Third quarter 2019 (Q3/19) compared to third quarter 2018 (Q3/18)
Consolidated sales increased by 6% to EUR 5,949 mn, mainly as a result of higher sales volumes due to the Upstream acquisitions in the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The clean CCS Operating Result decreased by 10% from EUR 1,050 mn to EUR 949 mn. The contribution of Upstream was EUR 449 mn (Q3/18: EUR 554 mn). The better operational performance was more than offset by the negative market environment and higher depreciation. The operational performance amounted to EUR 174 mn and was mainly due to acquisitions in New Zealand (Q4/18), the United Arab Emirates (Q2/18), and Malaysia (Q1/19) as well as the production start-up of Aasta Hansteen in Norway in Q4/18. These effects were partially compensated by lower production in Romania. Net market effects of EUR (176) mn impacted the result negatively. This was mainly due to lower average realized oil and gas prices. These were offset in part by lower hedging losses and positive FX effects. The higher depreciation of EUR (103) mn was mainly related to acquisitions in New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, and Malaysia as well as to higher production in Norway and Libya. In Q3/19, the Downstream clean CCS Operating Result increased slightly to EUR 490 mn (Q3/18: EUR 484 mn). A strong Downstream Oil result was partially compensated by a slight decline in Downstream Gas. The Downstream Oil clean CCS Operating Result grew by 2% from EUR 458 mn in Q3/18 to EUR 465 mn. A strong result contribution from the commercial and retail businesses was partially offset by a lower contribution from the petrochemicals business and from Borealis. The Downstream Gas clean CCS Operating Result decreased slightly from EUR 26 mn in Q3/18 to EUR 25 mn. The consolidation line was EUR 21 mn in Q3/19 (Q3/18: EUR 20 mn). OMV Petrom's clean CCS Operating Result totaled EUR 262 mn (Q3/18: EUR 363 mn).
The clean Group tax rate was 36% compared to 38% in Q3/18, mainly due to a proportionally lower result contribution from Upstream. Clean CCS net income dropped to EUR 593 mn (Q3/18: EUR 628 mn). Clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders was EUR 457 mn (Q3/18: EUR 455 mn). Clean CCS Earnings Per Share came in at EUR 1.40 (Q3/18: EUR 1.39).
Net special items of EUR (108) mn were recorded in Q3/19 (Q3/18: EUR (319) mn). CCS effects of EUR 64 mn were recognized in Q3/19. OMV Group's reported Operating Result grew by 19% to EUR 905 mn (Q3/18: EUR 763 mn). OMV Petrom's contribution to the Group's reported Operating Result declined by 45% to EUR 201 mn (Q3/18: EUR 363 mn).
The net financial result amounted to EUR (29) mn (Q3/18: EUR (39) mn). The expansion was mainly related to foreign exchange gains. With a Group tax rate of 39% (Q3/18: 46%), net income improved to EUR 535 mn (Q3/18: EUR 393 mn). Net income attributable to stockholders strongly rose to EUR 425 mn (Q3/18: EUR 221 mn). Earnings Per Share for the quarter almost doubled to EUR 1.30 (Q3/18: EUR 0.68).
As of September 30, 2019, net debt equaled EUR 4,903 mn compared to EUR 2,306 mn as of September 30, 2018. The gearing ratio increased to 29% (September 30, 2018: 16%). This was mainly due to the acquisition of a 15% stake in the ADNOC Refining business in Q3/19 as well as the implementation of IFRS 16 starting from January 1, 2019. For further details see the Group Interim Financial Statements.
Total capital expenditure added up to EUR 2,769 mn (Q3/18: EUR 470 mn), whereby EUR 2,281 mn was invested in Downstream. In Q3/19, total capital expenditure reflected the acquisition of a 15% stake in ADNOC Refining and Trading Joint Venture to the amount of USD 2.43 bn. Organic capital expenditure increased by 33% to EUR 609 mn (Q3/18: EUR 459 mn). In Upstream, organic capital expenditure was primarily undertaken in Romania, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates. In Downstream, organic capital expenditure was predominantly related to investments in refining in Austria, Germany, and Romania, as well as to retail investments.

2Adjusted for special items; clean CCS figures exclude fuels' inventory holding gains/losses (CCS effects) resulting from the fuels refineries.
The disclosure of special items is considered appropriate in order to facilitate analysis of ordinary business performance. To reflect comparable figures, certain items affecting the result are added back or deducted. These items can be divided into four subcategories: personnel restructuring, unscheduled depreciation and write-ups, asset disposals, and other.
Cash flow
Furthermore, to enable effective performance management in an environment of volatile prices and comparability with peers, the Current Cost of Supply (CCS) effect is eliminated from the accounting result. The CCS effect, also called inventory holding gains and losses, is 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 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. This performance measurement enhances the transparency of results and is commonly used in the oil industry. OMV, therefore, publishes this measurement in addition to the Operating Result determined according to IFRS.

2 Organic free cash flow before dividends is cash flow from operating activities less cash flow from investing activities, excluding disposals and material inorganic cash flow components (e.g. acquisitions).
Third quarter 2019 (Q3/19) compared to third quarter 2018 (Q3/18)
In Q3/19, sources of funds decreased to EUR 1,067 mn (Q3/18: EUR 1,189 mn). This was mainly due to the shift of the payment of the interim dividend from Borealis into Q4/19 which amounted in Q3/18 to EUR 108 mn. Net working capital effects generated a cash inflow of EUR 7 mn, while in Q3/18 they led to an outflow of EUR (219) mn. As a result cash flow from operating activities improved to EUR 1,074 mn in Q3/19 (Q3/18: EUR 970 mn).
Cash flow from investing activities showed an outflow of EUR (2,594) mn compared to EUR (447) mn in Q3/18. The deviation is mainly attributable to the acquisition of a 15% stake in the ADNOC Refining business resulting in a cash outflow of EUR (2,104) mn (including related transaction costs and FX hedging impacts) in Q3/19.
Free cash flow consequently decreased to EUR (1,520) mn (Q3/18: EUR 523 mn).
Cash flow from financing activities recorded an inflow of EUR 991 mn compared to an outflow of EUR (35) mn in Q3/18, mainly attributable to the issuance of two bonds totaling a nominal value of EUR 1 bn.
Free cash flow after dividends declined to EUR (1,520) mn in Q3/19 (Q3/18: EUR 523 mn).
Organic free cash flow before dividends increased to EUR 594 mn (Q3/18: EUR 493 mn).
Risk management
As an international oil and gas company with operations extending from hydrocarbon exploration and production through to trading and marketing of mineral products and gas, OMV is exposed to a variety of risks, including market and financial risks, as well as operational and strategic risks. A detailed description of risks and risk management activities can be found in the 2018 Annual Report (pages 77–79).
The main uncertainties that can influence the OMV Group's performance are 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 with respect to 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 a clear commitment to keeping OMV's risks in line with industry standards.
More information on current risks can be found in the "Outlook" section of the Directors' Report.

Outlook
Market environment
For the year 2019, OMV expects the average Brent oil price to be at USD 65/bbl (2018: USD 71/bbl). In 2019, average European gas spot prices are anticipated to be lower compared to 2018.
Group
► In 2019, organic CAPEX (including capitalized E&A and excluding acquisitions) is projected to come in at EUR 2.3 bn (2018: EUR 1.9 bn).
Upstream
- ► OMV expects total production to be slightly below 500 kboe/d in 2019 (2018: 427 kboe/d). For Q4/19, average production is forecasted to exceed 500 kboe/d, depending on the security situation in Libya.
- ► Organic CAPEX for Upstream (including capitalized E&A and excluding acquisitions) is anticipated to come in at EUR 1.5 bn in 2019 (2018: EUR 1.3 bn).
- ► In 2019, Exploration and Appraisal expenditure is expected to be at EUR 350 mn (2018: EUR 300 mn).
Downstream
Oil
- ► Refining indicator margin is expected to be below USD 5/bbl (2018: USD 5.2/bbl).
- ► Petrochemical margins are anticipated to be similar to those in 2018 (2018: EUR 448/t).
- ► Total refined product sales in 2019 are forecasted to be at a similar level compared to those in 2018 (2018: 20.3 mn t). In OMV's markets, retail margins are predicted to be similar and commercial margins are expected to be higher (previous forecast: similar) compared to those in 2018.
- ► There is no planned turnaround of the refineries in 2019. Therefore, the utilization rate of the refineries is expected to be higher than in 2018 (2018: 92%).
Gas
- ► Natural gas sales volumes in 2019 are projected to be above those in 2018 (2018: 114 TWh).
- ► Natural gas sales margins are forecasted to be lower in 2019 compared to 2018.
- ► Due to the divestment of the Samsun power plant in Turkey in Q3/18, the net electrical output in 2019 will be lower than in 2018 (2018: 5.1 TWh). Net electrical output of the Brazi power plant in Romania is expected to be lower than in 2018.
- ► OMV will continue to finance the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

2 Capital expenditure including acquisitions, notably the acquisition of a 20% stake in two offshore oil fields in Abu Dhabi from ADNOC to the amount of USD 1.5 bn in Q2/18 as well as for the participation of the 50% interest in the company SapuraOMV in Q1/19 to the amount of USD 540 mn.
3 Average realized prices include hedging effects.
4 The average realized gas price is converted to MWh using a standardized calorific value across the portfolio.
Third quarter 2019 (Q3/19) compared to third quarter 2018 (Q3/18)
► Production strongly increased to 480 kboe/d, up by 74 kboe/d
► Production cost decreased by 7% to USD 6.3/boe
The clean Operating Result declined from EUR 554 mn in Q3/18 to EUR 449 mn. The increased operational performance was more than offset by the negative market environment and higher depreciation. The operational performance amounted to EUR 174 mn and was mainly due to acquisitions in New Zealand (Q4/18), the United Arab Emirates (Q2/18), and Malaysia (Q1/19) as well as the production start-up of Aasta Hansteen in Norway in Q4/18. These effects were partially offset by lower production in Romania. Net market effects of EUR (176) mn impacted the result negatively. This was mainly due to lower average realized oil and gas prices. These were offset in part by lower hedging losses and positive FX effects. The higher depreciation of EUR (103) mn was mainly related to acquisitions in New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, and Malaysia, as well as to higher production in Norway and Libya. In Q3/19, OMV Petrom contributed EUR 115 mn to the clean Operating Result compared to EUR 208 mn in Q3/18.
Net special items amounted to EUR (67) mn in Q3/19 (Q3/18: EUR (83) mn) and were mainly related to a positive adjustment of the assumed gas reserves expected by OMV in the Yuzhno Russkoye field. The Operating Result decreased to EUR 382 mn (Q3/18: EUR 470 mn).
At USD 6.3/boe, the production cost excluding royalties declined by 7% as a result of higher quantities, optimization initiatives and the positive FX development. The production cost of OMV Petrom was flat at USD 10.5/boe. Total hydrocarbon production rose by 18% to 480 kboe/d, primarily due to the acquisitions in New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, and Malaysia, as well as the production contribution from Aasta Hansteen in Norway. This was partially offset by lower production from Romania. OMV Petrom's total production was down 6% to 150 kboe/d mostly because of natural decline. Total hydrocarbon sales volumes rose to 42.8 mn boe (Q3/18: 35.2 mn boe) following the acquisitions in New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, and Malaysia as well as due to the increased production from Norway. These effects were partially offset by lower volumes from Romania.
In Q3/19, Brent prices were relatively stable in July before dropping to USD 58/bbl in August, the lowest level since January of this year. This came on the back of a worsening global economic outlook. Furthermore, the renewed disputes between the US and China on trade negotiations were also pressuring factors. Following the attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities in mid-September prices increased to over USD 68/bbl; however, this was only short-lived as Saudi Arabia was able to restore production faster than
expected. Compared to Q3/18, the average Brent price went down by 18% to USD 62/bbl. The Group's average realized crude price declined by 13%. Following significant oversupply due to still high LNG imports and almost 100% storage levels across Europe gas prices decreased. The average realized gas price in USD/1,000 cf decreased by 20%. Realized gas prices were impacted by a hedging loss of EUR (8) mn in Q3/19.
Capital expenditure including capitalized E&A amounted to EUR 448 mn in Q3/19 (Q3/18: EUR 333 mn). Organic capital expenditure was undertaken primarily in Romania, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates. Exploration expenditure rose by 11% to EUR 78 mn in Q3/19 and was mainly related to activities in Norway, Romania, and Austria.

2 Current Cost of Supply (CCS): clean CCS figures exclude special items and inventory holding gains/losses (CCS effects) resulting from the fuels refineries.
3 Capital expenditure including acquisitions, notably the acquisition of a 15% stake in ADNOC Refining and Trading JV to the amount of USD 2.43 bn.
4 Actual refining and petrochemical margins realized by OMV may vary from the OMV indicator refining margin, the ethylene/propylene net margin, and from the market margins due to
factors including a different crude slate, product yield, operating conditions, and a different feedstock.
5 Calculated based on West European Contract Prices (WECP) with naphtha as feedstock.
Third quarter 2019 (Q3/19) compared to third quarter 2018 (Q3/18)
► Slight increase in the Downstream Oil result driven by a strong commercial and retail performance
► High refinery utilization rate of 96% and increased total refined product sales
The clean CCS Operating Result rose by 1% to EUR 490 mn (Q3/18: EUR 484 mn). A strong Downstream Oil result was partially compensated by a slight decline in Downstream Gas.
The Downstream Oil clean CCS Operating Result grew by 2% from EUR 458 mn in Q3/18 to EUR 465 mn. A strong result contribution from the commercial and retail businesses was partially offset by a lower contribution from the petrochemicals business and from Borealis. The OMV indicator refining margin declined by 4% to USD 5.5/bbl (Q3/18: USD 5.7/bbl). A strong decline in naphtha margins could not be fully offset by increased middle distillate and heavy fuel oil margins. Feedstock costs decreased as a result of lower crude prices. The utilization rate of the refineries remained at a high level of 96% in Q3/19 (Q3/18: 98%), despite being partially impacted by an outage in a petrochemical plant in Burghausen. At 5.6 mn t, total refined product sales rose by 2%. The retail business had an improved contribution following higher margins and sales volumes. In the commercial business, margins went up and sales volumes improved slightly compared to Q3/18. The commercial business continued to benefit in Q3/19 from supply disruptions that took place in previous quarters. OMV Petrom contributed EUR 126 mn (Q3/18: EUR 117 mn) to the clean CCS Operating Result of Downstream Oil.
The clean CCS Operating Result of the petrochemicals business decreased by 20% to EUR 59 mn (Q3/18: EUR 74 mn) mainly due to an outage of the steam cracker in the Burghausen refinery. While the ethylene/propylene net margin increased slightly and the benzene net margin rose sharply, the butadiene net margin declined compared to Q3/18. The share from Borealis to the clean Operating Result decreased to EUR 75 mn in Q3/19 (Q3/18: EUR 101 mn), mainly following negative inventory valuation effects and a lower contribution from Borouge. This was partly compensated by a higher fertilizer business contribution following lower gas prices. The integrated polyolefin margins were at a healthy level.
The Downstream Gas clean CCS Operating Result declined slightly from EUR 26 mn in Q3/18 to EUR 25 mn. The contribution from Gas Connect Austria increased from EUR 19 mn to EUR 23 mn mainly following higher contributions from participations and lower energy costs. Natural gas sales volumes improved significantly from 23.3 TWh to 27.2 TWh, primarily following increased volumes in Romania as well as a successful market offensive in Germany and the Netherlands, and partially offset by lower sales volumes in Turkey. Net electrical output went down to 1.0 TWh in Q3/19 (Q3/18: 1.4 TWh) following the divestment of the Samsun
power plant in Q3/18. OMV Petrom's clean CCS Operating Result of Downstream Gas amounted to EUR 12 mn in Q3/19 (Q3/18: EUR 21 mn).
Net special items amounted to EUR (36) mn (Q3/18: EUR (233) mn).In Q3/18 a FX loss following the divestment of the Samsun power plant was recorded ("recycled") to the amount of EUR (160) mn. CCS effects of EUR 63 mn were booked as a result of inventory reevaluation, partly compensated by declining crude prices during Q3/19. The Operating Result of Downstream nearly doubled to EUR 518 mn compared to EUR 284 mn in Q3/18.
Capital expenditure in Downstream amounted to EUR 2,281 mn (Q3/18: EUR 130 mn), mainly stemming from Downstream Oil. Capital expenditure included EUR 12 mn related to IFRS 16. Downstream Oil capital expenditure was EUR 2,260 mn in Q3/19 (Q3/18: EUR 113 mn) and mainly included the acquisition of a 15% stake in ADNOC Refining and Trading Joint Venture to the amount of USD 2.43 bn. In Q3/19, organic capital expenditure predominantly related to investments in refining in Austria, Germany, and Romania, as well as to retail investments.

Selected notes to the interim consolidated financial statements
Legal principles
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 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 statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2018.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for 9m/19 are unaudited and an external review by an auditor was not performed.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for 9m/19 have been prepared in million EUR (EUR mn, EUR 1,000,000). Accordingly, there may be rounding differences.
In addition to the interim financial statements, further information on main items affecting the interim financial statements as of September 30, 2019, is given as part of the description of OMV's Business Segments in the Directors' Report.
Significant changes in accounting policies
The Group has initially adopted IFRS 16 Leases from January 1, 2019.
A number of other amendments and interpretations have been effective since January 1, 2019. They do not have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.
IFRS 16 Leases
This standard replaces IAS 17 and sets out new rules for lease accounting. For the lessee's accounting, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as was required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Applying that model, a lessee is required to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases in the scope of IFRS 16 and depreciation of the right-of-use assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term. Interest expense is charged to profit or loss over the lease period on the remaining balance of the lease liability for each period. For lessors, there are minor changes compared to IAS 17.
On transition to IFRS 16, OMV applied the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. This means it applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under the previous standard were not reassessed for whether they are leases. Additionally, OMV did not recognize any right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for contracts that expire in 2019 because they are treated as short-term leases.
Leases to explore for and use oil and natural gas, which comprise mainly land leases used for such activities, are not in the scope of IAS 17 and IFRS 16. In addition, some commitments are covered by the exceptions for short-term and low value leases. Consequently, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were not recognized for these contracts. Moreover, non-lease components are separated from the lease components for measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
OMV initially applied IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach for transition, thus not restating comparative amounts for the comparative period presented. The right-of-use assets for previous operating leases were measured at the date of initial application at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted by prepaid or accrued lease payments as well as existing onerous contract provisions for operating leases. The lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the lease payments over the remaining lease term, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to these lease liabilities on January 1, 2019, was 0.94%. The first-time application of IFRS 16 resulted in recognizing EUR 688 mn as right-of-use assets and EUR 706 mn as lease liabilities for previous operating leases. For leases previously classified as finance leases the Group recognized the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability before transition as the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and lease liability at the date of initial application. In the statement of financial position, the right-of-use assets are presented within property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities within other interestbearing debts.

Upstream
On January 31, 2019, OMV bought a 50% stake of the issued share capital in SapuraOMV Upstream Sdn. Bhd. for an amount of USD 540 mn (subject to customary closing adjustments). As OMV has the decision power over the relevant activities of SapuraOMV Upstream Sdn. Bhd., the new entity and its subsidiaries are fully consolidated in OMV's Group financial statements.
In addition, the parties agreed to an additional consideration of up to USD 85 mn based on certain conditions, mainly linked to the resource volume in Block 30, Mexico, at the time the final investment decision is taken. No liability was recognized at the time of acquisition. Both parties have also agreed to refinance the intercompany debt of USD 350 mn existing at the time of acquisition (shown in the line "(Decrease)/increase in long-term borrowings" in the cash flow statement).
The acquisition was an additional important step in establishing Asia-Pacific as the fifth OMV core region. Alongside future growth in daily production in Malaysian offshore gas fields, this transaction will also give OMV access to exploration blocks in New Zealand, Australia, and Mexico.
Acquired net assets and goodwill calculation
The non-controlling interest in SapuraOMV Upstream Sdn. Bhd. is measured at its proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The goodwill is mostly related to the deferred tax liability recognized for the differences in book and tax values of the assets acquired. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The initial accounting for the business combination is not yet complete and is based on the preliminary unaudited financials of SapuraOMV Upstream Sdn. Bhd. The preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired, as well as the preliminary goodwill calculation, are detailed in the following tables.

Downstream Oil
On July 31, 2019, OMV and ADNOC, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, closed the strategic equity partnerships covering both the existing ADNOC Refining business and a new Trading Joint Venture. The shareholder structure for both, the ADNOC Refining and the Trading Joint Venture, is OMV 15%, Eni 20% and ADNOC the remaining 65%. The purchase price for OMV amounted to USD 2.43 bn.
OMV has significant influence in the companies and accounts for them using the equity method. The purchase price including transaction costs and FX hedging impact of EUR 2,149 mn was capitalized in the line "Equity-accounted investments" in the balance sheet. The purchase price includes a deferred consideration of USD 60 mn which is reflected in other short-term financial liabilities. The line "Investments, loans and other financial assets" in the cash flow statement contains the cash outflow of EUR (2,086) mn related to this transaction.

Notes to the statement of financial position
Commitments
As of September 30, 2019, OMV had contractual obligations for the acquisition of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment of EUR 1,417 mn (December 31, 2018: EUR 1,003 mn), mainly relating to exploration and production activities in Upstream. OMV Group Report January–September and Q3 2019
October 30, 2019
Contingent liabilities
Potential contingent payments to be made by OMV in relation to the agreement to acquire a 10% share in Pearl Petroleum Company Limited (Pearl), operator of Khor Mor and Chemchemal gas fields in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, are described in detail in Note 27 – Contingent – liabilities in the OMV Consolidated Financial Statements 2018.
In this connection, in May 2019, OMV received an invoice from Crescent Petroleum Company International Limited ("Crescent") and Dana Gas PJSC ("Dana") amounting to approximately USD 241 mn. In view of pending proceedings before the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and arbitrations before the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) regarding inter alia revisions of the Field Development Plan (FDP) of the Chemchemal gas field and a revision of the FDP for Khor Mor, which were not approved at joint venture level, and the deviating views between Crescent/Dana and OMV inter alia about the size of an oil discovery in Khor Mor, OMV has rejected the invoice and is currently assessing its commercial and legal options. Depending on further progress of the proceedings and on the not yet commenced reserves determinations, a contingent payment could potentially arise; however, such event is not deemed probable at this stage. Therefore, no provision has been recognized in OMV Group's interim financial statements. Furthermore, at the date of these interim financial statements, a reliable estimate of the potential additional payment, if any, cannot be made.
With reference to the Arpechim refinery site in Romania a provision for soil remediation was set up in Q3/19. Consequently, the related contingency, described in detail in Note 27 – Contingent liabilities – in the OMV Consolidated Financial Statements 2018, is no longer applicable.
Equity
On May 14, 2019, the Annual General Meeting approved the payment of a dividend of EUR 1.75 per share, resulting in a total dividend payment of EUR 572 mn to OMV Aktiengesellschaft stockholders. Dividend distributions to minorities amounted to EUR 188 mn in 9m/19.
An interest payment to hybrid capital owners amounting to EUR 14 mn was also made in 9m/19.
The total number of own shares held by the Company as of September 30, 2019, amounted to 372,613 (December 31, 2018: 542,151).

With the exception of bonds valued at amortized cost (EUR 78 mn), the carrying amounts of other financial assets are the fair values. The fair value of bonds was EUR 77 mn.
Bonds and other interest-bearing debts (excluding lease liabilities) amounting to EUR 7,022 mn (December 31, 2018: EUR 5,752 mn) are valued at amortized cost. The estimated fair value of these liabilities was EUR 7,549 mn (December 31, 2018: EUR 6,082 mn). The carrying amount of other financial liabilities is effectively the same as their fair value, as they are predominantly short-term.

Borealis had two tax cases in Finland related to Borealis Technology Oy and Borealis Polymers Oy, which are described in detail in the OMV Consolidated Financial Statements 2018 (Note 16 – Equity-accounted investments). On June 7, 2019, the Finnish and Austrian Tax Authorities reached an agreement on two cases regarding the taxation of Borealis Technology Oy and Borealis Polymers Oy. The dispute was resolved through a Mutual Agreement Procedure (MAP) between Finland and Austria. Borealis welcomes that an agreement has been reached which finally eliminates double taxation.
