1.Executive summary

FY2017 highlights

  • Ebitda for 2017 reached €1.87 billion (bn), on the back of the c.40% production growth in the upstream business and the solid operational performance from the downstream activities, whilst benefiting from the supportive macro environment.
  • Capital expenditure totalled €1.01 bn during the period, at the lower end of the guidance provided, and including the c.€150 m payment related to the Carcará North signing bonus.
  • Post-dividend free cash flow (FCF) during 2017 was positive by €149 m, confirming the high competitiveness and resilience of the Company's portfolio.
  • Net debt on 31 December amounted to €1.89 bn, with a net debt to Ebitda RCA ratio of 1.0x.

4Q17 highlights

  • Consolidated RCA Ebitda increased €93 m year-on-year (YoY) to €489 m, on the back of the performance of the E&P and R&M businesses.
  • RCA Ebitda for E&P was €306 m, up €74 m YoY, supported by production growth and higher oil and natural gas prices, despite the depreciation of the US Dollar against the Euro. The average working interest (WI) production reached 101.2 kboepd, up 19% YoY, supported by the progressive development of the Lula and Iracema projects, in Brazil. Production in the quarter benefited from the ramp-up of FPSO P-66 (#7).
  • RCA Ebitda for R&M was €147 m, a €42 m increase YoY, as the same period in 2016 had been impacted by the reallocation to E&P of the trading contribution of the oil produced and by one-off items. Galp's refining margin was \$4.9/boe, reflecting the lower refining margins in the international markets.
  • RCA Ebitda for G&P stood at €28 m, mainly impacted by the lower YoY contribution from the NG/LNG supply and trading business. Volumes sold reached 1.9 bcm in the quarter, benefiting from higher sales to the industrial segment.
  • Group RCA Ebit was €287 m, reflecting the Ebitda evolution and the impact of increased upstream DD&A and exploration expenses of €28 m, mainly in Angola.
  • RCA net income was €186 m, up €65 m YoY, while IFRS net income increased to €217 m. The inventory effect corresponded to €67 m, and non-recurring items amounted to €36 m.
  • Capex totalled €370 m during the quarter, of which 79% was allocated to E&P activities, including the c.€150 m Carcará North signing bonus.

3.Market environment

Dated Brent

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the average price of dated Brent increased \$11.9/bbl YoY to \$61.3/bbl. This increase resulted from a stronger than expected performance of the global economy and the extension of the OPEC production cuts, which caused a reduction of global inventories.

In 2017, dated Brent averaged \$54.2/bbl, up \$10.5/bbl YoY.

During the quarter, the average price spread between the Urals and the dated Brent narrowed from -\$1.6/bbl, in the previous year, to -\$1.1/bbl. The relative valuation of the Urals crude was due to the decrease in Russian exports, coupled with high demand from European refineries.

During the year, the price spread decreased when compared to 2016, from -\$2.1/bbl to -\$1.4/bbl.

Natural gas

Natural gas prices in Europe (NBP) increased \$1.3/mmbtu YoY to \$7.2/mmbtu during the fourth quarter of 2017, as a result of reduced inventories and higher demand from Asia.

During 2017, NBP averaged \$5.8/mmbtu, up \$1.1/mmbtu YoY.

In the quarter, LNG reference price in the USA (Henry Hub) decreased \$0.3/mmbtu YoY, to \$2.9/mmbtu, due to increased production and higher inventories in that region.

During the year, Henry Hub averaged \$3.0/mmbtu, up \$0.5/mmbtu YoY.

Refining margins

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the benchmark refining margin was \$3.5/bbl, down 8% YoY, mainly due to the impact of higher oil prices in consumption and losses inherent to the activity.

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the diesel crack was \$13.8/bbl, up \$0.8/bbl YoY, impacted mainly by lower inventories and unplanned outages in Europe.

The fuel oil crack was -\$7.3/bbl, compared to -\$5.1/bbl in the previous year, pressured by the higher fuel oil supply from Russia.

In 2017, the benchmark refining margin increased \$1.1/bbl YoY to \$4.2/bbl, supported by the increase in diesel, fuel and gasoline cracks.

Iberian market

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Iberian market for oil products totalled 15.9 million tonnes (mton), above the 15.7 mton in the previous year, benefiting from higher demand for jet fuel and diesel.

In 2017, the Iberian market for oil products grew 1.5% YoY to 63.2 mton.

In the quarter, the Iberian natural gas market went up 8.0% YoY to 10,293 mm³, supported by an increase of 13.9% in the consumption by the electricity production segment, which was in turn due to lower hydroelectric power generation, caused by low rainfall levels.

In 2017, the Iberian natural gas market increased by 11.5% YoY to 36,048 mm³.

Operations

Fourth quarter

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the average working interest production of oil and natural gas was 101.2 kboepd, with oil accounting for 88% of production.

Production increased 19% YoY due to the progressive development of the Lula and Iracema projects, where there are currently seven FPSOs operating, with six units producing at plateau.

FPSO #7, which started production in May, continued to ramp-up, with the connection of three producer wells during the fourth quarter. At year end, the FPSO was connected to a total of five producer wells and two injector wells. The connection to the natural gas export network is planned for the first quarter of 2018.

The topsides' integration works of FPSO #8, to be allocated to the Lula North area, proceed at the COOEC's shipyard in China, and the unit is expected to sail away to Brazil in the first quarter of 2018. Regarding the unit to develop the Lula Extreme South area (FPSO #9), the integration works proceed in the Brasfels shipyard, in Brazil.

In Angola, WI production was 7.2 kbpd, down 21% YoY, due to the natural decline of the fields in block 14. Net entitlement production decreased 24%, impacted by the cost recovery mechanism under the production sharing agreement.

Results fourth quarter 2017 February 20, 2018

In block 32, the two FPSO units to be allocated to the Kaombo area are undergoing conversion works in Singapore, with the remaining development works proceeding. Production is expected to start during 2018.

Following the production growth from Brazil, the Group's net entitlement production increased 20% YoY to 99.1 kboepd.

Results

Fourth quarter

During the fourth quarter of 2017, RCA Ebitda was €306 m, up €74 m YoY, on the back of higher production and increased oil and natural gas prices, despite the depreciation of the US Dollar against the Euro. The Group's average sale price was \$53.6/boe, up \$11.5/boe.

Production costs increased €22 m YoY to €62 m, mainly due to the start of production of FPSO #7 in May 2017. In unit terms and on a net entitlement basis, production costs stood at \$8.0/boe, with the YoY change reflecting an extraordinary adjustment in production costs in Brazil, in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Amortisation and depreciation charges (including abandonment provisions) increased €25 m YoY to €66 m, due to the increased producing asset base. On a net entitlement basis, depreciation and amortisation charges increased from \$5.8/boe to \$8.5/boe.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, write-offs amounted to €28 m, mainly related to exploration assets in block 14, in Angola.

RCA Ebit was €212 m in the fourth quarter of 2017, up €21 m YoY.

IFRS Ebit totalled €190 m in the period, with non-recurring items reaching €22 m, mainly related to an impairment in producing assets in block 14.

Full year

In 2017, the average WI production was 93.4 kboepd, up 38% YoY, on the back of the performance of FPSOs #4, #5 and #6, as well as the start of production of FPSO #7, in the Lula and Iracema fields.

Net entitlement production increased 41% YoY to 91.5 kboepd.

Full year

In 2017, 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, in line YoY.

Amortisations, depreciation charges and abandonment provisions 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.

Besides the impairment recorded in the fourth quarter, Ebit was also impacted by the €22 m impairment in Portugal accounted for in the second quarter of the year.

Operations

Fourth quarter

Raw materials processed reached 28.4 million barrels (mmboe), in line YoY. Crude oil accounted for 93% of raw materials processed, of which 85% corresponded to medium and heavy crudes.

Middle distillates (diesel and jet) accounted for 45% of production, whereas gasoline corresponded to 23%. Consumption and losses accounted for 7% of raw materials processed.

Volumes sold to direct clients stood at 2.2 mton, 2% higher YoY, mainly due to increased sales in the wholesale segment in Iberia and a 12% increase in volumes sold in Galp's African downstream operations.

Full year

Raw materials processed during 2017 increased 4% YoY to 114.2 mmboe, as the previous year had been impacted by outages in units at the Matosinhos and Sines refineries. Crude oil accounted for 91% of raw materials processed, of which 84% corresponded to medium and heavy crudes.

Middle distillates accounted for 46% of production, whereas gasoline corresponded to 23%. Consumption and losses accounted for 8% of raw materials processed.

Volumes sold to direct clients stood at 8.9 mton, up 1% YoY, despite the lower exposure to low margin activities within Iberia. Volumes sold in Galp's African downstream operations increased 14% and accounted for 10% of total volumes sold to direct clients.

Results fourth quarter 2017 February 20, 2018

Results

Fourth quarter

RCA Ebitda in R&M reached €147 m, up from €105 m in 4Q16, which was impacted by the reallocation to E&P of the trading contribution of the oil produced, by operational exchange rate differences from the rapid Dollar appreciation, and by the lag of pricing formulas, due to the significant increase in the price of commodities during that period.

Galp's refining margin was \$4.9/boe, compared to \$5.2/boe in the previous year, reflecting the refining margins trend in the international markets. The spread to benchmark margin was \$1.4/boe.

Refining cash costs stood at €47 m, or \$1.9/boe in unit terms.

The marketing of oil products business benefited from the economic environment in Iberia.

Depreciation charges and provisions amounted to €101 m, compared to €104 m in the previous year, which had been impacted by the revision of the operating life of certain refining assets, whose accounting for the second half was booked in the fourth quarter of 2016.

RCA Ebit went up to €45 m, while IFRS Ebit totalled €114 m. The inventory effect was €83 m and non-recurring items amounted to €15 m, due to a provision related to logistic assets in Portugal.

Full year

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 reached \$5.8/boe, compared to \$4.3/boe in the previous year. The spread to benchmark margin was \$1.6/boe, as the Company captured an additional 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.

During the period, refining margin hedging operations had a negative impact in Ebitda of €24 m.

The marketing of oil products business benefited from the economic upturn in Iberia. The activity's contribution in Africa increased following higher volumes sold.

Depreciation charges and provisions 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.

Operations

Fourth quarter

Total volumes sold in the natural gas segment increased 38 mm³ YoY to 1,899 mm³, driven by a 6% rise in sales to direct clients, following the increase of the customer base in the industrial segment.

Trading volumes decreased 3% YoY, as the larger NG volumes sold in European markets were not sufficient to offset the lower volumes of LNG sold in the international market.

Sales of electricity increased 5% YoY to 1,361 GWh due to the greater contribution from the marketing activity in Portugal.

Full year

Sales of natural gas were 7,348 mm³, up 283 mm³ YoY, which mostly reflected an increase in volumes sold to direct clients.

Volumes sold in the conventional segment (ie, industrial and retail) went up 14%, driven by higher volumes sold to the industrial segment.

In the electricity generation segment, volumes sold were 1,397 mm3 , up 19% YoY, benefiting from a lower hydro power generation in the Iberian Peninsula.

Volumes sold in the trading segment decreased 9% to 2,974 mm³, with the network trading increase not offsetting the lower LNG volumes sold.

Sales of electricity totalled 5,172 GWh, up 163 GWh YoY.

Results

Fourth quarter

RCA Ebitda for the G&P business was €28 m, down €26 m YoY, mainly due to lower results from the natural gas activity, but also due to the full deconsolidation of the regulated infrastructure business, since late October 2016.

RCA Ebit was €22 m, while IFRS Ebit totalled €24 m.

Results from associated companies reached €22 m.

Full year

RCA Ebitda was €141 m, down €172 m YoY, reflecting the deconsolidation of Galp Gás Natural Distribuição (GGND).

Ebitda 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 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 produced energy sold.

RCA Ebit decreased €141 m YoY to €112 m. IFRS Ebit was €119 m, compared to €251 m in the previous year.

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.

Fourth quarter

RCA Ebitda went up 24% YoY to €489 m, due to a higher contribution from the E&P and R&M businesses. IFRS Ebitda reached €573 m.

Considering the increase in amortisations and depreciation charges, RCA Ebit stood at €287 m. IFRS Ebit reached €336 m.

Results from associated companies increased to €37 m, with a higher contribution from Tupi B.V., related to the E&P activity, and from GGND within the G&P business.

Financial results were positive by €10 m, compared to a €15 m expense the previous year. This evolution was mainly due to the change in mark-to-market of refining margin hedging.

RCA taxes increased to €112 m, considering the growth of the Group's operating results, while benefiting from the reversal of a tax provision in the E&P business.

Non-controlling interests rose to €36 m due to higher results attributable to Sinopec's stake in Galp's Brazilian subsidiary.

RCA net income reached €186 m, while IFRS net income stood at €217 m. The inventory effect Results fourth quarter 2017 February 20, 2018

Full year

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.

Non-controlling interests, mainly attributable to Sinopec's stake in Petrogal Brasil, reached €92 m.

RCA net income reached €602 m, while IFRS net income was €614 m. The inventory effect was €96 m and non-recurring items accounted for €85 m.

CESE in Portugal had a negative impact on IFRS results of around €53 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.

8. Basis of presentation

Galp's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The financial information in the consolidated income statement is reported for the quarters ended on 31 December 2017 and 2016 and 30 September 2017. The financial information in the consolidated financial position is reported on 31 December and 30 September 2017 and 31 December 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.

Recent changes

Effective on 1 January 2017, exploration expenses written-off in the E&P business are considered as recurring items.

Effective on 1 October 2016, the contribution of the trading activity of oil produced, which was previously accounted for in the R&M business, started to be accounted for in the E&P business.

Replacement cost (RC)

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.

Replacement cost adjusted (RCA)

In addition to using the replacement cost method, RCA items exclude non-recurrent items 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.

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.
