1.Executive summary

Main operating highlights during the first nine months of 2016

  • The Group's consolidated Ebitda decreased 17% year-on-year (YoY) to 1,015 m, on a replacement cost adjusted (RCA) given the lower contribution from all business segments: Exploration & Production (E&P), Refining & Marketing (R&M) and Gas & Power (G&P). These were impacted, respectively, by lower prices of oil and natural gas, lower refining margins on the international market and by the decrease in volumes sold of natural gas.
  • RCA net income reached €361 m, a €129 m decrease YoY, considering an inventory effect of €47 m and €215 m in non-recurring items. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) net income was €99 m.
  • Working interest production of oil and natural gas increased 41% YoY to 61.7 kboepd, mostly on the back of higher production from Brazil, namely of increased production in the Iracema North and Iracema South areas and the start of operations in the Lula Alto and Lula Central areas.
  • Galp's refining margin stood at \$4.0/boe, compared to \$6.6/boe in the first nine months of 2015. The marketing of oil products activity maintained its positive contribution to results.
  • Natural gas sales decreased 13% to 5,203 million cubic metres (mm³), driven by a 21% decrease in volumes in the trading segment.
  • Capital expenditure amounted to €874 m, of which 88% was allocated to the E&P business, mainly to the development of block BM-S-11 in Brazil and block 32 in Angola.
  • Net debt amounted to €1.6 bn at the end of September, considering Galp Gás Natural Distribuição, S.A. (GGND) assets and liabilities as held for sale and the loan to Sinopec as cash and equivalents, with a net debt to Ebitda ratio of 1.4x.
  • In September 2016, GGND issued notes on the amount of €600 m and repaid the €568 m shareholder loan to Galp. On October 27, Galp completed the sale of 22.5% of GGND to Meet Europe Natural Gas, Lda. (Meet Europe), owned by Marubeni Corporation (50%) and by Toho Gas Co., Ltd. (50%), with the equity price set at €141 m, based on the initially agreed price plus adjustments as established in the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA). Effective from this date, GGND ceases to be consolidated into the Group accounts.

3.Market environment

Dated Brent

During the first nine months of 2016, dated Brent averaged \$41.9/bbl, corresponding to a decrease of \$13.4/bbl YoY. This decrease resulted from the unbalanced supply and demand, leading to larger crude oil inventories on a global scale.

The Urals – dated Brent spread widened \$1.1/bbl YoY, to \$2.2/bbl. This spread resulted from the increased production of crude oil by Russia, aggravated by a higher supply of competing crudes from the Middle East to the Mediterranean region.

Natural gas

During the first nine months of 2016, the natural gas price in Europe (NBP) averaged \$4.3/mmbtu, corresponding to a decrease of \$2.1/mmbtu YoY. The decline was a result of the lower oil price, as many natural gas contracts are oil-linked.

The Asian liquefied natural gas reference price (JKM) averaged \$5.2/mmbtu, corresponding to a decrease of \$2.3/mmbtu YoY.

Refining margin

During the first nine months of 2016, the benchmark refining margin was \$2.8/bbl, down \$2.7/bbl YoY, as the gasoline and diesel crack spreads dropped \$5.6/bbl and \$7.1/bbl YoY, respectively, pressured mainly by large inventories throughout the period.

Iberian market

During the first nine months of 2016, the Iberian market for oil products rose to 46.2 mton, from 45.0 mton, YoY led by the rise in tourism, which resulted in higher demand for diesel and jet fuel.

The Iberian natural gas market decreased 1.4% YoY to 22,809 mm³ in the first nine months of 2016, mostly due to the lower demand from the electrical segment.

4. Exploration & Production

4.1. Development activities

Brazil

During the first nine months of 2016, Galp and its partners continued with the development works on the Lula/Iracema field. It is worth noting the operational efficiency achieved by the consortium in drilling and completion performance, as well as in the units' ramp-up, which has resulted in a continuous decrease of these activities' average duration.

FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis (#1) and FPSO Cidade de Paraty (#2) resumed their plateau production in the Lula Pilot and Lula Northeast areas, following the completion of the maintenance works that took place during the second quarter.

In the Iracema South area, FPSO Cidade de Mangaratiba (#3) continued producing at plateau levels, with six producer and five injector wells currently connected to this unit. The connection to the gas export network, expected during the fourth quarter of 2016, will allow for a greater operational flexibility and the marketing of natural gas associated with oil production.

FPSO Cidade de Itaguaí (#4), in the Iracema North area was connected to the gas export network during August, which enabled the unit to reach plateau production only 13 months after first oil.

FPSO Cidade de Maricá (#5), allocated to the Lula Alto area, initiated production in February and has been benefitting from excellent productivity, with a fourth producer well connected during August.

FPSO Cidade de Saquarema (#6), allocated to the Lula Central area, started production in July, as planned. The development plan for this area includes the connection of nine producer and nine injector wells. This FPSO produced an average of c.30 kbpd since it started operating, through one producer well. It is worth highlighting that, already during October, FPSO #6 reached a production of c.80 kbpd, following the connection of two additional producer wells.

Regarding the replicant FPSO units, the unit allocated to the Lula South area is at the Brasfels shipyard (Brazil), where the integration works are being finalized, with the CO2 and gas compression and injection modules reaching their final stage of integration. The second replicant FPSO, to be allocated to the Lula North area, is at the COOEC shipyard (China), where the topside modules' integration works are ongoing.

Note: As at October 27, 2016.

Mozambique

Regarding the offshore Coral South project in Area 4, it is worth highlighting the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement of the LNG with BP. The contract guarantees the sale of LNG volumes for a period of 20 years, based on the production from the Coral South area, although it is conditional on a final investment decision (FID). Meanwhile, the consortium is finalising the remaining commercial agreements and negotiating the project finance for the project.

Regarding the Mamba onshore project, EPC proposals continue to be analysed for the upstream and midstream solutions.

Angola

In block 32, the drilling and completion campaign of the wells regarding the Kaombo development area is proceeding. The two FPSO units are being converted at the Sembawang shipyards, in Singapore.

4Includes abandonment provisions.

Operations

During the first nine months of 2016, working interest production increased 41% YoY to 61.7 kboepd, which was mainly due to the start-up of units #4, #5 and #6, as well as to increased production at FPSO #3 in Brazil.

Natural gas exports increased 0.6 kboepd YoY to 3.9 kboepd, following the connection of FPSO #4 to the gas export infrastructure. Out of the total gas exported, 3.4 kboepd was from the Lula/Iracema area.

During the first nine months of 2016, net entitlement production increased 44% YoY to 59.2 kboepd, as a result of higher working interest production.

Results

RCA Ebitda for the first nine months of 2016 dropped €40 m YoY to €262 m, following the decrease in the average sale price, and despite the increase in net entitlement production.

Production costs increased €29 m YoY to €125 m, as a result of the higher number of operating units in Brazil. In unit terms, production costs decreased YoY to \$8.6/boe during the period, benefiting from a higher production dilution effect.

Depreciation charges during the first nine months of 2016 (including abandonment provisions) increased around €44 m YoY to €215 m, following the increased asset base in Brazil. On a net entitlement basis, unit depreciation charges were \$14.7/boe, compared to \$16.9/boe YoY.

RCA Ebit was €48 m in the period, or €84 m lower YoY, while IFRS Ebit was negative by

€75 m. Non-recurring items of €123 m included the impairment in block 14/14K during the second quarter, after the decision of reducing drilling activities, as well as an impairment in the third quarter related to a project in the Brazilian onshore.

During the first nine months of 2016, the contribution of associated companies related to the E&P business reached €13 m.

2Impact on Ebitda.

Operations

Raw materials processed during the first nine months of 2016 stood at 80.9 million barrels (mmboe), down 6% YoY. That decrease reflects the planned outage of the hydrocracker at the Sines refinery and of units in the Matosinhos refinery during the first half of 2016. Crude oil accounted for 91% of raw materials processed, of which 83% corresponded to medium and heavy crudes.

Gasoline production accounted for 23% of production, while middle distillates accounted for 46% of total production. Consumption and losses accounted for 7% of raw materials processed.

Volumes sold to direct clients stood at 6.7 mton, down 4% YoY, following the reduced sales to lower margin clients. Volumes sold in Africa accounted for 8% of total volumes sold to direct clients.

Results

RCA Ebitda for the R&M business during the first nine months of 2016 decreased €142 m YoY to €471 m, impacted by the lower contribution from the refining activity.

Galp's refining margin was \$4.0/boe, compared to \$6.6/boe in the previous year, which reflects the lower refining margins in the international markets. The spread over the benchmark margin amounted to \$1.2/boe.

Refining cash costs increased €4 m to €125 m, due to higher maintenance costs during 2016, namely in the hydrocracker in the Sines refinery. In unit terms, cash costs stood at \$1.7/boe.

Hedging operations had a positive impact of €8 m in Ebitda during the period.

Marketing of oil products was in line YoY, despite the impact of a drop in volumes sold compared to the previous year.

Amortisations and provisions amounted to €215 m, up €3 m YoY.

Ebit RCA fell to €256 m, while Ebit IFRS increased €14 m to €171 m in the period. Inventory effect was positive €56 m and non-recurring items amounted to €29 m and were mainly related to impairments on refining equipment and restructuring charges.

Operations

Sales of natural gas in the first nine months of 2016 totalled 5,203 mm³, down 13% YoY.

Volumes sold in the trading segment decreased 21%, reflecting fewer opportunities in the international markets. During the first nine months of 2016, 20 LNG trading operations were carried out, seven less than during the previous year.

Volumes sold to direct clients also dropped, by 4%, with lower volumes sold to the conventional segment.

Sales of electricity increased 252 GWh YoY to 3,718 GWh, mainly due to the increased marketing of electricity.

Results

Ebitda for the G&P segment decreased €32 m to €260 m during the first nine months of 2016, mainly due to lower results from the natural gas activity.

Ebitda for the natural gas segment decreased 17% YoY to €159 m, due to lower volumes sold.

The contribution to results of the regulated infrastructure business was €91 m, down €7 m YoY, reflecting the lower remuneration rate effective from July 1, 2016.

Ebitda for the power business normalised from the previous year level, and increased €6 m YoY to €9 m.

DD&A and provisions in the G&P business segment stood at €49 m, in line with the previous year.

Ebit RCA decreased €28 m YoY to €211 m, and was impacted by a positive €6 m inventory effect and non-recurring items of -€3 m. Ebit IFRS reached €208 m, compared to €217 m the previous year.

Results from associated companies related to the G&P business maintained their €50 m contribution to results during the period.

1Includes the Special Participation tax payable in Brazil and IRP payable in Angola.

During the first nine months of 2016, turnover decreased 21% YoY to €9,595 m. This was mainly due to the decrease in the prices of oil, natural gas and oil products in the international markets.

Operating costs went down 21% YoY to €8,580 m, mainly following a 24% fall in the cost of goods sold. The costs of external supplies and services increased by 4%, on the back of higher production in Brazil. Staff costs fell 4% YoY.

RCA Ebitda was €1,015 m, down 17% YoY, after a lower contribution from all business segments. IFRS Ebitda fell by €54 m YoY to €922 m.

RCA Ebit decreased 33% to €534 m, while IFRS Ebit fell €119 m to €322 m.

Results of associated companies accounted for €61 m, in line YoY.

Financial income was positive by €3 m, compared to a loss of €68 m in the same period of 2015, essentially due to a gain of €31 m in mark-to-market operations, mainly related to refining margin hedging, which compares to a loss of €18 m during the previous year.

Net interest expenses improved by €15 m YoY, to €79 m.

RCA taxes decreased €46 m to €201 m, due to lower results. Taxes on oil and gas production totalled €49 m.

Non-controlling interests, primarily attributable to Sinopec, fell €12 m to €34 m, following the lower results generated in Brazil.

RCA net income was €361 m, down €129 m YoY, while IFRS net income was €99 m.

The inventory effect was €47 m and non-recurring items reached €215 m, including the impairments registered in the E&P segment, an impairment regarding assets related to the biofuels business, as well as the Portuguese Extraordinary Energy Sector Contribution (CESE), which affects the R&M and G&P businesses.

The CESE had a negative impact on IFRS results of around €48 m, of which €28 m related to CESE I, whose annual impact was fully accounted for in the first quarter of the year. CESE II amounted to c.€20 m. This provision related with 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.

1Net Debt at 30 September 2016 excludes net debt of GGND (€599 m). 2Net debt at 30 September 2016 of €1,631 m adjusted for the €575 m loan to Sinopec. 3 Includes net debt of GGND, ie, considers Group net debt of €2,805 m as at the end of September. 4 As at 30 September 2016, ratio considers net debt including loan to Sinopec as cash (€575 m), plus Sinopec MLT Shareholder Loan to Petrogal Brasil (€169 m) and LTM Ebitda RCA €1,297 m.

On September 30, 2016, net debt stood at €2,205 m, down €216 m compared to the end of December 2015. This amount does not include net debt related to GGND (held for sale) of

€599 m. It should be noted that GGND repaid the shareholder loan of €568 m to Galp during September.

Considering the €575 m balance of the Sinopec loan as cash and equivalents, net debt at the end of the period totalled €1,631 m, resulting in a net debt to Ebitda ratio of 1.4x. This ratio also considers Sinopec's €169 m shareholder loan to Petrogal Brasil as of the end of the period.

The average interest rate was 3.48% during the period.

At the end of September, 51% of total debt was on a fixed-rate basis. Debt had an average maturity of 3.15 years, and medium and longterm debt accounted for 78% of the total.

As of September 30, 2016, around 65% of total debt was scheduled to mature from 2019 onwards, considering debt from subsidiary GGND, which at that date was still consolidated (albeit booked under assets held for sale).

It should be noted that a €455 m bond, maturing in 2017, has been called by Galp and will be redeemed on November 21, 2016. This change was reflected on the debt maturity profile graph below.

At the end of the first nine months of 2016, Galp had unused credit lines of approximately €1.2 bn. Of this amount, around 60% was contractually guaranteed.

8.Subsequent events

On October 27, Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. (Galp), through its subsidiary Galp Gas & Power, SGPS, S.A. (GGP), completed the sale of 22.5% of GGND to Meet Europe, owned by Marubeni Corporation (50%) and by Toho Gas Co., Ltd. (50%). The closing price was set at €141 m, based on the initially agreed price plus adjustments, as established in the SPA. Considering that GGND repaid the shareholder loan of €568 m to Galp during September, total cash proceeds from this transaction stood at €709 m.

GGND will now cease to be consolidated into the Group accounts, and as such its contribution will start to be accounted for as income from associates, based on the equity method.

9.Basis of presentation

Galp's consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended on 30 September 2016 and 2015 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 2016 and 2015. The financial information in the consolidated financial position is reported on 30 September 2016 and 31 December 2015.

Galp's financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, and the cost of goods sold is valued at weighted-average cost (WAC). 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 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

Effective on 1 January 2016, exchange rate differences from operating activities are allocated to operating results of the respective business segment. Until the end of 2015, these exchange rate differences were accounted for under financial results.

Following an accounting interpretation from Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM) regarding the accounting treatment for CESE I, Galp started to recognise the full year cost and liability as of 1 January, instead of deferring the cost along the year.

Regarding the energy sector contribution in Spain, to the Fondo Nacional de Eficiencia Energética, the impact was also fully accounted for during the first quarter of 2016.

These changes were applied to 2015 figures in order to make periods comparable.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 30 september 2016

1. Introduction

a) Parent Company:

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 its corporate business is the management of equity participations in other companies.

The Company shareholder structure as of 30 September 2016 is stated in Note 19.

The Company is listed on the Euronext Lisbon stock exchange.

b) The Group:

As of 30 September 2016 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 refining of crude oil and distribution of its derivatives sector; (ii) Galp Gas & 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. and its subsidiaries integrating the Oil and Gas Exploration & Production activities and biofuels and (iv) Galp Energia, S.A. which integrates the corporate support services.

b1) Upstream activities

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

b2) Midstream and Downstream activities

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

b3) Natural gas activity and energy production and supply

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

Galp group natural gas business encompasses a set of regulated and liberalised activities, including the sourcing in a liberalised regime, the operation of infrastructure in a regulated regime and supply to final customers in the Iberia Peninsula in liberalised and regulated regime.

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

The sourcing and supply of natural gas segment supplies natural gas to large industrial customers, with annual consumption of more than 2 mm3 , 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 sourcing contracts with companies in Algeria and Nigeria.

The natural gas distribution and supply activity in Portugal includes the natural gas distribution and supply companies. Its purpose is to sell natural gas to those residential, commercial and industrial customers with annual consumptions of less than 2 mm 3 .

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. At the end of the concession 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 at that date, net of depreciation, financial co-participation and Government grants.

Under the terms covered by the sectorial regulations applicable in Portugal, approved by the respective regulator ("ERSE" - www.erse.pt), described in the respective regulations in more detail, there are:

Distribution Network Operators:

  • Access to the Natural Gas National Transportation Network and the Natural Gas National Distribution Network activities developed by the distribution network operators.
  • Natural gas distribution activity exercised by the distribution network operators.

Last resort wholesale retailer

Natural Gas purchase and sale activity in connection to the management of the long-term sourcing contracts in the Take or Pay (ToP) scheme signed prior to the publication of Directive 2003/55/ EC of 26 June, exercised by the Natural Gas National System (NGNS) supplier.

To cover the planned natural gas requirements in Portugal, a natural gas purchase contract of 2.3 bcm was signed, for a period of 23 years, with Sonatrach, a Company owned by the Algerian State. The commencement of this contract and the first deliveries of natural gas started in January 1997, simultaneously with the connection of the Europe - Maghreb gas pipeline to the transport and distribution network in Portugal.

Additionally, three contracts were signed for a period of 20 years, with NLNG, a Nigerian Company, to acquire a total of 3.5 bcm of LNG. The supply under these contracts started in 2000, 2003 and 2006, respectively.

Natural Gas and LNG acquisition contracts:

Quantity Period Initial
Contracts Country (mm3/year) (years) year
NLNG I Nigeria 420 20 2000
NLNG II Nigeria 1,000 20 2003
NLNG + Nigeria 2,000 20 2006
Sonatrach Algeria 2,300 23 1997

The purchase price of natural gas under long-term purchase agreements is generally calculated according to a set price formula based on the price of alternative fuels, as the benchmark price of crude oil and other elements, including inflation and exchange rates. Typically, the price formula of these contracts foresees the periodic adjustment based on variations of the chosen benchmark.

Usually the long-term natural gas purchase contracts define a minimum annual quantity to acquire and a flexible margin for each year. These contracts usually establish an obligation to take or pay, which obliges the purchase of the agreed quantities of natural gas, regardless of the respective need that may or not occur. These contracts allow the transfer of quantities from one year to another within certain limits, if demand is lower than the established minimum annual levels.

When Galp's capital was listed on the stock exchange, an analysis of these contracts was performed in order to detect any embedded derivatives, namely contractual clauses that could be considered as financial derivatives. Joint analysis carried out by external consultants and the Group, did not detect financial derivatives that should be recognised at fair value, since the characteristics of these contracts are intrinsic to the gas activity.

When embedded derivatives are noted in other financial instruments or other contracts, they are treated as separately recognised derivatives in situations where the risks and characteristics are not closely related to contracts and in situations where the contract is not stated at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recorded in the income statement.

Although the maturity of the contracts is of more than 20 years, long-term sourcing contracts provide for the possibility of renegotiation over the term of the contract in accordance with contractually defined rules.

  • The natural gas purchase and sale activity for supply to the last resort, developed by the last resort wholesaler, includes the following functions:
  • Natural gas purchase and sale function, resulting from the acquisition of natural gas, directly or through auctions, under long-term sourcing contracts, of the supplier of natural gas national system;
  • Natural gas purchase and sale function in organized markets or through bilateral contracts (not applicable in Galp for the period under review).

Commercialisation of last resort retailers

  • The natural gas supply activity, exercised by the last resort retailers, includes the following functions:
  • Natural gas purchase and sale;
  • Purchase and sale of the access to the Natural Gas National Transportation Network and Natural Gas National Distribution Network;
  • Natural gas supply.

The Group Power business includes the generation of energy through the portfolio of cogeneration plants in Portugal and the supply of electricity to end customers. This business proves to be complementary to the natural gas business, by means of natural gas auto consumptions in cogeneration plants and combined electricity and gas supply.

The activity of the Power sub- segment currently consists of operating cogeneration plants and wind power.

Geographic markets for developed activities are as follows:

  • Natural gas sourcing;
  • Natural gas distribution: Portugal;
  • Natural gas and electricity sale: Portugal and Spain;
  • Electricity production: Portugal.

2. Significant accounting policies

Galp consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, at historical cost except for financial derivative instruments which are stated at fair value, on the accounting records of the companies included in the consolidation maintained in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, effective for the economic exercise beginning in 1 January 2016. These standards include International Financial Reporting Standards (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 Standing Interpretation Committee ("SIC") and International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee ("IFRIC"). 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 were used that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the amounts of income and costs of the reporting period. 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 income and Other operating costs.

As of 30 September 2016 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 2015.

For a detailed description of the accounting policies adopted by Galp refer to the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of 31 December 2015.

2.1. Changes in accounting policies

The Company decided to change its accounting policy regarding the presentation of exchange differences in the income statement arising from Other receivables balances in foreign currency (trade receivables and other receivables) and Other accounts payable balances in foreign currency (trade payables and other payables). Such exchange differences were presented in the Financial Income, along with other exchange differences generated during the financial year. Thus, from 2016 exchange differences generated on Other accounts receivable foreign currency balances and Other payable foreign currency balances referred above will be presented in the same operational nature income statement caption where the income and losses associated with these transactions are reflected. The Company believes that this change in accounting policy follows the recommendations of IAS 8§14 par. b) and better reflects the operational and financial events of the Group. As such, and in accordance with the standard IAS8§19 par. b), the Company retrospectively reflected the impact on their corresponding figures.

In addition, the Group reclassified €63,163 k that were recorded under the caption "External Supplies and services – Transport of goods" to the caption "Cost of sales". The Company believes that this reclassification better reflects the nature of the operation as it is related with charges incurred for the purchase of raw materials.

The consolidated financial statements were restated as of 30 September 2015, with the effects on the income statement presented below:

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);
  • Refining & Marketing: supply of fuel to all Group company vehicles;
  • Exploration & Production: sales of crude oil to the Refining & Marketing 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 between 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, in other words, from comparing the characteristics of operations or companies that might have an impact on the intrinsic conditions of the commercial transactions in analysis. In this context are analysed, amongst others, 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 a related party's context the remuneration thus corresponds to what is considered appropriate, as a rule, to the functions performed by each participant company, taking into account the assets used and risks assumed. Thus, in order to determine the level of remuneration, the activities and risks taken by companies within the chain value of goods/services transacted are identified according to their functional profile, particularly with regard to the functions that they perform - import, manufacturing, distribution and retail.

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

As of June 2016, Galp performed an evaluation on the discount rate applicable to liabilities for retirement benefits and other benefits, having decided to maintain the discount rate used as of December 2015. This decision is mainly driven by the uncertainty installed in the financial markets, as a consequence of the United Kingdom decision to exit the European Union and the debt issuance made in June by the Central European Bank. Galp will reassess this situation at year end, evaluating the need to make any adjustment considering the performance of the reference rates.

The caption "Advances on sales" amounting to €30,277 k is related with Group liabilities with competitors for strategic reserves (Note 16).

The non-current caption "Tangible and intangible assets suppliers" refers essentially to land use rights.

The amount of €18,434 k presented in the caption "Other payables - Overlifting" represents the Group's liability in respect of excess crude oil lifted considering its production quota and is measured as described in Note 2.7 e) of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.

The amount of €5,046 k recorded in the caption "ISP – Congeners Debit" is related to the fact that the bonded warehouse is confined to Galp. Therefore, it is Galp's responsibility to collect the "ISP" (tax on petroleum products) from counterparties (partners/competitors) and to deliver it over to the State.

The amount of €2,657 k recorded in the caption "Guarantee deposits and guarantees received" includes €2,130 k relating to Petrogal's liability as of 30 September 2016 for customer deposits received for gas containers in use, that were recorded at acquisition cost, which corresponds to their approximate fair value.

The amount of €168,599 k recorded in the caption "Loans – associates, affiliates and related companies" refers to the following:

Other risks and charges

As at 30 September 2016 the caption "Provisions – other risks and charges", amounting to €222,141 k, mainly comprises:

  • €4,561 k concerning processes related to sanctions applied by customs authorities due to the late submission of the customs destination declaration of some cargo shipments received in Sines;
  • €51,876 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 net assets in certain activities as at 1 January 2014 are subject to a tax calculated on the amount of net assets at that date.

As it intends to challenge the Law, the Group decided to record the total value of the liability amounting to €80,963 k under the "Provisions" caption, having reflected the amount of €29,087 k in the caption "Assets held for sale". The total value of the liability on 31 December 2015 amounted to €53,027 k. In the period ended 30 September 2016, the provision was reinforced by €27,936 k (Note 9), and recognised in the income statement under the caption "Energy sector extraordinary contribution";

€160,738 k relating to the provision to cover the Energy sector extraordinary contribution "CESE II":

In the period ended 31 December 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 long term sourcing 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 will be settled in instalments of €52,052 k in May of each of the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, and accrued the amount of €4,582 k related to interests.

As it intends to challenge the Law and Regulation, Galp group has accounted for the total value of the liability amounting to €160,738 k under the "Provisions" caption and the respective cost is being deferred under the caption "Other receivables - Deferred costs" over the useful life of the contracts. In the period ended 30 September 2016, the Group recognised in the income statement under the caption Energy sector extraordinary contribution the amount of €20,446 k (Note 9) and the current and non-current captions "Other receivables - Deferred costs" amount to €22,147 k and €91,358 k, respectively (Note 14).

In the period ended 30 September 2016 the amount of €12,000 k (Note 9) was also paid and recognised in the income statement under the caption Energy sector extraordinary contribution, relating to the National Fund for Energetic Efficiency ("Fondo Nacional de Eficiência Energética (FNEE)"), in relation to the Group companies headquartered in Spain.

  • €1,844 k to cover the impairment of the assets of the affiliate Moçamgalp Agroenergias de Moçambique, S.A.; and
  • €2,153 k to cover charges received for the year 2012 made by the Lisbon Port Administration, for the use of the Cabo Ruivo land occupation as claimed by the Company, which was reclassified to the caption "Assets held for sale".

26. Trade payables

As of 30 September 2016 and 31 December 2015 the amounts recorded in the caption "Trade payables" were as follows:

( € k )
Captions September 2016 December 2015
Trade payables - current accounts 281,941 367,891
Trade payables - pending invoices 347,267 288,455
629,208 656,346

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

27. Other financial instruments – financial derivatives

The Group uses financial derivatives to hedge interest rate risk, market fluctuation risks, particularly the risks of variation in crude oil prices, finished products and refining margins, as well as price variation risk of natural gas and electricity which affect the financial value of the assets and the future cash flows expected from its activities.

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". Financial derivatives on commodities that are contracted to hedge the fair value variability or to address any risks that may affect the results of customer contracts of exercise are termed as "fair value hedge". On the other hand, financial derivatives on commodities that are contracted to hedge cash flow of customer contracts are termed as "cash flow hedges".

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 financial derivatives was determined by external and independent 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.

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).

The fair value of the remaining financial derivatives (Swaps, Forwards and Options) booked were determined by financial entities using observable market inputs and using generally accepted techniques and models (Level 2).

Derivative financial instruments portfolio as of 30 September 2016 and 31 December 2015 are detailed as follows:

The MTM (Mark-to-Market) of the derivative financial liabilities amounts to €5,759 k. Of this amount, €5,428 k are classified as current liabilities and will be realised over one year. The amount presented in non-current liabilities, amounting to €331 k will be realised over the period of two years (meaning, in 2018).

Galp group has financial derivatives over commodities recognised as fair value hedge (fair value hedge and cash-flow hedge). These financial derivatives have been contracted for the reduction of risks associated with contracts signed with customers and suppliers. Accordingly, until the third quarter of 2016 was recorded in the income statement, under the MTM (Mark-to-market) caption and in Accruals and Deferrals captions the negative amount of €9,182 k, related to the fair value hedge and in Equity, under the caption Hedging reserves, the negative amount of €637 k relating to cash-flow hedge.

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

34. Financial assets and liabilities at the book value and fair value

The captions "Financial assets" and "Financial liabilities" are recorded at carrying value and do not present differences to their fair value, with the exception of the bonds. The fair value of the bonds was measured based on observable market inputs, thus the classification of the fair value hierarchy was Level 2.

35. Information on environment matters

Cost incurred with CO2 emissions measured at the respective acquisition costs, is accounted for in Operating costs and amounts to €3,186 k as of September 2016.

Since Galp holds in its portfolio sufficient licenses to address the obligations arising from CO2 emissions, no provisions were recognised to fill any existing deficits.

No other significant changes noted until the third quarter of the year.

For more information on environmental matters see the notes to the financial statements as of 31 December 2015.

36. Subsequent events

Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. pursuant to the applicable terms and conditions, has exercised the call option with respect to the total outstanding amount of the notes representing the bond issue EUR 455,000,000.00 Floating Rate Notes Due 2017 (CVM Code: GALKOM).

The redemption of the referred notes will be made at principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, and will occur on 21 November 2016, payment day of current Interest Period, followed by the cancellation of such notes.

On 27 October 2016, Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. (Galp), through its subsidiary Galp Gas & Power, SGPS, S.A. has completed the sale of 22.5% of Galp Gás Natural Distribuição, S.A. (GGND) to Meet Europe, owned by Marubeni Corporation (50%) and by Toho Gas Co., Ltd. (50%). The final consideration amounted to €141 m, based on the initial consideration agreed increased by the adjustments established in the SPA. Taking into consideration that GGND proceeded, in September, to the reimbursement of the shareholder loan granted by Galp in the amount of €568 m, the total cash inflow from this transaction amounted to €709 m.

GGND will now cease to fully consolidate on the Group' financial statements, and therefore its contribution will be presented in the caption "Income from financial investments", based on the equity method.

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 ajustado (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. Forward-looking statements may include statements regarding: objectives, goals, strategies, outlook and growth prospects; future plans, events or performance and potential for future growth; liquidity, capital resources and capital expenditures; economic outlook and industry trends; energy demand and supply; developments of Galp's markets; the impact of regulatory initiatives; and the strength of Galp's competitors.

The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties. Although Galp believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond its control. No assurance, however, can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that may lead to significant differences between the actual results and the statements of expectations about future events or results include the Company's business strategy, industry developments, financial market conditions, uncertainty of the results of future projects and operations, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, among others. Such risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors could cause the actual results of Galp or the industry to differ materially from those results expressed or implied in this report by such forward-looking statements.

Real future income, both financial and operating; an increase in demand and change to the energy mix; an increase in production and changes to Galp's portfolio; the amount and various costs of capital, future distributions; increased resources and recoveries; project plans, timing, costs and capacities; efficiency gains; cost reductions; integration benefits; ranges and sale of products; production rates; and the impact of technology can differ substantially due to a number of factors. These factors may include changes in oil or gas prices or other market conditions affecting the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries; reservoir performance; timely completion of development projects; war and other political or security disturbances; changes in law or government regulation, including environmental regulations and political sanctions; the outcome of commercial negotiations; the actions of competitors and customers; unexpected technological developments; general economic conditions, including the occurrence and duration of economic recessions; unforeseen technical difficulties; and other factors.

The information, opinions and forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as at the date of this report, and are subject to change without notice. Galp and its respective representatives, agents, employees or advisors do not intend to, and expressly disclaim any duty, undertaking or obligation to, make or disseminate any supplement, amendment, update or revision to any of the information, opinions or forward-looking statements contained in this report to reflect any change in events, conditions or circumstances.
