Second quarter 2022 (Q2/22) compared to second quarter 2021 (Q2/21)

Consolidated sales revenues increased substantially by 104% to EUR 14,793 mn due to significantly higher market prices. The clean CCS Operating Result rose considerably by EUR 1,638 mn to a record EUR 2,937 mn due to better performance of Exploration & Production and Refining & Marketing. The clean Operating Result of Chemicals & Materials decreased slightly to EUR 602 mn (Q2/21: EUR 647 mn), while the clean CCS Operating Result of Refining & Marketing improved significantly to EUR 745 mn (Q2/21: EUR 166 mn). In Exploration & Production, the clean Operating Result grew markedly to EUR 1,617 mn (Q2/21: EUR 512 mn). The consolidation line was EUR (19) mn in Q2/22 (Q2/21: EUR (10) mn).

The clean CCS Group tax rate came in at 37%, higher than in the same quarter last year (Q2/21: 33%), due to a significantly higher contribution from Exploration & Production, in particular from countries with a high tax regime, partly offset by a higher contribution from Refining & Marketing and from at-equity accounted investments. The clean CCS net income rose substantially to EUR 1,860 mn (Q2/21: EUR 853 mn). The clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders of the parent was EUR 1,418 mn (Q2/21: EUR 643 mn). Clean CCS Earnings Per Share grew to EUR 4.34 (Q2/21: EUR 1.97).

Net special items of EUR 543 mn were recorded in Q2/22 (Q2/21: EUR (127) mn) and were mainly driven by the sale of filling stations in Germany in May 2022, the Borouge IPO, and the revaluation of the fertilizer business, partly offset by temporary hedging effects. CCS effects of EUR 196 mn were recognized in Q2/22. The reported Operating Result improved to EUR 3,676 mn (Q2/21: EUR 1,238 mn).

The net financial result increased to EUR (14) mn (Q2/21: EUR (31) mn). This development was mainly due to the improved foreign exchange result, which was partly offset by the lower net interest result attributable mostly to higher interest expenses in relation to the discounting of receivables. The Group tax rate came in at 31% (Q2/21: 33%), while net income increased to EUR 2,513 mn (Q2/21: EUR 809 mn). Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent was EUR 1,947 mn (Q2/21: EUR 622 mn). Earnings Per Share rose considerably to EUR 5.96 (Q2/21: EUR 1.90).

As of June 30, 2022, the net debt excluding leases decreased to EUR 3,113 mn from EUR 7,148 mn on June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, the gearing ratio excluding leases stood at 12% (June 30, 2021: 34%). For further information on the gearing ratio, please see section "Financial liabilities" of the consolidated interim financial statements. The leverage ratio defined as (net debt including leases) / (equity + net debt including leases) amounted to 15% as of June 30, 2022 (June 30, 2021: 28%).

Total capital expenditure reached EUR 797 mn (Q2/21: EUR 659 mn) and was driven by organic projects in all three business segments, especially in Exploration & Production and Chemicals & Materials. In Q2/22, organic capital expenditure increased by 26% to EUR 797 mn (Q2/21: EUR 632 mn), mainly due to higher investments in Refining & Marketing and Chemicals & Materials.

January to June 2022 (6m/22) compared to January to June 2021 (6m/21)

Consolidated sales revenues increased by 124% to EUR 30,621 mn due to significantly higher market prices. The clean CCS Operating Result rose significantly from EUR 2,169 mn in 6m/21 to EUR 5,558 mn, mainly driven by better performance of Exploration & Production and Refining & Marketing. The clean Operating Result of Chemicals & Materials improved slightly to EUR 1,187 mn (6m/21: EUR 1,089 mn), while the clean CCS Operating Result of Refining & Marketing grew considerably to EUR 1,102 mn (6m/21: EUR 245 mn). In Exploration & Production, the clean Operating Result increased sharply to EUR 3,385 mn (6m/21: EUR 903 mn). The consolidation line was EUR (101) mn in 6m/22 (6m/21: EUR (44) mn).

The clean CCS Group tax rate in 6m/22 increased to 41% (6m/21: 31%) due to a higher contribution from Exploration & Production, in particular from countries with a high tax regime. The clean CCS net income went up substantially to EUR 3,245 mn (6m/21: EUR 1,452 mn). The clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders amounted to EUR 2,488 mn (6m/21: EUR 1,067 mn). Clean CCS Earnings Per Share rose to EUR 7.61 (6m/21: EUR 3.26).

Net special items of EUR 652 mn were recorded in 6m/22 (6m/21: EUR (64) mn) and were mainly driven by temporary hedging effects, the sale of filling stations in Germany in May 2022, the Borouge IPO, and the revaluation of the fertilizer business. These were partly offset by non-cash value adjustments related to the Yuzhno-Russkoye gas field, including a remeasurement of the contractual position toward Gazprom on the redetermination of the reserves and historical currency effects. CCS effects of EUR 630 mn were recognized in 6m/22. The reported Operating Result increased significantly to EUR 6,840 mn (6m/21: EUR 2,396 mn).

The net financial result decreased to EUR (1,056) mn (6m/21: EUR (77) mn). This development was mainly related to the impairment of the Nord Stream 2 loan in the amount of EUR 1,004 mn and was partly offset by the improved foreign exchange result. The Group tax rate came in at 42% (6m/21: 29%), while net income increased to EUR 3,368 mn (6m/21: EUR 1,644 mn). Net income attributable to stockholders of the parent was EUR 2,493 mn (6m/21: EUR 1,276 mn). Earnings Per Share rose sharply to EUR 7.63 (6m/21: EUR 3.90).

Total capital expenditure amounted to EUR 2,120 mn (6m/21: EUR 1,152 mn) and was driven by organic projects in all three business segments, especially in Chemicals & Materials and Exploration & Production, as well as the equity injection to finance the Borouge 4 project. Organic capital expenditure went up by 64% to EUR 1,832 mn (6m/21: EUR 1,119 mn) mainly due to an

increase in investments in Chemicals & Materials, largely triggered by non-cash leases related to the construction of the PDH plant in Kallo, Belgium, and in Refining & Marketing.

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.

Second quarter 2022 (Q2/22) compared to second quarter 2021 (Q2/21)

In Q2/22, cash flow from operating activities excluding net working capital effects increased to EUR 2,365 mn (Q2/21: EUR 1,725 mn), primarily due to higher prices. Net working capital effects generated a cash outflow of EUR (1,904) mn, compared to EUR (164) mn in Q2/21, predominantly driven by the gas business, mainly stemming from the filling of our natural gas storage facilities and increased natural gas prices. As a result, cash flow from operating activities came in at EUR 461 mn in Q2/22 (Q2/21: EUR 1,561 mn).

Cash flow from investing activities showed an inflow of EUR 1,026 mn compared to an outflow of EUR (111) mn in Q2/21. Q2/22 included inflows from the Initial Public Offering of Borouge PLC in the amount of EUR 745 mn, a partial loan repayment from Bayport Polymers LLC of EUR 602 mn, and the divestment of the retail network in Germany of EUR 416 mn.

Free cash flow amounted to EUR 1,487 mn (Q2/21: EUR 1,450 mn).

Cash flow from financing activities recorded an outflow of EUR (955) mn compared to EUR (1,785) mn in Q2/21, as Q2/21 was impacted by higher repayments of short- and long-term borrowings, while Q2/22 included higher dividend payments.

Free cash flow after dividends decreased to EUR 532 mn (Q2/21: EUR 604 mn).

Organic free cash flow before dividends amounted to EUR (190) mn (Q2/21: EUR 948 mn), and was significantly impacted by negative net working capital effects, mainly stemming from the filling of our natural gas storage facilities.

January to June 2022 (6m/22) compared to January to June 2021 (6m/21)

In 6m/22, cash flow from operating activities excluding net working capital effects grew considerably to EUR 5,715 mn (6m/21: EUR 3,436 mn), primarily due to an improved market environment. Net working capital effects generated a cash outflow of EUR (2,578) mn, predominantly driven by the gas business, mainly stemming from the filling of our natural gas storage facilities and increased natural gas prices. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 3,137 mn, up by EUR 511 mn compared to 6m/21.

Cash flow from investing activities showed an outflow of EUR (132) mn in 6m/22, compared to EUR (763) mn in 6m/21. Cash flow from investing activities in 6m/22 included inflows from the Initial Public Offering of Borouge PLC in the amount of EUR 745 mn, a partial loan repayment from Bayport Polymers LLC of EUR 602 mn, and the divestment of the retail network in Germany of EUR 416 mn. Moreover, cash flow from investing activities in 6m/22 included outflows from the capital contribution to Borouge 4 LLC in the amount of EUR (287) mn as well as cash disposed of in the amount of EUR (208) mn related to the loss of control of JSC GAZPROM YRGM Development.

Free cash flow amounted to EUR 3,006 mn (6m/21: EUR 1,863 mn).

Cash flow from financing activities showed an outflow of EUR (1,440) mn compared to EUR (1,593) mn in 6m/21. The deviation was mainly related to higher repayments of long-term borrowings in 6m/21, partly offset by increased dividend payments in 6m/22.

Free cash flow after dividends increased to EUR 1,876 mn in 6m/22 (6m/21: EUR 980 mn).

Organic free cash flow before dividends amounted to EUR 1,873 mn (6m/21: EUR 1,479 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 2021 Annual Report (pages 76–79).

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.

OMV continues to closely monitor the ongoing Russian war on Ukraine and any additional sanctions and countersanctions resulting from it. The Company regularly reviews the potential further impact on its business activities. Disruptions in Russian commodity flows to Europe could result in further increases in European energy prices, which, after a phase of stabilization at a high level, increased again towards the end of the second quarter 2022. Sanctions on Russia and countersanctions issued by Russia could lead to disruptions in global supply chains and shortages in, e.g., energy products, raw materials, agricultural products, and metals, and consequently further increase the risk of cost inflation.

OMV purchased on average 6.67 TWh per month of natural gas under long-term supply agreements with Gazprom in Germany and Austria in the second quarter 2022, with curtailments of gas delivery volumes experienced since the middle of June, which required unwinding of hedges and resulted in a negative financial impact for OMV. From today's point of view, OMV does not expect natural gas exports from Russia to stop entirely, however, the uncertainty regarding future curtailments remains and could result in further losses in case the hedged volume deviates from the actual deliveries. In the event of further or even full gas supply disruptions from Russia, OMV can use gas in storage to supply customers and has access to other liquid gas market hubs in Europe until the regulator implements energy steering measures. In addition, OMV works on increasing non-Russian gas import volumes, e.g. from Norway and on securing cross-border gas transport capacities, in particular to Austria. OMV continues to closely monitor developments and regularly evaluates 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. In July 2022, OMV managed to secure 40 TWh of additional transport capacities to Austria for the gas year starting October 1, 2022.

On June 3, 2022, an incident occurred at the Schwechat refinery, which leads to a delayed start-up of the refinery after the regular maintenance turnaround. Immediately after the incident, a broad-based on-site task force was set up with the remit of investigating the incident and at the same time working on restoring operations. The findings so far indicate that it should be possible for the refinery to restart fully operational and fully utilized in September/October. For the duration of the repairs, OMV has established a new supply system to supply the markets served by the OMV Schwechat refinery. OMV is using the capacities of its refinery network and has maximized distillation capacities of smaller crude distillation units. OMV is also cooperating closely with partners to make up for potential fuel supply shortages in the core markets.

The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a major impact on global economic development. Increases in COVID-19 cases around the world following the emergence of new virus variants combined with disruptions in supply chains, high price inflation and rising interest rates could lead to a significant deterioration in economic growth.

The credit quality of OMV's counterparty portfolio could be negatively influenced by the risk factors mentioned above.

The consequences of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Schwechat refinery incident, the COVID-19 pandemic and other disruptions currently being observed, as well as the extent and duration of the economic impact cannot be reliably estimated at this stage. 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.

Outlook

Market environment

In 2022, OMV expects the average Brent crude oil price to be above USD 100/bbl (previous forecast: around USD 95/bbl; 2021: USD 71/bbl). For 2022, the average realized gas price is anticipated to be around EUR 45/MWh (2021: EUR 16.5/MWh).

Group

▸ In 2022, organic CAPEX is projected to come in at around EUR 3.7 bn1 (previous forecast: EUR 3.5 bn; 2021: EUR 2.6 bn), including non-cash effective CAPEX related to leases of around EUR 0.6 bn. The increase compared to the previous forecast mainly reflects the consolidation of the nitrogen business for a longer period than initially projected, additional costs following the Schwechat refinery incident, as well as higher CAPEX in E&P primarily due to FX effects.

Chemicals & Materials

  • ▸ In 2022, the ethylene indicator margin Europe is expected to be above the 2021 level (previous forecast: around 2021 level; 2021: EUR 468/t). The propylene indicator margin Europe is expected to be above the 2021 level (previous forecast: around 2021 level; 2021: EUR 453/t).
  • ▸ In 2022, the steam cracker utilization rate in Europe is expected to be below the 2021 level (previous forecast: slightly below the 2021 level; 2021: 90%). A turnaround is currently underway at the Burghausen steam cracker. Increased utilization of the Schwechat steam cracker is expected in September/October when the refinery is due to be operational again.
  • ▸ In 2022, the polyethylene indicator margin Europe is forecast to be around EUR 400/t (2021: EUR 582/t). The polypropylene indicator margin Europe is expected to be around EUR 500/t (previous forecast: EUR 600/t; 2021: EUR 735/t).

  • ▸ The OMV refining indicator margin Europe is expected to be around USD 15/bbl (previous forecast: significantly above the 2021 level; 2021: USD 3.7/bbl).
  • ▸ In 2022, fuels and other sales volumes in OMV's markets in Europe are projected to be slightly lower than in 2021 (previous forecast: slightly higher than in 2021; 2021: 16.3 mn t). Commercial margins are forecast to be below those in 2021 (previous forecast: slightly below the 2021 level). Retail margins are forecast to be significantly below the 2021 level.
  • ▸ In 2022, the utilization rate of the European refineries is expected to be significantly below the prior-year level (previous forecast: around the prior-year level; 2021: 88%). A turnaround is currently underway at the Burghausen refinery. The Schwechat refinery is expected to be operational in September/October.
  • ▸ Organic CAPEX in Refining & Marketing is forecast at around EUR 0.8 bn in 2022 (2021: EUR 0.6 bn).

Exploration & Production

  • ▸ OMV expects total production to be around 390 kboe/d in 2022 (2021: 486 kboe/d). As of March 1, 2022, Russian volumes are no longer included in the total production due to a change in consolidation method.
  • ▸ Organic CAPEX for Exploration & Production is anticipated to come in at around EUR 1.4 bn in 2022 (previous forecast: around EUR 1.3 bn; 2021: EUR 1.1 bn).
  • ▸ Exploration and Appraisal (E&A) expenditure is expected to be around EUR 220 mn in 2022 (2021: EUR 210 mn).

Second quarter 2022 (Q2/22) compared to second quarter 2021 (Q2/21)

  • ▸ The clean Operating Result decreased by 7% to EUR 602 mn, mainly due to a normalization of polyolefin margins in Europe, which were at record highs in Q2/21. This was partially compensated for by a substantially higher contribution of the nitrogen business and an increased contribution from the Borealis JVs.
  • ▸ The result of the Borealis JVs rose by 18%, mainly due to increased sales volumes and higher realized margins by Borouge.
  • ▸ The utilization rate of the steam crackers in Europe experienced a strong decline following a planned turnaround at the Stenungsund steam cracker, but also following decreased utilization of the Schwechat steam cracker as a result of the planned turnaround and the incident at the crude distillation unit in the Schwechat refinery.
  • ▸ On June 3, 2022, Borouge PLC was successfully listed on ADX, the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange. Based on the final offer price of AED 2.45 per share, the Initial Public Offering (IPO) has raised gross proceeds of EUR 1.9 bn for the offering of 10% of the Companies' total issued share capital. Upon listing, ADNOC holds a 54% stake and Borealis a 36% stake in Borouge PLC.

The clean Operating Result declined by EUR 45 mn to EUR 602 mn (Q2/21: EUR 647 mn). While European polyolefin margins normalized compared to the record highs seen in Q2/21, the contribution from the nitrogen business and from Borealis JVs increased considerably.

The contribution of OMV base chemicals came in slightly higher, a strong increase in ethylene and propylene indicator margins was largely offset by the negative impact of lower utilization of the Schwechat steam cracker and higher alternative feedstock costs. The ethylene indicator margin Europe increased by 38% to EUR 663/t (Q2/21: EUR 480/t), while the propylene indicator margin Europe rose by 47% to EUR 673/t (Q2/21: EUR 457/t). Strong European demand and shortages in supply led to higher olefin prices, more than compensating for increases in naphtha prices. Propylene in particular continued to see a tight supply/demand balance. The stronger market environment was to a large extent offset by lower production due to the reduced steam cracker utilization rate in Schwechat and the increased cost of the feedstock mix, which also includes other intermediates besides naphtha. In light of the increased price levels, higher customer discounts were recorded, which in turn benefited the polyolefin business to a large extent, as the majority of the olefin sales are within the Group. In addition, lower benzene margins weighed on the result.

The utilization rate of the European steam crackers operated by OMV and Borealis went down considerably, by 37 percentage points, to 56% in Q2/22 (Q2/21: 93%). This was mainly due to the planned turnaround at the Stenungsund steam cracker, which

lasted the entire second quarter. In addition, the planned turnaround that took place at the Schwechat refinery and the incident at the crude distillation unit on June 3 also led to a reduced steam cracker utilization rate.

The contribution of Borealis excluding JVs decreased slightly by EUR 18 mn to EUR 412 mn (Q2/21: EUR 430 mn). Normalized polyolefin margins, compared to the record highs seen in Q2/21, and a reduced base chemicals business were to a large extent offset by the exceptional performance of the nitrogen business and higher inventory effects. In the base chemicals business, strong increases in olefin indicator margins were more than offset by the impact of the planned turnaround at the Stenungsund steam cracker, negative inventory valuation effects, and larger customer discounts. The contribution of the polyolefin business saw a decline in light of substantially lower polyolefin indicator margins, which were to some extent compensated for by higher inventory effects and larger feedstock discounts. Polyolefin indicator margins declined from the record high levels in Q2/21, when the market experienced an extraordinary tight supply/demand balance, driven by a heavy maintenance season and worldwide logistical constraints. The European polyethylene indicator margin declined by 45% to EUR 442/t (Q2/21: EUR 803/t), while the European polypropylene indicator margin decreased to a lesser extent by 39% to EUR 543/t (Q2/21: EUR 898/t). Polyolefin indicator margins in Q2/22 experienced the impact of rising feedstock prices, softer demand, and the increased availability of imported volumes from the Middle East and the US. Realized margins for both standard and specialty products were positively impacted by larger feedstock discounts and stronger prices above market indicators for certain product categories. Polyethylene sales volumes came in similar to Q2/21, while polypropylene sales volumes declined by 11%. The decrease in sales volumes was mainly stemming from the consumer products and infrastructure industries, while volumes in the energy industry saw slight increases. The result contribution from the nitrogen business rose sharply compared to Q2/21. Fertilizer prices continued to see unprecedented highs given the tight supply situation and managed to more than offset the increased natural gas prices and negative inventor y effects.

The contribution of Borealis JVs increased by EUR 24 mn to EUR 159 mn in Q2/22 (Q2/21: EUR 136 mn), mainly following an increased contribution from Borouge. Polyethylene sales volumes from the JVs increased by 14%, while polypropylene sales volumes from the JVs grew to a greater extent, by 38%. In Q2/21, sales volumes at Borouge were negatively impacted by the implementation of an advanced ERP system and by logistical constraints. In Q2/22, Borouge benefited from the ramp-up of the new polypropylene unit (PP5) and from increased sales from inventory. Compared to Q2/21, Borouge managed to increase the realized premia to benchmark prices on both polyethylene and polypropylene, reflecting the differentiated product mix and the ability to capture regional price opportunities. In the course of Q2/22, Borouge experienced an outage of a Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) unit, which is currently expected to last until at least the end of 2022. The ethylene volumes that could not be processed in the LDPE unit were either converted to propylene in the Olefin Conversion Unit (OCU) or sold externally, largely mitigating the financial impact of the LDPE outage. Compared to Q2/21, Baystar experienced a softer market environment as increased ethane prices weighed on margins, while sales volumes remained at similar levels.

Net special items amounted to EUR 639 mn (Q2/21: EUR 31 mn) and were mainly due to the successful listing of a 10% share in Borouge, which led to a gain from the disposal of around EUR 0.3 bn. In addition, the binding offer received by AGROFERT for Borealis' nitrogen business triggered a write-up of around EUR 0.3 bn. The Operating Result of Chemicals & Materials nearly doubled and came in at EUR 1,242 mn in Q2/22 compared to EUR 678 mn in Q2/21.

Capital expenditure in Chemicals & Materials increased in Q2/22 to EUR 262 mn (Q2/21: EUR 236 mn). In Q2/22, besides ordinary running business investments, organic capital expenditure was predominantly related to investments for the construction of the new propane dehydrogenation plant in Belgium by Borealis and related to the construction of the ReOil® demo plant in Austria.

January to June 2022 (6m/22) compared to January to June 2021 (6m/21)

The clean Operating Result grew in 6m/22 by 9% to EUR 1,187 mn (6m/21: EUR 1,089 mn), mainly attributable to a substantially higher contribution from the nitrogen business and positive inventory valuation effects, which were to some extent offset by a normalization of European polyolefin margins.

The contribution of OMV base chemicals decreased despite higher ethylene and propylene indicator margins. The ethylene indicator margin Europe grew by 24% to EUR 546/t (6m/21: EUR 442/t), while the propylene indicator margin Europe increased by 37% to EUR 559/t (6m/21: EUR 407/t). Both saw strong demand throughout 6m/22 and supply shortages which led to increased prices, more than compensating for higher naphtha prices. Propylene in particular continued to see a tight supply/demand balance. The stronger indicator margins were more than offset by higher customer discounts in light of the increased price levels, which in turn benefited the polyolefin business to a large extent, as the majority of the olefin sales are within the Group. Decreased production due to the reduced steam cracker utilization rate at the Schwechat steam cracker, the higher cost of the feedstock mix, which also includes other intermediates besides naphtha, rising utility prices, and lower benzene margins also negatively impacted the result.

The utilization rate of the European steam crackers operated by OMV and Borealis went down by 15 percentage points to 76% (6m/21: 91%). 6m/22 was impacted by the planned turnaround of the Stenungsund steam cracker that took place in Q2/22. In addition, the planned turnaround that took place at the Schwechat refinery and the incident at the crude distillation unit on June 3 also led to a lower steam cracker utilization rate.

The contribution of Borealis excluding JVs grew by EUR 180 mn to EUR 881 mn (6m/21: EUR 701 mn), primarily due to the outstanding performance of the nitrogen business and positive inventory valuation effects. The Borealis base chemicals business experienced a decline despite improved olefin indicator margins, mainly due to the impact of the planned turnaround at the Stenungsund steam cracker, higher customer discounts, and reduced positive inventory valuation effects. The polyolefin business saw a normalization of polyolefin indicator margins, which was to a certain extent offset by higher feedstock discounts, higher realized margins, and positive inventory valuation effects. In 6m/21, indicator margins saw strong demand in the European markets coupled with a tight supply/demand balance, driven by a heavy maintenance season and worldwide logistical constraints. The polyethylene indicator margin Europe decreased by 35% to EUR 440/t (6m/21: EUR 673/t), while the polypropylene indicator margin Europe saw less of a decline, by 21%, to EUR 595/t (6m/21: EUR 750/t). Polyolefin indicator margins experienced in 6m/22 the impact of rising feedstock prices, softer demand, and the increased availability of imported volumes from the Middle East and the US in 6m/22. Realized margins for both standard and specialty products were positively impacted by higher feedstock discounts and stronger prices above market indicators for certain product categories. Positive inventory valuation effects also supported the result. Polyethylene sales volumes went down by 4%, while polypropylene sales volumes decreased by 8% compared to 6m/21. The decrease in sales volumes was mainly stemming from the consumer products industry, while the automotive and infrastructure industries softened slightly. The contribution from the nitrogen business saw an extraordinary increase compared to 6m/21. Fertilizer prices were at unprecedented highs due to a tight supply situation and managed to more than offset the increased natural gas prices. The reclassification as asset held for sale also impacted the result positively.

The contribution of Borealis JVs came in EUR 36 mn lower at EUR 223 mn (6m/21: EUR 259 mn), mainly due to a lower contribution from Borouge as a one-time effect of pension provisions impacted the result in Q1/22 negatively. Polyethylene sales volumes from the JVs grew by 6%, while polypropylene sales volumes from the JVs increased to a greater extent, by 20%. 6m/21 sales volumes at Borouge were negatively impacted by the implementation of an advanced ERP system and by logistical constraints. In 6m/22, Borouge benefited in particular from the ramp-up of the new polypropylene unit (PP5) and from increased sales from inventory. In addition, Borouge managed to increase the realized premia on benchmark prices on both polyethylene and polypropylene, reflecting the differentiated product mix and the ability to capture regional price opportunities. In the course of Q2/22, Borouge experienced an outage of a Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) unit, which is currently expected to last until at least the end of 2022. The ethylene volumes that could not be processed in the LDPE unit were either converted to propylene in the Olefin Conversion Unit (OCU) or sold externally, largely mitigating the financial impact of the LDPE outage. Compared to 6m/21, Baystar experienced a softer market environment as increased ethane prices weighed on margins, while sales volumes remained at similar levels.

Net special items amounted to EUR 616 mn (6m/21: EUR 54 mn) and were mainly due to the successful listing of a 10% share in Borouge, which led to a gain from the disposal of around EUR 0.3 bn. In addition, the binding offer received by AGROFERT for Borealis' nitrogen business triggered a write-up of around EUR 0.3 bn. The Operating Result of Chemicals & Materials grew substantially to EUR 1,803 mn compared to EUR 1,143 mn in 6m/21.

Capital expenditure in Chemicals & Materials amounted to EUR 1,144 mn (6m/21: EUR 366 mn). The increase was driven by an equity injection in Borouge 4 of around EUR 0.3 bn in Q1/22 and growth in organic capital expenditure. In 6m/22, besides ordinary running business investments, organic capital expenditure was predominantly related to investments for the construction by Borealis of the new propane dehydrogenation plant in Belgium, which included non-cash effective CAPEX related to leases in the amount of around EUR 0.5 bn and to the construction of the ReOil® demo plant in Austria.

5 As of Q2/22, the refining indicator margin reflects the change in the crude oil reference price from Urals to Brent at OMV Petrom.

6 Actual refining margins realized by OMV may vary from the OMV refining indicator margin due to factors including different crude oil slate, product yield, and operating conditions.

Second quarter 2022 (Q2/22) compared to second quarter 2021 (Q2/21)

  • ▸ The clean CCS Operating Result rose strongly to EUR 745 mn, driven by exceptionally high refining indicator margins, a strong result in Gas & Power Eastern Europe, and the significantly improved performance of ADNOC Refining & Trading, only partly offset by the turnaround and incident at the Schwechat refinery and a lower retail result.
  • ▸ The Gas & Power Eastern Europe business had a considerably higher contribution, mainly stemming from higher gas and power margins.
  • ▸ ADNOC Refining showed a substantially higher result due to higher refining margins, and further efficiency improvements, while ADNOC Global Trading benefited from the volatile market environment.
  • ▸ The retail business contributed less due to lower retail margins, higher utilities costs, and the sale of 285 filling stations in Germany in May 2022.

The clean CCS Operating Result increased substantially to EUR 745 mn (Q2/21: EUR 166 mn). Very strong refining indicator margins, a better result in Gas & Power Eastern Europe, and a significantly higher contribution from ADNOC Refining & Trading more than compensated for the negative production effects caused by the events at the Schwechat refinery, higher costs driven by turnaround activities, lower retail result and a lower contribution from margin hedges.

As of the second quarter, as Urals is no longer a relevant reference, OMV Petrom changed the crude oil transfer price from Urals to Brent. As a consequence, the Group refining indicator margin calculation is now entirely based on Brent. The change triggered a segment profit shift between R&M and E&P, with a neutral impact at Group level. Historical financials of the divisions have not been adjusted, but the refining indicator margins for previous periods have been recalculated and comments on the quarterly and yearly development refer to them. For transparency reasons, both old and new refining indicator margins are provided.

The OMV refining indicator margin Europe strengthened remarkably to USD 20.5/bbl (Q2/21: USD 2.2/bbl). Much higher cracks for diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel were only slightly offset by rising fuel and losses due to the further Brent price increase and lower heavy fuel oil cracks. In Q2/22, the utilization rate of the European refineries decreased by 27 percentage points to 58% (Q2/21: 85%), mainly following reduced utilization at the Schwechat refinery due to the planned turnaround and the incident on June 3, 2022, when during a legally required water pressure test in the finalization phase of the refinery turnaround, damage occurred to the main crude oil distillation unit. Partially offsetting was a higher utilization rate at the Burghausen refinery following a recovery in demand for refined products. At 3.8 mn t, fuels and other sales volumes Europe decreased by 5% due to lower volumes following the Schwechat incident and higher product prices, which was offset to a certain extent by increased jet fuel sales. The commercial business showed a slightly lower contribution mainly driven by price caps on gasoline and diesel in Hungary and Slovenia, leading

to lower commercial margins. This was partially offset by higher jet fuel demand. The retail business contributed significantly less to the result following much lower fuel margins due to price regulations in some markets, as well as due to ongoing pressure from high product quotations and higher utilities and fixed costs. The sale of the German filling stations also resulted in the busines s making a lower contribution to the result compared to the same quarter last year. Partly compensating was the improved non-fuel business performance driven by rebounded customer frequency.

The contribution of ADNOC Refining & Trading to the clean CCS Operating Result increased significantly to EUR 112 mn (Q2/21: EUR (5) mn), mainly as a result of higher refining margins, and further efficiency improvements in ADNOC Refining. In addition, ADNOC Global Trading provided a strong support to the result compared to the same period of last year, as it profited from market volatility.

The contribution of the Gas & Power Eastern Europe business to the result rose substantially to EUR 167 mn (Q2/21: EUR 14 mn), mainly due to higher gas margins, as well as a better power result driven by higher power selling prices and higher production, only partly offset by a newly introduced power overtaxation regulation in Romania.

Net special items amounted to EUR 363 mn (Q2/21: EUR (13) mn) and were primarily related to the sale of 285 filling stations in Germany in May 2022, partly offset by commodity derivatives. In Q2/22, CCS effects of EUR 196 mn were recorded as a consequence of much higher crude oil prices. The Operating Result of Refining & Marketing increased significantly to EUR 1,304 mn (Q2/21: EUR 219 mn).

Capital expenditure in Refining & Marketing was EUR 182 mn (Q2/21: EUR 118 mn). In Q2/22, organic capital expenditure was predominantly related to investments in the European refineries, turnaround activities, and retail stations.

January to June 2022 (6m/22) compared to January to June 2021 (6m/21)

The clean CCS Operating Result rose considerably to EUR 1,102 mn (6m/21: EUR 245 mn). Very strong refining indicator margins, a significantly better result in Gas & Power Eastern Europe, and a remarkable ADNOC Refining & Trading result more than compensated for the negative production effects following the turnaround and the incident at the Schwechat refinery, higher costs driven by turnaround activities, lower retail result and lower contribution from margin hedges.

The OMV refining indicator margin Europe went up significantly to USD 13.4/bbl (6m/21: USD 2.1/bbl). Higher cracks for diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel were only partially offset by rising fuel and losses due to the further Brent price increase and lower heavy fuel oil cracks. In 6m/22, the utilization rate of the European refineries decreased by 7 percentage points to 76% (6m/21: 83%), mainly following the turnaround and the incident at the Schwechat refinery in the second quarter of the year. At 7.5 mn t, fuels and other sales volumes in Europe increased slightly by 2%, mainly driven by demand recovery in Q1/22 and partially offset by lower volumes following the Schwechat incident. In the commercial business, demand for jet fuel grew driven by the easing of travel restrictions, while the price cap regulations in Hungary and Slovenia had a partially offsetting negative impact on the result. The contribution to the result from the retail business decreased significantly, driven mainly by lower fuel unit margins following the price caps in several countries. This was partially offset by a recovery in both fuel and non-fuel business sales due to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Retail sales volumes saw an increase of 6% compared to the same period last year.

In 6m/22, the contribution of ADNOC Refining & Trading to the clean CCS Operating Result grew significantly to EUR 132 mn (6m/21: EUR (31) mn), mainly as a result of higher refining margins, and further efficiency improvements in ADNOC Refining. In addition, ADNOC Global Trading provided a strong support to the result compared to the same period of last year, as it profited from market volatility.

The contribution of the Gas & Power Eastern Europe business to the result rose substantially to EUR 315 mn (6m/21: EUR 51 mn), mainly due to the positive impact of increasing selling prices, as well as better power result driven by higher volumes sold and higher power selling prices.

Net special items amounted to EUR 312 mn (6m/21: EUR 3 mn) and were primarily related to the sale of the German filling stations in May 2022, partly offset by commodity derivatives. CCS effects of EUR 630 mn were recorded in 6m/22 as a consequence of a sharp climb of the crude oil prices. Consequently, the Operating Result of Refining & Marketing increased significantly to EUR 2,045 mn (6m/21: EUR 550 mn).

Capital expenditure in Refining & Marketing amounted to EUR 321 mn (6m/21: EUR 198 mn). Organic capital expenditure in 6m/22 was predominantly related to investments in the European refineries, turnaround activities, and retail stations.

Second quarter 2022 (Q2/22) compared to second quarter 2021 (Q2/21)

  • ▸ The clean Operating Result grew sharply to EUR 1,617 mn thanks to substantially higher oil and gas prices, offsetting lower operational performance.
  • ▸ Production was down by 145 kboe/d to 345 kboe/d, mainly due to the change in the consolidation method of Russian operations, planned maintenance, and unplanned outages at various locations.
  • ▸ Production cost increased to USD 8.3/boe due to the change in consolidation method of Russian operations as of March 1, 2022.

In Q2/22, the clean Operating Result rose sharply from EUR 512 mn in Q2/21 to EUR 1,617 mn. A favorable market environment was confronted with lower operational performance. Net market effects boosted returns by EUR 1,555 mn owing to the persistently strong commodity price growth for both crude oil and natural gas, as well as a positive FX influence. Operational performance lowered the result by EUR 461 mn. Production decreased mainly due to the change in the consolidation method of Russian operations, but also in Libya, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, and Romania, while production increased in the United Arab Emirates. Gas Marketing Western Europe contributed negatively to the result, mainly due to supply curtailments, impairments of receivables and valuation adjustments.

In Q2/22, net special items amounted to EUR (451) mn (Q2/21: EUR (142) mn), with the majority arising from valuation effects of commodity derivatives in Gas Marketing Western Europe and to a lesser extent from impairments on a number of assets. The Operating Result strengthened to EUR 1,166 mn (Q2/21: EUR 371 mn).

Production cost excluding royalties increased to USD 8.3/boe (Q2/21: USD 6.8/boe), driven by the change in consolidation method of Russian operations as of March 1, 2022.

The total hydrocarbon production volume decreased by 145 kboe/d to 345 kboe/d. The main reasons for this decline were the change in the consolidation method of Russian operations as of March 1, 2022, and the force majeure that was declared in Libya following politically motivated closures. Other decreases were caused by planned maintenance works in Malaysia and New Zealand, an unplanned outage in Norway, and natural decline in Romania. Production increased in the United Arab Emirates afte r a revision of OPEC restrictions. Total hydrocarbon sales volumes decreased to 314 kboe/d (Q2/21: 459 kboe/d). In addition to the factors affecting the production development, sales volumes suffered mainly from fewer liftings in Libya.

The development of the oil price was highly volatile during the second quarter, with concerns over demand, most notably in China, standing against Russian supply risks. The price during the quarter ranged from just under USD 100/bbl after a release of strategic reserves early April to over USD 120/bbl at the end of May and early June, when China eased its COVID-19 restrictions and the EU agreed on a ban on seaborne Russian oil imports. Other conflicting factors such as Libyan supply reductions and a strengthening US dollar further added to the price volatility. Over the entire quarter, the average Brent price rose by more than 11%, averaging at USD 113.9/bbl. In a yearly comparison, the Group's average realized crude oil price increased by 78%, partly driven by a change in the transfer price calculation for Romanian crude oil production. On the natural gas side, prices eased during the first two months of the second quarter as a consequence of mild weather and ample LNG availability for Europe. The latter was made possible as Chinese COVID-19 lockdowns and warm weather in Northeast Asia lowered local demand. These developments offset the effects stemming from lower Russian deliveries that started with a supply cut for Poland and Bulgaria. June saw prices rallying again, mainly driven by further reductions of Russian natural gas supplies to Europe. Consequently, the second quarter ended higher than it started for many of the European hub gas price benchmarks. With Russian volumes being excluded from Group production due to the change in the consolidation method and the natural gas price hedging program having ended, OMV's average realized natural gas price in EUR/MWh increased significantly compared to the same quarter of the previous year.

Capital expenditure including capitalized E&A rose from EUR 300 mn to EUR 341 mn in Q2/22, due to a higher level of activity compared to the same quarter last year. In Q2/22, organic capital expenditure was primarily directed at projects in Romania, New Zealand, and Norway. Exploration expenditure increased by 20% to EUR 57 mn in Q2/22 and was mainly related to activities in Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, and Romania.

January to June 2022 (6m/22) compared to January to June 2021 (6m/21)

The clean Operating Result rose sharply from EUR 903 mn to EUR 3,385 mn in 6m/22. Exceptionally strong market effects of EUR 2,947 mn as a consequence of substantially better oil and gas prices met negative operational effects of EUR 470 mn. These are a consequence of lower production, caused predominantly by the change in the consolidation method of Russian operations as of March 1, 2022. Natural decline in Romania, planned maintenance in Malaysia, and force majeure in Libya following politically motivated closures were the most significant additional adverse factors. Production increased in the United Arab Emirates after a revision of OPEC restrictions. Sales volumes followed the production development. Gas Marketing Western Europe contributed negatively to the result, mainly due to supply curtailments, impairments of receivables and valuation adjustments.

Net special items amounted to EUR (267) mn in 6m/22 (6m/21: EUR (114) mn), which were mainly related to impairment losses connected to the change in the consolidation method for Russian operations. These were partially offset by valuation effects of commodity derivatives in Gas Marketing Western Europe and temporary hedging effects. The Operating Result reached EUR 3,118 mn (6m/21: EUR 789 mn).

Production cost excluding royalties increased to USD 7.8/boe in 6m/22 (6m/21: USD 6.8/boe), mainly driven by the change in consolidation method of Russian operations as of March 1, 2022.

The total hydrocarbon production volume decreased by 92 kboe/d to 400 kboe/d, caused above all by the change in the consolidation method of Russian operations as of March 1, 2022. Natural decline in Romania, planned maintenance in Malaysia, and force majeure in Libya following politically motivated closures were the most significant additional adverse factors. Production increased in the United Arab Emirates after a revision of OPEC restrictions.

Total hydrocarbon sales volumes dropped to 382 kboe/d (6m/21: 458 kboe/d), largely following the production development.

In 6m/22, the average Brent price reached USD 107.9/bbl, representing substantial growth of 66%. The Group's average realized crude price improved by 69%, supported by a change in the transfer price calculation for Romanian crude oil production. The average realized gas price in EUR/MWh increased considerably to EUR 45.10/MWh.

Capital expenditure including capitalized E&A increased to EUR 638 mn in 6m/22 (6m/21: EUR 576 mn), rebounding from the previous austerity-induced level. Organic capital expenditure was primarily directed at projects in Romania, New Zealand, and Norway. Exploration expenditure was EUR 74 mn in 6m/22, and could thus be reduced by 20% compared to 6m/21. It was mainly related to activities in Malaysia, Romania, and Norway.

Selected notes to the consolidated interim financial statements

Legal principles

The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements."

They 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, 2021.

The consolidated interim financial statements for Q2/22 are unaudited and an external review by an auditor was not performed.

They 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 them as of June 30, 2022, 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, 2021, remain largely unchanged. The amendments effective since January 1, 2022, did not have a material effect on the consolidated interim financial statements.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine crisis

The attack of Russia on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, led to developments which had a significant impact on the consolidated interim financial statements.

OMV is represented in Russia by an interest in the Yuzhno-Russkoye gas field. The gas is produced by the operator and the license holder, OJSC Severneftegazprom (SNGP), in which OMV holds a 24.99% interest. The interest in SNGP was until February 28, 2022, accounted for at equity. The gas is sold through the trading company JSC GAZPROM YRGM Development (YRGM), in which OMV holds one preferred share entitling OMV to a dividend of 99.99% of the total net profit. Up until now, YRGM was fully consolidated because all its activities are predetermined and OMV was fully exposed to the variability of returns. In response to the sanctions of the Western countries, Russia passed several countersanctions, which have an impact on the operation of foreign companies in Russia. According to these announcements, among others, OMV lost power to receive dividends from YRGM, which led to the loss of control over YRGM and the loss of significant influence over SNGP.

For this reason, OMV has ceased to fully consolidate YRGM and to equity account for SNGP in the consolidated financial statements. Starting March 1, 2022, the investments in SNGP and YRGM are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss according to IFRS 9. This change led to a loss of EUR 658 mn recognized in the income statement; of that amount, EUR 399 mn was related to the recycling of the cumulative currency differences originally recognized in other comprehensive income. The total amount was included in other operating expenses. The fair value of both investments was EUR 381 mn as of June 30, 2022, and has been determined using a DCF model considering the production profile, expected gas prices and production costs, as well as an illiquidity discount. The deconsolidation had a negative impact on the cash flow from investing activities in the amount of EUR 208 mn due to the derecognized cash balance of YRGM, shown in the line "Cash disposed due to the loss of control".

When remeasuring the contractual position towards Gazprom from the redetermination of the reserves of the Yuzhno Russkoye gas field, a fair value loss of EUR 364 mn was recognized in other operating expenses in the first quarter of 2022. Also taking into consideration the unwinding of the receivable, the carrying amount of the asset was EUR 75 mn as of June 30, 2022.

The total payments by OMV as financial investor under the financing agreements for Nord Stream 2 amounted to EUR 729 mn. The total outstanding amount including accrued interest as of March 5, 2022, amounted to EUR 1 bn, and was fully impaired, negatively impacting the financial result.

OMV purchased on average 6.67 TWh per month of natural gas under long-term supply agreements with Gazprom in Germany and Austria in the second quarter 2022, with curtailments of gas delivery volumes experienced since the middle of June which required unwinding of hedges and resulted in a negative financial impact for OMV. From today's point of view, OMV does not expect natural gas exports from Russia to stop entirely, however, the uncertainty regarding future curtailments remains and could result in further losses in case the hedged volume deviates from the actual deliveries. In the event of further or even full gas supply disruptions from Russia, OMV can use gas in storage to supply customers and has access to other liquid gas market hubs in Europe until the regulator implements energy steering measures. OMV continues to closely monitor developments.

Changes in segment reporting

As of January 1, 2022, Gas Marketing Western Europe, which includes Supply, Marketing, Trading, and Logistics, was transferred from Refining & Marketing to Exploration & Production in order to extract synergies from the entire end-to-end gas value chain. The internal reporting and the relevant information provided to the chief operating decision maker in order to assess performance and allocate resources have been updated to reflect the current organizational structure.

Refining & Marketing (R&M) refines and markets crude and other feedstock. It operates the refineries Schwechat, Burghausen, and Petrobrazi. In these refineries, crude oil is processed into petroleum products, which are sold to commercial and private customers. The business segment's activities also cover supply and marketing of gas in Eastern Europe and the Group's power business activities, with one gas-fired power plant.

Exploration & Production (E&P) engages in the business of oil and gas exploration, development, and production, and it focuses on the core regions Central and Eastern Europe, North Sea, Middle East and Africa, and Asia-Pacific. In addition, E&P is engaged in gas supply, marketing, trading and logistics in Western Europe.

Segment reporting information of earlier periods has been adjusted accordingly to comply with IFRS 8.29. Below tables depict the segment reporting information as reported in 2021 and restated after the reorganization:
