Third quarter 2021 (Q3/21) compared to third quarter 2020 (Q3/20)

Consolidated sales revenues increased substantially by 130% to EUR 8,512 mn due to the additional revenues stemming from full consolidation of Borealis as well as higher market prices and sales volumes. The clean CCS Operating Result rose sharply by EUR 1,473 mn from EUR 317 mn to a record EUR 1,790 mn. The clean Operating Result of Exploration & Production grew to EUR 816 mn (Q3/20: EUR (24) mn), while the clean CCS Operating Result of Refining & Marketing improved to EUR 361 mn (Q3/20: EUR 236 mn). In Chemicals & Materials, the clean Operating Result significantly increased to EUR 623 mn (Q3/20: EUR 99 mn). The consolidation line was EUR 7 mn in Q3/21 (Q3/20: EUR 18 mn).

At 41%, the clean CCS Group tax rate was higher than in the same quarter last year (Q3/20: 38%), due to the significantly higher contribution from high tax regime countries. The clean CCS net income increased substantially to EUR 1,018 mn (Q3/20: EUR 160 mn). The clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders of the parent was EUR 781 mn (Q3/20: EUR 80 mn). Clean CCS Earnings Per Share grew tenfold to EUR 2.39 (Q3/20: EUR 0.24).

Net special items of EUR (750) mn were recorded in Q3/21 (Q3/20: EUR (997) mn) and were mainly related to temporary hedging effects. Net special items in Q3/20 were mainly related to the impairments triggered by OMV's revision of its long-term Brent crude oil price planning assumptions. CCS effects of EUR 38 mn were recognized in Q3/21. The OMV Group's reported Operating Result rose considerably to EUR 1,079 mn (Q3/20: EUR (607) mn).

The net financial result decreased to EUR (63) mn (Q3/20: EUR (59) mn). This development was mainly due to a lower net interest result attributable to higher interest expenses in relation to discounting of receivables, which was partly offset by an improved foreign exchange result. With a Group tax rate of 52%, net income grew substantially to EUR 484 mn (Q3/20: EUR (458) mn).The net income attributable to stockholders of the parent increased sharply to EUR 279 mn (Q3/20: EUR (487) mn). Earnings Per Share rose to EUR 0.85 (Q3/20: EUR (1.49)).

As of September 30, 2021, the net debt excluding leases amounted to EUR 6,214 mn compared to EUR 1,830 mn on September 30, 2020, mainly impacted by the acquisition of an additional 39% share in Borealis. As of September 30, 2021, the gearing ratio excluding leases stood at 28% (September 30, 2020: 11%). For further information on the gearing ratio, please see "Financial liabilities". The leverage ratio defined as (net debt including leases) / (equity + net debt including leases) amounted to 25% as of September 30, 2021 (September 30, 2020: 15%).

Total capital expenditure came in at EUR 628 mn (Q3/20: EUR 363 mn) and was mainly attributable to organic projects in the Exploration & Production and Chemicals & Materials segments. In Q3/21, organic capital expenditure was up by 72% to EUR 624 mn (Q3/20: EUR 363 mn), mainly due to the full consolidation of Borealis.

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 in accordance with IFRS.

1 Q3/21 compared to Q3/20

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 2021 (Q3/21) compared to third quarter 2020 (Q3/20)

In Q3/21, cash flow from operating activities excluding net working capital effects increased sharply to EUR 2,007 mn (Q3/20: EUR 687 mn), which was primarily attributable to a more favorable market environment and the contribution of Borealis. Net working capital effects generated a cash outflow of EUR (399) mn, compared to a cash inflow of EUR 104 mn in Q3/20. As a result, cash flow from operating activities came in at EUR 1,608 mn in Q3/21 (Q3/20: EUR 791 mn).

Cash flow from investing activities showed an outflow of EUR (596) mn compared to EUR (423) mn in Q3/20. The deviation is mainly attributable to investments by Borealis.

Free cash flow amounted to EUR 1,012 mn (Q3/20: EUR 368 mn).

Cash flow from financing activities recorded an outflow of EUR (62) mn compared to an inflow of EUR 1,158 mn in Q3/20 because the Q3/20 figure had included the issuance of hybrid bonds with a nominal value of EUR 1.25 bn.

Free cash flow after dividends increased to EUR 978 mn (Q3/20: EUR 368 mn).

Organic free cash flow before dividends amounted to EUR 1,032 mn (Q3/20: EUR 432 mn).

Risk management

As an international oil, gas and chemicals company with operations extending from hydrocarbon exploration and production through to trading and marketing of mineral oil products, chemical 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 2020 Annual Report (pages 69–71).

The main uncertainties that can influence the OMV Group's performance are commodity price risk, FX risk, operational risks, and also political and regulatory risks. The commodity price risk is monitored continuously, 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 continued to trade at elevated levels during the third quarter, natural gas prices increased sharply at the end of the quarter following supply reductions and low gas storage volumes ahead of the winter season.

Increases in COVID-19 cases around the world combined with high energy prices and disruptions in supply chains could lead to delays in the assumed demand recovery, following the response of governments and citizens. The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and other disruptions currently observed, as well as the extent and duration of the economic impact cannot be reliably estimated from today's perspective. However, OMV is closely monitoring developments 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 has implemented targeted measures to safeguard the Company's financial strength, namely reduction of investments, cost cutting, and restructuring of the portfolio.

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.

Third quarter 2021 (Q3/21) compared to third quarter 2020 (Q3/20)

  • ▸ The clean Operating Result grew sharply to EUR 816 mn, thanks to strong positive market effects and operational performance.
  • ▸ Production up by 26 kboe/d to 470 kboe/d, mainly thanks to Libya, the UAE and Norway; sales volumes benefitted from liftings catch-up.
  • ▸ Production cost decreased to USD 6.7/boe, mainly due to the divestment of high-cost oil assets in Kazakhstan and Malaysia.

In Q3/21, the clean Operating Result increased markedly from EUR (24) mn in Q3/20 to EUR 816 mn. A benign market environment was bolstered by an improved operational performance. Net market effects boosted results by EUR 638 mn, thanks to the persistently strong commodity price growth for both crude oil and natural gas. Adverse factors were FX movements and hedging losses. Operational performance added another EUR 256 mn, on the back of higher production and sales volumes, mainly thanks to the return to full operations in Libya, revised OPEC quota restrictions in the United Arab Emirates, and higher natural gas flows in Norway. Q3/21 exploration expenses were mainly caused by the write-off of one exploration well. In Q3/20, exploration expenses were significantly higher as a consequence of OMV's revision of its long-term Brent crude oil price planning assumptions.

In Q3/21, net special items amounted to EUR (477) mn (Q3/20: EUR (1,020) mn), mainly consisting of temporary natural gas hedging effects. In Q3/20, special items were mainly related to the impairments triggered by OMV's revision of its long-term Brent crude oil price planning assumptions. The Operating Result strengthened to EUR 339 mn (Q3/20: EUR (1,044) mn).

Production cost excluding royalties dropped to USD 6.7/boe (Q3/20: USD 7.5/boe), mainly owing to the divestment of high-cost oil assets in Kazakhstan and Malaysia.

The total hydrocarbon production volume expanded by 26 kboe/d to 470 kboe/d. Libyan production was at full capacity during the entire quarter, while it had been severely affected by a force majeure situation in the same period last year. Output in the UAE grew on the back of revised OPEC quota restrictions. Norwegian production profited from better natural gas extraction performance. Natural decline in Romania and the divestment of assets in Malaysia and Kazakhstan were limiting factors to production growth. Total hydrocarbon sales volumes improved to 465 kboe/d (Q3/20: 422 kboe/d), driven by higher production volumes and a liftings catch-up effect.

Oil price growth continued during Q3/21, albeit at a slower pace than previously. For much of July and August, the price development was slightly negative, mainly fueled by concerns surrounding the impact on the global economy of the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19. September saw prices recover, largely due to improving demand on the back of the continuing economic rebound. Supply remained tight, affected by production outages caused by Hurricane Ida as well as by high OPEC+ quota compliance. The average Brent price increased during the quarter, reaching USD 73.5/bbl. In a yearly comparison, the oil price rose considerably. As a result, the Group's average realized crude oil price advanced by 86% year-over-year. On the natural gas side, prices continued their steady upward climb in Q3/21 as European storage levels were not able to make up for their previous deficit. Limited Russian imports over the summer, a heavy maintenance season in Norway and the UK, and limited LNG arrivals due to strong demand in Asia were the main reasons. This left European storages just 70% full ahead of the winter season. High European natural gas prices started to impact demand toward the end of the summer, as power generators replaced natural gas for coal as feedstock, and fertilizer plants reduced output. OMV's average realized natural gas price in EUR/MWh was more than double than that of the same quarter last year.

Capital expenditure including capitalized E&A rose from EUR 204 mn to EUR 300 mn in Q3/21 as the COVID-19 pandemic had led to a significant activity cutback in the same quarter last year. In Q3/21, organic capital expenditure was primarily directed at projects in Romania, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates. Exploration expenditure was raised by 66% to EUR 44 mn in Q3/21 and was mainly related to activities in Norway and New Zealand.

Third quarter 2021 (Q3/21) compared to third quarter 2020 (Q3/20)

  • ▸ Clean CCS Operating Result rose sharply to EUR 361 mn, driven by substantially higher refining margins, increased fuel sales volumes, and a positive contribution from ADNOC Refining.
  • ▸ Lower contribution from the gas business, mainly due to the divestment of Gas Connect Austria in Q2/21.
  • ▸ Margin hedges contributed positively to the result, albeit to a much lesser extent than in Q3/20.

The clean CCS Operating Result increased to EUR 361 mn (Q3/20: EUR 236 mn). Strong margins, higher demand, and a positive result from ADNOC Refining more than compensated for the lower contribution from margin hedges and the gas business. The OMV refining indicator margin Europe strengthened remarkably to USD 4.4/bbl (Q3/20: USD 0.9/bbl). Higher product cracks for light and middle distillates were only partially offset by rising feedstock costs. Disruptions in the U.S. Gulf Coast led to more imports from Europe, which provided further support to the European refining margin. In Q3/21, the utilization rate of the European refineries marginally improved by 1 percentage point to 91% (Q3/20: 90%). At 4.7 mn t, fuels and other sales volumes Europe increased considerably by 14% in the wake of eased travel restrictions. The commercial business showed an increased contribution on the back of higher margins and a strong rebound in quantities sold by 21%. This was mostly thanks to improved demand for jet fuel compared to Q3/20, when travel restrictions imposed had a major impact on aviation activity. The retail business also contributed more to results on the basis of 7% growth in retail volumes sold, higher sales in non-oil business, and improved fuel margins.

The contribution of ADNOC Refining & Trading rose significantly to EUR 6 mn (Q3/20: EUR (49) mn), mainly due to increased refining margins in ADNOC Refining attributable to improved market conditions and higher utilization rates. ADNOC Global Trading provided a strong support to the result as a consequence of the launch at the end of 2020.

The contribution of the gas business decreased to EUR 41 mn (Q3/20: EUR 78 mn), largely due to the divestment of Gas Connect Austria at the end of May 2021, rising storage expenses in Austria owing to higher gas prices, and a lower contribution from the power business. The power business in Romania benefited from favorable power forward contracts in Q3/20. Partly compensating was the ability to benefit from the high market volatility through supply and sales contracts. In addition, natural gas sales volumes rose considerably by 20% from 33.3 TWh to 40.0 TWh, mainly on account of higher sales volumes in Germany and the Netherlands. The development was partially offset by lower sales volumes in Austria, Hungary, and Romania.

Net special items amounted to EUR (265) mn (Q3/20: EUR 32 mn) and were primarily related to commodity derivatives. In Q3/21, CCS effects of EUR 38 mn were recorded as a consequence of increasing crude oil prices. Consequently, the Operating Result of Refining & Marketing declined by 62% to EUR 134 mn (Q3/20: EUR 353 mn).

Capital expenditure in Refining & Marketing was EUR 120 mn (Q3/20: EUR 138 mn). In Q3/21, organic capital expenditure was predominantly related to investments in the European refineries and retail stations.

2 Capital expenditure including acquisitions

3 Pro-rata volumes of at-equity consolidated companies

Third quarter 2021 (Q3/21) compared to third quarter 2020 (Q3/20)

  • ▸ Clean Operating Result grew sharply to EUR 623 mn, mainly due to a substantially better market environment, a higher contribution following the full consolidation, and positive inventory effects.
  • ▸ Borealis JVs benefited from a strong polyolefin market environment in Asia and the United States.
  • ▸ Following the closing of the acquisition of an additional 39% stake on October 29, 2020, OMV holds a 75% stake in Borealis, which is thus fully consolidated in OMV's figures, leading to higher contributions.

The clean Operating Result grew more than sixfold to EUR 623 mn (Q3/20: EUR 99 mn), mainly due to the full consolidation of Borealis, substantially higher polyolefin and increased olefin margins in Europe, as well as to positive inventory valuation effects. A strong contribution from the Borealis JVs also added to the result.

The contribution of OMV base chemicals grew due to higher ethylene and propylene indicator margins. The ethylene indicator margin Europe increased by 22% to EUR 489/t (Q3/20: EUR 402/t), while the propylene indicator margin Europe rose to a greater extent, by 41%, to EUR 488/t (Q3/20: EUR 347/t). Strong European demand elevated prices for ethylene and propylene, offsetting increases in feedstock costs. Propylene in particular was affected by a tightening supply-demand balance.

The utilization rate of the European steam crackers operated by OMV and Borealis improved significantly by 24 percentage points to 88% in Q3/21 (Q3/20: 64%). Q3/20 was impacted by an unplanned outage of the Stenungsund steam cracker.

The contribution of Borealis excluding JVs grew sharply by EUR 341 mn to EUR 400 mn (Q3/20: EUR 59 mn). This was mainly attributable to the very strong performance of the polyolefin business and an increased contribution from the base chemicals business. Positive inventory valuation effects also supported the result. The Borealis base chemicals business improved on the back of higher margins supported by increased production at the Stenungsund steam cracker, as well as from positive inventory valuation effects. Contrary to Q3/21, the base chemicals business saw in Q3/20 a positive light feedstock advantage. The polyolefin business saw a steep increase due to substantially higher margins and also because of positive inventory valuation effects. The European polyethylene indicator margin grew by 43% to EUR 524/t (Q3/20: EUR 367/t), while the European polypropylene indicator margin rose by 91% to EUR 748/t (Q3/20: EUR 392/t). Both were supported by strong demand in the European markets coupled with constraints on imports caused by ongoing deep-sea logistics limitations. Limited supply from the United States following the recent hurricane season also put constraints on additional imports into Europe. Compared to Q3/20, polyethylene sales volumes increased by 7%, while polypropylene sales volumes were down 6%. In particular, the energy segment drove demand, whereas volumes in the consumer products and mobility segment declined. The contribution from the nitrogen business to

the result grew compared to Q3/20, mainly due to positive inventory effects and the reclassification as an asset held for sale. This was partially offset by reduced ammonia production and higher variable costs following record high natural gas prices.

The contribution of Borealis JVs amounted to EUR 137 mn in Q3/21 and benefited from an increase in polyolefin prices in Asia and the United States. Compared to Q3/20, polyethylene sales volumes from the JVs decreased by 6%, while polypropylene sales volumes rose by 1%. Logistics constraints caused by limited container availability in Asia negatively impacted Borouge sales volumes. The sales volumes from Baystar remained at a comparable level to Q3/20.

Net special items amounted to EUR (5) mn (Q3/20: EUR (9) mn) and were mainly related to commodity derivatives. The Operating Result of Chemicals & Materials soared to EUR 618 mn compared to EUR 91 mn in Q3/20.

Capital expenditure in Chemicals & Materials amounted to EUR 202 mn (Q3/20: EUR 17 mn). Following the closing of the acquisition of an additional 39% stake on October 29, 2020, capital expenditure in Q3/21 also includes Borealis. In Q3/21, besides ordinary running business investments, the organic capital expenditure was predominantly related to investments for the construction of the new propane dehydrogenation plant in Belgium by Borealis.

Selected notes to the consolidated interim financial statements

Legal principles

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 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, 2020.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for Q3/21 are unaudited, and an external review by an auditor was not performed.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for Q3/21 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 September 30, 2021, 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, 2020, remain largely unchanged. The amendments effective since January 1, 2021, did not have a material effect on the consolidated interim financial statements.

Changes in segment reporting

Starting with Q1/21, the OMV Group structure was reorganized, which involved splitting and expanding the current area of Refining & Petrochemical Operations into two areas: Refining & Marketing and Chemicals & Materials. Internal reporting and the relevant information provided to the chief operating decision-maker in order to assess performance and allocate resources has been updated to reflect the current organizational structure.

In order to comply with the provisions of the international reporting standard that regulates segment reporting (IFRS 8), the business segments will be reported as follows: Exploration & Production, Refining & Marketing, and Chemicals & Materials.

The segment Exploration & Production (former Upstream) engages in the businesses of oil and gas exploration, development, and production. The produced oil and gas are primarily sold within the OMV Group.

Refining & Marketing (formerly the fuels part of the Downstream Oil and Downstream Gas business) combines the Refining division and the Marketing & Trading division. The Refining division is accountable for all activities in refining operations, supply of products, bio and intermediate feedstock, as well as gas logistics of the OMV Group. The Marketing division consists of natural gas supply and marketing, retail mobility and convenience, fuel sales and marketing, as well as crude supply and trading, and commercial excellence.

The segment Chemicals & Materials (former petrochemicals part of the Downstream segment including Borealis) combines all existing chemicals and circular economy activities in OMV Group.

Segment reporting information of earlier periods has been adjusted accordingly to comply with IFRS 8.29. The tables below depict the segment reporting information as reported in 2020 and restated after the reorganization:

Divestments

As per May 14, 2021, OMV Petrom finalized the sale of its 100% share in Kom-Munai LLP and Tasbulat Oil Corporation LLP (both based in Aktau, Kazakhstan) to Magnetic Oil Limited. The sales transaction did not have a significant impact on the income statement.

On August 1, 2021, SapuraOMV Upstream Sdn. Bhd. sold its entire interests held by SapuraOMV Upstream (PM) Inc. in various producing assets located offshore Peninsular Malaysia to Jadestone Energy PLC, a Singapore-based, London-listed independent oil and gas company. The sales transaction did not have a significant impact on the income statement.

Refining & Marketing Divestments

On May 31, 2021, OMV closed the transaction to sell its 51% interest in Gas Connect Austria GmbH (based in Vienna) to VERBUND. The purchase price agreed for the 51% OMV stake in Gas Connect Austria GmbH amounts to EUR 271 mn, less dividend payouts for the 2020 business year totaling around EUR 33 mn (for the 51% OMV interest). In addition, VERBUND assumes the outstanding liabilities of Gas Connect Austria GmbH to OMV of around EUR 212 mn. Under the conditions of the purchase agreement, VERBUND has paid approximately EUR 451 mn to OMV. OMV has settled a cash pool liability to a subsidiary of Gas Connect Austria GmbH of around EUR 7 mn. The sales transaction did not have a significant impact on the income statement.

As per September 30, 2021, OMV Downstream GmbH finalized the sale of its 40% share in SMATRICS GmbH & Co KG (based in Vienna) and its 40% share in E-Mobility Provider Austria GmbH (based in Vienna) to VERBUND. Both companies were previously consolidated at-equity. The sales transaction did not have a significant impact on the income statement.

Chemicals & Materials Investments

In June 2021, OMV subscribed through Borealis Group to a new share issue, thus acquiring 10% in RENASCI NV, a company incorporated in Belgium. RENASCI NV is principally engaged in the development of the proprietary processes and know how about various technologies regarding waste treatment and recycling. This investment is in line with Borealis' strategy to grow its circular economy business. Through the shareholder agreement, Borealis is guaranteed two seats on the board of RENASCI NV and participates in major significant financial and operating decisions. The group has therefore determined that it has significant influence over this entity, even though it only holds 10% of the voting rights. Therefore the investment is accounted for as an associated company.

Refining & Marketing

The plan to divest OMV's business in Slovenia, where OMV currently operates 120 filling stations, led to the reclassification of assets and liabilities in Slovenia as held for sale in Q1/21 without having an impact on the income statement at that time. On June 8, 2021, OMV and MOL Group reached an agreement for MOL Group to acquire OMV Slovenia. The transaction is subject to required regulatory approvals and closing is expected in 2022. The agreed purchase price amounts to EUR 301 mn (100% share). As part of the agreement, MOL Group will assume outstanding lease liabilities, resulting in a total enterprise value for the business of approximately EUR 346 mn. The purchase price is subject to customary net working capital and net debt adjustments.

Chemicals & Materials

OMV plans to sell the nitrogen business unit that is part of the Borealis Group (75% held by OMV) including fertilizer, technical nitrogen, and melamine products. This led to the reclassification of the disposal group to assets and liabilities held for sale in Q1/21 without having an impact on the income statement at that time. The company's share in fertilizer production sites in the Netherlands and Belgium ("Rosier") is presently not being considered within the potential sales process.

Seasonality and cyclicality

Seasonality is of significance, especially in the Refining & Marketing and Chemicals & Materials Business Segments. For details, please refer to the "Business Segments" section.
