Outlook
The outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the efforts to contain it affect the global economy and, as a result, have a negative impact on prices and demand for oil products and crude oil. Based on the knowledge OMV had until publication date, the COVID-19 impact is included in the outlook.
Market environment
-
For the year 2020, OMV expects the average Brent oil price to be at USD 40/bbl (previous forecast: USD 60/bbl; 2019:
USD 64/bbl). In 2020, the average realized gas price is anticipated to be at EUR 10/MWh (previous forecast: lower than pre-
vious year; 2019: EUR 11.9/MWh).
Group
- In 2020, organic CAPEX (including capitalized E&A and excluding acquisitions) is projected to come in below EUR 1.8 bn (previous forecast: EUR 2.4 bn; 2019: EUR 2.3 bn).
Upstream
-
OMV expects total production to be between 440 kboed/d and 470 kboe/d in 2020 (previous forecast: around 500 kboe/d;
2019: 487 kboe/d) depending on the security situation in Libya and imposed production cuts by governments. - Organic CAPEX for Upstream (including capitalized E&A and excluding acquisitions) is anticipated to come in at EUR 1.1 bn in 2020 (previous forecast: around EUR 1.6 bn; 2019: EUR 1.6 bn).

3/6
First quarter 2020 (Q1/20) compared to first quarter 2019 (Q1/19)
Consolidated sales revenuesdecreased by 12% to EUR 4,760 mn, driven by the overall lower global commodity price environ- ment. The clean CCS Operating Resultdeclined by 8% from EUR 759 mn to EUR 699 mn. The contribution of Upstream was EUR 137 mn (Q1/19: EUR 393 mn). In Downstream, the clean CCS Operating Result amounted to EUR 501 mn (Q1/19:
EUR 374 mn). The consolidation line was EUR 77 mn in Q1/20 (Q1/19: EUR 4 mn). OMV Petrom's clean CCS Operating Result
totaled EUR 203 mn (Q1/19: EUR 262 mn).
The clean CCS Group tax ratewas 33%, remaining on a similar level as Q1/19 (34%). The clean CCS net incomedropped to EUR 420 mn (Q1/19: EUR 482 mn). The clean CCS net income attributable to stockholderswas EUR 316 mn
(Q1/19: EUR 346 mn). Clean CCS Earnings Per Sharecame in at EUR 0.97 (Q1/19: EUR 1.06).
Net special itemsof EUR (165) mn were recorded in Q1/20 (Q1/19: EUR 12 mn). The reduction was mainly a consequence of Upstream asset impairments in New Zealand, Tunisia, and Austria following revised short term oil and gas price assumptions. CCS- effectsof EUR (453) mn were recognized in Q1/20. The OMV Group's reported Operating Resultfell by 89% to EUR 81 mn (Q1/19: EUR 766 mn). OMV Petrom's contribution to the Group's reported Operating Result declined by 35% to EUR 173 mn (Q1/19: EUR 268 mn).
The net financial resultamounted to EUR (77) mn (Q1/19: EUR (28) mn) mainly due to negative FX effects on the Russian ruble. The high Group tax ratein Q1/20 was the consequence of an overall low profit from ordinary activities and result contributions from high tax regimes in the Upstream Business Segment. The net income attributable to stockholdersdeclined to EUR (159) mn (Q1/19: EUR 354 mn). Earnings Per Shareamounted to EUR (0.49) (Q1/19: EUR 1.08).
As of March 31, 2020, the net debtexcluding leases equaled EUR 3,232 mn compared to EUR 2,205 mn as of March 31, 2019. The gearing ratioexcluding leases increased to 19% (March 31, 2019: 14%). The increase is mainly due to a decreased cash position resulting from major acquisitions in 2019.
Total capital expenditurecame in at EUR 469 mn (Q1/19: EUR 881 mn). In Q1/19, capital expenditure included a payment in the amount of USD 540 mn for a 50% interest in the newly formed company SapuraOMV. In Q1/20, organic capital expenditureincreased by 4% to EUR 422 mn (Q1/19: EUR 404 mn).

Business Segments
Upstream
First quarter 2020 (Q1/20) compared to first quarter 2019 (Q1/19)
- Production remained flat at 472 kboe/d
- Production costs decreased to USD 6.4/boe
The clean Operating Resultsharply declined from EUR 393 mn in Q1/19 to EUR 137 mn. The adverse market environment and reduced operational performance negatively impacted the result. Less depreciation could only partially offset these effects. Net market effects of EUR (235) mn impacted the result negatively. Significantly decreased average realized oil and gas prices were the main reason. Conversely, hedging gains and positive FX effects provided some support. The operational performance lowered the result by EUR 59 mn, mainly owing to write-offs of E&A wells in Austria, New Zealand, and Malaysia. These reductions were partially offset by higher sales volumes, mainly due to the start-up of the offshore gas field Larak in Malaysia and higher liftings in Nor- way. Depreciation decreased by EUR (38) mn and had a positive impact. This was mainly due to reserves revisions in New Zealand in Q4/19. In Q1/20, OMV Petrom contributed EUR 33 mn to the clean Operating Result, compared to EUR 174 mn in Q1/19.
Net special itemsamounted to EUR (146) mn in Q1/20 (Q1/19: EUR 13 mn). The decrease was mainly due to asset impairments in New Zealand, Tunisia, and Austria following revised short-term oil and gas price assumptions. The Operating Resultdecreased strongly to EUR (9) mn (Q1/19: EUR 406 mn).
Production costexcluding royalties declined by 5% year over year to USD 6.4/boe. OMV Petrom decreased its production cost to USD 10.9/boe.
Total hydrocarbon productionremained flat at 472 kboe/d. Lower production in Libya due to force majeure and slightly lower production in Russia and Romania were partially offset by the production start-up of the offshore gas field Larak in Malaysia. OMV Petrom's total production was down by 3 kboe/d to 150 kboe/d mostly because of natural decline. Total hydrocarbon sales volumesrose to 446 kboe/d (Q1/19: 427 kboe/d) following the mentioned production start-up in Malaysia and higher liftings in Norway. This was partially offset by lower sales volumes in Russia. As in Q1/19 there were no liftings in Libya in Q1/20.
In Q1/20, oil prices dropped sharply following a disagreement on further production cuts in an OPEC+ meeting on March 6. In addi- tion, the COVID-19 pandemic started to have a large negative impact on crude oil demand, further depressing oil prices. On a quarterly comparison, the average Brent pricewent down by 21% to USD 50/bbl. The Group's average realized crude pricedeclined by 22%. European gas markets have been negatively impacted by a combination of full storages and warmer than expected tem- peratures. On top of this already weak market environment, starting from mid-March 2020, a substantial negative impact from COVID-19 could be seen throughout Europe. Significant global LNG oversupply triggered by massive capacity ramp-ups further depressed gas prices. The average realized gas pricein USD/1,000 cf decreased by 21%. Realized gas prices were supported by a hedging gain of EUR 9 mn in Q1/20.
Capital expenditureincluding capitalized E&A amounted to EUR 335 mn in Q1/20 (Q1/19: EUR 792 mn). In Q1/19, capital expenditure included in particular a payment in the amount of USD 540 mn for a 50% interest in the newly formed company Sapu- raOMV. In Q1/20, organic capital expenditure was primarily directed to projects in Romania, Norway, the United Arab Emirates, and New Zealand. Exploration expenditurerose by 62% to EUR 112 mn in Q1/20 and was mainly related to exploration activities in New Zealand, Malaysia, and Austria.

Downstream
First quarter 2020 (Q1/20) compared to first quarter 2019 (Q1/19)
- Q1/20 refinery utilization rate remained at a high rate of 94% despite a decline during the second half of March
- Significant positive result contribution from middle distillate margin hedges
- Strong performance of the retail and petrochemicals businesses
The clean CCS Operating Resultimproved considerably by 34% to EUR 501 mn (Q1/19: EUR 374 mn), essentially a consequence from a one-off effect from monetization of CO2 certificates, a significant positive contribution of middle distillate margin hedges, and a strong petrochemicals and retail business. OMV Petrom's input to the clean CCS Operating Result of Downstream amounted to EUR 137 mn (Q1/19: EUR 83 mn).
The OMV indicator refining margingrew by 22% to USD 4.9/bbl (Q1/19: USD 4.0/bbl). While middle distillate margins declined, light distillate and heavy fuel oil margins rose. Feedstock costs dropped considerably as a result of lower crude oil prices. The utilization rate of the refineriesin Q1/20 was at a high level of 94% (Q1/19: 98%) despite a decrease in the second half of March as travel restrictions tightened due to COVID-19. At 4.6 mn t, total refined product saleswent down by 4%, also reflecting the travel restrictions. The result from the retail business increased as a consequence of higher margins, despite slightly lower sales volumes. The commercial business marginally outperformed the Q1/19 result following higher margins, offsetting a sales volume decline. In Q1/19 the commercial business had benefited from a refinery outage of a competitor.
The contribution of the petrochemicals businessexpanded by 32% to EUR 93 mn (Q1/19: EUR 70 mn) due to lower costs of the
feedstock mix, which also includes other intermediates besides naphtha. The ethylene/propylene net margingrew slightly, while
the benzene net margin, which was impacted in Q1/19 by an oversupplied market, increased sharply. The butadiene net margin weakened considerably.
The contribution of Borealisdecreased by EUR 18 mn to EUR 54 mn (Q1/19: EUR 72 mn) mainly attributable to a lower result from Borouge due to weak market conditions in Asia. The fertilizer business improved thanks to lower natural gas prices and higher vol- umes.
In Q1/20, the contribution of ADNOC Refining & Tradingamounted to EUR (7) mn. As of Q1/20 the ADNOC Refining & Trading result is calculated based on Current Cost of Supply (CCS) and excludes inventory holding gains/losses. The result in Q1/20 was negatively impacted by an extensive turnaround of the Ruwais refinery complex, which started at the beginning of February and lasted until mid April. In addition, a weak market environment in Asia weighed on the result. The Trading JV is currently in the set-up phase.
The contribution of the gas businessgrew by 18% to EUR 92 mn (Q1/19: EUR 78 mn), mainly as a consequence of a better performance of the storage business. Gas Connect Austria was reclassified as an asset held for sale. Natural gas sales volumesstepped up significantly from 38.1 TWh to 48.0 TWh, driven by higher sales volumes in Romania, the Netherlands and Belgium. The increase in natural gas sales volumes in Romania was partially a consequence of allocations to the regulated gas market.
Net special itemsamounted to EUR (14) mn (Q1/19: EUR 11 mn) and were mainly related to unrealized commodity derivatives. CCS effectsof EUR (504) mn were caused by the sharp drop in crude oil prices in Q1/20. As a result the Operating Resultof Downstream decreased to EUR (18) mn compared to EUR 407 mn in Q1/19.
Capital expenditurein Downstream amounted to EUR 128 mn (Q1/19: EUR 83 mn). In Q1/20, organic capital expenditure was predominantly related to investments in the European refineries and in the retail business.
