Independent auditor´s report on the consolidated financial statements
To the shareholders of Repsol, S.A.:
Report on the consolidated financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Repsol, S.A. (the Parent company) and investees comprising the Repsol Group (the Group), which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2019, and the income statement, statement of other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and related notes, all consolidated, for the year then ended.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the equity and financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2019, as well as its financial performance and cash flows, all consolidated, for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU) and other provisions of the financial reporting framework applicable in Spain.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements, including those relating to independence, that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Spain, in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice. In this regard, we have not rendered services other than those relating to the audit of the accounts, and situations or circumstances have not arisen that, in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned legislation, have affected our necessary independence such that it has been compromised.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Assessment of the recovery of the carrying amount of the Group's non-current assets in Upstream
The accompanying consolidated financial statements present intangible assets (including goodwill) and property, plant and equipment in the Upstream segment amounting to €3,038 million and €11,447 million, respectively, 31 December 2019. These assets are allocated to cash generating units (CGUs) as indicated in notes 12 and 13 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Similarly, as indicated in note 14 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Group has several investments in the Upstream segment carried under the equity method with a carrying amount at yearend 2019 of €6,780 million.
The Group performs an analysis of impairment of the assets indicated by CGU on an annual basis, in accordance with the criteria described in note 3.5. and determines their recoverable amount based on the present value of the future cash flows generated by them, taking into account the business plans approved by management.
As indicated in notes 2.4 and 21, the Board of Directors of the parent company approved a new strategic approach in late 2019, which will form the basis for the Group's forthcoming strategic plan (2020-2025), in which the Group commits to achieving net zero carbon dioxide emissions in 2050 and a gradual reduction in its carbon intensity indicator in keeping with the Paris Agreement and UN Sustainable Development goals. This, coupled with the new dynamics on the hydrocarbon markets, particularly the North American natural gas market, has meant that future price expectations of crude oil and natural gas, taken into account in the annual impairment testing, have been revised downwards.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
We started our analysis by gaining an understanding on both the methodology applied and the relevant controls that the Group has in place to analyse asset recovery.
In addition, we considered the adequacy of the allocation of assets to CGUs and the process for identifying those requiring an assessment of impairment, in accordance with applicable legislation.
Moreover, we gained an understanding of the environment (price performance, presentation of results of other companies in the industry, analyst reports, etc.) in order to assess the Group's vision for consistency with the real situation in the global hydrocarbon marketplace.
With the collaboration of our valuation experts, we assessed the adequacy of the valuation models employed, the assumptions and estimates used in the calculations, including both short and long-term estimates of the evolution of hydrocarbon prices, the estimation of hydrocarbon reserves by internal and external experts, production profiles, operational costs, the necessary investments to develop existing reserves and discount rates.
Specifically, with respect to future hydrocarbon prices, we compared management's estimates with the information published by investment banks, consultancy firms and relevant industry organisations and agencies.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
The key assumptions employed in estimating these cash flows for the purposes of analysing impairment are detailed in notes 3.5 and 21 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In addition, management has carried out a sensitivity analysis (note 21.2) on the key assumptions which, in light of earlier experience, may reasonably show variations.
As a result of these analyses, Group management has recognised measurement adjustments, net of reversals, in the Upstream segment for the amounts indicated in note 21.1.
This matter is key because it entails management applying critical judgements and significant estimates in terms of the key assumptions used, which are subject to uncertainty, while significant future changes in key assumptions could have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Concerning the estimation of hydrocarbon reserves, we gained an understanding of the process established by the Group in this respect, which includes the use of management experts, and assessed the results of the work and competence, capacity and objectivity of these experts, in order to satisfy ourselves that they were properly qualified to calculate an estimate of volumes. In addition, we verified the consistency of the volumes estimated by management experts with the data used in determining the recoverable value of the assets.
Similarly, we checked the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and models prepared by management and verified the recoverable amount calculated by the Group with the carrying amount of the assets in order to assess the existence or otherwise of impairment or reversal of impairment, as appropriate.
We assessed the sensitivity calculations carried out by management and the estimates of the magnitude of the change in the key assumptions required to trigger asset impairment, or the reversal of the impairment allowance.
We also assessed the sufficiency of the information disclosed in the consolidated financial statements with respect to the assessment of the recoverable amount of these assets.
Based on the procedures carried out, we consider that management's approach and conclusions and the information disclosed in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are reasonable and consistent with the evidence obtained.

Assessment of the recovery of the carrying amount of deferred tax assets
As shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, at 31 December 2019 the deferred tax asset balance amounts to €4,050 million, with, available tax loss carryforwards and deductions amounting to €3,193 million, according to note 23.3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
When assessing whether the amount recognised in the consolidated financial statements for these assets is recoverable, Group management factors in, as mentioned in notes 3.5 and 23.3, future tax profits forecast using the methodology defined to analyse the recovery of its assets, the evaluation of the estimates of results of each entity or tax group in accordance with the Group's strategic plan, applicable tax legislation and the limit regarding the recoverability of such assets.
As a result of the above analyses, Group management has reduced the amount of deferred tax assets recognised on the balance sheet by the amount indicated in notes 21.1 and 23.3.
This is a key matter due to the nature and significance of the assets recognised and because it entails the use of significant estimates in terms of future tax profits, affecting the assessment of the recovery of these assets.
Assessment of the recovery of the Group's assets in Venezuela
As indicated in note 21.3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Group's asset exposure in Venezuela at 31 December 2019 amounts to €239 million. This amount mainly includes the financing in dollars granted by the Group to the joint ventures Cardon IV, S.A. and Petroquiriquire, S.A.(note 9.1) amounting to €426 million and the trade receivables with Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) amounting to €347 million that are presented as Other non-current assets (Note 16), less provisions for liabilities and charges amounting to €495 million (note 14).
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
We started our analysis by gaining an understanding on both the methodology applied and the relevant controls that the Group has in place to analyse the recovery of these assets.
We also verified the consistency of the assumptions employed by management in the financial projections used to determine future tax profits with the assumptions used in testing the Group's intangible assets and property, plant and equipment for impairment.
Moreover, together with our tax experts, we assessed the estimate of corporate income tax, basically in relation to the appropriateness of the tax treatment of the operations performed and the calculations of deferred tax assets with respect to applicable tax legislation.
We also assessed the sufficiency of the information disclosed in the consolidated financial statements concerning the measurement and recognition of these assets.
Based on the work carried out, we consider that the assumptions and estimates employed by Group management with respect to the recovery of the assets analysed are reasonable and consistent with the evidence obtained.
Our analysis started with understanding the processes that the Group has in place to perform the analysis of the assets' value, including the relevant controls implemented.
With the collaboration of our team in Venezuela, we gained an understanding of the country's political, social and economic situation.

As detailed in note 21.3, the country's general situation is affected by an economic recession, a regulated exchange system, high levels of inflation and the constant devaluation of local currency, an oil sector characterised by major public sector intervention and involvement, with sharply declining output in the past few years, political instability, the state of economic emergency and international disciplinary measures, among others.
Except in the case of Quiriquire Gas, S.A., whose carrying amount is zero, the functional currency of investments in Venezuela is the US dollar, as indicated in note 21.3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Within the context described, the Group analysed the recovery of its investments in Venezuela and the credit risk associated with its accounts receivable with PDVSA and recognised impairment of €180 million in the consolidated income statement, as detailed in note 21.3.
In order to determine the expected loss on the loans to the joint ventures and the accounts receivable with PDVSA, the Group hired an independent expert to validate management's judgements.
This matter requires a high level of judgement and estimation that management should make in order to assess the recovery of its assets in Venezuela and so has been considered a key audit matter.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
With respect to the investment in Cardón IV, S.A., we assessed the competence and objectivity of the auditor of this component and obtained and assessed the communications issued by him, including his overall findings, conclusions and opinion.
Additionally, we applied certain audit procedures on the financial statements of Cardón IV, S.A. and Petroquiriquire, S.A. that have been included in the Group's consolidated financial statements using the equity method.
With respect to the analysis of impairment losses on non-current assets of the above companies, we carried out audit procedures like those described previously in the key audit matter section "Assessment of the recovery of the carrying amount of the Group's non-current assets in Upstream"
In addition, we analysed the reasonableness of the provision for contingencies and charges recorded.
In order to analyse the credit risk on the loans granted to the joint ventures and the accounts receivable with PDVSA, we carried out the following audit procedures, among others:
- Obtaining and assessment of the loan contracts with Cardon IV, S.A. and Petroquiriquire, S.A.and other relevant contractual information.
- Together with our experts in financial instruments, we analysed the reasonableness of the expected loss model prepared by management.
- We analysed the information included in the report of the independent expert, engaged by the Group to assess management's judgements on Venezuela's credit risk and assessed the competence of this expert and his objectivity to satisfy ourselves that he was properly qualified to perform that engagement.

| Based on the work carried out, we consider that the assumptions and estimates employed by Group management with respect to the recovery of the assets analysed are reasonable and consistent with the evidence obtained |
Analysis of the effects of the partial arbitration award in relation to the acquisition of Talisman Energy UK Limited (TSEUK), currently Repsol Sinopec Resources UK Limited (RSRUK)
As mentioned in note 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, Addax Petroleum UK Limited (Addax) and Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corporation (Sinopec) filed a "Notice of arbitration" against Talisman Energy Inc. (currently "Repsol Oil & Gas Canada Inc. – ROGCI) and Talisman Colombia Holdco Limited (TCHL) in relation to the acquisition of 49% of the shares of TSEUK in 2012 by Addax and Sinopec. This transaction took place before the acquisition of the Talisman group by Repsol in 2015.
On 29 January 2020 the Arbitration Court of Singapore issued a partial arbitration award, deciding that ROGCI and TCHL are liable vis-ávis Sinopec and Addax for certain information and representations provided during the aforementioned acquisition process. The partial award issued addresses one of the five issued to be settled with respect to the liability phase of the established procedure. The Court has signalled that it will decide on the other issues through subsequent awards although it is currently unknown when these will be issued. Once a decision has been taken on all issues, a new procedural phase will be necessary in order to determine the amounts involved, no timeline having yet been established. Repsol Group management considers that the final award will not be issued before the first quarter of 2022, time when the amount of the indemnity to be settled will be established.
Our audit procedures relating to this matter included the following, among others:
- Meetings and discussions with Group management to understand their analysis and assessment of the risks underlying the arbitration award.
- Obtaining the assessment of the Group's external lawyers concerning the classification of the risks identified for the Repsol Group in the award received and their implications.
- With the collaboration of our legal experts, we analysed the award documentation and assessed whether the risks identified therein by internal and external lawyers agree with its content.
- Understanding and assessing the methodology applied by the Group in order to quantify the risks deriving from its analysis of the arbitration award and verifying whether the risks quantified by the Group agree with those resulting from the award received.
- Checking the estimates made with the documentation included in the arbitration award and verifying the mathematical accuracy of the calculations prepared by management.

estimates in the calculations made, which are subject to uncertainty, and because changes in the evolution of such arbitration could have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated
financial statements
Other information comprises only the consolidated management report for the 2019 financial year, the formulation of which is the responsibility of the Parent company´s directors and does not form an integral part of the consolidated financial statements.
Our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the consolidated management report. Our responsibility regarding the information contained in the consolidated management report is defined in the regulation governing financial statement audit work, which establishes two distinct levels of responsibility:
- a) A specific level applicable to the consolidated non-financial statement and some of the information included in the Annual Corporate Governance Report, as defined in article 35.2.b) of Spanish Law 22/2015, the Audit Act, which consists of solely checking that the required information has been provided in the management report or, where appropriate, it has been included a reference to the separate report on non-financial information in the prescribed manner; otherwise, reporting that it has not.
- b) A general level applicable to the remaining information included in the consolidated management report, which consists on evaluating and reporting on the consistency between the aforesaid information and the consolidated financial statements as a result of our knowledge of the Group obtained during the audit of the aforementioned financial statements, and does not include information different to that obtained as evidence during our audit. Likewise, our responsibility is to evaluate and report on whether the content and presentation of this part of the consolidated management report are in accordance with applicable regulations. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that material misstatements exist, we are required to report that fact.
On the basis of the work performed, as described above, we have verified that the information mentioned in a) above is included in the consolidated management report and that the remaining information contained in the consolidated management report is consistent with that contained in the consolidated financial statements for the 2019 financial year, and its content and presentation are in accordance with the applicable regulations.

Responsibility of the directors and the audit and control committee for the consolidated financial statements
The Parent company´s directors are responsible for the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, such that they fairly present the consolidated equity, financial position and financial performance of the Group, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and other provisions of the financial reporting framework applicable to the Group in Spain, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Parent company´s directors are responsible for assessing the Group´s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Parent company´s audit and control committee is responsible for overseeing the process of preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor´s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group´s internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Parent company´s directors.

- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Parent company´s directors´ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group´s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor´s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor´s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Parent company´s audit and control committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Parent company´s audit and control committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements, including those relating to independence, and we communicate with the audit and control committee those matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Parent company´s audit and control committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor´s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

The Repsol Group comprises subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates. The Group's main companies and the summarized corporate organization chart are presented in section 2.6 of the 2019 Management Report. For detailed information, see Appendix IA to these Financial Statements.
In 2019 changes were made to the composition of the Group, mainly due to the acquisition of new businesses related to the energy transition (most notably renewable electricity generation projects in Spain) and the international expansion of the Service Station business in Mexico and the Lubricants business in Singapore. In 2018, the sale of the 20% interest in Naturgy Energy Group, S.A. and the acquisition of Viesgo are noteworthy of mention.
For further information on changes in the Group's composition, see Note 5 and Appendix IA and IB.
2.4) Main new developments in the year5
- In the last few months of 2019, Repsol initiated a strategic change with the publication in December of its commitment to gradually reduce its carbon intensity indicator6 to become a company with net zero emissions by 2050.
- These targets will serve as a basis for the 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, which will be presented to the market and investors in the first half of 2020. The Company is therefore making progress in its commitment to lead the energy transition, in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
- In line with this new strategic approach and in the context of the new dynamics of the oil and gas markets that have been consolidated over the last year, as well as the new public policies aimed at the decarbonization of the economy and driving the energy transition, the main assumptions for assessing both future investments and existing assets have been reviewed. In particular, expectations for crude oil and gas prices have been lowered, long-term estimates regarding the consumption of oil products have been reduced, and the costs of CO2 emissions have been increased. Although acceptance of these new scenarios has made it possible to optimize sustainability and the value of the businesses in this new environment, it has had an impact of €4,849 million after tax on the measurement of assets for accounting purposes in 2019, mainly in the Upstream segment, on gas-producing assets in the US and Canada (see Note 21).
- With regard to the management of the asset portfolio, the Upstream segment notably includes the acquisition of the 63% interest in the asset of unconventional production of crude oil, gas and associated liquids at Eagle Ford (Texas, United States) from Equinor for \$352 million (see Note 5) in which Repsol now controls 100% and is the operator of the asset.
- In Downstream, after completing the acquisition of Viesgo, investments in renewable electricity generation assets in Spain totaled €119 million, highlighting in 2019 two wind projects (€87 million) of 335 MW in Aragon and 225 MW in Palencia, and two other solar projects of 204 MW in Cadiz and 127 MW in Ciudad Real.
Accordingly, the refinery maintenance plan was completed to minimize the production of fuel oil and maximize the production of products with lower carbon intensity and higher value, as well as to adapt to the new international specifications for low sulfur marine fuel.
In the commercial business, the Company has strengthened its position as a customer-centered multi-energy supplier, with a differentiated service and a clear commitment to digitalization. Repsol Electricity and Gas exceeds 1 million customers

and the Waylet payment application has exceeded 1.4 million users, who can now pay in the more than 3,500 service stations of the Repsol network and more than 4,600 related retailers.
– Shareholder remuneration. Through the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" program, Repsol offered shareholders a return in 2019 equal to €0.916/share, under the scrip dividend formula. In addition, a capital reduction was carried out through the redemption of treasury shares, aimed at offsetting the dilutive effect of the bonus share issue formalized in 2019 within the framework of the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" program.
In addition, the Board of Directors has agreed to submit a proposal for approval at the next Annual General Meeting to reduce share capital by an amount equal to 5% of share capital at December 31, 2018, independently of any proposal that may be submitted at the Annual General Meeting in the context of the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" program (see Note 7).
(3) ABOUT THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.1) General principles
The consolidated Financial Statements were prepared based on the accounting records of Repsol, S.A. and its investees. They are presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), adopted by the European Union (EU) as of December 31, 2019, and other provisions of the applicable regulatory framework.
Repsol prepares its consolidated financial statements including the investments in all its subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates, whose accounting standards have been unified with those of the parent in order to present consolidated financial statements by applying uniform accounting policies.
The consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions of euros, which is the functional currency of the parent company and presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements.
3.2) Comparative information
The most notable new developments in the accounting standards applied by the Group as of January 1, 20197 due to their impact on these financial statements, include IFRS 16 Leases and IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments, as described below.
3.2.1) Application of new accounting standards
IFRS 16 Leases8
Application
IFRS 16 Leases introduces changes for the lessee who, at the inception date of a lease, is required to recognize in the balance sheet a liability for lease payments and an asset for the right to use the "underlying asset" over the lease term. In addition, an expense for the financial restatement of the lease liability must recognized separately from the expense for the amortization of the right-of-use asset.
IFRS 16 has been applied for the first time in the 2019 financial statements.
The first-time application was carried out through a simplified retrospective approach on January 1, 2019, without restating the comparative information in relation to 2018. The impacts of its first-time application have been recognized directly in equity.
The Group has decided to make use of the options envisaged in the standard for lessees, which permits lease liabilities and right-of-use assets corresponding to lease agreements for assets of little value (amount in euros equivalent to USD 5,000) and short-term leases (leases for a period equal to or less than one year) not to be recognized in the balance sheet.
In agreements that contain lease and other components, mainly services, the Repsol Group has separated such components, recognizing solely the lease component pursuant to IFRS 16 and the other component as a performance contract, with the expense recognized on an accrual basis under the terms of the agreement.
A specific review of the inventory of lease agreements classified as operating leases according to the previous standard was carried out, as well as certain service contracts that could be classified as leases according to the new standard. No significant difference has arisen as a result of this analysis.
The Group has calculated the lease liability as the present value of the outstanding payments of the lease agreements in force at the date of first-time application and retrospectively calculated the value of the right-of-use asset, only for those agreements with the greatest quantitative significance, having considered the value of the lease liability as the initial value of the corresponding right-of-use asset for the remaining agreements.
7 In addition, the following standards have been applied as of January 1, 2019 without significant impacts for the Group: i) Amendments to IFRS 9 Prepayment features with negative compensation; ii) Amendments to IAS 28 Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures; iii) Amendments to IAS 19 Employee benefits: plan amendment, curtailment or settlement; and vi) Annual improvements to IFRSs, 2015-2017 Cycle.
8 Replaces IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 14 Determination of whether an arrangement contains a lease, SIC 15 Operating leases - Incentives, and SIC 27 Evaluation of the substance of the transactions with the legal form of a lease.
The lease term of the agreements was determined as the non-cancellable period of a lease taking into consideration the option to extend or terminate the lease when there is reasonably high probability that this option will be exercised.
With regard to the discount rate used for these calculations, the Group generally used the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee at January 1, 2019, which was determined taking into consideration, among other factors, the term of the agreement, the economic climate of the country and the currency in which it was denominated and, when relevant, the characteristics of the underlying asset. The weighted average discount rate applied to operating lease liabilities recognized at the date on which IFRS 16 was initially applied was 3%.
Lastly, in relation to the recognition of leases in joint operations, which is very common in hydrocarbon exploration and production activities, the Group performed a specific analysis of all its contractual obligations and recognized all those arrangements for which it has a contractual obligation with the lessor in the balance sheet, i.e. all those arrangements that: (i) it has signed in full as operating partner on its own behalf; (ii) it has jointly signed with the other partners in a joint arrangement, in line with its percentage of ownership in the arrangement; or (iii) have been signed by the operating partner on behalf of the consortium (jointly and severally) or the other partners of the joint arrangement, in line with the terms and percentage of ownership of each partner in the arrangement. With regard to the arrangements signed on its behalf by a third party in the position of operating partner in a joint arrangement, the Group will recognize, as its percentage of ownership in the arrangement, those contracts for which it is determined that a sub-lease exists, considering in this assessment, both the repayment obligation to the operating partner of the costs of the head lease arrangement, and the control by the Group of the right to use the asset identified.
Financial impact of first-time application
The first-time application of IFRS 16 has represented an estimated impact of -€83 million after taxes recognized in "Retained earnings and other reserves":
| 12/31/2018 | Adjustment IFRS 16 | 01/01/2019 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assets for rights of use of the assets (Note 13) | 754 | 1,153 | 1,907 |
| Investments accounted for using the equity method | 7,194 | (50) | 7,144 |
| Accounts receivable | — | 30 | 30 |
| Current and non-current financial liabilities (1) | (1,624) | (1,351) | (2,975) |
| Non-current provisions and other (2) | (4,738) | 122 | (4,616) |
| Effect on net assets and liabilities | (96) | ||
| Deferred tax assets and liabilities | 13 | ||
| Effect on equity | (83) |
(1) Includes the finance lease liabilities in accordance with the previous accounting standard, recognized in 2018 under "Other non-current liabilities" and "Trade and other payables" in the balance sheet. In 2019, the Group, as a result of the application of IFRS 16, decided to present its lease payables under "Current financial liabilities" and "Non-current financial liabilities" in the balance sheet.
(2) The onerous charge associated with certain operating lease agreements was canceled against the corresponding asset.
The reconciliation between the operating lease commitments at December 31 and the liabilities recognized on January 1, 2019 in accordance with IFRS 16 is as follows:
| € Million | ||
|---|---|---|
| Operating lease commitments as at December 31, 2018 | 1,599 | |
| Financial discount on future payments | (225) | |
| Short-term and low-value leases | (23) | |
| Operating lease liability recognized as at January 1, 2019 | 1,351 |
Other impacts of IFRS 16
The new accounting treatment of leases did not have a significant impact on the Group's net income in 2019. However, other financial aggregates have been affected and, for example, operating income has increased (lower operating expenses) and the financial result has decreased (higher financial expenses). The cash generated has remained unaltered by the application of IFRS 16, but its classification has changed since cash flow from operating activities has increased and cash flow from financing activities has decreased, to the same extent.
In relation to the Alternative Performance Measures used by the Group, the application of IFRS 16 has had several effects: i) EBITDA ("Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization") has increased as it now includes the expense corresponding to the leases as amortization and financial expenses; ii) cash flows from operations have also increased, since from now the cash outflows for leases are included in cash flows from financing activities; iii) as of January 1, 2019, the calculation of net debt, capital employed and the ROACE ("Return on average capital employed") now includes lease liabilities (those recognized in accordance with the previous accounting standard and the new lease liabilities recognized due to the application of IFRS 16); and, to make it easier to monitor the current Strategic Plan and the historic performance of return and debt, the Group also presents these magnitudes excluding the effect of the lease liabilities (criteria followed by the Group up until December 31, 2018).
With regard to testing the assets for impairment, the recognition of right-of-use assets made it necessary to assign their carrying amount to different cash-generating units and to exclude the corresponding fixed lease payments from the calculations of value in use, in order to ensure consistency in assessing the recoverability of the assets and calculating their recoverable amount.
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over income tax
IFRIC 239 clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 Income taxes in those circumstances where there is uncertainty.
The application of this interpretation has led the Group to reevaluate certain tax liabilities for an additional amount of €79 million. This change is a result of having determined that various uncertain tax treatments, in accordance with the information available and the expectation of resolution of the situation: (i) must be considered jointly instead of individually, and (ii) it is more appropriate to measure the amount of the liability to be recognized in accordance with the expected value instead of the most likely value. This impact was recognized retrospectively, and cumulative as of January 1, 2019, under "Equity - Retained earnings and other reserves" in the balance sheet (see Note 7).
In relation to their presentation, the uncertain tax treatments that result in the recognition of income tax liabilities in accordance with the criteria of IFRIC 23 are recognized under "Deferred tax liabilities and other" (previously recognized under "Non-current provisions" and "Current provisions") in the balance sheet (see Note 23). The balances relating to 2018 were changed for comparison purposes.
3.2.2) Restatement of earnings per share
In accordance with accounting standards, earnings per share at December 31, 2018, have been restated with respect to the information published in the consolidated financial statements for 2018, as the average number of outstanding shares considered in the calculation should take account of the new number of shares issued after the capital increase carried out as part of the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" shareholder remuneration program described in Note 7.
3.3) New standards issued for mandatory application in future years
The standards and amendments to standards issued by the IASB that will be mandatory in future reporting periods are listed below:
| Standards and amendments to standards | Date of first application |

3.4) Accounting policies
3.4.1) General accounting policies
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with EU-IFRSs at December 31, 2019 and other provisions of the applicable regulatory framework. This section includes clarifications or specificities that improve their understanding.
Repsol prepares its consolidated financial statements including the investments in all its subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates10 .
The items included in these consolidated Financial Statements relating to the Group companies are measured using their functional currency, which is the currency of the main economic environment in which they operate; when this differs from the presentation currency, the conversion is carried out as stated below: i) the assets and liabilities in each of the balance sheets presented are translated applying the closing exchange rate on the balance sheet date, ii) income and expense items are translated applying the average cumulative exchange rate for the financial year in which the transactions were performed (however, the transaction-date exchange rate is used to translate significant transactions), and iii) any exchange differences arising as a result of the foregoing are recognized under "Equity - Translation differences".
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of a Group company are deemed to be 'foreign currency transactions' and are translated to the functional currency by applying the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. At each year end, the foreign currency monetary items on the balance sheet are measured applying the exchange rate prevailing at that date and the exchange rate differences arising from such measurement are recognized under "Financial result - Exchange gains/(losses)".
The exchange rates against the euro of the main currencies used by the Group companies at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
| December 31, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Closing rate | Accumulated average rate | Closing rate | Accumulated average rate | |
| US dollar | 1.12 | 1.12 | 1.15 | 1.18 |
3.4.2) Specific accounting policies
In order to facilitate the reading and understanding of the disclosures in the notes to these financial statements, those accounting policies that are considered relevant or represent an accounting option for the Group are described: principles of consolidation (Note 3), calculation of the recoverable amount of the assets (Note 3), business combinations (Note 5), accounting hedges (Note 10), oil product exchange and revenue recognition (Note 20) and CO2 emission rights (Note 31).
Accounting policies relating to hydrocarbon exploration and production activities
Repsol recognizes hydrocarbon exploration and production operations using accounting policies mostly based on the "successful efforts" method. Under this method, the various costs incurred are treated as follows for accounting purposes:
The costs of acquiring exploration permits and the geological and geophysical (G&G) costs incurred during the exploration phase are capitalized under "Exploration permits" in intangible assets. They are not amortized during the exploration and evaluation phase and they are tested for impairment at least once a year and, in any case, when there is an indication that they may have become impaired, in accordance with the indicators of IFRS 6 Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources. Once the exploration and evaluation phase is over, if no reserves are found, the amounts capitalized are recognized as an expense in the income statement.
10 Classified based on the control exercised over them:
i) subsidiaries: those over which Repsol exercises direct or indirect control and are fully consolidated;
ii) joint ventures: those in which strategic operational and financial decisions require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control (joint control) and are classified as i) joint operations arranged through a Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) or similar vehicle and whose interests are held by the Group through its ownership interest in subsidiaries that are fully consolidated, or ii) joint ventures (JVs) that are accounted for using the equity method.
In the Oil & Gas industry, hydrocarbon exploration and production activities are usually carried out through collaboration or association with companies that qualify as joint agreements that are set up through JOAs that are included in the financial statements of the partners on the basis of the interest in the assets, liabilities, income and expenses arising from the agreement or as joint ventures that are included in the financial statements of the partners using the equity method; and
iii) associates: interests over which it has significant influence, which do not require consent from Repsol in making strategic operating and financial decisions but over which it has the power to participate, and that are accounted for using the equity method.
The costs of acquiring new interests, including those acquired in business combinations, in areas with proved and unproved reserves and resources (including licenses, resource-related costs, legal costs, etc.) are capitalized as incurred under "Investments in areas with reserves" in property, plant and equipment.
Exploratory drilling costs are recognized as assets under "Investments in exploration" until it is determined whether reserves justifying their commercial development have been found. If no reserves are found, the capitalized drilling costs are recognized in the income statement. In the event that reserves are found, but remain under evaluation for their classification as proved, their recognition depends on the following:
- a. If additional investments are required prior to the start of production, they continue to be capitalized as long as the following conditions are met: (i) the amount of reserves found justifies the completion of a productive well if the required investment is made, and; (ii) satisfactory progress has been made in the evaluation of reserves and the operational viability of the project. If any of these conditions fails to be met, they treated as impaired, and are expensed in the income statement.
- b. In all other cases, if there is no commitment to carry out significant activities to evaluate reserves or develop the project within a reasonable period after well drilling has been completed, or if activities have been halted, they are recognized as an expense in the income statement.
- c. The costs incurred in exploratory drilling work that have yielded a commercially exploitable reserve are reclassified to "Investments in areas with reserves" under property, plant and equipment at their carrying amount.
Exploration costs other than G&G costs ("Exploration rights and geological and geophysical costs"), excluding the costs of drilling exploration wells and exploration licenses, are recognized as an expense in the income statement when incurred.
Development expenditure incurred in lifting proved reserves and in processing and storing oil and gas are recognized as assets under "Investments in areas with reserves" in property, plant and equipment.
Future field abandonment and dismantling costs are estimated on a field-by-field basis, and are capitalized at their present value when they are initially recognized under "Investments in areas with reserves" against the line item for dismantling provisions (see Note 15).
The investments capitalized as described above are depreciated according to the unit of production method and in accordance with the following criteria:
- a. Investments in the acquisition of proved and probable reserves and common facilities are depreciated over the estimated commercial life of the field on the basis of the production for the financial year as a proportion of those reserves.
- b. The costs incurred in surveys for the development and extraction of hydrocarbon reserves are depreciated over the estimated commercial life of the oil field on the basis of the relationship between the production of the period and the total of the most probable proved reserves of the field.
- c. Investments made in fields that are in the exploration or development phase are not depreciated. These investments are tested for impairment at least once a year and whenever indications of impairment are detected.
The changes in estimated reserves are considered on a prospective basis in calculating depreciation.
Accounting policies relating to Downstream and Corporate:
Non-current assets are recognized at acquisition cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives once they are in optimum conditions for use. The estimated useful lives of the main assets of Downstream and Corporate are detailed below:
| Estimated useful life | Years | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Buildings and other constructions | 20-50 | ||
| Machinery and plant: | |||
| Machinery, plant and tools | 8-25 | ||
| Specialized complex installations (Refining and Chemical industrial complexes): | |||
| - Units |
8-25 | ||
| - Storage tanks |
20-40 | ||
| - Cabling and networks |
12-25 | ||
| Specialized complex installations (electricity and gas): | |||
| - Electricity generation plants |
18-40 | ||
| - Gas and electricity infrastructure and distribution |
12-40 | ||
| Transport elements | 5-20 | ||
| Other property, plant and equipment: | |||
| - Furniture and fixtures |
9-15 |
In relation to the connection rights of service stations, their ownership is conditional on the life of the contracts that give rise to them, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of each contract (between 25 and 30 years).
3.5) Accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles makes it necessary to make assumptions and estimates that affect the valuation of the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognized, the presentation of contingent assets and liabilities at year end and the income and expenses recognized during the year. The actual results could differ significantly depending on the estimates made.
The accounting policies and areas that require the highest degree of judgement and estimates in the preparation of these financial statements are: (i) crude oil and natural gas reserves; (ii) calculation of the recoverable amount of assets (see Notes 12,13,14 and 21); (iii) business combinations (see Note 5), (iv) provisions for litigation, dismantling and other contingencies (see Note 15); (v) income tax, tax credits and deferred tax assets (see Note 23); (vi) market value of derivative financial instruments (see Note 10); (vii) calculation of expected loss on financial instruments; and (viii) assessment of investments in Venezuela (see Notes 14 and 21).
Crude oil and gas reserves
The estimate of oil and gas reserves11 and resources is a key component of the Company's decision-making process. Oil and gas reserve volumes are used to calculate depreciation and amortization charges, applying the unit-of-production ratio method, and to test these Upstream assets for impairment (see "Recoverable amount of assets" in this Note). Changes in volumes of reserves and resources could have a significant impact on the Group's results.
To estimate oil and gas reserves and resources, Repsol uses the criteria established by the "SPE/WPC/AAPG/SPEE/ SEG/SPWLA/ EAGE Petroleum Resources Management System", commonly referred to by its acronym SPE-PRMS (SPE standing for Society of Petroleum Engineers).
Recoverable amount of assets
Impairment test
In order to ascertain whether its assets have become impaired, the Group compares their carrying amount with their recoverable amount at least annually and whenever there are indications that an asset might have become impaired ("impairment test").
11 The classification of reserves can be consulted below:
Proved reserves: Proved reserves (scenario 1P) are those quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids that, with the information available to date, are estimated to be recoverable with reasonable certainty. There should be at least a 90% probability that the amounts recovered will equal or exceed the 1P estimate.
Probable reserves: Probable reserves are those additional reserves, which together with proved reserves make up scenario 2P. There should be at least a 50% probability that the amounts recovered will equal or exceed the 2P estimate. This scenario reflects the best estimate of the reserves. Developed reserves: Proved or probable quantities expected to be recovered from existing wells and facilities.
Contingent resources: Those quantities of oil that are estimated, at a given date, to be potentially recoverable from accumulations known from the application of development projects, but which are not currently considered commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies.
Repsol applies "SPE/WPC/AAPG/SPEE/SEG/SPWLA/EAGE Petroleum Resources Management System", where these definitions can be consulted. Independent engineering firms periodically audit registered volumes (at least 95% of the reserves are audited externally in a three-year cycle).
For information on the Group's reserves, see "Information on hydrocarbon exploration and production activities" available at www.repsol.com.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its net book value, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognized in the income statement.
After an impairment loss has been recognized, amortization charges are calculated prospectively on the basis of the reduced carrying amount of the impaired asset.
When there are new events, or changes in existing circumstances, which prove that an impairment loss recognized on a prior date could have disappeared or decreased, there is a new estimate of the recoverable amount of the corresponding asset, to determine whether the impairment losses recognized in previous periods should be reversed. An impairment loss of goodwill cannot be reversed in subsequent years.
If a previously recognized impairment loss is reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that this new value does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
Cash-generating units
For the "impairment test", assets are grouped into cash-generating units (CGUs) if, when individually considered, they do not generate cash inflows that are independent of the cash inflows from other assets of the CGU. The grouping of assets into the various CGUs implies the use of professional judgements and the determination, among other criteria, of the business units and geographical areas in which the Group operates. Against this backdrop, in the Upstream segment, each CGU corresponds to one of the various contractual exploration areas widely known as 'blocks'; exceptionally, if the cash flows generated by more than one block are mutually interdependent, these blocks will be grouped into a single CGU. In the Downstream segment, the CGUs correspond to the business activities (mainly Refining, Chemicals, Commercial businesses -Mobility, LPG, Lubricants, Asphalt and Specialisms-, Wholesaler and Gas Trading, and electricity generation and sale) and geographical areas. In 2019, there were no significant changes to the composition of the UGEs.
Goodwill acquired on a business combination is allocated among the CGUs or groups of cash-generating units (CGUs) that benefit from the synergies of the business combination, up to the limit of the business segment.
Calculating the recoverable amount
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of sale and value in use.
The methodology used by the Group to estimate the recoverable amount of assets is, in general, the value in use calculated by discounting to present value the future cash flows after tax expected to derive from the operation of these assets.
The cash flow projections are based on the best available estimates of the income, expenses and investments of the CGUs using sector forecasts, prior results and the outlook for the performance of the business and development of the market:
- Macroeconomic variables are those used in the preparation of budgets and strategic plans that define a macroeconomic framework for the countries in which the Group operates and that consider variables such as inflation, GDP, exchange rate, etc. The aforementioned macroeconomic forecasts are prepared on the basis of the content of internal reports that use inhouse estimates, based on updated external information of relevance (forecasts prepared by consultants and specialized entities).
- The oil and natural gas price trend estimates used for the impairment test are prepared on the basis of available macroeconomic, financial and market information and the forecasts provided by analysts. Key market variables and their foreseeable evolution are analyzed for this calculation, including their own forecasts of the balance of supply and demand of energy and prices. The longer-term vision is also explained by the monitoring of other variables such as: the decline; the current CAPEX; the financial sustainability of the companies in the sector to certain price environments; and the dynamics in OPEC countries in terms of fiscal sustainability. Econometric models of prices are made with all these elements, which are compared with both public and private external forecasts.
- i. To estimate near-term price trends, forecast reports produced by a selection of investment banks, macro consultants and international benchmark agencies are taken into account.12
- ii. The sources that present a sufficiently detailed analysis of long-term forecasts are the benchmark agencies
12 The macro consultants used are Platts Analytics, IHS and Wood Mackenzie. The reference agencies are the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).
(International Energy Agency (IEA) and Energy Information Administration (EIA) in US)
Note 21.1 specifies the assumptions regarding future prices used to perform the annual impairment test, which have led to valuation adjustments to significant assets.
Discount rates
Future cash flows are discounted to their present value at a specific rate for each CGU, determined based on the currency of its cash flows and the risks associated with them. The discount rate used by Repsol is the weighted average cost of capital employed after tax for each country and business. This rate seeks to reflect current market assessments with regard to the time value of money and the specific risks of the asset. Therefore, the discount rate used takes into account the risk-free rate, the country risk, the currency in which the cash flows are generated and the market, credit and business risk13. For the sake of consistency, estimated future cash flows do not reflect the risks that have already been considered in the discount rate or vice versa. The discount rate used considers the average leverage of the sector over the last five years, as a reasonable approximation of the optimal capital structure, using comparable oil companies as a reference. Note 21.1 shows the discount rates used in the 2019 impairment test.
Hydrocarbon exploration and production activities
Valuations of Exploration and Production assets (Upstream) use cash flow projections for a period that covers the economically productive useful lives of the oil and gas fields, limited by the contractual expiration of the operating permits, agreements or contracts. The general principles applied to determine the variables that most affect the cash flows of this business are described below:
- Hydrocarbon sale prices. The international benchmark prices used by the Group are: Brent, WTI (West Texas Intermediate) and HH (Henry Hub). In countries where international list prices do not reflect local market circumstances, the prices modeled factor in local market prices.
- Reserves, resources and production profiles. Production profiles are estimated on the basis of output levels at existing wells and the development plans in place for each productive field (see previous heading "Crude oil and gas reserves").
- Operating expenses and investments. These are calculated for the first year on the basis of the Group's annual budget and thereafter in accordance with the asset development programs, applying an escalation factor for operating expenses and investments (basically of 1-1.5%).
Downstream assets
In the Downstream segment, the cash flows of the various businesses are estimated on the basis of the outlook for their key variables (demand for oil products, unit contribution margins, fixed costs and investment flows required to maintain the level of activity), in accordance with the expectations reflected in the annual budget and in the strategic plans for each business, in line with the new scenario of energy transition and decarbonization of the economy. However, cash inflows and outflows corresponding to future restructuring exercises or investments to enhance the assets' performance are not considered. The cash flow projection period considered for this is generally five years; cash flows after year five are extrapolated without factoring in any further growth. Specifically:
- In the Refining and Mobility businesses in Spain, long-term projections were made up to 2040 (in line with the time frame used by the IEA in its estimated demand for oil products).
- The cash flows for the Wholesale and Trading Gas businesses were estimated in accordance with the following key assumptions:
13 The main components of the discount rate are detailed as follows:
- The risk-free interest rate for cash flows in US dollars relate to that of the US 10-year sovereign bond and for cash flows in euros to that of the German 10-year sovereign bond;
- With regard to country risk, the following are used: (i) market quotations, such as the spread of sovereign bonds in euros or US dollars over debt issued by Germany (euros) or the US (USD), respectively, (ii) country risk estimates contained in the EMBI (Emerging Markets Bond Index) published by JP Morgan, and (iii) country risk estimates published by three external providers - Country Risk Rating (IHS Global Insight), International Country Risk Guide (PRS Group) and Business Monitor (Fitch Group) - all adjusted for business-specific risks;
- A different credit risk premium is used depending on the currency (EUR and USD); and
- Business risk premiums are specifically calculated on the basis of 5-year historical series from comparable companies, for the Upstream, Refining & Marketing, Chemical, LPG and Gas & Power businesses.
Compared to 2018, there were no significant changes in country risk or business risk in 2019.
- i. Gas and LNG prices. The international benchmark prices used are: HH, Algonquin, JKM (Japan Korea Marker) and NBP (National Balancing Point), adjusted in accordance with references in the corresponding market if the prices do not reflect market circumstances.
- ii. Gas and LNG sales volumes and margins. The volumes used for cash flow forecasting purposes are estimated on the basis of the contracts in force at year-end and activity estimates, all in accordance with the annual budget and strategic plan. Margins factor in historical data, the price forecasts detailed in the previous point and the outlook for margins going forward.
Associates and joint ventures
The recoverability of the Group's investments in associates or joint ventures is assessed by verifying the impairment losses for the entire carrying amount of the investment, including any goodwill that may be implicit in the investment, by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount (see Note 13). The recoverable amount of an investment in an associate or joint venture is assessed individually, unless the associate or joint venture does not generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of those from the Group's other assets or cash-generating unit.
Sensitivities
In view of the foregoing, changes in the key assumptions used in calculating the recoverable amount of the assets may have a significant effect on the Group's results (see Note 21.2).
Business combinations
The Group's business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method (see Note 5) and require judgments and estimates when assigning their fair values to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and assigning the purchase price to these fair values. Note 5 specifies the main business combinations for the year.
Provisions for litigation, dismantling and other contingencies
The final cost of settling complaints, claims and litigation may vary from the estimates previously made due to differences in the identification of dates, interpretation of rules, technical opinions and assessments of the amount of damages and liabilities.
Repsol uses judgements and estimates to recognize provisions for the cost of dismantling its hydrocarbon production operations. These calculations are complex on account of the need to recognize the present value of the estimated future costs and to adjust this figure in subsequent years in order to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimates due to changes in the underlying assumptions used as a result of technological advances and regulatory changes, economic, political and environmental security factors, as well as changes in the initially-established schedules or other terms. The dismantling provisions are updated regularly to reflect trends in estimated costs and the discount rates. These discount rates take into account the risk-free rate, by term and currency, country risk and a spread according to debt structure and the cash flow projection period. Specifically, the weighted average rate set by the Group was 4.0%
Additionally, Repsol makes judgements and estimates in recognizing costs and establishing provisions for environmental cleanup and remediation costs, which are based on current information regarding costs and expected plans for remediation based on applicable laws and regulations, the identification and assessment of the effects on the environment, as well as sanitation technologies.
Therefore, any change in the factors or circumstances related to provisions of this nature, as well as changes in laws and regulations could, as a consequence, have a significant effect on the provisions recognized for these costs (see Note 15).
Calculation of income tax, tax credits and deferred tax assets
The appropriate assessment of the income tax expense is dependent on several factors, including estimates of the timing and realization of deferred tax assets and the timing of income tax payments. Collections and payments may be materially different from these estimates as a result of changes in the expected performance of the Company's businesses or in tax regulations or their interpretation, as well as unforeseen future transactions that impact the Company's tax balances (see Note 23).
Market value of derivative financial instruments
The valuation techniques used for the derivative financial instruments classified in levels 2 and 314of the hierarchy are based, in accordance with accounting standards, on an income approach, which consists of discounting known or estimated future flows using discount curves constructed on the basis of reference market interest rates (in the case of derivatives, they are estimated using implied market forward curves), including adjustments for credit risk based on the life of the instruments. In the case of options, price-fixing models based on Black & Scholes formulas are used.
The main variables for the valuation of financial instruments vary depending on the type of instrument valued, but are mainly the following: exchange rates (spot and forward), interest rate curves, counterparty risk curves, equity prices and volatilities of all the aforementioned factors. In all cases, market data are obtained from recognized information agencies or correspond to quotations from official bodies.
Calculation of expected loss on financial instruments
Repsol makes judgements and estimates for the recognition of impairment of its financial instruments. The valuation models used by the Group are widely accepted in the markets. However, the complexity of their calculation lies in determining variables such as the probability of default, exposure and loss given default (see Note 11).
Any change in the variables or circumstances related to these provisions could have a significant effect on the provisions.
Evaluation of investments in Venezuela
Repsol has a presence in Venezuela through its shareholdings in mixed oil companies and gas licensees. The current situation of crisis in the country generates increased uncertainty regarding business performance. To assess the recoverability of the investments in this country, which include both the investment in the share capital of the companies and the financing granted through loans and trade receivables, it is necessary to use certain hypotheses and assumptions (such as asset development plans, compliance with the agreements signed and the changes in the environment) which involves judgements and estimates that may vary from those initially made (see Notes 11, 14 and 21.3).
14 Financial assets recognized at fair value are classified, in accordance with their calculation methodology, into three levels:
- Level 1: Valuations based on a quoted price in an active market for an identical instrument and relate to derivatives held for trading and investments funds. - Level 2: Valuations based on a quoted price in an active market for similar financial assets or based on other valuation techniques that rely on observable market inputs.
- Level 3: Valuations based on inputs that are not directly observable in the market.
SEGMENT REPORTING
(4) BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING15
4.1) Definition of segments
The segment reporting disclosed by the Group in this section is presented in accordance with the disclosure requirements of IFRS 8 Operating segments.
The definition of the Group´s business segments is based on the different activities performed and from which the Group earns revenue or incurs expenses, as well as on the organizational structure approved by the Board of Directors for business management. Using these segments as a reference point, Repsol's management team (Executive Committee) analyzes the main operating and financial aggregates in order to make decisions about resource allocation and to assess how the Company is performing.
At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the operating segments of the Group are:
- – Upstream, corresponding to the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas reserves.
- – Downstream, corresponding mainly to the following activities: (i) refining, (ii) petrochemistry, (iii) trading and transportation of crude oil and oil products, (iv) sale of oil, chemical and LPG products, (v) sale, transport and regasification of natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG), and (vi) generation of electricity and sale of electricity and gas in Spain.
Lastly, Corporate and others includes activities not attributable to the aforementioned business segments, and specifically, corporate expenses, financial result and inter-segment consolidation adjustments.
The Group has not aggregated any operating segments for presentation purposes.
4.2) Presentation model of the results by segments
In presenting the results and other financial aggregates of its operating segments, Repsol includes the results of its joint ventures16, in accordance with the Group's interest, considering its operational and economic metrics in the same manner and with the same level of detail as for fully consolidated companies. Thus, the Group considers that the nature of its businesses and the way in which results are analyzed for decision-making purposes is adequately reflected.
In addition, the Group, considering its business reality and in order to make its disclosures more comparable with those in the sector, uses a measure of segment profit known as adjusted net income, which corresponds to net income from continuing operations at replacement cost ("Current Cost of Supply" or CCS), net of taxes and non-controlling interests, without including certain income and expenses ("Special Items"). The financial result is assigned to the adjusted net income of Corporate and others.
The Current Cost of Supply (CCS),commonly used in this industry to present the results of Downstream businesses that must work with huge inventories subject to continual price fluctuations, is not an accepted European accounting regulation, yet does enable the comparability with other sector companies as well as the monitoring of businesses independently of the impact of price variations on their inventories. Under Income at CCS, the cost of volumes sold during the reporting period is calculated using the procurement and production costs incurred during that same period. Therefore, adjusted net income does not include the so-called Equity effect. This Inventory effect is presented separately, net of tax and non-controlling interests, and corresponds to the difference between Income at CCS and that obtained using the weighted average cost approach, which is the method used by the Group to determine its earnings in accordance with European accounting regulations.
Furthermore, adjusted net income does not include the so-called special items, i.e. certain material items whose separate presentation is considered appropriate in order to facilitate analysis of the ordinary business performance. This heading includes gains/losses on divestments, restructuring charges, asset impairment losses, and provisions for contingencies and charges and other relevant income/expenses that do not form part of the ordinary management of the businesses. These results are presented separately, net of the tax effect and non-controlling interests.
15 Some of metrics presented in this Note are classified as Alternative Performance Metrics (APMs) in accordance with ESMA guidelines (for further information, see Appendix I of the Consolidated Management Report or www.repsol.com.) All of the figures shown throughout this Note have been reconciled with the EU-IFRS financial statements in Appendix II.
16 In the segment reporting model, joint ventures are consolidated proportionally in accordance with the Group's ownership interest. See Note 14 and Appendix I, where the Group's main joint ventures are identified.

MAIN ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS
(5) MAIN ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS
Accounting policies: Business combinations
Business combinations in which the Group acquires control of one or more businesses through the merger or spin-off of several companies or through the acquisition of all the assets and liabilities of a company or of a party constituting one or more businesses, are recognized using the acquisition method in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The acquisition method involves, except for the recognition and measurement exceptions set out in IFRS 3, recognizing the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value at the acquisition date, provided that this value can be measured reliably. Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses in the income statement.
The difference between the cost of the business combination and the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired less the liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill if it is positive, or as income in the income statement if it is negative.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition-date carrying amount of the previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at its acquisition-date fair value, with any resulting gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.
5.1) Acquisition of businesses from Viesgo
On November 2, 2018, Viesgo's unregulated low-emission electricity generation business and its regulated and unregulated gas and electricity retailers were acquired for €733 million.
The accounting at December 31, 2019 for this business combination was definitive, once the 12-month period from the acquisition ended, as provided for in IFRS 3 Business Combinations. During this period, the measurement of the assets and liabilities acquired was reviewed, without any significant changes in the amount of goodwill initially recognized:
| Carrying | Carrying amount of the acquired |
|
|---|---|---|
| € Million | amount of Repsol |
|
| Intangible assets | 118 | 60 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 361 | 391 |
| Deferred tax assets | 257 | 257 |
| Other non-current assets | 20 | 20 |
| Other current assets | 138 | 138 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 26 | 26 |
| Total Assets | 920 | 892 |
| Current and non-current provisions | (66) | (68) |
| Deferred tax liabilities | (12) | (5) |
| Other current liabilities | (158) | (158) |
| Total Liabilities | (236) | (231) |
| NET ASSETS ACQUIRED | 684 | 661 |
| COST OF ACQUISITION | 733 | |
| GOODWILL | 49 |
5.2) Acquisition of 63% of the Eagle Ford block
In November 2019, the 63% interest of its partner, Equinor, in the assets of Eagle Ford was acquired for \$352 million. This unconventional asset, located in southern Texas (United States), produces crude oil and gas with associated liquids. With this transaction, Repsol now controls 100% of the asset, operating the asset and incorporating approximately 280 net square kilometers of the mining concession, and 34,000 barrels of oil equivalent daily.
The purchase price was provisionally allocated to the assets acquired (mainly property, plant and equipment) and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition17. No significant differences were identified between the acquisition price and the estimated fair value and, therefore, no goodwill was recognized.
5.3) Sale of the interest in Naturgy Energy Group
On May 18, 2018, Repsol, S.A. completed the sale of its interest in Naturgy Energy Group, S.A. (200,858,658 shares representing 20.072% of the share capital) for a total price of €3,816 million, equal to €19 per share, all in accordance with the terms established in the sale and purchase agreement entered into with Rioja Bidco Shareholdings, S.L.U. on February 22, 2018.
The gain generated by the sale amounted to €344 million net of tax, recognized under "Net income from discontinued operations" in the income statement (see Note 24), which also includes the profit generated by this interest up until February 22, 2018, amounting to €68 million.
17 The fair value of the assets (property, plant and equipment) was calculated using an income approach, i.e. discounted cash flows by considering unobservable market variables consistent with those described in Note 21.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE, DEBT AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES
(6) FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
Repsol, as an essential part of its strategy, has committed to a policy of financial prudence. The target financial structure is defined by this commitment of solvency and the aim to maximize shareholder returns, by optimizing the cost of capital.
The determination of the target financial structure takes into account the leverage ratio, defined as the relationship between net debt18 (including, where appropriate, lease liabilities) and capital employed19.Both metrics are calculated, for these purposes, in accordance with the Group's reporting mModel described in Note 4and the reconciliation of these figures to those established in EU-IFRSs and used for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements can be found in the Management Report (www.repsol.com). The calculations of these ratios at December 31, 2019 and 2018, are as follows:
| With leases | Without leases | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| € Million | 2019 | 2019 | 2018 |
| Equity | 25,209 | 25,336 | 30,914 |

(1) Under the Spanish Companies Act, 10% of profit for each year of the parent company must be transferred to the legal reserve until the balance of this reserve reaches at least 20% of share capital. The legal reserve can be used to increase capital provided that the remaining reserve balance does not fall below 10% of the increased share capital amount. Otherwise, until the legal reserve exceeds 20% of share capital, it can only be used to offset losses, provided that sufficient other reserves are not available for this purpose.
(2) "Other reserves" includes the impact of first-time application of IFRS 16 and IFRIC 23 in 2019 (see Note 3.2.1) and the impact of first-time application of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 in 2018.
7.1) Share capital

(1) To replace what would have been the final dividend for 2018.
In November 2019, a capital reduction was carried out through the redemption of €71 million treasury shares22 (representing approximately 4.56% of Repsol's share capital at December 31), approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on May 31, 2019, aimed at offsetting the dilutive effect of the capital increases through the bonus share issue formalized in 2019 within the framework of the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" program. The acquisition cost of the shares redeemed amounted to €1,024 million.
In addition, in January 2020, under the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" program, replacing what would have been the interim dividend from 2019, Repsol paid out €107 million in cash (€0.424 per right before withholdings) to those shareholders opting to sell their bonus share rights back to the Company, and delivered 38,647,825 shares, worth €541 million, to those opting to take their dividend in the form of new shares from the Parent.
At the date of authorization for issue of these consolidated Financial Statements, the Company's Board of Directors plans to propose at the next Annual General Meeting to continue the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" program, through a bonus share issue, on the dates on which the final dividend has traditionally been paid and the corresponding capital reduction through the redemption of treasury shares to offset the dilutive effect of these capital increases. The Board also agreed to submit for approval at the next Annual General Meeting a proposal to reduce capital by an amount equal to 5% of share capital at December 31, 2018, through the redemption of treasury shares. This last proposal for a capital reduction is independent of any proposal that may be submitted at the next Annual General Meeting in the context of shareholder remuneration through the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" program.
7.4) Other equity instruments
On March 25, 2015, Repsol International Finance, B.V. (hereinafter, "RIF") issued a perpetual subordinated bond guaranteed by Repsol, S.A., with a value of €1,000 million, with no defined maturity date, and redeemable at the request of the issuer from year six or under certain circumstances stipulated in the bond terms and conditions.
This bond was placed with qualified investors and listed on the Luxembourg Stock Market, accruing a fixed annual coupon of 3.875% payable to the bondholders annually from the issuance date until March 25, 2021, and, thereafter, a fixed annual coupon equal to the 6-year swap rate applicable plus a spread.
The issuer can defer the coupon payments without triggering an event of default. Coupons so deferred will be cumulative and must be paid in certain cases described in the related terms and conditions of the issue (for further information, see the informational prospectus on the issue available at www.repsol.com).
This bond was recognized under "Other equity instruments", included under equity in the balance sheet, considering that it does not meet the accounting conditions required to be treated as a financial liability23. The financial expense, net of taxes, associated with the coupon on the subordinated bond has been recognized under "Retained earnings and other reserves" amounting to €29 million.
22 The capital reduction was carried out through the redemption of existing treasury shares as of the date of the Board of Directors meeting held on March 27, 2019 and the shares acquired through the share repurchase program completed on November 5, 2019.
23 This bond does not involve a contractual obligation to make payment in cash or other financial assets or an obligation to exchange financial assets or liabilities.

Financial conditions and debt obligations
In general, the financial debt agreements include the early termination clauses customary in agreements of this nature.
The ordinary bonds issued by RIF and guaranteed by Repsol, S.A., with an aggregate face value at year-end of €4,650 million, contain certain early termination clauses (including cross-acceleration or cross-default, applicable to the issuer and the guarantor) and negative pledge covenants in relation to future bond issues.

(10) DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING TRANSACTIONS
10.1) Accounting hedges
The Group contracts derivatives to hedge exposure to changes in cash flows, most notably in 2019 and 2018:
- A cash flow hedge28 in dollars in the form of interest rate swaps associated with the funding for the investment in the Canaport LNG project (Canada), for a notional amount of €289 million, maturing at long term, and with a negative fair value of €72 million at December 31, 2019. Under this hedge, the Group paid an average fixed interest rate of 5.279% and receives 3-month Libor. The fair value recognized in equity, yet to be recognized in profit or loss, amounts to -€53 million after tax at December 31, 2019 (-€40 million after tax at December 31, 2018). The impact before tax recognized in 2019 and 2018 in the income statement amounted to €9 million.
- Cash flow hedges in the form of interest rate swaps26arranged in 2014 for a notional amount of €1,500 million to hedge future bond issues in late 2014 and early 2015. Under these hedges, the Group paid a weighted average interest rate of 1.762% and receives 6-month Euribor. The fair value recognized in equity, yet to be recognized in profit or loss, amounts to -€63 million after tax at December 31, 2019 (-€73 million after tax at December 31, 2018). The impact before tax recognized in 2019 in the income statement amounted to €14 million (€13 million in 2018).
- Cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in electricity purchase prices maturing between 2020 and 2023. At December 31, 2019, its notional amount was €226 million and its negative fair value was €24 million.
- Cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in gas prices maturing in 2020. At December 31, 2019, its notional amount was -€267 million and its positive fair value was €40 million (€10 million at December 31, 2018).
28 Hedges tied to [LIBOR/EURIBOR]. In accordance with the "Amendments to IFRS 9 and IAS 39: Interest rate benchmark reform" applied early (see Note 3.3), the cash flows of the hedging instrument and the hedged item will not be altered as a result of this reform.
In addition, the Group maintains instruments to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates relating to the ownership interest in the net assets of foreign operations. Of note are the financial instruments designated as hedges of net investments with respect to certain dollar assets in the Upstream segment, the notional amount of which at December 31 amounted to \$3,836 million (€3,416 million). In 2018, the notional amount was \$3,108 million (€2,714 million).

(1) The cumulative amount of translation differences from discontinued hedges amounts to -€77 million.
29 In cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in fair value is recognized under "Hedging transactions" in equity and the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion (absolute excess of the cumulative change in fair value of the hedging instrument over the hedged item) is recognized in the income statement. Accumulated amounts in equity are transferred to the income statement in periods in which the hedged items affect the income statement or, in the case of a hedge of a transaction that results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, are included in the cost of the asset or liability when the asset or liability is recognized in the balance sheet. Hedges of net investments are accounted for in the same way as cash flow hedges, although changes in the valuation of these transactions are recognized in equity under "Translation differences" until the hedged foreign transaction is disposed of, at which time they are transferred to the income statement.
The cumulative balances by type of hedging instrument at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are:

10.2) Other derivative transactions
Furthermore, Repsol has arranged a series of derivatives to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate and price risk of crude oil and oil products (including CO2) that are not recognized as accounting hedges under IFRS 9. These derivatives include currency forward contracts that mature in less than a year, as part of the global strategy to manage the exposure to exchange-rate risk. Additionally, the Group has entered into futures and swap contracts to hedge the product risk that derives from future physical transactions such as the sale and/or purchase of crude oil and other oil products.

(2) Long-term oil and gas sale and purchase firm commitments are analyzed with the aim of determining whether they correspond to the supply or marketing needs of the normal business activities of the Group or whether, on the contrary, these should be considered as a derivative instrument and be recognized in accordance with the criteria set forth in IFRS 9.
In 2019 and 2018, short-term forward contracts and currency swaps were arranged that generated a financial profit of €157 million and €127 million, respectively, which are recognized under "Financial result - Change in fair value of financial instruments".
In 2019 and 2018, the impact of the valuation of product derivatives and the price of CO2 on "Operating income" was €281 million and €134 million, respectively.
(11) FINANCIAL RISKS
Group business is exposed to different kinds of financial risk, including: market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Repsol has a risk management structure and systems that enable it to identify, measure and control the risks to which the Group is exposed.
11.1) Market risk
Market risk is the potential loss faced due to adverse changes in market variables. The Group is exposed to several types of market risks: exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and commodities risk. The Company monitors exposure to market risk through ongoing sensitivity analysis. This strategy is complemented with other risk management measures when required by the nature of the risk exposure. Accordingly, the risk that affects the result is subject to maximum risk levels, measured in terms of Value at Risk (VaR), defined by the Executive Committee in line with the different authorization levels and supervised on a daily basis by an area that is separate from the area responsible for management.
A sensitivity analysis of the main risks inherent in financial instruments is included for each of the market risks described below, showing how income and equity could be affected (under "Other comprehensive income") as a result of the financial instruments held by the Group at the reporting date. The sensitivity analysis uses changes in variables representative of their historical behavior.
a) Exchange rate risk
The Group's profit and equity are exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies in which it transacts, with the US dollar generating the greatest level of exposure.
Exposure to exchange rate risk can be traced, on the one hand, to financial assets and investments, liabilities and monetary flows in currencies other than the functional currency of the Group's parent and, on the other hand, exchange rate risk extends to Group companies whose assets, liabilities and monetary flows are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of said companies.
Repsol constantly monitors the Company's exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies in which it undertakes significant operations and actively manages exchange rate risk positions that affect the financial result of the income statement. To this end, it contracts derivative financial instruments that seek to provide a consolidated economic hedge of currencies for which there is a liquid market.
Furthermore, cash flow hedges are arranged for the purpose of protecting the economic value of the flows corresponding to investment and divestment operations, corporate operations or project execution or one-off contracts for which the monetary flows are distributed over a period of time.
For exchange rate derivatives, see Note 10.
The sensitivity of net income and equity to exchange rate risk, as a result of the appreciation or depreciation of the euro against the dollar, is illustrated below:
| Appreciation (+) / depreciation (-) in exchange rate |
€ Million | |
|---|---|---|
| Effect on net income after tax | 5% | 6 |
| (5)% | (6 ) | |
| Effect on equity | 5% | 89 |
| (5)% | (81 ) |
b) Interest rate risk
Fluctuations in interest rates can affect interest income and expense from financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates; which may also impact the fair value of financial assets and liabilities with a fixed interest rate. Furthermore, these fluctuations can affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities due to variations in the discount rates of applicable cash flows, the return on investments and the future cost of raising financial resources.
Repsol's debt is linked to the most competitive financial instruments at any given time, both in terms of the capital market and banking market, and based on those market conditions considered to be ideal for each of them. Furthermore, Repsol contracts interest rate derivatives to reduce the risk of variations in financial burdens and in the fair value of its debt, and to mitigate the interest rate risk on future fixed-rate debt issues, which are designated in general as hedging instruments (see Note 10).
At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the net debt balance at fixed rates amounted to €6,423 million and €7,183 million, respectively. This is equivalent to 84% and 116%, respectively, of total net debt including interest rate derivative financial instruments.
The sensitivity of net income and equity, as a result of the effect of fluctuations in interest rates on the financial instruments held by the Group at December 31, is shown in the following table:
| Increase (+) / decrease (-) in interest rates (basis points) |
€ Million | |
|---|---|---|
| Effect on net income after tax | 50 p.b. | 5 |
| -50 p.b. | (5 ) | |
| Effect on equity | 50 p.b. | 11 |
| -50 p.b. | (12 ) |
In relation to the process of transitioning to new interest rate benchmarks currently under way in various jurisdictions worldwide, the Group has begun reviewing its inventory of contracts, in accordance with the timetable envisaged in the reform, in order to identify those that include interest rate clauses that may be affected, as well as the substitute interest rate clauses (fall-back clauses) contained therein.
c) Commodity price risk
The Group's results are exposed mainly to volatility in the prices of oil, derivative products, natural gas and electricity.
In some cases, Repsol arranges derivatives to mitigate its exposure to commodity price risk. These derivatives provide an economic hedge of the Group's results, although they are not always designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes (see Note 10).
At December 31, 2019 an increase or decrease of 10% in these prices would have approximately led to the following changes in net income.
| Increase (+) / decrease (-) in commodity prices |
€ Million | |
|---|---|---|
| Effect on net income after tax | +10% | 15 |
| (10)% | (15 ) |
11.2) Liquidity risk
The liquidity policy applied by Repsol is structured around guaranteeing the availability of the necessary funds to ensure compliance with the obligations assumed and the evolution of the Group's business plans, while maintaining the ideal amount of liquid resources and seeking the highest level of efficiency in the management of financial resources at all times. In line with this prudent financial policy, Repsol maintains cash resources and other liquid financial instruments30 and undrawn lines of credit that are sufficient to cover current debt maturities 1.2 times.
Repsol controls and monitors its financial needs ranging from the production of daily cash flow forecasts to the financial planning involved in the annual budgets and its strategic plan; it maintains diversified and stable sources of financing that facilitate efficient access to financial markets, all within the framework of a financing structure that is compatible with the corresponding credit rating in the investment grade category.
The Group had undrawn lines of credit amounting to €1,808 million and €2,249 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

- (2) The contractual maturities of the derivatives included under this heading are outlined in Note 10. It does not include trade derivatives recognized under "Other non-current liabilities" and "Other payables" on the balance sheet.
11.3) Credit risk31
Credit risk is defined as the possibility of a third party not complying with their payment obligations, thus creating credit losses. The Group specifically evaluates all available information consistent with internal credit risk management for each financial instrument, including those of a commercial nature.
The Group's exposure to credit risk, according to the type of financial instrument together with the impairment recognized at December 31, 2019 for each of them, is broken down as follows:
| Gross balance | Average impairment |
Impairment | Net balance 12/31/2019 |
Net balance 12/31/2018 |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current financial assets and Cash (1) | 5,779 | — | — | 5,779 | 6,497 |
| Non-current financial assets (2) | 3,827 | 61% | 2,331 (3) | 1,496 | 1,583 |
| Other current and non-current assets (4) | 2,123 | 29% | (612) | 1,510 | 996 |
| Trade and other receivables (5) | 6,111 | 3% | (200) | 5,911 | 6,105 |
(1) Impairments of less than one million euros due to the high credit quality of the counterparties (banks and financial institutions with ratings equal to or greater than BB). The Group's cash surplus is used to acquire safe and liquid short-term instruments, including short-term bank deposits and other instruments with similar characteristics. The portfolio of these investments is diversified to avoid a concentration of risk in any one instrument or counterparty.
(2) This heading is presented in the balance sheet net of the provision for the equity deficit of Cardón IV (see Note 14). (3) Includes assets impaired in Phase III (see following section, "Expected loss"). The impairment losses at December 31, 2019 relate mainly to ongoing
litigation and bankruptcy proceedings (€1,748 million) and to loans and lines of credit granted to joint ventures in Venezuela (€537 million).
(4) Includes mainly assets impaired in Phase III corresponding mainly to accounts receivable related to activity in Venezuela (see Notes 20.4 and 21.3). (5) See the following section "Trade and other receivables".
Trade and other receivables
The trade receivables are shown on the balance sheet at December 31, 2019 and 2018, net of provisions for impairment, for an amount of €5,911 million and €6,105 million, respectively. The following table shows the age of trade receivables net of provisions for impairment (including expected loss):
| € Million | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | ||||
| Maturities | Debt | Impairment | Balance | Balance | |
| Unmatured debt | 5,580 | 44 | 5,536 | 5,667 | |
| Matured debt 0-30 days | 242 | 7 | 235 | 257 | |
| Matured debt 31-180 days | 108 | 29 | 79 | 116 | |
| Matured debt over 180 days | 141 | 80 | 61 | 65 | |
| TOTAL | 6,071 | 160 | 5,911 | 6,105 |
The Group's credit risk on trade receivables is not significantly concentrated as it is spread out among a large number of customers and other counterparties. The maximum net exposure to a third party after its trade receivables have become impaired, including official bodies and public sector entities, does not exceed 1.7%.
As a general rule, the Group establishes a bank guarantee issued by financial institutions as the most suitable instrument of protection from credit risk. In some cases, the Group has contracted credit insurance policies whereby this partially transfers to third parties the credit risk related to the business activity of some of their businesses.
As part of its business activities, the Group has guarantees extended by third parties in an amount of €3,206 million at December 31, 2019 and €3.584 million at December 31, 2018. Of this balance, the trade receivables secured by guarantees stood at €908 million at December 31, 2019 and €531 million at December 31, 2018, respectively.
31 The credit risk information included in this section does not include the credit risk of investees or joint ventures, the impact of which is recognized under "Net income from investments accounted for using the equity method". Expected credit losses are an estimate, weighted by probability, of credit losses (i.e. the present value of all cash deficits) over the expected life of the financial instrument. A cash deficit is defined as the difference between the cash flows due to the entity under the contract and the cash flows it expects to receive. Because expected credit losses take into account both the amount and timing of payments, there is a credit loss if the entity expects to collect in full, but later than contractually agreed.
3 2
EXPECTED LOSS:
The Group calculates the expected credit loss on its trade accounts receivable using its own risk assessment models for its customers, taking into account the probability of default, the balance at risk and the estimated Loss Given Default (LGD), taking into account all the information available for each customer. As a general rule, the Group applies a threshold of more than 180 days in default for the consideration that objective evidence of default/deterioration has been incurred. These criteria are applied in the absence of other objective evidence of non-compliance, such as bankruptcy situations, etc.
The remaining financial instruments, mainly certain loans and financial guarantees granted to joint ventures, are individually monitored for the purposes of determining when, if any, there may have been a significant impairment in credit risk or default.
The expected loss on financial instruments is calculated based on the stage of the debtor's credit risk31 . The impairment losses on the financial assets, to which the expected credit loss model is applicable, are calculated using the following formula:
| Expected credit loss | = | Probability of default(1) | x | Exposure(2) | x | LDG(3) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ---------------------- | --- | --------------------------- | --- | ------------- | --- | -------- | -- |
(1) Probability of default: is calculated individually for each trade debtor according to the solvency models approved by the Group, except for individuals, for whom an average default rate is used. The models take into account quantitative information (economic-financial variables of the customer, external and internal payment behavior, etc.), qualitative information (sector of activity, macroeconomic data on the country, etc.) and market sensitivity variables (e.g. price performance). An internal rating and an associated probability of default are obtained for each debtor, according to the models.
(2) Exposure: is calculated taking into account the total amount of outstanding credit and a potential future exposure according to the available risk limit.
(3) Loss Given Default (LGD): reflects the percentage of unrecovered exposure in the event of default, also taking into account whether or not such exposure is guaranteed, and is based on the historical behavior of customers.
With regard to financial instruments relating to operations in Venezuela, the expected loss was calculated by considering the cash flow scenarios expected for the business, weighted by their estimated probability. Three LGD scenarios (moderate, significant and severe) are applied with different assumptions and economic impacts on the estimated cash flows. The probability of occurrence of these scenarios is weighted according to the historical information of sovereign defaults (Moody's Report: "Sovereign Default and Recovery Rates, 1983-2017") and Management's expectations. The estimation of the cash flow scenarios is consistent with those used for the purpose of calculating the recoverable amount of assets. The assessment of credit risk impairment in Venezuela required estimates of the implications and evolution of a highly uncertain environment, which made it advisable to have an independent expert to validate Management's judgements.
32 Phase 1: At the time of initial recognition, the expected credit loss is calculated with the probability of default in the first 12 months. In the case of trade receivables, the calculation is spread over the life of the instrument, in accordance with the accounting standard. Phase 2: When the instrument undergoes a significant increase in risk, the expected loss is calculated with the probability of default for the entire life of the
instrument. Phase 3: When the instrument is already impaired, the expected loss for the entire life of the instrument is calculated and, in the event that interest accrues, it is calculated on the net balance of the provision for credit losses.

Goodwill
The breakdown of goodwill, by segment and company, at December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

| Repsol Electricidad y Gas, S.A. | 49 | 49 |
| Other companies | 13 | 68 |
| TOTAL (2) | 2,171 | 3,011 |
(1) Corresponds to a total of 12 CGUs, with the most significant individual amount not exceeding to 31% of the total of segment. Of the total, €424 million and €443 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively, correspond to companies whose main activities are carried on in Europe.
(2) Includes €1,026 million and €191 million of accumulated impairment losses in 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Upstream:
The goodwill that arose from the acquisition of ROGCI, which was allocated to the segment for the purpose of assessing its recoverability, is justified, among other reasons, by the synergies arising from the acquisition as a result of savings in corporate functions and support functions that benefit the segment as a whole, and which could not be allocated to specific assets on a nonarbitrary basis.
Once most of these synergies had been captured and after the decrease in the recoverable amount of the assets in the Upstream segment (see Note 21.2), an impairment loss of €793 million was recognized on the goodwill. Unfavorable changes in the key assumptions that determine the recoverable amount of segment assets, mainly declining oil and gas prices, sales volume (production) and increases in the discount rate, would result in additional impairment losses on the goodwill of ROGCI. Note 21.2 includes additional information on the effect of changes in the key assumptions made on the value of segment assets.
Downstream:
The recoverability of the goodwill of the Downstream segment was analyzed in accordance with the criteria detailed in Note 3. In addition, for those CGUs where the goodwill allocated thereto is significant compared to the total amount of goodwill, Repsol analyses whether there are reasonably foreseeable changes in the key assumptions for determining the recoverable amount.
Specifically, the most relevant sensitivity analyses have been carried out, on an individual basis, on the following assumptions: i) a decrease in sales volume (5%), ii) an increase in operating and investment costs (5%), iii) a decrease in the unit contribution margin (5%), and iv) an increase in the discount rate (100 basis points). Repsol considers that, based on present knowledge, reasonably foreseeable changes in these assumptions would not have a significant impact on the Group's financial statements at December 31, 2019.

(1) "Other provisions" includes mainly the provisions recognized to cover obligations arising from environmental risks (see Note 31), pension commitments (see Note 29), use of CO2 allowances (see Note 31), employee incentive schemes (see Note 29), provisions for litigation (see Note 15.2), provisions for tax risks not related to income tax (see Note 23), provisions for workforce restructuring and other provisions to cover obligations arising from the Group's interests in companies. Following the application of IFRIC 23 (see Note 3.2.1), the tax provisions related to income tax are presented under "Deferred taxes and other" in the balance sheet (see Note 23).
(2) Includes €114 million and €103 million reflecting the discounting to present value of provisions in 2019 and 2018. In 2019 "Provisions charged to results" includes the provisions corresponding to the arbitration initiated by Addax Petroleum UK Limited in relation to the purchase of Talisman Energy UK Limited (see 15.2) and the consumption of CO2 rights during the year (see Note 31).
(3) In 2018 "Other provisions", included mainly the payment arising from the settlement agreement that ended the "Galley" oil pipeline litigation and included the payments that canceled the provisions for workforce restructuring.
(4) In 2019 "Onerous contracts" included the reclassification of the net reversal of the impairment of the Wholesaler&Trading Gas business in North America (see Notes 13 and 21). In 2019 and 2018 "Other provisions" included the adjustment for the negative value of the investments in Petroquiriquire and Cardón IV (see Note 14).
The following table provides an estimate of maturities of provisions at year-end 2019:
| Due dates(1) € Million | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Less than one year | From 1 to 5 years | > 5 years and/or undetermined |
Total | |
| Provisions for decommissioning fields | 121 | 521 | 1,228 | 1,870 |
| Provision for onerous contracts | 52 | 148 | 220 | 420 |
| Other provisions | 692 | 865 | 930 | 2,487 |
| TOTAL | 865 | 1,534 | 2,378 | 4,777 |
(1) Due to the nature of the risks provisioned, these timing assessments are subject to uncertainty and changes that are beyond the Group's control. As a result, this schedule could change in the future depending on the circumstances on which these estimates are based.
(2) In 2019, a change in the discount rate of +/- 50 p.b. would have the effect of decreasing/increasing provisions for dismantling costs by €(108) million and €120 million, respectively.
15.2) Disputes
The amounts provisioned are calculated on the basis of the best estimate of the amount needed to settle the lawsuit in question, underpinned, among others, by a case-by-case analysis of the facts, the legal opinions of its in-house and external advisors and prior experience in these matters.
At December 31, 2019, Repsol's balance sheet includes provisions for proceedings in the ordinary course of its activities totaling €948 million (€106 million at December 31, 2018). The most significant legal or arbitration proceedings and their status as of the date of authorization for issue of these Consolidated Financial Statements are summarized below.
United Kingdom
Addax arbitration in relation to the purchase of Talisman Energy UK Limited (TSEUK)
On July 13, 2015, Addax Petroleum UK Limited ("Addax") and Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corporation ("Sinopec") filed a "Notice of Arbitration" against Talisman Energy Inc. (currently "ROGCI") and Talisman Colombia Holdco Limited ("TCHL") in connection with the purchase of 49% of the shares of TSEUK (currently "RSRUK", see Note 13). On October 1, 2015 ROGCI and TCHL submitted the answer to the "Notice of Arbitration". On May 25, 2016, Addax and Sinopec formalized the arbitration claim, in which they requested that, in the event that their claims be estimated in their entirety, they be paid the amount of their initial investment in RSRUK, materialized in 2012 through the purchase of 49% of this from TCHL, a 100% subsidiary of ROGCI, ttogether with any additional investment, past or future, in such company, as well as any loss of opportunity that could have occurred, estimating all this in a figure total of approximately \$5.500 million.
The dispute relates to events which took place in 2012, prior to Repsol's acquisition of Talisman in 2015 -and that does not involve any actions by Repsol.
ROCGI and TCHL submitted their response to the arbitration complaint and corresponding evidence on November 25, 2016. Addax and Sinopec submitted a reply brief with additional evidence on May 31, 2017; and ROCGI and TCHL submitted a rejoinder brief and further evidence on August 2, 2017. New expert reports were exchanged on October 18, 2017, November 1, 2017, and May 23, 2018.
ROGCI and TCHL asked the Arbitral Tribunal to dismiss the claims of Addax and Sinopec based on contractual guarantees and in January 2017 the Court decided that it would deliberate on that request prior to other issues. The hearing regarding this request took place on June 19 and 20, 2017. On August 15, 2017, the Arbitral Tribunal issued a Partial Award dismissing Addax and Sinopec warranty claims.
The Arbitral Tribunal decided, among other procedural matters, the split of the procedure in two phases: the first addressing liability and the second dealing with the quantum of any liability found that, where appropriate, would have been determined . The oral hearing on liability issues took place between January 29 and February 22 and between June 18 and 29, 2018, this last period being devoted mainly to the testimonies of the experts proposed by the parties. The hearing on the oral conclusions was held from July 9 to 11, 2018 and the written conclusions were presented on September 29 and October 12, 2018.
On January 29, 2020, the Arbitral Tribunal issued its second Partial Award on one aspect of the five matters to be determined in the liability phase and, although Repsol had considered the claims to be without merit -supported by external advice-, and still does, the Tribunal has decided that ROGCI and TCHL are liable to Sinopec and Addax in respect of that aspect of the claim.
As indicated, the partial Award issued addresses one of the five claims regarding liability. The Court has indicated that it will decide the result of the remaining ones in due time, through subsequent awards, although the time at which they will be issued is currently unknown. In principle, once all of them have been decided, a new procedural phase will be necessary to determine the amounts, whose schedule has not yet been established. It is likely that this calendar should include deadlines for new allegation briefs, evidence, additional expert statements and a new oral hearing. It is estimated that the phase related to the determination of the amount, without taking into account any challenges to the awards, will not be resolved before the first quarter of 2022.
Repsol is analyzing the different actions that fit this partial award, including and foresees its challenge before the Singapore courts.
Although it is not known with certainty the amount of the eventual compensation (if any), since the litigation still has a long way and numerous pending decisions, in view of the partial award issued, Repsol, prudently, has made an estimate of the economic impacts that could be derived finally and as a whole from the litigation, having accrued the corresponding provision of 837 million euros in their financial statements as of December 31, 2019.
Additionally, on November 30, 2017 Repsol, S.A. commenced an arbitration against China Petroleum Corporation and TipTop Luxembourg S.A.R.L seeking relief from any adverse ruling on the arbitration mentioned above together with other damages yet unquantified. This procedure is based on their conduct towards Repsol during the months leading up to its acquisition of the Talisman Group.
United States of America
The Passaic River / Newark Bay lawsuit
The events underlying this litigation related to the sale by Maxus Energy Corporation ("Maxus") of its former chemicals subsidiary, Diamond Shamrock Chemical Company ("Chemicals") to Occidental Chemical Corporation ("OCC"). Maxus agreed to indemnify Occidental for certain environmental contingencies relating to the business and activities of Chemicals prior to September 4, 1986. After that (1995), Maxus was acquired by YPF S.A. and subsequently (in 1999) Repsol S.A. acquired YPF.
In December 2005, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP") and the New Jersey Spill Compensation Fund (together, the "State of New Jersey") sued Repsol YPF S.A. (today called Repsol, S.A., hereinafter, "Repsol"), YPF, YPF Holdings Inc. ("YPFH"), CLH Holdings ("CLHH"), Tierra Solutions, Inc. ("Tierra"), Maxus and OCC for the alleged contamination caused by the former Chemicals old plant which allegedly contaminated the Passaic River, Newark Bay and other bodies of water and properties in the vicinity.
On September 26, 2012 OCC lodged a Second Amended Cross Claim (the "Cross Claim") against Repsol, YPF, Maxus, Tierra and CLHH (all of which together "the Defendants") demanding, among other things, that Repsol and YPF be held liable for Maxus' debts.
Between June 2013 and August 2014, the Defendants signed different agreements with the State of New Jersey, in which they do not acknowledge liability and through certain payments in exchange for the withdrawal by the State of New Jersey of its proceedings against them. In February 2015, Repsol file a claim against OCC for the \$65 million that it had to pay to the State of New Jersey.
On April 5, 2016 the Presiding Judge decided to dismiss OCC's suit against Repsol in full. On June 17, 2016 Maxus filed for bankruptcy with the Federal Bankruptcy Court of the State of Delaware, and also requested the stay of the Cross Claim. On October 19, 2017, the Presiding Judge upheld Repsol's claim against OCC in full, ordering OCC to pay \$65 million plus interest and costs.
On September 14, 2018, Maxus (assuming right of ownership of the claim on behalf of OCC) and OCC filed an appeal against these rulings. At the same time, OCC filed an appeal against the claim ordering them to pay the \$65 million that Repsol had to pay to the State of New Jersey.
On June 14, 2018, the Maxus Bankruptcy Administration filed a lawsuit ("New Claim") in the Federal Bankruptcy Court of the State of Delaware against YPF, Repsol and certain subsidiaries of both companies for the same claims as those contained in the Cross Claim. On February, 2019, the Federal Bankruptcy Court rejected the petitions submitted by Repsol requesting that the Court reject the New Claim from the outset, which implies that the proceedings will be ongoing.
On December 10, 2019, the bankruptcy managers of Maxus filed an Insurance Claim in Texas against Greenstone Assurance Limited (a historical captive reinsurance company of the Maxus Group and currently 100% owned by Repsol - "Greenstone"), claiming that this company would be required to pay Maxus compensation for the liabilities arising from the indemnity granted to OCC, by virtue of alleged insurance policies issued by Greenstone between 1974 and 1998.
Repsol maintains the view, as has been shown in the Cross Claim, that the claims made in the New Claim and in the Insurance Claim are unfounded.
(16) OTHER NON-CURRENT ASSETS

At December 31, 2019 the balance of commodity inventories, related to trading activity, recognized at fair value less costs to sell, amounted to €433 million, and the effect of their measurement at market value represented income of €20 million. Recoverable amounts are calculated using market information and benchmarks. Specifically, forward price curves provided by the market depending on the time horizon for the transactions. The main variables used are: prices taken from official publications (Platt's, Argus, OPIS, brokers, etc.) and historic or mark-to-market premiums, if available.
In the assessment of refinery products, production costs are allocated in proportion to the selling price of the related products (iso margin method) due to the existing difficulty to recognize the conversion costs of every product.

INCOME
(20) OPERATING INCOME
On the same date as these consolidated Financial Statements, Repsol published its 2019 consolidated Management Report, which includes an explanation of performance results and other aggregates. The report is available at www.repsol.com.
20.1) Sales and income from services rendered
In 2019 revenue from Upstream activities amounted to €4,684 million, while that of the Downstream segment totaled €46,325 million (€5,182 million and €46,712 million, respectively, in 2018) 34 . In Upstream, income was mainly generated either from the sale of crude oil, condensed oil and LPG and natural gas, or from the provision of hydrocarbon operation services, depending on the contracts in force in each of the countries in which the Group operates. In Downstream, income is generated mainly from the sale of oil products (petrol, fuel oil, LPG, asphalt, lubricants, etc.), petrochemical products (ethylene, propylene, polyolefins and interim products), gas (natural gas and LNG) and electricity.
The decrease in revenue in the Upstream segment (-9.6%) is mainly due to lower realization prices for crude oil and gas and, to a lesser extent, to lower volumes sold, mainly in Libya (as a result of greater disruptions due to safety conditions), Canada and Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam). In Downstream, revenue dropped slightly compared to 2018 (-0.8%), and reduced revenue as a result of lower volumes of oil products sold was offset by the contribution of the new electricity generation and electricity and gas sale businesses and the international expansion in Mexico.
The distribution, by country, of revenue35 from ordinary activities ("Sales" and "Income from services rendered") in 2019 and 2018 is shown below:
| € Million | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Spain | 26,175 | 25,332 |
| United States | 3,052 | 3,095 |
| Peru | 2,846 | 2,941 |
| Portugal | 2,611 | 2,673 |
| Other | 14,644 | 15,832 |
| TOTAL (1)(2) | 49,328 | 49,873 |
(1) The distribution by geographical area has been drawn up based on the markets to which the sales or income relate.
(2) The distribution of the target markets is as follows: i) EU euro zone: €33,879 million (€33,514 million in 2018), ii) EU non-euro zone: €396 million (€1,066 million in 2018), and iii) Other countries: €15,053 million (€15,293 million in 2018).
This heading includes excise duties levied on hydrocarbon consumption amounting to €6,850 million and €6,295 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively.
In sales in which the Group acts as an agent, the Group only recognizes the net interest margin as revenue.
20.2) Other operating income
This heading reflects, inter alia, income recognized on the remeasurement of trade derivatives (see Note 10) and the reversal of provisions, taken to the income statement (see Note 15). It also includes operating grants amounting to €19 million and €20 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively.
34 For further information, see Appendix II.
35 Income is recognized based on compliance with performance obligations to customers. Income from ordinary activities represents the transfer of committed goods or services to customers for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for these goods and services. There are five distinct steps in income recognition: i) Identify the customer's contract(s), ii) Identify performance obligations, iii) Determine the transaction price, iv) Assign the transaction price to the different performance obligations, and v) Income recognition according to the fulfillment of each obligation. At December 31, there were no relevant performance obligations outstanding with customers.
20.3) Procurements
This heading includes the following items:
| € Million | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Purchases | 36,960 | 38,481 |

|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Provision for impairment of assets (Notes 11.3, 18, 21) | (5,746) | (1,241) |
| Income from the reversal of provisions for impairment (Note 21) | 424 | 175 |
| TOTAL | (5,322) | (1,066) |
In 2019, this relates mainly to provisions for the impairment of gas-producing assets in the US and Canada in the Upstream segment as a result of the new price paths assumed and the reversal in the Wholesaler and Trading Gas business in North America due to the expected change in margins, details of which are provided in Note 21. It also includes impairment losses on unsuccessful exploratory investments (see Note 3.4.2) amounting to €118 million, recognized in the normal course of operations (in addition to the annual calculation of the recoverable amount of the assets).
In 2019 and 2018 it also includes the provision for credit risk impairment of trade and other receivables and of other noncurrent assets, mainly in Venezuela, in the amount of €129 million and €300 million, respectively. For further information, see Notes 11.3 and 21.3.
20.5) Personnel expenses

Note 3 explains the Group's accounting policies in relation to exploration activity.
The geographical distribution of the costs taken to the income statement in respect of exploration activities (see Note 3) is as follows:
| € Million | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Europe | 134 | 213 |
| America | 143 | 143 |
| Africa | 111 | 146 |
| Asia | 403 | 108 |
| Oceania | 125 | 17 |
| TOTAL | 916 | 627 |
For more information, see the information on hydrocarbon exploration and production activities (non-audited information) at www.repsol.com.
20.7) Gains/(losses) on disposal of assets
No significant assets were disposed of in 2019 or 2018. These headings include translation differences recognized in the income statement for the abandonment of assets.
20.8) Transport and freights and other operating expenses
The higher costs under "Transport and freight" reflect the rise in prices for ship charters.
Moreover, "Other operating expenses" includes the following items:
| € Million | ||||

| Consumption of CO2 allowances (6) | 325 | 116 | ||
| Others (7) | 2,100 | 1,342 | ||
| TOTAL | 4,755 | 3,696 |
Note: In order to minimize transport costs and optimize the Group's logistics chain, oil product exchanges of a similar nature are carried out with other companies in different geographical locations. These transactions are not recognized in the income statement for the year as individual purchases and sales, but rather any economic differences are recognized at their net amount.
- (1) Includes, among other items, the cost of agency services at the facilities of Compañía Logística de Hidrocarburos CLH, S.A., product bottling, storage, loading, transportation and dispatch services.
- (2) In 2019, it included expenses for short-term and low-value leases (€127 million) and for variable payments (€43 million).
- (3) They correspond to taxes other than income tax (see Note 23). Taxes on hydrocarbon production in Upstream activities have been paid mainly in Libya, Algeria and Peru. The other taxes reflect mainly local taxes. For further information on taxes paid, please refer to section 6.7 of the Consolidated Management Report (www.repsol.com) and the report on payments to public authorities published by the Company, which is also available at www.repsol.com.
- (4) Relates to repair, upkeep and maintenance activities carried out mainly at the Group's industrial complexes.
- (5) Relates mainly to derivatives arranged in trading activities involving crude oil, gas, oil products and electricity (see Note 10).
(6) See Note 31.2.
(7) Includes, among others, the provisions (see Note 15). The increase in 2019 is explained, among others, by the provision to cover litigious risks (see Note 15).
The decrease in "Leases" in 2019 is due to the application of new criteria for recognizing rights of use arising from leases in accordance with IFRS 16; the expense relating to the leases affected is now reflected as amortization of rights of use and as a financial expense (see Notes 13 and 22).
"Consumption of CO2 allowances" increased as a result of the rise in prices for CO2 emission allowances and the inclusion of the Viesgo businesses (see Note 31.2).
(21) ASSET IMPAIRMENT
21.1) Asset impairment test
The Group has assessed the recoverable amount of its cash-generating units as per the methodology described in Note 3 and the scenarios consistent with its new vision of the market, the expected environment and the new strategic approach. The main assumptions are described below:
a) Price trend:
In 2019, medium- and long-term dynamics in the oil and gas markets have been consolidated, leading to revised expectations for crude oil prices and, especially, gas prices: in particular, the abundant gas production in North America associated with unconventional fields (shale gas, gas associated with tight oil), new gas discoveries in other parts of the world, new trends in the global gas markets (development of LNG projects and less demand, especially in China) and in the oil market (increase in production and world reserves despite OPEC's supply-restricting policies).
In addition, the general nature of the public policies and commitments aimed at the decarbonization of the economy and, therefore, at restricting the use of fossil fuels and the development of new alternative technologies that drive the energy transition and will mean a reduction in the demand for hydrocarbon products in the medium and long term should be noted. This will require companies to have a strategy in place to adapt to the energy transition that Repsol, following the analysis of its Board of Directors, has already begun by assuming decarbonization obligations that are in line with the climate change objectives of the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals36 .
It is against this new backdrop that the adaptation of the future crude oil and gas price forecasts for the 2019 impairment test must be understood:
| 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2030 | 2035 | Subsequent | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brent (\$/ barrel) | 65 | 69 | 70 | 71 | 72 | 74 | 81 | 87 | 87 |
| WTI | 59 | 65 | 67 | 68 | 69 | 71 | 78 | 84 | Brent -3 \$/bbl |
| HH (\$/ Mbtu) | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 5 | +2% |
| CO2 (\$/Tn) | 28 | 30 | 33 | 35 | 38 | 40 | 50 | 60 | (1) |
(1) Further growth to reach \$70/ton by 2040. The assumptions relate to the prices of emission allowances under the current EU ETS mechanism. Specific assumptions have been developed for other countries with emission allowances or CO2 taxes.
This new price trend for crude oil and gas is in line with the IEA's Sustainable Development scenarios (World Economic Outlook 2019, published in November 2019) -which has the most complete models and has carried out the most exhaustive work to develop scenarios that would allow a universal supply of clean and affordable energy compatible with the reduction in CO2 emissions required by COP21-, the main assumptions and conclusions of which regarding demand and supply dynamics coincide with those reached by Repsol as indicated above.

c) Impairment recognized
In 2019 provisions have been recognized for the impairment of the Group's assets in these balance sheet headings:
| € Million | Notes | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Goodwill | 12 and 21 | 868 |
| Other intangible assets (1) | 21 | 245 |
| Property, plant and equipment (1) | 21 | 3,955 |
| Investments accounted for using the equity method (2) | 14 and 21 | 396 |
| Onerous charges | 15 | 73 |
| Deferred tax assets | 23 | 574 |
(1) It does not include impairment losses on unsuccessful exploratory investments (see Note 3.4.2) amounting to €118 million, recognized in the normal course of operations (apart from the annual calculation of the recoverable amount of the assets).
(2) Net of tax.
Provisions, net of reversals, amounted to €6,111 million before tax (€4,867 million after tax); mainly corresponding to extraordinary write-offs arising from the impairment test at the end of the year under the new price scenarios and geopolitical environment described in the previous section (€4,849 million after tax).
Upstream assets
The Group has recognized net impairment losses, before tax, on its Upstream assets37 amounting to -€5,694 million, which mainly affect:
– North America (-€3,572 million)38: mainly in gas production assets in the US and Canada as a result of lower expected gas prices and the review of the business plans for the assets to respond to the new environment.
36 See Note 2.4 and section 2.4 in the 2019 Consolidated Management Report
37 This relates to the impairment losses recognized under "Goodwill", "Other intangible assets", "Property, plant and equipment" and "Investments accounted for using the equity method" before tax.
38In 2018, impairment losses in North America amounted to -€479 million as a result of reduced production volumes and lower prices.
- Latin America (-€414 million)39: mainly in Trinidad and Tobago as a result of lower gas prices, and in Colombia as a result of delays on the part of the operator in the development plans.
- Europe, Africa and Brazil (-€209 million): mainly in Spain due to expectations of reduced activity and in Algeria due to lower gas prices.
- Exploratory and development assets (-€786 million): mainly in Vietnam, Algeria and Papua New Guinea. The new price scenarios do not allow a favorable conclusion on the commercial viability of certain exploratory licenses and drilling capitalized, some of which are also subject to geopolitical uncertainties.
- Goodwill (-€793 million): associated with the business combination of ROGCI (see Note 12).
Also, deferred tax assets allocated to this segment were reduced by -€470 million (see Note 23).
The recoverable amount of the assets impaired during the period amounted to €11,663 million.
Downstream assets
An impairment loss before tax of €229 million (net of the provision for onerous charges) recognized for the Gas & Trading business in North America (mainly the Canaport regasification plant and the gas pipelines for transporting gas in North America) was reversed due to the expected changes in the net interest margins for gas.
Deferred tax assets have also been reduced by -€104 million (see Note 23).
In the rest of the Downstream segment, the new scenarios assumed, in the context of decarbonization and energy transition envisaged, consider an environment marked by a reduction in the demand for oil products and fuels and an increase in the expected cost of CO2 emissions. The quality of the assets and the capacity of the business models to adapt to the new strategic approach mean that, even in the new and demanding scenarios, no significant impairment losses were observed during the year.
21.2) Sensitivities
A change in the estimated future price curves and discount rates used would affect the amount of the impairment of the Repsol Group assets. The principal sensibilities to these variations without taking into account the rebalancing of other related variables or the possible adjustments of the operative plans, which would allow the negative impact of the above mentioned variations to be mitigated, are indicated in the table below:
| € Million | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Increase (+) / decrease (-) |
Operating income | Net income | ||
| Change in hydrocarbons prices and production (1) | +10% (prices / +5% (production) | 2,597 | 2,390 | |
| -10% (prices / -5% (production) | (3,261) | (2,978) | ||
| +5% | 108 | 82 | ||
| Changes in margins and volumes (2) | -5% | (761) | (570) | |
| +100 p.b. | (780) | (646) | ||
| Change in discount rate | -100 p.b. | 728 | 604 |
(1) Relates to the productive assets in the Upstream segment.
(2) Relates primarily to the industrial businesses in the Downstream segment.
21.3) Geopolitical risks40
Repsol is exposed to risks arising in countries that may present specific economic, social and political circumstances that may have a negative impact on its businesses (unexpected regulatory changes; highly volatile exchange rate; high inflation; possibility of economic and financial crises or political instability or social tensions and public unrest, etc.) and that may have a negative impact on its business.
According to the ratings in the Country Risk Rating of IHS Global Insight and the Country Risk Score of the Economist Group, the
39 In 2018, impairment losses in Latin America corresponded to assets in Venezuela (see Notes 14 and 21) due to the increase in discount rates as a result of changes in country risk indicators.
40 When assessing its assets for the impairment test, Repsol considers the geopolitical risks it is exposed to by estimating cash flows or calculating its discount rates.
Repsol Group is exposed to a particular geopolitical risk in Venezuela, Libya and Algeria. In addition, Vietnam has been added because the activities have been affected by the territorial conflict in the South China Seas.
Venezuela
Repsol's equity exposure41 in Venezuela at December 31, 2019 amounted to €239 million, which includes mainly the financing granted to its Venezuelan subsidiaries42,43(see Note 9). At December 31, 2018 this line item amounted to €456 million. This reduction is explained by trade payables, as well as the revaluation of the credit risk for expected loss relating to PDVSA's debts to Group entities (see Notes 11 and 16).
In 2019, the situation of political instability, economic recession (GDP44dropped by 40% in 2019) and inflation45 (7.374%46 in 2019 and it is expected to be 3,000% in 2020) continues and, therefore, the State of Economic Emergency has been extended. Oil production has declined significantly in recent years. There was a significant devaluation of the Venezuelan currency against the euro (€52,231/BsS compared to €730/BsS at December 31, 2018, the SIMECA exchange rate) with no significant impact on the Group's financial statements, since the functional currency of its subsidiaries in the country is the US dollar, except in the case of Quiriquire Gas47 (see Note 14).
In 2019 new sanctions were imposed against Venezuela. In particular, on January 28, 2019 the US extended the sanctions against PDVSA by including it on the "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List" ("SDN List"). In addition, on April 17, 2019, the United States also included the Central Bank of Venezuela on the SDN List. This implies a prohibition for "US Persons48" to transact with PDVSA, the Central Bank of Venezuela and/or any of its controlled companies (interest greater than or equal to 50%) and an obligation to block their assets. Finally, on August 5, 2019, the United States issued the Executive Order on Blocking Property of the Government of Venezuela, ordering US Persons to freeze all assets of the Government of Venezuela and of any entity owned, controlled or acting on behalf of the Government of Venezuela that are in their possession or within US territory. The US has granted certain time limits to facilitate the orderly termination of transactions by granting various general licenses. Repsol has adopted the measures necessary to continue its activity in Venezuela, including the periodic reception of crude oil in payment of debts, with full respect for international regulations regarding sanctions, and is constantly monitoring its development and, therefore, any possible effects it may have on the aforementioned activities. These updates have not had a significant impact on the Group.
On January 7, 2019, Presidential Decree No. 35 was published, establishing that taxpayers who carry out operations in foreign currency must determine and pay their taxes in foreign currency (or cryptocurrency), pending regulatory development. The regulation entered into force on January 1, 2019 and affects the determination and payment of all national taxes. The main impact recognized in 2018 was the cancellation of deferred tax assets in companies accounted for using the equity method. In the future, the Decree could simplify the determination of income tax and eliminate the negative impact on this tax as a result of from future devaluations.
The Group has assessed the recoverability of its investments and the credit risk on accounts receivable from PDVSA. As a result, the Group has recognized provisions for the credit profile of PDVSA and for the deterioration of the business environment in
41 Equity exposure relates to net consolidated assets exposed to own risks of the countries reported.
42 Repsol holds a loan with Cardón IV, which matures annually and that can be extended by the shareholders (Repsol and Eni), which has therefore been considered part of the net investment of this company.
43 In October 2016 Petroquiriquire, S.A., Repsol and PDVSA signed a range of agreements to shore up the financial structure of the mixed-ownership company and enable it to implement its Business Plan. The agreements involved (i) the provision by Repsol of a credit facility for up to \$1,200 million, backed by a guarantee given by PDVSA, to be used to pay past dividends owed to Repsol and for Petroquiriquire's capital and operating expenditures; and (ii) a commitment given by PDVSA to pay for hydrocarbon production of the mixed-ownership company via transfer to Petroquiriquire, S.A. of payments arising from crude oil sale contracts to offtakers or through outright cash payments in an amount sufficient for the mixed-ownership company to meet its capital and operating expenditures not covered by the financing from Repsol, and to pay Repsol's dividends generated in each financial year and its debt service obligations with Repsol. The financing granted by Repsol and the commitments assumed by PDVSA are governed by the Laws of the State of New York, and any disputes that should arise shall be submitted to arbitration in Paris in accordance with the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce. Drawdowns under the credit facility are subject to compliance by Petroquiriquire and PDVSA of certain conditions precedent, and the terms and conditions include the covenants, breach clauses and acceleration or early termination clauses that are customary in such transactions. Breach by PDVSA of its obligations under the guarantee, if there is a default by Petroquiriquire, could enable PDVSA's creditors and bondholders to declare default and acceleration of the rest of its financial debt. In addition, the agreement includes other elements such as a mechanism for offsetting of reciprocal debts between Petroquiriquire, S.A. and PDVSA. At December 31, 2019, drawdowns for this credit facility amounted to \$831 million.

Libya
Repsol's equity exposure in Libya as of December 31, 2019 amounts to about €327 million (including primarily property, plant and equipment at that date).
Repsol operates in Libya since the 1970s when it started exploring in the Sirte Basin. As of December 31, 2019, Repsol has acreage on two contractual areas (with exploration and production activities) located in the Murzuq basin in the Sahara desert and whose proved reserves amount to 77.3 million barrels of oil equivalent.
The uncertainty regarding Libya's political future continues following the clashes for control over Tripoli between General Hafter's Libyan National Army (LNA) and the forces loyal to the GNA (the official government established in Tripoli and backed by the United Nations. The deterioration in the security situation continues to affect the prospects of its oil industry, though the country has recovered part of its oil production and exports.
As a consequence of the security conditions, during 2019 there have been intermittent shutdowns of production in Libya. Repsol's net crude oil production in 2019 amounted to 29 thousand barrels of oil per day (vs. 35.7 thousand barrels of oil per day during the same period in 2018). Shutdowns in production continues in 2020.
Algeria
Repsol's equity exposure in Argelia at December 31, 2019 amounted to about €673 million (including mainly property, plant and equipment at that date). This was lower than at December 31, 2018 after the impairment recognized in profit and loss (see Note 21.1).
In Algeria, Repsol has three blocks in the production/development phase (Reggane Nord, block 405a (with the MLN, EMK and Ourhoud licenses) and Tin Fouyé Tabankort (TFT)). It also had a block in the exploration phase (S.E. Illizi), the license for which ended on December 31, 2019.
Net average production in Argelia in 2019 came to 31.5 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (21.4 kboe in 2018) from Reggane Nord, block 405a and TFT.
The estimated net proved reserves at December 31, 2019 amount to 49.6 million barrels of oil equivalent. Around 34% of the net proved reserves refer to the gas production project at Reggane, which is located in the Algerian Sahara in the Reggane basin. Repsol holds a 29,25% interest in the consortium that is to develop the project, alongside the Algerian state-owned company Sonatrach (40%), Germany's RWE Dea AG (19.5%), and Italy's Edison (11.25%). The net production of the Reggane project in 2019 amounted to 8.2 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day.
The social protests that began on February 22, 2019 led to the resignation of President Abdelaziz Buteflika. Given the peaceful nature of most of these protests so far, they are not expected to have a significant impact at the operational level on the activities of the Oil & Gas industry, beyond a slowdown in the decision-making process, as a result of the current transition period and the institutional reorganization that is taking place following the elections called for December 12, 2019, the winner of which was former Prime Minister Abdelmayid Tebune.
Vietnam
Repsol owns mining rights in Vietnam on thirteen blocks, distributed in six production-sharing contracts (PSC): one in production over a net area of 152 km2 , (Thang Long JOC), one under development over 1,236 km2 (Ca Rong Do) and four in the exploration phase, over a net surface area of 72,248 km2 (among them blocks 135-136/03). Net average production in 2019 came to 5 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (6.5 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2018). Net proved reserves at December 31, 2019 amounted to 1.9 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. Equity exposure of Repsol in Vietnam at December 31, 2019 amounts to about €602 million, down from €951 million in 2018, following the impairment loss recognized in the income statement (see Notes 16 and 21.1).
In March 22, 2018 Repsol received instructions from PetroVietnam to refrain, for the time being, from performing the programmed activities as part of the Ca Rong Do development project, located in the South China Sea. Furthermore, in July
49 Recognized under "Provision for/(Reversal of) provisions for impairment" (see Note 20.4) and "Impairment of financial instruments" (see Note 21) in the income statement.
2017, PetroVietnam instructed Repsol to stop CKN-1X drilling activities in exploratory blocks 135-136/03, also located in the South China Sea. The duration of the suspension of activity has yet to be determined, and the Group is working with PetroVietnam to find actions that can be taken to satisfy the interests of both parties, allowing them to reach an amicable solution to the conflict. Repsol has initiated an arbitration process in defense of its rights and considers that it has solid legal grounds to claim compensation for the damages that could arise from this situation, as well as good prospects of success, both in the claim and in the recovery of the damages.
BREXIT
In the referendum held on June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom approved its exit from the European Union. After the absolute majority victory of the conservative party in the elections on December 12, 2019, Parliament voted in favor of the draft bill of the withdrawal agreement, which was finally approved. The UK left the EU on January 31, 2020. The exit from the EU is the first step in a process that will last from one to three years, during which the new government will have to try to reach a new trade agreement with the EU.
The European Union Emission Trade System (EU ETS)50 is being affected by BREXIT, due to the fact that the European Commission decided to suspend any free allocation of benefits involving the United Kingdom. The economic impact of this is still unknown.
With regard to the extraction, transport and sale of hydrocarbons, no substantial changes are expected, as the British government has always had sovereignty and control over the key aspects for the sector, such as the licensing of mineral concessions and the tax framework for the activities of oil companies. The messages received by the sector during the Brexit process is one of regulatory stability.
The Group's exposure in the United Kingdom is limited mainly to its interest in Repsol Sinopec Resources UK Limited (RSRUK), which operates a mature business engaging in hydrocarbon exploration and production activities and whose functional currency is the US dollar, meaning that even under the most extreme Brexit scenarios no significant risks have been detected.
(22) FINANCIAL RESULT
The financial result has worsened mainly due to the comparison with the significant gains obtained in 2018 from specific positions in US dollars in a context of favorable developments in the exchange rate, mitigated by lower impairment losses on financial instruments in 2019 (in 2018 financial assets exposed to risks in Venezuela were impaired).
The breakdown of financial income and expenses in 2019 and 2018 is as follows:
| € Million | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Financial income (1) | 148 | 177 |
| Financial expenses | (391) | (407) |
| Net interest | (243) | (230) |
| By interest rate | 59 | 40 |
| By exchange rate | 98 | 87 |
| Other positions | 59 | 73 |
| Change in fair value of financial instruments (2) | 216 | 200 |
| Exchange gains/(losses) (3) | (27) | 467 |
| Impairment of financial instruments (4) | 6 | (370) |
| Adjustment for provision discounting | (105) | (94) |
| Interim interest | 78 | 72 |
| Lease liabilities | (185) | (133) |
| Gains/(losses) on disposal of financial instruments | — | (10) |
| Others | (41) | (75) |
| Other financial income and expenses | (253) | (240) |
| FINANCIAL RESULT | (301) | (173) |
(1) Includes interest income from financial instruments valued at amortized cost in the amount of €146 million (€176 million in 2018).
(2) Includes the results from the valuation and settlement of derivative financial instruments (see Note 10). "Other provisions" includes the results from the settlement of derivatives on treasury shares (see Note 7.2).
(3) Includes the exchange gains and losses generated by the valuation and settlement of monetary items in foreign currency. The improvement compared to 2018 is explained by exchange differences arising from the impact of changes in the exchange rate of the dollar in the period on financing instruments.
(4) In 2018 this includes mainly impairment losses on financing granted to entities accounted for using the equity method in Venezuela and other related accounts receivable (see Note 21.3).
50 Under the multilateral trading system for greenhouse gas emissions, each Member State has a National Emission Allowance Allocation Plan that specifies a basket of greenhouse gas emissions, so that in order to comply with the Plan, companies can reduce their emissions by adjusting to the allowances allocated free of charge or turning to the market to cover their deficit.
(23) TAXES
23.1) Applicable taxes
With regard to taxation and, particularly, income tax, the Repsol Group is subject to the legislation of several tax jurisdictions due to the broad geographic mix and the relevant international nature of the business activities carried out by the companies comprising the Group.
For this reason, the Repsol Group's effective tax rate is shaped by the breakdown of earnings obtained in each of the countries where it operates and, on occasion, by the taxation of said profits in more than one country (double taxation).
a) In Spain
Most of the entities resident in Spain for tax purposes are subject to taxation under Spain's consolidated tax regime. Under this regime, the companies comprising the tax group jointly determine the Group's taxable profit and tax liability, which is then allocated to these companies following the criteria established by the ICAC (acronym in Spanish for the Audit and Accounting Institute) in relation to the recognition and determination of individual corporate tax liabilities.
Repsol, S.A. is the parent of Consolidated Tax Group 6/80, which comprises all of the companies resident in Spain that are at least 75%-owned, directly or indirectly, by the parent and that meet certain prerequisites. The aforementioned Consolidated Tax Group was composed of 65 companies in 2019, the most significant of which are: Repsol, S.A., Repsol Petróleo, S.A., Repsol Trading, S.A., Repsol Química, S.A., Repsol Butano, S.A., Repsol Exploración, S.A., Repsol Comercial de Productos Petrolíferos, S.A. and Repsol Electricidad y Gas, S.A.
Elsewhere, Petróleos del Norte, S.A. (Petronor) is the parent of Consolidated Tax Group 02/01/B, to which the special regional tax regulations of Vizcaya for corporate income tax purposes is applied.
The rest of the companies resident in Spain for tax purposes that are not included in either of the above tax groups determine their income tax individually.
The Spanish companies have been taxed at the general rate of 25% in 2019, regardless of whether they pay tax as part of a tax group or individually. Exceptionally, Repsol Investigaciones Petrolíferas, S.A., which files its taxes on an individual basis under the special hydrocarbon regime, is taxed at 30%, and the Petronor group, which applies the regime of Vizcaya, is taxed at 24%.
b) Other countries
The rest of the Group companies are subject to taxation in each of the countries in which they do business, applying the prevailing income tax rate under applicable local tax regulations. Group companies in some countries are also subject to a levy on minimum presumptive income in addition to income tax.
In turn, the Group companies resident in Spain that conduct some of their business in other countries are also subject to prevailing income tax in those countries in respect of the profits generated outside Spain. This is the case, for example, with the permanent establishments of the Spanish companies that carry out hydrocarbon exploration and production activities in other countries (including Libya, Algeria, Peru and Ecuador).
Below is a list of the statutory income tax rates applicable in the Group's main tax jurisdictions:
| Country | Tax rate | Country | Tax rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Algeria (1) | 38% | Norway | 78% |
| Bolivia | 25% | The Netherlands | 25% |
| Canada (2) | 27% | Peru | 29,5% |
| Colombia | 33% | Portugal | 22,5% - 31,5% |
| Ecuador | 22% | United Kingdom | 40% |
| United States (3) | 21% | Singapore | 17% |
| Indonesia | 32,5% - 48% | Trinidad and Tobago | 55% - 57,2% |
| Libya | 65% | Venezuela | 34% (Gas) and 50% (Oil) |
| Malaysia | 38% | Vietnam | 32% - 50% |
(1) Plus tax on exceptional profits (TPE).
(2) Federal and provincial rate.
(3) Does not include state taxes.
23.2) Accrued income tax expense
The table below shows how the income tax expense accrued for accounting purposes in 2019 and 2018 was calculated:
| € Million | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Current tax for the year | (948) | (1,028) |
| Adjustments to current tax (1) | (184) | (178) |
| Current income tax (a) | (1,132) | (1,206) |
| Deferred tax for the year | 979 | (135) |
| Adjustments to deferred tax (2) | (435) | (45) |
| Deferred income tax (b) | 544 | (180) |
| Income tax (expense)/income(a+b) | (588) | (1,386) |
(1) Includes changes in tax provisions amounting to -€85 million and other current tax adjustments amounting to -€99 million.
(2) Includes the derecognition of deferred tax assets amounting to -€574 million and other deferred tax adjustments amounting to €139 million.
The reconciliation of "Income tax expense" recognised and the expense that would result from the application of the nominal tax rate existing in the country of the parent company (Spain) to the net income before tax and investees is as follows:
| € Million | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Net income before tax | (3,201) | 3,333 |
| Net income from investments accounted for using the equity method | 351 | 1,053 |
| Net income before tax and before considering the net income of companies accounted for using the equity | (3,552) | 2,280 |
| General nominal income tax rate in Spain | 25 % | 25 % |
| Income tax (expense)/income at the generat nominal income tax rate in Spain | 888 | (570) |

| Income tax risk provisions | (85) | (214) |
| Other items | (33) | (114) |
| Income tax (expense)/income | (588) | (1,386) |
(1) Includes mechanisms to prevent international and internal double taxation, whether in the form of exemptions, tax relief and tax credits.
(2) Corresponds mainly to accounting provisions that are not tax deductible (in 2019 the most noteworthy were those for impairment of assets recognized described in Note 21).
(3) Mainly relates to tax credits in Spain for capitalization, R&D and other.
(4) Includes the derecognition of deferred tax assets (€574 million in 2019) that have not passed the recoverability test in the new scenarios of lower oil and gas prices used in calculating the recoverable amount of the assets (see Note 23.3).
23.3) Deferred taxes
The Group presents deferred tax assets and liabilities on a net basis in the same taxable entity. The breakdown of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities by underlying concept recognized in the accompanying balance sheet is shown below:
| € Million | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Losses, tax credits and similar benefits not yet used | 3,193 | 3,671 |
| Amortization differences for tax and accounting purposes | (1,648) | (2,688) |
| Provisions for decommissioning fields (non-deductible) | 617 | 712 |
| Staff and other non-deductible provisions | 555 | 593 |
| Other deferred taxes | 507 | 575 |
| Total deferred tax | 3,224 | 2,863 |
| Provisions for contingencies related to income tax(1) | (1,549) | (1,307) |
| Net deferred tax and other taxes | 1,675 | 1,556 |
(1) The changes in provisions for contingencies related to income tax is as follows: (i) provisions/reversals charged to profit or loss, -€85 million; (ii) first-time application of IFRIC 23, -€79 million (see Note 3.2.1); (iii) reclassifications, €82 million; and (iv) translation and other differences, €4 million.
The tax assets recognized corresponding to tax losses and tax loss carryforwards amount to €3,193 million and correspond mainly to:
| Country | € Million | Legal expiry | Estimated recoverability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spain | 1,555 | No time limit | In less than 10 years |
| United States | 1,042 | 20 years | Mostly in 10 years |
| Canada | 326 | 20 years | Mostly in 10 years |
| Other | 270 | - | - |
| Total | 3,193 |
Below is a breakdown of changes in deferred tax:
| € Million | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Opening balance for the year | 2,863 | 3,006 |
| Impact of the new standards (Note 3.2.1) | 13 | 91 |
| Adjusted opening balance | 2,876 | 3,097 |
| Income (expense) in income statement | 550 | (190) |
| Income (expense) in equity | (7) | 20 |
| Translation differences or balances in foreign currency | (41) | 39 |
| Other items | (154) | (103) |
| Balance at year end | 3,224 | 2,863 |
The Repsol Group only recognizes deferred tax assets insofar as it is deemed probable that the entities (individually or on a consolidated basis) that have generated them will have sufficient taxable income in the future against which they can be utilized.
At each reporting date, the recognized deferred tax assets are reassessed to verify that they still qualify for recognition and they are considered to be recoverable in the future, and the appropriate adjustments are made on the basis of the outcome of the analyses performed. These analyses are based on: (i) the construction of assumptions to analyze the existence or otherwise of sufficient earnings for tax purposes that might offset such tax losses based on the approach used to ascertain the presence of indications of impairment in its assets (see Note 3); (ii) the assessment of earnings estimates for each entity or tax group in accordance with their individual business plans and the Group's overall strategic plan; and (iii) the statute of limitations period and other utilization limits imposed under prevailing legislation in each country for the recovery of the tax credits.
In this regard, in 2019 the new scenarios of lower crude oil and gas prices determined for the asset impairment test made it difficult to justify the full recovery in the short/medium term of certain deferred tax assets associated with the impaired assets in North America (see Note 21) and, therefore, the Group has reduced the deferred tax assets recognized by €574 million.
The Group has deferred tax assets not recognized of €3,885 million and €3,390 million at 2019 and 2018 , respectively.
The Group has deferred tax liabilities not recognized of €95 million and €94 million at year-end 2019 and 2018, respectively. This mainly relates to taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and permanent establishments that qualify for the exemption provided for under IFRS.
23.4) Government and legal proceedings with tax implications
In accordance with prevailing tax legislation, tax returns cannot be considered final until they have been inspected by the tax authorities or until the inspection period in each tax jurisdiction has elapsed.
The years for which the Group companies have their tax returns open to inspection in respect of the main applicable taxes are as follows:
| Country | Years | Country | Years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Algeria | 2014 - 2018 | Malaysia | 2014 - 2018 |
| Australia | 2014 - 2018 | Norway | 2016 - 2018 |
| Bolivia | 2013 - 2018 | The Netherlands | 2017 - 2018 |
| Canada | 2013 - 2018 | Papua New Guinea | 2015 - 2018 |
| Colombia | 2013 - 2018 | Peru | 2014 - 2018 |
| Ecuador | 2015 - 2018 | Portugal | 2015 - 2018 |
| Spain | 2015 - 2018 | United Kingdom | 2012 - 2018 |
| United States | 2015 - 2018 | Singapore | 2014 - 2018 |
| Indonesia | 2013 - 2018 | Trinidad and Tobago | 2014 - 2018 |
| Libya | 2011 - 2018 | Venezuela | 2012 - 2018 |
Whenever discrepancies arise between Repsol and the tax authorities with respect to the tax treatment applicable to certain operations, the Group acts with the authorities in a transparent and cooperative manner in order to resolve the resulting controversy, using the legal avenues available with a view to reaching non-litigious solutions. However, in this fiscal year, as in prior years, there are administrative and legal proceedings with tax implications that might be adverse to the Group's interest and that have given rise to litigious situations that could result in contingent tax liabilities. Repsol believes that it has acted lawfully in handling the foregoing matters and that its defense arguments are underpinned by reasonable interpretations of prevailing legislation, to which end it has lodged appeals as necessary to defend the interests of the Group and its shareholders.
It is difficult to predict when these tax proceedings will be resolved due to the extensive appeals process. Based on the advice received from in-house and external tax experts, the Company believes that the tax liabilities that may ultimately derive from these proceedings will not have a significant impact on the accompanying Financial Statements.
As a general rule, the Group recognizes provisions for tax-related proceedings that it deems it is likely to lose and does not recognize provisions when the risk of losing the case is considered possible or remote. The amounts to be provisioned are calculated on the basis of the best estimate (see Note 3) of the amount needed to settle the lawsuit in question, underpinned, among others, by a case-by-case analysis of the facts, the legal opinions of its in-house and external advisors and prior experience in these matters.
In view of the uncertainty generated by the materialization of existing tax risks associated with litigation and other tax contingencies, the Group has recognized provisions that are considered adequate to cover the aforementioned risks. At December 31, 2019, the Group recognized €1,549 million relating to uncertain income tax positions (€1,390 million at December 31, 2018). In addition, it recognized other tax provisions amounting to €131 million (€83 million at December 31, 2018), which are presented under "Other provisions" in Note 15.
At December 31, the main tax-related proceedings concerning the Repsol Group were as follows:
Bolivia
YPFB Andina, S.A. is involved in a lawsuit regarding the deductibility of royalty payments and hydrocarbon shares from the Company's income tax. This lawsuit is currently awaiting a ruling at second instance. The Company believes, despite the ruling handed down at first instance in 2019, that its position is expressly supported by law.
Brazil
Petrobras, as operator of the Albacora Leste, BMS 7, BMES 21 and BMS 9 consortia (in which Repsol has a 10%, 37%, 11% and 25% interest, respectively) received tax assessments (IRRF, CIDE and PIS/COFINS) and for 2008 to 2012, in connection with payments to foreign companies for charter contracts for exploration platforms and related services used in the blocks. All of the proceedings have been appealed and are either in the administrative (2009-2012) or judicial review process.
Likewise, Repsol Sinopec Brasil received notification of assessments for the same items and taxes (2009 and 2011), in connection with payments to foreign companies for contracts for exploration charters and related services used in blocks BMS 48, BMS 55, BMES 29 and BMC 33, in which Repsol Sinopec Brasil is the operator. The assessments have been appealed either through the administrative review process (2011) or judicial review process at first instance (2009). The Company considers that its actions are in accordance with the law and are in line with general practice in the sector.
These lawsuits are currently limited to CIDE and PIS/COFINS, after the company availed itself of a program authorized by Law 13,586/17, which made it possible to reduce the amount in dispute regarding personal income tax (IRRF) through the retroactive application of the price determination percentages (split) contained in this Law, abandoning the lawsuits in progress and without any penalties being applicable.
Canada
The Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) periodically reviews the tax situation of the companies of Repsol Oil&Gas Canada Inc. (ROGCI, formerly Talisman Group, acquired by Repsol in 2015) resident in Canada. In recent years, and by applying good tax practices, Repsol has obtained a rating for ROGCI as a low-risk taxpayer, which has allowed it to reach agreements with the CRA to resolve existing disputes and avoid uncertain disputes. International operations from 2010 to 2016 and corporate income tax for 2015 and 2016 are currently being reviewed.
Spain
Proceedings relating to the following corporate income tax years are still open.
– Financial years 2006 to 2009. The matters discussed relate mainly to transfer prices, deduction of losses for investments abroad and deductions for investments, the majority of them as a result in changes in the criteria maintained by the Administration in previous actions. In relation to the transfer price adjustments, the settlements have been annulled as a consequence of the resolution of a dispute by the Arbitration Board of the Economic Agreement with the Basque Country, the resolution of an amicable procedure with the US and two ruling handed down by the Central Economic Administrative Tribunal; which is why the inspection authorities must issue new assessments applying the criteria already accepted in subsequent years by the Administration and the taxpayer. In relation to the other matters, the Central Economic Administrative Court partially upheld the company's appeal, and the Company has appealed to the National High Court for the aspects that were not upheld (tax incentives for R&D, deduction of losses on overseas business), as the Company believes it has acted within the law.
- Financial years 2010 to 2013. The actions were concluded in 2017 without any penalties being imposed and, for the large part, by means of assessments signed on an uncontested basis or agreements from which no significant liabilities have arisen for the Group. However, with regards to two issues (deductibility of interest for the late payment of taxes and the deduction of losses on overseas business,) the administrative decision has been subject to appeal, as the Company believes it has acted within the law. Currently, the claims are still in the administrative review process, and a ruling has yet to be handed down by the Central Economic Administrative Tribunal.
- Financial years 2014 to 2016. The audit ended in December 2019 without the imposition of any penalty and, for the most part, with assessments signed on an uncontested basis or agreements that did not generate significant liabilities for the Group. However, there are still disputes regarding the deduction of losses for foreign investments and the corresponding claim has been filed against the administrative ruling, since the Company believes that its actions have been in accordance with the law.
Indonesia
The Indonesian tax authorities have been questioning various aspects regarding the taxation of the profits of the permanent establishments that the Group has in the country, in particular with regard to the application of the reduced rate of the double taxation treaties signed by Indonesia. The company considers that its actions are in line with general practice in the sector and are in accordance with the law and, therefore, the disputes on which the aforementioned actions are based are being appealed through administrative proceedings or a ruling has yet to be handed down by the courts.
Malaysia
Repsol Oil & Gas Malaysia Ltd. and Repsol Oil & Gas Malaysia (PM3) Ltd., the Group's operating subsidiaries in Malaysia, have received notifications from the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) with regard to 2007, 2008 and 2011 questioning the deductibility of certain costs. The aforementioned actions have resulted in a reconciliation agreement ratified by the tax court, under which Repsol subsidiaries have received a refund of the taxes initially retained by the IRB. In addition, these entities received an assessment from the IRB for 2014 questioning the deductibility of certain expenses. The assessments were appealed in January 2020 as the Company considered that its actions were in accordance with the law.
The Company does not expect any additional liabilities to arise that could have a significant impact on the Group's profit as a result of the above proceedings.
(24) NET INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In 2018, "Net income from discontinued operations", net of taxes, included the results of the disposal of the holding in Naturgy (€344 million), as well as the profit generated by Naturgy until February 22, 2018, when it was reclassified as held for sale, for an amount of €68 million.
(25) EARNINGS PER SHARE
The earnings per share at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are detailed below:
| 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|
| (3,816) | 2,341 |
| (29) | (29) |
| 1,548 | 1,671 |
| (2.48) | 1.38 |
(1) In 2018 it includes the net income attributed to the parent company corresponding to discontinued operations amounting to €412 million, equal to an EPS of €0.26 per share.
(2) The outstanding share capital at December 31, 2018 came to 1,527,396,053 shares, although the average weighted number of shares outstanding for the purposes of calculating earnings per share on said date includes the effect of capital increases undertaken as part of the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" shareholder remuneration program, as per the applicable accounts regulations (see Note 3.2.2).
CASH FLOWS
(26) CASH FLOWS51
26.1) Cash flow from operating activities
During 2019 the net cash flow from operating activities amounted to €4,849 million, which represents an increase of 6% with respect to 2018. Part of this improvement is explained by the positive impact of the application of IFRS 16 (see Note 3.2.1), since in 2019 lease expenses are reflected in the income statement as amortization and financial expenses in the cash flows of the corresponding payments as cash flows from financing activities.
The breakdown of "Cash flows from operating activities" in the statement of cash flows is as follows:
| € Million | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Notes | 2019 | 2018 | ||
| Net income before tax | (3,201) | 3,333 | ||
| Adjusted result: | 8,632 | 2,360 | ||
| Amortization of non-current assets | 3, 12 and 13 | 2,434 | 2,140 | |
| Operating provisions | 11.3, 15 and 21 | 6,600 | 1,235 | |
| Net income from the disposal of assets | 5 and 21 | (147) | (62) | |
| Financial result | 22 | 301 | 173 | |
| Share of results of companies accounted for using the equity method, net of taxes | 14 | (351) | (1,053) | |
| Other adjustments (net) | (205) | (73) | ||
| Changes in working capital: | 137 | (389) | ||
| Increase/Decrease in accounts receivable | 18 | 276 | 119 | |
| Increase/Decrease in inventories | 17 | (182) | (531) | |
| Increase/Decrease in accounts payable | 19 | 43 | 23 | |
| Other cash flows from operating activities: | (719) | (725) | ||
| Dividends received | 464 | 472 | ||
| Income tax refunded/(paid) (1) | (975) | (762) | ||
| Other proceeds from/(payments for) operating activities (2) | (208) | (435) | ||
| Cash flows from operating activities | 4,849 | 4,579 |
(1) In 2019, the tax payments in Spain (installment payments for tax group 6/80), Libya and Indonesia are noteworthy of mention. For further information on the Group's tax contribution, see section 6.6 of the 2019 Consolidated Management Report.
(2) Includes mainly payments for the application of provisions (see Note 15).
26.2) Cash flows from investing activities
During 2019 the net cash flow from investing activities resulted in the net payment of €4,407 million.
"Payments for/proceeds from investments in Group and associates" amount to -€90 million.
"Payments for/proceeds from investments in property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and property investments" came to -€3,094 million and primarily corresponds to investments in the Upstream segment in North America (which include the acquisition of a 63% interest in the assets of Eagle Ford, see Note 5), Norway and in the Exploration segment, and in the Downstream segment, those investments made for the upgrading and maintenance of the industrial complexes, Refining and Chemical businesses, as well as the undertakings for the international expansion of the commercial businesses in Mexico (service stations in the Mobility business) and Indonesia (acquisition of 40% of United Oil Company) and in the renewable projects in Spain. For additional information, see sections 4.1, 5.1 and 5.2 of the Consolidated Management Report.
"Payments for/proceeds from investments in other financial assets" came to -€1,311 million, corresponding to the arrangement of deposits and the changes in loans extended to joint ventures.
51 In accordance with the presentation options allowed in IAS 7 Statement of cash flows, the Group uses the so-called "indirect method" to disclose its operating cash flows. Under this method, the statement of cash flows starts with "Net income before tax" for the year, as per the income statement; this figure is then adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments, and items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows.
26.3) Cash flows from financing activities
In 2019 the net cash flow from financing activities resulted in the net payment of €2,289 million, which represents a decrease of 25% with respect to 2018. The lower net payments for financial liability instruments with respect to 2018 (issue of a bond of €750 million in 2019 - none in 2018 - and higher bond maturities and early redemptions in 2018) and the lower average cost and volume of debt were partially offset by greater treasury share purchases and shareholder remuneration (see Note 7) and by the impact of lease payments and interest under IFRS 16 (see Note 3.2.1), payments previously recognized in cash flows from operating activities.

| TOTAL | 5,852 | 2,100 | 1,577 | 1,599 | 1,672 | 20,752 | 33,552 |
Note: Commitments consist of future unconditional obligations (non-cancellable, or cancellable only under certain circumstances), as a result of commercial agreements. These commitments were quantified using Repsol's best estimates, and, if fixed total amounts were not stipulated, price estimates and other variables that are consistent with those considered for calculating the recoverable amount of the assets (see Notes 3 and 21).
(1) Mainly includes the commitments for the purchase of products needed to operate the Group's refineries in Spain and the commitments assumed under crude oil purchase contracts with the Pemex Group (open-ended), with the Saudi Arabian Oil Company (renewed annually) and with the Repsol Sinopec Brasil Group (expires 2020) and with Overseas Petroleum and Investment Corporation (expires in 2020).

27.2) Guarantees
At December 31, 2019 the most significant guarantees to third parties or companies whose assets, liabilities and earnings are not presented in the consolidated financial statements (joint ventures and associates) are as follows:
– For the rental of three floating production platforms for the development of the BMS 9 field in Brazil:
- A guarantee for \$514 million corresponding to 100% of RSB's interest (see Note 14) in Guara B.V., for which Repsol holds a counter guarantee from China Petrochemical Corporation in respect of the latter's 40% interest in RSB.
- Two additional guarantees of \$462 million and \$428 million, corresponding to the 15% interest held indirectly by the Group in Guará B.V.
The guaranteed amounts are reduced annually during the contracts' term of 20 years.
– For 51% of the guarantees for the decommissioning of RSRUK in the North Sea, for £579 million.
In addition, in line with general industry practice, the Group grants guarantees and commitments to compensate for obligations arising in the course of ordinary activities52, and for any liabilities arising from its activities, including environmental liabilities53 and for the sale of assets54 .
The guarantees cannot be considered a definite outflow of resources to third parties, as the majority of these guarantees will mature without any payment obligation arising. At the date of issue of these consolidated financial statements, the probability of a breach that would trigger a liability for these commitments to any material extent is remote.
(28) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Repsol carries out transactions with related parties on an arm's length basis. The transactions performed by Repsol, S.A. with its Group companies and those performed by the Group companies among themselves form part of the Company's ordinary course of business in terms of their purpose and conditions.
For the purposes of presenting this information, the following are considered to be related parties:

52 Guarantees granted in the ordinary course of business correspond to a limited number of guarantees totaling €24 million. Environmental guarantees are provided in the normal course of hydrocarbon exploration and production activity, where the probability of occurrence of the covered contingencies is remote, and the related amounts cannot be determined. In Venezuela an undetermined guarantee has been granted to Cardón IV to cover the commitment to supply gas to Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) until 2036. However, PDVSA has provided a guarantee to Cardón IV to cover collection rights for the supply commitment. The Group has also provided a guarantee to the Republic of Venezuela to cover the obligations assumed in the development of gas assets in the country.
53 Environmental guarantees are arranged in the normal course of hydrocarbon exploration and production operations, however, the probability of occurrence of the contingencies covered is remote and their amounts indeterminable.
54 Outstanding guarantees for asset sales, granted in accordance with general industry practice, are immaterial. Of recent note are those granted in the sale of LNG assets to Shell in 2015.

(29) PERSONNEL OBLIGATIONS
29.1) Defined contribution pension plans
Repsol has defined mixed modality plans for certain employees in Spain, which conform to current legislation. Specifically, this refers to pension plans with defined contributions for retirement and defined contributions in the event of full or absolute permanent disability, comprehensive disability and death. In the event of full or absolute permanent disability, comprehensive disability and death, pension plans have life insurance policies with an external entity. Additionally, outside Spain, certain Group companies have a defined contribution pension plans for their employees.
The annual cost charged to "Personnel expenses" in the income statement in relation to the defined contribution pension plans detailed above amounted to €54 million in 2019 and €56 million in 2018.
Executives of the Repsol Group in Spain are beneficiaries of an executive pension plan that complements the standard pension plan denominated "Plan de previsión de Directivos" (Executive welfare plan) which covers the participant's retirement, and their full or absolute permanent disability, comprehensive disability and death. Repsol makes defined contributions based on a percentage of participants' salaries. The plan guarantees a fixed return equal to 125% the National Consumer Price Index for the previous year. The plan is instrumented through collective insurances that cover pension obligations, underwritten by an insurance company. Premiums paid under these policies finance and externalize the Group's commitments in respect of contributions, as well as the fixed return mentioned above.
The cost of this plan recognized under "Personnel expenses" in the income statement in 2019 and 2018 amounted to €10 million and €12 million, respectively.
29.2) Defined benefit pension plans
Repsol has arranged defined benefit pension plans for certain groups of employees. The amount charged to the Group's income statement in 2019 and 2018 was €11 million and €5 million, respectively, while the related balance sheet provision at year-end 2019 and 2018 stood at €82 million and €64 million, respectively (see Note 15).
29.3) Long-term variable remuneration
The Company has implemented a loyalty building program aimed at senior executives and other persons occupying positions of responsibility in the Group, consisting of long-term incentives as part of their benefit package. The purpose of this program is to strengthen the identification of executives and managers with shareholders' interests, based on the sustainability of the Company's medium and long-term earnings as well as compliance with the Strategic Plan, while at the same time facilitating the retention by the Group of key personnel.
At year end, the 2016-2019, 2017-2020, 2018-2021 and 2019-2022 long-term incentive plans were in force. The 2015-2018 plan was closed, as originally stipulated, on December 31, 2018 and its beneficiaries received their bonuses in 2019.
The four long-term incentive plans in effect are independent of each other but their main characteristics are the same. Fulfillment of the respective objectives tied to each plan entitles the beneficiaries of each plan to receive an incentive in the first four months of the year following the last year of the plan. However, receipt of this incentive payment is tied to the beneficiary remaining in the Group's employ until December 31 of the last year of the plan, except in the special cases envisaged in the terms and conditions of the related plan.
If the incentive is to be received, a first variable coefficient is applied to the amount determined at the time the long-term incentive is granted, on the basis of the extent to which the objectives set are achieved, and then a second variable coefficient is applied linked to the arithmetic mean of the individual performance evaluation obtained by the beneficiary in the years included in the measurement period of each incentive plan, calculated as the percentage of individual variable annual remuneration obtained with respect to 100% of the established target.
None of the plans involve the delivery of shares or options to their beneficiaries, with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer, who is partially paid in shares. In this regard, the amount of the 2016-2019 Long-Term Incentive will be paid to the Chief Executive Officer in a proportion of 70% in cash and the remaining 30% in Company shares, so that he will receive €948,484 in cash and 14,743 Company shares equal to €187,438.
In accordance with the provisions of the current Director Remuneration Policy, the final number of shares to be delivered to the Chief Executive Officer is calculated taking into account: (i) the amount that is effectively payable following application of the corresponding taxes (or withholdings); and (ii) the weighted average for the daily volume of average weighted Repsol share prices in the fifteen trading sessions before the Friday of the week preceding the date on which the Board of Directors agrees to pay the long-term incentive for the Chief Executive Officer in each of the Plans.
To reflect the commitments assumed under these incentive plans, the Group recognized a provision charge of €20 million and €31 million in the 2019 and 2018 income statement, respectively. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group had recognized provisions totaling €67 million and €70 million, respectively, to fulfill all the plans described above.
In 2020, the Company plans to implement a new Long-Term Incentive Plan, the main difference of which with the previous Plans is based on the right to receive a "cash incentive" and a certain number of "performance shares" that will give the right to receive Repsol, S.A. shares, after the measurement period of the Plan has elapsed and subject to the performance of certain metrics. This new LIP is in line with regulations, corporate governance recommendations and best market practices.
29.4) Share Purchase Plans for Beneficiaries of Long-Term Incentive and Share Acquisition Plans
i.) "Share Purchase Plan for Beneficiaries of the Long-Term Incentive Plans"
This Plan allows its beneficiaries to invest in Repsol, S.A. shares of up to 50% of the gross amount of the long-term incentive received and its purpose is to encourage its beneficiaries (including the Chief Executive Officer and the other Executive Committee members) to align themselves with the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders. If the beneficiary maintains the acquired shares for a period of three years from the initial investment and the remaining conditions of the Plan are met, the Company would deliver to the employee one additional share for every three initially acquired.
In addition, the beneficiaries considered to be Senior Management, defined to this end as the Executive Directors and the other Executive Committee members, are subject to an additional performance requirement in order to qualify for receipt of these additional shares, namely overall fulfillment of at least 75% of the targets set in the long-term incentive plan closed in the year immediately preceding that of delivery of the shares.
At the date of authorization for issue of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the seventh, eighth and ninth cycles of this Plan were in force (2017-2020, 2018-2021 and 2019-2022); key data for these cycles are provided below:
| No. of shares | Total initial investment (no. ofshares) |
Average price (Eur/Share) | Maximum commitment for delivery of shares |

| Eighth cycle (2018-2021) | 158 | 150,476 | 16.3021 | 50,160 | |
| Ninth cycle (2019-2022) (1) | 201 | 246,508 | 14.4101 | 82,168 |
(1) This amount includes the shares delivered to the Executive Directors as a partial payment of the 2015-2018 LIP, amounting to 23,544. In accordance with the provisions of the Director Remuneration Policy, the shares, if any, delivered to the Executive Directors under each long-term variable remuneration plan may be calculated for the purposes of the investment in shares referred to in the Share Purchase Plan for the Beneficiaries of the Long-Term Incentive Plans.
During this ninth cycle, the current members of the Executive Committee, including the Chief Executive Officer, have acquired a total of 112,236 shares.
As a result of this Plan, at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group had recognized an expense under "Personnel expenses" with a balancing entry under "Other reserves" in equity of €0.5 million.
In addition, the sixth cycle of the Plan vested on June 30, 2019. As a result, the rights of 114 beneficiaries vested 39,490 shares (receiving a total of 29,563 shares net of payment on account of the personal income tax to be made by the Company). Specifically, the rights of the members of the Executive Committee and the rest of the Executive Directors to 16,134 shares also vested (net of the withholding retained by the Company, these individuals received a total of 11,190 shares).
ii.) "Share Acquisition Plans"
Since 2011 the Company has set up different Share Acquisition Plans, which were approved at the Annual General Meetings of April 15, 2011 (2011-2012 Share Acquisition Plan), May 31, 2012 (2013-2015 Share Acquisition Plan), April 30, 2015 (2016-2018 Share Acquisition Plan) and May 11, 2018 (2019-2021 Share Acquisition Plan).
These Plans are targeted at employees of the Repsol Group in Spain and are designed to enable those so wishing to receive a portion of their remuneration in Repsol, S.A. shares up to an annual limit of €12,000. The shares to be delivered will be valued at Repsol, S.A.'s closing share price on the continuous Spanish stock market on each date of delivery to the beneficiaries.
In 2019 the Group purchased 643,458 shares of Repsol, S.A. amounting to €9.2 million for delivery to employees. In 2018,
under the scope of this Plan, the Group acquired 518,228 Repsol, S.A. shares for a total of €8.2 million (see Note 7).
The members of the Executive Committee acquired 6,680 shares in accordance with the plan terms and conditions in 2019.
iii.) "Global Employee Share Purchase Plan: YOUR REPSOL"
In the last quarter of 2019, the Company launched the Global Employee Share Purchase Plan "YOUR REPSOL", aimed at all employees. This Plan allows employees to allocate a certain amount to the purchase of Company shares and receive one free share for every two initially acquired, provided that the shares are held for a period of 2 years and the other conditions of the Plan are met.
The shares to be delivered under plans i.), ii.) and iii.) may come from Repsol's direct or indirect treasury shares, be newly issued or come from third parties with which agreements have been signed to ensure that the commitments assumed are met.

The Group's risk policy, approved by the Board of Directors, establishes that risk management is integrated into the business processes, and that risks are identified, assessed and mitigated in order to maintain them at levels tolerated by the Company. The risks arising from climate change, both physical and so-called transitional, are managed in the same way as the other risks to which the Group is exposed, except for the fact that their emerging nature makes them the subject of more detailed examination in the long term.

Accounting policies -CO2 emission allowances
Emission allowances are recognized as an intangible asset and are initially recognized at acquisition cost. Those allowances free of charge under the emissions trading system for the 2013-2020 period, are initially recognized at the market price prevailing at the beginning of the year in which they are issued, against deferred income as a grant. As the corresponding tons of CO2 are issued, the deferred income is reclassified to profit or loss.
They are not amortized as their carrying amount matches their residual value and are subject to an impairment test based on their recoverable amount, (measured with reference to the price of the benchmark contract in the futures market provided by the ECX-European Climate Exchange).
The Group records an expense under "Other operating expenses" in the income statement for the CO2 emissions released during the year, recognizing a provision calculated based on the tons of CO2 emitted, measured at: (i) their carrying amount in the case of the allowances that the Group has at year end; and (ii) the closing list price in the case of allowances that it does not yet have at year end.
When the emissions allowances for the tons of CO2 emitted are delivered to the authorities, the intangible assets as well as their corresponding provision are derecognized from the balance sheet without any effect on the income statement.
When carbon emission allowances are actively managed to take advantage of market trading opportunities, the trading allowances portfolio is classified as trading inventories (see Note 17).
In Europe, the regulation concerning the CO2 allowances market, the EU Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS) Directive entered Phase III on January 1, 2013. This phase, which ends in 2020, marks the end of the free allocation of CO2 emission allowances to activities related to electricity generation, while they have been significantly reduced in others. The 2014 update to the EU-ETS Directive confirmed that refining activity in Europe was one of the sectors exposed to carbon leakage and has therefore continued benefiting from the free allocation of CO2 allowances, partially covering its deficits.
The movements in provisions recognized in respect of CO2 emission allowances (see Note 15) used in 2019 and 2018 is as follows:
| € Million | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | ||
| Opening balance for the year | 113 | 69 | |
| Contributions charged to results (1) | 325 | 114 | |
| Reclassifications and other movements (2) | (113) | (70) | |
| Balance at year end | 325 | 113 |
(1) Corresponds to the expense incurred to acquire the allowances needed to cover the Group's CO2 emissions.
(2) In 2019 and 2018, corresponds to the derecognition of allowances used to cover emissions made in 2018 and 2017, respectively (see Note 12).
In 2019 and 2018, the Group companies recognized emission allowances allocated free of charge under the Spanish National Allocation Plan equivalent to 8 million tons of CO2, initially measured at €201 million and €63 million, respectively (see Note 12).
The net cost of carbon management amounted to €132 million in 2019 and €44 million in 2018. The increase is mainly explained by the significant increase in the price of CO2 in 2019 (€24.8/tn compared to €15.9/tn in 2018) corresponding to the CO2 emitted by industrial complexes in Spain not covered by free emission allowances, as well as the inclusion of the electricity generation businesses acquired in 2018.
31.2) Environmental investment, expenses and provisions56
Environmental investments in 2019 amounted to €180 million (€111 million classified as 'work in progress' at December 31). Of note are those aimed at improving the minimization of emissions into the atmosphere, increasing energy saving and efficiency, managing and optimizing water consumption, improving contingency systems and spill prevention systems.
In 2019, of note are the investment at the La Coruña refinery to reduce atmospheric emissions by improving energy integration and replacing compressor turbines in the fluid catalytic cracking unit, as well as the investment in the Petronor and Puertollano refineries in the atmospheric distillation units to improve their energy efficiency.
Environmental expenses, which are recognized under "Procurements" and "Other operating expenses", excluding the expenses for the allowances necessary to cover CO2 emissions (see previous section), amounted to €94 million and €83 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively. In 2019, of note are the actions carried out for the protection of the atmosphere in the Downstream industrial facilities amounting to €26 million (€27 million in 2018); water management amounting to €19 million (€17 million in 2018); and waste management amounting to €17 million (€18 million in 2018).
Provisions for environmental actions57 at December 31, 2019 amount to €99 million, with no significant provisions recognized during the year. In addition, the Group has recognized field dismantling provisions for its hydrocarbon exploration and production assets (see Note 15).
The corporate insurance policies cover, subject to terms and conditions, civil liability for pollution on land and at sea and certain liabilities via-a-vis the authorities pursuant to the Environmental Liability Act, all of which derived from accidental, sudden and identifiable events, in keeping with habitual industry practice and applicable legislation.

APPENDIX III: REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
The activities of Repsol, S.A. and its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation, the key aspects of which are described below.
Spain
Basic legislation
Spain currently has legislation which implements a liberalization of the Oil Industry, an example of which is the Hydrocarbons Sector Law 34/1998 of October 7 ("LSH"), which has been amended by several legislative acts.
Law 2/2011, of March 4, on Sustainable Economy, modified the Hydrocarbons Sector Law, establishing binding guidelines for energy planning under criteria designed to contribute to create a safe, costeffective, economically-sustainable, and environmentally-friendly energy system.
Law 3/2013 of June 4, on the creation of the Spanish National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC - "Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia," in Spanish), created as an overseeing body, charged with the duties and tasks relating to supervision and control of regulated markets, which were previously supervised by various National Commissions, including the Energy and Competition.
Royal Decree Law 1/2019, of January 11, proceeds with returning to the CNMC the competencies that were taken away in 2014, thus bringing the competencies of the CNMC into line with to the requirements of EU law in relation to Directives 2009/72/CE and 2009/73/CE of the European Parliament and Council, of 13 July 2009, concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and natural gas.
Controlling concentration regime in the energy sector
The aforementioned Law 3/2013 modified the regime controlling corporate transactions in the energy sector, allocating duties to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition (MITECO). It devises a new ex post regime with respect to certain transactions by either requiring the buyer to notify MITECO of the execution of certain transactions or by means of the imposition of conditions on the business operations of the companies acquired, in so far as energy supply in Spain is deemed threatened.
A new development of this new control regime is that in addition to extending to the electricity and gas sectors, it now extends to the liquid hydrocarbons sector including companies that pursue refining activities, pipeline transportation, and storage of oil products, or companies that hold title to said assets, which become strategic assets.
Principal operators and dominant operators
Under Royal Decree Law 5/2005, of March 11, the Spanish National Energy Commission (currently the CNMC) is required to publish not only the list of principal operators but also the dominant operators in each energy market or sector. Dominant operators are defined as those holding a share of more than 10% of the benchmark market. On the other hand, a principal operator is considered an operator ranked among the top five players by market share. Designation as a dominant operator or principal operator implies certain regulatory restrictions.
Hydrocarbon exploration and production
Hydrocarbon fields and underground storage located in Spanish territory and in the territorial marine subsoil and ocean bottoms which are under Spanish sovereignty are considered public properties.
Exploration permits are granted by national or regional governments, depending on whether autonomous areas are affected, and exclusive investigation rights for the area in question are granted for periods lasting six years. In turn, the concession for operating hydrocarbon fields grants the owners exclusive rights to operate the field for 30 years, renewable for two successive ten-year periods, as well as the right to continue exploration activities in these areas and obtain authorization to sell the hydrocarbon Law 8/2015, regulating specific tax and non-tax measures related to hydrocarbon exploration, research and operation activities, fosters nonconventional extraction, or fracking and creates an incentive regime for regional and local governments that pursue such activities, as well as a scheme for land owners to share in the profits derived from the related extraction activity.
Royal Decree Law 16/2017, establishing safety provisions for hydrocarbon research and operation in the marine environment, implemented by Royal Decree 1339/2018, of October 29, transposes Directive 2013/30/EU, of 12 June 2013 on safety of offshore oil and gas operations ("Offshore Directive") into Spanish law. The purpose of the Law is to establish minimum requirements that offshore hydrocarbon research and operations must meet to prevent major accidents, to mitigate their consequences and to define action principles to ensure that offshore operations (including operations undertaken outside the EU) are performed employing a systematic risk management approach to ensure that the residual risk of serious accidents is considered acceptable.
With regard to offshore activity, Law 41/2010, of December 29, on the protection of the marine environment, regulates marine strategies as planning instruments for the five marine districts into which the Spanish marine environment is divided. The authorization of any activity that requires carrying out works or installations in marine waters, their bed or their subsoil, or the placement or deposit of materials on the seabed, or discharges regulated in Title IV of the Law, must have a favorable report from the relevant Ministry regarding its compatibility with the marine strategy. Royal Decree 79/2019, of February 22, regulates and implements the procedure for processing this report and establishes the criteria for compatibility with the marine strategies, and is applicable in the case of the modification, renewal or extension of existing actions.
Oil products
The price of oil products is deregulated, with the exception of LPG (see specific information below).
In the retail side of the business, exclusive supply contracts for the distribution of motor fuels have a maximum term of one year, and they can be automatically rolled over for additional one-year periods at the sole discretion of the distributor, for a maximum of three years. The new legislation also bans clauses that set, recommend or influence, directly or indirectly, the price at which fuel is sold to the public.
Additionally, it establishes limits on growth in the number of fuel supply facilities of wholesalers with provincial markets shares of over 30%. Law 8/2015 stipulates that this market share shall no longer be measured in terms of points of sale but rather based on sales figures for the previous year, allowing the government to revise this percentage threshold in three years' time or even remove the restriction altogether, market trends and the sector's business structure so permitting. This period has elapsed without the government having reviewed the above measure for the time being.
Finally, Law 8/2015 allows owners of oil product retailers to supply products to other retail distributors, simply by registering in advance with the excise tax registry.
Minimum stocks
Royal Decree 1766/2007, regulates the obligation to maintain a minimum stocks in the oil and natural gas sectors, the obligation to diversify the supply of oil and natural gas, and the activities of the Corporation of Strategic Reserves of Oil Products (CORES for its acronym in Spanish).
The obligation to maintain minimum stocks of oil products in Spain for security reasons, excluding LPG, currently requires storing at all times an amount equivalent to 92 days of sales based on the sales during the previous 12 months. Repsol must maintain stocks corresponding to 50 days of sales, while the remaining stocks are held by CORES on behalf of the various operators (strategic reserves) until the obligation established has been met. Royal Decree Law 15/2013, of December 13, introduces an amendment to the Hydrocarbon Sector Law, indicating that via regulation, administrative procedures and obligations needed to ensure, on an ongoing basis, a minimum safety buffer equivalent to at least the higher of the volume corresponding to 90 days of average net daily imports and 61 days of average internal daily consumption corresponding to the year of reference and measured in oil equivalent.
LPG
Under certain circumstances, LPG prices are subject to retail price ceilings. The prices of bulk LPG and bottled LPG in cylinders with capacity of under 8 kg or over 20 kg are deregulated. Law 18/2014, of October 15, has had the effect of also deregulating the prices of containers with capacity of more than 8 kg or less than 20 kg with a tare weight of no more than 9 kg, with the exception of LPG mixes intended for use for fuel purposes; this measure favors certain players over others as a function of the tare weight of the containers sold and, in practice, does not constitute full sector deregulation.
Ministerial Order IET/389/2015, of March 5, 2015, updates the system for automatically determining the maximum price at which bottled LPG can be retailed and for determining the price of piped LPG, adjusting the formulae used to calculate raw material costs in order to, as per the wording of the Order, adapt them "to the supply reality in the Spanish market in recent years''. Adaptation of these formulae does not apply to sales costs, thereby resulting in a reduction in maximum bottled LPG retail prices and piped LPG retail prices.
Additionally, Law 18/2014 consolidate users' right to home delivery of containers weighing between 8 kg and 20 kg by obliging the LPG wholesalers with the biggest market shares in the corresponding mainland and island territories to perform this home-delivery service. Failure to fulfill this obligation constitutes a very serious offense. The list of LPG wholesalers so obliged is determined by a resolution issued by the General Directorate of Energy Policy and Mining every 3 years. Every 5 years, the Spanish government is entitled to revise the terms of this obligation and has the power to remove it. The current list of mandatory home suppliers is as follows: Repsol Butano on the mainland and in the Balearic Islands, DISA in the Canary Islands and Atlas in Ceuta and Melilla.
On November 28, 2019, the Supreme Court handed down judgments dismissing two appeals for judicial review filed by Repsol Butano and Disa Gas against Ministerial Order IET/389/2015, of March 5, and indirectly against Articles 57 and 58 of Law 18/2014, of October 15, applied by the Order under appeal. This regulatory framework excludes LPG containers with a load equal to or greater than 8 kg and less than 20 kg, with a tare weight of more than 9 kg, from the deregulation introduced by Law 18/2014; it establishes an obligation for LPG wholesale operators with a greater market share in certain territories to supply residential homes and, lastly, it maintains the regulated price of containers with a tare weight of less than 9 kg for operators required to supply residential homes that do not have containers with a tare weight greater than that mentioned, in the corresponding territory. This framework particularly affects Repsol Butano, which is the majority operator on the mainland and the Balearic Islands, and whose fleet consists mainly of heavy containers with a tare weight of more than 9 kg.
Natural gas
Law 12/2007, of July 2, which amended the Hydrocarbon Sector Law, incorporated measures for achieving a completely liberalized market. This legislation establishes the framework for eliminating the tariff system and creates the role of the supplier of last resort with ultimate liability for supplying customers lacking sufficient bargaining power. Moreover, these suppliers are subject to a price cap ("last resort tariff"), set by MITECO. Business operations in the natural gas sector can be classified into: i) regulated activities: transport (including storage, regasification and transport per se) and distribution of natural gas; and ii) deregulated activities: production, acquisition and marketing of natural gas. The Natural Gas System Operator, Enagás S.A., is responsible for the coordinating and ensuring that the system works properly. Law 8/2015 creates an official natural gas hub with a view to facilitating entry into the market of new suppliers and increasing competition, creating a new single hub operator, tasked with management of the gas hub, the MIBGAS (which stands for Iberian Gas Market in Spanish), which ensures that all participating entities comply with the established rules.
Electricity sector regulation in Spain
Deregulation of the Spanish electricity sector began in 1997 with the approval of Electricity Sector Law 54/1997, of November 27, amended by Law 17/2007, of July 4, and later by Electricity Sector Law 24/2013, of December 26.
Production and sale activities continue to be deregulated, governed by competition, while transmission, distribution and the system's technical and financial management remain as regulated activities, characterized by access that requires administrative authorization, and their remuneration is established by regulations and subject to specific obligations. Power supply, for its part, is classified as a service of general economic interest.
Royal Decree 413/2014 regulates the legal and economic regime governing the production of electricity using renewable sources, combined heat and power systems and waste, and affects the Repsol Group's facilities, formerly part of the now-defunct special regime and now assimilated into the ordinary regime. Ministerial Order IET/1045/2014, of June 16, meanwhile, enacts the standard facility remuneration parameters applicable to certain electricityproducing facilities that use renewable energy sources, CHP systems or waste. Royal Decree 900/2015, of October 9, regulating the administrative, technical and financial conditions was passed, which governs the permitted forms of electricity distribution and generation with self-consumption. This Royal Decree 900/2015 has been substantially modified by Royal Decree Law 15/2018 and now by Royal Decree 244/2019, of April 5, regulating the administrative, technical and economic conditions for self-consumption in Spain. This regulation supplements the regulatory framework promoted by Royal Decree Law 15/2018, the main measure of which was to repeal the so-called "sun tax", and represents a new energy panorama that is committed to a model based on distributed generation and renewable energies. Among the many new developments, the following are worth mentioning:
- Recognition of the figure of shared self-consumption, which provides the possibility that several users may benefit from the same generating facility.
- Simplification of bureaucratic procedures and deadlines for the legalization of facilities.
- Introduction of simplified compensation for generation surpluses. Selfconsumed energy from renewable sources, combined heat and power systems or waste, as well as surplus energy released into the transmission and distribution network, will be exempt from all types of charges and fees.
Ministerial Order ETU/130/2017, of February 17, updated the remuneration parameters of standard facilities applicable to certain facilities producing electricity from renewable energy sources, combined heat and power systems and waste, in order to be applied to the regulatory half period commencing on January 1, 2017.
a. Remuneration system for generation activity
Law 24/2013, of December 26, abandons the differentiated concepts of ordinary and special regime, without prejudice to the singular considerations that need to be established. The remuneration system for renewable energies, combined heat and power systems and waste is based on the market share of these facilities, complementing market income with a specific regulated remuneration that allows these technologies to compete on an equal footing with the rest of the technologies on the market. This additional specific remuneration must be sufficient to achieve the minimum level necessary to cover costs which, unlike conventional technologies, cannot be recouped on the market and will enable them to obtain adequate profitability with reference to the standard facility in each applicable case. The rate of return for the activity of production from renewable energy sources, combined heat and power systems and waste, for the first regulatory period, is established in Royal Decree Law 9/2013, of July 12, which adopts urgent measures to ensure the financial stability of the electricity system. For the purpose of calculating the specific remuneration, the following shall be taken into account for a standard facility: the income from the sale of the generated energy valued at the production market price, the average operating costs necessary to carry out the activity and the value of the initial investment of the standard facility.
Royal Decree 359/2017, of March 31, established a call for the granting of the specific remuneration system to new facilities producing electricity from renewable energy sources in the peninsular electricity system, and Ministerial Order ETU/315/2017, of April 6, regulated the procedure for assigning the specific remuneration system. In turn, and for 2016 calls only for biomass and wind through Royal Decree 947/2015 and Ministerial Order IET/2212/2015, and the 2nd auction in 2017 through Royal Decree 650/2017 and Ministerial Order ETU/615/2017), similar to the 1st of that year and open to all technologies.
b. Remuneration system for marketing activity
The marketing activity is based on the principles of freedom of contract and choice of supplier by the customer. Marketing, as a deregulated activity, has a freely agreed remuneration between the parties.
Of note is Law 24/2013, subsequently developed by Royal Decree 216/2014, of March 28, which establishes the methodology for calculating voluntary prices for small electricity consumers and their legal contracting regime. These prices are defined, in line with the previously denominated last resort tariffs, as the maximum prices that reference resellers may charge to consumers who use them (consumers of less than a certain contracted power, 10 kW, who wish to use this modality as opposed to a bilateral negotiation with a free reseller). These prices will be unique throughout the entire Spanish territory. The term last resort tariffs is reserved for two groups of consumers: the so-called vulnerable consumers (which also includes the new categories of severely vulnerable and at risk of social exclusion) and those consumers who, without being entitled to voluntary prices for the small consumer, temporarily do not have a supply contract with a marketer. These voluntary prices for small consumers shall include in an additive manner, by analogy with the tariff of last resort, the concepts of electricity production cost, the corresponding access tolls and charges and the corresponding marketing costs. In addition, this Royal Decree provides as an alternative that the consumer can contract a fixed price of energy for one year with the reference reseller. It also sets out the criteria for designating reference resellers and their obligations in relation to supply to certain consumer groups.
Royal Decree 469/2016, of November 18, amending Royal Decree 216/2014, establishes the methodology for calculating the marketing costs of the reference resellers to be included in the calculation of the voluntary price for small consumers. Ministerial Order ETU/1948/2016, of December 22, established the values of the marketing costs of the reference resellers to be included in the calculation of the voluntary price for small electricity consumers in the 2014-2018 period, which result from applying the new approved methodology. In turn, Royal Decree Law 7/2016 and Royal Decree 897/2017, are the current frame of reference for everything relating to the rate subsidy and the vulnerable consumer.
c. Tariff deficit
In terms of revenue, the electricity system was not self-sufficient until 2014, generating an annual deficit, which the electricity companies have had to finance. 2014 was the first year with a surplus in the electricity system after more than a decade in which significant deficits accumulated, thanks to the comprehensive reform undertaken to put an end to the emergence of tariff deficits and allow the economic-financial balance of the system, fundamentally based on the following regulations:
- Law 15/2012, of December 27, on fiscal measures for energy sustainability introduced by the IVPEE, commonly known as the green cent, the hydroelectric royalty, etc.
- Royal Decree Law 9/2013, of July 12, establishes a number of additional remuneration principles for the transmission and distribution of electricity, and establishes the concept of reasonable return in project return, which, before taxes, will be based on the average yield in the secondary market of the ten-year government bonds applying the appropriate differential. In addition, it contemplates other measures aimed at rebalancing the balance between income and costs of the electricity system, such as imposing the financing of the rate subsidy on vertically integrated companies or the reduction of the investment incentive in exchange for
doubling the time remaining to receive this incentive. Subsequently, the obligation was transferred to the marketing companies (or their corporate parent companies), an obligation that is currently in force.
- Law 24/2013, of December 26, incorporates the guiding principle of economic and financial sustainability, whereby any regulatory measure in relation to the sector that entails an increase in cost for the electricity system or a reduction in income must incorporate an equivalent reduction in other cost items or an equivalent increase in income to ensure the system's balance.
- Royal Decree 1054/2014, of December 12, regulates the procedure for assigning the rights to collect the electricity system deficit for 2013 and develops the methodology for calculating the interest rate that will accrue to the rights to collect said deficit and, where appropriate, the negative temporary misalignments in the financial years after 2013.
From 2014 onwards, any temporary mismatch between income and costs of the electricity system resulting from the closing settlements in a financial year and resulting in a deficit of income, as well as the temporary deviations between income and costs in the monthly settlements on account of the closing of each financial year that may arise, shall be financed by the subjects of the settlement system in proportion to the remuneration corresponding to them for the activity they carry out. In the event of a revenue shortfall in a financial year, the amount of the shortfall may not exceed 2% of the system's estimated revenue for that financial year. In addition, the accumulated debt due to misalignments from previous years may not exceed 5% of the system's estimated revenue for that year. Tolls, if any, or corresponding charges shall be revised by a total at least equal to the amount by which those limits are exceeded.
Contributions to the national energy efficiency fund
Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency makes it binding on member states to justify a quantity of energy savings by 2020, obliging each state to establish energy efficiency obligation schemes such that energy distributors and/or retailers are obliged to achieve a cumulative quantity of energy savings by year-end 2020 means of annual savings between 2014 and 2020 equivalent to 1.5% of their annual energy sales. Royal Decree Law 8/2014 and Law 18/2014 transpose this EU Directive into Spanish law by establishing a National Energy Efficiency Fund (NEEF) by virtue of which gas and electricity distributors, oil product wholesalers and liquid petroleum gas wholesalers (although the latter are not considered bound parties under the Directive) are allocated an annual energy saving target at the national level called savings obligations, which is quantified in financial terms.
Successive IET/ETU ministerial orders stipulating mandatory contributions to the National Energy Efficiency Fund, are being appealed by the various companies encompassed by the aforementioned National Fund contribution obligation, including the Group entities subject to this obligation.
Energy audits
Royal Decree 56/2016, of February 12, transposing Article 8 of Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency, in respect of energy audits, energy service and energy audit provider accreditation and the promotion of energy efficiency, took effect in February 2016.
It has the effect of obliging all enterprises that are not SMEs ("large enterprises") within the European Union to carry out regular energy audits with a view to analyzing whether their energy management is optimal and having them establish the opportune energy savings and efficiency opportunities and proposals as warranted. The Group's energy management systems, which are based on the international ISO 50001 standard, are implemented in the Group's main industrial companies.
Climate change and alternative fuels
Following the Paris Agreement, countries' commitments under their respective National Determined Contributions (NDCs) will have a significant impact on the development of new climate policies.
The European Union, also a signatory of the Paris Agreement, has made a commitment to climate neutrality by 2050. To this end, in December 2019 the European Commission presented the European Green Deal, which constitutes the new EU growth strategy, and which aims to completely transform the European economy, highlighting the following proposals for 2020: (i) European climate law, (ii) increase in the EU's objectives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, as part of the EU Emissions Trading System, and (iii) increase in renewable energies and energy efficiency, which will be reflected in the corresponding Directives. Directive 2018/2001, on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, currently sets a target of 8.5% for the sale or consumption of biofuels in transport by 2020. In addition, there is a 7% restriction on the use of biofuel from food crops, which the use of waste, such as used cooking oil (UCO) or animal fats, essential to achieve compliance.
As far as Spain is concerned, the MITECO is currently preparing the "Energy and Climate Package", which includes the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) as well as the future Climate Change and Energy Transition Act, and a strategy for a fair transition. This Act and the PNIEC constitute a commitment by the government to comply with the objectives set out in the Paris Agreement and by the European Union, which Spain has already assumed.
The purpose of Royal Decree 639/2016, of December 9, is to minimize the dependence of the transport industry on oil, mitigate the environmental impact of transport, and establish threshold requirements for the creation of an infrastructure for alternative fuels, including charging stations for electric vehicles and natural gas and hydrogen refueling stations.
Finally, the MITECO has established energy policy guidelines for the CNMC through the enactment of Ministerial Order TEC/406/2019, of April 5, which establishes the energy policy guidelines that the CNMC must observe in the circulars that make up its regulatory plan for 2019 and that correspond to the natural gas and electricity sectors.
This order differentiates those guidelines that must be applied to each of the CNMC's circulars, however, in general, the purpose of all of these guidelines is to ensure consistency between the regulatory action of the regulatory authority and the priorities of the government's energy policy. These include, among others, guidelines aimed at optimal management of national resources, electricity savings and efficiency, the penetration of renewable energies and financial prudence.
For further information on the risks arising from climate change see section 6.1 of the 2019 Consolidated Management Report.
Bolivia
The 2009 Bolivian Constitutions establishes that state-owned company Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB) is authorized to enter into service agreements with companies for the latter to undertake activities for and on its behalf in exchange for remuneration or payment for their services.
The Bolivian oil and gas industry is regulated by Law 3,058 of May 19, 2005 (the "Hydrocarbons Law") and technical and economic regulations.
On May 1, 2006, Supreme Decree no. 28,701 was published, which nationalized the country's hydrocarbons. Furthermore, the shares required to enable YPFB to control at least 50% plus one vote in various companies, including Empresa Petrolera Andina, S.A., (currently known as YPFB Andina), were nationalized.
On December 11, 2015, Law No. 767 was passed to promote investment in hydrocarbon exploration and production in Bolivia. Furthermore, Law No. 817 of July 19, 2016 was enacted, supplementing Article 42 of Law No. 3,058, previously amended by Law No. 767, allowing YPFB to enforce addenda to operating contracts to extend their term.
Operating contracts
According to the Hydrocarbons Law and Article 362 of the Bolivian Constitution (CPE), any individual or group, national or foreign, public or private person may enter into one or more shared production, operation or association contracts with YPFB to carry out exploration and operation activities, for a period not to exceed forty (40) years. The CPE of 2009 and Law 767 limit the type of contract to oil service contracts, which have characteristics similar to the operating contracts of Law 3058.
An operating contract is a contract by which the holder will execute, with its own means and at its own risk, for and on behalf of YPFB, the operations corresponding to the exploration and operation activities within the area covered by the contract, under the remuneration system, in the case of entering into operation activities. YPFB will not make any investment and will not assume any risk or liability for the investments or results obtained in relation to the contract, and it is the exclusive responsibility of the holder to provide all capital, installations, equipment, materials, personnel, technology and other necessary items. YPFB remunerates the holder for the operating services in cash through the holder's remuneration. This payment will cover all operating and utility costs. YPFB will in turn pay the royalties, taxes and production shares plus the corresponding taxes. Once production has started in an oil contract, the holder is required to deliver all oil and gas produced to YPFB. The holder will be entitled to remuneration under the operating agreement for the total amount produced and delivered to YPFB.
Oil contracts and amendments thereto require authorization and approval by the Plurinational Legislative Assembly, in accordance with the Political Constitution of the State (Legislative Power).
As a result of the Hydrocarbons Law and the Nationalization Decree, Repsol E&P Bolivia S.A. and its subsidiary YPFB Andina S.A. signed the operating contracts, effective as of May 2, 2007. In addition, the natural gas and liquid hydrocarbon delivery agreements establishing the terms and conditions governing the delivery of hydrocarbons by the holder were entered into on May 8, 2009.
Canada
Regulation of exploration and production activities
In the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan where the majority of the Company's exploration and production interests in Canada lie, the provincial governments own the majority of the subsurface mineral rights to crude oil and natural gas. These governments grant rights to explore for and produce oil and natural gas from Crown lands under the conditions set forth in provincial legislation and regulations. In addition to Crown lands, the Company participates in leases entered into from freehold mineral owners through direct negotiation. The royalties applicable to production from Crown lands are established by government regulation and, in general, calculated as a percentage of gross production based on the productivity of the wells, geographical location, date on which the oil fields were discovered, recovery method and type and quality of substance produced. Occasionally, the provincial governments may offer incentive programs for exploration and development. Such programs seek to reduce the royalty rate or other fees or offer certain tax credits. Fees and royalties payable for production on privately owned land are established by means of negotiation between the owner and the Company.
Companies operating in the Canadian oil and natural gas industry are subject to extensive regulation and control of operations (including land ownership, exploration, development, production, refining, transport and marketing, in addition to environmental matters) as a result of legislation and policy enacted at both the federal level (by the government of Canada) and by the various provincial governments. Generally speaking, oversight of such operations is undertaken by regulatory bodies that include the British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission, the Alberta Energy Regulator, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Economy and the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Environment, as well as federal regulatory bodies such as the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and the Canada Energy Regulator.
Environmental and emissions regulations
Environment regulations from provincial and Canadian federal governments restrict and prohibit the release or emission of various substances that are considered harmful, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. Regulations also impose conditions or prohibitions on operating in certain environmentally sensitive areas and establish requirements that regulate the satisfactory abandonment and reclamation of well and facility sites. Noncompliance with the legislation, regulations, orders, directives or other applicable guidelines can result in fines or other sanctions.
In addition to the regulation and control of exploration and production activities, the provincial and Canadian federal governments have also enacted various forms of emissions regulations. In October 2019, the newlyelected Alberta government introduced the Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction Implementation Act (TIER) to replace the Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation (CCIR). The CCIR and TIER are similar in their approach, however the TIER moves from the CCIR's industry-based benchmarks to benchmarks based on the average past performance of the facilities. The TIER currently mandates a \$30 per ton price on carbon emissions.
The TIER regulations are intended to meet federally mandated carbon standards; however, the Canadian federal government has indicated an intent to review the TIER to determine if it meets federal standards.
The provincial government of Alberta has also committed to reducing methane emissions from oil and gas operations by 45% by 2025 through new emissions design standards for facilities, improved measurement and reporting and new regulated standards starting in 2020.
In addition to the provincial regulations, the Canadian federal government has announced, as part of the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, the possibility of provinces applying further increases to the price of carbon to \$50 CDN per ton by 2022.
Ecuador
In accordance with the Constitution of 2008 and the Hydrocarbons Law of Ecuador, the nation's hydrocarbon fields and the associated substances are the inalienable, imprescriptible and unattachable property of the State
The amended legislation of the Hydrocarbons Law and the Internal Tax Regime Law, of July 27, 2010, established that all agreements for the exploration and operation of hydrocarbons must be modified to reflect the amended reformed services agreement model.
This model involves the contractor being obliged to provide services using its own economic resources and at its own risk. In exchange, the contractor will receive a set price per net barrel of oil produced and delivered to the State. This price, which constitutes the contractor's gross revenue, is contractually stipulated based on estimated depreciation schedules, cost/ expense schedules and a reasonable profit in light of the risk incurred.
Repsol Ecuador, S.A. (Ecuador Branch) entered into the services agreement for Block 16, which came into force on January 1, 2011. In addition, on January 22, 2011, a services agreement was signed covering the Block 67.
United States
Offshore exploration and production
The two government agencies responsible for offshore exploration and production are the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) under the U.S. Department of the Interior. The BOEM is in charge of responsibly ensuring the economic and environmental development of US offshore resources. Its functions include the leasing (agreements that grant oil and gas mining rights), the revision and management of oil and gas exploration, the approval of development plans and carrying out analyses pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act and other environmental studies. The BSEE is responsible for safety and environmental supervision of offshore oil and gas operations. Its functions include the development and application of safety and environmental regulations, the authorization of offshore exploration, development and production, the performance of inspections and the response to oil spills.
Onshore exploration and production
With regard to US onshore exploration and production activities, the oil and gas industry is primarily regulated by the laws of the individual states, with the exception of certain environmental matters and operations on federal land. At present, the Company has operations in Alaska, Pennsylvania and Texas. In the Alaska and Texas, exploration and production activities are regulated by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources and the Railroad Commission of Texas, respectively. Each of these states has its own environmental protection agency. In Pennsylvania, the local Department of Environmental Protection is responsible for both environmental protection activities and the regulation of exploration and production activities.
Federal authorities do have exclusive jurisdiction over certain environmental aspects that affect the gas and oil sector. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) applies laws and regulations such as the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The environmental impact of the projects is regulated by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which is managed by different Federal agencies depending on the type of project.
Transport
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) governs the transport of natural gas as part of interstate commerce and the transport of oil via oil pipelines within the same field. The states regulate other types of transport.
Liquefied natural gas
The Natural Gas Act grants the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) the exclusive power to regulate plants that import and export liquefied natural gas arriving in the United States and leaving the country with the authorization of the Office of Fossil Energy at the US Department of Energy (DOE).
Trading of gas, crude oil and refined products
The FERC regulates the sale of natural gas as part of interstate commerce. A number of US regulatory bodies are empowered to regulate the oil and refined products trading market. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has the power to regulate crude oil trading activities. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates refined products marketed to private consumers such as gasoline and diesel. Trading of financial derivatives is regulated by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
On December 18, 2015, the 2016 Consolidated Appropriation Act was passed (Public law no. 114-113). This piece of legislation repeals Article 103 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), thereby eliminating the ban on exporting crude oil produced in the US. The legislation preserves the President's power to restrict oil exports in response to a national emergency, enforce trade sanctions and remedy oil supply scarcity or the sustained distortion of oil prices significantly above world market levels.
Indonesia
Under Indonesia's 1945 Constitution, all natural resources (including oil and gas) within Indonesian territory are owned and controlled by the State. The regulation of oil and natural gas in Indonesia is based on Law No. 22 of 2001 ("Law No. 22"), which sets out broad principles for the regulation of the industry. These principles are applied by means of a series of implementing regulations enacted under Law No. 22, as well as ministerial regulations and decrees.
Law No. 22 restructured and liberalized the State's control over the oil and gas industry. SKK Migas is the current successor to Perusahaan Pertambangan Minyak dan Gas Bumi Negara ("PERTAMINA") as the supervisory party to the Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs).
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources ("MEMR") is responsible for approving the first Plan of Development under production sharing contracts and overseeing the State's ownership and management of oil and gas resources. With assistance from the Directorate General of Oil and Gas ("MIGAS"), the MEMR formulates government policy, determines the blocks to be opened for bidding, is responsible for approval of transfers by contractors of their participating interest (in consultation with SKK Migas) and issues the licenses required for the conduct of refining oil and gas marketing activities, such as the production of liquefied natural gas using refining and marketing structures.
The Ministry of Finance is responsible for issuing instructions concerning the basis of the government's share derived from the operation of liquefied natural gas and subordinated by Directorate General of Tax and Directorate General of Customs and Excise, determining the taxes, duties and excise due on LNG development activities, deciding on issues related to government guarantees and formulating, determining and implementing policies on state-owned assets.
Pursuant to Law No. 22, companies wishing to explore for and operate oil and gas reserves must enter into a cooperation contract with SKK MIGAS. The form of cooperation contract typically entered into in respect of exploration and production activities in Indonesia is a PSC.
Under a PSC, the government of Indonesia retains ownership of the oil and gas (prior to delivery) and the contractor bears all the risk and costs of exploration, development and production in return for an agreed percentage share of oil and/or gas production and recovery of eligible operating costs from production.
On January 16, 2017, the government of Indonesia introduced a new form of PSC (the "Gross Split PSC") under Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 8 of 2017, on Gross Split Production Sharing Contracts ("Regulation 8/2017"). On December 28, 2017, the government of Indonesia enacted Government Regulation No. 53 of 2017 on the tax treatment of the Gross Split Production Sharing Contract (Government Regulation 53/2017), governing the tax conditions applicable to Gross Split PSCs.
On June 17, 2018, following the announcement that Repsol Exploración South East Jambi BV (formerly Talisman West Bengara BV) had been successful in the 2018 tender process for South East Jambi, the company signed the South East Jambi PSC, the first Repsol PSC under the Gross Split variant.
Peru
The Constitution includes the main bases of its legal framework governing the hydrocarbons market in Peru. The Constitution states that the government promotes private initiatives, recognizing the economic pluralism, and the state having a subsidiary role in terms of business concerns. The Constitution also establishes that private and public business activity must be treated equally under the law, and that national and foreign investments are subject to the same conditions. In addition, the Constitution stipulates that the country's natural resources are the property of the State and that the terms and conditions of access to and use of these resources by private parties must be regulated by means of organic laws.
Natural and legal persons, whether Peruvian or foreign, that pursue hydrocarbon activities are expressly subject to the laws of the Republic of Peru, renouncing the right to any diplomatic recourse.
The most important authorities with competence over Peruvian hydrocarbon matters are: the Ministry of Energy and Mining (MINEM for its acronym in Spanish), which is tasked with drafting, passing, proposing and applying sector policy; and the Energy and Mining Investment Oversight Body (OSINERGMIN), tasked with oversight of the natural and legal persons carrying out activities related to the electricity and hydrocarbon sub-sectors and the imposition of penalties for any breaches of the legal and technical obligations issued by the MINEM and PERUPETRO, S.A. The Environmental Assessment and Taxation Body (OEFA) is the technical institution specialized in ensuring compliance with the standards, obligations and incentives laid down in prevailing environmental regulations.
Exploration and production
The Organic Hydrocarbons Law (OHL), regulates this natural resource. To provide legal assurance to investors, it states that contracts under its framework shall be considered Contract-Law, and therefore can only be modified by written agreement between the two parties. To achieve these objectives, the OLH created PERUPETRO, a state-owned limited company organized as a public corporation, to which the state, as owner of the hydrocarbons located in its territory, grants the right of ownership over the hydrocarbons, so that PERUPETRO can negotiate, execute and monitor exploration and/or operation contracts, with a licensee (contractor) by means of license agreements, service agreements and other forms of contracts authorized by MINEM.
Hydrocarbon refining and marketing
The OHL stipulates that any natural or legal persons, whether national or foreign, may install, operate, and maintain oil refineries, plants for processing natural gas and condensates, natural asphalt, greases, lubricants, and petrochemicals, subject to the norms specifically established by MINEM.
In Peru, the marketing of hydrocarbon derivatives is regulated by supply and demand.
Venezuela
The Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela stipulates that the mines and hydrocarbon fields, irrespective of their nature, located on national territory, offshore under the sea bed, in the exclusive economic zone or on the continental platform, belong to the Republic, are public-domain goods and are, therefore, inalienable and imprescriptible.
By virtue of organic law and to protect national interests, the Venezuelan State has reserved the Venezuelan oil and gas activities for itself. For reasons of economic and political sovereignty and for national strategic purposes, the State holds all of the shares of Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), or the entity that may be created for the management of the oil industry.
The Hydrocarbons Organic Law (HOL) regulates all matters regarding the exploration, operation, refining, industrialization, transport, storage, sale and conservation of hydrocarbons, including related refined products and the works required to perform these activities. Pursuant to the HOL, the performance of activities involving the exploration, extraction, collection, transport and storage of hydrocarbons is reserved to the State, which may undertake them directly or through wholly-owned State companies. The State may also conduct these activities through mixed-owned companies whose equity interest is over 50%.
The mixed companies agreements referred to in the HOL do not impose restrictions on this legal form of company in terms of transferring funds in the form of cash dividends, loan repayments or the redemption of shareholder advances in foreign currency (USD).
Activities relating to the exploration, operation, collection, storage, use, industrialization, sale and transport of non-associated natural gas and associated gas are subject to the provisions set out in the Organic Gaseous Hydrocarbons Law and its regulations.
On January 14, 2016, Decree No. 2184 was published in the Extraordinary Official Journal of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela No. 6,214, declaring a State of Economic Emergency throughout the entire territory of the Republic for a period of 60 days, providing the State with the power to enact exceptional and extraordinary economic, social, environmental, political and legal measures, in addition to others. This Decree has been successively extended on 23 occasions, with the most recent, Presidential Decree No. 4,090, published on January 5, 2020, in Extraordinary Official Gazette No. 6,501.
The National Constituent Assembly was called by the President of the Bolivarian Republic, Nicolás Maduro, via Presidential Decree No. 2,830, published on May 1, 2017; all public authorities are subordinated under the Constituent Assembly and are obliged to comply and ensure compliance with the legal documents issued by said Assembly. The maximum term of this Assembly has been set at two years. On May 20, 2019, the National Constituent Assembly published a Constituent Decree in Official Gazette No. 41,636 by which it extended the operation of the National Constituent Assembly at least until December 31, 2020.
Official Gazette No. 41,310, of December 29, 2017, contained the publication of the Constitutional Foreign Production Investment Law, establishing the principles, policies and procedures that regulate foreign production investments in goods and services. The special legislation regulating foreign investments in specific sectors of the economy shall prevail over said law, including those addressing hydrocarbon, mining and telecommunications matters. To date, the relevant sectoral regulation has not been published.
On January 5, 2018, the term ended, established in Resolution No. 164 of the Ministry of the People's Power of Petroleum, published in the Official Gazette of December 6, 2017, for the review and validation of all national and international contracts signed and those that are about to be signed, by PDVSA, its subsidiaries and the mixed companies where PDVSA owns shares. To date, the review process is still ongoing in the mixed companies, and the results of this process have yet to be disclosed.
Monetary regime
On February 20, 2018, the launch of the "Petro" cryptocurrency was announced, backed by reserves from field 1 of the Ayacucho Block in the Hugo Chávez Frías Orinoco Oil Belt, in order to create an alternative currency to the dollar and a digital and transparent economy for the benefit of emerging countries. Such purchase may be made in convertible currencies: yuan, Turkish lira, euro and rouble. On March 19, the President of the United States of America signed an executive order prohibiting US persons and US residents from performing transactions with any digital currency issued by the Venezuelan government as of January 9, 2018, which increases that country's sanctions regime on Venezuelan natural and legal persons.
On July 25, 2018, Presidential Decree No. 3,548 was published in Official Gazette No. 41,446, establishing that from August 20, 2018 onwards, all monetary amounts expressed in national currency prior to that date, must be converted to the new monetary unit, dividing the current units by one hundred thousand (100,000).
On August 2, 2018, the National Constituent Assembly published a Decree revoking the Exchange Rate System Law in Official Gazette No. 41,452, with a view to granting both natural and legal persons, whether Venezuelan or foreign nationals, full guarantees in terms of their involvement in the country's socioeconomic development model.
On September 7, 2018, the Central Bank of Venezuela ("BCV") published in Extraordinary Official Journal No. 6,405 the so-called Exchange Agreement No. 1 ("the Exchange Agreement", pending regulation by BCV), the purpose of which is to establish the free convertibility of the currency nationwide. This Exchange Agreement revoked the Exchange Agreements that were in force at the time of its publication. The most relevant aspects are: i) development of the main principles of the new Exchange Market System; ii) reestablishment of the free convertibility of the currency and the lifting of restrictions on exchange transactions; iii) capacity of BCV to centralize, manage and regulate operations under the new Exchange Market System; iv) (a) all foreign currency purchase and sale transactions for the public and private sector will be performed at the exchange rate and the sale of foreign currency positions (auctions); (b) exchange transactions at the retail price; and (c) purchase and sale of securities in national currency; v) regulation of the exchange system applicable to the public oil sector.
On May 2, 2019, the Central Bank of Venezuela published Resolution No. 19-05-01 in Official Gazette No. 41,624, which authorized the so-called foreign exchange tables.
On November 19, 2019, the Presidency of the Republic published a decree instructing natural and legal persons, public and private, to register information and economic events expressed in accounting terms in sovereign cryptoassets, without prejudice to their registration in Bolivars.

Message from the CEO

We became the first company in the oil and gas industry to set a target of net zero emissions by 2050.
Dear Shareholder:
I would like to take the opportunity offered by this report to review the main achievements of 2019, a key year for Repsol. We have made progress in diversifying our activities and advancing the energy transition. Above all, we became the first company in the oil and gas industry to set a target of net zero emissions by 2050.
To achieve this, we are orienting the company's strategy towards reaching this target, aligning our business plans with the goals of the energy transition and strengthening our profile as a customer-focused multi-energy supplier. We have specific plans in place to gradually lower our carbon intensity over the coming decades: 10% by 2025, 20% by 2030 and 40% by 2040.
With the technological advances of today, we envisage that we can achieve, at least, a 70% net emissions reduction by 2050, and we are committed to applying the best technologies to raise this figure, including Carbon capture, utilization, and storage. If this should prove not to be enough, we shall offset emissions through reforestation and other natural climate solutions to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
These emission reduction goals are the bedrock of the Strategic Plan 2021-2025, which will set our targets and guide our actions until the middle of this decade.
In line with this new strategic approach, in a context defined by new oil and gas market dynamics and public policies aimed at decarbonizing the economy, we have assumed a new hydrocarbon price scenario consistent with the climate objectives of the Paris Agreement. As a result, in the financial statements for 2019 we have adjusted the book value of some assets by 4,849 million euros. This has reduced the specific results for the year. Cash generation, however, is unaffected and rose by 8% in relation to 2018. Nor will the write-down affect the announced proposal to increase shareholder return to one euro per share, one of the most attractive dividends on the Spanish stock exchange and in our industry worldwide.
In the coming years, one of our priorities will continue to be the development of renewable energy. So, in 2019 we raised our target for low-emission electricity generation capacity for 2025 by 3,000 MW; the new target is 7,500 MW. At this moment, we have 2,952 MW capacity in operation and 1,185 MW under development.

In the coming years, one of our priorities will continue to be the development of renewable energy.

We have approved investments to take on further renewable projects with a total capacity of 1,474 MW. In 2019, we acquired four projects with a combined capacity of 921 MW. We also passed the one million electricity and gas customer mark, a 31% increase since the start of the business.
In 2019, we demonstrated our commitment to technology and new businesses that enables us to move forward in the energy transition, through projects such as the purchase of Ibil's electric vehicle charging network that allows us to have one of the biggest public charging networks in Spain. We also launched Solify, our new end-to-end photovoltaic solar self-consumption solution for individual clients and companies, offering 100% renewable energy. And we opened the first two ultra-fast charging points on the Iberian Peninsula, thus continuing to set the pace in energy for mobility.
In Upstream and Downstream, our priority has been profitable growth. In the Upstream segment, the highlight was the discovery in the Sakakemang block in Indonesia, one of the largest onshore discoveries in the world in 2019, with a volume of gas equivalent to Spain's entire consumption for two years. In Downstream, Lubricants continued its international expansion with the purchase of 40% of United Oil Company, which will produce and distribute Repsol products in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam, thereby strengthening our presence in Southeast Asia, one of the world's largest markets.
For our plans to succeed, all our businesses must meet decarbonization targets. In Upstream, we will prioritize value creation over output growth, focusing on asset
portfolio enhancement, with shorter-cycle projects and faster monetization in regions with clear competitive advantages. We shall maintain a sensible balance between gas and oil in our reserves, two energy sources that, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), will continue to be vital to society in the coming decades.
In our industrial businesses, the decarbonization strategy will help us maintain our refining and chemical assets among the most efficient and competitive in Europe. To continue optimizing our asset performance, we will carry on adopting new technological solutions that will enable us to achieve a 25% reduction in emissions from the Refining business by 2025, in addition to the 23% cut already obtained from 2010 to 2017.
The circular economy is at the heart of our strategy for both businesses. Our Refining area will double production of high-quality biofuels from vegetable oils (HVO), while our Chemicals business aims to achieve 20% recycled content in its polyolefins by 2030. At the same time, Refining will integrate renewable energies into its operations, producing green hydrogen and using electricity from renewable sources.
Naturally, Repsol will continue to be a leading player in sustainable mobility, providing a multi-energy offer that includes increasingly efficient gasoline and diesel and alternative fuels such as AutoGas, compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas. We shall, of course, continue to deploy new electric charging points at our service stations: this is a business we intend to lead in all markets where we are present.
Our strategy is already earning recognition from investors worldwide. I would like to highlight the Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI), an association that brings together 60 of the largest international investors, and which has recognized us as the first of only two companies in the industry with a strategy consistent with the Paris Agreement.
It is also worth mentioning that the Climate Action 100+ initiative, a group of over 450 international investors managing more than 39 billion, late last year recognized the company's efforts in this area. And Standard & Poor's named Repsol among the companies in its industry with the most advanced sustainability strategy, with high praise for the diversification of our businesses and for our firm commitment to the Paris Agreement.
As you can see, the market is confident that we can achieve our goals. We are convinced that the time was right for setting ourselves more ambitious targets in the fight against climate change, and only by addressing the great challenges before us with strategic clarity can we turn them into opportunities. We are sure that this will strengthen our common project, making it more attractive, sustainable, and profitable.
Thank you for your trust.

New strategic approach: climate change and energy transition
2019 marked the beginning of a new phase for Repsol after having been a pioneer in the sector, committing to the fight against climate change and the energy transition in line with the objectives of the Paris Summit and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
Repsol aims to be a zero emissions company in 2050 and, until then, progressively reduce its carbon intensity indicator (taking 2016 as the base year, 10% in 2025, 20% in 2030 and 40% in 2040).
Repsol will orient its strategy, investments and business plans towards achieving these objectives, ensuring the sustainability and value creation of its businesses, both in the long and short term, as part of the energy transition.
In Upstream, to preserve and optimize asset value, priority will be accorded to creating value over production growth, maintaining flexibility as a strategic vector, and focusing on the rotation and improvement of the asset portfolio and on cash generation.
In Downstream, projects associated with lowcarbon electricity generation will be promoted, increasing their capacity target to 7,500 MW by 2025. In Refining, an additional 25% reduction in direct emissions will be undertaken by 2025 and biofuel production will double to 600,000 tons per year by 2030. In Chemicals, the Company is committed to efficiency in the industrial process and moving toward the circular economy, with the ambition of achieving 20% recycled content in all of its polyolefins by 2030.

In a context of a slower economy and rising geopolitical uncertainty, the financial performance of our businesses reflects volatile and declining hydrocarbon prices and weaker industrial indicators.
Results
| (Millions of euros) | 2019 | 2018 | ∆ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upstream | 1,050 | 1,325 | (21%) |
| Downstream | 1,456 | 1,583 | (8%) |
| Corporate and other | (464) | (556) | 17% |
| Adjusted net income | 2,042 | 2,352 | (13%) |

| Net result | (3,816) | 2,341 | - |
Upstream results (1,050 million euros, 21% down on 2018) were hard hit by lower prices for crude oil and, especially, gas, only partly offset by lower costs.
Downstream results (1,456 million euros, 8% down on 2018) remain strong, albeit losing some ground year-on-year due to weaker Refining and Chemicals performance in Spain (owing to maintenance shutdowns and thinner margins) and Gas Wholesaling and Trading (gas prices in North America and Europe). These declines were partly offset by better results in other businesses, especially Trading, Mobility (service stations) and Electricity.
Results improved in the Corporate division due to lower corporate structure and borrowing costs.

low carbon generation capacity by 2025
Financial strength
- Businesses facing a tough market context
- Increased operating cash flow
- Healthy debt levels
Business growth
- Big discoveries in Indonesia and Alaska
- Improved Refining products (advanced biofuels, low-sulfur fuel)
- 1 million Electricity and Gas subscribers and over 1.4 million Waylet platform users
Hence adjusted net income, a measure designed to reflect ordinary business profit, came to 2,042 million euros, 13% down on 2018.
The inventory effect, which updates the value of inventories with changes over the period in crude oil and petroleum product prices, came to -35 million euros.
Specific results (-5,823 million euros) it's worth mentioning the extraordinary write-downs of Upstream assets, mainly in North America, as a result of the adoption of assumptions of lower that crude oil and gas prices, consistent with recent dynamics in the oil and gas markets and the new scenarios of energy transitions and public policies aimed at the decarbonization of the economy, as well as the provisions to cover litigious risks.
The Group's net result for 2019 was thus negative (-3,816 million euros), owing to write-downs not involving immediate cash outflows. This will not impact shareholder remuneration, rising 5% vs. last year.
Cash flows from operations (5,837 million euros) was up 8% year-on-year, enabling us to cover investment, debt service, shareholder returns and our share buy-back program. Free cash flow was 2,060 million euros, versus 5,056 million euros in 2018 (which included the proceeds of the sale of Naturgy, 3,816 million euros).
Net debt including leases came to (8,083) million euros, making for leverage of 24.3%. Net debt ex leases was 4,220 million euros, versus 3,439 million euros at year-end 2018, for a leverage ratio of 13.9%. Available liquidity at year-end stood at 7,667 million euros. We held 80.8 million treasury shares.
For further information, see section 4. Financial performance.
Shareholder return
The returns offered to shareholders in 2019, in the form of a scrip dividend ("Repsol flexible dividend") came to €0.916 per share, 5% up on the previous year.
To improve returns to shareholders, in 2019, bought-back shares were redeemed in a capital reduction to offset the dilutive effect of the bonus share issue formalized in 2019 under the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" program.
In addition, the Board of Directors has decided to submit for approval at the next Annual General Meeting a proposal for capital reduction equal to 5% of share capital at December 31, 2018.
At the end of 2019, the share price was similar to the price at the end of December 2018 (-1%), despite the drop in hydrocarbon prices.
For more information, see Appendix 4.4. Shareholder return.
Business activities
In Upstream, against a backdrop of low crude oil and, in particular, gas prices, the businesses have prioritized the generation of value against the production volume, using cost reduction plans and the redefinition of asset operation plans that seek to reduce the break even. In addition, profitable growth has been pursued, to this end, special mention should be made of the discovery in Indonesia (Sakakemang), and in the United States (Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico), Malaysia and Norway, the start of production at Buckskin (Gulf of Mexico, USA) and Angelin (Trinidad and Tobago), the acquisition of productive assets (63% of Eagle Ford in the USA and 7.65% of Mikkel (Norway), the extension of the production contract in Corridor (Indonesia) new acreage in Indonesia, Norway, Brazil (subject to ratification), the United States, Russia and Greece, and the agreement reached with Shell and Gazprom

In Downstream, in the Refining business, a comprehensive maintenance and technological innovation program has been undertaken at the industrial facilities in Spain that will improve energy efficiency, the environmental impact and the feasibility of its operations, making it possible to harness the opportunities provided by the new fuel specifications (IMO). As a result of this, the production of advanced biofuels and fuels with a low sulfur content has been stepped up. In
Chemicals shutdowns at plants have also been contemplated to make it possible to adapt their production to the product differentiation strategy, the reduction of CO2 intensity and to focus on the circular economy.
In the commercial businesses, progress has been made with the definition of a multi-energy offer (growth in the marketing of electricity, more than one million clients, the development of an electrical mobility network, more than 230 public charging stations, including the first ultra-fast recharging stations in Spain and autogas stations), focusing on the client (improving the customer experience at service stations through new facility designs and the supply of premium, non-oil products, multiproduct commercial plans, etc.) leveraged on digitalization (the Waylet payment platform now has more than 1.4 million clients) and that is committed to decarbonization (new renewable electricity generation projects with a capacity of 921 MW) and international expansion (Mobility in Mexico, LPG in France, Lubricants in Southeast Asia). For more information, see section 5.2. Downstream.
The Digitalization program has invested more than €150 million per year, with more than 190 digital cases in the portfolio, of which over 60 had a direct impact on sustainable development goals. For more information, see section 6.5. Technology development for decarbonization.

Risk management More information
can be found in Annex II "Risks".
2.3. Risk
As a global integrated energy company, Repsol is exposed to risks that can affect its future performance. Such risks must be managed effectively in accordance with the established Risk Management Policy.
The Company has an organization, procedures and systems that allow it to reasonably manage the risks to which the group is exposed, such that risk management is an integral part of
decision-making processes in both corporate governance bodies and business management. The Integrated Risk Management System provides a comprehensive and reliable view of all risks that might affect the Company, which allows their joint management.
The Group's¹ main risks are identified below based on their importance in terms of finances, reputation and people taking into account a 5 year time horizon:

Main Risks
Relative reputational/person significance
Note: The risks identified in the diagram are described in Appendix II "Risks".
(1) Relative economic weight is measured in terms of loss at the 95th percentile (potential loss in scenario) according to distribution of probability of losses for each risk.
(2) See Note 11 of the 2019 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Some of these risks are sensitive to the phenomenon of climate change and to the scenarios of transition to a low carbon economy, particularly those associated with regulation, future trends in demand, fluctuations in hydrocarbon and other commodity prices and the potential upswing in competition. Given the emerging nature of the climate change risks in the current energy context, and consistently with the commitments made, the
Group is extending the scope of the analysis of these risks according to a long-term time horizon. This risk map is regularly updated and the Sustainability Committee and the Audit and Control Committee are informed of the methodology used and the risk profile. For further information on emerging risks and climate change, see section 6.1 Climate change.
1. The Group has a methodology that, by applying common metrics, allows it to obtain an overview of the key risks, classify them according to their materiality, characterize them in an understandable and robust manner, quantify the potential economic, reputational and human impact that each business unit or corporate area may sustain, including Repsol as a whole, should it materialize, and identify, where appropriate, effective mitigation measures.
2.4. Strategy
Following the early achievement of the targets set out in the Strategic Plan 2016-2020, in June 2018 an update for the 2018-2020 horizon was published
("the Plan"). The Plan is geared towards growth and value creation in any scenario1 , and is based on three pillars:

(1) Annualized compound growth rate
In 2019, the dividend was 5% higher than in 2018 and the capital reduction through the redemption of treasury shares was completed, aimed at offsetting the dilutive effect of the bonus share issues under the Repsol Flexible Dividend Program for 2019, in addition to proposed additional issues to be approved by stockholders at the Annual General Meeting (see section 4.4).
In November, coinciding with the Climate Summit held in Madrid, the Board of Directors reviewed the company's role in the fight against climate change and made progress in its commitment to lead the energy transition in the industry, in line with the objectives of the Paris Summit and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals of reducing the increase in the planet's temperature to less than two degrees Celsius with respect to pre-industrial levels.
Repsol will therefore focus its strategy on achieving its goal of being a company with net zero emissions by 2050, thus becoming the first in its industry to pursue this ambitious goal.
At the same time, it lays down a decarbonisation path by taking on a reduction in its carbon intensity indicator on the basis of the year 2016: of 10% in 2025, 20% in 2030 and 40% in 2040, to move towards net zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
These targets (for further information, see section 6.1 Climate Change) will serve as a basis for the new Strategic Plan 2020-2025 to be presented in the first half of 2020, and will involve directing strategy, activity and investment towards new and more demanding business plans:
Upstream
To achieve these targets, Repsol will focus its asset portfolio on compliance with the Paris Agreement, which implies prioritising value creation over production growth, maintaining flexibility as the strategic vector of the business, while focusing on the rotation and improvement of the asset portfolio and on cash generation.
This approach translates into a strategy of balancing oil and gas reserves, with a vision of gas as the energy for the energy transition, also taking into account the active role that oil must play in a more decarbonized world. For the evaluation of exploration and production decisions, the company assumes an oil and gas price curve compatible with the Paris Agreement and the scenario of a two degree reduction from pre-industrial levels (see Notes 3 and 21 to the 2019 consolidated financial statements).
Downstream
The determination to move towards decarbonization is reflected in the momentum of projects associated with the energy transition. The Company increased by 3,000 MW its low carbon electricity generation capacity target, to 7,500 MW by 2025, and began its expansion into other markets to become a major international player in renewable energies.

On December 31, 2019, Repsol had 2,952 MW in operation and 1,185 MW under development, and the Board of Directors approved in December new investments to incorporate and build two photovoltaic projects and one wind project for a total of an additional 1,600 MW. With these projects, the low carbon generation portfolio exceeds 5,700 MW.
In the industrial businesses, it is raising its decarbonization target, with a special focus on Refining, with an additional 25% reduction in direct emissions by 2025. This reduction is in addition to the 23% cut in CO2 emissions between 2010 and 2017.
Repsol will focus on the circular economy as a tool for the efficient use of resources, and will double the production of high quality biofuels from hydrogenated vegetable oils (HVO) to 600,000 tons per year by 2030, half of which will be produced by 2025 using waste.
Moreover, Repsol will integrate renewable energies into the Refining division's operations by producing green hydrogen and using electricity from renewable sources for its own industrial processes.
The Company's Chemicals business will also contribute decisively to a more decarbonized economy. Repsol is committed to efficient chemistry in its industrial process, guided by the circular economy, with the ambition of achieving 20% recycled content in all of its polyolefins by 2030.
Petrochemicals, present in most of our daily lives, will play a leading role in a less carbon-intensive scenario. Their benefits and uses include reducing the weight of materials and their contribution to
lower energy consumption in mobility, insulation of homes and buildings, which contributes to greater energy efficiency, improving food preservation conditions and offering more advanced products for healthcare and hospital uses. As a result, growing global demand for petrochemicals is expected to increase by 30% by 2030 and 40% by 2050.
In Mobility, we shall further develop our strategy as a multi-energy supplier focused on the customer, with an integrated value proposition, differentiated service and a commitment to digitalization to facilitate day-to-day management.
Progress will be made in the deployment of electric charging points, autogas, compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas at service stations and we shall continue to supplement electric supply with high-value services aligned with decarbonization, such as renewable self-generation.
2.5. Corporate governance
Repsol's system of corporate governance, which was established in accordance with best national and international practice and standards, guides the structure, organization, and operation of corporate bodies in the interests of the Company and of its shareholders, and is based on the principles of transparency, independence and responsibility.
The governance structure adequately differentiates governance and management functions from oversight, control, and strategic definition functions.

3. Context
3.1. Macroeconomic context
Recent economic trends
The world economy has experienced a marked slowdown during 2018 and 2019. Although in 2018 as a whole global expansion was 3.6%, the year began at 4% and fell to 3.2% in the second half.
During 2019, activity has continued to weaken, with growth standing at around 2.9%, the slowest pace since the international financial crisis.
The economic slowdown is due to the confluence of several factors that have fed back into each other: a) the escalation of trade tensions between the United States and China, which put pressure on their bilateral trade, hurt confidence and raised uncertainty at the global level, slowing down investment decisions and, with it, international trade; b) a sharp slowdown in automobile production and sales (a sector that accounts for 5.7% of world output), in a context of regulatory uncertainty; c) a slackening of investment and imports from China beyond trade tensions, associated with regulatory changes to curb non-bank credit growth.
As a result, growth in the advanced economies slowed from 2.2% in 2018 to around 1.7% in 2019. The pace of expansion in the United States remains relatively strong, but has slowed in recent quarters (by around 2% on an annualised basis) as the momentum generated by the 2018 tax cut fades.
GDP over time
Meanwhile, growth in the Euro Zone remains weak, hampered by lower exports and the adjustment of the automotive sector, although activity seems to be stabilizing at quarter-on-quarter rates. For 2019 as a whole, growth is expected to be 1.2%, significantly lower than the 1.9% rate for 2018.
In Spain, economic growth has also slowed more than expected during 2019, especially in privatesector consumption and investment in construction. It is estimated that there will be growth of approximately 2% in 2019, versus 2.4% in 2018.
Growth in the emerging economies is estimated to have slowed from 4.5% in 2018 to 3.7% in 2019, affected by the fall in trade and the stability of commodity prices.
Evolution of the exchange rate
In the first months of 2019, the US dollar continued to trend upward. This trend, which began in April 2018, is explained by the fact that, as growth in the Eurozone began to disappoint and that of the United States remained high, the interest rate differential came to the fore. This dynamic was aggravated by the increase in political risk in Europe due to the Brexit negotiations and the fiscal dispute in Italy. The euro/dollar rate reached a level of 1.09 at the end of September 2019.
However, the trend seems to have changed since then, with EURUSD stabilizing at around 1.11 in recent months. The reasons for this change are: i) a recent worsening of macro and confidence data in the United States; ii) a slight reduction in global risks (partial rapprochement between China and the United States on trade, less likelihood of a hard Brexit), but a greater focus on political uncertainty in the United States in the face of the impeachment trial against President Trump.

3.2. Energy landscape
Crude oil - Brent
In 2019, oil prices were highly volatile. Brent started the year at around USD 55/bbl and has now risen to over USD 75/bbl. In 2019, the average price of Brent crude was USD 64.2/bbl, representing a 10% decline from on the 2018 average, while the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude price averaged USD 57.0/bbl, with the Brent-WTI differential standing at USD 7.2/bbl.
On the supply side, the upward trend in the price early in the year was triggered by the decision by OPEC and a group of non-OPEC exporting countries to cut production by 1.2 million barrels per day (-0.8 OPEC and -0.4 non-OPEC), effective from January 1, 2019. The commitment to production cuts was significant, driven by the de facto leaders: Saudi Arabia on the OPEC side and Russia on the non-OPEC side. During the meeting of OPEC+ (the name by which this group of countries is known) on 1 and 2 July, it was decided to extend the production cut agreement until March 2020. At the December

- m) US attacks General Qasem Soleimani.

5-6 meeting, there was speculation that they will extend the agreement beyond March 2020 and/ or implement deeper production cuts than the 1.2Mbbl/d currently committed to reducing global oil inventories and thus sustaining prices.

Another relevant factor in world oil supply is the progress of non-conventional crude oil production in the USA. According to the latest available data published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), production of crude oil and natural gas liquids would increase by 1.6Mbbl/d in 2019 versus the previous year.
However, it is on the demand side that the greatest uncertainties lie. So far this year, most analysts, and especially the major official energy agencies, have revised downward their outlook for global demand growth in 2019. This review comes in response to the worsening economic outlook, particularly the decline in manufacturing confidence indices in the context of the US-China trade war. According to the latest IEA estimates, global oil demand will increase by 980 Kbbl/d by 2019. This contrasts with annual growth estimates published in June for the 2019 average of 1.2 Mbbl/d.
Natural Gas - Henry Hub
As to US natural gas, the average Henry Hub price was USD 2.6/MBtu, 16% lower than in 2018.
On the supply side, there was a significant increase in gas production associated with crude oil. The increase in oil output in the Permian Basin (Texas and New Mexico) has gas as a byproduct, which is saturating the US system and has placed inventories at peak levels for much of the year. Given this additional volume of associated gas, Permian gas is being sold even at a loss because of the need to evacuate it from the system, putting downward pressure on Henry Hub prices. This oversupply explains why the indicator has been trading all year long at levels well below 2018.
On the demand side, the slowdown in growth in China and (to a lesser extent) India directly impacted LNG trade by affecting imports from the United States. In the case of China, the slowdown in economic growth, combined with an unfavorable climate in the North for gas consumption and the halt in the switch from coal to gas for heating and power generation, hurt import demand and put downward pressure on prices.
As a result of the factors outlined above, the high level of inventories also exerted downward pressure on prices, which at the end of the year stood 16% below the level reached in 2018.

4. Financial performance and shareholder returns

4.0. Summary
Our performance in 2019 was hurt by a tough, volatile context shaped by a slower economy and rising geopolitical uncertainty, lower crude oil prices (Brent 64.2 vs. 71.3 in 2018) and lower gas prices (HH 2.6 vs. 3.1 in 2018, and sharp falls in other benchmark indices such as JKM and NBP), weaker industrial margins (the Refining margin indicator in Spain dropped from \$6.7/bbl in 2018 to \$5.0/bbl in 2019), while the international petrochemical margin index declined from €411/Tn to €376/Tn). On the other hand, the Company's metrics were boosted by a slight appreciation of the dollar against the euro (€/\$ 1.12 vs. 1.18 in 2018).
Net adjusted income came to 2,042 million euros, 13% less than in 2018, chiefly due to worse performance in the Upstream segment (lower crude oil and gas prices), in Refining and Chemicals (maintenance shutdowns and thinner margins) and gas Marketing and Trading (prices). However, Trading, Mobility and Electricity showed stronger financial performance, while corporate expenses and borrowing costs also improved.
The net result of -3,816 million euros reflects the major write-downs in the closing quarter (-4,849 million euros) mainly of Upstream assets, as well as the impact of provisions to cover litigious risks.
Cash flow from operations (5,837 million euros) exceeded the 2018 figure by (+8%), and allows for covering net investment (3,777 million euros), payment of interest and dividends and share buybacks. The year ended with net debt including leases of 8,083 million euros (4,220 million euros ex leases), making for a leverage ratio of 23.7% (13.9% ex leases).

Upstream
Average production (709 kbep/day, 1% in line with previous year), exploration activity (16 exploration wells and 8 delineation/appraisal wells, 9 showing positive results) and production activity (new wells conection in Marcellus, Duvernay and Akacias, start-up of Buckskin in the Gulf of Mexico; acquisition of Eagle Ford and Mikkel, inter alia) are discussed in section 5.1. Upstream.
Adjusted net income in the Upstream segment was 1,050 million euros, less than in 2018 (1,325 million euros), as explained in the following figure, due to:
- lower realization prices for crude oil (-11%) and, especially, gas (-15%), dragging down results in the United States, Peru, Norway, Brazil and Trinidad and Tobago;
- lower sales volume, chiefly due to lesser production as a result of safety shutdowns in Libya, maintenance in Brazil, Malaysia and Trinidad and Tobago, and weaker demand in Venezuela;
cash flows from operations €5,837M
Upstream investments
23%

(1) Includes, but is not limited to, costs associated with production and income from investees and non-controlling interests.
- lower taxes on production and hydrocarbon royalties in line with declining prices and volumes;
- lower exploration costs, mainly for dry wells in Bolivia, Norway, Guyana, Indonesia and Bulgaria, due to a more successful exploration campaign;
- higher amortization/depreciation costs as a result of the new accounting standard on leases (IFRS 16), which are now shown as license amortization charges rather than lease operating costs;
- lower "other" costs due to the impact of IFRS 16 on leases and reduced employee costs;
- lower income tax as a result of lower operating earnings (effective rate 48%, as in 2018); and
- positive effect of exchange rates, with the dollar strengthening against the euro
Upstream EBITDA was 4,255 million euros, 11% down year-on-year, hurt by worse operating performance, and partly offset by the effect of IFRS 16 Leases.
Investment in 2019 (2,429 million euros) rose 23% year-on-year, with a focus on production facilities and/or assets under development, mainly in the United States (including acquisition of 63% of Eagle Ford), Norway, Trinidad and Tobago and the United Kingdom.
Downstream
Adjusted net income in 2019 was 1,456 million euros, compared to 1,583 million euros for the same period of 2018.
As shown in the figure on the next page, the change was chiefly due to:
- Worse performance at Refining Spain due to smaller sales (maintenance shutdowns), thinner margins (worse differential between crude and light products) and higher overheads (amortization/depreciation of new investments, CO2). Refining Peru, however, improved its performance owing to stronger margins in the local market on low-sulfur fuels production;
- Trading saw improved margins on crude, LPG, and biodiesel transactions and on fleet management;
- In Chemicals, the retreat in margins in the closing quarter was partly offset by bigger sales and fewer operational incidents;
- The Commercial Businesses performed similarly to last year. Improved results in Mobility (service stations in Spain, Portugal and Mexico) and Electricity and Lubricant (asphalts) were dragged down by underperformance in Gas Wholesaling and Trading (gas prices) and LPG (milder winter).
Downstream EBITDA came to 3,057 million euros (vs. 2,859 million euros in the same period of 2018).



(1) Mainly the effect of negative consolidation adjustments to eliminate intra-Group transactions between different Downstream business units.
Investment was 1,376 million euros (vs. 1,831 million euros in 2018, which included 733 million euros for the acquisition of Viesgo), and allocated to energy efficiency, safety and environmental improvements. Additionally, investments by the international expansion in Mexico (Service Stations) and Southeast Asian (Lubricants) and renewable projects of the Electricity and Gas business.
Corporate division and other
Cumulative results for 2019 came to -464 million euros (-556 million euros in 2018). The Corporate division continues to lower corporate and structure costs, except as regards digitalization and technology initiatives. The financial result was better owing to lowered borrowing costs and more favorable foreign exchange positions, despite the uptick in financial expenses due to application of IFRS 16.
Net income and profitability
Adjusted net income, which was 2,042 million euros (vs. 2,352 million euros in 2018), must have the following effects added to it:
- Inventory effect: (-35 million euros) reflects changes in the price of crude and petroleum products in the period.
- Specific results: (-5,823 million euros)mainly reflects extraordinary write-downs (see following sub-section) and provisions, to cover litigious risks regarding ongoing Addax arbitration (-837 million euros)(see Note 15 of consolidated Financial Statements).

Asset write-downs and impairments
Throughout the year 2019 it has been consolidating a new vision of the future dynamics of Oil&Gas markets, which can be summarized at weaker prices, marked by a demand without enough push to compensate for abundant supply, especially of gas; of the same In this way, the expectations of a progressive decarbonization of the economy, driven by a growing social concern for the consequences of climate change and, about all, for the public policies announced for promote an energy transition that fosters renewable sources and low emissions of gases from greenhouse effect.
In this context, for the realization of the annual test of impairment of assets, Repsol has revised downwards expectations of future prices of oil and gas, the expected cost of emissions has increased of CO2 and has reduced future estimates of consumption of hydrocarbon products, such as consequence of::
- New dynamics of oil markets and gas that have meant a downward pressure about crude oil prices and especially gas: global demand slowdown; structural increase in the production of gas in the US, especially for use of gas associated with shale oil, and new gas discoveries in other places of the world; global supply increase of LNG and less intense demand, especially in China.
- New public policies aimed at decarbonization of the economy and therefore to the fossil fuel use restriction and to the development of new alternative technologies, that drive the energy transition and suppose a decrease in expectations of medium and long hydrocarbon consumption term..
By assuming these new scenarios so realistic and responsible, Repsol may anticipate the consequences and seize the opportunities of the energy transition, guaranteeing sustainability and optimizing the value of their business and investments. This new orientation in business management will be done accordingly with the objective of zero net emissions in the year 2050 and the new strategic orientation (see section 2.4) aligned with the climate objectives of the Agreement of Paris and United Nations that pretend limit global warming below of the two degrees Celsius relative to levels preindustrial.
Without prejudice to the adaptation of the strategy from the Company to this new scenario guarantee creating business value, adoption for its annual deterioration test of the new hypothesis, especially
of lower future prices of gas, has implied the registration of sanitation extraordinary of the book value of some assets, whose detail by business segment is as follows:
| TOTAL after tax | (4,849) |
|---|---|
| TOTAL before tax | (6,095) |
| Other Downstream assets | (56) |
| Tax credits | (104) |
| Gas & Trading North America | 229 |
| Downstream | 69 |
| Tax creditss | (470) |
| Assets undergoing exploration or development (1) | (786) |
| Goodwill | (793) |
| Production assets | (4,115) |
| Upstream | (6,164) |
| (Millions of euros) | 2019 |
(1) Excludes negative exploration results already amortized or covered by provisions in the ordinary course of business and recognized as exploration costs within adjusted net income for the Upstream segment.
The main impairments (before tax) in the Upstream segment were:
• Production assets (-4,115 million euros)
| Impairments before tax | (Millions of euros) | |
|---|---|---|
| North America | (3,572) | |
| Southeast Asia | 80 | |
| Latin America | (414) | |
| Europe and North Africa | (209) | |
| TOTAL | (4,115) |
Impairments mostly concentrate in onshore assets in North America, which were hurt by the special conditions of the gas market in the United States and Canada.
- Exploration and development assets (-786 million euros) in Vietnam, Brazil, Papua New Guinea, Algeria, Russia and Indonesia.
- Goodwill (-793 million euros) arising from the Repsol Oil&Gas Canada Inc. business combination.
- Tax credits (-470 million euros) as a result of new price scenarios, mainly in North America, that make recovery less likely.
In the Downstream segment, 229 million euros of a pre-tax impairment was reversed (net of the onerous contracts provision) in the North America Gas & Trading business (mainly the Canaport regasification plant and the pipelines for gas transport in North America) in light of the forecast performance of gas volumes, prices and margins.
The absence of material impairments in the Downstream segment proves the quality of our

assets and our business models' ability to adapt to stringent new sustainable development scenarios.
For further information on impairments and write-downs in the period, see Note 21 of the 2019 consolidated Financial Statements.
4.2. Cash flows
| Cash flows (Millions of euros) | 2019 | 2018 |

| EBITDA | 7,161 | 7,513 |
| Changes in working capital | (67) | (806) |
| Dividends received | 66 | 20 |
| Income tax refunded/(paid) | (1,047) | (845) |
| Other receipts/(payments) | (276) | (454) |
| I. Cash flow from operationss | 5,837 | 5,428 |
| Payments for investments | (3,953) | (3,866) |
| Receipts from investments | 176 | 3,494 |
| II. Cash flow from investing activities | (3,777) | (372) |

| Dividends and other equity instruments | (396) | (297) |
| Net interest and leases | (508) | (458) |
| Treasury shares(1) | (1,843) | (1,595) |
| Cash generated | (687) | 2,706 |
(1) Includes 820 million euros of buy-backs in addition to the 2019 buyback round.
In 2019, cash flow from operations (5,837 million euros) was (+8%) on 2018. Lower EBITDA figures at business units were positively impacted by a lesser change in working capital, mainly in the Downstream segment (improved inventory working capital at the industrial businesses and Trading). Cash flow from operations was sufficient to cover investment, interest and dividend payments, and share buy-backs for the year.
Cash flow from investing activities (-3,777
million euros) reflects our investment in the new businesses operated by Repsol Electricidad y Gas, early investment in the Refining system to ensure maximum capacity is available in 2020 with the addition of IMO and international expansion in the Downstream segment (Mobility Mexico and Lubricants), and expenditure on production assets in the Upstream segment, mainly in North America (including acquisition of 63% of Eagle Ford), Norway and Trinidad and Tobago.
Therefore, after paying borrowing costs (-508 million euros), shareholder return (-396 million euros) and share buy-backs (-1,843 million euros, including 820 million euros additional to 2019 treasury share redemptions), cash generated came to -687 million euros.
Free cash flow in 2019 came to 2,060 million euros versus 5,056 million euros in 2018 (which included 3,816 million euros of proceeds of sale of our interest in Naturgy).
4.3. Financial position
In 2019, measures allowing for solid debt and leverage levels continued.
In line with its policy of financial prudence and its commitment to maintaining a high degree of liquidity, the funds held in cash by the Group at the end of the year and available credit lines amply exceed the maturity dates of its short-term debt.
The year saw the first application of IFRS 16, which led to changes in how the Group measures debt (for more information, see Note 3 to the 2019 consolidated Financial Statements and Appendix II to this Report).

Change in net debt
free cash flow €2,060M
(1) Includes finance leases recognized under the previous standard (1,624 million euros) and leases recognized after application of IFRS 16 (2,103 million euros). (2) Includes new leases signed in the period, other receipts/(payments) from operations and translation differences.
Indebtedness
Net debt at December 31, 2019 (4,220 million euros) and with leases (8,083 million euros) increased by 781 million and 917 million euros, respectively, with respect to 2018.
The composition and maturity of gross non-lease debt (EUR 10,459 million) at December 31, 2019 was as follows: Net debt


The maturity dates for gross debt are as follows:

(1) Issues guaranteed by Repsol, S.A. and carried out within the EMTN and Universal Shelf Prospectus programs.
Main funding operations
The main transactions in 2019 were:
- In February, we redeemed at maturity a bond issued by Repsol International Finance, B.V. (RIF) in January 2012 under the European Medium Term Notes (EMTN) Issuance Program for a nominal amount of €1,000 million and a fixed annual coupon of 4.875%.
- In July, a bond issued by RIF in July 2016 for a nominal amount of €100 million, with a fixed annual coupon of 0.125%, was redeemed at maturity as part of the EMTN Program.
- In August, RIF issued bonds guaranteed by Repsol, S.A., as part of the EMTN Program, for an amount of €750 million, with a fixed annual coupon of 0.25% and maturing in August 2027.
Liquidity
Group liquidity, including committed and undrawn credit facilities, stood at €7,667 million at December 31, 2019, which is enough to cover its short-term gross debt maturities by a factor of 1.5. Repsol had undrawn credit lines amounting to €1,818 and €2,265 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Treasury shares and own equity investments
In 2019, a highlight was the acquisition under the Repsol share buy-back program of approximately 4.56% of Repsol's share capital at December 31. Those shares were redeemed in order to offset the dilutive effect of the bonus share issue launched during the year under the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" program (see section 4.4).
In addition, as part of the discretionary treasury shares operation, shares representing approximately 3.6% of share capital were acquired for use as required for any capital reductions that may occur in 2020.
At year-end 2019 the Group held treasury shares (80.8 million shares) representing 5.16% of share capital. For further information, see Note 7.2 "Treasury shares and own equity investments"
of the consolidated Financial Statements.
Average payment period to suppliers
The average payment period to suppliers for the Group's Spanish companies was 24 days in 2019, which is the maximum 60-day limit stipulated by Law 15/2010, of July 5 (amended by final provision two of Law 31/2014), which establishes measures to combat late payment in commercial transactions. For further information, see Note 19 "Trade and other payables" of the consolidated Financial Statements.
4.4. Returns to shareholders
Repsol does not have a formal policy on dividends, and the Company's decisions on remuneration of shareholders depend on various factors, including the performance of its businesses and its operating results.
The remuneration received by shareholders in 2019 and 2018 under the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" program1 is as follows:
- Return of € 0.916 per share2 in 2019. Repsol paid a total gross amount of 398 million euros to shareholders and delivered 71,394,987 new shares, for an equivalent amount of 1,017 million euros, to those who opted to receive new shares in the company.
- Return of € 0.873 per share3 in 2018. Repsol paid a total gross amount of 253 million euros to shareholders and delivered 68,777,683 new shares, for an equivalent amount of 1,095 million euros, to those who opted to receive new shares in the company.
In November 2019, a capital reduction was carried out through the redemption of treasury shares, approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in 2019, to offset the dilutive effect of the bonus share issue formalised in 2019 under the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" programme.
On July 23, 2019, the Board of Directors decided to lay before stockholders, for their approval at the next Annual General Meeting, a proposal to reduce share capital by an amount equivalent to 5% of capital as of December 31, 2018, through the redemption of treasury shares. This proposed capital reduction is independent from that which may be submitted at the next Annual General Meeting within the context of stockholder remuneration under the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" program.

In addition, in January 2020, under that program, replacing what would have been the interim dividend from 2019 profits, Repsol paid out 107 million euros in cash (€0.424 gross per right) to those stockholders opting to sell their bonus share rights back to the Company, and delivered 38,647,825 shares, worth 541 million euros, to those opting to take their dividend in the form of new shares.
At the date of the authorization for issue of the Management Report, the Board of Directors is expected to submit a proposal to stockholders at the next Annual General Meeting to continue the "Repsol Flexible Dividend" program, through the implementation of a bonus share issue on the same dates as those on which the company has traditionally paid the final dividend and the relevant share capital reduction through the redemption of treasury shares to offset the dilutive effect of those share capital increases.
Our share price
In 2019, Repsol's shares were weighed down by a highly volatile environment, macroeconomic uncertainties and underperformance of the Ibex, Spain's stock exchange index, as against the leading European indices.
The first ten months of the year saw positive share performance, with a 10% rise, reflecting the strength of the Company's integrated model in a highly volatile environment and the market's welcome to improved stockholder remuneration through share buybacks.
However, in the last two months of the year, a worsening of geopolitical tensions and a drastic drop in the international price of gas penalized share performance, with a 1% decline with respect to yearend 2018.

Period highlights
2019 was a year marked by low crude oil prices and, in particular, gas. Repsol has prioritized the generation of value over production, focusing its efforts on improving efficiency, lowering the cash breakeven and optimizing the portfolio.
- Average production reached 709 Kboe/d in 2019, in line with the previous year (-6.6 Kboe/d; -7 Kbbl/d in liquids and +0.4 Kboe/d in gas). This decrease was mainly attributable to Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, Libya, Shenzi (USA) and divestments in the USA (Midcontinent), and was partly offset by production from new wells in Marcellus (US), Duvernay (Canada) and Akacias (Colombia), acquisitions in Norway (Mikkele) and the United States (Eagle Ford), and the start-up of production at Buckskin (US).
- Exploration campaign: in 2019, 16 exploratory and 8 delineation/appraisal drillings have been completed, 9 with positive results (5 exploratory
in the United States, Indonesia, 2 in Malaysia and Norway and 4 of appraisal in the USA), 10 with negative results (8 exploratory in Bulgaria, 3 in Colombia and 2 in Norway , Guyana and Indonesia and 2 of appraisal in Algeria) and 5 with results under evaluation.
- Acreage: acquisition of 2 blocks in Indonesia (exploratory, operated), 1 block in Greece (exploratory, operated), 6 blocks in Norway: 3 new blocks and an extension in the APA Round (concessions in predefined areas) 2018 and two acquired (Mikkel Field), 24 blocks in USA (7 in the Gulf of Mexico and 17 in Alaska). In addition, 4 blocks were obtained in Brazil pending official ratification at December 31.
- The net addition of proven reserves in 2019 was 58 Mboe, mainly from extensions and discoveries, and acquisitions in North America and the total reserve replacement ratio was 23% in 2019.

Period highlights
• United States: positive exploratory campaign in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico, start of production in Buckskin and purchase of Equinor's stake in Eagle Ford
The presence of hydrocarbons has been confirmed in the southern part of the Pikka unit in Alaska, where the first delineation well known as Pikka-B was completed in January and the Pikka-C appraisal drilling was completed in April, both with positive results.
In late April, an important discovery was announced at the Blacktip exploration well, located in deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico (USA) 400 km south of Houston, with a net crude area more than 122 meters thick. Repsol has an 8.5% stake in this hydrocarbon discovery in the Alaminos Canyon basin, alongside Shell (operator), Chevron and Equinor. The project is in the phase of appraisal and delineation of reserves. The Blacktip-1 ST1 appraisal drilling was also positive in June.
In June, hydrocarbon production began in the Buckskin deepwater project (in which Repsol holds a 22.5% stake, LLOG being the operator) in the Keathley Canyon area in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
In November, Repsol reached an agreement with Equinor to acquire its 63% stake in Eagle Ford, a production asset located in Texas, United States, for USD 352 million. In this way, Repsol will control 100% of the assets and will be its operator. This additional stake in the asset will allow for improvements in operational efficiencies and synergies. This transaction adds approximately 280 net square kilometers and 34 kbep/d, bringing total production after the deal to around 54 kbep/d. This acquisition is in line with the 2018-2020 Strategic Plan, which identifies North America as a key area due to its advanced infrastructure and stable regulatory framework. For further information, see Note 5 of the consolidated Financial Statements.
• Mexico: approval of investment plans 2019-2022 In June, the Mexican National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) approved the 2019-2022 investment plans submitted by Repsol (as operator) for Areas 10 ,14 and 29, with Repsol holding 40%, 50% and 30% respectively, located in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, awarded in January 2018. These plans include the drilling of four exploration wells in the period 2020-2021, as well as geological studies.
• Canada: drop in average gas production
The average daily production for the year was 57,768 Boe/d, compared to 61,483 Boe/d in 2018.

• Indonesia: the country's largest gas discovery in the Sakakemang block and signing of the new contract in Corridor
In February, the largest gas discovery in Indonesia in 18 years was announced; it is also one of the 10 largest in the world of the past 12 months. The well, called Kaliberau Dalam-2X (KBD-2X), is located in the Sakakemang onshore block on the southern island of Sumatra. Repsol is the operator with a 45% stake. This discovery has a preliminary estimate of recoverable resources of at least 2 billions cubic feet (TCF) of gas. In August, preliminary work began on the development of this gas field. A memorandum of understanding has been signed with ConocoPhillips, the operator of the Corridor PSC, to work together on the feasibility of piping the Sakakemang gas through the Corridor facilities, given that this project is only about 20 km away, which would make it possible to speed up gas extraction and take advantage of synergies using existing facilities.
In July, Repsol signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the marketing of natural gas from the Sakakemang area with the company PGN. The signing of this MoU represents a key milestone for the development of Sakakemang.
In November, the new 20-year contract for Corridor's PSC (Production Sharing Contract) in Indonesia was officially signed with the partners in this project: ConocoPhillips and Pertamina. Corridor is located in South Sumatra. Currently, Repsol has a 36% stake in the PSC that would end on December 19, 2023. During the 20-year extension, Repsol's stake will be reduced to 21.6% to accommodate a greater role for the national oil company, Pertamina, which will increase its stake from the current 10% to 30%, and a local public company, which will take a 10% stake. Pertamina also obtains the right to take over the operations of ConocoPhillips from 2026.
The Corridor PSC makes a significant contribution to Repsol in terms of production and annual free cash flow generation, making it one of the company's most important assets.
In December, the state-owned company Petronas acquired 49% of Repsol's stake in the offshore Andaman III block, which previously stood at 100%.
• Russia: deal with Gazprom Neft and Shell for joint exploration of two blocks in Siberia
In June Repsol signed a memorandum of understanding with Gazprom Neft and Shell to form a joint venture for the exploration of two adjoining license blocks, Leskinsky and Pukhutsyayakhsky, located in the peninsula of Gyudan on the coast of Siberia. Gazprom Neft will have a 50% stake and Repsol and Shell 25% each. The agreement is expected to be completed in 2020 when the corresponding authorizations are in place.
In December, a joint venture was entered into with Gazprom Neft to perform geological explorations in six license blocks in the area of Karabashsky in the autonomous region of Khanty-Mansi, in southwest Siberia. This synergy, with which Repsol acquired a 50.1% stake in the capital of Karabashsky-6 LLC, will make it possible to continue the expansion of prospecting work in Russia and, in the future, production.
• Malaysia: discovery in the PM-03 CAA block
In May, the Bunga Saffron-1 and Bunga Saffron-1 ST1 wells, located in the offshore PM-03 CAA block, were drilled with positive results. Repsol is the operator with a 35% stake.

Period highlights: Europe
• Bulgaria: new exploration block acquired
In April, the acquisition was announced of 20% of the Khan Kubrat offshore exploration block in Bulgaria, with Shell participating as operator with 50% and Woodside Petroleum taking the remaining 30%.
• Greece: signing of a new exploration contract
In April, Repsol signed an exploration contract in Greece for the offshore Ionian block (located in the Ionian Sea north of Kefalonia and west of the islands of Lefkada and Corfu), thus increasing Repsol's presence in this country where it already has two other onshore blocks. The Ionian block has an area of 6,671 km2. Repsol has a 50% stake (operator) while the Greek company Hellenic holds the remaining 50%.
• Norway: new awards, extensions, acquisitions and exploratory discovery
In January, the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy announced that Repsol would be awarded stakes in three new exploration licenses and the extension of an existing one. The
new licenses are located in the large Egersund Basin (2) and the Barents Sea (1) and further strengthen Repsol's position in the country.
In February Repsol announced a deal to acquire from Total 7.65% of the Mikkel field in Norway, which currently produces a total of 50 thousand barrels of crude oil equivalent per day.
In March, an exploration discovery was made with the Telesto well (7.7% Repsol) in the PL 120 production license located in the Tampen area, in the North Sea (Norway). Repsol participated in this oil discovery together with Equinor (operator), Petoro and ConocoPhillips. The early estimate is that the recoverable resources could be between 12 and 28 million barrels of oil.
In August, the Norwegian authorities greenlighted the extension of the lifetime of the Rev field facilities (Repsol is the operator and has a 70% share) until April 1, 2021, when the current production license expires.

Performance
The refining margin index in Spain in 2019 stood at \$5.0 per barrel, lower than in 2018 (\$6.7 per barrel). For Peru, the annual refining margin index stood at USD 6.2 per barrel, compared to USD 3.0 per barrel in 2018.
In 2019, volatility drove international refining margins. The increase in global demand was worse than expected due to the slowdown in the economy and trade relations between the United States and China. On the supply side, a large number of new projects were launched (especially in Asia), which was partially offset by an increase in maintenance shutdowns to maximize operation and profitability in the face of the new regulatory scenario regarding IMO specifications for marine fuel. This balance, together with additional
disruptions, such as the attacks on Saudi Arabia, the contamination of Ural oil and the closure of the Philadelphia refinery, led to sharp variations in the margin throughout the year. In Peru, the indicator was impacted by price mechanisms in the country.
In this context, the Group's refineries in Spain processed 39.6 million tons of crude oil, 5% less than in 2018, and their average use of distillation was 88% in Spain compared with 93% the previous year, thus maintaining high utilization levels. In Peru, the level of use was lower than in 2018, rising from 81.7% to 74.8% in 2019.
In 2019, shutdowns were conducted at the refineries in A Coruña, Bilbao, Cartagena and Puertollano:
- In A Coruña, multiple investments were made in technological innovation and safety, aimed at improving the integrity, energy efficiency and operational effectiveness of the facilities. The coke unit concentrated most of the actions.
- The Bilbao Refinery conducted a conversion shutdown dedicated to the maintenance and updating of production facilities, a highlight being the environmental improvements implemented in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit, resulting in reduced particulate emissions. In addition, a shutdown was conducted to improve the efficiency of the units, such as Refinery 1, for investments in technology and improving efficiency, a highlight being the installation of an air pre-heater in the crude oil furnace to improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2.
- In Cartagena, fuel and HDT shutdowns were carried out, with investments aimed at improving efficiency and reliability.
- In Puertollano, the Distillation area was shut down to improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and make the facilities more reliable and competitive. A standout was the investment in a new crude oil preheating system in the furnace of the distillation unit.
Additionally, in 2019, the following initiatives are to be highlighted:
- We achieved record biofuel use (1.5 million m3 ) and started to use advanced commercial biofuels made from industrial and domestic waste. This line of work mitigated atmospheric emissions by 2.8 Mt of CO2. Use of advanced biofuels may bring emissions savings of up to 90% compared to other automotive fuels.
- Start-up of the Monoboya T4 terminal at the La Pampilla refinery has begun, which will reduce costs due to inclement maritime weather.

crude oil processed in 2019 at refineries in Spain
• At the Group's refineries (Spain and Peru), 200,000 tons of the new marine fuel were produced with a reduced sulfur content (0.5%), in accordance with the new specification (IMO) which is compulsory from January 1, 2020.

In 2019, a total of 1,635 vessels were chartered (1,489 in 2018) and 374 voyages were made through the fleet in Time Charter (333 in 2018).
Sustainability performance
With regard to safety and the environment, in 2019 the vetting area consolidated the review of the safety and environmental protection management systems of the Technical Operators of time charter vessels using the reference to the OCIMF-TMSA.
In addition, the following initiatives have been carried out:
- Member of the ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) Association, which promotes the responsible development of society through the production of sustainable biomass in the context of environmentally appropriate, climate-friendly, socially acceptable, economically viable and traceable use. Repsol also extended the ISCC EU certification for the Singapore office.
- Registration as an agent, dealer and transporter of both hazardous and non-hazardous waste in compliance with Law 22/2011. In addition, Repsol aims to obtain registration in the SANDACH register for the marketing of animal by-products unsuitable for consumption for the manufacture of second-generation biofuels and to obtain ISCC PLUS certification, which will enable the Company to enter other sectors of the circular economy, such as petrochemicals, bio-plastics and sustainable packaging.

5.2.4. Gas Wholesaling and Trading
Assets and operations
On 31 December 2019, the Group has regasification and transport assets in its North American marketing businesses, including the Canaport regasification plant and the Canadian and US gas pipelines.
In the North East United States, where natural gas supply is usually restricted, cold weather scenarios can cause significant spikes in the area's reference prices. The company's activity in this area focuses on optimizing the margin from marketing of regasified LNG from Canaport and concentrating gas sales on days with the highest prices in the winter (peaks).
Additionally, Repsol markets and trades natural gas in North America from its own production in the United States (Marcellus) and Canada (Alberta), as well as production acquired from third parties.
Performance
| 2019 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|
| Regasified LNG (TBtu) at Canaport (100%) | 24 | 16 |
| Gas marketed in North America (TBtu) | 608 | 520 |
In 2019, commercial activity in the North East United States was conducted in a context characterized by low price volatility during the winter and moderate temperatures. The realization margin was protected by the use of hedges. In the rest of North America, natural gas sales benefited from the high volatility on the West Coast during the first quarter of the year, and from low temperatures in the North Central United States. The marketing and trading of natural gas in the Gulf region of the United States from our proprietary facility in Marcellus continues to develop strongly.
Furthermore, Gas Wholesaling and Trading covers the gas supply requirements of the Repsol Group's electricity generation and industrial facilities, natural gas marketing in Spain and LNG trading. Outside North America, therefore, we marketed 206 TBtu. The gas volume managed in Spain accounted for 13% of the total Spanish market by volume. To securely underpin this supply, Repsol has in place medium and long-term gas/LNG contracts that are combined and optimized with LNG and Gas trading transactions in the Spanish system (PVB hub).
The main milestones for 2019 are as follows:
North America:
- A long-term gas sales contract was signed with a gas distribution company in the North East United States. This is in addition to the two long-term contracts signed in 2018.
- Expansion in natural gas trading in North America, increasing the volume marketed in the different regions and with a significant growth in economic contribution margin with respect to 2018.
Spain:
- Signing of the first contract in Spain for the supply of liquefied gas as fuel for the ships of the Brittany Ferries line, which operate on the route between the United Kingdom and Spain. The supply will be implemented at the ports of Bilbao and Santander from 2022 through fixed storage facilities.
- Several small-scale LNG supply operations have been carried out through the use of cisterns (at both LNG facilities and ships).

- In Direct Sales, 2019 was a year of tough competition in the market that resulted in a drop in volume compared to 2018.
- In International Aviation, the increase in sales and results compared to the previous year is noteworthy, with good performance in all countries (Spain, Portugal and Peru).
- In Portugal, the Service Stations and Direct Sales businesses continued to perform well despite a harsher competitive environment.
The milestones of 2019 were:
- The Waylet payment app topped 1.4 million registered users, who can use the app to make payment at more than 3,500 service stations in the Repsol network, more than 4,600 affiliated retail outlets and 250 El Corte Inglés establishments thanks to a deal that reinforces the strategic alliance between the two groups.
- The expansion project for Direct Sales and International Aviation in France gathered momentum.
- The expansion plan in Mexico ended the year with 234 service stations operating out of a total of 341 flag contracts.
- We unveiled the first ultra-fast charging point for electric vehicles on the Iberian Peninsula, with a maximum power of 700 kW. The service station, located in Lopidana, Álava, allows electric vehicles to be recharged within five to ten minutes. In October the service station in Ugaldebieta, Biscay, was added to the project; it is now the most powerful facility of its kind in Europe, allowing a vehicle to be recharged with up to 400 kW. This means that Repsol's charging network has more than 230 publicly accessible charging points.
- Repsol and the Confortauto workshop network (110 facilities throughout Spain) have signed an alliance to facilitate the adaptation of gasoline vehicles to LPG. The DGT environmental label thus obtained allows drivers access to trafficrestricted areas in large capitals.

5.2.5.3. Lubricants, asphalts and specialized products
Production is mainly concentrated in Spain, although in the case of lubricants and following the acquisition in 2019 of 40% of United Oil and in 2018 of 40% of Bardahl, lubricants are produced in Indonesia, Singapore and Mexico. In strategic countries there are deals in place with domestic producers to manufacture some product ranges locally.
As to business performance in 2019, compared to 2018 it should be noted that contribution margins improved in all product lines: Lubricants Spain (+ 14%), International Lubricants (+ 76%), Asphalts (+ 139%) and Specialties (+ 10%).
We invested to improve the capacity of the Puertollano lubricants plant, achieving output capacity of 145,000 t in 2019 (125,000 t in 2018).
Marketing and distribution are strongly international in scope, with sales in more than 93 countries throughout the world. Sales by geographical destination are presented below.
The main milestones in 2019 were as follows:
- In November, we completed the acquisition of 40% of United Oil. This transaction allows for the production and marketing of lubricants in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam and will boost our position in the Southeast Asian lubricants market, one of the largest and fastest-growing worldwide. United Oil Company operates one lubricant plant in Singapore and another in Indonesia, with a total capacity of 140,000 tons. The deal gives us a third production hub alongside those in Spain (Puertollano) and Mexico.
- A range of lubricants for hybrid vehicles, Hybrid 5W-30 and OW-20, designed by Repsol's TechLab research team to respond to hybrid vehicles with petrol and electric motors, both plug-in (PHEV) and non-plug-in (HEV), was launched in October. These are fully synthetic, very stable, degradation-resistant low viscosity oils, designed to offer high engine protection and fuel savings and therefore contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.

5.2.5.4. Electricity and gas
In 2018, Repsol reinforced its position as a multienergy supplier by starting its electricity generation and gas and electricity trading activities with the acquisition of the unregulated low-emission electricity generation businesses and the gas and electricity trading company from Viesgo1 .
Electricity generation
In 2019, following the new strategic approach (see section 2.4), the objective of the Strategic Plan 18-20 of low carbon electricity generation capacity in 2025 was increased by 3,000 MW to 7,500 MW.2 In addition:
- Four renewable electricity generation projects were acquired in Spain, with a total capacity of 921 MW. The projects are at different stages of execution and consist of a 335 MW wind farm located between the provinces of Zaragoza and Teruel; another located between Palencia and Valladolid, with a total installed capacity of 255 MW, a solar project in Cadiz of 204 MW and another in Ciudad Real of 126.6 MW. The implementation of these projects will take place over the next four years.
- The floating wind farm off the coast of Portugal, 20 kilometers from Viana do Castelo, started production, with an installed capacity of 5 MW (considering Repsol's participation in the project).

6. Sustainability
Sustainability Model
Repsol's Sustainability Policy reflects the company's commitment to best practices in sustainability and defines guidelines for managing and controlling impacts on society, the environment and the safety of operations throughout the value chain. This policy is implemented through a range of internal rules and procedures organized around Repsol's Sustainability Model. This model is structured in 6 axes that relate to material issues by reason of the type of company that Repsol is, as well as stakeholders' expectations, and the leading international standards.
This framework is specified annually in the Global and Local Sustainability Plans. In 2019, Repsol defined a new Global Sustainability Plan (GSP) that includes the key targets of the Company's strategic plan in the realm of sustainability. The 2019 Global Sustainability Plan cuts across domains, setting objectives in the supply chain, and has a longer time horizon, setting targets up to 2025. The Plan establishes 31 medium-term targets and 35 annual lines of action, articulated around the axes of the Sustainability Model and linked to the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
Based on the Global Sustainability Plan, Local Plans are rolled out in countries and main industrial facilities, incorporating commitments related to the local context and thus contributing to all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2019, Repsol had in place 22 Local Plans, with Algeria, the United Kingdom and Canada having joined in this year.
Repsol and the Sustainable Development Goals
Repsol supports the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and contributes to its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2019, an SDG Promotion Plan was launched to integrate commitment, dissemination and action in favor of this global agenda into the Company's culture.
As a starting point, the Company made known among its employees, with the involvement of the Executive Committee, the 2030 Agenda and the roadmap that Repsol has laid down to make a contribution.
In addition, the Company identified a range of indicators to measure Repsol's contribution to those SDGs to which, due to the features of our activity, we can best support: SDG 7, SDG 8 and SDG 13, for our role in access to energy, the contribution to socio-economic development and the fight against climate change; SDG 6, SDG 9 and SDG 12, highlighting innovation, sustainable management and efficient use of resources in operations; and SDG 17, relating to alliances with other actors and as active members of industry associations such as IPIECA, IOGP, CONCAWE, FUELS EUROPE, CEFIC, etc.
For further information on the Company's contribution to the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda, see www.repsol.com.
We have a firm and continuous commitment to Sustainability as a key element for value creation, today and in the future.
For further information about Sustainability, see Appendices III and IV to this report.
Our Sustainability plans (global, by country and by industrial facilities) are available at www.repsol.com, along with information for socially responsible investors, information on green bonds, and further information about each of the pillars of the Sustainability Model.

Governance Model
The Board of Directors approves, after supervision by the Sustainability Committee, the Company's strategy and policy on sustainability proposed by the Company's senior management and the Sustainability Committee itself which, among other functions, oversees and guides the policy, objectives and guidelines in the environmental, social and governance domains. In 2019, this Committee held 4 meetings and addressed the following matters:
- Oversight of non-financial information: 2018 Integrated Management Report
- Oversight of the Company's Sustainability strategy: proposal of 2019 objectives and monitoring, evaluation and close-out of 2018 objectives
- Global Sustainability Plan
- Sustainability risk map: emerging and climate change risks
- Analysis and regular monitoring of performance in:
- Accident rate, KPI scorecard and safety and environmental strategy.
- Community relations and human rights
- Circular economy
- ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) analyst and investor reports.
- Analysis and monitoring of initiatives relating to the Climate Disclosure Project (CDP) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
- Energy transition and climate change: Sustainability Day, OGCI, targets monitoring, benchmark scenarios and trends
- Safety culture at Repsol

- Crisis and emergency management procedure.
- Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promotion Plan.
The Company has an ongoing dialogue on environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters with stakeholders (including investors, associations, financial institution representatives, analysts and proxy advisors) to learn first-hand their opinion on these matters and explain the Company's practices. The management team also conducts specific ESG roadshows, some of which are led by the CEO himself.
The conclusions, messages and feedback obtained through the roadshows and other events such as Sustainability Day are presented to the Board of Directors on a regular basis.
As to ethics and transparency, the Audit and Control Committee and the Ethics and Compliance Committee are responsible for ensuring compliance with the Code of Ethics and Conduct and for reviewing the related projects and their modifications, ensuring that they comply with regulatory requirements and are appropriate for the Company.
Further, senior management, defines the Company's objectives, action plans and practices with respect to sustainability. In order to ensure deployment, the Sustainability objectives entailed, in 2019, up to 25% of the CEO's annual variable remuneration and up to 25% of the 2019-2022 Long-Term Incentive Program applicable to all management personnel, as well as other employees, including the CEO.
Repsol is committed to accessible, affordable

6.1. Climate change123
Climate change roadmap

1. The figures and indicators in this section have been calculated in accordance with corporate standards that set out the criteria and common methodology to be applied in Safety and Environment (S&E). As a general rule, safety and environmental information includes 100% of the data from companies in which the we hold a controlling interest or control over operations.
2. This section fulfills the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), to which the Company adhered in April 2018.
3. Each year, Repsol publishes additional climate change information in the Climate Disclosure Project survey (CDP, available at www.cdp.net).

Governance
Strategic decisions concerning climate change and the corresponding lines of action are established at the highest executive level, being the Executive Committee (EC) directly responsible for the management of matters related to climate change. The EC also approves the multi-year objectives and annual targets for reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG).
The Executive Committee and the Sustainability Committee regularly review information on the implementation of the climate change strategy and GHG emissions.
In addition, every quarter the Board of Directors monitors compliance with the objectives included in the Strategic Plan, analyzing, among other matters, the indicators related to Sustainability and the energy transition (reduction of emissions, frequency and occupational and process safety rates, performance of the electricity and gas business, wholesale gas sales, generation capacity, investment in low-carbon generation, etc.).
The Company's climate change targets have a direct impact on employees' variable remuneration:
- Annual sustainability objectives, which include actions related to the reduction of GHG emissions, have a weight of between 10% in the Corporate Areas and 20% in the Businesses.
- Additionally, Repsol has a long-term incentive for the period 2019-2022 linked with a weighting of 10% to compliance with the GHG emissions reduction plan. This bonus is available to the CEO, senior management and other employees.
Recently, Repsol announced that it will link 40% of the long-term variable remuneration of its executives and leaders, including the CEO and members of senior management, to targets that will enable the Company to comply with the Paris Agreement and, therefore, with gradual decarbonization, with an ambition of zero net emissions by 2050.
Climate change risks
The Group's risk policy, approved by the Board of Directors, establishes that risk management is embedded in business processes, and that risks are identified, assessed and mitigated in order to keep them at levels tolerated by the Company. The risks arising from climate change, both physical and so-called transitional, are managed in the same way as the other risks to which the Group is exposed, except for the fact that their emerging nature makes them the subject of more detailed examination in the long term. The Group's risk profile, both in the short and in the medium and long term, is available to the Group's executive and governing bodies for decision-making purposes. To do so, they have available the information regarding the risk profile and the statement of risk tolerance set out in the risk policy. Management of such risks is overseen by the Sustainability Committee and by the Audit and Control Committee, each within the scope of their respective responsibilities.
The variables in the economic models on which key decision-making processes are based, such as the preparation of the annual budget and the preparation and regular updating of the strategic plan, are subject to risk analysis. Going beyond deterministic approaches, these analyses provide a probabilistic view of the relevant figures of the income statement, according to the values that the modeled variables are expected to take and considering correlations between them, within preestablished probability ranges.
Risks relating to the phenomenon of climate change are emerging risks, i.e. factors of growing uncertainty, in relation to others, in the medium and long term. Over the next five years, approximately 10% of the Group's risks analyzed are related to climate change to one extent or another.
To determine our exposure to these risks in the longer term, Repsol has developed its own analysis methodology, as there is no standard methodology available in the industry, adjusting the risk analysis approach in the short and medium term (typical 5-year horizon of a strategic planning cycle) to extend its scope to the long term (to 2025, 2030 and 2040). The main features are:
• Based on future scenarios for changes in the energy mix, taking as a yardstick the scenarios considered by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Probabilistic analysis of scenarios is carried out by a panel of the Company's experts in strategy, markets, technology and
sustainability. Some of these risks may have an adverse or positive impact depending on risk mitigation and climate scenario adaptation strategies, since they imply the emergence of business opportunities that can be put to good use.
- The model identifies the key emerging and climate change risks for the company on the 2025, 2030 and 2040 horizons. Following the sequential process of identification, prioritization and analysis, 19 emerging and climate change risks have been identified and classified according to their features. A taxonomy of sustainable development, socio-political, operational, reputational and technological risks has therefore been developed. Of these 19 risks, the 10 that concentrate most of the exposure are prioritized for subsequent analysis.
- The model quantifies the impact of these risks on the Company's performance in each of the scenarios over the pre-determined time horizon.
In the short term, the climate change risks that concentrate the greatest exposure are:
- Regulatory changes that affect operations and/ or future investments, understood as those which directly affect the Company's results, arising either from the obligation to adopt measures to mitigate climate change, or changes relating to the environment, taxes or other.
- Harm to the Company's and/or industry's reputation caused by social disapproval, whether or not justified, of its performance in relation to sustainable development initiatives.
- Price signals generated by the energy transition scenarios, which modify the exposure to market risks such as the volatility of the price of crude oil, natural gas or other commodities such as greenhouse gas emission allowances.
- Greater difficulty or cost in raising funds to finance the development of certain projects, arising from the position that the financial sector or investors with exposure to the energy sector may adopt, either voluntarily or induced by the regulator.
Repsol has been a part of this initiative along with nine other leading sector companies, to collaborate in climate action sharing best practices and technological solutions.


Target: Net Zero Emissions.
In the medium and long term, the main risks are:
- Changes in energy end-uses that lead to a reduction in demand for marketed products, either as a result of natural market dynamics or induced by regulation (e.g. electrification of the car fleet, user preference for innovative forms of mobility, etc.)
- Changes in the basket of primary energy sources toward others with less carbon intensity, entailing decreased use of fossil fuel sources.
- Late adoption of new or immature practices/ processes/technologies for energy production (including renewable energies), distribution and storage, which finally prevail in the market, or, at the other extreme, premature adoption of technologies that ultimately fail to become "winners".
In other words, the forecast is that over the next ten years regulatory changes and society's perception of the industry will be the main factors of uncertainty. These two phenomena are catalysts of the energy transition process, and therefore will foreseeably bring about changes in the final uses of energy, in the primary energy mix and in the technologies that will make these changes possible in the future.
Repsol is therefore more exposed to transitional risks than to physical risks. However, the Company is taking steps to reduce exposure to both. Climate change can exacerbate adverse weather phenomena to which Repsol is exposed (hurricanes, floods, changes in rainfall or temperature, patterns, etc.), which can have an impact on its activities. As an example of physical risk, Repsol operates in areas that are affected by water stress, where the rainfall regime could affect the operation of our facilities. In these operations, Repsol implements plans for reducing water consumption and supporting water reuse.
Strategy
Repsol supports the Paris Agreement and works to play an active role in the solution to climate change. The Company's commitment to energy transition is in line with the objectives of the Paris Summit and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Repsol will orient its strategy to be a company with zero net emissions by 2050. This ambitious goal is intended to help limit global warming to below 2°C with respect to pre-industrial levels. To achieve this transition, a holistic approach is needed, involving analysis of future scenarios, identification of risks and opportunities associated with climate change, and development of a strategy aligned with the
transition to a low-carbon economy. This requires taking into account all available and emerging technologies, their costs and the degree of maturity, while maintaining technological neutrality.
Repsol sets down future climate scenarios to anticipate how the energy sector will adapt to sustainably provide the energy that society will need in the future. Medium- and long-term scenarios have been analyzed, assessing the impact on the Company's strategic lines and competitiveness. The International Energy Agency's (IEA) guidelines have been taken as a yardstick, establishing the roadmap towards the performance that businesses should achieve by 2030 and 2040.
Scenario analysis is integrated with the strategy development process, taking into account the energy mix, the average price trend of oil and gas and the demand for products, in order to define the portfolio of the various businesses:

The future scenarios foresee a significant substitution of coal by natural gas for electricity generation, as it is a fuel with lower CO2 emissions per energy unit, as well as providing greater performance in electricity generation. Switching from coal to natural gas represents a great opportunity to achieve large-scale CO2 reductions in a cost-efficient manner, i.e. at a lower cost to society, and is one of the most effective solutions for promoting a structured transition to a low-emission future. Repsol has an Upstream gas portfolio of around 62% production and 71% reserves.
For more information on the Group's vision for the energy sector in the short and long term, see section 7.1.
The Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS) will be the basis for the implementation of the Strategic Plan 2021-2025, which will be presented to the market and investors in the first half of 2020. For further information, see section 2.4 Strategy.
Based on the possible ways of achieving a lowemission future and scenario analysis, Repsol has defined several lines of action that are integrated into its strategy:
- Reducing the carbon intensity of traditional businesses.
- a) E&P. Prioritizing gas production over oil production, prioritizing short-cycle projects, and calculating the profitability of assets at prices consistent with the SDS.
- b) Refining. Sustain the cost-effectiveness of operations and reduce carbon intensity by improving energy efficiency, electrifying facilities and integrating renewable electricity and by producing biofuels and waste-tofuels)
- c) Chemicals. Development of new chemical applications, increasing the energy efficiency of operations and promoting circular economy projects.
- New low-carbon businesses. As a multi-energy company, integration of low carbon electricity generation (renewables) with a combined offer of increasingly decarbonized products and services (electricity, gas, distributed energy).

Thus, in the short to medium term (2020-2025), aspects that are closely related to competitiveness, such as energy costs and CO2, and the regulatory framework of the Company's activities are taken into account. Examples of this regulation are the EU-ETS, the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) in Europe or the Canadian regulatory framework (Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change). These laws are changing the use and consumption of energy, so new opportunities arise in the sector. These challenges are analyzed through the Integrated Risk Management System and are taken into account in the setting of the Company's strategy, resulting in ambitious business plans to meet these goals.
Operational efficiency is one of the cornerstones of the strategy (energy efficiency, methane management, reduction of routine flaring, etc.) to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions. With regard to improving Scope 3 emissions management, biofuels, chemicals and natural gas production are the most important levers.
Repsol has established emission reduction plans to reduce energy and carbon intensity through operational efficiency. These plans led to a reduction of 2 million tons in the period 2006-2019. In addition, the Company extended its 2014-2020 plan to a new 2018-2025 plan, including, among others, unit energy integration projects, process optimization and efficient operation of facilities. As part of this plan, reduction targets have been set down for methane emissions and gas flaring by 2025.
Repsol issued a 500 million euro green bond for refinancing in the period 2014-2016 and financing in the period 2017-2022 of energy efficiency projects in the facilities of the Refining and Chemicals businesses in Europe. Repsol strongly supports the use of financing as an instrument to promote sustainability and accelerate the energy transition. The Company is working on monitoring the EU Action Plan on Sustainable Finance so that it is inclusive with technological neutrality, progressive,
Low-emissions electricity production

and ultimately allows for a sustainable energy transition at a reasonable cost.
The total volume of biofuels incorporated into the fuels marketed by Repsol in 2019 came to 1,498,275 m3 , of which 576,953 m3 were produced at the Group's refineries and the remaining 921,322 m3 have been purchased from external companies and mixed in the appropriate proportion to respond to the specifications of gasolines and diesel fuels and the requirements of our customers. These biofuels have reduced emissions released during transport by 2.8 M of CO2. Repsol's biofuel production capacity is 871,000 m3 /year, divided up between BioETBE (429,000 m3 /year) and hydrogenated vegetable oil (GVO, 442,000 m3 /year).
Furthermore, internal carbon pricing is a critical element of climate policies aimed at carrying out the transition to a low-emissions future. For investment decisions on new projects, Repsol updated the internal CO2 price pathway, starting at USD 25/ton in 2018, with an increase to USD 40/ton in 2025.
Other lines of work through which Repsol pursues its objectives are renewable energies, sustainable fuels and sustainable mobility, which will be its main levers.
In relation to renewable energies, in 2019 Repsol incorporated into its portfolio of assets the development of three new renewable projects, two wind and one solar, which add up to a capacity of around 800 megawatts (MW). And the Company has increased the target for low-carbon electricity generation capacity to 7,500 MW by 2025 with the intention of becoming a major international player in renewable energy. For further information, see section 5.2.5.4 Electricity and Gas.
With respect to sustainable fuels and sustainable mobility, see section 2.4, which describes the new strategic approach.
In the long term (2025-2050), we take into account the change in energy end-uses, the change in the primary energy mix and the development of new technologies, as well as future regulations applicable in that timeframe (derived from the EU Energy and Climate Roadmap 2050, sustainable financing at an EU level or national contributions of other countries to the Paris Agreement).
Within this timeframe it will be necessary to develop new technological solutions such as Carbon Capture, Use and Storage (CCUS), Natural Climate Solutions, Green Hydrogen, etc.
A key element of the company's strategy to reduce CO2 emissions in the value chain is the use of CCS technologies. Repsol takes part in R&D and demonstration projects of these technologies that may allow their future application on a large scale. Through the investment fund OGCI - Climate Investments, Repsol, in coalition with other oil and gas companies, continues to invest in low-emissions projects and technologies. It will support projects where a collective effort is the key to achieving successful results. To this end, OGCI will invest more than €1,000 million over ten years.
The Technology and Corporate Venturing Units contribute to the Company's strategy by investing in low-emission technologies, such as biofuels and advanced mobility, among others (see details in section 6.5. Technology development for decarbonization).
Repsol firmly believes that its strategy, portfolio and financial framework lay the foundations for the company's resilience, providing the adaptability and flexibility necessary for future changes in the energy system in the long term.
The Group has adjusted the book valuation of its assets to a pathway of oil and gas prices that in the short term has had an accounting effect on the current value of the assets (see section 4.1), mainly in the Upstream assets, which has shown the quality of the assets and the capacity to adapt business models in the Downstream segment.
Repsol is part of the international Climate & Clean Air Coalition-O&G Methane Partnership of UN Environment, a program for detecting, quantifying and reducing methane emissions.

(8) Energy consumption calculation includes fuel consumption, flaring, fugitives and venting, as well as steam and electricity purchases (scope 1 and scope 2).
(9) In 2019, the emissions increase is mainly due to the incorporation of the Electricity and Gas business.
Energy intensity
In the Oil&Gas sector, it is important to establish a clear distinction between Downstream and Upstream energy intensity, owing to the difference between these operations.
In Refining, energy intensity is calculated as energy consumption per ton of crude processed, coming to 2.95 GJ/t crude in 2019 (2.84 GJ/t crude in 2018). It should be noted that this calculation does not include the Olefinas Cracker plant, which belongs to the Chemicals business.
In Exploration and Production, the data is calculated per barrel of oil equivalent (boe, gross production of assets operated by the Company), coming to 0.275 GJ/boe in 2019 (0.29 GJ/bep in 2018).
Both indicators include energy consumption associated with fuel consumption, flared gas burning, fugitive emissions and venting, in addition to the purchase of steam and electricity (scope 1 and scope 2).
Intensity of greenhouse gas emissions
The criteria for calculating emissions intensity are the same as for energy intensity; this value in 2019 for the Refining business came to 0.198 t CO2e/t crude (0.19 tCO2e/t in 2018) and to 60.17 t CO2e/ kboe for E&P (60.52 tCO2e/kbep in 2018).
Plan to reduce equivalent CO2 emissions
The target for the reduction of CO2e emissions at the end of the period 2014-2020 is 2.1 Mt. DDuring 2019, Repsol has promoted several actions that have reduced 171 kt of CO2e emissions, which means that an accumulated reduction of 2 million tonnes of CO2e have been achieved for the period 2014-2019.
In energy terms, in 2019 a reduction of 2.3 million GJ was obtained, which means a cumulative reduction of 30.5 million GJ throughout the period.
In energetic terms, the company has accomplished a reduction of 2.3 million GJ, which translates to an accumulated reduction of 30.5 million GJ for the same period.

of reduction as a new target for 2018-2025
CO2e emission reduction (millions of tons)
Mt CO2e reduced

Repsol set a new, more ambitious goal: reduce CO2e emissions by 3 Mt by 2018-2025. This objective can be achieved with the following levers:
- Reduction of methane emissions in Upstream.
- Reduction of routine flared gas in Upstream.
- Energy efficiency both in Upstream and Downstream.
- Use of low carbon technologies and renewable energies in our operations.
Carbon intensity indicator (CII) reduction
Repsol has defined a carbon intensity indicator in g CO2e/ MJ to establish its emissions reduction targets based on the scope 1+2+3 over time, until the target of Net Zero Emissions is reached in 2050. To facilitate the monitoring of progress towards the long-term ambition and for the sake of transparency, Repsol considers it essential to set intermediate objectives. Thus, Repsol has set itself a reduction target with respect to the 2016 base year of 3% in 2020, estimates of 10% in 2025 and 20% in 2030, to achieve the ambition of 40% in 2040 in line with

Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) Methane Initiative
for the sharing of best practices in management of methane emissions.

the International Energy Agency (IEA) Sustainable Development (SD) scenario and in accordance with society's demands.
With regard to 2050, Repsol estimates that at least 70% reduction of the Carbon Intensity Indicator can be achieved with the technological evolution that we can anticipate today without major technological disruptions, and is committed to applying the best technologies available at that time to raise this figure, including the carbon capture, use and storage and, if this were not enough, to offset emissions through reforestation and other natural climate solutions.
Carbon intensity indicator (CII) reduction targets

Repsol's carbon intensity indicator takes into account in the numerator the emissions derived from the Company's activity (direct and indirect emissions derived from exploration and production, refining and chemicals operations, and emissions from the electric power generation) and emissions associated with the use of fuel products derived from our primary energy production (oil, and natural gas). In the denominator, the indicator includes the energy that Repsol makes available to society in the form of end products derived from the production of primary energy from oil and gas, biofuels and the electricity produced.
| Carbon intensity | 2019 | 2016 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| g CO2e/MJ | 75.5 | 77.7 |
In 2019 we achieved a 2.8% reduction via energy efficiency plans and methane emissions management, increasing use of biofuels in gasolines and diesels, the contribution of the lowemissions electricity business, and the Company's commitment to petrochemical businesses.
Reduction of methane emission intensity
Convinced of the importance of the role of natural gas in the energy transition, Repsol has taken on the goal of reducing the intensity of methane emissions in its operated assets by 25% in 2025 compared to 2017.
This commitment is in line with the joint objective of the OGCI (Oil and Gas Climate Initiative) established in 2018. The achievement of this objective is mainly based on three lines of action:
- Implementation of more accurate emission detection and quantification technologies.
- Identification and use of technologies for the reduction of emissions.
- Transition to a lower emissions portfolio.
| Methane intensity(1) | 2019 | 2018 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CH4 emissions/ gas produced (%) | 1.28 | 1.17 | 1.34 |
(1) Volume based calculation.
Reduction of flared gas
In June 2016, Repsol joined the World Bank's Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative. Thus Repsol undertakes to seek solutions that are technically and economically viable to minimize routine gas flaring as soon as possible, and no later than 2030 at E&P facilities.
Since then, work has been done to improve the inventory of emissions due to gas flaring year by year, segregating this inventory into routine and nonroutine flaring, applying the definitions of the Global Gas Flaring Reduction and standardizing criteria among OGCI companies.
Repsol set a target for reducing routine flaring of flare gas by 50% by 2025, referring to E&P operated assets and whose baseline was established in 2018. The lines of work are:
- Improvement in the design and operating procedures of the facilities
- Reutilization of gas as a fuel, to generate electricity or reinjection
- Commercial solutions to make use of the gas once it has been treated
| Routine gas flaring | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| kt CO2e Upstream routine flaring | 280 | 344 |
In 2019, routine gas flaring has been reduced by 19% compared to 2018.

Value proposition
In the process of cultural transformation needed to drive the Strategic Plan, two of the key levers for achieving a more efficient and agile organization are leadership and talent.
During 2019, Repsol redesigned and updated its strategic lines for managing people and the organization, identifying the key elements that, in a comprehensive way, will support the transformation of the Company and ensure that Repsol's talent is prepared to face the challenges that the future holds: Employee Experience, New Ways of Working and Digitalization, Leadership and Talent, Labor and Compensation Framework, and Transformation in the People and Organization function itself.
1. Employee culture and experience
Repsol is immersed in a transformation process as a Company to achieve the objectives of the Strategic Plan. To do this, a robust culture that enables us to work in an agile, flexible and engaged way is essential.
To track progress in this process, a new edition of the Culture Survey was launched in 2019 with the slogan "We want to hear your best voice". As a novelty, the global questionnaire was simplified to make it more agile and easy to answer and the leadership indicator (which replaces the 180° Feedback evaluation) was added, to measure the performance of the executive team.
In 2019 new policies and ways of interacting were designed to improve the experience for the candidate, new employee, expatriate and manager, including reinforcement actions in communication, robotizing activities for speed and efficiency and developing new information content and learning.
2. Diversity and inclusiveness
At Repsol, we encourage all employees to have the opportunity to show their talent and develop their potential regardless of gender, culture, sexual orientation, ability or age.
In 2019, the Diversity and Work-Life Balance
Committee promoted several initiatives in five lines of work: different abilities, gender, age, cultural diversity, flexibility and work-life balance.
With regard to the differently abled, Repsol has an integration action plan with objectives for 2020 that covers all areas of the organization. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had 633 differently abled employees (2.51% of the workforce). In Spain, in 2019, the applicable legislation under the LGD has been exceeded, with a percentage of 2.47%, 467 being direct employees.2 Another measure is the incorporation of criteria for compliance with the LGD in the grading of suppliers.
Following the accessibility study carried out at the head offices in 2018 with the aim of diagnosing the level of accessibility of the environment, services and management, a new Campus Accessibility Project 2019-2021 was designed.
With regard to gender diversity, the percentage of women continues to increase in all groups and businesses. Repsol commitment is for 31% of leadership positions to be held by women by 2020.

By carrying out intercultural sensitivity workshops, we address the reality of a company that has employees in 34 countries of 89 different nationalities and more than 1,352 employees working in a country other than their country of origin. For more information, see Appendix III.
3. Employment, flexibility and work-life balance
In the area of flexibility and work-life balance,
Repsol is a Company recognized for promoting new ways of working adapted to the uses and customs of each country, with the telecommuting programme being one of the most widely accepted by employees.
| Telecommuting indicators | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| No. of teleworkers worldwide | 2,790 | 2,267 |
In 2019 specific commitments were Introduced In terms of work-life balance and diversity In the sustainability plans in the countries where we operate. The scope of healthcare services for employees in Spain was widened and a new legal and admin help desk service has been launched, in addition to improvements in paid leave for childcare.
In relation to the right to digital disconnection, an agreement has been signed to encourage reasonable use of new technologies and promote a culture that, based on the principle of respect, will continue to promote the well-being of employees.
4. Total compensation
Repsol is committed to a flexible compensation system that seeks outward competitiveness and internal equity, based on meritocracy, and valuing performance, cooperation and teamwork.
The compensation model encompasses fixed pay, an annual bonus, long-term performance-related compensation and benefits that include the Stock Purchase Plan1 and other items such as childcare, health insurance and additional contributions to the pension plan. Detailed information on average remuneration and the salary gap can be consulted in Appendix III.
Average personnel costs per employee2 in 2019 amounted to €72.0 thousand (€70.7 thousand in 2018) and total social benefits amounted to €115.6 million (€106.2 million in 2018). Almost 80% of employee benefit spending goes to healthcare and pension funding.
Another key element in the total compensation scheme is non-monetary benefits. In 2019, the Insignia program was launched, which provides the opportunity for recognition among colleagues by awarding badges associated with the five behaviors desired by the Company, good practices in the area of SMA and contribution to their teams.
Finally, 2019 saw the first-time launch of a Global Share Purchase Plan for all employees ("Tu Repsol" Plan), enabling them to become Compàny shareholders on favorable terms.
5. Career development and leadership
Having an attractive career development model that offers opportunities for professional growth is key for Repsol.
Internal mobility promotes learning and career development. Repsol encourages employees to take on new challenges and responsibilities, outside or within their business, area or country. During 2019, we streamlined and improved the process, giving the manager more autonomy in leading the process and increasing the number of internal candidates, bringing available opportunities closer to employees (publishing vacancies, employee's selection of interests) and carrying out proactive searches by the HR area.

Target:
Achieve a 31% increase of women in leadership positions.

| % women (of number of internal movility) | 42% | 37% |
6. Training and learning
Repsol is now evolving its learning model, in a bid for greater autonomy and self-leadership in the development of employee skills and abilities. Employees themselves decide on their areas of interest and growth, while the manager is provided with data and information to be able to observe, support and reinforce the development of their colleagues. The availability of just-intime, omnichannel, employee-centered learning experiences is increasingly important. In 2019, more than 2,000 digital resources were made available to employees and Peer Learning was launched, enabling employees to share 430 lessons.

7. Employment Framework and Health
The Group's Framework Agreement, together with the collective agreements, is the basis for a framework of sustainability and trust underpinning the mutual interests of Company and employees.
In the Repsol Group's continuous effort to promote integrity and respect in the workplace, awareness actions have been carried out in various countries on the prevention of workplace harassment, promoting an environment free from intimidation, harassment and abuse and identifying the channels enabled by the Company to report unwanted situations.
Within the strategic framework of Health and Welfare, programs have been launched to help employees manage their working and personal environment with a healthier perspective. For more information, see Appendix III.
8. New Ways of Working
In 2019, we worked on an Agenda for Cultural Transformation, led by the Executive Committee, which includes initiatives related to evolving the work context, behaviors and management practices. The main lines of work were:
- Development of the functional model and review of the Company's processes, rolling out new "Repsol Lean&Agile" work methods, with a flatter, more liquid and flexible hierarchical structure, through multidisciplinary teams.
- Deployment of the Digital Workplace, to allow work and/or collaboration from any place or device (6,616 people have joined the digital collaboration platforms).
- On-site or online training in new ways of working (Design Thinking, Lean Startup, Agile, Scrum, etc.) and expansion of the network of facilitators to support teams in their implementation.

Repsol's policies and regulations are aligned with the United Nations Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights.

6.2.2. Respect for human rights and community relations1
Our responsibility: to respect and remedy
Since 2008, Repsol has had in place a community relations (including indigenous populations) policy. The Company uses all the means at its disposal to prevent its activities or decisions from having adverse impacts on human rights, and will do all it can to repair the damage of any such impacts that do occur. In 2019, the Human Rights and Community Relations Policy was revised, strengthening Repsol's commitment to the United Nations' Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the main international standard on the subject.
The Company's goal is to achieve and maintain solid relationships, based on recognition, trust, mutual respect and shared value, with 100% of the communities in the areas of influence of its projects and assets. To this end, Repsol has a team specialized in human rights and community relations of more than 70 people in the different countries and projects, and is supported by sector alliances such as active participation in the IPIECA social work group, or agreements with stakeholders such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Organisation of Ibero-American States (OEI), etc.
- For more information on human rights and community relations, see www.repsol.com.
Malaysia
Repsol collaborates with the Malaysian Ministry of Health to reduce the transmission and improve the quality of life of those suffering from thalassemia, a hereditary blood disorder that requires monthly blood transfusions. Thalassemia can be prevented by awareness-raising campaigns. The area in which Repsol operates, the state of Sabah, has the highest rate of this disorder in Malaysia. Repsol promotes
Thalassemia awareness program
blood tests and donations to detect the illness and help patients, with the aim of involving the population and eradicating the illness by 2030. Furthermore, this year, Repsol provided €30,000 of financing for a competition between students from 50 local schools to create a website to disseminate information on this illness.
The Company's management model has an anticipatory approach that focuses on identifying and mitigating risks and impacts and on seeking out opportunities, with a commitment to prevention and ongoing dialogue with all stakeholders. In the social sphere, this model is implemented through internal regulations that govern due diligence and Repsol's actions in the area of human rights and community relations.
In 2019, we set down a social investment strategy, reflected in a new regulatory framework that establishes common criteria throughout the organization, with the aim of maximizing the Company's positive impacts. 100% of operated assets are subject to strategies of participation with local communities that lead to local development projects.
When a new operation arises or a significant change occurs, a social impact assessment is carried out. 100% of the impact assessments conducted in 2019 included social and human rights aspects, with a total of 17 impact assessments conducted in 7 countries. It should be noted the 6 social impact assessments that were carried out in Mexico, where Repsol has been the only operator not receiving requirements from the regulator thanks to its collaborative approach with authorities and other stakeholders since the beginning of the project.
In 2019, moreover, the model for joint operations agreements (JOA)2 was revised so that all new agreements include clauses relating to respect for human rights. This was done in 100% of agreements signed this year Furthermore, in 100% of due diligence processes for acquisition of assets in 2019, the human rights performance of the counterparties was evaluated in accordance with Repsol's regulatory framework in this area.
A reflection of Repsol's optimum performance in terms of Community Relations and Human Rights is the assessment of Repsol by the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (CHRB), which in its 2019 analysis placed the Company as the best-rated oil and gas company, and 7th in the overall ranking of the 195 companies analyzed.
2. Joint Operating Agreements (JOAs) are the consortium agreements connected with acreage; they are negotiated following the 2012 model of the AIPN (Association of International Petroleum Negotiators).

One of the Company's priorities is to respond quickly and early to the complaints, concerns and grievances of the communities around our projects and assets (most often caused by operational impacts). This way of working helps us to anticipate and address the potential impacts of activities in the area of influence and therefore prevent human rights impacts and future conflicts. The nature of such mechanisms is special and unique in each setting. These mechanisms are designed on the basis of informed engagement and following the United Nations model.
This year, Repsol has continued to work on improving the legitimacy and accessibility of the grievance mechanisms in the highest human rights risk operations in accordance with the United Nations' Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and on communicating the mechanisms among all stakeholders.
In 2019, 89% of all complaints received during the year were resolved.
Types of complaints received in 2019

Security and human rights
Since 2013, Repsol subscribes to the United Nations Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights to assure the security of operations in high risk or conflict areas through working procedures that ensure respect for human rights.
Repsol requires private security companies to ensure that 100% of the employees who work at Repsol facilities are trained in human rights. The Company ensures this training or holds courses for corporate security personnel. In addition, in some countries, public security forces receive specific training in human rights, with 261 members trained this year in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Malaysia.
| Human rights | 2019 | 2018 |

Repsol has long-term agreements in place with indigenous communities in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador that contribute to maintaining our social license to operate.
Ambition: GSP a
Guarantee people's security with full respect for human rights.

Economic impact on communities
The Company identifies and strengthens positive impacts and shared value in the areas where it is present, as a result of a consensus with communities. The context determines the scope and focus of the investment. In 2019, social investment came to 50.78 million euros. See Appendix III for more information and examples of social investment projects.
Peru
In 2019, Repsol signed a positive agreement with the Nuevo Mundo Native Community, in the Amazonian region of Cusco, for the use of land necessary to continue using the logistics base and airport corresponding to Block 57 for a 10-year period.
This agreement reflects the relationship of mutual trust built with the communities, enhanced as part of the action plan to handle
Agreement with the Nuevo Mundo Native Community
the controversy that occurred in Nuevo Mundo. This plan has made it possible to improve the relationship with the surrounding community, which also benefits as a user of the infrastructure set up for air transport.
The lessons learned have been included in the management model and applied to other projects and assets.

Partnerships
Since 2018, Repsol has had a worldwide agreement in place with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Organization of Iberoamerican States (OEI). Thanks to this agreement, in 2019, a new cooperation and development project has been undertaken in Peru, in the Amazon region of Cusco. This project sets out to promote sustainable territorial development, respect for human rights and the preservation of biodiversity, and to guarantee coordinated work with the State, communities and local players in areas where
Repsol and the United Nations work together to support sustainable development
Repsol has presence. Having completed a comprehensive diagnosis of the area, the following priority lines of intervention have been defined: strengthening of territorial governance, preservation of the environment and local productive development. This agreement represents the consolidation of a 5-year partnership to work towards sustainable development in the Megantoni District, the area of influence of Block 57.

Ambition: Establish
strong relations with communities in which the Company is present.
Repsol strives to create a safe, wellprotected working environment.

6.3. Safe operation 1
The Company is focused on a proactive risk management throughout the activity cycle to ensure the protection of people and safety at our facilities. This means guaranteeing proper identification, assessment and management of the risks associated with the processes and industrial assets throughout their lifespan.
Safe operation is based on:
• An internal regulatory body, subject to the most rigorous international standards, which sets the Company requirements for our operations throughout their lifecycle and supports standardized risk management throughout the Company. The process of reviewing and updating all corporate regulations initiated in 2016 was completed with the approval in 2019 of the regulations on maritime and river transport, asset integrity and emergency and crisis management.
- A process of regulatory and procedural roll-out to all businesses and assets, which in addition to compliance with corporate requirements, encompasses all necessary features arising from the specific nature of each business, specific legal requirements, national and local, and different modes of operation.
- Systematic and independent internal audit and verification processes that ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the above processes.
Process safety
Repsol has a proactive safety program that enables it to manage process safety at all times in order to prevent industrial accidents, keeping risks under control and properly managed. This program is being reinforced with initiatives established in the Key Action Lines up to 2025 in the three vectors involved (people, facilities and processes).
Repsol works on the proper management of critical processes and in an adequate design, implementation and maintenance of safety barriers to ensure the integrity of the installations. International standards such as API, NFPA, ISO, EN, IEC, IOGP or CCPS are applied.
Repsol carries out inspection and preventive maintenance programs to check the correct functioning of safety-critical systems and equipment. These programs are part of the Company's tools that help to improve and reduce the industrial accident rate at assets.
One of the main challenges of the process safety approach is to align the entire organization with the risk reduction goal. Workshops and specific sessions are therefore held at the Company's assets with the involvement of the personnel directly involved in the execution of the operational activities.
All of the above is part of normal operations at all facilities. However, in 2019 the corporate Asset Integrity standard was updated, providing a uniform and robust reference framework, establishing the basic requirements for ensuring the integrity of the Company's assets and preventing leaks of hazardous substances or uncontrolled release of energy during operation.
The management framework contained in this standard rests on three pillars: provision of safety barriers to control identified hazards, ongoing maintenance of technical requirements and performance to ensure effectiveness and, finally, verification on the condition of barriers and compliance with technical integrity requirements.
1. The figures and indicators in this section have been calculated in accordance with corporate standards that set out the criteria and common methodology to be applied in Safety and Environment (S&E). As a rule, safety and environment disclosures include 100% of the data on the companies in which Repsol has a majority stake or operational control. Specifically, with regard to security, data is provided on contractors that provide services under a direct contract.
| Process safety indicator (1) | 2019 | 2018 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PSIR (2) TIER 1 + TIER 2 | 0.55 | 0.47 | 0.62 |
- (1) A process safety accident is one in which the first line of control has been breached, with the following happening simultaneously: i) There is a process or a chemical involved ii) It occurs at a specific location, i.e. at a facility used for production, distribution, storage, auxiliary services (utilities) or pilot plants related to the chemical process or product involved and iii) It gives rise to an unplanned or uncontrolled release of material, including non-toxic and nonflammable matter (e.g. steam, hot water, nitrogen, compressed CO2 or compressed air, with certain levels of consequences. The process safety accident will be classified as Tier 1 or Tier 2 according to the defined thresholds.
- (2) PSIR: Process Safety Incident Rate: number of Tier 1 and Tier 2 process safety incidents which occurred within the period per million hours worked related to process.
Safety management and monitoring is performed through effective measurement of the indicators in alignment with the main international references (IOGP, API and CCPS). In 2019, this indicator has increased by 16% year-on-year. Despite this increase, this figure is now below the unit in an asymptotic trend since 2016, affected by slight changes. In absolute terms, Tier 1 incidents have decreased by 2 compared to 2018 and Tier 2 incidents have increased by 6. The ratio of Tier 1 plus Tier 2 to Tier 3 is 1 to 40, which means that most incidents are concentrated on the accident rate base in near misses that rather involve preventive action to reduce the most severe incidents before they occur.
| Spills | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Number of hydrocarbon spills > 1 barrel reaching the environment |
25 | 25 |
| Volume of hydrocarbon spills that reach the environment (metric tons) (1) |
79 | 111 |
(1) Hydrocarbon spills of more than one barrel reaching the environment.
There were four significant spills in 2019: all four were the result of the overturning of the oil tank truck transporting goods. Two of them involved production water, in the Exploration and Production business, with 21 and 23 tons spilled. The other two involved hydrocarbons, in Repsol Peru business, with 31 and 19 tons spilled. Appropriate measures were taken for the remediation of the affected area in all cases.
If, despite all preventive activity, a spill should occur, the Company has internal and external emergency response mechanisms and specialized trained teams that use the most advanced detection tools and follow specific management and training protocols that ensure the assignment of the highest priority required in each case. Once the situation is under control, new preventive measures are established to prevent any repetition. These mechanisms are essential to reduce impacts on the environment and human beings as far as possible.
In the event of marine spills, in addition to its own response resources Repsol has contracts in place that assure the swift response of external specialists and equipment (Oil Spills Response Limited - OSRL, including access to the Global Dispersants stockpile, Wild Well Control, Helix, etc.).

2nd World Safety and Environment Conference
In June 2019, Madrid played host to the 2nd World Safety and Environment Days with the active involvement of more than 400 professionals from 19 countries. Over the course of these three days of work and debate, the new challenges coming up and the way in which the safety and environment fuction must respond to them were discussed, leading the implementation of the 2025 S&E strategy established in 2018.
The energy transition towards a future of low emissions, circular economy as a lever for transforming the economic model or the criticality of responsible, efficient water management were key topics at most of these sessions.
Furthermore, other topics that must contribute to Sustainability and to improving the Company's safety performance were discussed: transfer between generations as a way of incorporating new skills, a just culture in ensuring the commitment of the entire organization, opportunities to improve efficiency and minimize risks offered by digital tools or the vital importance of focusing on process safety.
Occupational safety
Repsol continues to work on reducing occupational incidents.
| Personal safety indicators (1) | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIF) (2) | 0.86 | 0.89 |
| Lost Time Injury Rate for own staff | 0.79 | 0.76 |
| Lost Time Injury Rate for contractor staff | 0.91 | 1.01 |
| Total Recordable incident rate (TRIR) (3) | 1.24 | 1.59 |
| TRIR for own staff | 1.02 | 1.26 |
| TRIR for contractor staff | 1.42 | 1.90 |
| No. of own staff fatalities | 0 | 0 |
| No. of contractor staff fatalities | 1 | 2 |
| Number of safety training hours | 260,872 | 217,464 |
(1) A corporate standard establishes the criteria and methodology for recording incidents and is completed with a guide to incident management indicators.
- (2) Number of personal consequences (fatalities with loss of days) during the year, for every million hours worked. It includes subcontractors and managed workforce.
- (3) Total number of cases with personal consequences (fatalities, loss of days, medical treatment and restricted work) accumulated during the period, for every million hours worked. It includes subcontractors and managed workforce.

Norway
In Norway, the assets in the Gyda field (North Sea) are being decommissioned. The scope of the works entails the sealing and abandonment of wells in addition to the dismantling of surface facilities.
Work began in January 2019 to seal and abandon the wells, involving a team of 80 people.
Safety coaching in the decommission of Gyda
Three safety coaches recruited externally and that work independently are overseeing these tasks.
With their help, the project's focus on safety and the environment has been stepped up, involving all those on the platform and working as a team to achieve optimal safety results.
Regretfully, in 2019 we have to report a fatality among Repsol´s contractors in a road accident. The accident was due to a loss of control of the truck on a bend, causing the vehicle to overturn. An investigation was carried out to analyze the causes. Actions were taken to prevent the immediate and underlying causes. Some of them have focused improving the assessment of the usual routes from field sites to the main logistics points.
At Repsol, occupational safety indicators are reported in accordance with the internal incident management standard based on international standards (IOGP and OSHA). Incidents are classified according to the seriousness of both their real and potential consequences.
| Occupational incidents | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Very serious | 1 | 2 |
| Serious | 1 | 1 |
| Moderate | 80 | 81 |
| Minor | 41 | 69 |
| Trivial | 4 | - |
| TOTAL | 127 | 153 |
The Company has set targets for reducing the TRIR since 2014. In 2019, the TRIR fell by 22% compared to 2018, for both own staff and contractors. This drop was mainly due to a 43% reduction in incidents whose consequences did not cause loss of worked days.
Repsol is driven by an ambition to achieve a zero accident rate, based on the conviction that all accidents are avoidable. To minimize the risks that can cause harm to the people involved in our operations, the Company has 10 Basic Safety Rules. These rules are mandatory for all employees and contractors, and represent a commitment by the Company to provide our people with the appropriate tools to reduce exposure to hazards in the performance of their jobs.
Additionally, we explore the possibilities offered by technology and digital tools to minimize exposure to hazards.
Development of a safety culture
Repsol continues to work so that the safety culture within the whole organization is increasingly robust and becomes a fundamental barrier in the prevention of major accidents. Only from the commitment of all the people who make up the organization is possible to build a work environment in which safety is consolidated as a fundamental value presents in all decisions and daily actions.
In addition to the diagnostics of the safety culture and reinforcement workshops of previous years, this year's diagnostics were carried out in the Engineering Division, Repsol´s service stations operated network in Spain and Portugal, the lubricants, asphalts and specialities business unit, and the mobility unit in Peru. A total of 16 Repsol businesses and assets have undergone safety culture assessment processes. The assessments are carried out by an independent team, following the best available practices. The outcome of each diagnostic focuses on identifying the organizational factors that may limit the efficiency of work processes.
Simultaneously, Repsol continues to drive consideration of Human and Organizational Factors in its processes, and is an active participant in the main sectoral associations (CCPS, IOGP) and in specific working groups, focused on aspects of Human Factors and Safety Leadership.
The driving force of transformation toward a safety culture is leadership. We have rolled out specific training and awareness actions such as Safety Leap, an ambitious worldwide program. In addition, both internal and external promotion activities are carried out, in which cultural and organizational elements that identify an excellent company are detailed.
Emergencies and crisis management
The Company does its utmost to prevent accidents. In addition, Repsol is working on mechanisms that aid early detection and swift and effective management of emergencies.
The Company continues to make progress in the deployment and improvement of the comprehensive emergency and crisis management model, which encompasses industry best practices. This model includes management of emergencies at facilities and businesses, and involves senior management for the most serious cases, with specific support teams that ensure the assignment of the highest priority required in each case. Proof of this is the approval and launch of the new Crisis and Emergency Management Standard, which ensures compliance with several key requirements:
• Implementation of internal requirements in emergency management throughout Repsol, providing uniformity regardless of location or business.
• Ensuring a minimum management standard that is more stringent than the most advanced regulations.
The standard also describes the model and levels of emergency and crisis management, and establishes the information flow that allows management to be raised to the appropriate level, as well as the minimum levels of training and simulation exercises at all levels.
The operation of this model is supported through frequent training activities, drills and exercises at all levels, including at least one annual crisis management drill at the highest level of the Company, led by the CEO. At its central offices and offices in countries in which the Company operates, Repsol has resources, technology and areas that are exclusively used for crisis management support and training.


Safety Leap
In 2019, the global roll-out of the safety leadership program known as Safety Leap began. The Executive Committee participated in the first edition of the program as an example of leadership and commitment. Through this initiative, the Company has reinforced its message that a qualitative step forward is essential in the actions of leaders to continue improving our performance when it comes to safety.
The program is structured around increasing the perception of risk, not letting our guard down, promoting appropriate behavior and
Safety leadership program
providing the necessary tools: open communication, consistency, fair recognition, positive error management or transparency.
In 2019, the training was imparted to a total of 1,970 people. Although the program was initially aimed at people in leadership positions at the company (executive personnel and managers), in 2020 it will be extended to other levels of the organization.
6.4. Environment1
prioritizes efficient management of resources, promoting the Circular Economy.





Target:
Developing cross-cutting circular economy projects in cooperation with external institutions, working with all businesses across the Company.


At Repsol, the priority is to carry out its activities while minimizing any potential environmental impacts, optimizing water and waste management, minimizing atmospheric emissions and considering biodiversity as a key aspect. Repsol relies on its team of specialized professionals, and on its active engagement in sector alliances such as IPIECA, CONCAWE, or IOGP.
Circular economy
The Circular Economy is a substantial part of the Global Sustainability Plan that operates within the scope of the efficient use of natural resources, applying criteria of maximum efficiency and minimum environmental impact, contributing to the mitigation of identified climate risks. The strategy on Circular Economy was approved by the CEO in December 2016 and is part of the key lines of action
up to 2025 within the Company's sustainability strategy. With the Circular Economy, Repsol seeks to:
- Minimize consumption of virgin raw materials
- Extend product lifespan
- Optimize production processes
- Minimize waste
- Manage waste by applying the principles of the waste hierarchy: prevention, as the best option, followed by reuse, recycling and recovery, including energy recovery and, as a last option, safe disposal.
The key steps forward in 2019 were:
- More than 200 circular initiatives identified since 2016, in 13 business units and areas of the company, of which more than 60% are being evaluated with strategic partners.
- Expansion of the external network to more than 360 contacts to contribute to the proposal and implementation of new projects.
- Expansion of the internal network with experts from other businesses and areas of the Company. (13 different areas now involved)
1. The figures and indicators in this section have been calculated in accordance with corporate standards that set out the criteria and common methodology to be applied in Safety and Environment (S&E). As a general rule, (S&E) information includes 100% of the data from companies in which Repsol holds a controlling interest or control over operation.
- Active engagement in more than 10 national and international working groups, such as CEOE, Chamber of Commerce, UNE-ISO, COTEC, IPIECA, World Economic Forum, Plastics Europe, CEFIC, CONCAWE, European Commission, etc.
- Membership of the Circular Plastics Alliance (CPA) in February 2019. Repsol participates through Plastics Europe, PCEP, SCS and CEFIC in this initiative, which aims to increase the volume of recycled plastic on the market.
With the aim of framing and reinforcing current initiatives, developing new ones and making progress in integrating circularity criteria into decision-making processes, Repsol has created a specific committee for the Circular Economy in 2019, with the participation of representatives of the Company's main divisions. The committee has approved the Circular Economy Plan, which defines the main lines of action for the coming years. Key actions include:
- Move towards quantitative analysis of initiatives through environmental and economic indicators that enable a better tracking of the above-mentioned initiatives, accounting for benefits generated and improvement of environmental parameters.
- Standardize and promote the definition, analysis and implementation of Circular Economy opportunities.
- Set concrete objectives at the Company level in line with the 2018-2025 Safety and Environment Strategy.
- Promote opportunities for industrial symbiosis and collaborative economy with third parties.
- Move forward with development of and investment in technologies that support circular projects as a key line of the Repsol Technology Lab.
- Continue investment in strategic circular projects through the Corporate Venturing area.
Water
Water is a vital resource for society. Water management is one of the main environmental challenges facing the Oil&Gas sector.
Ensuring water supply is essential to continue with all the Company's operations, which makes this resource a key element at a strategic level, and necessary to retain the license to operate.
Repsol has managed water for decades at its facilities, focusing efforts on developing methods for risk assessment and management and seeking new solutions to minimize the use of this natural resource, preserve its quality and deal with the climate risks associated with this vector.
Risk analysis and the Repsol Water Tool (RWT)
The Company uses the Repsol Water Tool (RWT) to analyse the exposure of its operations to the risk of water shortages. Risks are assessed both internally (measurement quality, types of water use, treatment technologies, etc.) and externally (availability, quality and ecosystems that are withdrawal sources or discharge receiving bodies, future water availability, regulatory and business risks, etc.). The tool enables us to identify businesses and facilities where it is necessary to make a greater management effort and the needs for action are a priority.
Since 2013, RWT has been applied in refineries, chemical facilities and E&P assets that account for more than 90% of the fresh water captured by Repsol operations around the world.
Market launch of the first certified circular polyolefins (see 5.2.2).

Ambition:
Excellent environmental management embedded in the decisionmaking process.
Bolivia
The activities performed in the Caipipendi Area (area of potential "water stress") require the use of water and could potentially cause an impact on this resource, which is mainly sourced from the aquifers in the region.
Against this backdrop, a hydrological survey has been performed to establish how these aquifers behave, to assess the sustainability of water exploitation, obtaining a model that makes it possible to simulate different scenarios.
Using this model, it has been possible to conclude that the operating water balance of the aquifer is currently positive (extrac-

tions account for just 1%) and that it has a high supply capacity. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that there has been no pollution of water bodies as a result of Repsol's activities.
The completion of this project has also entailed, for communities in the region, an opportunity to learn about improving the use of water sources to minimize pollution.

Target:
Integrating water management into 100% of our assets and industrial facilities of the Exploration and Production, Refining and Chemicals businesses.
Water
Use of alternative, non-fresh sources of water
The Company is committed to searching for and using alternative sources of water from third parties.
Efficient use of water
The Company is working to reduce water consumption across its range of activities.
Scheme of lines of action up to 2025

The industrial facilities in Tarragona uses non-fresh regenerated water from a wastewater treatment plant, thereby reducing the use of fresh water. In 2019, almost 11% of the total water consumed at the industrial facility (refining and chemical plant) came from the municipal waste water treatment plant.

During the construction of the access road and platforms for the Boyuy X2 well, pits to collect rainwater were set up, avoiding the consumption of 4,480 m3 of surface water bodies, almost the entire amount needed. During the drilling stage, 6,775 m3 that had been recovered from the
water treatment plant located on the site, were reused. This far exceeded the requirements under the environmental legislation in force (avoid extracting more than 10% of water sources), in addition to avoiding disputes with the local communities.
Internal reuse of water
Between 2015 and 2019, Repsol increased its use of reused water by 75%. In 2019, reused water accounted for 22% of the total water consumed by the Company, excluding water collected by the Electricity and Gas Business.
Reducing the impact during discharges
In 2019, a total of 39,147 kt of water was discharged, excluding discharges from the Electricity and Gas business. This made for a reduction of 21% compared to 2015.


for new uses of production and return water, reducing our reliance on the resource and reducing the need to extract fresh water from the environment.

In this area, water management is based mainly on complying with the requirements defined by the national or local legislation, such as, for example, the requirements promoted by the European Union (Best Available Techniques Reference Documents, BREFs); or the specific Business regulations, such as those established in E&P through the Environmental Performance Practices (EPPs) relating to
the quality of sanitary effluents and production water and their impact on the environment. Repsol's CoOpera Aguas task force is dedicated to diseminating knowledge of issues such as improving the management of discharged by units by controlling these critical parameters at the source, the implementation of best measurement practices or developing guidelines for treating effluents.
- Water consumed is measured as water captured, including water reused.

Actions for sustainable water management
Water withdrawal by activity
Water is one of the main issues to work on in the coming years, with a range of objectives set for 2025 as a result of the strategic rethinking on safety and the environment carried out in 2018.
Achievement of these goals requires accurate analysis of water-related risks, incorporation of the real value of the resource in decision-making processes, and nurturing of a water culture in the Company, Progress in 2019 is discussed on page 72.
The main fresh water sources are the public network (59%), surface resources (36%), and, to a lesser extent, underground aquifers (5%). In 2019, the Electricity and Gas business, which accounts for 6% of water withdrawal, has been included in the Group's consolidation.

| Water management | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh water withdrawn (kilotons) | 57,643 | 51,320 |
| Reused water (kilotons) | 15,679 | 17,368 |
| Reused water (kilotons)/ Water withdrawal (kilotons) |
0.27 | 0.34 |
| Water discharged (kilotons)(1) | 39,147 | 36,813 |
| Hydrocarbons in water discharged (metric tons) |
186 | 224 |
| Water withdrawn in Refining /processed crude oil (tons) |
0.80 | 0.75 |
(1) Refrigeration water in offshore operations is no longer classified as water discharged. The 2018 figure has been amended accordingly.
Discharged water of the Electricity and Gas Business is reported separately, as this water forms part of an open cooling circuit, non-fresh water is withdrawn and returned into the environment.
| Discharged water Electricity and Gas business | 2019 |
|---|---|
| Non-fresh water withdrawn (kilotons) | 205,084 |
| Water discharged (kilotons) | 205,172 |
The water discharged has increased by 6% with respect to 2018, mainly due to the incorporation of the Electricity and Gas business.
Natural capital and biodiversity
Natural capital is the set of ecosystem services provided by nature that contribute directly or indirectly to the well-being of people, the development of society and the global economy, Companies like Repsol depend on natural capital and their operations generate impacts on it.
Repsol is committed to mitigating potential impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services throughout the entire life cycle of its activities. It follows the principles established by the United Nations (more information at www.repsol.com):

Ecuador
In the Amazonian region of Ecuador, operations are ongoing in blocks 16 and 67, in the Yasuní National Park and Waorani Ethnic Reserve. In line with its corporate standards, Repsol has an environmental management plan that promotes the prevention and mitigation of potential impacts to secure the conservation of biodiversity, considering the biological sensitivity of the region, in addition to the regulations and best practices available.
Biological monitoring represents an essential part of the plan; this began 25 years ago and has remained a constant ever since. This includes performing research and monitoring tasks across several years and seasons (dry/
Yasuní biological monitoring
wet) in order to gather scientific information on the conservation of biodiversity and update fauna and flora species inventories. Based on the results, Repsol implements different biodiversity impact management initiatives, applying the mitigation hierarchy. An example of this can be seen in the replanting and reforestation actions that seek to protect habitats, control erosion, preserve native biodiversity and minimize the decrease of native coverage and decline in forests.
- Preventing, minimizing and restoring the environmental impact in all its operations, and especially in sensitive, protected or biologically diverse natural spaces.
- Integrate biodiversity and the protection of ecosystem services into the Company's management systems and decision-making processes, including environmental and social impact assessments.
- Taking part in projects of research, conservation, education and awareness-raising.
Repsol is working to enhance the integration of environmental factors in its decision-making process through the concept of natural capital in the financial assessment of impacts and dependencies on ecosystem-related services. To this end, it is developing a tool whose methodology is aligned to the Natural Capital Protocol, developed by the Natural Capital Coalition, of which Repsol has been an active member since 2017.
This tool will allow the Company to define which mitigation and restoration measures are most efficient and effective, more accurately follow their implementation and contribute to training and awareness raising on biodiversity matters and ecosystem-related services aimed at both Repsol employees and contractors, and local communities and other stakeholders.
Peru
Ecological restoration in Block 57: a sustainable synergy between communities, the State and the Company
Repsol is in the process of restoring two drilling platforms located in Block 57, in the Amazon rainforest in Peru, joining forces with local communities, the administrator of the Asháninka Communal Reserve and the State. To this end, the Company continued to focus on shared value, focusing on enhancing skills, the generation of local employment and restoration, supported by the local community.
In 2017 and 2018, the planning and analysis of alternatives was performed, in addition to the enhancement of capacities, the conclusion of inter-institutional agreements and calls for tender. In 2019, environmental permits were obtained and work began, completing the restoration of the area with more than 13,000 seedlings distributed across an area of 8.37 ha. Jobs have been created both directly and
indirectly, and more than 35,000 man hours have been needed, resulting in zero accidents and zero social conflicts. In 2020 and 2021, reforestation maintenance work and environmental monitoring will be performed to ensure the sustainability of restoration efforts.
To share these environmental best practices, this project has been submitted to the 2nd Peruvian Symposium on the Restoration of Amazonian, Andean and Coastal Forestry Ecosystems, held in Lima last November. Additionally, a national Peruvian ecosystem restoration network has been set up, which Repsol forms a part of.
Furthermore, since 2019, Repsol has participated with other companies in the spanish energy sector as part of a collaborative project to share best practices and lessons learned in the field of natural capital. This alliance has generated more detailed and up-to-date information about the value that natural goods and services offer to stakeholders and society, which will make the decision-making process easier to contribute to their conservation.

Against a backdrop of the transition towards a low-carbon economy, the systematic capacity to test, assess and adopt technologies and new innovative business models is essential in achieving the objectives defined in the new strategy rolled out by the Company.
In 2018, the Board predicted this trend and approved a new strategy in Technology and Corporate Venturing focuses on:
- Reduction of energy intensity and emissions of CO2.
- Sustainable and efficient improvement of the profitability of assets.
- Creation of a significant proposal to differentiate energy products and services with a highly customer-oriented focus.
In 2019; in line with the new commitments assumed by the Company to make progress towards zero emissions by 2050, work has been stepped up relating to the energy transition and decarbonization, in addition to the development of critical technologies in new models of distributed generation to facilitate the optimal management of electrical charges, including electric vehicles, which will make it possible to connect solar panels or energy storage systems. Repsol has acquired capital in Ampere Energy, a company specializing in the design, development and production of storage and energy management systems. In this vein, it
should be noted that Repsol has launched Solify, a new photovoltaic product for single-family houses that makes it possible to consume 100% renewable energy and enjoy savings in their electricity bills.
In addition, new developments have been made in terms of mobility, with projects to produce advanced biofuels with a low carbon footprint by harnessing waste. In terms of transport electrification, projects involving new electrochemical batteries and smart battery control systems are worth note.
In the field of reducing energy intensity and CO2 emissions, the progress made with the SUN2HY project, undertaken with Enagás, a joint venture, in the design of a pilot plant to generate hydrogen using sun power as the main source is worth particular mention.
In terms of the initiatives linked to circular economy policies that support different lines of the Chemicals business, worth mention is the implementation of the ZERO project to harness synthetic oils produced by treating, using new chemical recycling technologies, plastic waste that cannot be recycled using traditional, mechanical methods. These technologies transfer plastic polymers into hydrocarbons or pyrolysis oil to be reused in the petrochemical industry.
Concerning the development of carbon capture, storage and use technologies, progress continues to be made in the use of CO2 polymers to replace fossil energy sources. In 2019, the polycarbonate polyol production process was scaled up to an industrial level with the incorporation of up to 30% CO2, to be marketed by Dynasol (a joint venture in which Repsol has a stakeholding). Through Repsol's participation in the OGCI Climate Investments. Repsol invests in different CCUS initiatives, to develop projects that use CO2 as a raw material, through Solidia and Econic, and to develop capture and storage projects, through Investys, Clean Gas Project and Wabash Valley Resources, which is due to become the largest capture and storage project in the USA.
Furthermore, through OGCI Climate investment, Repsol invests in projects to reduce methane emissions and the efficiency of E&P operations, in companies such as:
- Kairos Aerospacial has developed a technology for detecting methane emissions through aerial inspections.
- SeekOps offers local methane emission detection and quantification services, using drones and mobile detectors. A pilot project is due to be carried out at Repsol, which is currently in the visualization and conceptualization phase.
• ClarkeValve, which has developed low-cost control valves that are capable of eliminating fugitive methane emissions from seal zones.
Venture Capital
Repsol aims to quicken the pace of incorporation of technologies and innovative business models in Company practices through an investment fund which is used to buy into start-ups offering solutions of advanced mobility, energy diversification, new materials, the Circular Economy, the reliability of our operations or digital technologies applied to exploration and production.
The Corporate Venturing operating model focuses on those six technological areas in order to complement the internal R&D capacities by bringing in external innovation. For the 2016-2020 fund, Repsol has committed to making a contribution of €85 million (by 2019, the fund had already invested €32 million). It currently holds more than fifteen stakes and joint development projects.
The investment process starts with the search for technological opportunities in the aforementioned fields and assesses the potential and suitability of the selected start-ups to Repsol's businesses. With a view to stepping up the harnessing of technology and the roll-out of investment, pilot tests have been planned at the company's operations that will make it possible to maximize the likelihood of success (further information at www.repsol.com).
In 2019, special mention must be made of the investments made in Artificial Intelligence firms, including Nnaisense or Belmont Technology, and in blockchain technology, such as Finboot, which was incubated as part of the Repsol Foundation Entrepreneurs Fund.
These investments contribute to the goal of sustainably improving the profitability of Repsol's assets and account for 22% of the investment made in 2019.
The investment in Low Carbon Technologies in 2019 came to 61%.
Furthermore, Repsol participated with its partners in the Oil&Gas sector in the OGCI Climate Investments (OCGI-CI), a vehicle for channeling \$1,000 million in investments over a 10-year period in start ups with a view to fighting climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions linked to the supply of energy. In 2019, Repsol has invested \$6 million in this initiative.
The investments made by OGCI in Climate Investments in 2019, in addition to the aforementioned Wabash Valley Resources y Seekops, are as follows: Kelvin, a US firm that Repsol considers that innovation and technology are key components of energy transition.


Ambition:
drive technological innovation as a lever of transformation toward sustainable business models.
develops artificial intelligence-based control systems, making it possible to reduce the carbon footprint of industrial facilities; Boston Metal, a US firm that has developed technology to produce steel and other metals more efficiently and in a more environmentally sustainable manner;
XL Hybrids, a US firm that produces electric hybridization systems that can be attached to internal combustion engines to reduce the CO2 emissions of commercial fleets; 75F, a US firm that develops advanced heating, air conditioning and lighting automation systems for commercial buildings that offers important savings on the consumption of electricity; Norsepower, a Finnish firm that designs and manufactures mechanical rotors that generate additional wind propulsion on large vessels.
In 2019, Repsol has been approved as a professional private investor by the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) to co-invest
in Spanish technology start-ups through the COINVERSIÓN INNVIERTE program.
Repsol Corporate Venturing has its own website: http://ventures.repsol.com. to give start-ups and other investment funds information on the team and enable them to contact it with proposals. Below are just a few of the investments made.
In 2019, 68 R&D projects have been carried out and more than 15 investments made in start-ups, obtaining 6 new patents. The process has been led by the Repsol Technology Lab, meaning the Company has received international recognition for its technology.

In Exploration and Production, worth particular note is the implementation of remote control operations centers, which makes it possible to connect all drilling equipment together using a single platform and state-of-the-art machine learning tools, making gains in efficiency and increasing the safety of operations. Along these lines, the development of virtual models of equipment, facilities and entire plants makes it possible to predict fault conditions and simulate their performance with a view to determining the best option to be implemented at the actual asset.
In the industrial areas, Refining and Petrochemicals, digital autonomous plant products have been designed that increase the security of operations and industrial mobility applications, helping to georeference and catalog incidents automatically, reducing repair times, improving safety and minimizing the impact on the environment.
Another is Smart Energy Management, which makes it possible to identify deviations of energy consumption with regard to the optimum in real time, proposing actions to correct them and reduce energy consumption.
In the Commercial area, Artificial Intelligence is used to support the Company's sustainable mobility initiatives by developing applications that make it possible to bring the client closer to Repsol's new range of low-carbon products.
The Company is also experimenting with Blockchain technology to promote transparency, improve traceability and identify new business models. This technology can revolutionize the way that emissions mitigation initiatives are measured, reported on and verified, which are an essential part of supervising progress with the implementation of emissions reduction commitments.
6.6. Responsible tax policy
Repsol is aware of its responsibility for the social and economic development of the countries where it operates and knows that the taxes it pays support development and welfare.
Therefore, the commitments assumed in the Group's tax policy result in responsible payment of taxes through application of good practices in the management of our tax affairs, transparency and the promotion of cooperative relationships with governments, while avoiding material risks and unnecessary disputes.

This commitment extends to the reduction of our presence in territories classified as non-cooperative tax jurisdictions on the EU list and other territories considered contentious for tax purposes by civil society organisations, although not included on official lists. In recent years, we have significantly reduced our presence in tax havens. Detailed information about our presence in tax havens and other controversial territories is available at www.repsol.com.

Target: Eliminate presence in tax havens.

Target:
Promoting cooperative relations and seeking out amicable solutions.
6.7. Ethics and compliance
Repsol has in place a range of procedures and an overarching action framework designed to ensure that internal and external duties and obligations are properly fulfilled. The Company's compliance function reinforces compliance culture across the Group and improves our ability to identify ethics and compliance risks. We focus especially on anti-corruption measures, money laundering and terrorist financing prevention, crime prevention, international sanctions, antitrust rules and personal data protection.

(2) Generally speaking, in all Internal Audit projects matters related to compliance with the Ethics and Conduct Code (ECC) are reviewed, although specific reviews of Code-related or corporate social responsibility-related matters were conducted in 25 projects in 2019.
Code of Ethics and Conduct
The Repsol Code of Ethics and Conduct was approved by the Board and applies to all directors, executives and employees, whatever the nature of their contractual relationship with us. The Code creates a frame of reference for understanding and putting into practice the Company's expectations as to each person's behavior, in light of the Group's principles of action. This year, Repsol ran a new
training action on the Code of Ethics and Conduct
for all employees in an innovative and dynamic web series format. The material focuses on anticorruption topics and personal data protection. In 2019 Repsol also introduced new rules to supplement the Code, dealing with gifts, hospitality, conflicts of interest and due diligence on third parties.
The Code of Ethics and Conduct is available at www.repsol.com.
The Company's Ethics and Compliance Committee manages the Repsol Group's system of oversight and compliance with the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.
Our Ethics and Compliance Channel
(ethicscompliancechannel.repsol.com) is opened 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is managed by an outside service provider. Employees and third parties can communicate with the Ethics and Compliance Committee directly, and confidentially or anonymously, in any language, to raise queries and report breaches of the Code of Ethics and Compliance or the Crime Prevention Model.
Fight against corruption and bribery
In its Anti-Corruption Policy, Repsol commits to preventing corruption and bribery by conducting its affairs in accordance with prevailing laws and regulations in all respects and in all countries where it operates, rejecting corruption in any form.
The Ethics and Compliance Committee is also Repsol's Crime Prevention Unit for the purposes of Article 31a(2)(2) of the Spanish Criminal Code. Repsol's prevention framework and response mechanisms facing breaches of the Code of Ethics and Compliance or suspected criminal offenses within the scope of the Repsol Crime Prevention Model are structured around its policies titled "Crime Prevention Model Management"1 and "Internal Investigations by the Ethics and Compliance Committee."
Repsol has a Crime Prevention Manual, which was updated this year in line with the latest development in criminal law. The Manual is designed to aid understanding of crime risk and the behavior expected of employees. In 2019, we ran a specific training program including in-person sessions for new executives, industrial facility managers and key personnel in certain countries (Peru, Bolivia
1. The Crime Prevention Model adopted by Repsol's management bodies is the prevention, detection and response system addressing potential criminal conduct within the organization. Corruption is one class of crime risk within the scope of the Model.

and Ecuador). A new online course addressed Crime Prevention officers and managers of related whistleblower channels.
Protection of Fair competition
The Repsol Group is firmly committed to complying with the regulations on the protection of competition in all its areas of action and in all countries it operates in and, therefore, this is a fundamental element of our Code of Ethics and Conduct
At Repsol, we believe in fair and effective competition on the market and we do not get involved in inappropriate practices that could limit free competition. Nor do we seek to obtain competitive advantages using unethical or illegal business practices.
Furthermore, the Company has been undertaking awareness raising actions, such as preparing materials and face-to-face training. The Repsol
Group has a mailbox and channel available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through which any employee and/or third party can file any query concerning compliance with the regulations on the protection of competition.
6.8. Supply chain
Supply chain
Management of the supply chain has a significant impact on the generation of jobs and local economic development. It must be managed sustainably to satisfy the expectations of communities in which the company operates.
Repsol's management system ensures compliance with ethical, employment, environmental, security and social standards, and guarantees risk management as follows:
Supply chain risk management
Due Diligence Rating Performance review Purchases and engagements Purchases and engagements In high-risk activities, bids are also considered in light of safety and environmental concerns. All suppliers subscribe to our General Terms of Trade, which covers safety, environmental, ethical and integrity matters. We examine matters relating to ethics, integrity, anti-corruption, sustainability, and more. Suppliers are required to adhere to the Code of Ethics and Conduct for Suppliers, which sets out ethical and social responsibility undertakings. Due Diligence Rating
Suppliers providing services and materials involving a higher degree of risk in economic factors are assessed on quality, safety, environment, and technical aspects as part of a continuous process. Furthermore, rating audits are performed.
Performance review
In the course of our relationship with a supplier and at contract expiration, we assess their performance as to safety, environment, the community, human rights and management to ensure that they met their commitments.
Environmental and social assessment of suppliers
Aspects of integrity, corruption and bribery were verified in 2019 by means of the Thomson Reuters external service World Check One on 5,733 suppliers. In 2019, a total of 67 supplier assessment audits were performed using the Repsol protocol, and among other aspects these carried out an onsite check with respect to human rights. 2 social audits were performed in 2019. No contracts were terminated in the course of the year due to the outcome of these audits. From the point of view of assessment of the tasks carried out by suppliers and contractors, 2,605 assessments were carried out in 2019 on 1,248 suppliers and contractors with respect to a range of environmental, employment, social and integrity issues.
Indirect economic impact. Encouragement of local contracts
Local suppliers have the advantage of supplying in close proximity to our operations, which occasionally makes for greater flexibility and adaptability to our needs, with a shorter response time.
Repsol creates opportunities for indirect employment in projects involving the construction of new plants or extensions to existing facilities, and also during drilling operations and shutdowns of industrial complexes. As a general rule there is a high percentage of local procurement and purchases, 81% of total purchases, especially in services involving logistics, civil engineering, catering, accommodation, vehicle and driver hire, doctors and rentals of warehouses and offices; and support services in information and management systems for local offices, waste management, parcel services, internal and external messaging.
Product safety
The management of safety throughout the life cycle of the products that Repsol sells is a key aspect for the company.
Safety is present throughout all phases, from design to the marketing of the products. Repsol has internal regulations in this field that establish the requirements for ensuring risks are appropriately managed:
- During design, by studying the possible adverse effects of products, identifying their uses and establishing risk management measures.
- During procurement, gathering information on raw materials.
- During operations, by means of the inherently safe design of facilities, the assessment of risks during operations and waste management.
- Safety measures are established for transportation. These internal regulations also include the requirement that when marketing a product, it must be accompanied by the necessary information to ensure that the customers can adopt the measures to handle products safely.
Furthermore, internally, a dedicated tool is in place that provides employees with product safety information.

1. In 2019, the purchase reporting criteria was changed to the Total Amount Awarded rather than the Annualized Amount Awarded, as this is considered to be more representative of actual spending in the country. Furthermore, the Rating data point includes the number of suppliers rather than the number of processes. The 2018 data has been recalculated based on these new criteria.

2. In 2019, as was the case in 2018, as part of qualification and audit processes, no supplier has been identified that breached the rights of freedom of association or collective bargaining of its employees, that has participated in child labor or that has submitted its employees to forced labor in any way.
3. Repsol defines "local suppliers" as companies established or nationalized under the laws of the country in which Repsol undertakes operations as part of which the supply will be made or service provided.

7. Outlook
7.1. General outlook
Macroeconomic outlook
In 2018 and 2019, world economic growth has slowed down, particularly in the industrial sector. Furthermore, concern about the potential contagion in the services sector has seen central banks react with stimulus measures to prop up domestic demand. Against this backdrop, the latest forecasts of the International Monetary Fund (IMF WEO January 2020) estimate that global growth will recover to 3.3% in 2020 (2.9% in 2019).
The growth of advanced economies is expected to stabilize at around 1.6% in 2020. This stability hides a slight upturn in the Eurozone (1.3% vs. 1.2% in 2019) and a larger slowdown in the USA (2.0% vs. 2.3% in 2019) on account of better fiscal performance.
The upturn in world growth can be attributed to the emerging economies, where
it is expected that the growth rate will bottom out at 3.7% in 2019 before increasing to 4.4% in 2020. In any case, the upturn in 2020 is due to the greater support provided by monetary policies and the recovery of countries under stress (Argentina, Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, India and Russia).
Activity is expected to decrease (greater likelihood that growth is lower than the base scenario). Amongst the risks, the possibility of a more sudden slowdown in China is worth particular note, given the current context of excessive indebtedness. Another risk would be the tightening of financial conditions due to the increase in commercial protectionism and uncertainties, which would be reflected in an additional drop in consumption and investment, generating a vicious circle between the real economy and financial markets.

Energy sector outlook
Short term
At the beginning of the year we expected that the gap between demand and supply seen in 2019 would narrow to form a closer balance in the oil market. However, we have had to revise that forecast in light of the outbreak of novel coronavirus, Covid-19, in Wuhan, China. Analysts' early estimates of the impact of Covid-19 on oil demand suggest a decline in the range of 200 kbbl/d to 500 kbbl/d in average growth for the year, concentrating in the first quarter and, to a lesser extent, the second quarter. On the supply side, too, output is falling off: around 1.5 Mbbl/d is being kept out of the market by geopolitical and technical difficulties in Libya, Nigeria, Iraq and Kazakhstan.
OPEC's response to the expected drop in demand is yet to be seen.
The International Energy Agency (IEA), after revising its estimate of global demand growth downward by almost 500 kbbl/d by reason of Covid-19, expects global demand in 2020 to rise by +830 kbbl/d to reach 101 Mbbl/d. Consumption by non-OECD countries is set to grow by +630 kbbl/d, while OECD economies will contribute an increase of +200 kbbl/d. The OECD category has seen positive growth in five of the past six years (with a slight drop in 2019). The IEA expects non-OPEC producers to raise output in 2020 by +205 Mbbl/d, with just over half of the increase coming from the United States +1.07 Mbbl/d forecast for 2020 vs. +1.67 Mbbl/d growth in 2019) and more modest contributions from Brazil and Norway. OPEC, for its part, may agree on fresh output cuts to counter the effect of Covid-19 on demand, although in its latest report the IEA expects OPEC crude oil requirements in 2020 to reach 28.4 Mbbl/d, almost 1.3 Mbbl less than the average for 2019.

quality. This scenario entails achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals relating to the use of energy, the fight against climate change and the fight against pollution.
In this scenario, total primary energy employed would fall at an average pace of 0.1% per year, falling from 13,997 million tons of oil equivalent in 2019 to 13,750 million in 2030. Oil would contract by 3 percentage points in the energy matrix and coal by 9 percentage points, whilst natural gas would be the only fossil fuel to increase its share in the matrix, up from 22% to 25% in 2030. Despite the gas power generation sector reducing its consumption, its capacity would grow in comparison to the current situation, as gas would increase its capacity to make the system more flexible.

(*) OPEC natural gas liquids excluded from output cuts.
As to gas price behavior in the short term, the weakness seen in 2019 is expected to continue into 2020. The current oversupply will be relieved to some extent by a slowdown in production in the United States. On the demand side, however, the mild winter so far and the coronavirus outbreak in China (the main driver of LNG demand) will put downward pressure on US gas exports, which will not not be easy to place elsewhere in Asia. Nonetheless, domestic demand is expected to be strong, especially for electricity generation and exports to Mexico.
Long-term energy sector outlook
On a global scale, hydrocarbons contribute more than half of the primary energy consumed. Specifically, 32% of global primary energy consumption is derived from oil, which is the most commonly used energy source, followed by coal (27%) and natural gas (22%).
In the coming years, the world should move towards a more sustainable scenario in which all energies are involved in the energy matrix, hand in hand with technology and innovation. In this connection, the IEA has reflected a scenario of sustainable development (SD) in its 2019 World Energy Outlook. In this scenario, the Agency believes the policies required to achieve sustainability on three levels: 1) universal access to modern energy in 2030; 2) limitation of greenhouse gas emissions to comply with the objectives of the Paris Agreement; and 3) reduction in emissions of pollutant gases associated with energy and significant improvement in air

In the IEA's SD scenario, renewable energies (excluding hydroelectricity) experience significant growth, increasing their share in the primary energy matrix by 6 percentage points by 2030 to 8%, which translates to average yearly growth of 13% during this period.

7.2. Outlook for business
In 2020, all areas of the Company will focus on fulfilling the commitments under the Updated Strategic Plan for the period 2018-2020 (as to shareholder return, profitable growth of Upstream and Downstream businesses, and new businesses emerging from the energy transition), within the framework of our bid to be a zero net emissions company by 2050. We set ourselves this ambitious goal in December 2019 (see section 2.4), becoming the first oil and gas company to do so.
The Upstream business will prioritize creating value over production growth, focusing on the rotation and active management of its portfolio that offers high-quality barrels and cash generation.
In 2020, our organic investment is expected to be around \$2,000 million with the aim of developing productive assets, with the main efforts focused on onshore projects or in shallow waters. By countries, the investment will be concentrated especially in the US, Norway, Trinidad, the UK, Brazil, Colombia, Russia, Mexico and Malaysia.
The Downstream business will move towards decarbonization by promoting of projects associated with the energy transition, in addition to generating new opportunities to create value. The main objectives are:
- In Refining and Chemical facilities, continue increasing plant reliability and flexibility, the orientation toward decarbonization and the introduction of energy efficient measures, which will contribute towards the continuous improvement of margins.
- Attracting value in the face of the new regulatory scenario set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) concerning the specifications for marine fuel by the Refining and Trading businesses, through the optimization of refinery production and harnessing opportunities provided by the volatility of the market.
- Promotion of projects associated with the energy transition. In Electricity and Gas, the company will continue to expand its customer portfolio and implement the renewable energy generation projects currently in the development phase.
- In Mobility, make progress with our strategy as a multi-energy supplier focused on the customer, with an integrated and differentiated value proposition, service and maximize the value of the business and consolidate our competitive position, optimizing operations.
• Continue with the international expansion of other businesses such as Lubricants, Mobility, Trading and LPG.
Repsol's clear commitment to projects associated with the energy transition and other incentives to expand the Downstream business are reflected in the investor efforts anticipated; in 2020, these are expected to come to €1.9 billion.
In 2020, the focus will also stay on efficiency in corporate areas (Corporate), automating processes and contributing to the profitability of the entire organization.
In line with the commitment to improving shareholder returns, in 2020, the dividend, paid out using the scrip dividend formula, is due to increase to €1 per share, with reductions in capital through the amortization of treasury shares that will prevent the dilution of those choosing to receive their payout in cash. It is also worth note that, pursuant to the decision taken in June 2019 by the Board of Directors, the additional amortization of 5% of the Company's share capital at December 31, 2018 shall be submitted for approval at the Annual General Meeting.
In the current environment, Repsol expects that in 2020 it will be able to generate cash to finance its investment needs and remunerate its shareholders.
Repsol will continue to make progress with the Digital Transformation, promoting business models and projects that break the mould in the energy sector, with a view to offering solutions and offering value to the entire value chain. In 2020, Upstream will continue to work on projects that seek to reduce the profitability threshold, optimizing the development of assets, improving the efficiency of operations and guaranteeing safety. In the industrial areas, the aim will be to maximize the margin, improving integrated planning and programming, committing to operational excellence, reliability and operational safety. In the commercial businesses, digitalization projects seek to maximize the cash flow through integrated planning and operations, an analytical price strategy, workforce training, new business models and a customer-oriented approach. Finally, the aim of Corporate projects is to improve efficiency and employee satisfaction through robotic process automation (RPA), an improved user experience, Big Data and Advanced Analytics.
As an additional lever, the Technology strategy will allow us to have the best alliances and partners in innovative disciplines, giving support to businesses to improve their competitiveness in the medium and long term and providing agility and efficiency.

Appendix I. Alternative performance measures
Repsol's financial disclosures contain figures and measurements prepared in accordance with the regulations applicable to financial information, as well as other measurements prepared in accordance with the Group's Reporting Model1 known as Alternative Performance Measures (APMs). APMs are measures which are "adjusted" compared to those presented under IFRS-EU or with Information on Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Activities2 , and the reader should therefore consider them in addition to, but not instead of, the latter.
APMs are highly useful for users of financial information as they are the measures employed by Repsol's Management to evaluate its financial performance, cash flows, or its financial position when making operational or strategic decisions for the Group.
Certain APMs have been affected by the application of IFRS 16 (see Note 3.2.1 to the consolidated Financial Statements), which means that some of the measures compared between the periods are less representative.
1. Financial performance measures
Adjusted net income
Adjusted net income is the key financial performance measurement which Management (Executive Committee) consults when making decisions.
Repsol presents its segment results including joint ventures and other companies which are jointly managed in accordance with the Group's investment percentage, considering operational and economic indicators within the same perspective and degree of detail as those for companies consolidated under the full consolidation method. Thus, the Group considers that the nature of its businesses and the way in which results are analyzed for decision-making purposes is adequately reflected.
Adjusted net income is calculated as the Result from continuing operations at Current Cost of Supply(CCS3 ) net of taxes and the result from investments minority interests.without including specific income and expenses (Specific items) or the so-called Inventory effect. Financial income corresponds to the adjusted net income under "Corporate and other".
Adjusted net income is a useful APM for investors in order to be able to evaluate the performance of operating segments while permitting increased comparability with Oil&Gas sector companies using different inventory measurement methods (see the following section).
Inventory effect
This is the difference between the Result from continuing operations at CCS and the result calculated as the average weighted cost (AWC, which is an inventory valuation method used by the company to determine its results in accordance with European accounting regulations). It only affects the Downstream segment, in that for the Result from continuing operations at CCS, the cost of volume sold during the period is determined in accordance with supply costs, and production during the year. Apart from the above effect, the inventory effect includes other adjustments to the valuation of inventories (write-offs, economic hedges) and is presented net of taxes and minority interests. Repsol management considers that this measurement is useful for investors, considering the significant variations arising in the prices of inventories between periods.
The AWC is a generally-accepted European accounting method which measures inventories, in that it contemplates purchase prices and historic production costs, valuing inventory at the lower between this cost and its market value.
1. See Note 4, "Segment reporting," to the consolidated Financial Statements.
2. The oil and gas Exploration and Production information, which is compiled and disclosed by the Group annually, is prepared in accordance with the principles generally accepted in the oil and gas industry and, specifically, is based on the disclosure criteria outlined in Topic 932 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
3. The Current Cost of Supply (CCS), commonly used in this industry to present the results of Downstream businesses which must work with huge inventories subject to continual price fluctuations is not accepted under European accounting regulations, yet does enable comparability with other sector companies as well as monitoring businesses. As a result of the foregoing, Adjusted Net Income does not include the so-called Inventory Effect. Profit from continuing operations at the current cost of supply (CCS) is equal to EBIT CCS.
Special items
Significant items of which separate presentation is considered convenient to easily monitor the ordinary management of business operation. It includes capital gains/losses arising from divestment, restructuring costs, impairments, provisions for risks and expenses and other major income or expense items outside the ordinary management of the businesses. Special items are presented net of taxes and minority interests.
We present below the special items for the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2018 and the annual aggregate.

EBITDA:
EBITDA ("Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization") is a financial indicator which determines the operating margin of a company prior to deducting interest, taxes, impairment, restructuring costs, and amortization. Since it does not include financial and tax indicators or accounting expenses not involving cash outflow, it is used by Management to evaluate the company's results over time, for a more straightforward exercise in making comparisons with other companies in the Oil&Gas sector.
EBITDA is calculated as Operating Income + Amortization + Impairment as well as other items which do not represent cash inflows or outflows from transactions (restructuring, capital gains/losses from divestment, provisions etc.). Operating income corresponds to the result from continuing operations at weighted average costs (WAC). In cases in which the Result from continuing operations at current cost of supply (CCS) is used, it is considered EBITDA at CCS.

ROACE:
This APM is used by Repsol Management to evaluate the capacity of its operating assets to generate profit, and therefore measures invested capital (equity and debt).
ROACE ("Return on average capital employed") is calculated as: (Adjusted Net Income - considering the expense for operating leases for the corresponding instalments specified in the contracts, instead of the expense for amortization of the right
of use recognized under IFRS 16, excluding Finance Income + Inventory Effect + Special items) / (Average Capital employed of the period from continuing operations, which measures own and external capital invested in the company, and corresponds to Total Equity + Net debt). It includes that which corresponds to joint ventures or other companies whose operations are generated as such.

2. Cash flow measures
Cash flow from operations, free cash flow, cash generated and liquidity:
The three main measurements used by the Group's management to evaluate the generation of cash flow in the period are Cash flow from operations, the Free cash flow and Cash generated.
The cash flow from operations measures generation of cash from operating activities, and is calculated as: EBITDA +/- Changes to current capital (also called Working Capital) + Collection of dividends +Collections/-payments of income tax + Other collections/-payments from operating activities.
The free cash flow (FCF) measures cash flow generation from operating and investment activities, and is quite useful for evaluating the funds available for paying shareholder dividends, and debt service payments.
The cash flow generated corresponds to free cash flow after deducting all payments for dividends, remuneration of other equity instruments such as net interest and payments for leasing and treasury stock. This APM measures the funds generated by the Company before financial transactions (mainly from debt issuance and repayments).
The following is a reconciliation of free cash flow and cash flow generated with the consolidated statements of cash flow prepared under IFRS-EU:

The following ratios are used by Group management to evaluate leverage ratios as well as Group solvency.
The Leverage ratio corresponds to Net Debt divided by Capital employed at year end. This ratio can be used to determine the financial structure and degree of indebtedness with regard to capital contributed by shareholders and entities which provide financing. It is the chief measure used to evaluate and compare the Company's financial position with others in the Oil&Gas sector.
Debt coverage correspond to Net debt divided by EBITDA, and makes it possible to evaluate the company's capacity for repaying external financing over a number of years (x times), as well as to compare it to similar sector companies.
The Solvency ratio is calculated as Liquidity (section 2 of this Appendix) divided by Current Gross debt, and is used to determine the number of times the Group may handle its current debt using its existing liquidity.
Interest cover is calculated in the same way as debt interest (which comprises finance income and expense, without considering the lease expenses, divided by EBITDA. This ratio is a measurement that can determine the company's ability to cover interest payments with its EBITDA.

Appendix II. Risk Risk management
Repsol's Integrated Risk Management System - [SGIR]
Repsol has an Integrated Risk Management System designed to identify, analyze, and manage risks from a global perspective. The Integrated Risk Management System (SGIR in Spanish) provides a comprehensive and reliable view of all risks that might affect the Company. The SGIR is based on a Risk Management Policy approved by the Board of Directors and its principles are specified in the Integrated Risk Management Standard approved by the Executive Committee.
The fundamental pillars of the SGIR are:
- Senior Management leads integrated risk management.
- The risk perspective is integrated into management and decision-making processes.
- Businesses and corporate areas play a role in the implementation of the model with different levels of responsibility and specialization (risk management units, supervisory units and audit units, in accordance with the
Three Lines of Defense Model) as well as the Risk Unit , which governs and coordinates the system.
- It ensures that risks are identified, assessed and addressed in accordance with the guidelines of ISO 31000.
- Promotion of continuous improvement to gain efficiency and responsiveness.
Another key element is the risk tolerance declaration, which is set out in the Risk Management Policy along with the above principles. Repsol aspires to a low-to-medium risk profile that is appropriate for an integrated and diversified energy company, differentiating between risks in which the Company is ready to accept exposure within its overall tolerance threshold, and others in which it seeks to reduce exposure to levels as low as reasonably possible. The latter type would include accident, environmental, health, safety, ethics and conduct, image and reputation and compliance risks.

ISO 31000 Risk Management - Principles and guidelines
Below are details on the Company bodies involved in the definition, implementation, monitoring and supervision of the SGIR, as well as their responsibilities:
Board of Directors
Adopts the Company's overall strategy and policies, including the risk control and management policy and oversight of internal reporting and control mechanisms.
Audit and Control Committee
Regularly reviews the performance of Internal Control, Internal Audit and Risk Management systems to identify, manage and raise awareness of the main risks.
Sustainability Committee
Evaluates risk control and management systems in non-financial domains within its areas of focus.
Executive Committee
Approves governance elements in the field of risk management, monitors the correctness of the risk management implementation and monitors the Company's risk performance, including integration of the risk perspective in decision-making processes.
Risk Management Units
Responsible for the direct risk management in day-to-day operations (identify, analyze, evaluate and treat risks).
Risk Oversight Units
Oversight Units: governance units that specialize in certain risk classes and support wich oversee the implementation of effective risk
management practices at Management Units by providing ongoing advice.
Risk Unit: ensures that risk management is comprehensive end-to-end, standardized and exhaustive, and effectively shapes
decision-making processes. The Risks Unit seeks to ensure that the risk assessment process is based on standard methods of risk identification and evaluation across all areas concerned, so as to characterize risks simply and robustly, quantify their frequency or probability and potential fallout in terms of economic loss, reputation, image and/or for people. To create the Group's Risk Map, the Risks Unit annually coordinates the drafting of individual maps for each Management Unit.
Risk Audit Units
Risk Audit Units evaluate the design and effectiveness of risk management systems to ensure that risks are properly identified, measured, prioritized and controlled in accordance with current standards and best practices in the industry.
In accordance with the risk management system, Repsol decides to what extent each of the identified risks is assumed, mitigated, covered or averted as far as possible. Among the main measures adopted by the Company are the following:
- Establishment of policies, standards, procedures, manuals and guidelines.
- Analysis and measurement of different risk-related variables, as well as the performance of an analysis of their sensitivity.
- Definition, monitoring and continuous evaluation of the design and operation of the Group's internal control and compliance1 systems.
- Contracting of insurance coverage.
In this regard, as part of the periodic updating of the Risk Map, the Company is working on identifying new lines of response and consolidating existing ones, mainly through mitigation actions, for the most relevant risks.
In particular, for certain highly-critical risks, Repsol is working on a methodology which makes it possible to gain an holistic understanding of the factors leading to their materialization and consequences, in order to prevent their occurrence and/or reduce their impacts (preventive and contingency measures).
In addition, Repsol has various units for analysis, supervision and independent and response control, specializing in various risk management areas 2 in addition to an Internal Audit Unit
focused on evaluating and improving existing controls in order to verify that potential risks that could affect the achievement of the Group's objectives are reasonably identified, measured and controlled.
System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR)
The Repsol Group has a System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR) whose correct functioning can reasonably ensure the reliability of the Group's financial reporting. The ICFR model is based on the methodological framework of COSO 2013 (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) as set out in their report Internal Control-Integrated Framework, which provides an integrated framework for internal control over financial reporting that is designed to ensure that transactions are recorded faithfully, in conformity with the applicable accounting framework, providing reasonable assurance in the prevention or detection of errors that might have a material impact on the information contained in consolidated Financial Statements. The Audit, Control and Risk Managing Division annually evaluates the design and functioning of the Group ICFR and draws conclusions on its effectiveness.
Main risks
In relation to the risks occurring in 2019, and considering the provisions of Note 15 regarding provisions and disputes, on Note 21 regarding impairment of assets and geostrategic risks, and on Note 23 regarding taxes, of the 2019 Financial Statements with the control systems employed by the Company having worked correctly, making it possible to manage these risks accordingly.
The main risks identified in section 2.3 of this document are detailed below:
Financial and market risks
Fluctuations in the reference price of hydrocarbons, derivative products and other commodities (electricity and the price of CO2 emission rights)
Crude oil prices are subject to exogenous factors and therefore to volatility, as a consequence of fluctuations in international supply and demand, impacted by the geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, OPEC influence, technological changes, the energy transition process or natural disasters.
On average, the price of Brent crude in 2019 stood at 64\$/bbl, 10% down on the 2018 average. On average, the HH gas price was 2.6\$/ Mbtu in 2019, 16.1% down on the 2018 average. For more information regarding the evolution of hydrocarbon price in 2019, see section 3.2. of this report, and its expected evolution in 2020 in section 7.1.
The reduction in crude and gas oil prices adversely affects the profitability of Upstream activity, the valuation of its assets, its capacity to generate cash and its investment plans. A significant drop in capital investment could negatively affect Repsol's ability to replace its crude oil and gas reserves.
In turn, the price of international crude oil and its derivatives can impact the value of inventories stored in the Downstream segment. The price of finished products can also affect demand for them.
In addition to the macroeconomic environment, the scenarios associated with the energy transition process and the effects of climate change can affect the price of other commodities like electricity and CO2 emission allowances.
Finally, it is worth considering that any potential deviations in price with regard to the Group's forecasts may also be beneficial.
1. Repsol has an Integrated Internal Control model, inspired by the COSO reference framework, which consists, in addition to other tools, of the Group's formally developed Internal Control and Compliance Systems, including the Internal Financial Reporting Control System, the Regulatory Compliance Programme for the formal legal obligations of legal entities belonging to the Group and the Crime Prevention Model of the Group's Spanish companies.
2. The following areas are worth particular note: Sustainability, Corporate Security, Legal Counsel, Communications, CIO and CDO, Institutional Relationships, Strategy and Planning, Economic and Tax Matters, Financial Development and Rating Agencies, Technology and Corporate Venturing, Corporate Governance, People and Organization, Purchasing and Contracting, Technical Development and Safety and Environment E&P, Technical Industrial Area and Engineering.
| Competitive depositioning | The activity of the energy industry takes place in the context of a highly competitive sector. Such competition may be increased by a number of factors including the entry of new competitors, changes in market conditions, expiry of administrative concessions, technological obsolescence or insufficient differentiation. The combined effect of these factors may affect market share and margins. |
|---|---|
| Drop in demand |
Should demand for crude oil, gas, electricity or oil derivatives drop beneath the Group's forecasts, the results of its main businesses would be adversely affected (E&P, Refining, Marketing, Chemicals, Trading, LGP, Electricity and Gas, etc.) as this would affect business volume. Amongst the factors that could affect demand, particular mention should be made of the slowdown in growth in countries where the Group is most exposed, trade tensions between the major powers and climate change and energy transition scenarios. |
| Regulatory and litigation risks | |
| Administrative, judicial and arbitration proceedings |
The Repsol Group is subject to the effects of administrative, judicial and arbitration proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business whose scope, content and outcome cannot be predicted with precision. For further information on some of these proceedings, see Note 15.2 of the consolidated Financial Statements. |
| Regulatory risks: | The energy industry and the Group's activity is heavily regulated. The current regulatory framework affects aspects such as the environment, competition, taxation, employment, industrial safety and IT security, among others. Any changes that may be made to the applicable standards or their interpretation or any disputes in terms of compliance therewith, may adversely affect the business, results and financial position of the Repsol Group. In particular, the regulatory aspects that generate this exposure include tax regulations and their interpretation, the wide variety of |
| environmental and safety regulations (environmental product quality, air emissions, climate change and energy efficiency, extraction technologies, water discharges, remediation of soil and groundwater and the generation, storage, transport, treatment and final disposal of waste materials), accounting and transparency regulations, competition rules, legal occupational regulations and data protection provisions. |
|
| Furthermore, Repsol reports on proven oil and gas reserve estimates that involve inherent uncertainty in the assessment process that is subject to judgments and estimates (see Note 3 of the consolidated Financial Statements). |
|
| In addition, Repsol may be affected by the existence of sanctions and trade embargo regimes adopted by the EU, its Member States, the US or other countries, as well as supranational bodies such as the United Nations, on certain countries in which it operates and/or companies or individuals based in them. |
|
| Geostrategic risks | |
| Arbitrary actions and loss of assets due to government decisions: |
Part of Repsol's activities are carried out in countries that present or may present scenarios of social, political or economic instability that could lead to situations such as the increase of taxes and royalties, the establishment of production limits and volumes for exports, mandatory renegotiations or annulment of contracts, regulation of product prices, nationalization, expropriation or confiscation of assets, loss of concessions, changes in government policies, changes in commercial customs and practices or delayed payments, among others. |
| Specifically, Repsol operates in countries with special geopolitical risk such as Venezuela, Libya, and Algeria. For further information, see Note 21.3 of the Group's consolidated Financial Statements. |
|
| Operational risks | |
| Accident rate | Repsol's industrial and commercial assets (refineries, petrochemical complexes, regasification plants, power generation plants, bases and warehouses, port facilities, pipelines, ships, tanker trucks, service stations, etc.) as well as E&P's own facilities (exploratory or production wells, surface facilities, oil platforms, etc.), both onshore and offshore, are exposed to accidents such as fires, explosions, toxic product leaks and environmental incidents with a large potential impact. Such accidents may cause death and injury to employees, contractors, residents in surrounding areas, as well as damage to the assets and property owned by Repsol and third parties as well as damage to the environment. The Repsol Group is exposed to impacts from any type of damage or temporary interruption of service associated with accidents in |
| operations or involving land, sea, river and air transport vehicles for people, substances, goods and equipment. | |
| Deviations in organizational management and employees management |
The Repsol Group is exposed to negative impacts arising from the management of the organization and its employees, which constitute a key asset for the Group and which, in certain business contexts, may prove inadequate for achieving its objectives. The factors triggering such impacts include aspects such as talent attraction and retention, organizational structure, both in terms of design and dimensioning, and labor relations. |
| Errors and failures in production and/or transport processes |
The Repsol Group is exposed to potential impacts related to failures or deviations from planned results in the operation and/or maintenance of industrial complexes (refineries, petrochemical complexes, regasification plants and so on) or logistics facilities for transporting raw materials or products (gas pipelines, oil pipelines and polyducts), as well as in reserve operation activities, among others. |
| Attacks against people or assets |
In general, but especially in certain countries where it operates, Repsol is exposed to potential impacts deriving from acts of direct violence that may endanger the integrity of both the Company's assets, whether physical or logical, and of the persons linked to it as a result of the actions of persons or groups motivated by any interests, whether governmental or not, including, among others, acts of terrorism, delinquency and piracy. Noteworthy are the special safety conditions in Libya, where there have been intermittent stoppages of hydrocarbon production in 2019. |

| In 2019, Repsol acquired the recharging network and energy marketing services for electric vehicles from IBIL. As a result, Repsol's public recharging network now consists of more than 230 points, which represents one of the biggest infrastructures of its kind in Spain. Of these, 35 are quick charge points located at the company's service stations, positioning Repsol as a leader in electric vehicle recharging. Furthermore, Repsol has set up the first two ultra-fast recharging points for electric vehicles on the Iberian Peninsula at its Repsol service stations. |
|
| In 2018, Repsol invested in the US firm Ample Inc, which designs and sells robotized battery exchange systems for electric vehicles, which allows for the quick, automated replacement of dead batteries with charged batteries. |
|
| Digitization in mobility |
The Westmartpark project is a Spanish company that has set up and manages a network of low-cost collaborative parking where customers can park with savings of up to 50%, and owners of the spaces can monetize them during hours of off-peak use through an online platform and IoT technology sensors. |
| The Drivesmart project is a Spanish company that owns the Drivesmart application which applies metrics of safe, social and sustainable driving. Through a user's smartphone, Drivesmart compiles and processes information on a person's driving style. The result is an objective measurement of the quality user's driving, and it fosters improvement. |
|
| AutoGas | AutoGas is the most widely used alternative fuel for vehicles because it enables fuel savings of up to 40%. Repsol currently has 745 AutoGas supply points and is gradually expanding this network. |
| AutoGas with bifuel vehicles are fitted with two tanks: one for gasoline and another for AutoGas, thus doubling the vehicle's autonomy. At Repsol we have taken a step further in the use of LPG. The company has launched a technology development project with the Spanish company Begas Motor S.L. to develop engines for heavy vehicles (buses) fueled with autogas (LPG), so that they can be certified as ECO vehicles. In 2019, a significant milestone was reached in terms of the approval of the engine, meaning it can now be listed in the ECO category of the Euro VI Directive. |
|
| Distributed generation |
The Company has launched Solify, an integrated photovoltaic energy solution for individuals and companies that supplies 100% renewable energy, savings on electricity bills and efficient digital management. |
| Furthermore, with a view to applying this self-consumption solution to its service stations and other facilities, the Company has rolled out a project to equip its service stations with solar facilities to supply them with their own electricity. The project's pilot phase involves 30 facilities spread across the Iberian Peninsula, six of which are already up and running. This project will be expanded to other Repsol service stations throughout 2020. |
|
| New polyolefins with lower energy requirements |
In 2019, the Chemicals business developed the following products: • Three new grades of medium density metallocene polyethylene within the Repsol Resistex range, which contributes to reducing the thickness of flexible packaging and, therefore, less energy consumption per package, given the reduction in weight. • Change in the degree of high density polyethylene for milk bottles to achieve an increase in density that allows for a reduction in the thickness of packages, thus reducing the weight per package and therefore, consuming less energy. |
[G4-OG14] Volume of biofuels produced, shared and sold
As part of its medium-term vision, Repsol helps to reduce CO2 emissions released during transport through the use of biofuels incorporated in gasoline and gasoil. In addition, the Company is focusing on the promotion of projects of advanced biofuels (based on non-food raw materials) with a strong technological content and high reduction of the carbon footprint. Work is currently under way at the Technology Hub.
To guarantee the sustainability of its biofuels, Repsol has signed up to international frameworks that certify compliance with the sustainability parameters defined in the Renewables Directive (RED I) and the traceability of the raw materials employed throughout the chain of production, from their origin to the finished product. Specifically, at its industrial plants and centers, the Company's operations follow the ISCC sustainability frameworks1, and they have been certified under the National Sustainability Verification System (SNVS). The percentage of
biofuels physically incorporated into gasoline and diesel fuel in 2019 is higher than the minimum limits mandated by law.
It is worth noting that during 2019, biofuels manufactured using raw materials recovered from waste have been included in the portfolio, thus reducing emissions even further than is normally the case with conventional or first generation biofuels.
The total volume of biofuels incorporated into the fuels marketed by Repsol in 2019 came to 1,498,275 m3 , of which 576,953 m3 were produced at the Group's refineries and the remaining 921,322 m3 have been purchased from external companies and mixed in the appropriate proportion to respond to the specifications of gasolines and diesel fuels and the requirements of our customers. These biofuels have reduced emissions released during transport by 2.8 M of CO2. Repsol's biofuel production capacity is 871,000 m3 /year, divided up between BioETBE (429,000 m3 /year) and hydrogenated vegetable oil (GVO, 442,000 m3 /year).
1 . ISCC: International Sustainability & Carbon Certification. An international certification framework that covers all possible sustainable inputs for the production of biofuels, including agricultural raw materials, forestry biomass and other circular materials or renewable biological materials.

[102-38] and [102-39] Ratios of annual total compensation and percentage increase in annual total compensation
Repsol analyzes salary markets in the countries and business sectors in which the Company operates and sets its internal objectives on the average salary positioning of its employees with these external market wage benchmarks. The criteria for establishing the sought-after salary positioning are generally similar in all employee and executive groups. Accordingly, with the compensation policy, in general terms, the data in the table are affected by the typical salary dispersion of the country and business sector in which the Company operates.
On an annual basis, the budgets for salary increases are decided by employee group, and criteria are established for maximum individual increases. The increase of the average salary of the
entire workforce reflects the salary bills of the workforce of each professional group and the salary increase percentages applied to each group, both those approved by the company and those established through collective bargaining or by legal requirement. Further, the compensation of the highest-paid individual may also increase or decrease owing to variable components, which take on greater weight in positions involving higher responsibilities, even if the base salary remains unchanged.
In general there have been no substantial changes with respect to the previous year. In Bolivia, however, the increase was affected by variations in the variable remuneration of the highest-paid person.

(1) Data includes those countries that are most representative in terms of turnover, headcount and availability of the required information.
(2) In categories with a non-representative female or male workforce (fewer than 5), the ratio is not given, as it is considered statistically non-significant (N.S.). Where there is no employee in either gender, we indicate "not applicable" (N.A.).
Where there is no data available, we indicate "non data" (N.D.)
(3) Includes all executives, except the two Executive Directors.
Although there have not been significant changes in the values of the reported ratios, change with respect to 2018 is generally positive.
In the case of the manual workers in Spain, Peru and Portugal –a data point reported for the first time this year– the joint ratio that results from grouping the different businesses with their different salary realities shows a greater difference than each of the companies/businesses analyzed separately. For example, in Portugal the company with the highest difference among the various companies shows a 0.7 ratio.
The following shows the ratio of women's average pay to men's average pay, and data on the pay gap. The required data have been prepared maintaining the criteria and segmentation of the standard GRI indicators and following the requirements of the spanish legislation RDL 11/2018.

(2) Includes senior management and other executives except the two Executive Directors, whose remuneration is disclosed in section 30.1. of the consolidated Financial Statements, in detail and in itemized form, both for their executive and Board functions.
(3) Repsol operates in Spain, Peru and Portugal in different sectors and through different corporate entities that are subject to different collective bargaining agreements, which means widely different salaries, depending on the company and the sector. Most employees in these categories are paid salaries directly determined by the relevant collective bargaining agreements, which in no case set gender-based differences in pay. A combined analysis of the pay realities of different sectors under different agreements might be misleading. The gap reflected in the table is therefore the weighted average gap of the different companies operating in these three countries.
(4) To state a value that represents all employees in a country together and allows a more meaningful comparison, we have taken into account three differentiating factors: business/ collective bargaining agreement concerned, occupational category and employee age. This adjusted gap is reported here, calculated as the weighted average ratio of women's average pay to men's average pay, segmented by company, occupational category and age range. Considering together the employees of these countries, without any segregation, the average remuneration of all women divided by the average remuneration of all men would offer a gross gap of 0.74.

For comparison with 2018 figures in Spain, values for 2018 were recalculated by applying the segmentation and calculation criteria adopted in 2019 to the data for that year.
For the remaining countries, indicator 405-2 in this report provides a comparison of 2018 and 2019 data.
Variations with respect to 2018 in average remuneration and the gender gap are not very significant, and are mainly due to the incorporation of the Electricity and Gas business in 2019 and the workforce turnover.

[403-1]: Representation of workers in formal worker-company health and safety committees
Repsol has health and safety committees on a parity basis between company management and workers. The committees are local (workplace) or national, although this depends on the applicable legislation in each country. Some countries have
coordination committees for risk prevention activities between Repsol and contractors. In total, 86.70% of the Company's workers are represented on these committees.
These committees' general areas of action are: information on potential risks, assessment and preventive and mitigation measures of risks; monitoring of collective health; information and research on incidents and improvement actions; health promotion plans at the workplace; training related to risk prevention, among others.
Health and safety committees meet at least once per half year.

[403-2] Types of accidents and frequency rates of accidents, occupational diseases, days lost, absenteeism and number of deaths due to an accident at work or occupational disease
Repsol recorded no occupational illnesses in 2019, as documented in almost all countries by certificates issued by health insurance or medical care services. Only in some countries, due to data protection/privacy rules, it was not possible to access employees' health information.
In 2019, 1,640,064.92 hours of absence were recorded, compared to 1,247,096 hours in 2018. The 31% variation is due to the inclusion of data from Brazil, Bolivia, the United States and Canada, the companies Repsol Gas y Electricidad and Sesema, and an increase of absenteeism at Campsared. Hours of absenteeism caused by occupational accidents or professional illnesses are not included in the calculation of hours of absenteeism reported at the company's discretion.
[403-3] Workers with high incidence or high risk of diseases related to their occupation
Repsol generally carries out occupational risk assessments by job position. The specific procedure includes an analysis of risks, and assessment of them and corrective/mitigating measures with their corresponding periodic controls. Ergonomic and psychosocial risks are also assessed.
The assessments did not identify job positions carrying a high risk of occupational diseases. In some units and positions there is a risk assessed as tolerable due to exposure to noise, physical stress and/or repetitive movements, use of data display screens or exposure to chemical risks. To minimize these risks, we plan preventive activities, including technical improvements, health checks, worker health tracking, training and information, and emergency action plans.
In some locations we also consider a risk of contracting infectious illnesses, such as dengue fever, malaria, yellow fever, leishmaniasis, among others). Repsol provides vaccination programs, fumigation and pest control, continuous monitoring of vectors with these biological studies, among other relevant preventive measures.
One of the most significant general actions performed in 2019 in terms of specific risks was the unification of health information for each country: level of health risk, most frequent illnesses, general prevention advice, preventive advice for specific illnesses, vaccination advice, malaria prevention guidelines. Thanks to this initiative, the updating of information on changes to illness rates has been streamlined.
In addition to these general actions, the Company undertake various activities, by country:
| Country | Activity |
|---|---|
| Algeria | Specific sessions on health, focusing on medicine in the workplace for both BU employees and visitors. |
| Bolivia | Annual medical check-up and immunization campaigns. |
| Colombia | Smart musculoskeletal epidemiological, cardiovascular and psychosocial risk prevention systems. |
| Ecuador | Flu vaccination campaigns and worming campaigns for all staff in Quito - Bloque. Talk to prevent the physical risk caused by noise, measurements in workplaces. Nutritional talks, food health and food handling by catering staff. Safety talks: working at heights. Health week in Quito for staff and their family members. |
| Malaysia | Risk mitigation through health monitoring, control of exposure to noise and chemical products (mercury-vapor lamps). |
| Mexico | Informative prevention talks: ergonomy, active guidelines and fatigue when driving. |
| Venezuela | Prevention talks: Mental health, postural hygiene, prevention of illnesses transmitted by water, visual hygiene, stroke prevention, immunization, prevention of diarrhea and prevention of thrombosis when traveling. |
| Vietnam | Medical emergency drills. Update of emergency response protocols. |
[403-4] Health and safety topics covered in formal agreements with labor unions
The Company uses specific instruments in each country where it operates to track the implementation of occupational health and safety policies, standards and procedures.
Health and safety-related agreements with unions:
- Spain: An Occupational Health and Safety Committee comprising three members of Management and three representatives of each of the unions with a presence on the Negotiating Committee for the 9th Repsol Group Framework Agreement. The Committee examines the underlying philosophy and lines of action of prevention plans and general policies on occupational health and safety, and promotes measures to improve risk prevention performance at Repsol Group companies in Spain, covering 100% of relevant topics.
- Norway: Agreement whereby the Occupational Health Department, in partnership with the Health and Environment Committee and the Norwegian authorities will implement a two-year health and lifestyle advisory program. The program will run independently from health measures implemented in response to identified and assessed workplace risks. The aim of the initiative is prevention and early detection of health disorders, based on the Recommendations for Clinical Preventive Services (RCPS) produced by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).
- Peru: Agreement of the Occupational Health and Safety Committee to aprove the Annual Safety Program, as well as, the Annual Occupational Health Plan in La Pampilla Refinery.

Diversity and equal opportunities
Repsol has an Equal Opportunities Plan in place at Repsol Group companies in Spain, whose goal is to improve the occupational position of women in terms of their employment and career (see Chapter 6.2. People). With a view to strengthening Repsol's commitments to Equality, the following initiatives are worth particular mention:
- Renewal of the "Equality at the Company" certificate awarded to companies that are particularly committed to the application of equality policies.
- Adhesion to the Ministry of Equality and Social Affairs' anonymous curriculum protocol, designed to eliminate any possible gender bias that could occur in staff selection processes.
- Design of female talent maps in areas of business with specific initiatives to boost female leadership by 2020.
- In addition, we are members of the ClosinGap cluster, whose objective is to analyze the opportunity cost of the gender gap, the sixth edition of the "Women On the Way to Employment" program, the sponsorship of the "Hay Salida" race against gender violence, and the launch of REPSOL Digital Girls, an initiative to awaken STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) vocations in girls and young women.
With a view to enhancing inclusion, the Group has signed up to RED!, a reference forum dedicated to diversity and the inclusion of LGBTI+ employees.

Human rights
[412-2] Training of employees in human rights policies or procedures
Repsol promotes a culture of respect for human rights among its employees.
Since 2012, an online course has been provided on Human Rights Principles based on the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. In 2019, the course has been taken by a total of 48 employees, which is equivalent to 96 hours of training. The course "Prevention of Harassment" was attended by 39 people, equivalent to 39 hours, and "Overcoming Barriers" was attended by 120 people, equivalent to 120 hours.
[406-1] Cases of discrimination and corrective response1
In 2019, seven harassment cases were undertaken in Spain pursuant to the protocol for the prevention of harassment of the Repsol Group. Under Spanish legislation, the company is unable to provide any further details on the claims, investigations, handling or resolution of harassment cases for reasons of confidentiality.
Two complaints of discrimination were received the United States. Both were resolved. The discrimination complaint filed in 2017 was also resolved this year.
In Canada, no new cases were recorded in 2019. The complaint about possible discrimination on the grounds of race/nationality filed in 2018 has yet to be resolved. One dispute from 2017 concerning discrimination on the grounds of disability remains pending and has been taken to the Alberta Human Rights Commission and is awaiting a verdict.
In Norway, one case of harassment was filed in 2019. After an analysis performed by an external agent, a conclusion was reached that there was no discrimination and therefore the case has been closed.
Of cases reported in 2019, two cases of harassment were confirmed at by year-end, and none of discrimination, corruption or human rights violations.
Of cases reported in 2018, one case of harassment was confirmed, and none of typologies hereby mentioned.

[OG-11] Sites dismantled and in the process of being dismantled
At the end of a facility's useful life, the Company establishes dismantling plans to ensure that the necessary measures are taken to minimize the impact on the environment. Repsol also collaborates with the corresponding authorities to transfer the necessary responsibilities, once the Company no longer has a presence in the area.
The company has internal regulations on asset integrity and risk management, which ensure that any serious accident scenarios that may occur during dismantling are identified and evaluated, including those that may arise from interference with assets in operation. For each scenario identified, measures are implemented that seek to preferably eliminate or minimize these dangers, and when this not possible, control and/or mitigate them, so that the risks to health and the environment are tolerable.
In 2019, 50 service stations and 1 LPG factory (San Fernando de Henares) were dismantled in Spain, and the thermal power stations at Escucha, Puertollano and Tarragona are in the process of being dismantled.1 In the Exploration and Production business, work has been done in 2019 on the dismantling of 7 Lots. In the dismantling of Lot 57 in Peru, which affects the Mapi and Mashira regions, an environmental restoration plan is being carried out in both regions in agreement with the indigenous organization Eco Asháninka. The dismantling and reforestation work was
completed in 2019. Between 2020 and 2021, maintenance and monitoring of the reforestation work will continue, as will the social investment plan provided for in the exit strategy.
In 2018, there was no dismantling activity in the Exploration and Production business.
Environment
Non-GHG emissions
[305-7] Nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx) and other significant air emissions,
| SO2, NOx and NMVOCs emissions (t) | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| SO2 | 26,949 | 29,924 |
| NOx | 19,876 | 20,603 |
| NMVOC | 31,747 | 35,890 |
SO2 and NOx emissions in the Refining and Chemicals businesses are measured with continuous concentration and smoke flow analyzers. When there is no continuous analyzer, internal environmental parameter guideline are applied, where the methodology for calculating these emissions is established.
In the rest of the businesses, the environmental parameters guidelines are applied when the applicable regulations do not define a direct calculation or measurement methodology.
In the case of NMVOC emissions, it is estimated using the methodology established in the environmental parameter guidelines in cases where there is no applicable local regulation.
Disclosure of major atmospheric emissions by activity
Disclosure of major atmospheric emissions by activity

1, For the first time, the numbers reported considers the Downstream businesses, including Repsol Gas y Electricidad,
SO2 emissions were down by 10% compared to 2018; NOx emissions were down by 4% and NMVOC emissions by 12%. Mainly in the Refining business due to several maintenance shutdowns and emission factor updates.
Intensity of significant air emissions
tmospheric emissions per ton of processed crude oil in refineries and per barrel of oil equivalent (boe) in exploration and production assets are as follows:
| Refining | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Tons of SO2 /thousands of tons of processed crude oil | 0.50 | 0.53 |
| Tons of NOx/thousands of tons of processed crude oil | 0.15 | 0.18 |

| Tons of NO2/thousands of boe produced | 0.055 | 0.062 |
| Tons of NMVOC/thousands of boe produced | 0.088 | 0.115 |
(1) The intensive figures have been calculated using gross production of our operated assets, as reported atmospheric emissions include 100% of emissions for such assets, irrespective of Repsol's percentage of them.
[G4-OG8] Benzene, lead and sulfur content in fuels
At the Company's refineries, processes are being improved to ensure compliance with the required technical specifications at all times. Furthermore, both the commercial businesses and industrial facilities are working within the environmental limit established as a preventive measure for professional exposure. This involves contributing to improving the environment by reducing the release of volatile components into the atmosphere. All our facilities have been improved to limit the content in compounds, such as aromatics, sulfur and benzene; our most recent investment was in the construction of new units in Peru to produce diesel and gasolines with a 0.005% sulfur mass with additional limits on the content of aromatics and benzene. The Commercial businesses are also reducing the release of volatile organic compounds through the installation of operating procedures and systems.
The fuel that Repsol markets meets the current quality specifications applicable. Repsol sells mainly in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Peru and Mexico. Where fuel was not produced at Repsol's facilities, the Company has agreements with independent laboratories that carry out product analysis to ensure compliance.
| Maximum content | Europe | Mexico(1) | Peru(3) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sulfur mg/kg | 10 | 30 | 50 |
| Benzene %v | <1 | <1 or <2 | (2) |
(1) The maximum benzene content depends on the region of Mexico in which the fuel is marketed.
(2) Repsol specifications: National gasolines: 1% max vol.
Export gasoline: not specified, Engine gasolines: 2% max vol.
(3) The maximum sulfur content depends on the type of fuel.
Repsol fuels have a safety sheet and a technical sheet, where consumers can consult information on the benzene and sulfur content in gasolines and diesel fuels. This information is made available to customers and/or end consumers when requested.
Effluents and waste
In Repsol has internal requirements for Environmental Performance Practices (EPP) relating to the management of wastewater in Exploration and Production activities. In particular, the Company establishes water disposal plans (WDPs), where it assesses the impact of effluents on the environment where they are discharged and, in simultaneously, it uses the internal Repsol Water Tool (RWT) to identify the bodies of water involved, analyzes the risks in accordance with their importance for both biodiversity and for local communities and adopts mitigation plans.
[303-2] Water sources significantly affected by water extraction
There are 13 significantly affected water bodies, of which:
- 7 are rivers and 5 are reservoirs.
- 8 are part of or in the area of influence of regionally, nationally or internationally recognized protected areas, including 2 in Ramsar sites.
- 10 are classified as Key Areas for Biodiversity according to IBAT because of the value they bring to biodiversity.
- None has a use or value that is inconsistent with our activity, so it does not interfere with local communities or indigenous peoples in the area.
The standards, methods and assumptions used:
- % of water collected compared to the average value of the annual volume of the water body
- World Database on Protected Areas (IBAT)
- Ramsar Sites Information Service

Treatment of discharged water
The fluid effluents from the facilities of the Company are subjected to purification processes to minimize their environmental impact and ensure compliance with legal requirements. The type of wastewater treatment process is specific to the activity and the characteristics of the site. Treatment may be a physical-chemical (primary) process, completed with a biological (secondary) process, or even include more advanced treatment (tertiary process) or other specific processes for contaminants that are non-degradable using non-conventional treatments.
Main contaminants discharged
The main contaminants discharged at Repsol facilities are: hydrocarbons, suspended solids, and organic matter likely to undergo oxidation, measured as chemical oxygen demand (COD).

[G4-OG7] Amount of drilling waste (drill mud and cuttings) and strategies for treatment and disposal
These data do not include the amount of waste generated in drilling activities, the figures for which are shown below:
| 2019 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|
| Water-based cuttings and fluids | 31,796 | 42,605 |
| Non water-based cuttings and fluids(1) | 39,614 | 48,409 |
(1) The 2018 figure has been corrected because some of the cuttings and non-aqueous-based fluids from exploratory drilling in Bolivia were not accounted.
Management of waste from drilling operations (cuttings and fluids) is regulated by the company's internal rules and regulations called Environmental Performance Practices (EPP). These guidelines establish a set of standards that must be followed in Upstream activities and that are applicable to all geographical areas in which the company operates and regardless each country's specific legislation.
Biodiversity
[304-1] Owned, leased or managed operations centers located within or adjacent to protected areas or areas of high biodiversity value outside protected areas
As in 2018, Repsol has an internal information research and screening tool to assess potential overlapping of operating blocks with protected areas. The input data comes from the Proteus consortium with UNEP-WCMC11 where the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is obtained, which is integrated into the internal tool. This information is taken into account as a criterion in decision-making throughout the life cycle of projects.
In addition, Repsol applies the IPIECA and IPIECA2 and IOGP3 management framework for biodiversity and ecosystem services (BES). The framework quantifies the risk to biodiversity (species and habitats) and to ecosystem services, and the data is added to the business case of each asset.
Of all assets analyzed, those located in areas adjacent to protected areas and/or areas of high biodiversity value were:
| Bolivia | Adjacent to an IUCN4 area Cat, Not assigned or published |
|---|---|
| Ecuador | 34% of Block 16 and 100% of the Tivacuno block are in IUCN Cat. I. |
| Peru | 20% of Block 57 is located in the protected area of Machiguenga communal reserve, classified as IUCN: VI |
Although there is overlap in the areas under concession by the state (blocks), our operating facilities are not located in areas protected by the IUCN nor any international convention. Even so, due to the high biodiversity that exists in these three sites and as we have been reporting in recent years, we are implementing a
1. United Nations Environment Programme's World Conservation Monitoring Centre.
2. The Global Oil and Gas Industry Association for Environmental and Social Issues.
3. The International Association of Oil&Gas Producers.
4. International Union for Conservation of Nature.
biodiversity action plan in each of these assets to avoid, minimize and restore our impacts.
[304-2] Significant impacts of activities, products and services on biodiversity
Applying the mitigation hierarchy of potential impacts on biodiversity is fundamental for Repsol. The Company applies the IPIECA IOGP BES Management methodology. This methodology can be used to analyze the current situation of current exploration and production assets and projects and identify next steps to be taken. It is based on the study of the following areas: Integration of biodiversity and ecosystem services in management of the business, relations with stakeholders, construction of a biodiversity baseline, identification and management of potential impacts and selection of indicators. Further details at the following link:
http://www.ipieca.org/resources/awareness-briefing/ biodiversity-and-ecosystem-services-fundamentals-a-summary/
In this regard, Repsol continues to work on putting this methodology into practice in its operated assets and projects, setting medium-term objectives and developing work plans to achieve them.
Repsol's way of putting this methodology into practice was presented in 2018 at the international congress "SPE International Conference and Exhibition on Health, Safety, Security, Environment, and Social Responsibility" held in April 2018 in Abu Dhabi.
In addition, Repsol has developed a tool called "Repsol Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Tool (BEST-R)" to facilitate the implementation of this methodology.
This tool can implement a systematic and consistent approach when assessing Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in the Company's operations worldwide, since it is applicable to:
- The entire life cycle of the activities (projects and assets)
- All countries
- All ecosystems (e.g., land/marine, rainforest, tundra, etc.).
Although the impacts are assessed for each project using the company methodology, in general, the nature of the impacts on biodiversity in our activities tends to be: disturbance of wildlife, removal of vegetation, loss and/or fragmentation of habitats; alteration of ecosystem quality and diversity and introduction of alien/invasive species.
[304-3] Habitats protected or restored
Restoration is the third steps in the mitigation hierarchy. It consists of a process to assist in the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged or destroyed. Repsol has internal regulations that establish the requirements to be implemented in this connection based on the best practices in the industry. Repsol is implementing asset abandonment plans at its operations that ensure the restoration of habitats. In 2019, Repsol restored 234 hectares of land corresponding to different types of habitats, for example: forests, wetlands, crops, etc.) following the abandonment of its Exploration and Production operations (wells and pipelines, in addition to others). These activities took place at the Business Units in Canada, Ecuador, USA-Marcellus and Peru. The standards and methods employed were supervised by the corresponding independent local organizations and the condition of the areas restored at the end of activities is higher than 90% in all cases.
| Country | Size of restored area |
Location | Restored habitat type | State of area on restoration completion |

(1) Reported data include Exploration and Production activities in 2019.
[304-4] IUCN Red List species and national conservation list species with habitats in areas affected by operations
Repsol participates in the Proteus Consortium, where the UNEP WCMC make available to participating extractive companies information related to the distribution of the species listed in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and the protected areas. Repsol uses this information as one of the criteria in its decision making. Similarly, Repsol prepares environmental impact studies in all new projects, with the compilation of detailed information. Related to the presence of species in the territory. Repsol has the book created with the Smithsonian Institute that provides a catalog of indicator species of the health of largest habitats of the planet with the aim of being more effective in the management of impacts.
The following table shows the number of species classified by the IUCN with a potential presence in the Company's Exploration and Production assets.
| Number of species in areas affected by exploration and production operation(1) | ||||||

A. Executive summary
1. Presentation by the Chairman of the Board of Directors
The aim of our good governance practices is to ensure that both the Company's management model and the decisions of the Board of Directors and its Committees are focused on preserving the long‐term interest of our stakeholders and guaranteeing the group's sustainability. Our corporate governance system is in a constant review and improvement process, incorporating the main recommendations of the international markets and the latest trends in this area.
Our Board is composed of Directors with broad professional experience and diversity in terms of training, origin, gender and age. Following the latest appointments, the percentage of women has risen to 33%, 13% higher than in 2018. Among the main developments of 2019, it should be highlighted that the agreement at the General Shareholders Meeting on 31 May to reduce the number of Directors to 15 in line with the recommendation established in the Good Governance Code for listed companies.

Throughout 2019, the Board and the Committees have
continued working on the oversight of the most significant matters for the Company and on making decisions on relevant matters, such as the monitoring of the Strategic Plan, sustainability action plans or aligning the Company with the objectives of the Paris Agreement to have zero net emissions in 2050.
In this year, we will continue to work on the constant improvement of our Good Governance system, supported by the continued dialogue and the engagement with our interest groups under our principles of efficiency, respect, anticipation and value creation, involving them in the future of Repsol.

B. The Repsol Corporate Governance System
1. Regulatory Framework
The external regulatory framework of reference and the Company's internal regulations regarding corporate governance are described below.
1.1. EXTERNAL REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
Revised Text of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act, approved by Legislative Royal Decree 1/2010, of July 2 (the "Corporate Enterprises Act")
CNMV Circular 5/2013, of June 12 ("Circular 5/2013"), amended by CNMV Circular 2/2018, of June 12 ("Circular 2/2018")
It constitutes the main regulation that governs in general the functioning of corporate enterprises under Spanish law.
With regard to companies whose shares are admitted to listing on an official secondary market, particular mention should be given to Title XIV of this law, which governs the special characteristics applicable to these types of companies under the ordinary regime. Among others, according to the provisions of article 540 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, includes the obligation to report to the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (the "CNMV") and publish a corporate governance report on an annual basis (the "Annual Corporate Governance Report") as a Material Event.
This Annual Corporate Governance Report, corresponding to 2019, is prepared pursuant to section 540 of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), following the instructions established in Circular 2/2018 of the Spanish National Securities Market Commission.
In accordance with the option offered by Circular 2/2018, Repsol has decided to select the free format model, including the minimum content required by the regulations and the statistical appendix included in Circular 2/2018. This Report therefore responds to Repsol's desire to remain at the forefront in the transparency of its corporate governance system as well as to facilitate the shareholders' understanding of that information.
This Annual Corporate Governance Report has been approved by unanimous vote by the Board of Directors at its meeting on 19 February 2020
Good Governance Code for Listed Companies, approved by resolution of the Board of the CNMV on February 18, 2015 (the "GGC")
This is the reference framework in Spain on best practices regarding corporate governance. It is voluntary and follows the "comply or explain" principle.
With regard to the structure of the GGC, it should be noted that 25 of general principles (25) have been identified, which are those that inspire and underpin the (64) recommendations on each specific matter.
Degree of compliance with good governance recommendations
Appendix I of this annual corporate governance report contains detailed information on compliance with the recommendations of the GGC, as well as any relevant explanations, where applicable.

The complete and updated texts of the Company's internal regulations that are described below, as well as other corporate governance information and on general meetings, are available for consultation on the Company's corporate website(www.repsol.com), under the 'Shareholders and Investors ‐ Corporate Governance' section.
These regulations are reviewed on a regular basis in order to incorporate best corporate governance practices and maintain the highest degree of transparency of information in relation to the Company's shareholders and other stakeholders.

In accordance with the notice submitted to the CNMV on September 13, 2018, the shareholding of Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited reduces its stake under the 3% of share capital. Therefore, the Board of Directors on October 30, 2018, following a report from the Nomination Committee, agreed that Mr. Dahan should remain as Director based on his experience, knowledge, prestige and contribution.
The Company does not have any record of any family, commercial, contractual or corporate relationships between holders of significant stakes, or any significant relationships of this type or those arising from ordinary trading activities between the holders of significant stakes and the Company.

Restrictions on voting rights and nomination of members of management bodies
The exercise of voting rights corresponding to shares and its capacity to appoint members of the Board of Directors may be affected by the following regulations applicable to the Company.
Article 34 of Royal Decree‐Law 6/2000, of June 23, on urgent measures to intensify competition in goods and services markets ("Royal Degree‐Law 6/2000")
It establishes restrictions on the voting right and the ability to directly or indirectly appoint members of the management bodies of companies that have the status of principal operator in the same market or sector, including, among others, markets for the production and distribution of fuels, liquefied gases of oil and natural gas as well as generation of electricity. The main operator is defined as the entities that hold the five largest shares of the market in question.
These limitations are specified in individual or legal entities who, directly or indirectly, participate in the capital or in the voting rights of two or more companies that have the status of principal operator in the same market or sector, or have themselves the condition of principal operator in the same market or sector may not exercise the voting rights in a second company that has the same status of principal operator in the same market or sector, in a share of more than 3% of the total in the capital or in other securities that confer political rights of that other company, nor may they directly or indirectly appoint members of the administrative bodies of said company
These constraints will not be applicable to parent companies that are principal operators in respect of their subsidiaries that are in the same position, provided this structure is imposed by law or the result of a mere redistribution of securities or assets among group companies.
However, the Spanish National Markets and Competition Commission (the "CNMC") may authorize the exercise of the voting rights corresponding to the excess with regard to interests or the appointment of members of the governance bodies, provided this does not favor the exchange of strategic information among operators or imply any risks of coordination of their strategic actions.
Law 3/2013, of June 4, on the creation of the Spanish National Markets and Competition Commission ("Law 3/2013, 4 of June")
It establishes a procedure for controlling certain business transactions in the energy sector, among them the acquisition of interests in companies that carry out oil refining activities, transportation through oil pipelines and storage of petroleum products. All these facilities that are also considered as strategic assets.
In particular, the acquisition of a stake in the share capital that give a significant influence in the management of those companies that, directly or through controlled companies, carry out such activities have to be communicated to the CNMC who will be competent to hear such operations in accordance with the provisions of the ninth additional provision of Law 3/2013, of June 4, until the competent Ministry has the necessary means to exercise said competence. Said operations may be subject to the imposition of conditions relating to the exercise of the activity of the affected companies or to the purchaser, if the latter is not a national of the European Union or the European Economic Area and it is considered that there is a real and sufficiently serious threat that risks arise for the guarantee of supply of hydrocarbons.
Furthermore, and in line with recommendation number 1 of the Good Governance Code for Listed Companies, Repsol's Bylaws do not contain any restrictions as to the maximum number of votes that may be cast by a single shareholder, or impose any other restrictions that may hinder the acquisition of a controlling stake in the market.
Lastly, it should be noted that in 2019 the Company did not resolve to take any measures to neutralize a takeover bid pursuant to Article 135 of the Securities Market Law.

Shareholders agreements
The Company has not been notified of any shareholders agreements that affect it, and no concerted actions have taken place between its shareholders.
Significant agreements that may be affected by a change in control of the Company as a result of a takeover bid
The Company usually participates in the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons through consortiums or joint ventures with other oil companies, both public and private. The agreements regulating the relations among partners of the joint ventures commonly grant the other members a right of pre‐emption, in the case that any of the members in the cases in which one of the members intends to directly or partially transfer their participation. , in some cases, this could also be applied in cases of indirect transmission, that is, when a change of control occurs in a member.
The laws regulating the oil and gas industry in several countries in which the company operates also submit to prior authorization by the competent government of any transfer of all or part of licenses for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation concessions, and such authorization is sometimes also required for takeovers of the concessionary company or companies, especially the one that operates the mining business.
Treasury shares
At 2019 year‐end, the Company directly held:
10,408,231
Treasury shares
0,681% % of voting rights
Significant variations during the year
The purchases of shares made for retirement under the Redemption Programme, initiated on 30 August and ending on 5 November, in which 70,368,868 shares were acquired, should be highlighted.
Moreover, on 7 November, a share capital reduction was executed by means of the retirement of 71,394,987 treasury shares, each with a par value of one euro, approved by Repsol's General Shareholders Meeting held on 31 May 2019, within point seven on the agenda.
With regard to treasury share transactions, the Board of Directors is currently authorized to carry out the derivative acquisition of Repsol shares, either directly or through subsidiaries, by virtue of the authorization approved at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on second call on May 11, 2018, as item 8 of the agenda, the resolution of which is transcribed as follows:
"One. To authorize the Board of Directors for the derivative acquisition of shares of Repsol, S.A., by sale, purchase, exchange or any other onerous legal business modality, directly or through subsidiaries, up to a maximum number of shares, that added to those already own by Repsol, S.A. and its subsidiaries, not exceeding 10% of the share capital and for a price or equivalent value that may not be lower than the nominal value of the shares nor exceed the quoted price on the stock market.
The authorization includes the acquisition of shares that, if any, may be disbursed among the employees and directors of the Company and its Group or used to satisfy the exercise of option rights that such persons may hold.
This authorization, which is subject to compliance with all other applicable legal requirements, will be valid for 5 years from the date of this General Shareholders Meeting, rendering null and void, with regard to the part not used, the authorization granted at the Annual General Meeting held on March 28, 2014 as item twenty on the Agenda.

Promoting diversity
The Company has a Directors Selection Policy, approved by the Board of Directors on 16 December 2015, which establishes the diversity criteria, in a broad sense, that must be fulfilled with respect to the composition of the Board of Directors. In accordance with that policy, the candidates for Director must be individuals whose appointment favours professional, knowledge, nationality and gender diversity within the Board of Directors.
Moreover, the Board Regulations expressly grant the Appointments Committee the function of ensuring, when filling new vacancies or appointing new Directors, that there is no implicit bias in the selection procedures that may entail any discrimination, and women who meet the sought professional profile are deliberately looked for and included within the potential candidates, reporting to the Board on the initiatives adopted in this regard and their results.
Furthermore, article 32 of the Articles of Association establishes that the General Meeting and the Board of Directors, using its power of proposal to the General Meeting and of co‐option to cover vacancies, will ensure that professional, knowledge, experience, nationality and gender diversity policies are applied in relation to the composition of the Board of Directors.
The Appointments Committee is responsible for ensuring that the Directors Selection Policy promotes that diversity within the Board of Directors, as well as the establishment of a specific objective relating to the presence of women on the Board. Additionally, it prepares a competence matrix that is updated annually.
Moreover, Repsol's Global Sustainability Plan establishes a series of specific objectives and challenges for 2020, based around core points of the Sustainability model: climate change, people, safe operation, innovation and technology, and ethics and transparency. These objectives include the aforementioned objective relating to the 30% presence of women that was already surpassed in 2019.


Compliance with the Director Selection Policy
In compliance with the principles contained in the Director Selection Policy, throughout the year the Nomination Committee carried out an ongoing analysis of the structure, size and composition of the Board of Directors, as well as the competencies, knowledge and experience necessary on the Board.
In 2019, there were a total of two vacancies on the Board of Directors; both of them corresponded to Independent Directors.
Both vacancies arose at the General Meeting of May 31, 2019, due to the expiry of the term of office of both Independent Directors Mr. Ángel Durández Adeva and Mr. Luis Carlos Croissier Batista, who had held the position for 12 years. In relation to these two vacancies, the Nomination Committee carried out a preliminary analysis on the needs of the Repsol Group and the competencies and skills that would be desirable to include or strengthen on the Board of Directors. In order to facilitate and prepare the proposals it had to submit to the General Meeting in relation to the appointment of Independent Directors and to have a variety of candidates that would enable their selection by the Committee, the Nomination Committee agreed to hire an external advisor specializing in the selection of candidates.
After analyzing the various profiles submitted, confirming their availability and compatibility of the
position with their other professional obligations and assessing their suitability to become Directors of Repsol based on the needs of the Group and the challenges faced by the Company, the Nomination Committee agreed to propose to the Board of Directors –to subsequently be submitted at the General Shareholders Meeting–, the appointment of Carmina Ganyet i Cirera and Ignacio Martín San Vicente as Independent Directors of the Company. These appointments were approved at the General Shareholders Meeting held on May 11, 2018.
After analyzing the various profiles presented, confirming their availability and compatibility of the position with their other professional obligations and assessing their suitability to become Directors of Repsol based on needs of the Group and the challenges faced by the Company, the Nomination Committee agreed to propose to the Board of Directors –to subsequently be submitted at the General Shareholders Meeting–, the appointment of Ms. Arantza Estefanía Larrañaga and Ms. Teresa García‐Milá Lloveras as Independent Directors of the Company. The General Shareholders' Meeting approved their appointment on May 31, 2019.
By virtue of the above, the General Meeting held on 31 May approved the appointment of Ms. Arantza Estefanía Larrañaga and Ms. Teresa García‐Milá Lloveras as Independent Directors. These two appointments contributed to promote gender diversity in the composition of the Board and to reach the objective contained in the Repsol Directors Selection Policy for 2020, a year before the established objective.

Director selection process
The director selection process is governed by the Director Selection Policy approved by the Board on December 16, 201517.
Selection and appointment process
1. Assessment and selection of candidates
The Nomination Committee is the body in charge of assessing the knowledge, expertise and experience required on the Board, determining the duties and skills required of the candidates who are to fill each vacancy and assessing the time and dedication necessary for them to perform their duties adequately.
2. Appointment of Directors
Board members are appointed by the General Meeting, without prejudice to the right of the Board to nominate shareholders by co‐optation to fill any vacancies that arise, up to the next General Meeting.
The proposals for the appointment, ratification or re‐election of Directors that are submitted at the General Meeting, as well as appointments by the co‐optation, will be approved by the Board: (i) upon proposal by the Nomination Committee in the case of Independent Directors, or (ii) subject to a report by the Nomination Committee in the case of other Directors.
Within its powers to submit proposals at the General Meeting or appointment by co‐optation, the Board may not propose as candidates or appoint as Directors any persons affected by any of the incompatibilities or prohibitions established by law, the Company Bylaws or regulations or any persons, companies or entities with a permanent conflict of interests with the Company, including its competitors or their directors, executives or employees, or any persons related to or proposed by them.
In order to be considered for appointment, candidates must have recognized prestige and sufficient professional experience and expertise to perform their duties, in addition to meeting the requirements stipulated for the position by law and the Company Bylaws.
Furthermore, those persons indicated in Article 13.2 of the Board of Directors Regulations may not be nominated or appointed as Independent Directors. A Director who holds a stake in the Company may be appointed as an Independent Director, provided they meet all the conditions established in the Board of Directors Regulations and inapplicable legislation, and they do not hold a significant interest.
For the purpose of assessing the independence of the Directors, the Appointments Committee takes into account the provisions of the Corporate Enterprises Act, the Good Governance Code for Listed Companies, internal regulations (Director Selection Policy and Article 13.2 of the Board of Directors Regulations), and the policies of the most significant shareholders and proxy advisors, and verifies that Independent Directors do not have any significant direct or indirect relationship with Repsol that could interfere with the independent performance of their duties and carries out the necessary materiality tests.
The Company Bylaws and the Board Regulations do not establish any age limit for Directors or set any additional limit regarding the term of office for Independent Directors other than that stipulated in applicable legislation. Likewise, no specific requirements are established to be elected as Chairman of the Board in addition to those established for the selection of Directors.
The proposals and reports on the appointment of Directors that were submitted for approval at the 2019 Annual General Meeting are available for consultation on the corporate website through the following link: https://www.repsol.com/imagenes/global/es/propuestas‐de‐ acuerdos‐JGA‐2019_tcm13‐150986.pdf
It should also be noted that in 2019 no Proprietary Directors were appointed at the request of shareholders with a stake of less than 3% in the share capital, and there were no formal requests for a place on the Board from shareholders whose stake is equal to or greater than that of others that had been appointed Proprietary Directors.

3. Re-election of Directors
Directors will hold office for a maximum of four years, after which they will be eligible for re‐election for one or several periods of equal duration. Directors appointed by co‐optation will hold office until the next General Meeting following their appointment, at which their appointment will be subject to ratification.
The Nomination Committee is responsible for assessing the quality of their work and dedication of the Directors proposed during their previous term in office.
4. Cessation
Directors will stand down from office upon expiry of the term for which they were appointed and in all the other cases where this is required by law, the Company Bylaws and the Board of Directors Regulations.
The Board of Directors will not propose the removal of any Independent Non‐Executive Director before the end of the period for which they were appointed, except where just cause is found by the Board, based on a proposal from the Nomination Committee. In particular, such a proposal will be justified if the Director (i) has failed to discharge the duties inherent to their position; (ii) is in any of the situations described in Article 16.2 of the Board of Directors Regulations, which is reproduced in subsection "Resignation of Directors" below; or (iii) falls into any of the circumstances of incompatibility to be considered an Independent Non‐Executive Director.
The removal of an Independent Non‐Executive Director may also be proposed as a result of takeover bids, mergers or other similar corporate transactions which involve a change in the Company's capital structure, to the extent that such removal is necessary in order to establish a reasonable equilibrium between Proprietary Non‐Executive Directors and Independent Non‐Executive Directors based on the ratio of capital represented by the former to the rest of the capital.
Directors who give up their place before their tenure expires, through resignation or otherwise, should state their reasons in a letter to be sent to all other members of the Board of Directors.
Resignation of Directors
Directors must tender their resignation to the Board of Directors and, if the Board considers it appropriate, resign in the following cases:
- a) When they are involved in any of the situations of incompatibility or prohibition established by law, the Company Bylaws or applicable regulations.
- b) When they have been seriously reprimanded by the Nomination Committee or by the Audit and Control Committee for having breached their duties as Directors.
- c) When, in the opinion of the Board, based on a report by the Nomination Committee:
- i. Their remaining on the Board could jeopardize the interests of the Company or adversely affect the functioning of the Board or the standing and reputation of the Company; or
- ii. When the reasons for their appointment no longer exist. Directors will find themselves in this position, particularly in the following cases:
- o Proprietary Non‐Executive Directors, when the shareholder they represent or who proposed their appointment transfers its entire shareholding. They will also offer their resignation and, should the Board deem fit, step down from the Board, in the corresponding proportion, if the shareholder reduces its shareholding interest to a level requiring a reduction in the number of its Proprietary Non‐ Executive Directors.
- o Executive Directors, when they cease to hold the executive positions outside the Board with which their appointment as Director is associated.

Article 19 of the Board of Directors Regulations provides that Directors will notify the Board as soon as possible and keep it up to date on any situations in which they may be involved and that could harm the Company's name or reputation, to enable the Board to assess the circumstances, particularly in this regard.

Articles 18 to 23 of the Board of Directors Regulations set out the obligations to be met by Directors in accordance with their duties of diligence and loyalty with regard to non‐competition, use of information on corporate assets and taking advantage of business opportunities, and the requirements established in respect of related party transactions between the Company and the Directors, significant shareholders represented on the Board or persons related to them.

- The favorable vote of two‐thirds of the members not involved in a conflict of interest is required to authorize the Directors to provide advisory or representation services to the Company's competitors, subject to a favorable report by the Nomination Committee.

19 The amount indicated under this heading does not include the amounts corresponding to the compensation received by the Director‐Secretary‐General due to the termination of his contract and of his executive functions and non‐competition agreement, which amounted to 11.3 million.
20 It does not include the amount of 2.9 million euros accumulated in the "Permanence Award" Investment Fund on behalf of the Director‐Secretary General,
as this was settled on 31 December 2019. 21 The amount indicated under this heading includes the remuneration of the Director of Audit, Control and Risk because, for the purposes of this report, "senior management" means those executives who report directly to the Board or the chief executive of the company and, in any case, the internal auditor.

Termination benefits, guarantee or golden parachute clauses agreed between the Company and its directors, executives or employees
The Company has established a single legal statute for executive personnel, comprised of seven Managing Directors (excluding Executive Directors) and another 244 Directors (the "Directors").
This legal statute is specified in the Executive Contract, approved by the Board of Directors, which governs the indemnity terms applicable in cases where the employment relationship is terminated and which considers grounds for termination to be those envisaged in current legislation. In the case of Managing Directors, these grounds for termination include the resignation of the executive as a result of a takeover of the company or a major change in its ownership, leading to a renewal of its governance bodies or the content of and approach to its main business activity.
The amount of severance pay for the Managing Directors and the rest of the executives appointed before December 2012 is calculated according to the age, seniority and salary of each executive. In the case of executives appointed after that date, the amount is calculated based on their salary and years of service, within a range between 12 and 24 months, or the amount stipulated by law if higher.
For Chief Executive Officers contracted after 2012, compensation of one year's total remuneration (six months in the case of one of them) included within the 24 monthly payments of their compensation is established for the post‐contractual non‐compete commitment. For the other executives, one year of remuneration, total or fixed, is established in accordance with the duration of the contract, in addition to their compensation. The contracts of executives of some countries do not envisage the post‐contractual non‐compete commitment or do not establish any compensation for it.
For the CEO, on the other hand, deferred financial compensation equivalent to two years' fixed and variable annual remuneration — including the non‐ compete remuneration — is established, which will apply in case of termination of the contract due to causes attributable to Repsol or by mutual agreement, if it takes place in the Company's interest.
With respect to Mr. Suárez de Lezo, on 18 December 2019, the Board of Directors resolved the termination, by mutual agreement and at the initiative and in the Company's interest, of his executive functions as General Secretary, effective from 31 December 2019, as well as the payment of his deferred financial compensation and of the financial compensation for the non‐compete agreement as detailed in this section and in the Annual Directors' Remuneration Report.

6. Related party and intra-group transactions
Mechanisms to detect, determine and resolve conflicts of interest
The Regulations of the Board of Directors require the Directors to adopt the necessary measures to avoid incurring in situations in which their interests, whether on their own behalf or on behalf of others, may conflict with the corporate interest and with their duties towards the Company. to the Board of Directors, through its Chairman or Secretary, any situation of conflict, direct or indirect, that they or persons linked to them may have with the interest of the Company and, in the event of such conflict, refrain from participating in the deliberation and voting of the corresponding agreements.
Directors must inform the Nomination Committee of any other professional obligations and remunerated activities of any kind, as well as any material change in their professional situation or any changes that affect the nature or condition by virtue of which they have been appointed Director.
Finally, Directors must tender their resignation and step down from the Board, should the latter deem fit, whenever they incur in any of the events of incompatibility or disqualification established by law, the Bylaws or regulations.
Lastly, the Repsol Group's Ethics and Conduct Code, which applies to the Board members and all Repsol employees, also defines and regulates the action procedure in situations where a potential conflict of interest may arise.
Furthermore, the Internal Conduct Regulations of the Repsol Group on the Securities Market, with the same scope of application, contain the conflicts of interest prevention and resolution mechanisms.

Pursuant to Article 22 bis of the Company Bylaws and Article 23 of the Board of Directors Regulations, any transactions that the Company performs directly or indirectly with Directors, significant shareholders represented on the Board or persons related thereto (i) that are for a sum exceeding 5% of the Group's assets according to the latest consolidated financial statements approved by the General Meeting; (ii) that involve strategic assets; (iii) that involve the transfer of significant technology of the Company; or (iv) that are intended to establish strategic alliances and are not mere agreements of action or execution of existing alliances, can only be performed if they meet the following conditions:
- a) the transaction is fair and efficient from the standpoint of the Company's interests;
- b) after obtaining the corresponding report from an independent expert of renowned prestige in the financial community indicating that the related party transaction will be made on reasonable, arm's length terms, the Nomination Committee issues a report assessing fulfillment of the requirement indicated in (a) above; and
- c) the General Meeting authorizes the related party transactions with a vote in favor of 75% of the share capital attending in person and by proxy. However, if it is considered unadvisable to wait for the next General Meeting to obtain authorization, for reasons of opportunity, and provided the value of the transaction does not exceed 10% of assets, the transaction may be approved by the Board of Directors, provided (i) the report from the Nomination Committee indicated in (b) above is favorable for the transaction, and (ii) the resolution is passed with the favorable vote of at least two‐thirds of the Board members not affected by a conflict of interest. In this case, the Board will inform

shareholders at the next General Meeting of the terms and conditions of the transaction.
When calling the General Meeting to discuss or be informed on the authorization of the related party transaction, the Board of Directors will make available to shareholders the reports issued by the Nomination Committee and the independent expert contemplated in (b) above and, should it so deem fit, its own report on the matter.
Other related party transactions must be authorized by the Board of Directors after obtaining a report from the Nomination Committee. On an exceptional basis, and for reasons of urgency, related party transactions that would normally require approval by the Board may be authorized by the Delegate Committee, subject to subsequent ratification by the Board in plenary session.
This authorization is not needed for related party transactions that meet all three of the following conditions:
- a) they are performed under contracts with standard terms and conditions which are applied across the board to a large number of clients;
- b) they are performed at prices or rates generally established by the person acting as supplier of the good or provider of the service in question or, if refers to goods or services for which there are no prices
established, on arm's length terms, similar to those applied in commercial relations with clients of a similar nature; and
c) the amount of the transaction does not exceed 1% of the Company's annual income.
Related party transactions are assessed from the point of view of equal treatment and arm's length terms and are described in the Annual Corporate Governance Report and the regular public information on the terms set out in the applicable laws and regulations.

7. Financial reporting and audits
7.1. REQUIRED FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Company's separate and consolidated financial statements that were submitted to the Board of Directors for authorization for issue are first certified by the Chief Executive Officer, Josu Jon Imaz San Miguel, and by the CFO, Antonio Lorenzo Sierra.
The Board of Directors has established mechanisms to prevent the separate and consolidated financial statements prepared from being submitted to the General Meeting with a qualified auditor's report.
To that effect and as mentioned in section B.4.2. the Audit and Control Committee regularly reviewthe preparation of economic and financial reporting, its internal controls and the independence of the external auditor, supervision of Internal Audit, and the compliance with all the legal provisions and internal regulations applicable to the Company.
For that, the Committee regularly receives information from the External Auditor on the audit plan and results of their work, and checks that executive personnel are acting on its recommendations. At least once a year, the External Auditor is also required to assess the quality of the Group's internal control systems regarding financial information. The Committee is also responsible for being informed of any situations requiring adjustments that may be detected over the course of the external auditor's work whenever they are significant, and consideration as such will be left to the discretion of the External Auditor, who, if there is any doubt, must opt to report the issue and notify the Chairman of the Committee as soon as it becomes aware of the situation in question. The Committee must also be informed of the degree of fulfillment by the audit units of the corrective measures recommended by Internal Audit and will be informed of any significant irregularities, anomalies or breaches, provided they are considered significant, detected by Internal Audit in the course of its work.
For such purpose, the members of the Audit and Control Committee have the dedication, skills and experience necessary to carry out their duties; and the Committee's Chairman must have experience in business and risk management and expertise in accounting procedures Additionally, at least, one of its members must have the financial experience that may be required by the bodies regulating the securities markets on which the Company's shares or securities are listed.
7.2. AUDITS
External auditor
In 2018 the Company appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers, S.L. as its external auditor for 2018, 2019 and 2020, being year 2019 the second year that this firm audits the Company.
Mechanisms to preserve independence of the Externa Auditor
One of the duties of the Audit and Control Committee consists of ensuring the independence of the External Auditors, in two ways:
- a) Avoiding any factors that may compromise the warnings, opinions and recommendations of the Auditors, and
- b) Overseeing any incompatibilities between auditing services and any others, the limits on concentration of the Auditor's business and, in general, all other rules established to guarantee the Auditor's independence.
The Audit and Control Committee has established a procedure for preliminary approval of all services, auditing or otherwise, provided by the External Auditor, whatever their extent, scope and nature. This procedure is regulated in an Internal Rule that is mandatory for the entire Repsol Group.

Likewise, the Committee must receive annual written confirmation from the External Auditor of its independence towards the Company or entities directly or indirectly related thereto, as well as information on additional services of any kind provided to these entities by the Auditors or by individuals or entities related to them and the fees charged, in accordance with the regulations governing the activity of auditors.
The Committee will issue, prior to the delivery of the auditor's report, an annual report expressing an opinion on the independence of the External Auditor. This report must contain a reasoned assessment of any non‐auditing services rendered, considered both individually and as a whole, in relation to the rules governing independence or the regulations of the auditing profession.
On the other hand, part of the meetings with the auditor takes place without the presence of the entity's management, so that the specific issues arising from the reviews carried out can be discussed exclusively with them.

Elements of the process of preparing financial information
Departments and/or mechanisms responsible for designing and reviewing the organizational structure and defining the lines of responsibility
The internal regulations assign to the People and Organization Executive Department the duties and responsibilities associated with the study, design, approval and implementation of organizational structures and sizing in the company.
In accordance with these regulations, the organizational structure establishes the hierarchical and functional level for the normal development of the Group's various areas of activity and determines the levels of responsibility, decision and functions of each of the organizational units.
The organizational structure is represented by means of an organization chart and the sizing's define. Approval of a structure requires two approving roles, the line approver and the People and Organization Executive Department, according to the levels established in the regulations.
The organizational principle that governs structure approval is based on the premise that a structure cannot be approved by the person who is directly responsible for it, but rather by their hierarchical superior.
There is also an organizational unit responsible for inputting the approved organizational changes in the computer system, according to the implementation plan defined which makes it possible to ensure compliance with the requirements established as regards internal control.
Ethics and Conduct Code and body responsible for ensuring the monitoring and compliance
Repsol has an Ethics and Conduct Code, approved by the Board of Directors, based on the favorable report of the Audit and Control Committee, the Sustainability Committee and the Ethics and Compliance Committee, which applies to all directors, executives and employees of the Repsol Group. The Code establishes the minimum conduct guidelines that should govern the behavior of all employees when performing their professional duties and the penalty regime applicable in the event of failure to comply with those rules.
The Code contemplates, among others aspects, the basic principles of performance in relation to integrity and conduct, reliability of information and control of records, as well as the processing of sensitive information and intellectual property. It also specifies obligations in relation to human rights, community relations, measures against bribery, corruption, and money laundering and the commitment to carry out activities in accordance with prevailing legislation in all the areas of performance and countries.
The people who join the Company have a Welcome Plan with the aim of achieving their quick adaptation to the team. This Plan includes information on the essential regulations that that every employee should know and respect when they join, regardless of the area or business they will be working in, including a

direct channel for employee consultations. The framework of this regulation is the Ethics and Conduct Code.
Additionally, communication actions and training courses on the "Code of Ethics and Conduct" are performed to strengthen their knowledge and for their adequate fulfilment. This year, Repsol wanted to go a step further and it has developed a new training action in relation to the Code of Ethics and Conduct for its employees in an innovative and dynamic "web series" format, placing special emphasis on anti‐corruption matters and issues related to personal data protection. It should also be highlighted that Repsol has approved new basic regulations developing the content of the Code in relevant aspects this year, such as the management of gifts and entertainment, conflicts of interest and due diligence with third parties.
In addition, employees are involved in communication campaigns and attend training courses on the Ethics and Conduct Code, to strengthen their knowledge and compliance with its contents. In 2019, Repsol has taken a further step forward and developed a new training programme for all employees on the Code of Ethics and Conduct, in an innovative and dynamic web site format, with special emphasis on anti‐ corruption and personal data protection issues. It should also be noted that this year Repsol has approved new basic regulations that develop the content of the Code in relevant aspects, such as the management of gifts and hospitality, conflicts of interest and due diligence with third parties. Furthermore, Company executives agree to comply with the Executive Personnel Statute attached to their employment contracts. This Statute refers to the principles on which their professional actions must be based, as well the Company's principles of conduct and standards, with special emphasis on the Ethics and Conduct Code.
There is a communications channel, the "Repsol Ethics and Compliance Channel", that allows Company employees and any third party to make consultations or to communicate, among others, possible breaches of the Ethics and Conduct Code and Crime Prevention Model, confidentially and without fear of reprisal. The channel is managed by an independent company and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by phone and online.
The Ethics and Compliance Committee oversees and monitors compliance with the Code and is responsible for resolving on the communications considered relevant that are received through the channel.

Eleven policies compose Repsol's regulatory corpus within the framework of its Ethics and Conduct Code. These policies define its public commitment and management fundamentals, establishing principles and guidelines for all Repsol employees for the purpose of fostering relationships, processes and decision‐making that align with the Company's values.
These policies include the "Anti‐corruption Policy" reiterating Repsol's commitment to strict compliance with legislation on the prevention and fight against corruption, rejecting any form of corruption and extending its compliance not only to all employees of the companies in which the Repsol Group exercises direct or indirect management control, but also to our Business Partners.
Likewise, in its "Third‐Party Commercial Relationships Policy", Repsol agrees to ensure that its commercial and business relationships with partners, suppliers, contractors and customers are legal and based on Repsol's ethical principles and values.
Furthermore, Repsol also has a mandatory "Tax Policy" for all of its employees and Group

companies that includes various commitments aimed at ensuring that tax matters are managed according to best tax practices and acting with transparency, including responsible and efficient payment of taxes, the fostering of cooperative relationships with governments and the firm intention to strive to avoid significant risks and unnecessary conflicts.

The Company has formally established mechanisms in those regulations to promote its communication and compliance with its provisions. For these purposes, and pursuant to these Regulations, the Audit and Control Committee is responsible for supervising and the obligations established therein, whereby any failure to comply with its provisions will be considered an act of professional misconduct, the seriousness of which will be determined in the proceedings that follow in accordance with current legislation, without prejudice to any infringement that may arise as a result of contravening any securities market regulations or to any third‐party or criminal liability to which the infringing party may be subject.
Finally, in the field of Spanish companies and under the framework of Spanish regulations on the criminal liability of legal entities, the Ethics and Compliance Committee has been appointed as the Crime Prevention Body. Likewise, there is a rule for "Management of the Crime Prevention Model" and another for "Internal Investigations of the Ethics and Compliance Committee", which structures the prevention model and the mechanism to respond to data on or indications of potential crimes committed with regard to the Repsol Crime Prevention Model or suspected breaches of this Model. In addition, Repsol has a Crime Prevention Manual designed to improve the understanding of criminal risks and the actions and conduct expected of employees, which has been updated this year in line with the recent Crime reform, and with a recurrent dissemination plan. This plan included carrying out new classroom‐based training sessions in 2019 for Repsol's new Industrial Complex managers and directors, as well as an online course for those responsible for managing the controls of the Model. Moreover, Repsol has a Criminal Prevention Manual designed to improve the understanding of the criminal risks and the actions and conduct expected of the employees, which has been updated this year in accordance with the recent criminal reform, and with a recurrent disclosure plan.

Ethics and Compliance Channel
In accordance with the Board of Directors Regulations, the Audit and Control Committee is responsible for establishing a mechanism that allows employees to report confidentially and, if possible, anonymously, irregularities of potential significance, especially of a financial and accounting nature.
In this sense, the Company has an "Ethics and Compliance Channel" through which Company employees and any third party may communicate confidentially and, if possible according to the different jurisdictions, anonymously, any issue related to compliance with the Code of Ethics and Conduct as well as any matters related to accounting, internal control and audit. The channel is managed by an independent company and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by phone and online.

Training programs and regular refresher courses
Training in Repsol is geared towards developing the professional capacities required for effective performance of the employees' work, supplemented with further training to support and foster progression in their careers. It is based on initiatives intended to structure knowledge, develop skills and foster employees' commitment to the Company's plans, culture and values throughout their careers.
To achieve this, the Company has a broad selection of training activities covering issues ranging from technical aspects, organized specifically for given groups, to other more general aspects, such as management, safety awareness.
Through collaboration between the Repsol Training Center and each of the units of the Group, Repsol ensures the acquisition and updating of essential knowledge to perform the economic administrative, risks management and internal audit and control duties. The training needs are planned to meet both short and medium‐term requirements and the corresponding annual plan is drawn up, identifying and paying attention not only to the form of training best suited to each group but also time enabling the Company to monitor the stated objectives and the quality of training given to each employee. As part of this plan, there are actions designed to distribute the internal control models, in particular the System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR), to the different people and areas affected by these models.
These needs are met by both internal resources, with training activities designed and given by its own personnel with experience and references in their respective fields, and by reputed firms contracted for their quality and specialization. Other resources are also used, such as conferences, talks, discussion forums, workshops and virtual libraries.
Risk assessment in financial reporting
Features of the risk identification process, including risks of error or fraud
Risk identification process
The Repsol Group has an integrated risk management process as indicated in section 8.1 of this Report. This process establishes a homogenous methodology of risk identification and assessment by all responsible divisions in the organization. As a result of the described process, the Repsol Group Risk Map was created, which includes financial reporting risks.
The identification of the principal risks that could affect the financial reporting objectives related to existence or occurrence, integrity, valuation and assignment, presentation and disclosure of operations, rights and obligations and which could therefore have a material impact on the reliability of the Group financial reporting leads to the development of a Risk Map of Financial Reporting, in which the various risks are grouped into the following categories:
- Definition of the general control environment
- Regulatory changes
- Valuations subject to analysis and complex estimates
- Capture, analysis, evaluation and recording of business transactions
- Preparation of consolidated financial statements
- Economic and financial information requirements

The risk of fraud in financial reporting, which is part of the inventory of financial reporting risks in the category of "General Control Environment" is analyzed precisely because of its relevance to the design, implementation and evaluation of the internal control model. This analysis is made taking account mainly of the references to consideration of fraud in risk assessment established within COSO 2013 ("Assesses Fraud Risk" Principle 8) and by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) in its document "Consideration of Fraud in a Financial Statement Audit", Section 316 (Standard Auditing Statement 99). As a result of this analysis, the following categories of causal factors for financial reporting fraud risk have been defined:
- Inadequate control environment.
- Intentional error on the financial statements
- Asset misappropriation.
Scope and updates
The process of identifying and evaluating financial reporting risks covers all financial reporting objectives related to existence or occurrence, integrity, valuation and assignment, presentation and disclosure of operations, and rights and obligations, that may have a significant impact on the reliability of the financial reporting.
Each of the aforementioned risk categories consists, in turn, of one or more specific risks, which are linked to the corresponding headings of the financial statements, the respective processes and to the different companies of the Group.
Lastly, the potential impact of each of the financial reporting risks is assessed, as well as the probability of their occurrence. From these two factors, the severity of each of the risks is established.
The risk inventory and the assessment of these risks in terms of impact and probability is reviewed on an annual basis in accordance with the Repsol Group's integrated risk management process, as indicated in Annex II regarding risks of the 2019 Consolidated Integrated Report.
Process for identifying the scope of consolidation
There is a process in place for identifying changes in shareholding structure of Group companies. Once the changes are reported, the control structure is analyzed on the basis of the applicable accounting standards and principles in order to determine which consolidation method should be used for that company.
From the scope of consolidation and in coordination with the process of identification and regular updating of the inventory of financial reporting risks, a ICFR Scope Model is determined, along with the and companies that should be included in the scope on account of their relevance and materiality. This identification is made on the basis of both quantitative and qualitative criteria.
The determination of companies that are part of the model takes into account those in which control is exercised directly or indirectly. For these purposes, an investor is deemed to control an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement in the Group and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Therefore, companies in which there is joint control are not included in the model, since the strategic decisions require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. However, controls are established in the model to ensure the homogeneity, validity and reliability of the financial information validated by them for incorporation into the consolidated financial statements.
Other types of risks
In the process of identifying and evaluating financial reporting risk, the Repsol Group considers other types of risk that could have a relevant impact on the attainment of the organization's operational and

strategic goals, such as compliance, insofar as these may have a significant effect on the preparation of financial statements.
Body in charge of supervising the process
The Board of Directors reserves the power to approve the risk management and control policies, including financial reporting and tax risks, and to supervise internal information and control systems.
In accordance with the Board of Directors Regulations of Repsol, the Audit and Control Committee periodically reviews the efficiency of internal control, internal audit and risk management systems, including tax risks, so as to identify, manage and properly communicate the main risks.
The Executive Committee approves the governance elements required within the area of risk management, oversees their correct application and monitors the Company's performance in respect of risks.
The Internal Audit Unit is responsible for evaluating the design and operation of the Group's risk management systems.
Control activities
Procedures for reviewing and authorizing the financial information and description of the ICFR system
The Repsol Group has a system of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR) that allows it to meet the requirements established by the applicable regulations for listed companies.
The ICFR model is defined from the COSO (2013) methodological framework (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) contained in its report, Internal Control‐ Integrated Framework, for the purpose of ensuring that all transactions are properly accounted for in accordance with the accounting framework, providing reasonable assurance of the prevention or detection of errors that could have a material impact on the information in the consolidated financial statements. This financial reporting internal control model is organized around an integrated process that includes the five components developed in seventeen principles, as established in the COSO 2013 framework.
-
- The existence of an adequate control environment.
-
- The identification, analysis and assessment of risks
-
- The definition and implementation of control activities to mitigate the identified risks.
-
- Reporting and communication to facilitate understanding and the assumption of risk control responsibilities.
-
- Supervision of system operations in order to evaluate their design, performance quality, adaptation, implementation and effectiveness.
The ICFR system is integrated in the organization through the establishment of structure of roles and responsibilities for the different bodies and functions, which are described in procedures that have been duly approved and distributed within the Group. In addition to what's indicated above regarding the processes for checking and authorization of financial reporting by the Board of Directors and the Audit and Control Committee, below are detailed the other governance bodies and organizational units of the Group assigned relevant roles on this matter:
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
All owners of the controls comprising the ICFR system, in relation to compliance with the requirements established in terms of internal control, certify that all controls associated with processes and risks, of which they are owners, are in force at the closing of the fiscal year and operate properly on that date. This is an annual certification process that concludes with a certificate issued by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Internal Transparency Committee:
The purpose of the Internal Transparency Committee is to promote and strengthen the policies necessary to ensure that the information provided to shareholders, the markets and regulatory authorities is true and complete, adequately reflects the Company's financial position and the results of its operations and is presented in a timely manner and in accordance with the other requirements established in the standards and general principles for markets and good governance applied by the Company. This Committee provides support and assistance to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer.

Business Units and Corporate Areas identified as "owners of the controls":
Within the Group, the different Business Units and Corporate Areas identified as "owners of the controls" are those responsible for ensuring the validity, execution and adequate functioning of the controls associated therewith. Of these, the Units with an especially important role in the development, maintenance and functioning of the ICFR system are:
- The Unit that prepares the financial statements and economic‐financial reporting, the inventory of controls and processes of the ICFR system required to guarantee the reliability of the financial information, without prejudice to those that may be added or rectified by the Audit, Control and Risks Division, as a result of its process of defining and assessing the Group ICFR system.
- The Unit that guarantees fulfillment of tax obligations, tax counseling, monitoring, evaluation and implementation of changes in law and regulations, identification, control, monitoring, assessment and management of tax risks, and tax information for the financial statements. Moreover, according to the Code of Best Tax Practices (Repsol signed the Code of Best Tax Practices on 23 September 2010), Law 31/2014, which amended the Corporate Enterprises Act for enhanced corporate governance, and the Repsol's Group Tax Policy, the Board of Directors, as part of its powers that may not be delegated regarding tax matters, verifies that the Company's tax policies are being properly applied on a yearly basis.

- The Unit that ensures that the estimates of the Group's proven reserves of hydrocarbons conform to the regulations issued by the different securities markets on which the Company's shares are listed, makes the internal audits of reserves, coordinates the certificates of the external auditors of reserves and assesses the quality controls regarding information on reserves.
-
The Units responsible for legal and tax affairs in the Group, which provide legal counseling, legal defense and handling of its legal affairs in all contentious proceedings and processes, providing legal support for the Group's actions, rights and expectations with a view to giving them legal security and efficacy and minimizing possible legal risks.
-
The Units that define the guidelines, criteria and indicators of management control monitors the business activities and the approved investments and oversees compliance with the commitments assumed, proposing corrective measures as needed.
- Processes, activities and controls
The ICFR system documents basically comprise the following:
- Financial reporting risk map
- Scope model
- Documentation for processes through the ICFR system
- Inventory of controls identified in the different processes
- Outcome of assessing the design and functioning of the controls
- Certificates of validity and effectiveness of the controls issued for each financial year
The ICFR model is supported by a set of standards and procedures and is described in the Internal Control over Financial Reporting Manual.
The system of internal control over financial reporting is articulated through a process which, based on the identification and evaluation of financial reporting risks, defines a scope model that includes the most important headings in the financial statements, the companies affected, the relevant processes involved in preparing, reviewing and subsequently distributing the financial information and the control activities intended to prevent and detect potential errors, including fraud.
In order to define the companies involved, the first step is to update the list of consolidated companies. The ICFR includes operating controls for those companies that are directly or indirectly controlled by Repsol. For all other relevant non controlled companies not included in the scope of consolidation, it also includes controls designed to protect the homogeneity, validity and reliability of the financial information submitted by the companies for inclusion in the consolidated financial statements.
For each one of the relevant processes and companies included on the consolidation list, the significant financial reporting risks are identified along with the control activities to mitigate those risks.
The following controls are distinguished in the ICFR system:

- Manuals: those carried out by human actions, using computerized tools or applications.
- Automatic: those carried out with computerized tools or applications.
- General computer controls: those that reasonably guarantee the reliability, integrity, availability and confidentiality of the information contained in applications relevant to the financial reporting.
As well, these three types of controls are characterized as:
- Preventive: created to prevent errors or cases of fraud that could result in an error in the Repsol Group's financial reporting.
- Detective: their goal is to detect existing errors or cases of fraud that could result in an error in the Repsol Group's financial reporting.
Relevant judgements, estimates, valuations and forecasts
The financial reporting process sometimes requires making judgements and estimations e, which may affect the amount of assets and liabilities recognized the presentation of contingent assets and liabilities and the recognized income and expenses. These estimates may be affected, among other causes, by changes in competitive, economic, political, legal, regulatory, social, industrial, business and financial conditions.
In this regard, the Group identifies responsible areas and establishes uniform criteria for judgments, estimates and valuations in the processes considered relevant for the preparation of financial information. Specifically, and in accordance with that set forth in Note 3 "Estimates and judgements" of the Repsol Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for 2019, they include those relating to reserves of crude oil and gas, business combinations, assessment of the investments in Venezuela, provisions for litigation, decommissioning and other contingencies, calculation of income tax and deferred tax assets and liabilities, impairment tests and the recoverable value of assets, and the market value of financial instruments. The results of these estimates are reported to the management and governance bodies of the Group.
In addition, the aforementioned bodies are regularly informed of any business affecting its business development and which could have a material effect on the Group's financial statements. It also periodically monitors the main variables which have or may have an impact, directly or through estimates and judgements, in quantifying assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Group.
Internal control policies, regulations and procedures for financial information systems that support the relevant processes for the preparation and publication of the financial information.
The Repsol Group has a specific body of regulations in its IT Systems area based on ISO 27001, laying down the general principles for the different processes in that area.
Considering that the Group's transaction flows are mainly made through IT Systems, an Information Systems Control Framework, consisting of a set of controls called "general computer controls", has been established which reasonably guarantee the trustworthiness, integrity, availability and confidentiality of the information contained and processed in the relevant applications for financial reporting.
The systems linked to the process of preparing financial information conform to the security standards established in the regulations and are audited to ensure proper functioning of the Information Systems Control Framework by validating its constituent general computer controls.

These general computer controls grouped into the areas of: access security, life cycle systems, and process of assuring the validity of data and assurance operations, help to guarantee that several control targets are obtained within the ICFR system assessment, since they have the following features:
- Contribute towards ensuring the precision, accuracy and validity of the transactions executed in the applications, since they are integrated in the logics of those applications in order to prevent and/or detect unauthorized transactions.
- They are applied to the interfaces with other systems, in order to check that information input is complete and precise, and that output is correct.
The scope of the general computer controls covers applications relevant for financial reporting and infrastructure elements that serve these applications (e.g. technical platforms, servers, databases, data processing centers, etc.).
The Repsol Group has developed a segregation of duties model in the systems for preventing and reducing the risk of errors (intentional or otherwise), especially the fraud factor in the financial reporting process. Incompatibility matrices have been installed in the applications used by the relevant processes covered by the ICFR system, with which it is possible to monitor conflicts continuously and detect cases in which the functions are not exercised according to defined profiles. Once the conflicts have been identified, remediation plans are defined for them, aimed in some cases at adapting the security profiles and roles that cause these conflicts and in other cases at identifying and implementing mitigating controls that guarantee adequate coverage of the risks associated with these conflicts. Once the conflicts have been identified, remediation plans are defined, aiming, in some cases, to align the security profiles and roles that cause these conflicts and, in others, to identify and implement mitigating controls guaranteeing the adequate coverage of the risks associated with those conflicts.
Internal control policies and procedures for supervising management of the activities subcontracted to third parties and any aspects of assessment, calculation or valuation outsourced to independent experts, which may affect materially to the financial statements
The Repsol Group has a procedure for identifying, establishing control criteria and supervising the activities of third party subcontractors in different business processes. According to this procedure, the group analyzes the types of activities carried out by these suppliers and their impact and draws conclusions as to whether the activities have a material impact on the financial statements from the following perspectives:

- Significant transactions for the Group's financial statements.
- Manual or automated procedures for initiating, recording, processing or reporting significant transactions from the beginning until they are included in the financial statements.
- Manual or automatic accounting records that support the collection, recognition, processing and reporting of specific transactions, information or accounts on the Group's financial statements.
- Relevant information systems for capturing significant events and conditions for inclusion in the operating results and preparation of the financial statements.
- Financial reporting process used to prepare the financial statements, including the accounting estimates and the disclosure of significant information.
Once the subcontracted activities that can have a material effect on the financial statements have been identified, the internal controls of the services rendered are supervised to ensure their adequacy. In this regard, in accordance with the COSO 2013 methodology and ISA 402 (International Standard on Auditing), the Repsol Group adapts based on the characteristics of the supplier or third party subcontracted, carrying out supervision tasks based on the following approaches:
Request independent auditors' reports from third party subcontractors to obtain relevant information on their internal control systems. Some examples of the reports include SOC (Service Organization Control) under Standard SSAE 16 of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) or standard ISAE 3402 (International Standards on Assurance Engagements 3402).
- Understanding on the part of the user of the service of the nature of the service and identification of mitigating controls within the financial reporting process of the Repsol Group.
- Conduct independent evaluations of the supplier's internal control systems.
Information and communication
Units responsible for the accounting policies
The Group has a Unit responsible for monitoring, analyzing and reviewing the accounting principles and policies established in the regulatory framework that applies to the preparation of financial statements, analyzing and answering consultations on their interpretation and adequate application. The organizational units involved in preparing financial information are periodically informed of any new aspects of accounting techniques and regulations and the outcome of the different analyzes made.
There are also accounting principles manuals, which establish the accounting standards, policies and principles applied by the Group. These manuals are revised and updated periodically and whenever there is a material change in the applicable regulations. The manuals are available on the internal communication network.
In 2019, the Group's accounting manuals were updated as a result mainly of changes in International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union and of mandatory application from 1 January 2019.
Mechanisms for collecting and preparing financial information

The Group has integrated IT systems for both recognizing transactions in the accounts and preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements. It also has processes for centralized coding and parameterization processes which, together with the accounting principles manuals, guarantee the integrity and homogeneity of the information. Finally, there are also tools used for processing the information in order to obtain and prepare the breakdowns provided in the notes to the financial statements. The systems linked to the preparation and reporting of financial information meet the security standards established by the general computer controls defined for IT systems. (See section 8.2. of this report regarding the internal policies and procedures over information systems).
Supervision of the functioning of the system
Role of the Audit Committee, internal audit function, scope of ICFR assessment and action plans
According to the Board of Directors Regulations, the Audit and Control Committee is responsible for supervising the assessment and presentation, as well as the integrity of the financial information on the Company and the Group, checking compliance with legal provisions, adequate definition of the consolidated group and correct application of the accounting principles, and regularly checking the effectiveness of the internal control, internal audit and risk management systems, including tax risks, ensuring that the principal risks, are identified, managed and reported adequately.
The Audit and Control Committee also analyzes and approves, where appropriate, the annual planning of the Internal Audit Department and other occasional or specific additional plans required as a result of changes in legislation or the needs of the business organization of the Group.
The annual planning of the Internal Audit Department is structured to assess and supervise the correct functioning and adequacy of the Group's internal control and risk management systems (operational, strategic, financial and compliance).
The Audit, Control and Risks Division reports to the Audit and Control Committee and performs its duties established in international standards in line with the best market practices, as well as the requirements of the different regulatory frameworks applicable in the countries in which the Repsol Group has businesses and activities. It has a "Quality Assurance and Enhancement Plan", assessed regularly, to assure quality in its duties, the results of which are reported to the Audit and Control Committee.
The Audit, Control and Risks Division is responsible for seeing that the design and functioning of the Internal Control and Risk Management Systems in the Group are reasonable and adequate, contributing towards their improvement and covering the following control objectives:
- Any risks that may affect the organization are adequately identified, measured, prioritized and controlled in accordance with that established in the Risks Policy signed by the Board of Directors.
- Transactions are efficient and effective.
- Transactions are made in compliance of applicable laws, regulations and contracts and prevailing policies, rules or procedures.
- The assets are adequately protected and reasonably controlled.
- The most significant financial, management and operating information is prepared and reported adequately.

The Audit, Control and Risks Division reports to the Audit and Control Committee on the conclusions of all work performed, as well as the corrective measures proposed and the degree of compliance with these measures. This Division provides support for any significant irregularities, anomalies or non‐compliance on the part of the audited units, reporting any cases that may entail a significant risk for the Group to the Board of Directors.
With regard to the System for Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR), the Audit, Control and Risks Division provides support in the ICFR supervisory tasks carried out by the Board of Directors, the Audit and Control Committee and the Internal Transparency Committee and notifies the owners of the controls of any weakness or incident detected in the process of updating and assessing the ICFR system.
After the reporting date, the Audit, Control and Risks Division informs the Internal Transparency Committee, the Audit and Control Committee and the Board of Directors on the outcome of the ICFR system assessment and any defects found during the assessment.
The Audit, Control and Risks Division has assessed the effectiveness of the ICFR system corresponding to 2019, and did not find any significant or material weaknesses , concluding that it is effective, in accordance with the criteria established by COSO 2013.
Procedure for discussion with Senior Management, the Audit Committee and the Company's directors regarding any significant internal control weaknesses identified during the review processes and action plans
As indicated in a section below of this Report, the Audit, Control and Risks Division reports to the Audit and Control Committee on the conclusions of all work performed, as well as the corrective measures proposed and the degree of compliance with these measures.
One of the duties of the Audit and Control Committee is to establish appropriate relations with the External Auditor to receive regular information on the audit plan and the results of its implementation, and on any other issues concerning the audit process and corresponding rules and regulations. It also verifies that the management team bears in mind the recommendations made by the External Auditor.
The Audit and Control Committee also requires the External Auditor periodically, at least once a year, to assess the quality of the internal control procedures and systems and discuss with it any significant weaknesses detected during audit, and requests the External Auditor's opinion on the effectiveness of the ICFR system. In this regard, the external auditor carried out its review of reasonable assurance on the design and effectiveness of the ICFR system for 2018 as well as the description of this system included in this Report.
External auditor's report
The Group submitted for review by the External Audit (PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores, S.L.) the design and effectiveness of the System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR), in relation to the financial information contained in the Repsol Group's consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2019, and the description thereof included in this Report.

In particular, independents and other directors not subject to potential conflicts of interest should strenuously challenge any decision that could harm the interests of shareholders lacking board representation.
When the board makes material or reiterated decisions about which a director has expressed serious reservations, then he or she must draw the pertinent conclusions. Directors resigning for such causes should set out their reasons in the letter referred to in the next recommendation.
The terms of this recommendation also apply to the secretary of the board, even if he or she is not a director.
