OMV Group Report January – September and Q3 2016

including interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016

  • Q3/16: Clean CCS EBIT at EUR 415 mn; clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders at EUR 447 mn
  • Positive free cash flow after dividends at EUR 239 mn in Q3/16
  • Upstream production of 301 kboe/d
  • Robust clean CCS EBIT contribution from Downstream Oil and Downstream Gas
  • Sale agreement for 49% stake in Gas Connect Austria signed
  • OMV divests its wholly owned Upstream subsidiary in the UK for up to USD 1 bn

Rainer Seele, CEO of OMV:

"OMV continues to deliver on its strategic targets. We further optimized our portfolio by selling a 49% stake in Gas Connect Austria, the gas transportation business. This will bring us sales proceeds of EUR 601 mn at closing in Q4/16. We also continued to optimize our North Sea portfolio. OMV signed an agreement for the sale of 100% of the shares in its wholly owned Upstream subsidiary, OMV UK, to Siccar Point Energy Limited for up to USD 1 bn.

In the third quarter, OMV also continued to stringently implement its cost reduction program. OMV will achieve cost reductions of EUR 100 mn in 2016 and EUR 150 mn in 2017. In Upstream, we continue to focus our investments on projects delivering profitable barrels. This enabled OMV to reduce its CAPEX program from the initially targeted EUR 2.4 bn to EUR 2.0 bn in 2016. In 2017, we now plan to invest EUR 2.2 bn, a decrease of EUR 200 mn.

All our efforts are reflected in OMV's resilient earnings development despite the continuously challenging market environment. OMV delivered a robust clean CCS EBIT of EUR 415 mn in Q3/16. Moreover, OMV generated a positive cash flow, with an operating cash flow of EUR 652 mn and a free cash flow of EUR 239 mn."

Group performance

Third quarter 2016 (Q3/16) vs. second quarter 2016 (Q2/16)

Consolidated sales increased by 14% vs. Q2/16, mainly due to higher Downstream Oil sales reflecting seasonally higher volumes as well as prices. Clean CCS EBIT increased from EUR 214 mn in Q2/16 to EUR 415 mn, driven by a higher Upstream and Downstream Oil result. The Upstream result benefited from a higher realized oil price and lower costs. Downstream Oil delivered a substantially increased result which was driven by the strong contribution from the retail and commercial businesses. OMV Petrom Group's clean CCS EBIT amounted to EUR 137 mn, above Q2/16 (EUR 49 mn), mainly due to higher Downstream Oil results and a positive effect in the consolidation line.

Net special items of EUR (350) mn were recorded in Q3/16 (EUR (608) mn in Q2/16). As OMV agreed to sell its wholly owned Upstream subsidiary in the UK to Siccar Point Energy, a pre-tax impairment of the disposal group in the amount of EUR 458 mn has been recognized in Q3/16. This impairment was partly offset by a write-up in the amount of EUR 116 mn, related to the ongoing divestment process of an Upstream asset in the Middle East and Africa region. Negative CCS effects of EUR (3) mn were recognized in Q3/16 (EUR 94 mn in Q2/16). The Group's reported EBIT equaled EUR 63 mn, higher than Q2/16 (EUR (300) mn). OMV Petrom's contribution to the Group's reported EBIT was EUR 131 mn, higher than in Q2/16 (EUR 46 mn).

The net financial result amounting to EUR 75 mn in Q3/16 improved by EUR 3 mn compared to last quarter. The result from Borealis remained strong and interest expenses decreased following the repayment of a bond at the end of Q2/16.

Taxes on Group income amounted to EUR (8) mn in Q3/16. The effective tax rate in Q3/16 was 6% (Q2/16: 49%).

Net income attributable to stockholders was EUR 48 mn vs. EUR (168) mn in Q2/16. Clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders was EUR 447 mn (Q2/16: EUR 222 mn). EPS for the quarter was at EUR 0.15 and clean CCS EPS was at EUR 1.37 (Q2/16: EUR (0.51) and EUR 0.68, respectively).

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 652 mn and was below the Q2/16 level (EUR 1,036 mn), mainly due to negative working capital effects which were primarily related in Q3/16 to seasonal increase of accounts receivable in Downstream Oil as well as inventories in Downstream Gas. Free cash flow after dividends amounted to EUR 239 mn (Q2/16: EUR 172 mn).

Third quarter 2016 (Q3/16) vs. Third quarter 2015 (Q3/15)

Consolidated sales decreased by 12% vs. Q3/15, mainly due to lower Downstream Oil sales reflecting lower product prices. Clean CCS EBIT decreased from EUR 495 mn in Q3/15 to EUR 415 mn. The improved results of the retail and commercial businesses as well as the higher Downstream Gas result, almost offset the sharp decline of the OMV indicator refining margin. OMV Petrom group's clean CCS EBIT was at EUR 137 mn, below Q3/15 (EUR 239 mn), as Q3/16 was negatively impacted by lower oil and gas prices. Negative net special items of EUR (350) mn were recorded in Q3/16 (EUR (1,073) mn in Q3/15), mainly related to the EUR 458 mn impairment of OMV's Upstream assets in the UK. This impairment was partly offset by a write-up in the amount of EUR 116 mn, related to the ongoing divestment process of an Upstream asset in the Middle East and Africa region. Negative CCS effects of EUR (3) mn were recognized in Q3/16 (EUR (149) mn in Q3/15). The Group's reported EBIT amounted to EUR 63 mn, higher than Q3/15 (EUR (728) mn). OMV Petrom's contribution to the Group's reported EBIT was EUR 131 mn, higher than Q3/15 (EUR 8 mn).

The net financial result of EUR 75 mn in Q3/16 increased significantly compared to EUR 9 mn in Q3/15. This development was sustained by a higher contribution from Borealis as well as an improved foreign exchange result.

Taxes on Group income amounted to EUR (8) mn in Q3/16. The effective tax rate in Q3/16 was 6% (Q3/15: 36%).

Net income attributable to stockholders was EUR 48 mn vs. EUR (456) mn in Q3/15. Clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders amounted to EUR 447 mn (Q3/15: EUR 367 mn). EPS for the quarter equaled EUR 0.15 and clean CCS EPS amounted to EUR 1.37 (Q3/15: EUR (1.40) and EUR 1.13, respectively).

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 652 mn and was below Q3/15 (EUR 1,135 mn). This development was mainly due to cash outflows from net working capital. Free cash flow after dividends amounted to EUR 239 mn (Q3/15: EUR 524 mn).

Capital expenditure decreased to EUR 1,359 mn in 9m/16 (9m/15: EUR 1,997 mn).

Upstream invested EUR 997 mn in 9m/16 compared to EUR 1,702 mn in 9m/15. CAPEX in Downstream amounted to EUR 357 mn (9m/15: EUR 282 mn), of which EUR 328 mn was invested in Downstream Oil (9m/15: EUR 249 mn) and EUR 29 mn in Downstream Gas (9m/15: EUR 33 mn). CAPEX in the Corporate & Other amounted to EUR 5 mn (9m/15: EUR 13 mn).

Compared to year-end 2015, total assets decreased by EUR 1,522 mn to EUR 31,142 mn mainly as a result of a lower derivatives position as well as a reduction of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment as of September 30, 2016.

Equity decreased by 2% in comparison to December 31, 2015. The Group's equity ratio increased to 45% as of September 30, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015 (44%).

The cash position increased to EUR 1,748 mn (December 31, 2015: EUR 1,348 mn).

In 9m/16, inflow of funds from net income, adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, net change in long-term provisions, non-cash income from investments and other positions was EUR 2,149 mn (9m/15: EUR 2,579 mn). Net working capital components in the cash flow statement generated a cash inflow of EUR 118 mn (9m/15: cash outflow of EUR 179 mn); the positive impact resulted primarily from lower inventories and higher trade payables. Cash flow from operating activities decreased by EUR 133 mn, compared to 9m/15, reaching EUR 2,267 mn.

In 9m/16, net cash from investing activities resulted in an outflow of EUR 1,621 mn (9m/15: EUR 2,297 mn), mainly related to investments in Romania and Norway. This position also included cash outflows for the acquisition of FE-Trading GmbH and FE-Trading trgovina d.o.o. of EUR 57 mn, which reflects the cash consideration of EUR 26 mn paid to the seller and also trade and other financial liabilities amounting to EUR 31 mn. Cash outflow less cash acquired amounted to EUR 54 mn.

Free cash flow (defined as net cash from operating activities less net cash used in investing activities) showed an inflow of funds of EUR 645 mn (9m/15: EUR 103 mn). Free cash flow after dividends resulted in a cash inflow of EUR 266 mn (9m/15: outflow of EUR 426 mn).

Cash flow from financing activities reflected a net outflow of funds amounting to EUR 237 mn (9m/15: EUR 104 mn), following repayments of a bond and other long-term debt as well as payments of dividends and hybrid coupons during the period. These effects were partially compensated by drawings of new long- and short-term borrowings. This position also includes a cash inflow from contributions by former minority shareholders of EconGas GmbH in the amount of EUR 36 mn. The cash consideration paid for the remaining non-controlling interest in EconGas GmbH amounted to 3 Euro.

Risk management

As an international oil and gas company with operations extending from hydrocarbon exploration and production through trading and marketing of mineral products and gas, OMV is exposed to a variety of risks including market and financial risks, operational and strategic risks. A detailed description of risks and risk management activities can be found in the Annual Report 2015 (pages 31-33).

For 2016, the main uncertainties which can influence OMV Group's performance remain the commodity price risk, FX risk, operational risks and also political as well as regulatory risks. The commodity price risk is being monitored constantly and appropriate protective measures for the cash flow are taken, if required. The inherent exposure to safety and environmental risks is monitored through HSSE (Health, Safety, Security and Environment) and risk management programs, which have the clear commitment to maintain OMV's risks in line with industry standards.

See also the Outlook section of the Director's report below for more information on current risks.

Transactions with related parties

Please refer to the selected explanatory notes of the interim consolidated financial statements for disclosures on significant transactions with related parties.

Outlook for the full year 2016

Market environment

For the year 2016, OMV expects the average Brent oil price to be at USD 44/bbl. The Brent-Urals spread is anticipated to be wider than in recent years due to increased supply from Saudi Arabia and Iran. The gas market environment in Europe continues to be characterized by oversupply. However, gas prices on European spot markets are expected to show a seasonally upward trend in Q4/16 compared to Q3/16.

Group

  • CAPEX (incl. capitalized E&A) is expected to be around EUR 2 bn, thereof 75% in Upstream
  • Exploration and appraisal expenditure is expected to amount to EUR 360 mn
  • The Group expects to reach its goal of reducing costs of EUR 100 mn ahead of schedule already in 2016 (compared with 2015 as the basis). OMV has set a new cost reduction target of more than EUR 150 mn for 2017

Upstream

  • OMV expects total production to be slightly above 300 kboe/d
  • The combined production of Romania and Austria is expected to average slightly above 190 kboe/d. In Q4/16, OMV is finalizing an upgrade of surface facilities, including shut-ins at key wells, in the Totea Deep field in Romania
  • In Norway, average production is expected to increase to above 65 kboe/d due to additional volumes, resulting mainly from the ramp-up of Edvard Grieg and better performance from Gullfaks and Gudrun
  • OMV recently restarted production in two fields in the Sirte basin in Libya. Consequently, OMV expects to generate minor production volumes in Libya in Q4/16. Production in Yemen is not expected to restart during the year since the security situation remains critical
  • The sale of a 30% stake in the Rosebank field was closed on October 6, 2016, bringing OMV a cash inflow of USD 50 mn in Q4/16

Downstream

Oil

  • Refining margins in Q4/16 are projected to be above the Q3/16 level, along with an increase in middle distillates spreads
  • Capacity utilization in Q4/16 is expected to be above 90%. This is supported by the strong performance in all sales channels
  • Petrochemical volumes are expected to come in lower in Q4/16 vs. Q3/16 while petrochemical margins are expected to remain on a similar level
  • Demand from commercial and retail customers for mineral oil products will remain strong but decline seasonally in Q4/16
  • The sale of the Aliaga Terminal in Turkey is expected to be closed in Q4/16
  • The sale process of OMV's wholly owned subsidiary OMV Petrol Ofisi is progressing according to plan

Gas

  • Due to oversupply on the European gas market, natural gas sales margins are expected to remain at a similar level as in Q3/16
  • Downstream Gas does not anticipate any one-off gains in clean EBIT in Q4/16
  • The sale of OMV's 49% stake in Gas Connect Austria is expected to be closed in Q4/16. OMV will realize sale proceeds of EUR 601 mn at closing
  • The power business remains challenging in the core countries in Turkey and Romania

OMV expects Q4/16 clean CCS EBIT to be below the strong level in Q3/16. The main reasons are the seasonal decline in the Downstream Oil business compared to Q3/16. The previous quarter was supported by high product demand during the driving season. In addition, we do not anticipate any one-off gains in clean EBIT of Downstream Gas in Q4/16.

Third quarter 2016 (Q3/16) vs. second quarter 2016 (Q2/16)

  • Clean EBIT increased substantially to EUR 38 mn
  • Strict capital discipline resulted in continued low CAPEX and exploration expenditure
  • Cost savings initiatives led to a further decrease in OPEX in USD/boe

The average Brent price in USD was stable and the Group's average realized crude price was up by 12%, driven by the positive hedging result in the amount of EUR 26 mn. The average realized gas price in USD/1,000 cf decreased by 3%.

Total OMV daily production of oil, NGL and gas decreased by 5% to 301 kboe/d, mainly due to planned turnaround activities in the Norwegian fields Gullfaks and Gudrun. OMV Petrom's total daily oil and gas production declined by 2% to 174 kboe/d. Total sales volumes were 4% higher since part of Q2/16 production volumes were sold in Q3/16.

In spite lower production volumes, production costs excluding royalties (OPEX) in USD/boe declined further by 1%. This was mainly attributable to the ongoing cost saving initiatives. At OMV Petrom, OPEX decreased by 7% to USD 11.27/boe.

Clean EBIT increased substantially from break-even in Q2/16 to EUR 38 mn owing to a higher realized oil price in Q3/16. Exploration expenses dropped to EUR 57 mn vs. EUR 653 mn in Q2/16, which included impairments of exploration assets.

Negative special items recorded in the quarter amounted to EUR (357) mn. These are mainly related to the EUR 458 mn impairment of OMV's Upstream assets in the UK. This impairment was partly offset by a write-up in the amount of EUR 116 mn, related to the ongoing divestment process of an Upstream asset in the Middle East and Africa region. Reported EBIT amounted to EUR (319) mn (Q2/16: EUR (603) mn).

Capital expenditure in Upstream was slightly down at EUR 308 mn and primarily attributable to investments in Norway, Romania and Tunisia.

Exploration expenditure amounted to EUR 68 mn mainly reflecting activities in the North Sea region, in Bulgaria and Romania.

Third quarter 2016 (Q3/16) vs. third quarter 2015 (Q3/15)

  • Lower oil and gas prices negatively impacted clean EBIT
  • Production increased by 3%, driven by the ramp-up of the Edvard Grieg field in Norway
  • Reduced exploration activities led to 52% less exploration expenditure
  • Strict cost management coupled with higher production resulted in a 13% decrease in OPEX in USD/boe

In Q3/16, the average Brent price in USD was down by 9% mainly due to the oversupply in the oil market. The Group's average realized crude price decreased by 14%. This mirrored the development of the Brent price and was also impacted by the different crude mix. The average realized gas price in USD/1,000 cf decreased by 20% and followed the trend of European spot markets, where an oversupply situation still persisted. Realized prices were supported by a positive hedging result in the amount of EUR 26 mn, which was lower than in Q3/15 (EUR 62 mn).

Total OMV daily production of oil, NGL and gas increased by 3% to 301 kboe/d. Production in Norway was up significantly attributable to the Edvard Grieg field, which started production at the end of 2015. This increase was partly offset by lower production in Austria, Pakistan and New Zealand. OMV Petrom's total daily oil and gas production was stable at 174 kboe/d. Total sales volumes increased by 8% due to higher liftings in Norway.

At USD 11.42/boe, production costs excluding royalties (OPEX) in USD/boe were down by 13%, as a result of the successful implementation of the cost reduction program coupled with higher production. At OMV Petrom, OPEX decreased by 14% to USD 11.27/boe.

The decline in oil and gas prices led to a decrease in clean EBIT from EUR 52 mn to EUR 38 mn. The decrease in prices was partially offset by higher sales volumes as well as lower depreciation, production costs and exploration expenses. OMV Petrom contributed EUR 45 mn to clean EBIT. Exploration expenses dropped from EUR 353 mn to EUR 57 mn. The previous year's figure included impairments of exploration assets.

Capital expenditure in Upstream decreased from EUR 500 mn in Q3/15 to EUR 308 mn in Q3/16 as a result of the strict capital discipline.

OMV decreased its exploration expenditure by 52% to EUR 68 mn, reflecting lower activities across the entire portfolio in line with the revised exploration strategy.

Third quarter 2016 (Q3/16) vs. second quarter 2016 (Q2/16)

Downstream Oil increased substantially

Strong contribution from the retail and commercial businesses

Downstream Gas performed well again

Clean CCS EBIT increased from EUR 250 mn to EUR 377 mn in Q3/16, driven by a substantially higher result from Downstream Oil. Decreased crude prices over the quarter contributed to negative CCS effects of EUR (8) mn. This was compensated for by positive special items amounting to EUR 8 mn. Reported EBIT was EUR 378 mn.

After the planned turnaround activities in Q2/16, the utilization rate of the refineries was on a high level at 97% in Q3/16. The increased utilization has supported higher refined product sales amounting to 8.4 mn t (Q2/16: 7.7 mn t). The OMV indicator refining margin decreased from USD 4.7/bbl in Q2/16 to USD 3.7/bbl in Q3/16 mainly due to lower gasoline and naphtha spreads. The lower refining margin was more than offset by a strong contribution from the retail and commercial businesses. Sales volumes have increased seasonally and retail as well as commercial margins were higher, backed by strong customer demand for OMV's products. OMV Petrol Ofisi's performance was also seasonally strong with EUR 36 mn. The performance of the petrochemicals business strongly increased from EUR 57 mn to EUR 75 mn due to higher sales volumes and improved product spreads. Clean CCS EBIT of Downstream Oil increased substantially from EUR 178 mn to EUR 312 mn.

At EUR 65 mn, Downstream Gas again recorded a very good result. This included a one-time gain of EUR 22 mn, mainly related to the clearance of a contract. In comparison, the Q2/16 Downstream Gas clean EBIT amounted to EUR 72 mn, and included positive one-off effects of approximately EUR 40 mn. Natural gas sales volumes decreased by 9% to 22.19 TWh, mostly due to lower sales volumes in Austria. The contribution of the gas transportation business increased from EUR 30 mn in Q2/16 to EUR 36 mn. The power business remained challenging.

The contribution from Borealis, which is accounted for at-equity and shown in the financial result of the OMV Group, was strong at EUR 110 mn, supported by an improved performance of the base chemicals business, as well as a higher contribution from Borouge.

Capital expenditure in Downstream decreased to EUR 94 mn (Q2/16: EUR 171 mn). Downstream Oil accounted for EUR 73 mn.

Third quarter 2016 (Q3/16) vs. third quarter 2015 (Q3/15)

  • Downstream only 6% down despite substantially lower OMV indicator refining margin
  • Higher customer demand resulted in better retail and commercial volumes and margins
  • Downstream Gas result clearly up, largely driven by restructuring efforts

Clean CCS EBIT decreased by 6% to EUR 377 mn, driven mainly by the lower contribution of Downstream Oil, which was partly offset by a higher Downstream Gas result.

In Downstream Oil, the OMV indicator refining margin decreased by 53% from USD 7.8/bbl in Q3/15 to USD 3.7/bbl in Q3/16, largely due to lower gasoline and middle distillate spreads. This effect was almost compensated by a higher refinery utilization rate of 97% in Q3/16 (93% in Q3/15) as well as higher volumes and better margins in the retail and commercial businesses. At EUR 36 mn, OMV Petrol Ofisi made a stable contribution to earnings. The clean petrochemicals EBIT declined from EUR 110 mn to EUR 75 mn, as a consequence of lower propylene and ethylene margins. Despite the substantial drop in the OMV indicator refining margin, Downstream Oil clean CCS EBIT only declined by 27% to EUR 312 mn.

At EUR 65 mn, the Downstream Gas clean EBIT was up by EUR 93 mn largely driven by restructuring efforts. In addition, the result was supported by a higher valuation on forward contracts as well as a one-off effect in the amount of EUR 22 mn related to the clearance of a contract. Natural gas sales volumes increased by 9% to 22.19 TWh, mostly due to higher sales volumes in Austria. The contribution of the gas transportation business increased from EUR 31 mn in Q3/15 to EUR 36 mn, mainly due to lower costs. The power business remained challenging.

Borealis, which is accounted for at-equity and shown in the financial result of the OMV Group, generated a strong result of EUR 110 mn in Q3/16 (EUR 93 mn in Q3/15). This was largely attributable to a better polyolefin business. The contribution from Borouge was stable.

Capital expenditure in Downstream amounted to EUR 94 mn (Q3/15: EUR 98 mn). Downstream Oil accounted for EUR 73 mn.

Selected notes to the interim consolidated financial statements

Legal principles

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2015.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for Q3/16 are unaudited and an external review by an auditor was not performed.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for Q3/16 have been prepared in million EUR (EUR mn, EUR 1,000,000). Accordingly, there may be rounding differences.

General accounting policies

The accounting policies and valuation methods adopted in preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, except as described herein.

The following new and amended standards and interpretations have been implemented since January 1, 2016. None has had a material impact on the condensed interim financial statements.

  • Amendments to IFRS 11 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations
  • Amendments to IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative
  • Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization
  • Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 Agriculture Bearer Plants
  • Amendments to IAS 27 Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements
  • Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle
  • Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 Investments Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception

Changes in the consolidated Group

Compared with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015, the consolidated Group changed as follows:

In Upstream, OMV Abu Dhabi Offshore GmbH, based in Vienna, was included starting on May 1, 2016.

OMV Petrom Ukraine Finance Services GmbH and OMV Petrom Ukraine E&P GmbH, both based in Vienna, were deconsolidated as of May 1, 2016 and June 1, 2016, respectively.

In Downstream, PEGAS CEGH Gas Exchange Services GmbH, based in Vienna, has been consolidated at equity starting on September 1, 2016. The company was set up together with Powernext and OMV holds a 49% share.

FE-Trading GmbH, based in Anif, and FE-Trading trgovina d.o.o., based in Ljubljana, were acquired and included in the consolidation scope starting on April 30, 2016.

On October 12, 2015, OMV signed a contract to acquire 100% of the shares in FE-Trading GmbH, based in Anif (Austria) and FE-Trading trgovina d.o.o., based in Ljubljana (Slovenia). The companies ("FE Trading") operate a chain of unmanned filling stations in Austria and Slovenia. The transaction was closed on April 30, 2016. FE Trading has been acquired to further extend the unmanned filling station network of OMV.

The following tables show the acquired net assets of FE Trading as well as the calculation of the goodwill related to the transaction:

Net assets acquired 6
Measurement of goodwill in EUR mn April 30, 2016
Consideration given (cash) 26
Net assets acquired (6)
Goodwill 20

The goodwill substantially relates to the integration effect of FE Trading into the Austrian refinery business and retail network as a marketing outlet. The goodwill is not expected to be tax deductible for income tax purposes.

As of September 30, 2016, FE-Trading GmbH and FE-Trading trgovina d.o.o. contributed EUR 38.6 mn to consolidated sales and EUR 0.8 mn to consolidated net income of OMV Group since their inclusion. If the acquisition had already taken place at the beginning of the year, the calculated value of sales and net income contribution to the OMV Group would have been EUR 64.0 mn and EUR 0.8 mn, respectively.

Changes in ownership of subsidiaries without change in control

On May 20, 2016, OMV increased its interest in EconGas GmbH, based in Vienna, to 100%, by acquiring the remaining noncontrolling interest.

Seasonality and cyclicality

Seasonality is of significance, especially in the Downstream Business Segment. For details please refer to the section entitled "Business Segments".

In addition to the interim financial statements, further information on main items affecting the interim financial statements as of September 30, 2016, is given as part of the description of OMV's Business Segments in the Director's Report.

Notes to the income statement

Material impairments and write-ups

In Upstream, a 30% stake in the exploration and appraisal asset Rosebank (United Kingdom) was reclassified to held for sale as of June 30, 2016. On August 9, 2016, OMV signed an agreement for the sale of the 30% stake. Following the reclassification to held for sale, a pre-tax impairment of EUR 318 mn has been recognized in exploration expenses in Q2/16. The basis for the impairment was the selling price agreed with the buyer considering a best estimate for the contingent consideration (level 3 valuation).

The transaction also triggered a reassessment of the retained 20% stake in Rosebank which led to a pre-tax impairment of EUR 212 mn in Q2/16, impacting exploration expenses. The basis of the valuation was the fair value less costs of disposal derived from the expected sales price of the 30% stake in Rosebank (level 3 valuation).

In Upstream, the net assets of OMV (U.K.) Limited were reclassified to held for sale as of September 30, 2016. Following the reclassification to held for sale, a pre-tax impairment of the disposal group amounting to EUR 458 mn has been recognized in other operating expenses in Q3/16. The basis for the impairment was the selling price based on the offer received and it includes a best estimate for the contingent consideration (level 3 valuation).

In Upstream, an ongoing divestment process led to the reclassification of an asset in the Middle East and Africa region to held for sale which triggered a pre-tax write-up of the asset in the amount of EUR 116 mn in Q3/16, impacting other operating income. The basis of the valuation was the fair value less costs of disposal derived from the expected sales price (level 3 valuation).

On May 18, 2016, the Annual General Meeting approved the payment of a dividend of EUR 1.00 per share, resulting in a total dividend payment of EUR 326 mn to OMV Aktiengesellschaft stockholders. Dividend distributions to minorities amounted to EUR 2 mn in 9m/16. An interest payment to hybrid capital owners amounting to EUR 51 mn was also made in 9m/16.

The total number of own shares held by the Company as of September 30, 2016, amounted to 824,369 (December 31, 2015: 912,824).

Financial liabilities

As of September 30, 2016, short- and long-term borrowings, bonds and finance leases amounted to EUR 5,492 mn (December 31, 2015: EUR 5,386 mn), of which EUR 285 mn were liabilities for finance leases (December 31, 2015: EUR 290 mn).

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.

Total 144 341 485 779 1,008 1,787

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 5,198 mn (December 31, 2015: EUR 5,087 mn) are valued at amortized cost. The estimated fair value of these liabilities was EUR 5,794 mn (December 31, 2015: EUR 5,449 mn). The carrying amount of other financial liabilities is effectively the same as their fair value, as they are predominantly short-term.

In 9m/16, OMV received dividend income of EUR 153 mn (9m/15: EUR 36 mn) from Borealis AG, EUR 14 mn (9m/15: EUR nil) from Enerco Enerji Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş and EUR 9 mn (9m/15: EUR 9 mn) from Trans Austria Gasleitung GmbH.

In June 2015, Borealis received a reassessment decision from the Finnish tax authority for its Finnish subsidiary Borealis Technology Oy with regard to the year 2010. The authority requested Borealis to pay an additional amount of EUR 125 mn, comprising taxes, late payment interest and penalties. This reassessment decision follows the reassessment decision received by Borealis at the end of 2014 for Borealis Technology Oy with regard to the year 2008 requesting Borealis to pay an additional EUR 282 mn. Borealis believes that both reassessment decisions are unjustified and has appealed by filing claims for adjustment with the Finnish tax authority's Board of Adjustment.

At the end of December 2015, Borealis received a reassessment decision from the Finnish tax authority for its Finnish subsidiary Borealis Polymers Oy with regard to the year 2009. The authority is requesting Borealis to pay an additional EUR 153 mn, an amount comprising taxes, late payment interest and penalties. Borealis believes also this reassessment decision is unjustified and has appealed against it by filing a claim for adjustment with the Finnish tax authority's Board of Adjustment.

Subsequent events

On October 6, 2016, OMV closed the sale of the 30% interest in Rosebank to Suncor Energy.

In volatile energy markets, measurement of the costs of petroleum products sold based on historical values (e.g. weighted average cost) can have distorting effects on reported results (EBIT, Net income, etc.). The amount disclosed as CCS effect represents the difference between the charge to the income statement for inventory on a weighted average basis (adjusted for the change in valuation allowances related to net realizable value) and the charge based on the current cost of supply. The current cost of supply is calculated monthly using data from supply and production systems at Downstream Oil level; Clean CCS EBIT: Earnings before interest and tax adjusted for special items and CCS effects. Group Clean CCS EBIT is calculated by adding the Clean CCS EBIT of Downstream Oil, the Clean EBIT of the other segments and the reported consolidation effect adjusted for changes in valuation allowances, in case the net realizable value of the inventory is lower than its cost; Clean CCS EPS: Clean CCS Earnings Per Share is calculated as Clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders divided by weighted number of shares; Clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders: Net income attributable to stockholders, adjusted for the after tax effect of special items and CCS; Clean CCS ROACE: Clean CCS Return On Average Capital Employed is calculated as NOPAT (as a sum of current and last three quarters) adjusted for the after tax effect of special items and CCS, divided by average Capital Employed (on a rolling basis, as an average of last four quarters) (%); Co&O: Corporate and Other; EBITD: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and amortization, impairments and write-ups of fixed assets; EPS: Earnings Per Share; EUR: Euro; FX: Foreign Exchange; gearing ratio: Net debt divided by equity expressed as a percentage; kbbl, kbbl/d: Thousand barrels, kbbl per day; kboe, kboe/d: Thousand barrels of oil equivalent, kboe per day; LNG: Liquefied Natural Gas; mn: million; MWh: Megawatt hour(s); n.a.: not available; n.m.: not meaningful; Net debt: Interest bearing debts plus finance lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents; NGL: Natural Gas Liquids; NOPAT: Net Operating Profit After Tax.
