OMV Group Report January – June and Q2 2016

Investor News

including interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016

  • Q2/16: Clean CCS EBIT at EUR 214 mn, down by 43% vs. Q2/15, Clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders at EUR 222 mn, down by 39% vs. Q2/15
  • Strong cash flow from operating activities at EUR 1,036 mn, up by 21% vs. Q2/15; positive free cash flow after dividends in Q2/16
  • Cost reduction of EUR 100 mn planned for 2017, to be achieved ahead of schedule in 2016
  • Norway production contribution continues to increase, supported by ramp-up of Edvard Grieg and additional wells in Gullfaks and Gudrun
  • Sale agreement for a 30% stake in the Rosebank field (UK) signed

Rainer Seele, CEO of OMV:

"In a challenging market environment, in Q2/16 OMV delivered a strong cash flow from operating activities exceeding EUR 1 bn and a positive free cash flow after dividends. However, decreased oil and gas prices and lower refining margins have impacted the results of OMV Group. Clean CCS EBIT dropped by 43% and clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders decreased by 39%. In line with our strategy to optimize the Upstream portfolio, we are divesting a 30% stake in the Rosebank field in the UK. This sale reduces OMV's related future investment commitments. In addition, we continue to focus on cash and costs. The cost reduction program that started this year aimed for a reduction of EUR 100 mn in 2017, but we expect to reach this goal already in 2016. Thus, we have set a new cost reduction target of more than EUR 150 mn in 2017 versus 2015. We have also continued with our rigorous CAPEX discipline and thus reduced our CAPEX guidance to EUR 2.2 bn in 2016. This is lower than the initially announced target of EUR 2.4 bn."

Group performance

Second quarter 2016 (Q2/16) vs. second quarter 2015 (Q2/15)

Consolidated sales decreased by 19% vs. Q2/15, mainly due to lower Downstream Oil sales reflecting lower product prices. Clean CCS EBIT decreased from EUR 375 mn in Q2/15 to EUR 214 mn, which was driven by a lower Upstream result (due to declined oil and gas prices) but was partly offset by a higher Downstream Gas result. OMV Petrom group's clean CCS EBIT amounted to EUR 49 mn, less than Q2/15 (EUR 148 mn), as Q2/16 was burdened by lower prices and lower sales volumes. Net special items of EUR (608) mn were recorded in Q2/16 (EUR (198) mn in Q2/15), mainly related to the impairment of the 50% stake held in the Rosebank field and write-offs of Upstream licenses in Norway, Madagascar and Romania. Positive CCS effects of EUR 94 mn were recognized in Q2/16 as a result of increased oil prices over the quarter. The Group's reported EBIT amounted to EUR (300) mn, lower than Q2/15 (EUR 222 mn). OMV Petrom's contribution to the Group's reported EBIT was EUR 46 mn, 74% lower vs. Q2/15.

The net financial result of EUR 72 mn in Q2/16 decreased compared to EUR 92 mn as reported in Q2/15. This development was sustained by a lower contribution from Borealis as well as the income from a legal dispute in OMV Petrom in Q2/15.

Current taxes on Group income of EUR (36) mn and deferred taxes of EUR 147 mn were recognized in Q2/16. The effective tax rate in Q2/16 was 49% (Q2/15: 7%); this was primarily due to the strong performance of equity-accounted investments as well as the negative contribution from Norway.

Net income attributable to stockholders was EUR (168) mn vs. EUR 209 mn in Q2/15. Non-controlling and hybrid interests amounted to EUR 51 mn (Q2/15: EUR 83 mn). Clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders amounted to EUR 222 mn (Q2/15: EUR 364 mn). EPS for the quarter equaled EUR (0.51) and clean CCS EPS amounted to EUR 0.68 (Q2/15: EUR 0.64 and EUR 1.11, respectively).

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 1,036 mn and was higher compared to Q2/15 (EUR 858 mn). This development was mainly due to significant cash inflows from net working capital, despite a lower pricing environment. Free cash flow after dividends resulted in a cash inflow of EUR 172 mn (Q2/15: outflow of EUR 433 mn).

Second quarter 2016 (Q2/16) vs. first quarter 2016 (Q1/16)

Consolidated sales increased by 16% vs. Q1/16, mainly due to higher Downstream Oil sales reflecting higher volumes as well as prices. Clean CCS EBIT increased from EUR 167 mn in Q1/16 to EUR 214 mn, driven by a higher Upstream result as a consequence of increased oil prices. OMV Petrom group's clean CCS EBIT amounted to EUR 49 mn, which was below Q1/16 (EUR 92 mn), and could largely be attributed to a negative effect in the consolidation line and a lower Downstream result. Net special items of EUR (608) mn were recorded in Q2/16 (EUR (15) mn in Q1/16), mainly related to the impairment of the 50% stake in the Rosebank field and to write-offs of Upstream licenses in Norway, Madagascar and Romania. Positive CCS effects of EUR 94 mn were recognized in Q2/16 because of increased oil prices over the quarter. The Group's reported EBIT equaled EUR (300) mn, lower than Q1/16 (EUR 48 mn). OMV Petrom's contribution to the Group's reported EBIT was EUR 46 mn, 40% lower vs. Q1/16.

The net financial result was higher than in the last quarter, mainly driven by higher income from equity accounted investments.

Current taxes on Group income of EUR (36) mn and deferred taxes of EUR 147 mn were recognized in Q2/16. The effective tax rate in Q2/16 was 49% (Q1/16: (54)%) and was primarily stimulated by the strong performance of equityaccounted investments as well as by the negative contribution from Norway.

Net income attributable to stockholders was EUR (168) mn vs. EUR 95 mn in Q1/16. Non-controlling and hybrid interests were EUR 51 mn (Q1/16: EUR 41 mn). Clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders was EUR 222 mn (Q1/16: EUR 174 mn). EPS for the quarter was at EUR (0.51) and clean CCS EPS was at EUR 0.68 (Q1/16: EUR 0.29 and EUR 0.53, respectively).

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 1,036 mn and was above the Q1/16 level (EUR 579 mn), mainly due to working capital effects and an improved pricing environment. Free cash flow after dividends resulted in a cash inflow of EUR 172 mn (Q1/16: outflow of EUR 145 mn).

January to June 2016 (6m/16) vs. January to June 2015 (6m/15)

The decrease of 26% in consolidated sales vs. 6m/15 was mainly attributable to lower Downstream Oil sales reflecting lower prices. Clean CCS EBIT decreased by 46% to EUR 381 mn driven by a lower Upstream result due to decreasing oil and gas prices, but partly offset by lower clean exploration expenses and lower production costs. Additionally, the 6m/16 result was impacted by a lower Downstream Oil result as a consequence of lower refining margins, which was only partly offset by an improved Downstream Gas result. OMV Petrom group's clean CCS EBIT amounted to EUR 141 mn, below 6m/15 (EUR 281 mn), as 6m/16 was burdened by lower oil prices and lower sales volumes. Net special items of EUR (623) mn were recorded in 6m/16 (EUR (193) mn in 6m/15), mainly related to the impairment of the 50% stake held in the Rosebank field and write-offs of Upstream licenses in Norway, Madagascar and Romania. Negative CCS effects of EUR (10) mn were recognized (6m/15: EUR (64) mn). The Group's reported EBIT equaled EUR (253) mn, below 6m/15 (EUR 451 mn). OMV Petrom's contribution to the Group's reported EBIT was EUR 124 mn, 57% lower vs. 6m/15.

In 6m/16, the net financial result of EUR 113 mn improved compared to EUR 69 mn in 6m/15, mainly due to a higher income from equity-accounted investments.

Current taxes on Group income of EUR (47) mn and deferred taxes of EUR 205 mn were recognized in 6m/16. The effective tax rate was 114% in 6m/16 (6m/15: 1%); the main factors in this are the strong performance of equity-accounted investments as well as the negative contribution from Norway.

Net income attributable to stockholders amounted to EUR (73) mn vs. EUR 372 mn in 6m/15. Non-controlling and hybrid interests amounted to EUR 92 mn (6m/15: EUR 141 mn). Clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders equaled EUR 396 mn (6m/15: EUR 600 mn). EPS equaled EUR (0.22), clean CCS EPS amounted to EUR 1.21 (6m/15: EUR 1.14 and EUR 1.84, respectively).

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 1,615 mn and was higher compared to 6m/15 (EUR 1,264 mn), mainly due to significant cash inflows from net working capital components. Free cash flow after dividends resulted in a cash inflow of EUR 27 mn (6m/15: outflow of EUR 950 mn).

Capital expenditure decreased to EUR 956 mn in 6m/16 (6m/15: EUR 1,396 mn).

Upstream invested EUR 689 mn in 6m/16 compared to EUR 1,202 mn in 6m/15. CAPEX in Downstream amounted to EUR 263 mn (6m/15: EUR 184 mn), of which EUR 255 mn was in Downstream Oil (6m/15: EUR 164 mn) and EUR 8 mn in Downstream Gas (6m/15: EUR 20 mn). CAPEX in the Co&O amounted to EUR 4 mn (6m/15: EUR 10 mn).

Compared to year-end 2015, total assets decreased by EUR 1,844 mn to EUR 30,820 mn, which could mainly be traced back to a lower derivatives position as well as lower property, plant and equipment as of June 30, 2016.

Equity decreased by 3% in comparison to December 31, 2015. The Group's equity ratio increased to 45% as of June 30, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015 (44%).

The cash position decreased marginally to EUR 1,325 mn (December 31, 2015: EUR 1,348 mn).

Net debt decreased to EUR 3,992 mn compared to EUR 4,038 mn at the end of 2015. On June 30, 2016, the gearing ratio stood at 28.8% (December 31, 2015: 28.2%).

In 6m/16, the 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 1,344 mn (6m/15: EUR 1,676 mn). Net working capital components in the cash flow statement generated a cash inflow of EUR 271 mn (6m/15: cash outflow of

EUR 411 mn); the positive impact resulted primarily from lower inventories and higher trade payables due to net working capital measures. Cash flow from operating activities increased by EUR 350 mn, compared to 6m/15, reaching EUR 1,615 mn.

In 6m/16, net cash from investing activities resulted in an outflow of EUR 1,209 mn (6m/15: EUR 1,685 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. Net 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 406 mn (6m/15: outflow of EUR 421 mn). Free cash flow after dividends resulted in a cash inflow of EUR 27 mn (6m/15: outflow of EUR 950 mn).

Cash flow from financing activities reflected a net outflow of funds amounting to EUR 424 mn (6m/15: net inflow of EUR 338 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 restructuring 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 Outlook section of Director's report below for more information on the 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 40/bbl. The Brent-Urals spread is anticipated to be wider than in recent years due to increased supply from Iran and Saudi Arabia. The gas market environment in Europe continues to be characterized by oversupply. Gas prices on European spot markets are expected to remain flat compared to prices at the end of June 2016. Current market forwards, however, show a slight upward trend for the next months.

Group

  • CAPEX (incl. capitalized E&A) is expected to decline to EUR 2.2 bn
  • Exploration and appraisal expenditure is expected to amount to EUR 450 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 average slightly above 300 kboe/d
  • The combined production of Romania and Austria is expected to average 190-200 kboe/d. In H2/16, OMV has planned 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 60 kboe/d due to additional volumes, resulting mainly from the ramp-up of Edvard Grieg. In Q3/16, the total production level will decline as a result of planned turnarounds
  • Production in Libya and Yemen is not expected to restart during the year due to the continuing critical security situation
  • Upstream capital expenditure will make up roughly 70% of total Group CAPEX, including drilling and workover activities in Romania and Austria and the following major investment projects: Gullfaks, Aasta Hansteen and Edvard Grieg in Norway, Nawara in Tunisia, Schiehallion in the UK and field redevelopment projects in Romania
  • The sale of a 30% stake in the Rosebank field is expected to be completed in Q4/16

Downstream

Oil

  • Due to persisting overcapacity in the European markets, refining margins in the second half of 2016 are projected to be below the levels of the first half of 2016
  • Capacity utilization (adjusted for turnaround periods) is expected to be above 90%. This is due to strong performance in all sales channels and will support the stable profit and cash contribution from Downstream Oil
  • The petrochemical margins are expected to decline from their high levels in 2015
  • Due to the decreased oil price, lower product prices are expected to support demand for mineral oil products from commercial and retail customers

Gas

  • Natural gas sales margins are expected to remain at low levels, due to oversupply on the European gas market
  • Spark spreads in Romania and Turkey are expected to remain weak
  • The sale of a stake in Gas Connect Austria of up to 49% is progressing according to plan and the transaction is expected to be signed and closed in the second half of 2016

Second quarter 2016 (Q2/16) vs. second quarter 2015 (Q2/15)

  • Lower oil and gas prices negatively impacted clean EBIT in Q2/16
  • Production increased by 3%, driven by the ramp-up in Norway
  • Planned spending reductions led to 64% less clean exploration expenses
  • Successful implementation of the cost reduction program resulted in a 15% decrease in OPEX

In Q2/16, the average Brent price in USD was 26% lower – mainly due to the oversupply in the oil market. The Group's average realized crude price decreased by 32%. This mirrored the development in the Brent price and was also impacted by the different crude mix and a negative hedging result in the amount of EUR 18 mn. The average realized gas price in USD/1,000 cf decreased by 19% and followed the trend of European spot markets, where an oversupply situation still persisted.

Total OMV daily production of oil, NGL and gas increased by 3% to 316 kboe/d. Production in Norway was up significantly (+24 kboe/d), pushed on by the Edvard Grieg field, which started production at the end of 2015. This increase was partly offset by lower production in Austria, Pakistan and Romania, which, in turn, was mainly due to natural decline. OMV Petrom's total daily oil and gas production decreased by 2%, reflecting the natural decline. Total sales volumes decreased by 3%, predominantly due to lower volumes from New Zealand, Romania and Pakistan. In Norway, the strong increase in production was not reflected in the sales volume development due to the lifting schedule.

At USD 11.5/boe, production costs excluding royalties (OPEX) in USD/boe were down by 15%, as a result of the successful implementation of the cost reduction program (lower material, personnel and service costs) coupled with higher production. At OMV Petrom, OPEX decreased by 8% to USD 12.1/boe.

Clean EBIT reached break-even vs. EUR 116 mn in Q2/15, carried by the drop in oil and gas prices. Reduced clean exploration expenses and lower production costs partially offset this effect. OMV Petrom contributed EUR 43 mn to clean EBIT. Clean exploration expenses decreased to EUR 39 mn from EUR 108 mn in Q2/15 due to decreased activity levels, above all in Romania, Norway, Pakistan and Austria. Reported exploration expenses increased to EUR 653 mn, largely as a result of the impairment of the Rosebank field in the United Kingdom and the write-offs of Upstream licenses in Norway, Madagascar and Romania.

On August 9, 2016, OMV signed an agreement for the sale of a 30% stake in the Rosebank field. Rosebank is an offshore deep water oil and gas field located in the United Kingdom. After this transaction, OMV's interest in the field will amount to 20%. Under the terms of agreement, OMV will receive an initial payment of USD 50 mn on closing. Following the coventurers approval of the Rosebank project final investment decision, OMV would receive additional consideration of up to USD 165 mn. In connection with this transaction, OMV realized a pre-tax impairment for the 50% stake held in the Rosebank field amounting to EUR 530 mn, which was booked in Q2/16.

Special items recorded for the quarter amounted to EUR (603) mn. This related mainly to the aforementioned impairment as well as write-offs of Upstream licenses. These special items led to a reported EBIT of EUR (603) mn (Q2/15: EUR 106 mn).

Upstream invested EUR 316 mn (Q2/15: EUR 593 mn) mainly in projects in Norway such as Gullfaks and Aasta Hansteen as well as in Romania, Tunisia and the United Kingdom.

The OMV Group decreased its exploration expenditure by 73% to EUR 49 mn, reflecting lower activities across the entire portfolio in line with the revised exploration strategy. Thus, exploration expenditure was lower in Romania, Norway, Pakistan and Austria, although this was partly offset by increased expenditure in Bulgaria (Polshkov-1 well).

Second quarter 2016 (Q2/16) vs. first quarter 2016 (Q1/16)

The average Brent price in USD increased by 34% and the Group's average realized crude price was up by 25%. The average realized gas price in USD/1,000 cf decreased by 4%.

Total OMV daily production of oil, NGL and gas increased by 1% to 316 kboe/d, which can mainly be attributed to higher production in Norway. New wells were brought on stream in Gullfaks and production in Edvard Grieg further increased. Total sales volumes were at the same level – mainly due to an underlift situation in Norway.

Production costs excluding royalties (OPEX) in USD/boe decreased by 5% reflecting the successful implementation of the cost reduction program.

Clean EBIT increased significantly from EUR (97) mn in Q1/16 to break-even owing to higher oil prices in Q2/16. In addition, lower production costs supported the result. Slightly higher clean exploration expenses in Norway as well as higher depreciation as a result of increased production volumes impacted the result negatively.

January to June 2016 (6m/16) vs. January to June 2015 (6m/15)

The average Brent price in USD decreased by 31%. The Group's average realized crude price in USD/bbl decreased by 34% to USD 34.69/bbl following the negative Brent price development. This decline was also impacted by the crude mix and a positive hedging result. The average realized gas price in USD/1,000 cf decreased by 15%, in line with the trend of the European spot markets.

Total OMV daily production of oil, NGL and gas increased by 3% to 314 kboe/d. Production in Norway increased by 28 kboe/d. This was only partly offset by lower production in Romania, the shut-in in Yemen and declines in Austria and Pakistan. OMV Petrom's total daily oil and gas production decreased by 3% due to natural decline. Total sales volumes increased by 2%, driven by higher volumes in Norway.

Production costs excluding royalties (OPEX) in USD/boe decreased by 14% to USD 11.8/boe. Strict cost management (resulting in lower material and personnel costs), higher production volumes and a weaker NOK were responsible for this development. Despite lower production volumes, OMV Petrom reported a decrease of 11% in OPEX to USD 12.2/boe.

Clean EBIT decreased to EUR (97) mn vs. EUR 149 mn in 6m/15, reflecting the significant drop in oil and gas prices. Lower clean exploration expenses, production costs and higher sales volumes could only partly offset this effect. Clean exploration expenses dropped by 55% to EUR 75 mn vs. EUR 168 mn in 6m/15, reflecting the lower activity levels across the portfolio. Reported exploration expenses increased to EUR 689 mn mainly due to the impairment of the Rosebank field in the United Kingdom and the write-offs of Upstream licenses in Norway, Madagascar and Romania. Special items of EUR (609) mn were recorded in 6m/16. These were mainly related to the aforementioned impairment as well as write-offs of Upstream licenses. Reported EBIT dropped from EUR 135 mn in 6m/15 to EUR (706) mn.

Upstream invested EUR 689 mn (6m/15: EUR 1,202 mn), mostly in field developments and redevelopments, drilling and workover activities in Romania, Norway, Tunisia and the United Kingdom.

In line with the revised exploration strategy, exploration expenditure decreased by 51% to EUR 164 mn, reflecting lower activities, primarily in Romania.

Second quarter 2016 (Q2/16) vs. second quarter 2015 (Q2/15)

Downstream Oil result adversely impacted by significantly diminished refining margins

OMV Petrol Ofisi's contribution increased to EUR 31 mn, supported by better margins

Downstream Gas result was clearly up, mainly due to one-off effects

Clean CCS EBIT decreased by 7% to EUR 250 mn, driven mainly by a lower contribution of the Downstream Oil business. This was partly offset by the higher Downstream Gas result. Special items amounted to EUR (2) mn. Increased crude prices over the quarter contributed to positive CCS effects of EUR 114 mn. Reported EBIT amounted to EUR 362 mn.

Downstream Oil clean CCS EBIT decreased to EUR 178 mn, reflecting the diminished refining margin and the effect of the planned turnarounds at Schwechat and Petrobrazi refineries. The OMV indicator refining margin decreased from USD 7.8/bbl in Q2/15 to USD 4.7/bbl in Q2/16, largely due to lower gasoline and middle distillate spreads. The refinery utilization rate in Q2/16 decreased to 72% (92% in Q2/15) as a result of the planned turnarounds of approximately one month at Schwechat and Petrobrazi. These effects were partially compensated by a better retail result. At EUR 31 mn, OMV Petrol Ofisi made a significantly higher contribution to earnings. At EUR 57 mn, the clean petrochemicals EBIT was down from EUR 68 mn as reported in Q2/15, as a consequence of lower propylene margins. In 2015, petrochemical prices and margins were especially high owing to a supply shortage in the market.

At EUR 72 mn, the Downstream Gas clean EBIT was clearly up, largely driven by restructuring efforts, which resulted in one-off effects in the amount of approximately EUR 40 mn. This included valuation gains on forward contracts and a settlement for a gas storage contract that resulted in a gain. Natural gas sales volumes increased by 6% to 24.42 TWh, mostly due to higher sales volumes in Austria. The contribution of the gas transportation business in Austria amounted to EUR 30 mn, broadly in line with the previous year. While the power business remained challenging, the net electrical output increased from 0.33 TWh in Q2/15 to 0.72 TWh in the current quarter. This resulted predominantly from a higher net electrical output in Romania.

The contribution from Borealis, which is accounted for at-equity and shown in the financial result of the OMV Group, was strong. However, the result decreased to EUR 111 mn in Q2/16 vs. EUR 127 mn in Q2/15. This was largely attributable to a lower contribution from the fertilizer business and margin pressure at Borouge.

CAPEX in Downstream amounted to EUR 171 mn (Q2/15: EUR 93 mn), of which EUR 166 mn was in Downstream Oil. Downstream Oil investments were mainly related to the turnaround of the refineries as well as the acquisition of FE Trading. OMV spent EUR 6 mn in Downstream Gas.

Second quarter 2016 (Q2/16) vs. first quarter 2016 (Q1/16)

Clean CCS EBIT increased from EUR 225 mn to EUR 250 mn in Q2/16, driven by the higher result from Downstream Gas.

Downstream Oil clean CCS EBIT decreased to EUR 178 mn, reflecting the reduced refining margin and the effect of the planned turnarounds at Schwechat and Petrobrazi refineries. The OMV indicator refining margin decreased from USD 5.1/bbl in Q1/16 to USD 4.7/bbl in Q2/16, which flowed primarily from higher crude prices. The refinery utilization rate in Q2/16 decreased to 72% (90% in Q1/16), as a result of the planned turnarounds at Schwechat and Petrobrazi. At EUR 57 mn, the clean petrochemicals EBIT increased slightly from EUR 53 mn as reported in Q1/16; this was due to a change in product sales mix. In addition, the retail business also reported better results. At EUR 31 mn, OMV Petrol Ofisi made a significantly higher contribution to earnings.

At EUR 72 mn, the Downstream Gas clean EBIT was clearly up, largely generated by restructuring efforts, which resulted in one-off effects in the amount of approximately EUR 40 mn. This included valuation gains on forward contracts and a settlement for a gas storage contract, which resulted in a gain. Natural gas sales volumes decreased by 25% to 24.42 TWh, mostly due to seasonality.

The contribution from Borealis increased to EUR 111 mn from EUR 92 mn in Q1/16. Borealis reported an improved performance of the olefin and polyolefin businesses as well as a stronger profit contribution from Borouge.

January to June 2016 (6m/16) vs. January to June 2015 (6m/15)

Downstream recorded a strong clean CCS EBIT of EUR 475 mn. This 10% decrease can mainly be traced back to a lower contribution from Downstream Oil. Special items of EUR (12) mn were recorded. Increased crude prices over the first half of the year contributed to positive CCS effects of EUR 36 mn. Reported EBIT amounted to EUR 499 mn.

At EUR 382 mn, Downstream Oil clean CCS EBIT was below the EUR 491 mn achieved in 6m/15, because of the lower refining result. The OMV indicator refining margin decreased from USD 7.6/bbl to USD 4.9/bbl, mainly due to reduced gasoline and middle distillates spreads. This trend was partly compensated by lower crude prices. The refining utilization rate stood at 81% vs. 92% in 6m/15 reflecting the planned turnarounds of approximately one month at Schwechat and Petrobrazi. The clean petrochemicals EBIT was up 10% at EUR 110 mn, reflecting a change in the sales mix to higher ethylene volumes. The ethylene margin was higher than the propylene margin. The retail business showed a very strong performance. At EUR 48 mn, OMV Petrol Ofisi made a significantly higher contribution to earnings.

At EUR 93 mn, Downstream Gas clean EBIT was clearly up, largely driven by restructuring efforts and the strong contribution from the gas logistics business. Natural gas sales volumes declined to 56.92 TWh from 61.05 TWh as a result of lower demand. The contribution of the gas transportation business in Austria was stable at EUR 61 mn. While the power business remained challenging, net electrical output increased to 1.50 TWh compared to 1.34 TWh in 6m/15. This resulted mainly from a higher net electrical output in Romania.

The contribution from Borealis increased to EUR 203 mn from EUR 176 mn in 6m/15. While the contribution from Borouge was lower, Borealis' olefin and polyolefin businesses achieved better results.

CAPEX in Downstream amounted to EUR 263 mn (6m/15: EUR 184 mn), of which EUR 255 mn were in Downstream Oil (6m/15: EUR 164 mn). Downstream Oil investments related primarily to the turnaround of the refineries and the OMV Petrol Ofisi contract renewals. OMV spent EUR 8 mn in Downstream Gas (6m/15: EUR 20 mn).

Selected notes to the interim consolidated financial statements

Legal principles

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 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 Q2/16 are unaudited and an external review by an auditor was not performed.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for Q2/16 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 with May 1, 2016.

In Downstream, 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 with 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:

Fair values acquired in EUR mn April 30, 2016
Intangible assets 16
Property, plant and equipment 19
Inventories 2
Trade receivables 2
Cash in hand and at bank 3
Total assets 44

Other financial liabilities (6)
Total liabilities (37)
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 June 30, 2016, FE-Trading GmbH and FE-Trading trgovina d.o.o. contributed EUR 29.4 mn to consolidated sales and EUR 0.1 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 82.4 mn and EUR 0.1 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 Business Segment Downstream. For details please refer to the section "Business Segments".

In addition to the interim financial statements, further information on main items affecting the interim financial statements as of June 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

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. 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).

As of June 30, 2016, OMV had contractual obligations for the acquisition of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment of EUR 1,661 mn (December 31, 2015: EUR 1,909 mn) mainly relating to exploration and production activities in Upstream.

Inventories

During the six months ending June 30, 2016, there were no material write-downs of inventories.

Equity

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 6m/16. An interest payment to hybrid capital owners amounting to EUR 51 mn was also made in 6m/16.

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

Financial liabilities

As of June 30, 2016, short- and long-term borrowings, bonds and finance leases amounted to EUR 5,318 mn (December 31, 2015: EUR 5,386 mn), of which EUR 286 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 187 450 637 779 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 5,025 mn (December 31, 2015: EUR 5,087 mn) are valued at amortized cost. The estimated fair value of these liabilities was EUR 5,571 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 6m/16, OMV received dividend income of EUR 153 mn (6m/15: EUR 36 mn) from Borealis AG, EUR 14 mn (6m/15: EUR nil) from Enerco Enerji Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş and EUR 9 mn (6m/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 August 9, 2016, OMV signed an agreement for the sale of a 30% stake in the Rosebank field. Rosebank is an offshore deep water oil and gas field located in the United Kingdom. After this transaction, OMV's interest in the field will amount to 20%.

bbl: barrel(s), i.e. approximately 159 liters; bcf: billion standard cubic feet; bn: billion; boe: barrel(s) of oil equivalent; boe/d: boe per day; capital employed: equity including non-controlling interests plus net debt; CCS / CCS effects / Inventory holding gains / (losses): Current Cost of Supply; Inventory holding gains and losses represent the difference between the cost of sales calculated using the current cost of supply and the cost of sales calculated using the weighted average method after adjusting for any changes in valuation allowances, in case the net realizable value of the inventory is lower than its cost. 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 barrel 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. Profit on ordinary activities after taxes plus net interest on net borrowings, +/– result from discontinued operations, +/– tax effect of adjustments; ROFA: Return On Fixed Assets. EBIT divided by average intangible and tangible assets expressed as a percentage; ROACE: Return On Average Capital Employed. NOPAT divided by average capital employed expressed as a percentage; ROE: Return On Equity. Net income for the year divided by average equity expressed as a percentage (ROFA, ROACE and ROE indicators are calculated on a rolling basis based on the previous four consecutive quarters); RON: new Romanian leu; Special items: Special items are expenses and income reflected in the financial statements that are disclosed separately, as they are not part of underlying ordinary business operations. They are being disclosed separately in order to enable investors to better understand and evaluate OMV Group's reported financial performance; t: metric tonne(s); TRY: Turkish lira; TWh: Terawatt hour(s); USD: US dollar
