These business plans and budgets will evolve over time to reflect its progress towards the 2050 Net Zero Emissions target. All statements other than statements of historical facts are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements express future expectations that are based on management's expectations and assumptions as of the date they are disclosed and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such those statements. Accordingly, neither Galp nor any other person can assure that its future results, performance or events will meet those expectations, nor assume any responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Galp to market risks and statements expressing management's expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections, and assumptions.

Financial information by business segment is reported in accordance with the Galp's management reporting policies and shows internal segment information that is used to manage and measure the Group's performance. In addition to IFRS measures, certain alternative performance measures are presented, such as performance measures adjusted for special items (adjusted operational cash flow, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes, and adjusted net income), return on equity (ROE), return on average capital employed (ROACE), investment return rate (IRR), equity investment return rate (eIRR), gearing ratio, cash flow from operations and free cash flow. These indicators are meant to facilitate the analysis of the financial performance of Galp and comparison of results and cash flow among periods. In addition, the results are also measured in accordance with the replacement cost method, adjusted for special items. This method is used to assess the performance of each business segment and facilitate the comparability of the segments' performance with those of its competitors. This document also contains non-financial performance indicators, according to applicable legislation, including a carbon intensity indicator for energy products sold by Galp, that measures the amount of greenhouse gas emissions of those products, from their production to their end use, per unit of energy delivered. This indicator covers the direct GHG emissions of production and processing facilities (scope 1) and their indirect emissions associated with energy purchased (scope 2), as well as the emissions associated with the use of products by Galp's costumers (scope 3). The same emissions are considered for products purchased from third parties and sold or transformed by Galp. For a complete definition of scopes 1, 2 and 3 and the methodology used by Galp for this indicator please refer to Galp's website at galp.com.

FOURTH QUARTER & FULL YEAR 2021 RESULTS FEBRUARY 2022
Galp's RCA Ebitda reached €644 m, 57% higher YoY, driven by the strong Upstream performance, more than offsetting the lower contribution from the downstream activities:
RCA net income was €130 m. IFRS net income was €106 m, with an inventory effect of €65 m and special items of -€89 m, which include mark-to-market swings from derivatives and impairments related to the Porto cogeneration discontinuity.
Adjusted operating cash flow (OCF) increased 26% YoY to €470 m. CFFO was €61 m, reflecting a working capital build, caused by the higher commodities' prices and refining restrictions, as well as temporary increase in derivatives margin accounts of €161 m.
FCF was negative at -€236 m, with net debt increasing to €2,357 m, also after dividends paid to minorities of €120 m. Net debt to RCA Ebitda was 1.1x at the end of the period, or 0.8x excluding the non-recurrent temporary working capital effects related with margin accounts.
Galp's RCA Ebitda was €2,322 m, 48% higher YoY, whilst OCF increased 49% YoY to €1,852 m, supported by strong Upstream results.
Group CFFO was €1,052 m, reflecting a working capital build during 2H21, which includes a temporary €605 m increase in hedging margin accounts to de-risk gas sourcing and supply prices, expected to be reversed during 2022.
Capex totalled €936 m, with Upstream accounting for 66% of total investments, whilst the downstream activities represented 17% and Renewables & New Businesses 15%. Net capex was €552 m, considering the proceeds from divestments, most notably the stake sale in Galp Gás Natural Distribuição (GGND) during 1H21.
FCF was €397 m and net debt increased to €2,357 m, also considering dividends paid to shareholders of €498 m and to minorities of €198 m, as well as other adjustments. Net debt to RCA Ebitda at the end of the period was 1.1x.
Excluding the non-recurrent temporary working capital effects related with margin accounts, FCF would have reached €1.0 bn and net debt to RCA Ebitda at year end would have been 0.8x.
For 2022, Galp revised upwards its macro assumptions, considering the strength experienced during 2H21 and the beginning of 2022. Additionally, minor adjustments to key operational estimates were made to reflect Galp's most updated view.

In relation to the 2021 fiscal year, Galp's Board of Directors will propose to the next Annual General Meeting in April (AGM) a base dividend of €0.50/share, paid in cash. In addition, the Board plans to launch a share buyback of €150 m.
The base dividend in cash is as per previous guidance, while the buyback programme will be in lieu of the variable cash distribution announced last year.
In assessing the proposed total distributions related to the 2021 fiscal year, the Board considered that a relevant part of the working capital variations at year-end, related to derivative margin accounts effects, were extraordinary and in the process of being reversed during 2022.
An interim dividend of €0.25/share was distributed on 16 September 2021, as an anticipation of the 2021 base distribution related with the fiscal year, with the remaining €0.25/share to be paid once the full year dividend is approved at the AGM.
The €150 m buyback programme will be subject to shareholder authorisation at the AGM for the subsequent cancelation of shares. The programme's details will be announced after the AGM, with its implementation planned to commence thereafter and to be executed throughout the year.
2021 fiscal year:
| Annual cash dividend of €0.50/share | |
|---|---|
| Base Dividend | interim €0.25/share paid on September 16, 2021 - |
| remaining €0.25/share to be paid post approval at the AGM 2022 - |
|
| Additional Distribution | €150 m share buyback |
| to be executed post AGM 2022 and throughout the year - |
Galp's Board of Directors has revised the shareholder distributions guidelines, now with a progressive base cash DPS, growing at 4% per year. The base dividend related to 2022 is therefore expected to be €0.52/share and grow at the same rate over the subsequent years.
Additional supplementary distributions are now being planned to be made through buybacks, whenever Galp's Net Debt to RCA Ebitda remains below the Company's target of 1x. Total distributions to shareholders (cash dividend + buyback) are limited at one third of the adjusted operational cash flows (OCF).
Considering the expected deleveraging of the Company, Galp plans to distribute one third of the OCF generated in each year.
Guidelines for distributions related to the 2022 fiscal year and beyond:
| Base Dividend | Cash dividend of €0.52/share, increasing at a rate of 4% each year |
|---|---|
| Supplementary Distributions | Share buyback whenever Net Debt / RCA Ebitda at year end is < 1x, in the amount which would have raised the ratio to 1x |
| Total Distributions | Base Dividend + Supplementary Distributions total amounts limited at 1/3 of the OCF generated in the year |
Note: total distributions are now linked to OCF instead of CFFO, which excludes the variations related with working capital, inventory effects and other special items (OCF = RCA Ebitda + dividends received from associates – taxes paid).
In relation to the 2022 fiscal year, the €0.52/share cash dividend will consider an interim payment of €0.26/share in September 2022, with the remaining amount to be paid after the dividend approval at the 2023 AGM. The buyback related with 2022 is expected to be executed during 2023.

Working interest (WI) production was up 2% YoY to 124.8 kboepd, benefiting from the continued ramp-up of the latest units to start operations, although impacted by planned maintenance activities, as well as interventions and inspections performed in the period. Natural gas accounted for 11% of WI production.
In Brazil, production increased 2% YoY to 112.3 kboepd, with the continued ramp-up of the FPSOs in Atapu and Sépia, partially offset by the concentration of maintenance activities. Angola WI production decreased YoY, from 13.1 kbpd to 12.5 kbpd.
The Group net entitlement (NE) production followed the production WI increase to 123.0 kboepd.
RCA Ebitda was €593 m, up 86% YoY, with operations successfully capturing the favourable oil price environment, despite a higher discount to Brent on natural gas realisations. OCF was €426 m, compared to €364 m in 3Q21.
Production costs were €13.8 m, lower YoY. In unit terms, and on a net entitlement basis, production costs were \$1.4/boe. As per the application of IFRS 16, the production costs exclude the amounts related with IFRS16 leases, which accounted for €34 m during the period.
Amortisation and depreciation charges (including abandonment provisions) decreased 9% YoY to €136 m. On a net entitlement basis, unit DD&A and Provisions decreased 13% YoY to \$13.7/boe.
RCA Ebit was €456 m, up €296 m YoY. IFRS Ebit amounted to €457 m.
Average WI production during 2021 was 126.7 kboepd, 3% lower YoY, as the ramp-up of the FPSOs in Berbigão/Sururu, Atapu and Sépia, was more than offset by the planned maintenance activities and operational limitations registered during the year.
NE production decreased 3% YoY, to 124.9 kboepd.
RCA Ebitda was €2,020 m, up 82% YoY, driven by the favourable oil price environment. OCF was €1,527 m, up YoY from €749 m.
Production costs were €62 m, excluding IFRS 16 leases of €125 m. In unit terms, and on a net entitlement basis, production costs were \$1.6/boe.
Amortisation and depreciation charges (including abandonment provisions) amounted to €586 m. On a net entitlement basis, DD&A was \$14.0/boe, also excluding impairments related with smaller scale exploration assets.
RCA Ebit was €1,434 m, up €1,028 m YoY, and IFRS Ebit was €1,461 m.
The BM-S-11 consortium has submitted a new Integrated Plan of Development (PoD) for the Tupi and Iracema fields to the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuel Agency (ANP). This submission includes a set of identified actions aimed at maximising the value from the Tupi and Iracema fields, identifying additional development projects, which if approved, would increase the fields' total recoverability.
The updated PoD is now under ANP's evaluation, with its content to be detailed once this process is completed. More information here.
In early 2022, Galp and partners (Shell operator) spudded the Bob well in block C-M-791, in the Campos Basin offshore Brazil, with drilling operations ongoing.

Note: Following the decision to discontinue refining activities in Matosinhos, 2021 refining indicators only reflect Sines refinery operations. 1 Includes volumes sold to the Commercial segment.
Following the decision to discontinue refining activities in Matosinhos, 2021 Industrial & Energy Management indicators exclude Matosinhos refining contribution. The 2020 figures were kept as reported, including Matosinhos' contribution.
Raw materials processed in the quarter were 13.6 mboe, lower 42% YoY, now just considering the processing capacity of Sines refinery, and reflecting the planned maintenance in the hydrocracker and the unplanned event in the atmospheric distillation unit (ADU) during the quarter.
Supply & trading volumes of NG/LNG decreased 26% YoY to 14.3 TWh, impacted by natural gas sourcing restrictions experienced during the period.
Sales of electricity to the grid from the cogeneration plants were down 66% YoY to 119 GWh, given the lower contribution from Matosinhos' cogeneration, with operations stopped since October, and lower production from Sines refinery.
RCA Ebitda for Industrial & Energy Management was €5 m, down €12 m YoY. OCF was €12 m, down €29 m YoY, also reflecting the lower dividends from associates related with Galp's stake in Europe Maghreb Pipeline Limited (EMPL), which expired in October.
The Industrial segment contribution, which includes refining, cogeneration and logistics activities, increased YoY, reflecting the improved refining performance.
Galp's refining margin was up YoY from \$1.6/boe to \$5.6/boe, following a more supportive international refining environment, namely on cracks from gasoline and middle distillates.
Refining costs were €45 m, or \$3.8/boe in unit terms, up \$1.2/boe YoY, considering the planed and unplanned interventions.
Energy Management registered a negative contribution during the period, mostly impacted by persistent restrictions on natural gas sourcing.
RCA Ebit was -€55 m and IFRS Ebit was -€17 m.
Raw materials processed were 76.6 mboe during the period, down 12% YoY, only considering the processing capacity of Sines refinery in 2021 and reflecting the planned and unplanned interventions performed throughout the year.
Crude oil accounted for 85% of raw materials processed, of which 87% corresponded to medium and heavy crudes. All crudes processed were sweet grades. Middle distillates (diesel and jet) accounted for 44% of production, gasoline for 26% and fuel oil for 20%. Consumption and losses accounted for 8% of raw materials processed.
Total oil products supplied increased 6% YoY to 14.8 mton, driven by improved market demand conditions in Iberia.
Supply & trading volumes of NG/LNG were 67.2 TWh, up 12% YoY, following the higher volumes sold in the network trading activities.
Sales of electricity to the grid were 980 GWh during the period, down 28% YoY, following the lower contribution from Matosinhos' cogeneration.
RCA Ebitda for Industrial & Energy Management decreased €49 m YoY to €64 m, despite the higher Industrial performance in 2021, on the back of the improved international refining environment. OCF was €98 m, following Ebitda.
Galp's refining margin was up YoY, from \$1.1/boe to \$3.3/boe, following the more robust international refining context. Refining costs decreased YoY from \$2.6/boe to \$2.0/boe, now only reflecting Sines operational costs, and considering that in 2020 the system operated at sub optimal conditions.
Energy Management contribution decreased YoY, mostly due to natural gas sourcing restrictions, increased costs to access the regasification terminal in Portugal and given the material swing registered in the pricing formulas for oil products between the two periods, reflecting the different evolution trends on the commodity prices.
RCA Ebit was -€173 m and IFRS Ebit was €93 m.
Following the new framework for the natural gas market liberalisation in Brazil, Galp, through its Petrogal Brasil and Galp Energia Brasil subsidiaries, has established a series of gas commercialisation contracts with a start date of January 1, 2022.
Galp has entered into an agreement with Companhia de Gás da Bahia (Bahiagás) to sell a part of its natural gas production from its portfolio to the north-eastern natural gas distributor. Bahiagás has committed to acquire at least 330 million cubic metres per annum of natural gas from Galp for 3 years.
Galp also secured the offtake of Repsol Sinopec's natural gas production from Sapinhoá Norte, broadening the Company's sourcing alternatives in the country.
Additionally, Galp signed agreements with Petrobras and Transportadora Associada de Gás to ensure access to the processing and transportation infrastructures, respectively.

1 Pro-forma considers all Renewables projects as if they were consolidated according to Galp's equity stakes.
Renewable installed capacity, on a 100% basis, increased to 963 MW, supported by the star-up of 36 MW of new solar capacity in Spain during October, from the portfolio of the joint venture (JV) with ACS, where Galp holds a 75,01% stake.
Renewable energy generation, on a 100% basis, amounted to 213 GWh, a 48% decline QoQ, reflecting the seasonally lower sun light hours, and despite the new capacity and transformer online during the period.
Current renewable generation is entirely placed under merchant conditions. Galp's average solar generation sale price was €198/MWh during the quarter, capturing the increase registered in the Iberian wholesale market prices, which was mostly driven by record-high prices of energy and CO2 licenses and lower renewable penetration.
Renewables & New Businesses RCA Ebitda of €2 m in 4Q21 mostly includes G&A and corporate expenses, as all the renewables' projects under operation are not consolidated into Galp's accounts.
Renewables pro-forma Ebitda, which considers all renewable projects as if they were consolidated according to Galp's equity stakes, was €29 m, in line QoQ. Although energy generation was seasonally lower QoQ, results benefitted from stronger solar captured prices. Pro-forma OCF was also €29 m.
Renewable installed capacity, on a 100% basis, at the end of the year was 963 MW, considering 950 MW of solar and 12 MW of wind generation. Note that in 2020, the solar capacity acquired only contributed during the last four months of the year.
At the end of 2021, on a 100% basis, Galp's renewable portfolio, including projects under production, construction or development stood at c.4.7 GW. This includes solar capacity added throughout the year, namely in Spain (c.0.4 GW) and Brazil (c.0.6 GW). This results in a portfolio of c.4.0 GW, considering Galp's equity stakes in such projects.
In 2021, renewable energy generation, on a 100% basis, amounted to 1,288 GWh, or 958 GWh considering Galp's equity stake.
During 2021, Renewables & New Businesses consolidated RCA Ebitda was of -€13 m, which mostly includes consolidated overhead costs, also to explore opportunities in new businesses, such as Galp Solar, GoWithFlow and Galp position in the Li-on batteries value chain.
Renewables pro-forma Ebitda and OCF reached €76 m, higher €78 m YoY, also benefiting from high captured price throughout the year (most of Galp's renewable capacity under operation is within the JV with ACS, which only closed in September 2020).

Galp enters the Brazilian renewables business with the acquisition of 594 MWp solar capacity
In October, Galp agreed to acquire and develop solar projects in Brazil with a combined capacity of 594 MWp, moving forward with its renewable expansion ambitions and taking an important leap in its drive to reshape its portfolio and lower its carbon footprint.
The acquisition comprises two solar projects under development in the states of Bahia and Rio Grande do Norte, with capacities of 282 MWp and 312 MWp, respectively. The projects are set to reach its COD (Commercial Operation Date) before 2025. With this portfolio addition, Galp's total gross renewable generation portfolio increases to c.4.7 GW spread through Portugal, Spain and Brazil. More information here.
On December 14, Galp announced it has agreed to set up a JV with Northvolt, Aurora, which aims to become a steppingstone for the development of an integrated lithiumbattery value-chain aligned with the Portuguese and European ambitions. With the main goal of establishing Europe´s most sustainable integrated lithium conversion plant, the JV will develop a plant set to have an initial annual production capacity of up to 35 kton of battery grade lithium hydroxide – a critical material required by the lithium-ion battery manufacturing industry, which is expected to grow more than tenfold by the end of the decade.

RCA Ebitda increased €234 m YoY to €644 m, driven by the stronger Upstream performance, supported by increased oil prices, and despite a more limited contribution from downstream activities. IFRS Ebitda amounted to €755 m, considering €65 m of inventory effect and -€89 m of special items.
RCA Ebit at €415 m, up YoY from €159 m, following the RCA Ebitda increase. IFRS Ebit was €452 m.
Income from associated companies was €27 m, higher €17 m YoY, reflecting the increased contribution of the renewables' joint ventures, which more than offset the diminished income from Europe Maghreb Pipeline Limited (EMPL).
Financial results were -€50 m, also reflecting currency differences from the USD appreciation against the Euro. Mark-to-market is now registered as a special item, as per the note below.
RCA taxes increased YoY, from €120 m to €212 m, following the increased operational results, namely on upstream.
Non-controlling interests of -€50 m, mostly attributed to Sinopec's stake in Petrogal Brasil.
RCA net income was €130 m. IFRS net income was €106 m, with a positive inventory effect of €65 m and special items of -€89 m, which includes mark-to-market swings related with derivatives, as well as impairments and adjustments related to Matosinhos' discontinued operations.
Note: for the purpose of better assessing Galp's recurrent performance, from 1Q21 onwards markto-market swings related with derivative hedges to cover client positions, which have no direct translation into operating results, are considered as special items. No adjustments were made in the reported figures from previous periods.
RCA Ebitda was €2,322 m, 48% higher YoY, mostly supported by the improved Upstream conditions during the period.
RCA Ebit was €1,372 m, up from €427 m in 2020, following the higher operating contribution, although including €49 m of impairments related with exploration assets in Upstream.
Financial results were -€138 m, including IFRS 16 leases, net interests and currency differences registered in the period.
RCA taxes increased YoY from €337 m to €729 m, mostly following the improved performance in Upstream.
Non-controlling interests of -€143 m are related with Sinopec's stake in Petrogal Brasil.
RCA net income was €457 m, while IFRS net income was €4 m, with a positive inventory effect of €284 m and special items of -€737 m, which includes mark-to-market swings related with derivatives.

12021 includes the proceeds from the GGND stake sale of €368 m.
2 Mainly dividends paid to Sinopec.
Galp's OCF1 reached €470 m, up €96 m YoY, driven by a higher Upstream contribution.
CFFO was down €170 m YoY to €61 m, impacted by a working capital build, caused by the increased commodities' prices and refining restrictions, as well as temporary increase in derivatives margin accounts of €161 m.
Net capex during the period was €273 m, including a €39 m payment related with the increased stake in BM-S-8, announced in 2017 (see here).
FCF was -€236 m. Considering dividends' payments to non-controlling interests of €120 m and other adjustments, net debt increased €330 m in the period.
Galp's OCF reached €1,852 m, 49% higher YoY, supported by the improved Upstream conditions. CFFO amounted to €1,052 m impacted by a working capital build.
The investment in working capital includes €605 m related with temporary margin accounts from derivatives to cover natural gas trading risk. Some of the derivatives in place to cover risk on trading gas activities require margin deposits (exchange-traded TTF futures), which temporarily affect Galp's cash position and which are released as TTF prices adjust downwards and/or gas is delivered to clients throughout 2022.
Net capex was €525 m, considering the proceeds from the GGND stake sale of €368 m, as well as the amounts related to the sale of FPSO P-71 to Petrobras.
FCF amounted to €397 m. Considering dividends paid to shareholders and to noncontrolling interests, as well as other adjustments, net debt increased to €2,357 m.
Excluding the impact from the €605 m temporary build in working capital, FCF would have reached €1.0 bn and net debt would have declined YoY to €1.8 bn.
1 The OCF indicator represents a proxy of Galp's operational performance excluding inventory effects, working capital changes and special items. The reconciliation of this indicator with CFFO using IFRS is in chapter 6.3 Cash Flow.

On December 31, 2021, net debt was €2,357 m, up €330 m QoQ, as the CFFO was impacted by a temporary build in working capital and including the dividends' payments to shareholders and minorities. Net debt to RCA Ebitda increased to 1.1x.
Excluding temporary impacts on working capital, related with gas derivatives, net debt would have been €1.8 bn and net debt to RCA Ebitda at year end would be 0.8x.
At the end of the period, Galp had unused credit lines of approximately €0.8 bn, of which c.60% were contractually guaranteed.

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 quarters ended on December 31 and September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
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.
Other factors that may affect the Company's results, without being an indicator of its true performance, are set as special items.
For the purpose of evaluating Galp's operating performance, RCA profitability measures exclude special 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.
Following the decision to discontinue the Matosinhos refinery, the Company is now booking all Matosinhos related activities as a special item, in order to provide a better proxy of Galp's refining operations going forward.
From 1Q21 onwards mark-to-market swings related with derivative hedges to cover client positions, which have no direct translation into operational results, are considered as special items. No adjustments were made in the reported figures from previous periods.
With regards to risks and uncertainties, please read Part I – C. III Internal control and risk management of Corporate Governance Report 2020.
FOURTH QUARTER & FULL YEAR 2021 RESULTS FEBRUARY 2022
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.
In addition to using the replacement cost method, RCA items exclude special items such as mark-to-market of derivatives hedges, 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 P&L metrics and do not reflect its operational performance.
