Borealis JVs Q4/25
Market environment
− Higher olefin indicator margins (ethylene +16%, propylene +21%)
− Stable PE indicator margin, lower PP indicator margin (PE -1%, PP -19%)
Operational effects & others
− Lower cracker utilization rate (-12 pp)
− Improved OMV base chemicals contribution driven by higher olefin indicator margins, partially offset by lower utilization rate and weaker benzene and butadiene margins
− Lower Borealis base chemicals contribution driven by decreased utilization rate, lower inventory effects, a lower light feedstock advantage and phenol margins
− Decreased polyolefins contribution impacted by lower margins, partially compensated for by lower fixed costs
− Following the reclassification of Borealis as "asset held for sale," depreciation for Borealis (EUR ~140 mn per quarter) is no longer recorded in the clean Operating Result
Borealis JVs
Based on externally published sensitivities for OMV base chemicals and Borealis excl. JVs; not adjusted to account for effect of intercompany profit elimination
Includes the contribution from OMV base chemicals, Borealis excl. JVs, the effect of intercompany profit elimination, and elimination of Borealis excl JVs depreciation
− Stable Borouge contribution; substantially higher sales volumes were offset by weaker market environment in Asia
− Positive impact from exclusion of negative contribution of Baystar in

Market environment
− Slightly higher olefin indicator margins (ethylene +3%, propylene +4%)
− Lower PE and PP indicator margins (PE -8%, PP -10%)
Operational performance
− Lower utilization rate at 72% (-12 pp) reflecting ongoing weak demand in a challenging environment and net working capital optimization at OMV and customers
− Slightly higher OMV base chemicals supported by higher indicator margins, partially offset by lower utilization
− Decreased Borealis base chemicals due lower utilization rate and light feedstock advantage, as well as negative inventory effects, partially offset by higher indicator margins
− Lower Borealis polyolefin contribution due to lower realized margins, seasonally higher fixed costs, partly compensated for by higher sales volumes
Based on externally published sensitivities for OMV base chemicals and Borealis excl. JVs; includes inventory effects
