OMV Group Report January–June and Q2 2020

July 29, 2020

Second quarter 2020 (Q2/20) compared to second quarter 2019 (Q2/19)

Consolidated sales revenues decreased by 48% to EUR 3,138 mn due to the overall lower global commodity price environment and fallen liquid hydrocarbon sales volumes. The clean CCS Operating Result declined by 86% from EUR 1,047 mn to EUR 145 mn. The contribution of Upstream was EUR (152) mn (Q2/19: EUR 650 mn). In Downstream, the clean CCS Operating Result amounted to EUR 309 mn (Q2/19: EUR 428 mn). The consolidation line was EUR (9) mn in Q2/20 (Q2/19: EUR (17) mn). OMV Petrom's contribution to the Group's clean CCS Operating Result totaled EUR 56 mn (Q2/19: EUR 215 mn).

The clean CCS Group tax rate was 19%, significantly lower than in the same quarter last year (Q2/19: 39%), reflecting the lower contribution from Upstream, in particular from countries with high tax regimes. The clean CCS net income weakened to EUR 124 mn (Q2/19: EUR 627 mn). The clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders was EUR 65 mn (Q2/19: EUR 510 mn). Clean CCS Earnings Per Share came in at EUR 0.20 (Q2/19: EUR 1.56).

Net special items of EUR (12) mn were recorded in Q2/20 (Q2/19: EUR 25 mn). CCS effects of EUR (70) mn were recognized in Q2/20. The OMV Group's reported Operating Result fell by 94% to EUR 63 mn (Q2/19: EUR 1,087 mn). OMV Petrom's contribution to the Group's reported Operating Result declined by 86% to EUR 29 mn (Q2/19: EUR 210 mn).

The net financial result improved to EUR 8 mn (Q2/19: EUR (25) mn) following the recognition of an interest income from clearance of the arbitration proceedings at the International Chamber of Commerce Paris against the Ministry of Environment in Romania, as well as due to increased dividend income. With a Group tax rate of 18% (Q2/19: 38%) net income amounted to EUR 58 mn (Q2/19: EUR 658 mn).The net income attributable to stockholders declined strongly to EUR 24 mn (Q2/19: EUR 543 mn). Earnings Per Share amounted to EUR 0.07 (Q2/19: EUR 1.66).

As of June 30, 2020, the net debt excluding leases amounted to EUR 3,401 mn compared to EUR 2,309 mn on June 30, 2019, mainly due to the acquisition of a 15% stake in the ADNOC Refining business in Q3/19. As of June 30, 2020, the gearing ratio excluding leases stood at 21% (June 30, 2019: 14%).

Total capital expenditure came in at EUR 386 mn (Q2/19: EUR 493 mn), with the majority spent in Upstream. In Q2/20, organic capital expenditure decreased by 24% to EUR 372 mn (Q2/19: EUR 493 mn).

January to June 2020 (6m/20) compared to January to June 2019 (6m/19)

Consolidated sales revenues decreased by 31% to EUR 7,898 mn, driven by the overall lower global commodity price environment and fallen sales volumes. The clean CCS Operating Result declined considerably from EUR 1,806 mn in 6m/19 to EUR 844 mn. The contribution from Upstream amounted to EUR (15) mn (6m/19: EUR 1,043 mn). In Downstream, the clean CCS Operating Result stood at EUR 810 mn (6m/19: EUR 801 mn). The consolidation line was EUR 68 mn in 6m/20 (6m/19: EUR (13) mn). OMV Petrom's contribution to the Group's clean CCS Operating Result amounted to EUR 259 mn (6m/19: EUR 478 mn).

The clean CCS Group tax rate in 6m/20 was 30% (6m/19: 37%), reflecting the lower contribution from Upstream, in particular from countries with high tax regimes. The clean CCS net income went down to EUR 544 mn (6m/19: EUR 1,109 mn). The clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders amounted to EUR 381 mn (6m/19: EUR 857 mn). Clean CCS Earnings Per Share was EUR 1.17 (6m/19: EUR 2.62).

Net special items of EUR (177) mn were recorded in 6m/20 (6m/19: EUR 38 mn), mainly due to asset impairments in New Zealand, Tunisia, and Austria following revised short-term oil and gas price assumptions as well as write-off of exploration licenses. CCS effects of EUR (523) mn were recognized in 6m/20. The OMV Group's reported Operating Result decreased substantially to EUR 144 mn (6m/19: EUR 1,853 mn). The contribution of OMV Petrom to the Group's reported Operating Result declined to EUR 202 mn (6m/19: EUR 478 mn).

The net financial result decreased to EUR (69) mn (6m/19: EUR (53) mn) mainly due to the negative FX result which was only partly offset by higher dividend income and by the recognition of an interest income from clearance of the arbitration proceedings initiated at the International Chamber of Commerce Paris against the Ministry of Environment in Romania. With a high Group tax rate of 114% (6m/19: 36%) due to an overall low profit from ordinary activities and result contributions from high tax regimes in Upstream, the net income amounted to EUR (11) mn (6m/19: EUR 1,154 mn). The net income attributable to stockholders was EUR (135) mn compared to EUR 897 mn in 6m/19. Earnings Per Share decreased to EUR (0.41) compared to EUR 2.75 in 6m/19.

As of June 30, 2020, the net debt excluding leases amounted to EUR 3,401 mn compared to EUR 2,309 mn on June 30, 2019, mainly due to a lower cash position impacted by the acquisition of a 15% stake in the ADNOC Refining business in Q3/19. As of June 30, 2020, the gearing ratio excluding leases stood at 21% (June 30, 2019: 14%).

Total capital expenditure amounted to EUR 855 mn (6m/19: EUR 1,374 mn) with the majority in Upstream. In 6m/19, total capital expenditure included the acquisition of a 50% interest in SapuraOMV in the amount of USD 540 mn. Organic capital expenditure was reduced by 11% to EUR 795 mn (6m/19: EUR 897 mn) as a reaction to the worsened economic environment.

2 Adjusted for special items and CCS effects

The disclosure of special items is considered appropriate in order to facilitate the analysis of the 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.

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.

Second quarter 2020 (Q2/20) compared to second quarter 2019 (Q2/19)

In Q2/20, sources of funds decreased to EUR 431 mn (Q2/19: EUR 1,038 mn), significantly impacted by a worsened market environment. Net working capital effects generated a cash inflow of EUR 114 mn, compared to EUR 96 mn in Q2/19. As a result, cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 545 mn in Q2/20 (Q2/19: EUR 1,135 mn).

Cash flow from investing activities showed an outflow of EUR (434) mn compared to EUR (415) mn in Q2/19. Cash flow from investing activities in Q2/20 included a cash outflow of EUR (18) mn related to the financing agreements for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project.

Free cash flow amounted to EUR 111 mn (Q2/19: EUR 719 mn).

OMV Group Report January–June and Q2 2020

July 29, 2020

Cash flow from financing activities recorded an inflow of EUR 2,945 mn compared to an outflow of EUR (697) mn in Q2/19, mainly attributable to the issuance of bonds of EUR 3.25 bn in Q2/20. Dividend payments decreased significantly, as the Annual General Meeting was postponed to September 29, 2020, and thus no dividends to OMV Aktiengesellschaft stockholders were paid in Q2/20.

Free cash flow after dividends declined to EUR (109) mn in Q2/20 (Q2/19: EUR (52) mn).

Organic free cash flow before dividends decreased to EUR 120 mn (Q2/19: EUR 728 mn).

January to June 2020 (6m/20) compared to January to June 2019 (6m/19)

In 6m/20, sources of funds dropped to EUR 1,269 mn (6m/19: EUR 2,235 mn). Working capital components generated a cash inflow of EUR 397 mn (6m/19: outflow of EUR (234) mn). Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 1,666 mn, down by EUR 335 mn compared to 6m/19.

Cash flow from investing activities showed an outflow of EUR (1,074) mn in 6m/20, compared to EUR (1,405) mn in 6m/19. The deviation is mainly attributable to a cash outflow of EUR (460) mn related to the acquisition of a 50% interest in the new company SapuraOMV in 6m/19. Cash flow from investing activities in 6m/20 included a cash outflow of EUR (18) mn related to the financing agreements for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project.

Free cash flow amounted to EUR 592 mn (6m/19: EUR 595 mn).

Cash flow from financing activities showed an inflow of EUR 2,339 mn compared to an outflow of EUR (926) mn in 6m/19, mainly attributable to the issuance of bonds of EUR 3.25 bn in 6m/20. Dividend payments decreased significantly, as the Annual General Meeting was postponed to September 29, 2020, and thus no dividends to OMV Aktiengesellschaft stockholders were paid in 6m/20.

Free cash flow after dividends increased to EUR 372 mn in 6m/20 (6m/19: EUR (176) mn).

Organic free cash flow before dividends declined to EUR 714 mn (6m/19: EUR 1,146 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 oil products and natural gas, OMV is exposed to a variety of risks, including market risks, financial risks, operational risks, and strategic risks. A detailed description of risks and risk management activities can be found in the 2019 Annual Report (pages 80–82).

The main uncertainties that can influence the OMV Group's performance are the commodity price risk, FX risk, operational risks, and also political and 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.

The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a major impact on global economic development. While oil prices slightly increased during the second quarter following supply reductions, they still remain significantly volatile. Recent increases in COVID-19 cases around the world could lead to delays in the assumed demand recovery, following the response of governments and citizens. Thus, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent and duration of the economic impact cannot be reliably estimated from today's perspective. However, OMV is closely monitoring the development and regularly evaluating the impact on the Group's cash flow and liquidity position. OMV is responding to the situation with targeted measures to safeguard the Company's economic stability and the secure supply of energy. The health and wellbeing of every employee is the top priority. At the same time, OMV is implementing targeted measures to safeguard the Company's financial strength, namely reduction of investments, cost cutting, and postponing acquisition projects.

From today's perspective, we assume that based on the measures listed above the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is not impacted.

More information on current risks can be found in the Outlook section of the Directors' Report.

Second quarter 2020 (Q2/20) compared to second quarter 2019 (Q2/19)

  • ► The clean Operating Result sharply declined to EUR (152) mn because of substantially lower oil and gas prices.
  • ► Production decreased by 26 kboe/d to 464 kboe/d, mainly as a result of the production shutdown in Libya.
  • ► Production costs were lowered by 10% to USD 6.2/boe.

In Q2/19, the clean Operating Result sharply declined from EUR 650 mn to EUR (152) mn. A very challenging market environment and a reduced operational performance weighed on the result. Less depreciation moderately offset these effects. Net market effects had a negative impact of EUR (649) mn as a consequence of materially lower average realized oil and gas prices. The operational performance lowered returns by EUR 232 mn, as no liftings came out of Libya in Q2/20. In the prior-year quarter, the sales contribution from Libya was above average due to the lifting schedule. These reductions were partially offset by lower E&A expenses, particularly in Austria and Norway, and higher sales volumes in Malaysia. Depreciation decreased by EUR (78) mn due to reserves revisions in New Zealand and a shut-in production in Libya. In Q2/20, OMV Petrom contributed EUR (26) mn to the clean Operating Result (Q2/19: EUR 163 mn).

In Q2/20, net special items amounted to EUR (85) mn (Q2/19: EUR (6) mn), which were mainly related to an exploration license expiry in Malaysia in the amount of EUR (48) mn. The Operating Result decreased strongly to EUR (237) mn (Q2/19: EUR 644 mn).

Production cost excluding royalties declined by 10% year over year to USD 6.2/boe, mainly as a result of further cost reduction measures and reduced activity during the COVID-19 lockdown. OMV Petrom cut its production cost to USD 10.0/boe.

Total hydrocarbon production decreased by 26 kboe/d to 464 kboe/d. Force majeure in Libya and slightly lower production in Romania and Austria were to some extent counterbalanced by higher output in Malaysia, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates. OMV Petrom's total production was down by 4 kboe/d to 147 kboe/d mostly because of natural decline. Total hydrocarbon sales volumes declined to 434 kboe/d (Q2/19: 484 kboe/d) following mainly no liftings in Libya. In the prior-year quarter, Libya's contribution was above average due to the lifting schedule. This was partially offset by higher sales volumes in Malaysia.

The crude oil market went through an extremely volatile period over the past quarter. Following a disagreement on further production cuts in an OPEC+ meeting in March and the resulting increase of crude oil supply came the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw oil demand fall sharply by over 20 mn bbl/d in April. Market concerns regarding insufficient global storage capacities in light of the resulting vast oversupply led to significantly lower oil prices. Brent fell to a 21-year low of around USD 13/bbl and for a brief period WTI turned negative for the first time ever. Oil prices have, however, managed to recover to levels of around USD 40/bbl as demand slowly recovered, while OPEC+ cuts entering into force in May finally curtailed supply. On a quarterly comparison, the average Brent price went down significantly by 57% to USD 29.6/bbl. The Group's average realized crude price declined by 61%. European gas markets were hit by a combination of weak demand, full storages, and increased LNG imports. Wide-ranging lockdown measures across Europe in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were reflected in decreasing commercial, industrial, and gas-topower demand. Starting mid-quarter, first signs of improvement began to show. Despite the gradual lift of lockdown restrictions, demand in natural-gas-intensive industries is still far from recovering to 2019 levels. Storages are unusually well utilized for the time of year with a record filling level of ~80% at the end of June. On the supply side we continue to see substantial LNG oversupply triggered by massive capacity ramp-ups. These effects led to falling natural gas prices. The average realized gas price in USD/1,000 cf declined by 33%.

Capital expenditure including capitalized E&A decreased significantly as a result of cost saving measures and reduced activity during the COVID-19 lockdown from EUR 341 mn to EUR 251 mn in Q2/20. In Q2/20, organic capital expenditure was primarily directed to projects in Romania, Norway, the United Arab Emirates, and New Zealand. Exploration expenditure decreased by 46% to EUR 50 mn in Q2/20 and was mainly related to exploration activities in Norway and Malaysia.

January to June 2020 (6m/20) compared to January to June 2019 (6m/19)

The clean Operating Result sharply decreased from EUR 1,043 mn to EUR (15) mn in 6m/20. Net market effects had a negative impact of EUR (881) mn as a consequence of materially lower average realized oil and gas prices. A reduced operational performance lowered returns by EUR 293 mn and was mainly a consequence of the force majeure situation and the ensuing liftings shortfall in Libya in the first half of the year. Higher sales volumes in Malaysia had a balancing effect. Depreciation decreased by EUR (116) mn due to reserves revisions in New Zealand and less production in Libya. In 6m/20, OMV Petrom contributed EUR 7 mn to the clean Operating Result compared to EUR 337 mn in 6m/19.

Net special items amounted to EUR (231) mn in 6m/20 (6m/19: EUR 7 mn), following mainly asset impairments in New Zealand, Tunisia, and Austria as a result of revised short-term oil and gas price assumptions and an exploration license expiry in Malaysia in the amount of EUR (48) mn. The Operating Result decreased sharply to EUR (246) mn (6m/19: EUR 1,050 mn).

Production cost excluding royalties decreased by 8% to USD 6.3/boe, mainly as a result of further cost saving initiatives and reduced activity during the COVID-19 lockdown. At OMV Petrom, production cost decreased by 9% to USD 10.4/boe.

Total hydrocarbon production declined by 14 kboe/d to 468 kboe/d, as force majeure lowered contributions from Libya. There was also slightly less production coming from Romania and Russia. More output in Malaysia and in Norway slightly offset this. OMV Petrom's total production went down by 3 kboe/d to 149 kboe/d, mainly due to natural decline. Total sales volumes decreased to 440 kboe/d (6m/19: 456 kboe/d) as a consequence of the Libyan force majeure situation. This was partially offset by higher sales volumes in Malaysia.

In 6m/20, the average Brent price reached USD 40/bbl, a significant decrease by 39%. The Group's average realized crude price declined sharply by 43%. The average realized gas price in USD/1,000 cf went down by 27%. In 6m/20, realized gas prices were supported by a realized hedging gain of EUR 8 mn.

Capital expenditure including capitalized E&A was EUR 585 mn in 6m/20 (6m/19: EUR 1,133 mn). The first half-year of 2019 included a payment of USD 540 mn for the purchase of the 50% interest in SapuraOMV. In 6m/20, organic capital expenditure was primarily directed to projects in Romania, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates. Exploration expenditure stayed flat at EUR 162 mn and was mainly related to activities in New Zealand, Norway, and Malaysia.

4 Actual refining and petrochemical margins realized by OMV may vary from the OMV indicator refining margin, the ethylene/propylene net margin, and the market margins due to factors including different crude oil slate, product yield, operating conditions, or feedstock.

5 Calculated based on West European Contract Prices (WECP) with naphtha as feedstock

Second quarter 2020 (Q2/20) compared to second quarter 2019 (Q2/19)

► The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted all Downstream business units except for the gas business.

  • ► The challenging market environment led to lower sales volumes, refining margins, and refinery utilization rates.
  • ► A positive impact from margin hedges and a stronger performance of the gas business supported the result.

The clean CCS Operating Result decreased by 28% to EUR 309 mn (Q2/19: EUR 428 mn) as effects of the COVID-19 pandemic weighed on demand, dragging down refining margins and refinery utilization rates. Hedging contracts helped absorb some of the adverse refining margin effects, and strong retail margins partially offset weakening demand. Our oil trading and natural gas marketing activities were able to raise contributions. OMV Petrom's input to the clean CCS Operating Result of Downstream amounted to EUR 90 mn (Q2/19: EUR 70 mn).

The OMV indicator refining margin weakened by 29% to USD 2.3/bbl (Q2/19: USD 3.2/bbl), mainly a consequence of the persistently weak macro environment. Lower middle distillates and gasoline cracks were to some extent compensated for by lower feedstock cost and higher fuel oil and naphtha cracks. In Q2/20, the utilization rate of the refineries was at a relatively resilient level of 79% (Q2/19: 96%), owed in part to our ability to switch from jet fuel to petrochemical production. Some maintenance activity took place at the Schwechat refinery in June. At 4.2 mn t, total refined product sales volumes went down by 23% in the wake of the COVID-19-related travel restrictions affecting retail and commercial sales volumes in all of our markets. Better margins were able to somewhat cancel out the adverse volume effects.

The contribution of the petrochemicals business fell by 47% to EUR 41 mn (Q2/19: EUR 78 mn) due to lower margins. While the ethylene/propylene net margin dropped by a relatively moderate degree, the benzene and butadiene spreads contracted sharply. Still, cracker utilization came in to around 90%.

The contribution of Borealis decreased by EUR 94 mn to EUR 24 mn (Q2/19: EUR 118 mn). Unfavorable inventory valuation effects, an unplanned outage of the Stenungsund cracker, and a decreased light feedstock advantage versus naphtha weighed on the results. Polyolefin sales volumes were stable, as lower demand from the automotive and construction industries was almost fully counterbalanced by rising demand from healthcare and packaging. The performance of Borouge was impacted by weak market conditions in Asia and low local naphtha prices that neutralized the advantage of processing ethane.

The contribution of ADNOC Refining & Trading amounted to EUR (18) mn, also owed to the difficult market environment. In addition, performance was still restricted by the unplanned delay of the maintenance turnaround at the Ruwais refineries. The Trading JV is currently in the set-up phase.

The contribution of the gas business grew to EUR 89 mn (Q2/19: EUR 4 mn), mainly as a consequence of a better performance of the storage business and lower depreciation. Gas Connect Austria is reclassified as an asset held for sale. The power business in Romania provided strong support thanks to favorable forward contracts and a one-off revenue recovery stemming from a 2019 power price regulation. Natural gas sales volumes rose significantly from 26.8 TWh to 32.3 TWh, driven by higher sales volumes in Romania, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

Net special items amounted to EUR 75 mn (Q2/19: EUR 33 mn) and were mainly related to unrealized commodity derivatives. CCS effects of EUR (41) mn are mainly a consequence of the maintenance turnaround at ADNOC Refining & Trading. As a result, the Operating Result of Downstream decreased to EUR 342 mn compared to EUR 474 mn in Q2/19.

Capital expenditure in Downstream amounted to EUR 128 mn (Q2/19: EUR 140 mn). In Q2/20, organic capital expenditure was predominantly related to investments in the European refineries and in the retail business.

January to June 2020 (6m/20) compared to January to June 2019 (6m/19)

At EUR 810 mn, the clean CCS Operating Result remained at a similar level compared to the same period of the previous year (6m/19: EUR 801 mn). Negative effects of COVID-19 on demand and margins were offset by the monetization of CO2 certificates, a significant positive contribution of middle distillate margin hedges and oil trading, as well as a strong retail and natural gas business. OMV Petrom's input to the clean CCS Operating Result of Downstream amounted to EUR 227 mn (6m/19: EUR 153 mn).

The OMV indicator refining margin was stable at USD 3.6/bbl (6m/19: USD 3.6/bbl). While spreads for lighter products declined, those for heavier output rose. Feedstock costs dropped considerably as a result of lower crude oil prices. In 6m/20, the utilization rate of the refineries was at 86% (6m/19: 97%), relatively resilient in light of the lockdown measures related to COVID-19. At 8.8 mn t, total refined product sales volumes went down by 14%, due to the lower demand. The result from the retail business increased as higher margins were able to compensate for lower sales volumes.

The contribution of the petrochemicals business contracted by 9% to EUR 134 mn (6m/19: EUR 148 mn). The ethylene/propylene net margin softened somewhat, while the benzene net margin increased sharply, having been impacted by an oversupplied market in 6m/19. The butadiene net margin weakened considerably.

The contribution of Borealis decreased by EUR 111 mn to EUR 78 mn (6m/19: EUR 190 mn), caused by unfavorable inventory valuation effects, an unplanned outage at the Stenungsund cracker, and a decreased light feedstock advantage versus naphtha. Borouge delivered a lower result caused by weak market conditions in Asia. The fertilizer business improved thanks to lower natural gas prices and higher volumes.

In 6m/20, the contribution of ADNOC Refining & Trading amounted to EUR (25) mn. As of Q1/20, the ADNOC Refining & Trading result is calculated based on Current Cost of Supply (CCS) and excludes inventory holding gains/losses. In 6m/20, the result was negatively impacted by an extensive turnaround of the Ruwais refinery complex, which started at the beginning of February and lasted into Q2/20. In addition, a weak market environment in Asia weighed on the result. The Trading JV is currently in the set-up phase.

The contribution of the gas business more than doubled to EUR 181 mn (6m/19: EUR 82 mn), mainly as a consequence of a better performance of the storage business and lower depreciation. Gas Connect Austria is reclassified as an asset held for sale. The power business in Romania provided strong support thanks to favorable forward contracts and a one-off revenue recovery stemming from a 2019 power price regulation. Natural gas sales volumes rose significantly from 64.8 TWh to 80.3 TWh, driven by higher sales volumes in Romania, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. The increase in natural gas sales volumes in Romania was partially a consequence of allocations to the regulated gas market and obligations to the centralized markets.

Net special items amounted to EUR 60 mn (6m/19: EUR 44 mn) and were mainly related to unrealized commodity derivatives. CCS effects of EUR (546) mn were caused by the sharp drop in crude oil prices in 6m/20. As a result, the Operating Result of Downstream decreased to EUR 324 mn compared to EUR 880 mn in 6m/19.

Capital expenditure in Downstream amounted to EUR 256 mn (6m/19: EUR 222 mn). In 6m/20, organic capital expenditure was predominantly related to investments in the European refineries and in the retail business.

Selected notes to the consolidated interim financial statements

Legal principles

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements."

The condensed consolidated interim 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, 2019.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for 6m/20 are unaudited and an external review by an auditor was not performed.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for 6m/20 have been prepared in million EUR (EUR mn, EUR 1,000,000). Accordingly, there may be rounding differences.

In addition to the consolidated interim financial statements, further information on main items affecting the consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2020, is given as part of the description of OMV's business segments in the Directors' Report.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies in effect on December 31, 2019, remain largely unchanged. The amendments effective since January 1, 2020, do not have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

Changes in the consolidated Group

Compared with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, the consolidated Group changed as follows:

Changes in consolidated Group
Name of company Registered office Type of change 1 Effective date
Downstream
OMV Deutschland Marketing & Trading GmbH & Co. KG Burghausen First consolidation April 1, 2020
OMV Deutschland Operations GmbH & Co. KG Burghausen First consolidation April 1, 2020
OMV Gas Marketing & Trading d.o.o. Zagreb Deconsolidation (L) June 30, 2020

1 "First consolidation" refers to newly formed or existing subsidiaries. "Deconsolidation (L)" refers to companies deconsolidated following a liquidation process.

Other significant transactions

Downstream

On March 12, 2020, OMV and Mubadala Investment Company, the Abu Dhabi-based strategic investment company, signed the share purchase agreement for the acquisition of the additional 39% share in Borealis AG for a purchase price of USD 4.68 bn, whereby OMV is entitled to all dividends in relation to such additional share in Borealis distributed after December 31, 2019. The amendment agreement signed on March 26, 2020, provides for the purchase price to be paid by OMV in two tranches: USD 2.34 bn at closing of the transaction and USD 2.34 bn no later than December 31, 2021, at a market interest rate from closing. OMV has the option to pay the deferred amount in full or in part at closing of the transaction or following closing at the end of each month until December 31, 2021.

To mitigate the foreign currency risk, OMV decided to hedge 75% of the firm commitment by executing FX options (combination of options that constitute a net purchase option) and FX forwards. These hedging instruments are accounted for as a cash flow hedge and will be included and recognized adjusting the consideration given for the purchase price allocation. The hedging strategy follows actual payments of USD and any changes in timing will be handled via FX swaps. The positive market value of these hedging instruments amounted to EUR 50 mn as of June 30, 2020.

OMV plans the sale of its 51% stake in Gas Connect Austria GmbH. This led to the reclassification of the Gas Connect Group and associated goodwill to assets and liabilities held for sale in Q1/20 without an impact on the Income Statement at that time.

OMV plans to divest the retail network (287 filling stations) in Germany, which led to the reclassification of the assets and liabilities to held for sale as of June 30, 2020. The reclassification did not lead to any impairment loss.

Seasonality and cyclicality

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

Notes to the income statement

Impairment charges

Upstream

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a major impact on the global economic development. While oil prices slightly increased during the second quarter following supply reductions, they still remain significantly volatile. Recent increases in COVID-19 cases around the world could lead to delays in the assumed demand recovery, following the response of governments and citizens. While OMV updated its short-term oil and gas price assumptions already during the first quarter, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting long-term operational and economic impact cannot be reliably estimated from today's perspective. OMV continues to analyze the market developments and to assess the impacts on the long-term price assumptions during the next quarters.

In Q1/20, OMV changed the short-term assumptions as follows: Brent oil price USD 40/bbl for 2020 (reduced from USD 60/bbl) and USD 50/bbl for 2021 (reduced from USD 70/bbl) and realized gas price EUR 10/MWh in 2020 (reduced from EUR 12/MWh). This led to a post-tax impairment of EUR 84 mn in Q1/20 for the producing oil and gas assets, mainly related to assets in New Zealand. The change in the expected short-term oil and gas prices is not considered to have an immediate effect on the E&A portfolio, as none of the major assets is planned to come on stream in the near term.

A potential change of OMV's long-term price assumptions to USD 60/bbl of Brent crude and EUR 13/MWh of realized gas price would lead to additional post-tax impairments of EUR 700 mn to EUR 900 mn for all producing assets and assets currently in the development phase. The impact does not take into account cost and CAPEX reduction measures and any other changes in the broader environment.

Inventory valuation

6m/20 was significantly impacted by net impairments of inventories amounting to EUR 62 mn, driven by a significant price decrease.

Subsequent events

On July 9, 2020, the Arbitral Tribunal issued the Final Award on the arbitration initiated by OMV Aktiengesellschaft ("OMV AG") at the International Chamber of Commerce Paris ("ICC") against the Romanian Ministry of Environment regarding certain claims unpaid by the Ministry of Environment for costs incurred by OMV Petrom S.A. with well decommissioning and environmental remediation works. The Arbitral Tribunal requested the Ministry of Environment to reimburse to OMV Petrom S.A. the amount of approx. EUR 59 mn (almost the entire amount initially requested) and related interest. The impact of the award is reflected in the Q2/20 results and is mainly related to the recognition of an interest income in the net financial result.
