The Board of Directors of Total, led by Chairman and CEO Christophe de Margerie, met on July 29, 2010 to review the Group’s second quarter and first half 2010 accounts.
Adjusted net income for the second quarter 2010 was 2,961 million euros (M€), an increase of 72% compared to the second quarter 2009 and 29% compared to first quarter 2010. Expressed in dollars, the increases were 60% and 19%, respectively.
The Board of Directors approved the 2010 interim dividend of 1.14 €/share for payment in November5, at the same level as the interim and final dividend payments for 2009.
Commenting on the results, Christophe de Margerie said :
«Our industry was marked by the accident in the second quarter on the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico. We are reminded once again that safety and the environment must remain our top priorities in this business. Total reacted immediately by launching a complete review of all its existing procedures and drilling operations, including the procedures to be implemented in the event of an accident. More generally, the Group is pursuing a particularly strict policy to put in place the necessary means to define and apply rigorous processes, by emphasizing the proper training and management of our teams.
In the second quarter, the economic environment for our activities was globally favorable with Brent trading around 75 $/b, refining margins at slightly higher levels and improved Chemicals environment compared to the first quarter 2010. However, natural gas prices were still depressed.
In this context, adjusted net income rose to 3.8 billion dollars (B$) in the second quarter 2010, a 60% increase compared to the second quarter 2009 and a 19% increase compared to the first quarter 2010, which is at the level of the best among the majors. In euros, the increase in adjusted net income was 72% and 29%, respectively, due to the appreciation of the dollar this quarter.
Cash flow from operations increased to 6.3 billion dollars, more than twice the level of the same quarter last year. As of June 30, 2010, the Group’s net-debt-to-equity ratio was 23%.
In addition to the generally favorable environment, these results reflect our strong operational performance and the growth in our activities. In particular, Upstream production grew by 8% compared to the second quarter 2009 and by 6% in the first half 2010 compared to the first half last year, essentially due to the ramp-ups on major projects started up in 2009.
In addition, the Group continued to expand its asset portfolio : in the Upstream, the agreement with UTS should allow Total to acquire 20% of the Fort Hills project in Canada and reconfigure its heavy oil portfolio there. The Group also acquired several exploration permits in Brazil, Indonesia, Yemen and the joint development zone between Nigeria, Sao Tomé and Principe. In the Downstream and Chemicals, completing the financing for the Jubail refinery and starting up the Qatofin cracker in Qatar are new steps in progressively repositioning the portfolio, with projects that are particularly robust and oriented toward growing markets. In new energies, the Group expanded its portfolio notably through an equity interest and strategic partnership in biomass and by launching the construction of a concentrated solar energy plant in Abu Dhabi.
Based on strong operational performance, a capacity to adapt to changes in the environment and a solid balance sheet, the Group approaches the second half of 2010 confidant in its outlook and its strategy for growth as an integrated major.»

Second quarter 2010 refinery throughput decreased by 2% compared to the second quarter 2009 but increased by 7% compared to the first quarter 2010.
Scheduled turnarounds in the second quarter 2010 affected the Rome and Lindsey refineries. Despite the Dunkirk refinery and a distillation unit at the Normandy refinery being stopped throughout the second quarter 2010, the improved reliability of the refineries and the relatively low level of scheduled turnarounds led to an increase in the utilization rate based on crude and other feedstock to 83% in the second quarter 2010 compared to 77% in the first quarter 2010 and 84% in the second quarter 2009.
In the first half 2010, refinery throughput decreased by 6% compared to the first half 2009, reflecting essentially the Dunkirk refinery and a distillation unit at the Normandy refinery being stopped.

In the second quarter 2010, petrochemical margins showed a net improvement over the second quarter 2009, driven by stronger margins in the Atlantic basin.
Sales for the Chemical segment were 4.6 B€.
Adjusted net operating income from the Chemicals segment increased to 274 M€ in the second quarter 2010 from 71 M€ in the second quarter 2009 due to the improved petrochemicals and specialties environment and the benefits realized through cost reduction.
In the first half 2010, adjusted net operating income from the Chemicals segment was 431 M€ compared to 39 M€ in the first half 2009. The increase resulted from the improvement in market conditions in 2010 as well as from the cost reduction efforts implemented over the course of the past years and the effective positioning of the Group’s Specialty chemicals during the recovery from the crisis.
The ROACE26 of the Chemical segment for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 was 9% compared to 6% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010 and 4% for the full year 2009.
The annualized second quarter 2010 ROACE for the Chemicals segment was 15%.

This document does not constitute the Financial Report for the first half which will be separately published, in accordance with article L.451-1-2 III of the French Code monétaire et financier, and is available on our web site www.total.com or upon request at the company’s headquarters.
The June 30, 2010 notes to the consolidated financial statements are available on the Total web site (www.total.com). This document may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, business, strategy and plans of Total. Such statements are based on a number of assumptions that could ultimately prove inaccurate, and are subject to a number of risk factors, including currency fluctuations, the price of petroleum products, the ability to realize cost reductions and operating efficiencies without unduly disrupting business operations, environmental regulatory considerations and general economic and business conditions. Total does not assume any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information on factors which could affect the company’s financial results is provided in documents filed by the Group and its affiliates with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Business segment information is presented in accordance with the Group internal reporting system used by the Chief operating decision maker to measure performance and allocate resources internally. Due to their particular nature or significance, certain transactions qualified as “special items” are excluded from the business segment figures. In general, special items relate to transactions that are significant, infrequent or unusual. However, in certain instances, certain transactions such as restructuring costs or assets disposals, which are not considered to be representative of normal course of business, may be qualified as special items although they may have occurred within prior years or are likely to recur within following years.
The adjusted results of the Downstream and Chemical segments are also presented according to the replacement cost method. This method is used to assess the segments’ performance and facilitate the comparability of the segments’ performance with those of its competitors.
In the replacement cost method, which approximates the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) method, the variation of inventory values in the statement of income is, depending on the nature of the inventory, determined using either the month-end prices differential between one period and another or the average prices of the period. The inventory valuation effect is the difference between the results according to FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and the replacement cost.
In this framework, performance measures such as adjusted operating income, adjusted net operating income and adjusted net income are defined as incomes using replacement cost, adjusted for special items and excluding Total’s equity share of the adjustment items related to Sanofi-Aventis. They are meant to facilitate the analysis of the financial performance and the comparison of income between periods.
Dollar amounts presented herein represent euro amounts converted at the average euro-dollar exchange rate for the applicable period and are not the result of financial statements prepared in dollars.
