1 Proposal to the Annual General Meeting for 2006

  • X Clean EBIT for the quarter at EUR 480 mn down by 2% from Q1/06, mainly due to lower oil prices and a weaker USD; Petrom contributed EUR 118 mn in Q1/07
  • X Clean net income after minorities at EUR 317 mn up by 7%; strong contribution from Borealis
  • X Clean EPS after minorities EUR 1.06 up by 7%; reported EPS increased by 4% to EUR 1.11
  • X Gearing ratio reduced to 3% at end of March due to continuing strong cash flow and despite strong investments and buybacks of shares
  • X Exploration portfolio expanded in Norway and UK
  • X Outlook 2007: We expect a year of further progress in restructuring Petrom as well as in the implementation of our growth strategy. The macro environment is anticipated to be more challenging than in 2006.

Wolfgang Ruttenstorfer, CEO of OMV

"The business environment in Q1/07 was challenging. While refining margins were stronger than has historically been the case for the first quarter, the Brent crude oil price was USD 4/bbl lower than last year and the weakening of the USD and strengthening of the Romanian Lei also affected our business. In addition, the very mild winter in Europe lead to significantly weaker gas and heating oil demand. Despite this, the Gas business showed again a strong performance. As an integrated oil and gas group we are well positioned: We improved net income after minorities by 4% compared to the same period last year. The integration of our businesses and our strong footprint in Central Europe are key competitive advantages that are driving the improvement in our profitability. Our key focus remains the restructuring process at Petrom. The drilling program has been stepped up, and first results are encouraging. Also the well re-completion program is on track and is set to accelerate in the second half of the year. In Marketing we managed to increase domestic sales and could therefore reduce low margin export sales. While further advancing with Petrom's restructuring we will continue to implement our 2010 growth strategy and strengthen our position in Central and Southeastern Europe."

Financial highlights

First quarter 2007 (Q1/07)

In Q1/07 OMV experienced a challenging environment. The Brent oil price was 7% below last year's level and the weakening USD also hurt the upstream business. Although refining margins improved year on year, the relatively mild winter in Europe had a strong adverse impact on demand, especially for gas and heating oil. The Group's EBIT of EUR 512 mn was 5% below the level of Q1/06. The EBIT contribution of Petrom was EUR 136 mn. Net income from investment activities increased and reflected the significantly stronger contribution from Borealis, and also the inclusion of OMV's stake in the Turkish marketing company Petrol Ofisi. Net income after minorities of EUR 332 mn was 4% above last year's level. Clean EBIT decreased by 2% to EUR 480 mn after excluding mainly special income from the disposal of assets and the reversal of an impairment write-off. Petrom's clean EBIT contribution stood at EUR 118 mn. Clean net income after minorities was EUR 317 mn and clean EPS after minorities were EUR 1.06, up 7% compared to Q1/06.

In Exploration and Production (E&P) clean EBIT decreased by 27% compared to Q1/06, reflecting weaker oil and gas prices, a decline in production, and the pressure from a

Significant events in Q1/07

As the total number of convertibles outstanding was less than 10% of the amount originally issued, OMV redeemed the outstanding bonds in February given the strong balance sheet of the Group. OMV started a share buyback program in 2006 which continued in Q1/07 in order to satisfy these bond conversions out of treasury shares and thereby avoid dilution of existing shareholders.

Petrol Ofisi received payment orders from the Turkish Tax Authority, regarding a tax claim for the period 2002 to Q1/06 of about USD 1.2 bn (including a penalty) related to a transaction in 2002 regarding the merger of İs-Dogan into Petrol Ofisi. To terminate the ongoing tax reconciliation it was agreed on May 11 with the Tax Authorities that Petrol Ofisi will pay a settlement in the amount of approximately USD 205 mn (YTL 275.3 mn) which includes also interest payment. Dogan, Petrol Ofisi's largest shareholder and seller of its 34% stake to OMV, has agreed to indemnify OMV against any losses arising from tax related matters relating to the aforementioned transaction. In the course of the quarter OMV bought 4.9 mn additional shares in Petrol

weaker USD. The Group's oil and gas production amounted to 322,000 boe/d, some 5% lower than in Q1/06, mainly due to technical issues in some of the fields, the natural decline in oil production in Romania, the sale of our assets in Ecuador and the fact that production from Venezuela is no longer consolidated.

In Refining and Marketing (R&M) clean EBIT was EUR 29 mn compared to a loss of EUR (34) mn in Q1/06. Improved refining margins, stronger results in the petrochemicals business as well as a good Marketing result offset the impact of weaker sales volumes. Because of the relatively mild winter in Europe, market demand especially for heating oil was significantly weaker than in the same period last year. In addition, inventory was built up ahead of planned shutdowns in Q2/07.

In the Gas segment, clean EBIT was boosted mainly by the significant contribution of Petrom's gas marketing activities and the full consolidation of EconGas (not included in Q1/06). A significant contribution came from the storage business, which was supported by increased storage capacities sold.

Ofisi on the Istanbul Stock exchange, thus increasing our share to 35.2% at the end of March 2007.

On January 31, OMV announced that it has increased production in the Pakistani gas field Sawan from 18,400 boe/d to currently around 20,000 boe/d. This was achieved thanks to plant modifications as well as the drilling of further wells. In addition OMV announced on March 23, a discovery and successful testing of gas in its Latif 1 exploration well in the Latif Exploration Block in the Northern Sindh province of Pakistan.

In the E&P segment four new offshore exploration licenses in Norway and in the UK were obtained, serving to further strengthen our North-West European position. The two blocks in Norway are located in the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea, the new licenses in the United Kingdom cover two areas located in the Atlantic Ocean to the West of the Shetland Islands. All four license areas show strong promise for future production.

Outlook 2007

The focus in 2007 will remain on making further progress in the restructuring program of Petrom as well as its integration into the OMV Group. The main effort of the modernization process in E&P will be the re-completion of oil producing wells, which started with a test phase in 2006. This program is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2008, with evidence of the first successes expected towards the end of 2007. In the Petrom refineries gradual improvements due to the current restructuring investments are expected, but it is estimated that the most significant earnings improvements will not become visible until after the completion of the large investments in 2011. A major step forward will be made in 2007 through the full implementation of the SAP IT system in Petrom.

We expect the main market drivers (crude price, refining margins and the USD exchange rate) to remain highly volatile in 2007. We expect average crude prices in 2007 to be at lower levels than 2006, although with considerable short-term fluctuations. In 2007, the spread between Brent and Urals prices, which has been unusually wide for the last two years, is expected to be slightly below the 2006 level. Regarding the USD exchange rate, we expect the dollar to weaken in comparison to last year. The Romanian Lei (RON) is expected to be significantly stronger than in 2006. We foresee refining margins on a similar level to 2006.

In E&P we expect a slight increase after the declining production in 2006, supported by the start of production of fields in New Zealand and Yemen at the end of 2006. The investment priorities for 2007 will be the development of the Strasshof gas field (Austria), the oil fields Maari (New Zealand), Komsomolskoe (Kazakhstan) and the oil field in Block S2 (Yemen), the oil discoveries in Libya and the final works for the gas field Pohokura (New Zealand). In Romania, high investments in the modernization of the production facilities in order to substantially enhance the efficiency of the production process and to decrease production costs will continue. First signs of improvements out of this modernization program are expected by the end of 2007.

In the R&M segment three major refinery shutdowns are planned for 2007: a one-month turnaround in Arpechim (extension of the interval between the shutdowns from two to four years) and a shutdown for maintenance of the distillation plant in Schwechat, lasting for approximately one month, in Q2. In Q4 the complete site at Burghausen will be shut down for a turnaround lasting six weeks. In

the course of this shutdown the debottlenecked cracker and a new metathesis plant will be put into operation. Due to the planned shutdowns, the Group's total utilization rate in 2007 will be below the level of 2006. The focus of investment in the refineries in 2007 will be the modernization of the Petrobrazi refinery, the completion of the cracker extension in Burghausen and the construction of a thermal cracker in Schwechat in order to be able to use more heavy crude and at the same time to reduce the amount of heavy fuel oil in the product slate. At Bayernoil an extensive restructuring program will be implemented, which will lead to the closure of the site in Ingolstadt in order to implement an improved plant configuration and to secure the refinery network on a long-term basis. Furthermore, preparatory work for the construction of the ethylene pipeline in southern Germany will be undertaken. Due to the further expansion of the filling station network in the European growth markets and a modernization of Petrom's filling stations, sales volumes in Marketing should increase slightly. However, we do not foresee improved margins in Marketing in 2007.

In the Gas segment, the consistent pace of internationalization will be continued in 2007. The marketing and trading business is expected to be strengthened further by the presence of the sales and trading subsidiary EconGas in Germany and Italy as well as by the growth of Petrom's gas business in Romania. In the logistics business Austria's significance as one of the central European turntables is further increased by the extension of transit pipelines, the fast growth of the gas hub in Baumgarten and the planned storage projects. The Nabucco project aims to secure an alternative natural gas supply to Europe via a connection to the Caspian region. The project is still in the development phase, during which all technical, legal, commercial and financial issues are being investigated. The final decision is expected towards the end of 2007/beginning of 2008. Feasibility studies for the Adria LNG project and for building of a gas power plant in Romania are scheduled for 2007.

Annual average investments of approximately EUR 2 bn, of which around EUR 900 mn are dedicated to Petrom, are planned over the next few years in order to maintain growth momentum and continue the modernization of Petrom's operations. Major acquisitions are not included in this figure. All investment decisions are taken on a valuebased approach, which is essential if we are to meet our target of a 13% ROACE over the course of the business cycle, given long-term market indicators.

First quarter 2007 (Q1/07)

  • X Lower oil production due to natural decline in Romania and reduced OPEC quotas in Libya; oil production in Yemen steadily increasing
  • X Despite start up of gas field Pohokura (NZ) at the end of 2006, slightly lower gas production due to weaker demand caused by the warm winter
  • X OPEX in USD/boe increased mainly due to FX rates and lower production volumes
  • X Well re-completion and drilling programs in Romania on track and set to accelerate in H2/07
  • X Chergui oil field (Tunisia) sold and impairment write-off reversed for an asset in Kazakhstan

Segment sales increased despite lower price levels, weaker USD FX-rates and lower sales volumes as inter-segmental sales between E&P and Gas were not included in Q1/06. Whilst the Brent crude price decreased by 7% compared to Q1/06, the Group's average realized crude price was USD 51.89/bbl, a decrease of only 6%. The realized/Brent-price differential decreased to USD 5.9/bbl (Q1/06: USD 6.8/bbl) mainly as a result of the timing of liftings. The Group's average realized gas price was down by 2% compared to Q1/06, reflecting decreased international price levels, which were partly offset by higher gas price realizations in Romania.

EBIT was down by 29% compared to Q1/06 mainly due to a significantly lower contribution from Petrom, influenced by lower prevailing oil prices, and the weakening USD heavily affecting oil revenues. EBIT includes special items of about EUR 32 mn which relate mainly to special income from the sale of the Tunisian oil field Chergui and to the reversal of an impairment made in 2006 for the field Sinelnikov in Kazakhstan, following its sale in Q2/07. In addition, Petrom received further proceeds in Q1/07 from the sale of non-core rigs in Q1/06. Excluding special items clean EBIT was 27% below last year's level.

Production costs excluding royalties in USD/boe (OPEX) increased by 23% compared to Q1/06. In Petrom OPEX was up by 29% due to FX-effects (the Romanian Lei strengthened by 13% against the USD) and the negative impact of lower production volumes on unit costs.

Exploration expenditure was 3% higher than in Q1/06 mainly due to the step up of activities in Petrom (Q1/07: EUR 20 mn, Q1/06: EUR 3 mn), where 9 exploration wells have been drilled in Q1/07 compared to a total number of 6 wells in full year 2006. Additionally, exploration activities also increased in Germany, Austria and Pakistan. In Q1/07 new discoveries were made in Pakistan and Libya and substantial new acreage was secured in Norway and the UK.

Total production of oil, NGL (natural gas liquids) and gas decreased by 5% mainly due to lower production at Petrom but also due to asset sales. Oil and NGL production was 8% below Q1/06 due to three main factors: the disposal of Ecuador in Q4/06; the change of contract in Venezuela in Q2/06; and lower volumes in Romania, where the natural decline could only partly be compensated by improved reservoir management and the production drilling

campaign. The well re-completion program to reduce maintenance shutdowns is on track. At the end of Q1/07, 179 wells have been modernized. The number of crews working on this program is now being stepped up and will be increased from currently 6 to around 45 during the course of the year. We expect first results from this program towards the end of 2007. The step up in oil production in Yemen contributed positively. Gas production decreased by 1%. In Petrom, gas production was negatively impacted by the reduced demand due to the mild winter and lower off-takes by the fertilizer plant Doljchim; the new gas volumes from the start up of production at the gas field Pohokura in New Zealand could only partly compensate for that.

Compared to Q4/06 clean EBIT decreased by 20%. Whilst Brent decreased by USD 1.8/bbl, the Group's realized crude price fell by USD 2.4/bbl due to the composition of liftings. Production volumes were down by 2% due to the continuing natural decline in Romania, new OPEC quotas in Libya, technical issues with Schiehallion in the UK and temporary technical problems in Tunisia. Due to the mild winter, gas sales volumes were significantly below Q4/06, whereas gas production was only slightly down. E&P results were affected by the weakening USD. Petrom's results were particularly burdened by FX effects due to the strengthening of the RON against the USD, as crude price realizations are based on USD and the cost base is in RON. In preparation for the maintenance shutdown of the Arpechim refinery in Q2/07 the crude oil produced has not been entirely processed but has been held in inventory at production cost. Therefore E&P has not yet realized market prices for these volumes, because it is to a large degree physically integrated with Petrom's downstream activities.

In order to reflect the increasing focus on Petrom's international portfolio in the Caspian Region, Russia and the Black Sea, areas where substantial growth and investments are planned, the E&P management resources in Petrom will be strengthened. Johann Pleininger, an experienced E&P manager working with Petrom for the past two years, will take over responsibility for the domestic E&P business, which remains our core focus in Romania. Werner Ladwein, who was heading Petrom E&P in the past but has extensive experience and a strong track record in international expansion, will now be exclusively in charge of Petrom's international portfolio. These changes are subject to the final approval of Petrom's Supervisory Board.

First quarter 2007 (Q1/07)

  • X Strong refining margins partly offset by weaker sales volumes due to the mild winter
  • X Solid petrochemicals west result due to higher margins and increased volumes
  • X Reduced Petrom export volumes and an overall favorable retail environment improved Marketing results

Because of the relatively mild winter in Europe, demand especially for heating oil was significantly weaker than in the same period last year. This led to 10% lower R&M segment sales compared to Q1/06. Despite lower sales volumes, clean EBIT came in above Q1/06, reflecting higher refining margins and positive developments in petrochemicals west as well as the Marketing business. Petrom's refineries benefited from increased margins and first yield improvements; however this was partly offset by the adverse impact of inventory effects due to product prices coming down towards the end of the quarter. No special items were recorded in Q1/07.

The bulk refining result dropped mainly due to lower refining sales volumes, which more than offset significantly higher refining margins (OMV indicator refining margin up by 47% compared to Q1/06). The OMV indicator refining margin west of USD 5.59/bbl was some 55% above Q1/06, mainly because of higher gasoline and naphtha spreads. In Petrom the positive impact of higher refining margins, the first improvement in the product slate and the slightly lower energy consumption contributed to the improved result.

Despite 7% lower refining sales volumes, overall capacity utilization was up by 2 percentage points compared to Q1/06 because of the necessary inventory build-up ahead of the scheduled shutdown of the crude units in the refineries Schwechat in Austria and Arpechim in Romania in Q2/07. Capacity utilization in Petrom was below last year's level as product exports have been reduced to optimize overall results. Total refining sales were 7% below Q1/06; within this, refining sales at Petrom were 14% lower.

The petrochemicals result west (excluding Petrom) was excellent as petrochemicals margins increased by 34%, mainly due to lower naphtha prices. Petrochemical sales volumes increased by 5% compared to Q1/06 as a consequence of the capacity increase in Schwechat, which had been still in the start-up phase in the beginning of 2006.

The Marketing result came in well above the Q1/06 level, when losses were recorded. In Petrom we managed to reduce export sales (with very low margins) by 45% due to increased domestic sales and product optimizations in the refineries. In addition to higher retail margins, the higher contribution from the non-oil business also helped. Marketing volumes were down overall year-on-year, due to 16% lower commercial sales volumes (mainly significantly reduced sales of heating oil) as a consequence of the

extremely mild European winter. Retail volumes, on the other hand, increased by 8% mainly due to the increased efficiency of the retail station network as well as higher demand. Higher retail volumes in Petrom were also a result of improved retail station management, the increased number of the high-standard PetromV stations (47 stations per end of Q1/07) as well as the inclusion of OMV's marketing activities in Serbia and Romania. At the end of Q1/07, some 400 filling stations are already operating under the full agency system. As of March 31, 2007, OMV's overall retail network had contracted by 1% compared to end of Q1/06, mainly due to the closure of tail end retail stations.

Compared to Q4/06 Refining clean EBIT improved due to favorable refining margins, which were however to a large degree offset by lower bulk sales volumes and a weaker petrochemicals contribution. The Marketing business was particularly impacted by lower sales volumes due to the mild winter in Europe, in particular sales of heating oil fell sharply in Q1/07. The local Central European area had abundant supply of middle distillates which also put diesel margins under pressure. These negative impacts counteracted the effect of the improved indicator margin.

First quarter 2007 (Q1/07)

  • X Seasonally strong contribution of EconGas
  • X Strong storage business due to increased contracted volumes
  • X Lower sales volumes due to relatively mild winter and reorganization of Russian supply contracts
  • X Positive impact from Petrom's higher sales volumes out of storage

EBIT was up by 140% compared to Q1/06 mainly due to the full consolidation of EconGas starting with Q4/06.

EBIT in the marketing and trading business was boosted by the EUR 36 mn contribution of EconGas. In addition, the business benefited from increased price levels in Romania. The relatively warm winter season compared to an extremely cold winter in 2005/06 resulted in markedly lower sales volumes. EconGas was able to partly offset this decline by increased international short-term wholesale and trading activities. In November 2006, the Russian import contracts were transferred to EconGas and parts of the Russian import volume were transferred to GWH and Centrex, leading to lower sales volumes for the Group. Petrom's contribution to EBIT increased by EUR 8 mn partly due to the gas price increase in Q1/07 and the sale of gas out of storage. In addition, sales volumes increased due to enhanced marketing activities and the obligation to supply a consumer basket (i.e. requirement to sell a certain percentage of import gas) to eligible customers since H2/06. This import requirement had a negative effect on Petrom's results. The import price decreased in the course of the quarter to USD 300/1,000 cbm in Q1/07 (Q4/07: USD 315/1,000 cbm) while the regulated gas price for industrial customers in Romania rose to USD 327/1,000 cbm. The regulated domestic gas price for producers

increased by 39% to USD 154.05/1,000 cbm compared to Q1/06. The transport business profited from higher transportation volumes. Total gas transportation capacity sold increased compared to Q1/06, primarily due to increased capacity as the TAG Loop II started operation at the end of 2006. A significant contribution to overall EBIT came from the storage business as high capacities were booked for 2007 following the cold winter in 2005/06. Thus the average storage capacity sold was significantly above last year's level.

Compared to Q4/06, results increased by 62%. Seasonally Q1 is always the strongest quarter for EconGas. To compensate for the impact of the mild winter on sales, EconGas increased its short-term wholesale and trading activities and in addition successfully hedged storage volumes. In Romania, the reduced import quota and lower import prices mitigated to some extent the burden from the import obligation. In addition, increased gas prices compensated for lower sales volumes as a consequence of the mild winter. The lower level of Romanian gas demand due to the warm weather was largely compensated by lower import levels. The TAG Loop II started operations in Q4/06 and as a result the total gas transportation capacity increased. Storage capacity sold remained at the high level of Q4/06.

First quarter 2007 (Q1/07)

The 7% increase in consolidated sales compared to Q1/06 mainly reflects the consolidation of EconGas. R&M represented 76% of total consolidated sales; Gas accounted for 18% and E&P for approximately 5% (sales in E&P being in large part intra-group sales rather than third party sales).

The Group's EBIT at EUR 512 mn was 5% below the level of Q1/06, mainly due to increased cost of sales and a

reduction in other operating income. The EBIT contribution of Petrom was EUR 136 mn. Special income of EUR 32 mn refers to income from asset disposals (EUR 19 mn for the Tunisian oil field Chergui and additional proceeds from rig sales in Q1/06) and income from the reversal of impairments (EUR 13 mn from the oil and gas field in Kazakhstan). Clean EBIT decreased by 2% to EUR 480 mn; within this, the contribution of Petrom's clean EBIT was EUR 118 mn.

The EUR 48 mn improvement in the net financial result compared to Q1/06 reflects lower net interest expenses due to lower FX losses from cash deposits of Petrom. In addition, higher income from associated companies contributed positively. Borealis showed significant improvements and more than compensated for EconGas now being reported in EBIT due to the full consolidation as of Q4/06.

The equity income of Petrol Ofisi at EUR 4 mn was seasonally low. In 2007 Petrol Ofisi received payment orders from the Turkish Tax Authority, regarding a tax claim for the period 2002 to Q1/06 of about USD 1.2 bn (including a penalty) related to a transaction in 2002 regarding the merger of IS-Dogan into Petrol Ofisi. To terminate the ongoing tax reconciliation it was agreed on May 11 with the Tax Authorities that Petrol Ofisi will pay a settlement in the amount of approximately USD 205 mn (YTL 275.3 mn) which includes also interest payment. Dogan, Petrol Ofisi's largest shareholder and seller of its 34% stake to OMV, has agreed to indemnify OMV against any losses arising from tax related matters relating to the aforementioned transaction. In the course of the quarter OMV bought 4.9 mn additional shares in Petrol Ofisi on the Istanbul Stock exchange, thus increasing our share to 35.2% at the end of March 2007.

Current taxes on income of the Group were EUR 143 mn and deferred taxes of EUR 2 mn were recognized in Q1/07. The effective corporate income tax rate, based on pre-tax profits, increased to 27% compared to 19% in Q1/06 due to high taxed crude oil liftings in the quarter and the full

taxation in Romania as the geological quota in Romania was phased out.

Net income was 7% lower than in Q1/06 at EUR 401 mn. EUR 69 mn of this is attributable to minority interests thus leading to a net income after minorities of EUR 332 mn up by 4% compared to Q1/06. Clean net income after minorities (excluding net income from discontinued operations) was EUR 317 mn. EPS for the quarter were EUR 1.11, while clean EPS after minorities were up 7% at EUR 1.06 (Q1/06: EUR 1.07 and EUR 1.00 respectively).

Compared to Q4/06 sales declined by 11% mainly due to the lower sales volumes of R&M and Gas as a consequence of the mild winter. EBIT was up by 30% as Q4/06 included special items amounting to EUR 199 mn mainly relating to restructuring. Therefore, after deducting special items, clean EBIT decreased by 14% mainly reflecting mainly lower Petrom results. The net financial result was down by 32% reflecting higher net interest expenses and lower income from associated companies mainly from Petrol Ofisi: Its result was driven by a seasonally weaker business environment compared to Q4/06 and in addition Q4/06 was boosted by significant FX effects due to the appreciation of the YTL against the USD. The corporate tax rate increased from 25% in Q4/06 to 27% in Q1/07, mainly reflecting the effect from the termination of geological quota in Romania and the lower equity contribution of Petrol Ofisi. Net income after minorities, i.e. the net income attributable to own shareholders, was up by 13%.

Capital expenditure increased significantly to EUR 528 mn (Q1/06: EUR 433 mn). E&P invested EUR 250 mn (Q1/06: EUR 123 mn) mainly in developing fields in Romania, Austria, New Zealand and the UK. CAPEX was EUR 226 mn (Q1/06: EUR 281 mn) in the R&M segment for investments in petrochemical projects in Burghausen as well as quality enhancement projects. R&M investments also included the purchase of further 4.9 mn Petrol Ofisi shares. OMV stake at the end of March was therefore 35.2%. The main focus of investment in the Gas segment (EUR 32 mn) was centered on the West-Austria gas pipeline (WAG) expansion project. The bulk of the EUR 19 mn invested by Co&O went to IT projects and infrastructure, mainly in Petrom.

Total assets grew by EUR 640 mn or 4% to EUR 18,444 mn. This was mainly due to increased inventories in preparation for refinery shutdowns as well as increased property. Equity also increased by approximately 4%. The Group's equity ratio remained at 52%.

In Q1/07 OMV continued with the share buyback program approved and started in 2006. 1,627,390 shares were bought back at a weighted average share price of EUR 39.86 whereof 1,624,130 were used for serving the conversion of convertible bonds. Thus the total number of own shares held by the Company amounted to 1,292,866 as of March 31, 2007.

In Q1/07, 2,720 convertibles had been bought back at an average price of EUR 405.61. On February 21, 2007 OMV redeemed all remaining outstanding convertible bonds.

As of March 31, 2007, long- and short-term borrowings and bonds stood at EUR 2,031 mn (year end 2006: EUR 2,294 mn) while cash and cash equivalents (including current securities and investments) increased to EUR 1,710 mn (year end 2006: EUR 1,664 mn). OMV therefore reduced its net debt position to EUR 321 mn at the end of March 2007, compared to EUR 630 at the end of 2006. As of March 31, 2007, the gearing ratio was 3% (year end 2006: 7%).

In Q1/07 free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operating activities less cash flow from investing activities) amounted to EUR 226 mn. As no significant dividend payments took place, free cash flow less dividend payments was at a similar level (EUR 219 mn).

Sources of funds were up mainly due to non cash effects of derivative revaluation, which more than compensated for the non cash income from reversal of impairment, the sale of the Chergui oil field in Tunisia, and income from equity investments. In Q1/07 cash flow used in investment activities mainly reflected the investments in fixed assets. Cash flow from financing activities was negative in Q1/07, mainly due to the repayment of long term borrowings and the cost of buying back shares to satisfy the conversion of convertible bonds.

Economic environment: Oil prices and exchange rates

World crude demand in Q1/07 increased modestly by 0.6 mn bbl/d or 0.7% to 85.5 mn bbl/d. A considerable decrease was recorded by the OECD countries in Europe (0.6 mn bbl/d or 3.9%) and overall OECD demand was down by 0.4 mn bbl/d to 49.8 mn bbl/d. The impact of this trend was more than offset by a rise of 1 mn bbl/d or 2.9% in non-OECD demand, of which two thirds was caused by China. World crude oil production rose to 85.4 mn bbl/d (0.2 mn bbl/d compared to Q1/06). As a result, there was only a marginal 0.1 mn bbl/d rundown of inventories. OPEC output was 35.1 mn bbl/d representing a market share of 41% (which included Angola for the first time). There were marked shifts within OPEC, with Saudi Arabian and Venezuelan output down by 10% and 7% respectively, and Iraqi production up by 10%. Among the non-OPEC producers the CIS countries recorded a notable output increase of 7%.

Brent started the year on USD 58.9/bbl — about the same as in Q1/06 — and retreated to just over USD 50/bbl by mid-January. Thereafter it climbed steadily to reach 68.60/bbl by the end of March. OPEC production cuts effective February 1 were not the only factor behind the price run-up. Re-nationalization trends in Russia, South America and Africa, the continued dispute over Iran's nuclear program, and shrinking product inventories in consuming countries also played a part. The average price of Brent blend for the quarter was 7% down at USD 57.76/bbl (Q1/06: USD 61.78/bbl). Rotterdam (EUR denominated) product prices were 10% to 13% lower and heavy heating oil fell by 27%.

The average dollar exchange rate for Q1/07 was 9% lower year on year, at EUR/USD 1.311.
