- X Economic environment weighs on Q1/09 results: Clean CCS EBIT decreased by 54% to EUR 340 mn; including negative CCS effects of EUR (82) mn in refining, clean EBIT was EUR 258 mn. Clean CCS net income after minorities was EUR 126 mn in Q1/09 burdened by a loss of EUR (32) mn from associated companies affected by FX losses at Petrol Ofisi and reduced market demand at Borealis as well as a high tax rate
- X OMV has quickly adjusted to the changing economic environment, gaining competitive advantage through its strong liquidity position as a result of the hedging strategy in E&P started in Q4/08 and a reprioritized capital budget
- X Outlook for 2009: We expect the main market drivers to remain highly volatile; in E&P production rate should be supported by new field developments
Wolfgang Ruttenstorfer, CEO of OMV:
"Against the backdrop of a deteriorating economic situation and crude prices only slightly recovering towards the end of Q1/09, the operational environment remained difficult for OMV. While earnings came under pressure we managed, at the same time, to strengthen our balance sheet, notably through the sale of our 21.2% stake in MOL but also through the issue of a Eurobond and German Loan Notes. More encouragingly, the Maari oil field in New Zealand has been brought on stream and current production rates look very promising. Overall, OMV is well prepared to cope with the global economic downturn. Its operational and financial strength allows the Company to continue pursuing its growth strategy in its core regions, which will offer attractive growth rates in the medium and long term."

Financial highlights
First quarter 2009 (Q1/09)
In Q1/09, results reflected the strong decline in crude prices. The average Brent price decreased by 54% compared to Q1/08. Furthermore these lower average crude prices led to negative CCS effects in refining. The Group's reported EBIT of EUR 266 mn was therefore significantly below the level of Q1/08. For the same reasons the contribution of Petrom to reported EBIT was only EUR 77 mn. The net financial result was below the Q1/08 level, as the MOL sale as well as Borealis' and Petrol Ofisi's results made a negative contribution. Net income after minorities of EUR 40 mn was down compared to EUR 446 mn in Q1/08. Clean CCS EBIT was down by 54% at EUR 340 mn excluding a minor net special income of EUR 8 mn and CCS effects of EUR (82) mn. Petrom's clean CCS EBIT was EUR 93 mn. Clean CCS net income after minorities was EUR 126 mn and clean CCS EPS after minorities was EUR 0.42. At the end of March, net debt of the Group was EUR 3,336 mn and the gearing ratio stood at 33.9%.
Significant events in Q1/09
On January 21, OMV announced the planned sale of additional 70 OMV and Avanti filling stations in Austria. OMV's strategy is the expansion of premium station locations and quality leadership with the VIVA convenience store brand.
On February 12, OMV was awarded an additional offshore exploration license in Norway, which is located in the Barents Sea, and will be operated by OMV (Norge) AS in a joint venture with Sagex Petroleum Norge AS. OMV now has interests in seven licenses in Norway.
On February 23, OMV announced the planned sale of its subsidiary, OMV Italia S.r.L. with a network of 96 filling stations in the Northern-Italian region of Triveneto (Trentino, South Tirol, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Veneto) by year-end 2009.
On February 25, OMV announced first oil from Maari, New Zealand, operated by OMV New Zealand in a joint venture with Todd Energy, Horizon Oil International Ltd and Cue
In Exploration and Production (E&P), clean EBIT decreased by 69% compared to Q1/08 to EUR 227 mn as oil prices fell dramatically, only partly compensated by the positive impact of FX developments. The Group's oil and gas production was 308,000 boe/d, 4% below the level of Q1/08.
In Refining and Marketing (R&M), clean CCS EBIT was EUR 22 mn, versus EUR (7) mn in Q1/08. Timing effects (crude oil bought at higher price levels than prevailing at the moment of sale of finalized products) led to negative CCS effects of EUR (82) in refining. The petrochemical business suffered from depressed margins. The marketing result came in well above the level of Q1/08, mainly due to higher sales volumes and cost reductions in Petrom.
In Gas and Power (G&P), clean EBIT decreased by 2% to EUR 86 mn compared to Q1/08, with good results from gas supply, marketing and trading partially compensating for negative effects from Doljchim.
Taranaki Pty Ltd. A peak production level of approximately 30,000 bbl/d is expected in 2010 (gross).
On March 9, OMV announced the start of the extended well test of Latif-1 located in the Latif Block about 100 km from Sukkur in southern Pakistan's province of Sindh. During 9m/09 the testing gas rate is estimated to reach approximately 1,000 boe/d.
On March 25, the OMV Supervisory Board reconfirmed all Members of the Executive Board. Wolfgang Ruttenstorfer will serve as CEO until March 31, 2011 and will be succeeded by Gerhard Roiss.
On March 30, OMV announced the sale of its 21.2% stake in MOL to Surgutneftegaz, for a total consideration of EUR 1,400 mn.
On March 31, OMV announced its debut EUR 750 mn Eurobond transaction, with a maturity of five years. Due to high demand the bond issue was later increased to EUR 1,000 mn.
Outlook 2009
In 2009, we expect the main market drivers (crude price, refining margins and the EUR-USD exchange rate) to remain highly volatile. We expect the oil price to recover during 2009 from the significant drop experienced at the end of last year, but remaining well below the average numbers of 2008. The Brent-Urals spread should narrow compared to the 2008 average level.
The average EUR-USD exchange rate for 2009 is expected to be highly volatile and overall we are anticipating a weaker EUR compared to the average 2008 level. Based on the recent weakness of several CEE currencies we expect a highly volatile but overall decreasing RON versus the USD and the EUR compared to 2008 average levels.
The deterioration of the global economic situation will have an impact in OMV's relevant markets. Refinery fuels margins are anticipated to weaken from the 2008 level and the petrochemicals business is expected to suffer from reduced market demand and lower margins caused by the economic downturn. Marketing margins are expected to be lower than in 2008.
OMV as an integrated energy company with low leverage has the financial strength to withstand the impact of a weaker economic environment. With its solid financial structure, OMV is well positioned to cope with the challenges and opportunities of the current market. The Group's planned investments are screened and prioritized to reduce CAPEX to levels appropriate of the current challenging environment.
To partly protect the Group's cash flow from the negative impact of falling oil prices, derivative instruments have been used to hedge earnings in the E&P segment for 65,000 bbl/d in 2009. To achieve this goal, put spreads were used. Should average oil prices per quarter stay below USD 65/bbl in 2009, the hedge would pay out USD 15/bbl to actual oil prices. From USD 65/bbl to USD 80/bbl the hedge secures USD 80/bbl. The put spreads were financed via calls in order to avoid initial cash outlay (zerocost structure), whereby the Group would not be able to benefit from oil prices above approx. USD 110/bbl in 2009 for the above stated volume. To partly protect the Group's cash flow from EUR-USD volatility, derivative instruments have also been used to hedge an exposure of approximately USD 1 bn. Based on these acquired derivative instruments, exchange rate movements only affect results within the range of EUR-USD 1.32 to 1.15.
In E&P, production is expected to increase due to new fields coming on stream in 2009. The oil field Maari in New Zealand started production in Q1/09 and first lifting was undertaken at the beginning of April. The oil field Komsomolskoe in Kazakhstan is expected to start production in Q2/09. In addition, the Austrian gas fields Strasshof and Ebenthal (put on stream in Q3/08), as well
as drilling in the gas field Mamu and the development of the oil field Delta, both in Romania, will all contribute positively to production. On the other hand, changes to OPEC quotas will lead to a significantly lower production contribution from Libya than in 2008 and, starting with 2009, non-hydrocarbon gases (mainly inert gases) produced in Austria and Pakistan that can not be sold will no longer be shown as part of production. The Romanian gas demand is significantly lower than last year due to reduced industrial consumption, particularly in the chemical industry. To date, this has had no impact on our production, though an increase in the import rate later in the year could adversely affect Petrom's gas production. In Romania, the further integration and restructuring of the oil service business of Petromservice, acquired in February 2008, will be one of the key activities. The successfully completed well modernization program, the increase in operational efficiency and streamlining of the organization will positively influence the operating costs of Petrom in 2009. The business focus will further be on tight cost control and project prioritization within E&P to tackle the volatile environment.
In the R&M segment, the thermal gasoil unit in Schwechat came on stream in the beginning of Q2/09, which will enable an increase in the share of heavy crude oil input and, at the same time, an improvement in the product yield. No major shutdowns are planned in the refineries. Minor planned shutdowns are not expected to materially impact earnings. Overall capacity utilization is expected to be below the long-term trend as a result of the economic slowdown in our relevant markets. In 2009, the construction of the Ethylene Pipeline South will be continued and should be completed in 2010. This pipeline will strengthen the petrochemical industry in Bavaria (Germany). The exit from retail business in Italy and further sale of tail-end filling stations in Austria will be ongoing, which should lead to an optimized structure of the overall network.
In the G&P segment, strong focus will remain on the enhancement of sales activities through increasing market penetration as well as on increasing trading activities at European gas hubs via EconGas. In Romania, the tendency towards declining gas consumption is expected to continue in 2009 due to reduced industrial demand. In order to strengthen the position of OMV's gas business in Europe, diversification of long-term supply will be pursued in respect of accessing new supply sources – be it via pipeline or LNG. An open season process is planned in 2009 for the Nabucco gas pipeline project, which should lead to the first transport contracts. Major milestones for the Gate LNG terminal in Rotterdam are the construction of the outer LNG tanks and the jetty substructure. For the Adria LNG project in Croatia, the Combined Risk Assessment, the Environmental Impact Study and the Front End Engineering and Design award process are to be
completed in 2009. Further extension of the WAG gas pipeline will continue, aiming to increase the transport
capacity by 2011. The construction of the power plant in Brazi in Romania continues according to plan.

First quarter 2009 (Q1/09)
- X Low oil price environment burdened Q1/09 results; stronger USD could mitigate this effect to some extent
- X Production volumes below Q1/08 level: Lower volumes in Libya and in Romania could not be fully offset by start of production of the oil field Maari, New Zealand
- X Positive OPEX development: A stronger USD had a positive effect on OPEX in USD/boe, supported by an improved overall cost situation
Beginning with Q1/09 OMV is reporting its segment results before taking into account the necessary elimination of intersegmental profits. The change in these unrealized profits is reflected in the consolidation adjustment.
Segment sales decreased significantly in Q1/09 – despite a stronger USD – mainly due to the weaker oil price environment. The Brent price in USD was 54% below the Q1/08 level, while the Group's average realized crude price fell by just 49% to USD 45.88/bbl. The Urals crude price,
the reference oil price in Romania, decreased by 53%. The Group's average realized gas price in EUR was by 9% below Q1/08 reflecting the gas price decline lagging behind the oil prices. EBIT fell by 69% compared to Q1/08 mainly due to the weak price situation and lower lifting volumes. Higher volumes in New Zealand and Yemen could not compensate for a significant volume reduction in Libya, as well as for lower volumes in Romania, Pakistan and the UK. Also the negative effect of higher exploration expenses due to the write-off of parts of the Barracuda field in Libya burdened the result. These effects were partially mitigated by a positive hedging result (EUR 58 mn) and the beneficial effect of the stronger USD. The latter had a positive effect on oil revenues, while the weakening of the RON against the EUR (compared to Q1/08) had a strong favorable impact on RON-denominated costs in EUR terms. Romanian gas prices in EUR terms were adversely affected by the weakening of the Romanian currency since they are fixed in RON. As no special items were recorded in Q1/09, just as in Q1/08, the decline in clean EBIT was the same, 69%.
Production costs excluding royalties in USD/boe (OPEX) decreased by 12% versus Q1/08. At Petrom, OPEX/boe was even down by 15%. The positive effect from the stronger USD and weaker RON more than compensated for the negative volume effects. Exploration expenditure declined by 13% to EUR 51 mn compared to Q1/08, mainly due to lower exploration activities in Romania and Russia despite higher activities in Libya and the UK.
Total production of oil, NGL and gas was down by 4% versus Q1/08 at 308,000 boe/d. Oil and NGL production was slightly below Q1/08 primarily due to Libya (production down by 7,000 boe/d mainly as a result of the lower OPEC quota) and lower volumes in Romania, the UK and Tunisia, which could not be compensated by the start of production of Maari (New Zealand) and higher volumes
from Habban (Yemen). Gas production fell by 6% compared to Q1/08, mainly due to lower market demand in Romania. As of Q1/09 non-hydrocarbon gases (mainly inert gases) produced in Austria and Pakistan that can not be sold, will no longer be shown as part of the production. This was only partially compensated by the additional volumes from the Strasshof (first phase) and Ebenthal fields, which were start-ups in Austria in Q3/08. Also, to a large extent due to underliftings in Libya and Tunisia, the total sales quantity was 5% behind Q1/08 volumes. The new Maari field had no liftings in Q1/09.
In Q1/09, OMV decided to stop its exploration activities in Bavaria, Germany and in the Mehr block in Iran. Thus OMV is active in 17 countries in the E&P segment.
Compared to Q4/08, clean EBIT declined by 17%. The negative effects of lower oil prices (Brent and Urals down by 20%) and lower volumes in Q1/09 were only partially mitigated by cost savings and the positive hedging result. Reported EBIT increased significantly due to net special charges (EUR 244 mn) booked in Q4/08 reflecting provisions for litigations in Romania as well as restructuring provisions and write-offs in Iran and Russia. The contribution from Petrom benefited from a weaker RON against the EUR (lower costs in EUR terms) but was adversely affected by decreased gas prices in EUR terms. Sales volumes were down, largely due to lower volumes in Libya. Oil production decreased, also mainly due to Libya (Libyan volumes down by 9,000 boe/d), as the effects of the lower OPEC quota could not be offset by the start-up of Maari. Gas volumes slightly declined as volumes from the new Austrian fields Strasshof and Ebenthal could not compensate for the deduction of non-hydrocarbon gases in reported volumes from Pakistan and Austria. Gas volumes in Romania were stable.

- X OMV indicator refining margin under pressure towards end of Q1/09 due to weak middle distillate spreads; positive margin effect from reduced cost for own crude consumption
- X Lower average crude prices resulted in further negative CCS effects of EUR (82) in refining
- X Petrochemical business suffered from a strong decline in olefin prices due to the economic downturn
- X Stable marketing sales volumes despite weakening environment; higher sales volumes in Petrom (+12% vs Q1/08)
The impact of lower price levels led to 40% lower R&M segment sales compared to Q1/08 despite nearly stable sales volumes. At EUR 22 mn, clean CCS EBIT came in above the level of Q1/08 mainly reflecting the positive development in refining west and marketing. Net special income in Q1/09 was EUR 9 mn mainly related to the sale of tail-end filling stations in Austria. However, timing effects (crude oil bought at higher price levels than prevailing at the moment of sale of products) led to negative CCS effects of EUR (82) mn resulting in a negative reported EBIT of EUR (51) mn.
The clean CCS EBIT in refining was down compared to Q1/08. While fuel margins showed a similar level, petrochemical margins were down significantly due to a sharp drop in sales prices. Furthermore, a drop in sales volumes of middle distillates (mainly diesel and jet fuel) and a higher share of heavy fuel oil led to a lower yielding product mix especially at Petrom. The OMV indicator refining margin of USD 4.26/bbl was a result of lower spreads for middle distillates, gasoline and naphtha, compensated by lower crude input costs and higher spreads for heavy fuel oils. The OMV indicator refining margin east particularly benefited from the decline in crude prices, as it includes a high proportion of own crude consumption in its calculation, making the margin sensitive to changes in the oil price.
Overall capacity utilization stood at 81%, below the level of Q1/08, mainly reflecting stock disposal during Q1/09. Furthermore, the Arpechim refinery underwent maintenance at the end of Q1/09 which, however, had no significant effect on EBIT. Total refining sales volumes were down 2% compared to Q1/08.
The petrochemicals result west (excluding Petrom) was below the level of Q1/08. This mainly reflects a considerable decline in petrochemical margins due to the fact that sales prices were subdued, reflective of the economic environment. Petrochemical sales volumes west were slightly above the levels of Q1/08, which had been affected by the ramp up phase after the capacity increase in Burghausen.
The marketing result came in well above the level of Q1/08, mainly due to higher margins in commercial business and at Petrom. Margin levels were supported by an improved heating oil business due to the cold winter. Costs in Petrom declined due to positive effects from the weaker RON and restructuring measures. Marketing volumes were similar to Q1/08 as higher volumes at Petrom could offset the small decline in volumes in the remaining markets. As of March 31, 2009, the total number of retail stations in the Group declined by 2% compared to the end of March 2008, mainly due to the sale of Austrian stations in the context of the retail network optimization.
Compared to Q4/08, clean CCS EBIT declined considerably due to lower refining margins as a consequence of a drop in crack spreads, especially for middle distillates. Furthermore, the petrochemical result was heavily impacted by low margins which, in line with marketing margins, were coming down from unusually high levels in Q4/08. These negative margin developments more than outweighed positive cost developments in both refining east and west as well as in Petrom marketing due to the ongoing restructuring efforts and FX effects.

First quarter 2009 (Q1/09)
- X Higher sales volumes and result for gas supply, marketing and trading business compared to Q1/08
- X Storage business positively affected by Russian/Ukrainian gas dispute
- X Result of Petrom's fertilizer plant Doljchim was affected by low demand
EBIT decreased by 4% compared to Q1/08 as EconGas was burdened by lower prices in Q1/09 and due to a weak result of Doljchim. This was partially compensated by better results at Petrom. Clean EBIT was down 2%.
Q1/09 started with the full cut back of the Russian natural gas deliveries. This challenge was successfully managed by the business unit gas supply, marketing and trading, especially EconGas. The Romanian market was particularly affected by the Russian/Ukrainian dispute and, besides effects resulting from the economic crisis led to a significant decrease in total Romanian consumption in Q1/09 compared to the same period last year. Despite this, total sales volumes supported by low temperatures at the beginning of the year and the consistent internationalization strategy of EconGas, increased by 11% in comparison to Q1/08 and resulted in a higher EBIT than last year.
EconGas sales volumes were up 22% compared to Q1/08. A substantial part of this growth can be attributed to volumes sold outside of Austria, which increased by 28% compared to Q1/08. Also low temperatures supported the volumes as, unlike the warm periods experienced during the previous two years, Q1/09 saw more typical winter
temperatures. Being linked to and lagging behind the oil price development, gas prices decreased in Q1/09, thus negatively affecting the results. Currently, the economic downturn has no significant impact on EconGas sales volumes.
In Romania, the import price in USD increased by 30% compared to Q1/08, the average regulated domestic gas price for producers (relevant for Petrom) in Q1/09 was USD 151/1,000 cbm (RON 495/1,000 cbm), 24% lower compared to Q1/08 due to a weaker RON (however 2% higher in RON terms). The lower sales volumes compared to Q1/08 (down by 6%) were due to decreased gas consumption in Romania. On the one hand this is the result of the shutdown of the major fertilizer plants and reduced industrial demand due to the economic crisis. On the other hand, this resulted from the aforementioned interruption of Russian gas supplies: The interruption led to the substitution of heavy fuel oil in place of natural gas in electricity production and district heating. The lower import quota and storage optimization heavily pushed the result.
In logistics, the storage business experienced due to the gas crisis at the beginning of 2009 withdrawal rates and volumes booked at higher levels than in Q1/08. The transportation business reported marketed transportation volumes at levels above Q1/08 due to the start-up of a new compressor station on the TAG pipeline in Q4/08. During the Russian/Ukrainian gas dispute the logistics business provided technical solutions to secure the physical gas flows in Austria.
Doljchim, Petrom's fertilizer plant, was affected by lower sales volumes and prices due to reduced demand, both in the domestic and international markets. Also continuous stops had negative effects on the result.
The construction of the Brazi power plant continued in Q1/09 according to the schedule. The technical assistance and project management contract for the grid connection was concluded with Transelectrica and the updated construction authorization was issued.
Compared to Q4/08, clean EBIT rose by 4% mainly due to the good performance of the gas supply, marketing and trading business, where EconGas was able to increase the
sales volumes. Reported EBIT even increased by 21% since Q4/08 was burdened by litigation provisions in Petrom. EconGas improved its total sales volumes in Q1/09 by 20% compared to Q4/08. This increase can be traced back to the low temperatures in the first quarter. Apart from that, drivers for growth were again sales made outside of Austria, which increased by 29%. In Romania, Petrom consolidated sales volumes increased by 6%, despite a general decrease of industrial production due to the economic downturn. The lower import quota and storage optimization resulted in better margins compared to Q4/08. The logistics business experienced slightly higher marketed transportation volumes due to a stronger demand on the HAG pipeline. The storage business saw the expected winter peak demand in volumes as well as the seasonal peak in withdrawal rates. EBIT recorded by Doljchim in Q1/09 was significantly higher, as Q4/08 was adversely affected by the booking of the litigation provision. Clean EBIT of Doljchim was slightly below Q4/08 due to lower product prices.

Notes to the income statement
First quarter 2009 (Q1/09)
With a decrease of 28%, consolidated sales are well below the corresponding figure of Q1/08, mainly driven by lower oil and product prices. R&M represented 66% of total consolidated sales, G&P accounted for 29% and E&P for approximately 5% (sales in E&P being largely intra-group sales rather than third party sales).
The Group's reported EBIT was EUR 266 mn, well below Q1/08 (EUR 795 mn) mainly due to lower oil prices and negative CCS effects in refining. Petrom group's EBIT was EUR 77 mn, considerably below Q1/08 (EUR 277 mn), also due to the lower oil prices and negative CCS effects in refining.
In Q1/09, net special income of EUR 8 mn mainly related to the sale of tail-end filling stations in Austria. Additionally, net special charges relating to a EUR 37 mn loss on the sale of the MOL stake were recorded in the financial result. This sale was closed in Q2/09.
In Q1/09, negative CCS effects of EUR 82 mn were recorded. CCS revalues crude input in refining on the basis of the current price of purchased crude oil and thus eliminates the impact of stockpiling and volatile oil prices.
Clean CCS EBIT decreased by 54% to EUR 340 mn; the contribution of Petrom to the Group's clean CCS EBIT was EUR 93 mn, well below last year's level (EUR 246 mn).
The net financial result of EUR (88) mn was significantly below Q1/08 (EUR (22) mn). The financial result was adversely affected by a substantially lower at-equity result of Borealis that was burdened by reduced market demand caused by the economic downturn and stock revaluation effects. The Petrol Ofisi at-equity result was negatively impacted by the depreciation of the TRY against the USD. Additionally a EUR (37) mn loss related to the sale of the MOL stake was recorded.
Current taxes on Group income of EUR 75 mn and expenses from deferred taxes of EUR 15 mn were
recognized in Q1/09. The effective tax rate in Q1/09 was 50% (Q1/08: 27%). This sizeable increase mainly reflects the tax effect related to the new contracts in Libya, which came into effect in Q3/08, the one-off effect related to the non-tax-deductible loss on the sale of MOL and a significantly lower profit contribution from net-of-tax atequity investments.
Net income after minorities (i.e. net income attributable to own shareholders) was EUR 40 mn, compared to EUR 446 mn in Q1/08. Minority interest was EUR 48 mn. Clean CCS net income after minorities was EUR 126 mn (Q1/08: EUR 419 mn). EPS after minorities for the quarter was EUR 0.14 and clean CCS EPS after minorities was at EUR 0.42 (Q1/08: EUR 1.49 and EUR 1.40 respectively).
Compared to Q4/08, sales decreased by 26%, mainly driven by lower crude and product prices that were partly compensated by higher gas sales volumes. EBIT was EUR 266 mn, well above the previous quarter (Q4/08: EUR (129) mn) that was burdened by considerable net special charges. In Q1/09, clean CCS EBIT decreased by 57% compared to Q4/08, mainly related to lower oil prices, lower marketing volumes and margins, a worsening petrochemicals market environment and reduced lifting activities. The net financial result was well above Q4/08 due to the improved, although still negative, contribution from Borealis and Petrol Ofisi to the at-equity result. Current taxes on Group income were EUR 75 mn and expenses from deferred taxes of EUR 15 mn were recognized in Q1/09. The effective tax rate in Q1/09 was 50% (Q4/08: (29)%). This high effective tax rate in Q1/09 mainly reflects the one-off effect related to the non-taxdeductible loss on the sale of MOL. In addition, significant high-taxed E&P results and negative profit contribution from net-of-tax at-equity investments have still an increasing effect on the effective tax rate of the Group. Net income after minorities was at EUR 40 mn substantially above Q4/08 (EUR (208) mn). Clean CCS net income after minorities has declined to EUR 126 mn (Q4/08: EUR 302 mn).

Notes to the balance sheet as of March 31, 2009
Capital expenditure reflects the announced reduction in investment due to the current challenging environment and therefore decreased to EUR 605 mn (Q1/08: EUR 815 mn). Substantially lower CAPEX in the E&P as well as R&M segment were partly compensated by higher CAPEX in the G&P and Corporate and other (Co&O) segment.
E&P invested EUR 380 mn (Q1/08: EUR 628 mn) mainly in field developments in New Zealand, Romania, Austria, the UK, Kazakhstan and Yemen. CAPEX in the R&M segment amounted to EUR 86 mn (Q1/08: EUR 144 mn); this comprised mainly investments in quality enhancement projects in Austria and Romania as well as the remodeling of filling stations. CAPEX in the G&P segment of EUR 113 mn (Q1/08: EUR 27 mn) related mainly to investments regarding the construction of a power plant in Brazi, Romania, and the WAG pipeline expansion project. CAPEX in the Co&O segment was EUR 26 mn (Q1/08: EUR 16 mn). This increase can be attributed to investments in the new Petrom Headoffice, "Petrom City", in Bucharest.
Compared to year-end 2008, total assets decreased by EUR 363 mn or 1.7% to EUR 21,013 mn. This slight reduction was mainly composed of a decrease in inventories by EUR 398 mn and in cash and cash equivalents by EUR 346 mn, which was partially offset by an increase in other financial assets by EUR 529 mn. That increase was primarily caused by the value of the stake in MOL, which was raised to the sales price of EUR 1,400 mn. The MOL investment, which was reported in other
non-current financial assets at year-end 2008, was derecognized in Q1/09; as of March 31, 2009, the sales price receivable is included in other current financial assets. The cash inflow from the sales transaction was received on April 9, 2009 after the termination of the last short-term financing transaction ("Sale and Repurchase Agreement") in connection with the MOL shares.
Equity increased by approximately 5%, which mainly reflects the revaluation (EUR +579 mn) of the MOL stake to the sales price. The Group's equity ratio thus increased to 47% at March 31, 2009 compared with 44% at the end of 2008.
The total number of own shares held by the Company amounted to 1,237,875 as of March 31, 2009 (December 31, 2008: 1,252,899).
As of March 31, 2009, short- and long-term borrowings and bonds (for further details please see notes to cash flows and subsequent events) stood at EUR 3,690 mn (December 31, 2008: EUR 4,148 mn) while cash and cash equivalents (including current securities and investments) decreased to EUR 355 mn (December 31, 2008: EUR 700 mn). OMV therefore decreased its net debt position to EUR 3,336 mn, compared to EUR 3,448 mn at the end of 2008.
As of March 31, 2009, the gearing ratio stood at 33.9% (December 31, 2008: 36.8%).

Notes to the cash flows
In Q1/09, free cash flow (defined as net cash from operating activities less net cash used in investing activities) showed an inflow of funds of EUR 248 mn (Q1/08: EUR 237 mn). Dividends of EUR 13 mn were paid out in Q1/09 to non-controlling interests (Q1/08: no dividend payments). Free cash flow less dividend payments resulted in a cash inflow of EUR 234 mn (Q1/08: EUR 237 mn).
The inflow of funds from net income, adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, net change of provisions, noncash income from investments and other positions, was EUR 398 mn (Q1/08: EUR 770 mn); net working capital generated an additional cash inflow of EUR 517 mn (Q1/08: EUR 43 mn).
Cash flow from investing activities (outflow of EUR 668 mn; Q1/08: EUR 577 mn) mainly includes payments for investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. Cash flow from financing activities reflected an outflow of funds amounting to EUR 591mn (Q1/08: outflow of funds of EUR 270 mn), mainly resulting from repayments of long-term and short-term financing. The net repayments of long-term debt include the repayment of a credit line for the sum of EUR 850 mn as well as an increase of EUR 555 mn resulting from the issue of German loan notes (Schuldscheindarlehen).
Cash flows resulting from the sale of the MOL shares and from the Eurobond issue became effective in April 2009.

Dividends
No dividends were paid to OMV shareholders in Q1/09. For the year 2008, a dividend payment of EUR 1.00 per share will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting, which will be held on May 13, 2009. This represents a reduction of 20% compared to the dividend for 2007 and is consistent
with our conservative financing structure in the far more challenging market environment which we currently face. Dividend payments to minorities amounted to EUR 13 mn in Q1/09.

Economic environment: Oil prices and exchange rates
The latest IEA oil market report estimates world crude oil demand at 83.8 mn bbl/d in Q1/09 — down by 3.2 mn bbl/d or 3.7% year on year. The fall in OECD demand was especially sharp at 2.6 mn bbl/d and 5.3%. Non-OECD oil use was down by 0.6 mn bbl/d, with about half of the drop attributable to lower Chinese demand. Global oil production was 83.9 mn bbl/d in Q1/09, meaning that supply exceeded demand, and the usual seasonal inventory drawdown did not take place. OPEC production (excluding 4.7 mn bbl/d of NGL) was 28.3 mn bbl/d. The cutback in the organization's output thus matched the global demand decline. Above-average production cuts of over 10% came from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Nigeria and Venezuela.
The average Brent price in Q1/09 was USD 44.46/bbl — 54% down on the USD 96.71/bbl recorded in Q1/08. Brent crude traded at USD 40/bbl at the start of the year. Prices only dipped below this level briefly in mid-February. Spot Brent mainly ranged between USD 40–50/bbl during Q1/09, but the USD 50 mark was not reached until the end of March. The average Urals price in Q1/09 was USD 43.73/bbl, 53% below Q1/08.
As with other commodities, the current situation on the crude and product markets is being driven by a much more precipitous drop in demand than previously anticipated. OECD inventories are up by about 7% year on year, weighing on prices. OPEC's free production capacity has risen to 5.5 mn bbl/d. As non-OPEC output is expected to be little changed this year the challenge of adjusting production will largely fall to the organization. The market climate has also taken a turn for the worse in downstream, and Rotterdam prices for the main product groups were off by 40–50% year on year in the first quarter.
The USD came under some selling pressure after the Federal Reserve slashed the target federal funds rate to a historic low of 0–0.25% in mid-December 2008. However, the average EUR-USD exchange rate in the first quarter was 1.303, compared to 1.498 in Q1/08 — a 13% gain for the USD. The Romanian Leu (RON) weakened in Q1/09 against the EUR to an average of 4.268/EUR, 16% below Q1/08.

Stock watch
After a weak performance – below the market trend – in Q4/08, the OMV share price experienced a very strong rebound in Q1/09, supported by a recovering oil price and particularly after announcement of OMV's full year results in the end of February. After reaching its quarterly low of EUR 18.02 on January 23, the share price started to rise steadily and reached a high of EUR 25.20 on March 31. Thus, overall, the price for OMV shares on the Vienna Stock Exchange increased by 35% in Q1/09,
outperforming most of its peers and the general market trend. International financial markets showed a different picture with a weaker performance of the FTSEurofirst 100 (down by 15%), the Dow Jones (down by 13%) and the Nikkei (down by 7%). The Austrian lead index ATX lost 3% during Q1/09. The FTSE Global Energy Index (composed of the largest oil and gas companies worldwide) declined by 10%.
