Report January – March 2015

including interim financial statements as of March 31, 2015

  • Brent oil price down by 50% vs. Q1/14 to USD 54/bbl impacting Group results
  • Q1/15: Clean CCS EBIT at EUR 333 mn, clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders at EUR 237 mn
  • Downstream clean CCS EBIT increased to EUR 260 mn in Q1/15 from EUR 85 mn in Q1/14
  • Production at 303 kboe/d in Q1/15; production in Romania increased by approx. 2% vs. Q1/14
  • Capital expenditure at EUR 707 mn in Q1/15 down by 5% vs. Q1/14

Gerhard Roiss, CEO of OMV:

"In the first quarter of 2015, we benefited from our integrated business model as Downstream delivered a very strong result. This was driven by the optimized refining business which was able to fully benefit from the favorable margin environment. The Group's performance, however, was weighed down by the substantial decrease in oil prices and the ongoing security issues in Libya and Yemen. Upstream focused on reducing investments and continued to concentrate on delivering projects in execution. Efforts on reducing operating costs in Upstream already showed the first results in Q1/15. In Exploration, we remain committed to our activities at our prospects in the Black Sea and in Norway. The first restructuring steps have been taken after merging Gas and Power and Refining and Marketing into a combined Business Segment Downstream. The introduction of a program called Fit4Fifty aims to make OMV fit for a potentially prolonged low oil price environment. The key points of this program involve cost as well as capital expenditure reductions."

From January 1, 2015, the Business Segment Exploration and Production was renamed Upstream.

First quarter 2015 (Q1/15) vs. first quarter 2014 (Q1/14)

  • Sharp decline in oil prices negatively impacted the result in Q1/15
  • Production costs decreased by 13% supported by favorable FX-rates
  • Production in Romania increased by approximately 2%

In Q1/15, the average Brent price in USD was 50% lower than in Q1/14. The Group's average realized crude price decreased by 53% while the average realized gas price in USD/1,000 cf decreased by 18% compared to Q1/14.

Clean EBIT strongly decreased to EUR 33 mn, mainly driven by lower oil prices and lower oil sales volumes in Norway, due to the lifting schedule, and in Libya, due to security issues which affected production volumes. These effects were offset only to a certain extent by a favorable EUR-USD FX-rate development. Exploration expenses decreased to EUR 61 mn from EUR 76 mn in Q1/14. Net special items of EUR (4) mn led to a reported EBIT of EUR 29 mn, 95% lower than the level of Q1/14 (EUR 601 mn).

Production costs excluding royalties (OPEX) in USD/boe were 13% lower than in Q1/14, mainly due to the favorable EUR-USD FX-rate. OPEX in USD/boe at OMV Petrom decreased by 16%, driven mainly by the advantageous RON-USD FX-rate development. Additionally, the reduction of material and service costs in Romania, Tunisia and New Zealand and the reduction of the construction tax in Romania from 1.5% to 1.0% supported the OPEX development. OMV Group's total exploration expenditure increased by 63% compared to Q1/14, to EUR 151 mn, mainly reflecting higher activity levels at the Neptun block in the Romanian Black Sea.

Total OMV daily production of oil, NGL and gas was 303 kboe/d. This was lower by 3% compared to Q1/14, driven by production shut-ins in Libya due to security issues, which could not be fully compensated by the higher production levels in Norway due to the contribution from the Gudrun field. OMV Petrom's total daily oil and gas production increased by 1% compared to the level in Q1/14, supported by 2% higher production volumes in Romania. Total OMV daily oil and NGL production decreased by 7%, particularly reflecting the production shut-ins in Libya. Total OMV daily gas production increased by 2% vs. Q1/14, mainly due to the contribution from Romania and Norway. Total sales quantity decreased by 11%, predominantly related to lower sales volumes from Norway and Libya.

First quarter 2015 (Q1/15) vs. fourth quarter 2014 (Q4/14)

Clean EBIT decreased by 87%, mainly driven by the sharp decrease in oil prices. Additionally, lower sales volumes, especially oil, negatively influenced the result. Exploration expenses slightly decreased to EUR 61 mn, compared to EUR 64 mn in Q4/14. Total daily production decreased by 5%, mainly as a result of technical issues leading to an approximate one-month shut-in at the Gudrun field in Norway, and the production shut-ins in Libya. Daily oil and NGL production decreased by 8%, due to lower levels from Libya and Norway. Daily gas production decreased by 1%, mainly due to lower volumes from Norway. Overall sales volumes decreased by 13% compared to Q4/14, as a result of the lifting schedule in Norway and Tunisia, as well as lower sales volumes in Libya and Austria.

From January 1, 2015, a combined Business Segment Downstream was created, merging Gas and Power with Refining and Marketing. Additionally, the

businesses were renamed as follows: Gas and Power to Downstream Gas, Refining and Marketing to Downstream Oil.

1 Current cost of supply (CCS): Clean CCS figures exclude special items and inventory holding gains/losses (CCS effects) resulting from the fuels refineries and OMV Petrol Ofisi

2 As of Q3/14, the standard yield for the calculation of the OMV indicator refining margin has been updated following the finalization of the Petrobrazi modernization program. Previously reported figures were not adjusted accordingly

3 Calculated based on West European Contract Prices (WECP)

4 After the finalization of the Petrobrazi refinery modernization, the opportunity was taken to demonstrate the maximum throughput of the refineries based on a timeframe of the best 30 consecutive days. As a result, OMV's total annual refining capacity has been updated from 17.4 mn t to 17.8 mn t as of Q1/15. Previously reported figures were not adjusted accordingly

5 As of Q1/15, this KPI reflects only third-party volumes and excludes trading volumes. Historical figures were adjusted accordingly

First quarter 2015 (Q1/15) vs. first quarter 2014 (Q1/14)

Strong refining result driven by significantly increased refining margins and higher utilization rate

Stable marketing performance, despite challenges in Turkey

Improved Downstream Gas result supported by higher natural gas sales volumes and margin

The clean CCS EBIT increased significantly to EUR 260 mn vs. EUR 85 mn in Q1/14 driven by the strong performance of the refining business. Net special items at the amount of EUR 9 mn were recognized in Q1/15, mainly coming from a reduction of a provision for onerous contracts related to contracted long-term LNG and transport capacity bookings in EconGas. Decreased crude prices over the quarter contributed to negative CCS effects of EUR (51) mn, which led to a reported EBIT of EUR 217 mn.

The Downstream Oil clean CCS EBIT strongly increased to EUR 205 mn reflecting the significantly higher refining result, especially from the western refineries. The OMV indicator refining margin increased significantly from USD 1.63/bbl in Q1/14 to USD 7.45/bbl, mainly due to lower costs for own crude consumption, better product spreads and the adaption of the standard yield in Petrobrazi as of Q3/14 (OMV indicator refining margin West from USD 2.58/bbl in Q1/14 to USD 7.19/bbl in Q1/15; OMV indicator refining margin East from USD (2.41)/bbl in Q1/14 to USD 8.24/bbl in Q1/15). Total refined product sales were lower compared to the respective period of last year, mainly reflecting the completed sale of the 45%-stake in the Bayernoil refinery network in June 2014. Overall, the refinery utilization rate increased to a strong 92% in Q1/15 (89% in Q1/14). At EUR 32 mn, the clean petrochemicals EBIT was lower compared to the EUR 42 mn in Q1/14, driven by lower margins.

The contribution from Borealis (which is accounted for at-equity and therefore shown in the financial result of OMV Group) increased by EUR 13 mn to EUR 50 mn in Q1/15, mainly driven by a better fertilizer business and an increased contribution from Borouge.

The clean marketing EBIT was at the same level as in Q1/14, as the positive effects from the better market environment, influenced mainly by the decrease in oil prices, were offset by the ongoing regulatory intervention in Turkey. Overall marketing sales volumes decreased slightly by 3% vs. Q1/14. The increase in the sales volumes in all our markets could almost completely compensate the above-mentioned sale of the 45% stake in Bayernoil.

The Downstream Gas clean EBIT increased by 51% to EUR 55 mn in Q1/15, mainly due to the improved result of the supply, marketing and trading business. Natural gas sales volumes increased by 9% to 38.00 TWh, mostly as a result of higher volumes in Romania (higher volumes for the regulated market and to the fertilizer industry). Overall, the natural gas sales margin was above the level of Q1/14. The weak spark spreads led to a 43% decrease in net electrical output to 1.02 TWh in Q1/15 vs. 1.78 TWh in Q1/14. The contribution of the gas transportation business in Austria decreased due to the spin-off of the TAG pipeline operations in Q4/14.

First quarter 2015 (Q1/15) vs. fourth quarter 2014 (Q4/14)

Clean CCS EBIT Downstream increased by 14% to EUR 260 mn, mainly due to higher contribution from the refining business which more than offset the lower contribution of the marketing business.

At EUR 205 mn, the Downstream Oil clean CCS EBIT was higher in Q1/15 than the EUR 187 mn in Q4/14, driven mainly by the considerably increased OMV indicator refining margin as a consequence of improved naphtha, gasoline and middle distillate spreads as well as lower crude prices, which led to lower costs for own crude consumption. The petrochemicals result improved to EUR 32 mn, driven by increased sales volumes after turnaround activities in the Burghausen refinery in Q4/14. The marketing business saw the expected seasonal decrease in sales volumes, with margins also being slightly lower. The performance of OMV Petrol Ofisi was negatively impacted by regulatory intervention in Turkey.

The Downstream Gas Clean EBIT increased to EUR 55 mn in Q1/15 vs. EUR 41 mn in Q4/14. Natural gas sales volumes increased by 15% to 38.00 TWh, mainly due to seasonally higher volumes in Austria and Romania, although the margin remained at a low level. Net electrical output decreased by 41% from 1.71 TWh in Q4/14 to 1.02 TWh in Q1/15 triggered by decreased average spark spreads. The gas transportation business in Austria recorded a slightly higher result.

Outlook

Mid-term guidance

In order to reflect the significant decline of the oil price together with the unpredictability of our Libyan production, we have scaled back our investment program. The guidance for the average Group CAPEX for the period 2015-2017 is at approximately EUR 2.5 to 3.0 bn p.a. with roughly 80% being directed to Upstream. While we remain committed to the major projects expected to contribute to our previously stated 2016 production target of ~400 kboe/d, the changes to the investment program will inevitably lead to a delay in reaching this production level. Our target remains to achieve a broadly neutral free cash flow after dividends over the medium term. The revisions to the investment program support us in this objective. ROACE performance in the mid-term will be adversely affected by capital invested in field development projects which are not yet producing, as well as by the low oil price. We remain committed to our long-term gearing ratio target of ≤30% and to our dividend policy (long-term payout ratio target of 30%).

Market environment

For the year 2015, OMV expects the Brent oil price to average between USD 50 to 60/bbl. The Brent-Urals spread is anticipated to stay relatively tight. The gas market environment is expected to remain highly challenging. In 2015, refining margins are expected to come down from the recent highs, due to persisting overcapacity in European markets. In the petrochemical business, margins are anticipated to remain at similar levels to 2014. Due to the decreased oil price, lower product prices are expected to support the demand in the marketing business. The marketing business in Turkey is expected to be further negatively affected by ongoing regulatory intervention.

Group

  • CAPEX for 2015 is expected to be around EUR 2.7 bn
  • OMV has started a program to ensure the company's fitness for a potentially prolonged low oil price environment by implementing cost cutting measures and capital expenditure reductions
  • To partly protect the Group's cash flow from the potential negative impact of lower oil prices for the period of July 2015 through June 2016, OMV entered into oil price hedges for a volume of 50,000 bbl/d of the Upstream oil production. The Group secured via a zero premium collar program a Brent price floor of USD 55/bbl by giving away the upside above USD ~68/bbl throughout July to December 2015, above USD ~73/bbl through January to March 2016, and above USD ~82/bbl through April to June 2016

Upstream

  • Production in Libya and Yemen is expected to be affected for the rest of the year due to the critical security situation. Excluding these two countries, we expect total production for 2015 to average approximately 300 kboe/d. In Romania and Austria, production is expected to come in at the lower end of the targeted production range of 200-210 kboe/d. Production in Romania increased to the level of 174 kboe/d in Q1/15; the full year average is expected to be lower, given planned workovers at key wells in the second half of the year, as well as the impact of reduced investment levels
  • In Norway, the combined production from Gudrun and Gullfaks fields stood at ~35 kboe/d in 2014 and is expected to increase as additional wells at the Gudrun field are expected to come on stream this year. After the technical issues in Q1/15, Gudrun production has now returned to normal capacity
  • Following "first oil" at the Maari Growth project, production in New Zealand is expected to continue to increase as additional wells are planned to be drilled at Maari by mid-2015
  • Upstream capital expenditure for 2015 is expected to be roughly 80% of total Group CAPEX and includes the following major investment projects: Gullfaks, Aasta Hansteen, Edvard Grieg and Gudrun in Norway, field redevelopments in Romania, Nawara in Tunisia and Schiehallion in the UK
  • In the Neptun block (Romanian Black Sea) drilling continues as planned, with Pelican South-1 exploration well finalized in March 2015, and Dolphin-1 exploration well completed early May 2015. Since then, the drilling rig has been moved to a new drilling location. Additional exploration targets will be considered for 2015. The results of drilling so far, together with data from the forthcoming exploration activities, will be used for the evaluation of the consolidated block potential
  • Exploration and appraisal expenditure will be around EUR 0.5 bn in 2015. High impact wells planned for 2015 are expected to be drilled in Romania (Black Sea) and Norway (Barents Sea and the Norwegian Sea)

Downstream

  • First steps of the restructuring of the Downstream Business Segment have been implemented by merging support functions and implementation of a streamlined integrated management structure for Downstream. Further planning and gradual implementation of the full integration are being performed
  • The review of the gas and power asset portfolio (including divestment options) will be finalized in the first half of the year 2015
  • The optimized asset structure including the finalized modernization of the Petrobrazi refinery and the sale of the Bayernoil stake enhanced the stable profit and cash contribution from the refining business, which will be reflected in the 2015 performance
  • No major refinery shutdowns are planned in 2015
  • The ongoing regulatory intervention in Turkey is expected to further negatively affect OMV Petrol Ofisi's profitability
  • After agreements with major gas suppliers were concluded, long-term gas supply contracts now reflect prevailing market conditions, however, gas sales margins are expected to remain on low levels
  • Spark spreads in Romania and Turkey are expected to remain weak
  • Due to the restructured setup in the gas transportation business implemented in 2014, result contribution in 2015 is expected to stabilize at a lower level

Notes to the income statement

First quarter 2015 (Q1/15) vs. first quarter 2014 (Q1/14)

Consolidated sales decreased by 41% vs. Q1/14, mainly due to lower Downstream sales. The Group's reported EBIT was at EUR 228 mn, below Q1/14 (EUR 675 mn), mainly driven by a lower Upstream result due to the significant decline in oil prices, only partly offset by the lower EUR-USD FX-rate and the strong Downstream result supported by a substantially increased refining contribution. OMV Petrom group's reported EBIT was at EUR 111 mn, below Q1/14 (EUR 327 mn), mainly due to lower oil prices. Net special items of EUR 4 mn were recorded in Q1/15, mainly resulting from a reduction of a provision for onerous contracts, related to contracted long-term LNG and transport capacity bookings of EconGas and personnel related costs. Negative CCS effects of EUR (109) mn were recognized in Q1/15 due to the decrease of oil prices. Clean CCS EBIT decreased from EUR 668 mn in Q1/14 to EUR 333 mn. OMV Petrom's contribution to the Group's clean CCS EBIT was EUR 133 mn, 59% lower vs. Q1/14. The net financial result of EUR (23) mn in Q1/15 improved compared to the EUR (63) mn reported in Q1/14, mainly due to lower interest expenses and higher income from equity-accounted investments.

Current taxes on Group income of EUR (44) mn and deferred taxes of EUR 60 mn were recognized in Q1/15. The effective tax rate in Q1/15 was (8)% (Q1/14: 29%), mainly due to the reduction of deferred tax liabilities following the planned decrease of corporate tax rates from 62% to 50% in the United Kingdom.

Net income attributable to stockholders was EUR 163 mn vs. EUR 301 mn in Q1/14. Minority and hybrid interests were EUR 58 mn (Q1/14: EUR 137 mn). Clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders was EUR 237 mn (Q1/14: EUR 302 mn). EPS for the quarter was at EUR 0.50 and clean CCS EPS was at EUR 0.73 (Q1/14: EUR 0.92 and EUR 0.93 respectively).

First quarter 2015 (Q1/15) vs. fourth quarter 2014 (Q4/14)

Consolidated sales decreased by 24%, mainly due to lower sales volumes in Downstream. The Group's reported EBIT was at EUR 228 mn, significantly higher than in Q4/14 (EUR (424) mn), the latter being negatively impacted by a lower Downstream result due to the impairments in OMV Petrol Ofisi and the Brazi power plant. Clean CCS EBIT decreased by 39%, from EUR 545 mn in Q4/14 to EUR 333 mn. The net financial result was above the last quarter, mainly driven by higher income from equity-accounted investments.

The effective tax rate in Q1/15 was (8)% compared to 30% in Q4/14, driven by the reduction of deferred tax liabilities following the planned decrease of corporate tax rates from 62% to 50% in the United Kingdom. Net income attributable to stockholders was EUR 163 mn (Q4/14: EUR (308) mn). Clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders decreased to EUR 237 mn vs. EUR 348 mn in Q4/14.

Net working capital components in the cash flow statement generated a cash outflow of EUR 274 mn (Q1/14: EUR 108 mn), which led to a EUR 501 mn decrease in cash flow from operating activities as compared to Q1/14, reaching EUR 406 mn.

In Q1/15, net cash from investing activities resulted in an outflow of EUR 923 mn (Q1/14: EUR 881 mn), mainly related to investments in Romania and Norway.

Free cash flow (defined as net cash from operating activities less net cash used in investing activities) showed an outflow of funds of EUR 517 mn (Q1/14: inflow of EUR 26 mn). Free cash flow less dividend payments resulted in a cash outflow of EUR 517 mn (Q1/14: inflow of EUR 26 mn).

Cash flow from financing activities reflected a net inflow of funds amounting to EUR 434 mn (Q1/14: EUR 117 mn), mainly related to utilization of short-term money market lines, partially compensated by repayments of long-term debt and finance leases.

Additionally, the businesses were renamed as follows: Gas and Power to Downstream Gas, Refining and Marketing to Downstream Oil. The Business Segment Exploration and Production was renamed Upstream. Due to these organizational changes, the historical total intersegmental sales figures have been adjusted consequently.

Fair value measurement

Financial instruments recognized at fair value are disclosed according to the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

Level 1: Using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Using inputs for the asset or liability, other than quoted prices, that are observable either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: Using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data such as prices, but on internal models or other valuation methods.

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

With the exception of investments in other companies valued at cost, for which no reliable estimates of their fair values can be made, the carrying amounts of financial assets are the fair values.

Bonds and other interest-bearing debts amounting to EUR 5,726 mn (December 31, 2014: EUR 5,240 mn) are valued at amortized cost. The estimated fair value of these liabilities was EUR 6,326 mn (December 31, 2014: EUR 5,798 mn). The carrying amount of other financial liabilities is effectively the same as their fair value, as they are predominantly short-term.
