Executive summary

MAIN OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS DURING THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2015

  • Working interest production of oil and natural gas amounted to 43.7 kboepd, with the production increase in Brazil contributing to this result;
  • Galp Energia's refining margin reached \$6.6/boe, following the favourable refining margins in the international markets; the marketing of oil products maintained its positive contribution to results, supported by the stability of the volumes sold and operational performance optimisation;
  • Natural gas sold reached 5,973 million cubic metres (mm³), mainly due to the increase in volumes sold in the trading segment;
  • During the first nine months of 2015, Galp Energia continued to implement its strategy focused on the execution of its Exploration & Production (E&P) projects and on the optimisation of its Refining & Marketing (R&M) and Gas & Power (G&P) businesses.
  • Development activities proceeded in the Lula/Iracema fields in Brazil, with the start of operations of FPSO Cidade de Itaguaí (FPSO #4) in the Iracema North area, and with the ramp-up of FPSO Cidade de Mangaratiba (FPSO #3), which reached an average production of c.130 kbopd, with only four producer wells connected. FPSOs Cidade de Angra dos Reis (FPSO #1) and Cidade de Paraty (FPSO #2) continued to produce at plateau levels in the Lula area.
  • Regarding exploration and appraisal activities, the consortium of block BM-S-8 concluded the second drilling stage of the Carcará Northwest (NW) appraisal well, which confirmed the extension of the Carcará discovery, and started the DST preliminary activities in the Carcará North well.

  • The Group's consolidated Ebitda rose to €1,255 million (m), up 37% year-on-year (YoY), on a replacement cost adjusted (RCA) basis, supported by the contribution of the Refining & Marketing (R&M) business;

  • Capital expenditure during the quarter amounted to €852 m, of which 92% was allocated to exploration and production activities;
  • Net debt at the end of September 2015 amounted to €1,606 m considering the loan to Sinopec as cash and equivalents.

In the Potiguar basin, the drilling of the Pitú North appraisal well has started.

Regarding R&M and G&P activities, Galp Energia continues to focus on increasing the return on capital employed. It is worth highlighting the contribution of the refining activity during the period, supported by the positive evolution of international margins, and the high availability of the refining system together with the positive performance of the marketing of oil products business. The G&P activity was impacted by t h e lower performance of the power business, and by the downward revision of the rate of return in the regulated infrastructure business.

Exploration & Production activities

DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

Brazil

Galp Energia and its partners continued with the development works on the Lula/Iracema project with FPSO #4 starting production in late July, in the Iracema North area. That FPSO has a capacity to process 150 kbopd and 8 mm3 of natural gas on a daily basis. The development plan involves the connection of 17 wells, 14 of which have already been drilled. FPSO #4 reached an average production of c.30 kbopd through one producer well since the start of operations, with the first injector well connected during September and a second producer well connected in October.

In the Iracema South area, it is worth highlighting the connection of the fourth producer well to FPSO #3 in the beginning of July with a fourth injector well connected in September. The consortium expects that a producer well and an injector well will be connected before the end of the year, making a total of five wells each, allowing for the unit to reach plateau production.

During 2015, FPSO #1 and #2 continued operating steadily at plateau levels, in the Lula Pilot and Lula Northeast (NE) areas, respectively. It is worth highlighting as well the extended well test currently underway in the Lula North area through FPSO #2.

The Cabiúnas consortium proceeded with the pipeline installation works that started during the second quarter of 2014. The installation is expected to be concluded by the beginning of 2016.

Regarding the remaining FPSO units planned to be assigned to the Lula/Iracema fields, construction works proceeded.

FPSO Cidade de Maricá (FPSO #5), unit assigned to the Lula Alto area, is in the Mauá shipyard, in Brazil, since the beginning of the third quarter, where the remaining integration works are being carried out. FPSO Cidade de Saquarema (FPSO #6), assigned to the Lula Central area, sailed away from the Chengxi shipyard, in China, during September, to the Mauá shipyard for the remaining integration works. Those FPSOs are expected to start production during the first half of 2016.

Regarding the replicant FPSO units, the integration of topsides on the replicant unit allocated to Lula South area has proceeded in the Brasfels shipyard. The hull of the unit set for the Lula North area left in September the Rio Grande do Sul shipyard, heading to the COOEC shipyard, in China, where the topsides integration works will be executed.

Construction works proceeded on the hull of the unit set for development of the Lula Extreme South area in the COSCO shipyard, in China.

The tie-back of the Lianzi field to the compliant piled tower (CPT) platform in the Benguela-Belize-Lobito-Tomboco field (BBLT), in block 14, was conducted. Alongside those works, the consortium took the opportunity to perform maintenance works on the platform during August. In September, the works were completed and production in the BBLT field resumed.

The start of production in the Lianzi field, in block 14k, is imminent, and this project comprehends the connection of two producer wells.

Regarding block 32, engineering and procurement works, as well as conversion works of the FPSO units associated to the Kaombo project proceeded, in Singapore.

EXPLORATION AND APPRAISAL ACTIVITIES

Brazil

The consortium of block BM-S-8 concluded the second phase of the Carcará NW appraisal well drilling. This confirmed the extension to the northwest of the Carcará discovery, through the identification of continuous carbonate reservoirs of excellent quality. During September, the consortium started the DST preliminary activities in the Carcará North well, with the purpose of

testing the reservoir's permeability and productivity.

In the Potiguar offshore basin, the drilling of the Pitú North appraisal well started in license BM-POT-17, with the objective of confirming the extension of the Pitú discovery. Once drilling is concluded, the consortium will evaluate the execution of a DST.

Operating and financial performance

1. MARKET ENVIRONMENT

EUR:USD

During the first nine months of 2015, the average EUR:USD exchange rate was 1.115, corresponding to a devaluation of 18% YoY.

Dated Brent

During the first nine months of 2015, the average dated Brent decreased \$55.3/bbl YoY to \$51.2/bbl, as the oil global demand of 94.1 million barrels per day (mmbopd) was not sufficient to absorb the world production of 96.0 mmbopd in the same period, which was supported by the production increase of crude oil in the USA and OPEC countries.

During the first nine months of 2015, the spread between the price of Urals and Dated Brent was at -\$1.1/bbl, compared to -\$1.8/bbl in the previous year.

Natural Gas

During the first nine months of 2015, the spread between the Asian LNG reference price (JKM) and the natural gas price in Europe (NBP) tightened \$7.0/mmbtu YoY to \$0.6/mmbtu.

Refining Margins

During the first nine months of 2015, the benchmark refining margin increased by \$5.0/bbl YoY to \$5.6/bbl, following the decrease of the crude price, impacting the consumptions and losses value, and the positive evolution of the gasoline crack.

Iberian Market

During the first nine months of 2015, the Iberian market for oil products rose 2.6% YoY to 45.1 mton.

During the same period, the natural gas market reached 23.127 mm³, up 6.4% YoY. The electrical segment rose 32.9%, whilst the conventional segment increased 1.6%.

Operations

During the first nine months of 2015, working interest production increased 53% to 43.7 kboepd, due to a higher production contribution from Brazil, which increased 90% YoY to 34.1 kboepd. That evolution was supported by the higher output of FPSO #2, and the start of production of FPSO #3 and FPSO #4.

Results

Ebitda for the first nine months of 2015 dropped €39 m YoY to €304 m, following the decrease in the average sale price of oil and natural gas, and despite the increase in net entitlement production and the appreciation of the Dollar against the Euro.

The average sale price was \$49.0/boe, whilst during the first nine months of 2014 it was \$98.8/boe.

During the first nine months of 2015, production costs increased €25 m YoY to €97 m, as a result of the start of operations of FPSO #3 and #4 in Brazil. During the first nine months of 2015, net entitlement production rose 65% YoY to 41.2 kboepd, mainly as a result of production increase in Brazil.

Net entitlement production in Angola increased 2% YoY to 7.1 kbopd.

On the other hand, production costs in Angola decreased €6 m YoY. In unit terms, production costs decreased \$4.7/boe YoY to \$9.6/boe.

Depreciation charges during the first nine months of 2015 increased €58 m YoY to €170 m, as a result of the increased asset base and higher production in Brazil. On a net entitlement basis, depreciation charges decreased \$5.5/boe YoY, to \$16.8/boe.

Ebit decreased €97 m YoY to €133 m.

Operations

Raw materials processed during the first nine months of 2015 increased 31% YoY to 85.8 mmbbl, as the volume of raw materials processed had been affected by the planned outage of the Sines refinery in the first half of 2014.

During the first nine months of 2015, crude oil processed accounted for 89% of raw materials processed, of which 83% corresponded to medium and heavy crudes.

The production of middle distillates accounted for 47% of total production, whereas gasoline and fuel oil accounted for 22% and 17% of total production, respectively. Consumption and losses accounted for 8%, in line with the previous year.

Results

During the first nine months of 2015, Ebitda increased €414 m YoY to €635 m, due to improved results from refining activity and the positive performance of the oil products marketing activity.

During the first nine months of 2015, Galp Energia's average refining margin was \$6.6/boe, compared to \$2.0/boe in the previous year, following the improved refining margins in the international market.

Volumes sold to direct clients increased 2% compared to the first nine months of 2014, benefitting from the recovery of the Iberian oil market. Volumes of oil products sold in Africa accounted for 8% of total volumes sold in the period.

During the first nine months of 2015, Galp Energia continued its programme aiming at increasing refineries' energy efficiency. Sines refinery emission indicators reached 31.8 kgCO2/CWT, compared to 32.9 kgCO2/CWT in 2014. That value is well below the 37.7 CO2/CWT average of the refining industry.

Refining cash costs amounted to €201 m during the first nine months of 2015, and remained stable in unit terms at \$2.6/boe compared to the previous year. However, in 2015, costs were affected by the hedging operations on the refining margin, which had an average impact of \$1.0/boe during the period. Excluding this impact, the refining cash costs were \$1.6/boe.

Marketing of oil products also contributed positively to the results evolution, benefitting from the improvement in volumes sold.

As a result, Ebit during the first nine months of 2015 stood at €422 m, up €428 YoY.

During the first nine months of 2015, volumes sold in the natural gas segment increased 7% YoY to 5,973 mm³, reflecting the increase in volumes sold in the trading and electrical segments.

Volumes sold in the international market increased 12% to 3,122 mm3 . A total of 27 LNG trading operations took place, a decrease of five YoY that was offset by the higher network trading activity, whose volumes increased to 1,013 mm3 , compared to 316 mm3 in the previous year.

Sales to direct clients were supported by larger volumes sold in the electrical segment, which

Results

Ebitda for the G&P business during the first nine months of 2015 was down €42 m YoY to €295 m, mostly due to lower results in the power and infrastructure businesses.

Ebitda for the power business dropped €19 m, standing at €3 m, impacted by the lag in the natural gas purchase price indexes, compared to the pricing formulas of energy produced, particularly during the first quarter of 2015.

increased 36% to 730 mm3 , as a result of the higher consumption of natural gas for power generation in Portugal.

Volumes sold to retail and industrial clients in Iberia decreased 15% and 4%, to 289 mm3 and 1,832 mm3 , respectively.

Sales of electricity increased 670 GWh YoY to a total of 3,466 GWh in the first nine months of 2015, mainly due to the increased marketing of electricity, which more than offset the drop on sales of electricity to the grid, standing at 1,029 GWh.

In turn, Ebitda for the regulated infrastructure business contributed with €102 m to Ebitda for the period, impacted by the downward revision of the rate of return.

Ebitda for the natural gas segment also dropped 3% to €190 m.

Ebit for the G&P business segment stood at €242 m during the period, i.e., down 13% YoY.

A total of €782 m were channelled into the E&P activity, 88% of which was allocated to development activities, namely to Brazil's Lula/Iracema fields and Angola's block 32.

Capital expenditure in downstream and gas activities stood at €67 m, a 25% fall YoY, as investment in 2014 had been impacted by the general outage for maintenance at the Sines refinery.

1 Net debt of €2,387 m adjusted to €781 m of the loan to Sinopec.

2 Ratio considers net debt including loan to Sinopec as cash equivalent, plus €168 m Sinopec Shareholder Loan to Petrogal Brasil as debt, and LTM Ebitda RCA €1,661 m.

As of 30 September 2015, net debt decreased to €2,387 m, down by €133 m when compared to the end of 2014.

Considering the €781 m balance of the Sinopec loan as cash and equivalents, net debt totalled €1,606 m at the end of the first nine months of the year, which translates into a net debt to Ebitda ratio of 1.1x, considering as part of the calculation of this ratio the €168 m of Sinopec's shareholder loans to the subsidiary Petrogal Brasil.

At the end of September 2015, the average interest rate was 3.82%, with 42% of total debt on a fixed-rate basis.

Debt had an average maturity of 3.3 years, and medium and long-term debt accounted for 85% of the total.

On 30 September 2015, c.75% of total debt was scheduled to mature from 2018 onwards.

It is also worth mentioning that, at the end of the nine months of 2015, Galp Energia had unused credit lines of c.€1.1 bn, 60% of which were contractually guaranteed.

Additional Information

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Galp Energia's consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended on 30 September 2015 and 2014 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The financial information in the consolidated income statement is reported for the nine months ended on 30 September 2015 and 2014. The financial information in the consolidated financial position is reported on 30 September and 31 December 2014.

Galp Energia'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 Energia's operating performance, RCA profit 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

As of 1 January 2015, Galp Energia's basis for calculating both the unit refining margin and associated cash costs considers all processed raw materials (converted into barrels of oil equivalent), whereas before the calculation only considered processed crude. For comparison purposes, this change has been reflected in the same period of last year.

1. INTRODUCTION

Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. (hereinafter referred to as Galp or the Company) has its Head Office in Rua Tomás da Fonseca in Lisbon, Portugal and is primarily engaged in the management of equity participations in other companies.

The Company shareholder position as of 30 September 2015 is stated in Note 19.

The Company is listed on the Euronext Lisbon stock exchange.

a) The Group:

As of 30 September 2015 the Galp Group (the Group) consists of Galp and its subsidiaries, which includes, among others: (i) Petróleos de Portugal – Petrogal, S.A. (Petrogal) and its subsidiaries, which carry out their activities in the crude oil and related derivatives sector; (ii) Galp Gás & Power, SGPS, S.A. and its subsidiaries, which operate in the natural gas sector, electricity sector and renewable energy sector; (iii) Galp Energia E&P, B.V. integrating the oil exploration activities and (iv) Galp Energia, S.A. which integrates the corporate support services.

b1) Upstream operations in the crude oil sector

The Exploration & Production (E&P) business segment is responsible for the presence of Galp Energia in the oil industry upstream sector, which consists in the supervision and execution of all activities relating to exploration, development and production of hydrocarbons, mainly in Angola, Brazil and Mozambique.

b2) Downstream operations in the crude oil sector

The Refining & Marketing (R&M) business segment owns the two refineries in Portugal and also includes all activities relating to the retail and wholesale marketing of oil products (including LPG). The Refining & Marketing segment also comprises oil products storage and transportation infrastructure in Portugal, for both export and marketing of its products to the main consumption centres. This retail marketing activity, using the Galp brand, also includes Spain, Angola, Cape Verde, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and Swaziland through controlled subsidiaries of the Group.

b3) Natural gas activity and energy production and commercialisation

The Gas & Power (G&P) business segment encompasses the areas of procurement, supply, distribution and storage of natural gas and electric and thermal power generation.

The natural gas activity includes (i) Procurement and supply and (ii) Distribution and supply.

The procurement and supply of natural gas segment supplies natural gas to large industrial customers, with annual consumptions of more than 2 mmᶟ, power generation companies, natural gas distribution companies and Autonomous Gas Units (AGU). So as to meet the demand of its customers, Galp has long-term supply contracts with companies in Algeria and Nigeria.

The natural gas distribution and supply activity in Portugal includes the natural gas distribution and supply companies in which Galp Energia has significant participation. Its purpose is to sell natural gas to those residential, commercial and industrial customers with annual consumptions of less than 2 mmᶟ. Galp is also a player in the Spanish regulated market, supplying low pressure natural gas through its subsidiaries, to thirty eight neighbouring municipalities of Madrid. This activity includes the supply of natural gas to end customers, both regulated and nonregulated, in the area covered by the distribution activity referred above.

The natural gas subsidiaries of the Galp Group that supply natural gas in Portugal, operate based on concession contracts entered into with the Portuguese State, which end in 2047. At the end of this period, the assets relating to the concessions will be transferred to the Portuguese State and the companies will receive an amount corresponding to the book value of these assets on that date, net of depreciation, financial co-participation and Government grants.

The accompanying financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, unless otherwise stated.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidated financial statements of Galp Energia Group were prepared on a going concern basis, at historical cost except for derivative financial instruments which are stated at fair value, based on the accounting records of the companies included in the consolidation in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU), effective for the economic year beginning 1 January 2015. These standards include IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and International Accounting Standards (IAS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) and respective interpretations – SIC and IFRIC, issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) and Standing Interpretation Committee (SIC). These standards and interpretations are hereinafter referred to as IFRS.

The Board of Directors considers that these consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes provide a fair presentation of the consolidated interim financial information prepared in accordance with "IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting". In preparing the consolidated financial statements, estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the amounts of income and costs of the reporting period were used. The estimates and assumptions used by the Board of Directors were based on the best information available of the events and transactions in process, at the time of approval of the consolidated financial statements.

In respect to the construction contracts under the scope of IFRIC12, the construction of assets under concession contracts is subcontracted to specialised entities which assume their own construction activity risk. Income and expenses associated with the construction of these assets are of equal amounts and are recognised as Other operating costs and Other operating income.

As of 30 September 2015 were disclosed only material changes required by IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures. For all other disclosures under this standard refer to the Company's consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2014.

2.23. Changes in accounting policies

Following an accounting interpretation from Portuguese Securities Market Commission regarding the accounting treatment for the Energy sector extraordinary contribution ("CESE") established by Law 82-B/2014 of 31 December, with the objective of standardising the accounting policies followed by the different market players, the Company started to recognise the total amount of the cost and liability as of 1 January, instead of deferring the cost along the year. Therefore, this change in accounting policy had an impact as of September 2015 of €7,316k under the caption Energy sector extraordinary contribution in the net income for the period.

In accordance with IAS 8, the consolidated financial statements were restated as of 30 September 2014, with the effects on the statement of financial position and income statement presented below:

c) Corporate restructuring:

The group is organised by segments, defined on the nature of the goods sold and services provided (Exploration & Production, Refining & Marketing of oil products, Gas & Power and Other). In order to obtain a more simplified structure, the Group has been clustering the businesses under the respective sub-holding.

In December 2014 Galp Energia Portugal Holding BV owned 100 % interest in the subsidiary Galp Exploração e Produção Petrolífera, S.A..

As part of the ongoing organisational restructuring of the group, and given the activity of the companies and the currency in which they carry out their operations, the Group considers that Galp Exploração e Produção Petrolífera, S.A. is more adequately positioned within the E&P segment. Thus, on 17 June 2015, Galp Energia Portugal Holding BV sold to Galp Energia E&P BV, 100% of the equity held in Galp Exploração e Produção Petrolífera, SGPS, SA and its respective subsidiaries:

The main inter-segmental transactions of sales and services rendered are primarily related to:

  • Gas & Power: natural gas sales for the production process of Matosinhos and Sines refineries (refining and marketing of oil products);
  • Refining & Marketing of oil products: supply of fuel to all Group company vehicles;
  • Exploration & Production: sales of crude to the Refining & Marketing of oil products segment; and
  • Other: back-office and management services.

The commercial and financial transactions between related parties are performed according to the usual market conditions similar to transactions performed with independent companies.

The assumptions underlying the determination of prices in transactions between Group companies rely on the consideration of the economic realities and characteristics of the situations in question, by comparing the characteristics of operations or companies that might have impact on the intrinsic conditions of the commercial transactions in analysis. In this context, analysis is carried out, among other, on the goods and services traded, the functions performed by the parties (including the assets used and risks assumed), the contractual terms, the economic situation of the parties as well as their negotiation strategies.

In conclusion, market prices are determined not only by analysing the functions performed, the assets used and the risks incurred by one entity, but also considering the contribution of those elements to the Company's profitability. This analysis assesses whether the profitability indicators of the companies involved fall within the estimated ranges on the basis of the assessment of a panel of functionally comparable independent companies, thus allowing the prices to be fixed in order to comply with the competition principle.

This reduction is explained by legislative amendment and the modifications in the action of Entidade Nacional para o Mercado de Combustíveis, E.P.E.

The subsidiary Petróleos de Portugal – Petrogal, SA has a contract with "Entidade Nacional para o Mercado de Combustíveis, E.P.E." (ENMC) for the storage and exchange of crude oil and for the storage of refined products to be considered on the national strategic reserves. ENMC's crude oil and refined products are stored in Petrogal's

installations, in a way that allows ENMC to audit them whenever it so wishes, in terms of quantity and quality. In accordance with the contract, Petrogal must, when required by ENMC, exchange the stored crude oil for refined products for an amount representing the refining margin as of the date of the exchange. Crude oil and refined products stored in the installations of Petróleos de Portugal – Petrogal, SA under this contract are not reflected in the Group financial statements.

Translation reserve:

The caption Translation reserve reflects the exchange rate fluctuations:

i) €182,218 k relating to positive exchange differences resulting from the translation of financial statements in foreign currency to Euros;

ii) €296,132 k relating to negative exchange differences on the financial allocations from Galp Exploração e Produção Petrolífera, S.A., Petróleos de Portugal - Petrogal, S.A., Galp Sinopec Brazil Services B.V., Petrogal Brazil, B.V. and Winland International Petroleum, SARL (W.I.P.) to Petrogal Brasil, S.A. (company with Brazilian Real as functional currency), in Euros and US Dollars, which are not remunerated and for which there is no intention of reimbursement, and as such are similar to share capital ("quasi capital"), thus integrating the net investment in that foreign operational unit in accordance with IAS 21.

iii) €3,676 k relating to positive exchange differences resulting from Goodwill translation.

Hedging reserves:

Hedging reserves reflects changes that have occurred in financial derivatives on interest rates that are contracted for hedging changes in interest rate loans (cash flow hedge) and their respective deferred taxes.

In the period ended 30 September 2015, the amount of € 3,348 k includes € 4,565 k from positive changes in fair value of financial derivatives - cash flow hedges and € 1,217 k related to the respective impact in deferred tax liability.

Other reserves:

Legal Reserves

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association and Commercial Law ("Código das Sociedades Comerciais - CSC"), the Company must transfer a minimum of 5% of its annual net income to a legal reserve until the reserve reaches 20% of share capital. The legal reserve cannot be distributed to the shareholders but may be, in certain circumstances, used to increase capital or to absorb losses after all the other reserves have been utilised. In 2015 the caption did not present any changes as the legal reserves have already reached 20% of share capital.

Special reserves

The amount of €443 k in the caption "Special reserves" includes €463 k relating to a deferred tax correction – revaluation of equity in the subsidiary Lisboagás GDL – Sociedade Distribuidora de Gás Natural de Lisboa, S.A. and the negative amount of €20 k relates to a donation to the subsidiary Gasinsular – Combustíveis do Atlântico, S.A.

Reserves – capital increases in Petrogal Brasil, S.A. and Galp Brasil Services, B.V.

On 28 March 2012 Winland International Petroleum SARL (WIP), a subsidiary of Tip Top Energy, SARL (Sinopec Group), subscribed and paid a capital increase in the amount of \$4,797,528 k in subsidiaries Petrogal Brasil, S.A. and Galp Sinopec Brazil Services, B.V. (previously denominated Galp Brazil Services, B.V.), obtaining 30% of the shares and voting rights of both subsidiaries.

With the capital increase operation, the Galp Energia Group kept the operational and financial control of the Companies. It now owns 70% of the capital and voting rights and continues, under IAS 27, to consolidate their assets through the full consolidation method. Thus the difference between the amount paid of the capital increase and the book value of equity at the date of the increase was recognised in equity under reserves by €2,493,088 k.

Reserves - increase of 11.097% in the capital of the subsidiary Lusitaniagás - Companhia de Gás do Centro, S.A

In July 2012, the Group acquired 10.7532% of the capital of the subsidiary Lusitaniagás – Companhia de Gás do Centro, S.A., which was previously controlled by the Group and consolidated using the full consolidation method. Thus the difference between the amount paid and the book value of the equity at the acquisition date, was recognised in equity under reserves by €1,935 k.

In May 2013, the Group acquired 0.3438% of the capital of the subsidiary Lusitaniagás – Companhia de Gás do Centro, S.A. to Revigrés – Indústria de Revestimentos de Grés, Lda. and recognised in equity reserves the amount of €92 k due to the difference between the amount paid and the book value.

Reserves – increase of 99% in the capital of subsidiary Enerfuel, S.A

In July 2013, under the terms of a contract signed in August 2012, the Group acquired 99% of the capital of Enerfuel, S.A. As the Group owned the control, the Company was already consolidated using the full consolidation method. Thus the difference between the amount paid and the book value of equity at the acquisition date, was recognised in equity under reserves by the amount €31 k.

Other risks and charges

As of 30 September 2015 the caption "Provisions – other risks and charges", amounting to €219,763 k, mainly comprises:

i) €4,561 k concerning processes related to sanctions applied by customs authorities due to the late submission of the customs destination declaration of some shipments received in Sines;

ii) €53,724 k relating to the provision to cover the Energy sector extraordinary contribution "CESE I":

For the year ended 31 December 2014, the Group was subject to a special tax (Energy Sector Extraordinary Contribution "CESE I"), pursuant to Article 228 of law 83C/2013 of 31 December, which states that the energy companies that detain assets in certain activities as of 1 January 2014 are subject to a tax calculated on the amount of net assets at that date.

As it is challenging the application of the law, the Group decided to record the total value of the liability in the amount of € 53,724 k under "Provisions" caption. The total value of the liability on 31 December 2014 amounted to € 24,512 k. In the period ended 30 September 2015, to cover the full responsibility, the provision was reinforced in the amount of € 29,228 k, recognised in the income statement under the caption "Energy sector extraordinary contribution" (Note 9) and in current caption "Other receivables - Deferred costs" (Note 14).

iii) €156,156 k relating to the provision to cover the Energy sector extraordinary contribution "CESE II":

In the period ended 30 September 2015, the Group was subject to a special tax (Energy Sector Extraordinary Contribution "CESE II"), pursuant to law 33/2015 of 27 April and Order No. 157 -B/2015 of 28 May, which focuses on the value of future sales, based on the four existing contracts which are on a take-or-pay basis. Resulting from the respective Law and Order, Galp recorded a total payable amount of € 156,156 k, which would be payable in instalments of € 52,052k in May 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

As it is challenging the law, the Group accounted for the total value of the liability in the amount of € 156,156 k under "Provisions" caption and the respective cost is being deferred under the caption "Other receivables - Deferred costs" along the useful life of the contracts. In the period ended 30 September 2015, the Group recognised in the income statement as Energy sector extraordinary contribution the amount of € 18,842 k (Note 9) and the current and non-current captions "Other receivables - Deferred costs" amounts to € 17,966 k and € 113,506 k, respectively (Note 14).

26. TRADE PAYABLES

Trade payables - invoices pending 409,149 571,868
903,028 898,047

The balance of the caption "Trade payables – invoices pending" mainly corresponds to the purchase of crude oil and natural gas raw materials and goods in transit at those dates.

27. OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES

The Group uses financial derivatives to hedge risks of variation in refining margins, as well as risks of variation in natural gas and electricity prices, which affect the value of assets and future cash flows resulting from its operations.

Financial derivatives are defined, in accordance with IAS/IFRS, as "financial assets at fair value through profit and loss" or "financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss". The interest rate financial derivatives that are contracted to hedge the variation in interest rates on borrowings and derivatives on commodities fixing the price of this commodity are designated as "cash flow hedges". Commodities financial derivatives that are contracted to hedge changes of fair value or other risks that might affect the profit and loss of the period of customer contracts are designated as "fair value hedges".

The fair value of financial derivatives was determined by financial entities, applying evaluation models (such as "discounted cash flows", Black-Scholes model, Binomial and Trinomial models and Monte-Carlo simulations, among other models depending on the type and characteristics of the financial derivative under analysis) based on generally accepted principles.

In accordance with IFRS 13 an entity must classify the fair value measurement, based on a fair value hierarchy that reflects the meaning of the inputs used in measurement. The fair value hierarchy must have the following levels:

  • Level 1 the fair value of assets or liabilities is based on active liquid market quotation at the date of the statement of financial position;
  • Level 2 the fair value of assets or liabilities is determined through valuation models based on observable market inputs;
  • Level 3 the fair value of assets or liabilities is determined through valuation models, whose main inputs are not observable in the market.

The fair value of booked financial derivatives (Swaps, Forwards) was determined by financial entities using observable market inputs and using generally accepted techniques and models (Level 2). Futures are traded in the stock exchange and subject to a Clearing House, and as such their valuation is determined by quoted prices (Level 1).

Derivative financial instruments portfolio as of 30 September 2015 and 31 December 2014 are detailed as follows:

Taking in consideration that the amount of financial liability with financial derivatives (MTM) continued negative and in the same amount of €29,332 k, the amount of €23,000 k will be paid in one year, while €5,785 k is to be paid until the end of 2016 and €547 k until 2017.

Galp Energia Group has commodities financial derivatives recognised as fair value hedge (fair value hedge and cashflow hedge). These financial derivatives have been contracted for the mitigation of risks associated with contracts signed with customers. Therefore, the positive amount of €1,106 k was recognised in the income statement, under the MTM (Mark-to-market) caption, and in Accruals and Deferrals, relating to fair value hedge. In Equity, the positive amount of €5,407 k was recognised under the caption Hedging reserves, relating to cash-flow hedge.

Galp Energia Group trades financial instruments denominated as futures. Given their high liquidity, as they are traded in stock exchange, they are classified as financial assets at fair value through the profit and loss and included in "Cash and cash equivalents" caption. The gains and losses on commodity futures (Brent and electricity) are classified in caption "Cost of sales". Changes in the fair value of open positions are recorded in financial results. As futures are traded in the stock exchange, subject to a Clearing House, gains and losses are continuously recorded in the income statement.

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, adjusted profit excludes 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.
