1.Executive summary

  • Consolidated RCA Ebitda increased €67 m year-on-year (YoY) to €455 m, driven by a higher contribution from the E&P business.
  • E&P: RCA Ebitda increased €114 m YoY to €293 m, supported by increased production and higher oil and natural gas prices, and despite the 15% depreciation of the US Dollar against the Euro. Average working interest (WI) production reached 104.1 kboepd, up 18% YoY, supported by the progressive development of the Lula field, in the Brazilian pre-salt.
  • R&M: RCA Ebitda decreased €61 m YoY to €122 m, mainly due to the lower refining margins. Galp's refining margin stood at \$3.3/boe, compared to \$5.1/boe in the previous year. The spread over benchmark margin was \$1.5/bbl, benefiting from gasoline exports to the USA and pricing formulas of certain raw materials. The planned outage of the hydrocracker for 31 days impacted volumes and conversion capacity.
  • G&P: RCA Ebitda was €34 m, benefiting from natural gas pricing in European hubs and up €14 m compared to the previous year, which had been affected by restrictions on natural gas sourcing. Volumes sold reached 1,975 mm3 , down 2% YoY, with the increase in volumes sold to direct clients being insufficient to offset the lower LNG volumes traded.
  • Group RCA Ebit amounted to €278 m, reflecting the Ebitda evolution. IFRS Ebit was €319 m, with the inventory effect accounting for €42 m.
  • RCA net income was €135 m, up €57 m YoY, while IFRS net income increased to €130 m. Nonrecurring items of €38 m were mostly related to the Extraordinary Contribution to the Energy Sector (CESE) in Portugal.
  • Capex totalled €146 m, of which 80% was allocated to E&P activities.
  • The cash flow from operations was up significantly YoY to €245 m, although impacted by the €159 m working capital build. The Company generated a positive free cash flow of €29 m.
  • At the end of March, net debt stood at €1,885 m, in line with the end of 2017. Net debt to Ebitda was 1.0x.

Effective from 1 January 2018, G&G and G&A costs, mainly related to the exploration activity, started to be accounted as operating costs of the period in which they occur, and ceased to be capitalised. The Successful Efforts Method (SEM) was applied retrospectively and the 2017 figures were restated for comparison purposes.

4 Effective from 1 January 2018, G&G and G&A costs, mainly related to the exploration activity, started to be accounted as operating costs of the period in which they occur, and ceased to be capitalised. The Successful Efforts Method (SEM) was applied retrospectively and the 2017 figures were restated for comparison purposes.

Operations

The average working interest production of oil and natural gas was 104.1 kboepd, of which 88% corresponded to oil production.

Production increased 18% YoY supported by the ongoing development of the Lula field in block BM-S-11 in Brazil. It is worth highlighting that FPSO #7 has just recently fully ramped up production, with all seven units currently running at plateau levels in the Lula and Iracema projects.

Regarding Iara, in block BM-S-11-A, the Extended Well Test (EWT) in the Sururu area started through FPSO Cidade de São Vicente. The EWT, which aims to optimise the area's development plan, has contributed with 1 kbpd to the average quarterly production.

In block BM-S-8, a DST was performed in the Carcará Northwest (NW) area, aiming to test the quality of the reservoir and to contribute to the definition of the development plan.

In Angola, WI production was down 19% YoY to 7.0 kbpd, due to the natural decline of the fields in block 14. Net entitlement production decreased in line with WI production.

Regarding block 32 in Angola, the FPSO which will develop Kaombo North is currently on location.

Results

RCA Ebitda for the E&P business was €293 m, up €114 m YoY, on the back of increased production and average sale prices of oil and natural gas. The Group's average sale price increased \$12.8/boe YoY to \$58.2/boe. It is worth highlighting, however, the negative impact from the 15% depreciation of the US Dollar against the Euro compared with the first quarter of 2017.

Production costs increased €10 m YoY to €69 m, mainly due to the start of production of FPSO #7 in May 2017 and to the ongoing EWT in the Iara area. In unit terms, and on a net entitlement basis, production costs were \$9.2/boe, up \$1.1/boe YoY.

Amortisation and depreciation charges (including abandonment provisions) decreased €14 m YoY to €83 m, mainly due to the revision of the proved developed reserves depreciation rate, namely in block 14. On a net entitlement basis, DD&A decreased from \$13.2/boe to \$11.0/boe.

RCA Ebit was €210 m, up €128 m YoY.

During the first quarter of 2018, the contribution from E&P associates was €13 m.

Impact on Ebitda.

2 Excludes impairments on accounts receivables, which started to be accounted at Ebitda in 2018.

Operations

Raw materials processed decreased 4% YoY to 25.0 mmboe, mainly due to the planned outage of 31 days for the hydrocracker's maintenance at the Sines refinery. Crude oil accounted for 94% of raw materials processed, of which 83% corresponded to medium and heavy crudes.

Middle distillates (diesel and jet) accounted for 46% of production, whereas gasoline corresponded to 24% and fuel oil to 16%. Consumption and losses accounted for 7% of raw materials processed.

Volumes sold to direct clients stood at 2.1 mton, in line with the previous year. Volumes sold in Africa accounted for 10% of total volumes sold to direct clients.

Results

RCA Ebitda for the R&M business decreased €61 m YoY to €122 m, mainly due to the decrease of the refining margins in international markets and to the impact of the 15% depreciation of the US Dollar against the Euro.

Galp's refining margin stood at \$3.3/boe, compared to \$5.1/boe the previous year. The spread over benchmark margin was \$1.5/boe, as the Company benefited from gasoline exports to the USA and from pricing formulas of certain raw materials.

Refining cash costs stood at €46 m, or \$2.3/boe in unit terms. The unit increase was due to the weaker USD, maintenance costs and to the lower volume of raw materials processed during the maintenance period.

The marketing of oil products was supported by demand for oil products in Iberia.

Depreciation charges and provisions totalled €88 m in the period.

RCA Ebit was €33 m, while IFRS Ebit decreased to €74 m. The inventory effect was €41 m.

Excludes impairments on accounts receivables, which started to be accounted at Ebitda in 2018.

Operations

Total NG/LNG volumes sold decreased 32 mm3 YoY to 1,975 mm³, due to lower LNG trading volumes, and despite the 7% increase YoY in sales to direct clients, mostly due to the performance of the industrial segment in Spain.

Sales of electricity increased 7% YoY to 1,442 GWh, mainly due to customer acquisition in the marketing activity.

Results

During the first quarter of 2018, RCA Ebitda was €34 m, benefiting from natural gas pricing in European hubs and up €14 m from the previous year, which was impacted by sourcing restrictions.

Ebitda for the power segment rose €3 m YoY to €12 m, benefiting from the time lag of the natural gas purchase price and the sale price of energy produced.

The Ebitda during the quarter was impacted by impairments on receivables of €4 m, compared to €2 m in the previous year.

RCA Ebit was €28 m, while IFRS Ebit totalled €29 m.

Results from associated companies stood at €24 m.

1 Includes SPT payable in Brazil and IRP payable in Angola.

RCA Ebitda went up 17% YoY to €455 m, due to a higher contribution from the E&P business. The inventory effect was €42 m, with IFRS Ebitda reaching €497 m.

RCA Ebit increased €82 m to €278 m, while IFRS Ebit stood at €319 m.

Results from associated companies increased €7 m to €39 m, with a higher contribution from the E&P and R&M related companies.

Financial results were up €4 m YoY. In addition to the continuous reduction in net interests, it is worth highlighting the positive impact of €13 m mainly related to the mark-to-market of refining margin

hedging. The exchange losses resulted from the depreciation of local currencies against the Euro, namely in certain African subsidiaries.

RCA taxes increased €23 m, following the increase in taxes on oil and gas production, which reached €88 m.

Non-controlling interests, mainly attributable to Sinopec's stake in Petrogal Brasil, accounted for €29 m.

RCA net income reached €135 m, while IFRS net income was €130 m. The inventory effect was €33 m and non-recurring items, related to extraordinary energy sector taxes, accounted for €38 m.

The 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.

6. 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 March 31, 2018 and 2017, and December 31, 2017. The information in the consolidated financial position is reported as of 31 March 2018 and as of 31 December 2017.

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 material items considering the Group's activities.

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

With effect from January 1, 2018, Galp started considering as operating costs all expenditures incurred with G&G and G&A costs in the exploration activities. Other expenses in the exploration stage, including exploratory wells, continue to be capitalised and written-off when dry.

In addition to those costs, the G&A expenses that transferred from the exploration phase to the stage of development were adjusted under equity. This new policy was applied retrospectively and the comparable figures of 2017 were restated.

Effective from 1 January 2018, impairments on account receivables are accounted for at the Ebitda level, providing a better proxy for the cash generation of each business. Figures of 2017 were restated for comparison purposes.

Starting in 2018, Galp adopted IFRS 9, changing the calculation method for impairments on receivables based on expected losses, and taking into account the credit risk assessment from the beginning. This impact was not applied to 2017 figures.

The Company also implemented IFRS 15, which did not impact materially the Group's results. However, it should be noted that under and overlifting positions in the E&P business started to be accounted as other operating costs/income. This change was not applied to 2017 figures.

1. Significant changes to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017

1.1. Change of accounting policy for E&P with the adoption of the "Success Efforts Method" (SEM) effective 1 January 2018

As mentioned in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017, Galp Energia SGPS, S.A. (Galp, Galp Group) changed its accounting policy on 1 January 2018 regarding the recognition of research expenses in the exploration and production activity.

According to the accounting policy followed by Galp from 1999 to the previous year, research expenses were capitalized as tangible assets, as permitted by IFRS 6, and were subsequently amortized during the production period if commercially viable reserves were discovered.

Galp considers that the new accounting policy adopted on 1 January 2018 is more reliable, involves a more prudent approach and provides better comparability with other companies as it is adopted by almost all major IOCs (International Oil Company).

Thus, Galp recognizes, as operating cost, all expenditures incurred in the exploration phase (i.e. exploration and evaluation costs) related to research, which are best described as expenditures related to geological and geophysical studies (G&G) and general and administrative expenses (G&A). The remaining exploration expenses, namely exploratory wells, are capitalized as working in progress' fixed assets and are subject to periodic impairment tests. Dry wells are fully recognized as cost for the year. At the start of production, capitalized costs are depreciated based on the present depreciation policy.

In addition to the costs related to the exploration phase mentioned above, the expenses related to general and administrative expenses (G&A) that were transferred, in accordance with the previous accounting policy, from the exploration phase to the development phase, were adjusted in shareholders' equity with the application of this accounting policy.

As a voluntary change in accounting policy, the application of this change was retrospectively applied and the comparative information was restated. The impacts resulting from this change in accounting policy are described in Note 1.4.

1.2. Change in accounting policy with the application of IFRS 9 - "Financial Instruments"

Galp has adopted as of 1 January 2018 the new standard IFRS 9, which replaces the previous IAS 39. With the application of the standard, it also adopted the financial instruments hedging rules expressed in IFRS 9.

The application of IFRS 9 did not change the measurement of the financial instruments held by Galp, as well as the fair value hedge and cash flow hedge classification.

A new methodology for the calculation and reporting of Trade and other receivables impairment losses was introduced, changing the method from the incurred loss to the expected loss model, where the credit risk

assessment is considered at the initial recognition. The impacts resulting from this change in methodology at 1 January 2018 are described in Note 1.4.

The impacts of this standard have not been applied retrospectively, according to the transition rule expressed in IFRS 9.

1.3. Change in accounting policy with the application of IFRS 15 – "Revenue from contracts with customers"

Galp applied on 1 January 2018 the new standard IFRS 15, which replaces IAS 18. The application of IFRS 15 have not materially impacted the Galp Group companies. However, the amounts related to Under and Overlifting in the Exploration & Production activity, that were previously recognized as an integral part of Cost of Sale, are now included under Other Operating Costs and Other Operating Income, respectively.

The impacts of this standard have not been applied retrospectively, according to the transition rule expressed in IFRS 15.

1.4. Restated information on comparative figures as of 31 December 2017 and 31 March 2017

Restated information on comparative figures for the year ended as of 31 December 2017 and 31 March 2017 are as follows:

2. Significant accounting policies

The consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended 31 March 2018 were prepared under IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. These financial statements do not include all the notes that are normally prepared in the annual financial statements. In addition, only the material changes required by IFRS 7 and IFRS 13 were disclosed. In this context, these financial statements must be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Galp Group for the year ended 31 December 2017.

Based on the results of the Galp Group and its business units, as well as on the macroeconomic conditions of the countries and segments in which each business unit operates, there were no indications, as of 31 March 2018, that they would lead us to reassess the conclusions reached in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017, regarding the recoverability of tangible, intangible assets, goodwill and financial investments in associates and joint ventures.

In the period, there were no changes in the consolidation perimeter for Galp Group.

2.1. Standards, amendments to standards and interpretations endorsed by the European Union, to be applied in subsequent years, if applicable

IFRS 16 – Leases

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 immaterial value. The application of this accounting standard will mainly focus on operations included in the Exploration & Production and Refining & Marketing segments, namely impacting how the Group accounts for the activities related to the charter agreements of the vessels used in the Exploration & Production activity, as well as of leases of surface rights and constructions used in the oil products distribution activities.

Its application will result in changes in the accounting of lease agreements, which will result in impacts on the Group's financial statements, namely the income statement and statement of financial position, as well as the respective adjustment in the ratios that affect the operating results (ie EBITDA, EBIT), net debt, capital employed, among others.

Galp is still determining and quantifying the impacts of IFRS 16 on its financial statements. This standard will be applied to the Galp Group from the year beginning on 1 January 2019.

3. Segment reporting

Galp is positioned as an integrated oil company, deriving its revenues and income from a variety of products and services provided. In this context, the Group is organized into three different business segments: (i) Exploration & Production; (ii) Refining & Marketing; (iii) Gas & Power; and (iv) Others.

Regarding "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. The remaining accounting policies, as well as relevant information on the presentation of segment reporting can be found in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.

The comparative information for the year 2017 presented is not restated by the application of IFRS 15 for the period ended 31 March 2018. In the Exploration & Production segment, the effects of IFRS 15 are limited to the presentation of amounts with Over and Underlifting, which are reflected as Operating Costs and Operating Income instead of Cost of sale (changes in production) as previously reported.

The financial information for the previously identified segments, as of 31 March 2018 and 2017 is presented as follows:

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 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.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

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. Forwardlooking 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.
