1.Results highlights and outlook

FY2018 highlights

  • Cash Flow from Operations (CFFO) of €1.6 billion (bn), with the increasing contribution from the upstream business partially offset by a weaker refining environment and a €230 m working capital build.
  • Free cash flow (FCF) reached €619 m during 2018, up 11% YoY, and was €142 m after dividends.
  • RCA Ebitda up 24% YoY to €2.2 bn, reflecting a 15% working interest (WI) production growth and higher oil and natural gas prices, despite lower refining margins and higher concentration of planned maintenance.
  • Capex was €0.9 bn, including payments for the upstream acquisitions in Brazil.
  • At the end of the year, net debt was €1,737 m, with net debt of Ebitda at 0.8x.
  • Management proposal for 2018 fiscal year dividend of c.€0.63/share, a 15% increase.

4Q18 highlights

  • CFFO reached €402 m during the quarter, down 18% YoY, driven by a lower contribution from the downstream activity and higher upstream taxes. FCF reached €120 m.
  • Consolidated RCA Ebitda was €493 m, up 4% YoY:
  • E&P: RCA Ebitda was €339 m, up €44 m YoY, benefiting from the increase in production and higher oil and natural gas sale prices, although impacted by the closing of underlifting positions related with previous periods.

Average WI production reached 113.1 kboepd, up 12% YoY, supported by the contribution at plateau of FPSO #7 and the start of production of FPSO #8, in Brazil, and the start-up of the Kaombo North FPSO in Angola.

  • R&M: RCA Ebitda was €118 m, down €26 m YoY, impacted by planned maintenance activities and a \$4.3/boe refining margin, following a weaker refining environment.
  • G&P: RCA Ebitda reached €25 m, down €2 m YoY, reflecting a slightly lower contribution from the power activity.
  • Group RCA Ebit amounted to €313 m, 9% up YoY. IFRS Ebit was €225 m.
  • RCA net income was €109 m, down €80 m YoY, affected by the mark-to-market of G&P derivatives. IFRS net income was €44 m.
  • Capex totalled €301 m, of which 50% was allocated to the R&M business, mainly driven by the maintenance activities during the period and investments in higher conversion and energy efficiency projects (+\$1/boe initiatives).
  • On February 1, 2019, FPSO #9 (P-67) started production in the Lula North area, in Brazil.

Operations

Fourth quarter

Working interest production increased 12% YoY to 113.1 kboepd, due to the progress in the Lula field in block BM-S-11, in Brazil, and in Kaombo in Angola. Natural gas amounted to 12% of the Group's total production.

In Brazil, the higher production was supported by FPSO #7, which contributed at oil plateau levels during the period, and the start-up of FPSO #8 in October, the second replicant unit, which is developing the Lula Extreme South area.

It should be highlighted that, during February 2019, FPSO #9 started production in the Lula North area, completing the first phase of development of the Lula and Iracema projects.

The drilling of the Carcará West well, in the Carcará North area, proceeded during the quarter, with the consortium notifying the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) of an oil find. Operations in the well are still ongoing and the consortium will continue to work on the acquired data.

In Angola, WI production was up 42% YoY to 10.2 kbpd, driven by the start-up of the Kaombo North FPSO, in block 32. Net entitlement production increased 71% YoY to 8.9 kbpd.

Full year

During 2018, average WI production was 107.3 kboepd, a 15% increase YoY, driven mainly by the development of the Lula project, considering the ramp-up of FPSO #7 and the start-up of FPSO #8, and also benefiting from

Results

Fourth quarter

RCA Ebitda was €339 m, up 15% YoY, mostly driven by the production increase and higher commodity prices, although impacted by the closing of underlifting positions related to previous periods.

Production costs were stable YoY at €63 m, despite the start-up of FPSO #8 in Brazil. In unit terms, and on a net entitlement basis, production costs were \$7.0/boe, down \$1.0/boe YoY, benefiting from the higher production.

Amortisation and depreciation charges (including abandonment provisions) decreased €4 m YoY to €79 m, despite the increased asset base, due to the depreciation of the BRL:EUR and to the reversion of abandonment provisions related to block 14 and 14k in Angola. On a net entitlement basis, DD&A decreased from \$10.7/boe to \$8.8/boe, also benefiting from the higher production.

RCA Ebit was €260 m, up 22% YoY.

Non-recurring items of €19 m were due to a reversal of impairments in Angola.

the start-up of the first unit in the Kaombo project.

Net entitlement production increased 16% YoY to 105.9 kboepd.

Full year

RCA Ebitda amounted to €1,440 m, up €590 m YoY, benefiting from the increased average sale prices and production.

Production costs increased €26 m YoY to €268 m, as a result of a higher number of production areas operating in Brazil and Angola, and considering maintenance activities in 2018. In unit terms, and on a net entitlement basis, production costs were stable at \$8.2/boe, as the higher production dilution offset increased costs.

Amortisation, depreciation charges and abandonment provisions amounted to €331 m, down €38 m YoY, benefiting from the lower BRL:EUR and from reversions of provisions accounted during the fourth quarter. On a net entitlement basis, unit depreciation charges were \$10.1/boe, down \$2.4/boe YoY.

RCA Ebit was €1,109 m, up €628 m YoY.

The contribution of associated companies was €50 m in 2018.

Reserves and resources

In 2018, proved and probable (2P) reserves slightly increased 1% YoY to 755 mmboe, as upwards revisions in Brazil, namely in blocks BM-S-11/BM-S-11A, more than offset the production during the period. Natural gas reserves increased YoY and accounted for 21% of total 2P reserves.

The 2C contingent resources increased 23% YoY to 1,659 mmboe, mostly reflecting the revised development plan for the Rovuma LNG project in Mozambique.

Contingent resources also benefited from additions in block BM-S-8, in Brazil, as Galp increased its stake in the block to 20%. Natural gas contingent resources increased 49% YoY and accounted for 51% of the Group's total.

Risked prospective resources at year-end stood at 623 mmboe, up 57 mmboe YoY, mostly driven by the additions from new acquisitions of interests in Brazil which offset the transfer from prospective to contingent resources from new discoveries in Brazil and the relinquishment of Portuguese acreage during the period.

Galp's reserves and resources are subject to an independent evaluation by DeGolyer and MacNaughton (DeMac).

Unitisation processes in Brazil

In general, when an oil and gas deposit extends beyond their licensed area, there will be an unitisation process with the adjacent areas to determine the proper interest of each participant in the unitised area.

Several of Galp's Brazilian pre-salt discoveries extend beyond its licensed areas. As a consequence, Galp will have its interests in the unitised areas determined once these unitisation processes are concluded. The outcome of such unitisation processes will enable Galp to proportionally maintain, with respect to the unitised area, the same rights and volumes entitlement that it held with respect to the original licensed area.

The unitisation processes should lead to equalizations among the participants in each licensed area, based on past capital expenditures carried by partners for their original interest and the net profits received thereunder. These equalisations should therefore lead to reimbursements among partners as per the terms and conditions agreed between themselves.

In Brazil, the unitisation agreements are contingent to the approval of ANP. Therefore the moment for the determination of the partners' interests in the unitised area and the underlying equalization adjustments among the partners will be conditioned to such approval.

All of the Company's operational and financial projections include the likely outcome from unitisation. As of 31 December 2018, Galp's best estimate to the five unitisation agreements submitted to ANP, and expecting approval, is a net receivable position of c.€100 m.

Operations

Fourth quarter

Raw materials processed were 19.2 mmboe during the quarter, 32% lower YoY due to the planned maintenance in the Sines and Matosinhos refineries. Crude oil accounted for 87% of raw materials processed, of which 81% corresponded to medium and heavy crudes.

Middle distillates (diesel and jet) accounted for 50% of production, gasoline for 22% and fuel oil for 17%. Consumption and losses accounted for 8% of raw materials processed.

Total product sales decreased 19% YoY, driven by fewer exports considering lower product availability. Volumes sold to direct clients stood at 2.2 mton YoY.

Full year

Raw materials processed were 100.4 mmboe, 12% lower YoY, also impacted by the planned maintenance of the hydrocracker (HC) in Sines during the first quarter. Crude oil accounted for 92% of raw materials processed, of which 85% corresponded to medium and heavy crudes.

Middle distillates accounted for 47% of production, gasoline for 23% and fuel oil for 16%. Consumption and losses accounted for 7% of raw materials processed.

Volumes sold to direct clients were 8.8 mton, with volumes sold in Africa accounting for 11%.

Results

Fourth quarter

RCA Ebitda for the R&M business decreased €26 m YoY to €118 m, impacted by a lower contribution from the refining activity.

Galp's refining margin was down YoY to \$4.3/boe, mainly due to a weaker gasoline crack, as well as maintenance namely in the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit.

Refining costs were up €26 m YoY to €72 m, or \$4.3/boe in unit terms, due to maintenance works performed during the period.

Refining margin hedging operations contributed with €5 m during the quarter.

The marketing activity benefited from robust sales to direct clients and from the lag in pricing formulas.

RCA Ebit was €24 m, while IFRS Ebit was negative by €86 m. The inventory effect was €108 m.

Full year

Ebitda RCA decreased €165 m YoY to €610 m, mainly due to the lower contribution from the refining activity.

Galp's refining margin stood at \$5.0/boe, compared to \$5.8/boe the previous year, mainly due to a lower gasoline crack as well as fuel oil trading at a higher discount to Brent.

Refining costs were €219 m, up €46 m YoY, mainly due to a higher maintenance activity during the year in both refineries. In unit terms, refining costs were \$2.6/boe.

Refining margin hedging operations contributed with €21 m during the period, compared to a loss of €24 m in the previous year.

The marketing activity maintained its positive contribution to results.

RCA Ebit was €265 m and IFRS Ebit decreased to €343 m. The inventory effect was €50 m.

Non-recurring items of €28 m were mainly related to a litigation compensation inflow.

Total volumes sold of NG/LNG were 1,725 mm³, down 9% YoY, impacted by the end of the long-term LNG structured contracts in September 2018.

Sales to direct clients were 1,181 mm3 , up 72 mm3 YoY, supported by an increase in sales to industrial clients.

Sales of electricity were 1,161 GWh, a 15% decrease YoY, due to a lower contribution from sales to direct clients in Portugal as well as from the cogenerations.

Full year

Sales of NG/LNG increased 4% YoY to 7,616 mm³, supported by the increase in network trading volumes but also reflecting higher sales to industrial clients.

Sales of electricity were stable YoY at 5,191 GWh, with the declining sales to the grid compensated by sales to final clients.

Results

Fourth quarter

RCA Ebitda slightly decreased YoY to €25 m, reflecting a lower contribution from the cogenerations, impacted by maintenance activities during the period.

Ebitda for the Supply & Trading activity increased €2 m YoY to €18 m, with a higher contribution from the sales of natural gas and electricity sales to direct clients.

RCA Ebit was €20 m, while IFRS Ebit totalled €24 m.

Full year

RCA Ebitda was €137 m YoY, up €5 m YoY, supported by a higher contribution from the power business, benefiting from the lag between natural gas purchase and electricity sales price.

Ebitda for the Supply & Trading activity decreased €3 m YoY to €91 m, impacted by a decrease in LNG cargoes and by a lower contribution from the sales to direct clients.

RCA Ebit was €116 m, while IFRS Ebit was €132 m.

Results from associated companies stood at €93 m, of which €30 m related to Galp Gás Natural Distribuição, S.A. (GGND).

Fourth quarter

RCA Ebitda increased 4% YoY to €493 m, due to a higher contribution from the E&P business, while IFRS Ebitda reached €387 m, considering an inventory effect of €104 m.

RCA Ebit increased €26 m YoY to €313 m, while IFRS Ebit was €225 m.

During the quarter, financial results were negative by €64 m, mostly related to the markto-market of derivatives to cover natural gas price risks, within the G&P business, as well as from refining margin hedging. In the case of the G&P derivatives, the positive impact from these economic hedges should be realised as the underlying gas volumes are delivered.

RCA taxes increased from €107 m to €132 m, following higher operating results from the upstream.

Non-controlling interests of €31 m were mainly attributable to Sinopec's stake in Petrogal Brasil.

RCA net income was €109 m, while IFRS net income was €44 m. Non-recurring items of €7 m were mostly related to the reversal of impairments in Angola.

Full year

RCA Ebitda increased 24% YoY to €2,218 m, driven by a stronger upstream performance, following increased production and average sale prices.

RCA Ebit reached €1,518 m, up €486 m YoY, while IFRS Ebit increased to €1,629 m.

Results from associated companies decreased to €137 m.

Financial results of -€70 m were impacted by the mark-to-market of derivatives and FX effects. It is also worth highlighting the YoY decrease in net interests following the reduction in the average cost of funding.

RCA taxes increased €244 m YoY to €726 m, mainly due to higher taxes related to the production of oil and natural gas.

Non-controlling interests of €151 m were mainly attributable to Sinopec's 30% stake in Petrogal Brasil.

RCA net income reached €707 m, while IFRS net income was €741 m.

CESE in Portugal had a negative impact on IFRS results of around €52 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.

Fourth quarter

Capex totalled €301 m during the quarter, of which 50% allocated to the R&M business, namely to maintenance activities and higher conversion and energy efficiency projects ("\$1/boe initiatives").

Investment in development and production activities reached €114 m, and it was mostly related with the execution of Lula in block BM-S-11 but also in block 32 in Angola. It is also worth highlighting the increased investment in the Coral South FLNG development, in Mozambique.

Capex of €27 m in exploration and appraisal (E&A) activities was mainly allocated to activities in the Greater Carcará area.

Full year

During 2018, capex totalled €899 m, including the €103 m payments related with E&P acquisitions in Brazil during the period.

E&P accounted for c.70% of capex, of which development and production activities accounted for 65%, mostly allocated to Brazil and block 32 in Angola.

Capex in E&A activities was mainly related with the acquisition of new acreage through Brazilian bid rounds and with the increased stake in BM-S-8.

Investment in downstream activities (R&M and G&P) reached €267 m and was mostly allocated to refining maintenance and to the continuing implementation of the \$1/boe initiatives, as well as to the renewal of the retail network.

Fourth quarter

CFFO was €402 m, down YoY, driven by lower commodity prices, by a lower contribution from downstream and by higher E&P taxes, whilst supported by a normalisation of working capital.

FCF increased to €120 m.

Full year

CFFO stood at €1.6 bn, with the increasing contribution from the upstream business partially offset by a weaker downstream refining environment and a €230 m working capital build.

The full year post-dividend FCF reached €142 m, considering a net capex of €896 m and dividends paid during the year.

6. Basis of reporting

Galp's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The financial information in the consolidated income statement and in the consolidated financial position is reported for the periods ended on December 31, 2018 and 2017, and September 30, 2018.

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 profitability measures exclude non-recurring 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.

IFRS 16

Galp will be adopting IFRS 16 as from January 1, 2019. Under this accounting standard, most lease agreements will be recognised in the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a financial liability. Subsequently, the right-of-use asset will be depreciated through the shortest of its economic useful life or the lease agreement tenure. The financial liability will consider interest based on the agreement's effective interest rate or the contracting entity's borrowing rate. Lease payments will be reflected as a reduction of lease liabilities.

The adoption of IFRS 16 will not impact the Company's cash generation. For estimation purposes, if the IFRS 16 accounting standard had been adopted in 2018, Ebitda and CFFO would have been c.€170 m higher.

With IFRS 16, net debt is estimated at €2,940 m as of January 1, 2019, while net debt to Ebitda ratio would have been 1.2x.

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 of 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 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, extraordinary taxes, 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.
