Paris, February 9, 2021 – Total SE’s Board of Directors met on February 8, 2021, under the chairmanship of CEO Patrick Pouyanné to approve the Group’s 2020 financial statements. On this occasion, Patrick Pouyanné said:

“The Group’s fourth quarter results rebounded from the previous quarter in a context where oil prices stabilized above $40 per barrel, thanks to strong OPEC+ discipline, and where gas prices rose sharply in Europe and Asia, but where refining margins remained depressed, still affected by low demand and high inventories. In this context, the Group demonstrates its ability to benefit from an overall more favorable environment with adjusted net income up by more than 50% to $1.3 billion and cash flow (DACF) of $4.9 billion.

Total faced two major crises in 2020: the Covid-19 pandemic that severely affected global energy demand, and the oil crisis that drove the Brent price below $20 per barrel in the second quarter. In this particularly difficult context, the Group implemented an immediate action plan and proved its resilience thanks to the quality of its portfolio (production cost of $5.1 per boe, the lowest among its peers) and its integrated model with cash flow (DACF) generation of nearly $18 billion. It posted adjusted net income of $4.1 billion and, thanks to strong discipline on investments ($13 billion, down 26%) and costs ($1.1 billion in savings), the organic cash breakeven was $26 per barrel. Consistent with its climate ambition, the Group recorded exceptional asset impairments of $10 billion, notably on Canadian oil sands assets, most of which were recorded in its accounts at the end of June, leading to an IFRS loss for the year of $7.2 billion.

2020 represents a pivoting year for the Group’s strategy with the announcement of its ambition to get to Net Zero, together with society. The Group affirms its plan to transform itself into a broad energy company to meet the dual challenge of the energy transition: more energy, less emissions. Thus, the Group’s profile will be transformed over the 2020-30 decade: the growth of energy production will be based on two pillars, LNG and Renewables & Electricity, while oil products are expecting to fall from 55% to 30% of sales. To anchor this transformation, the Group will propose to its shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on May 28, 2021, changing its name to TotalEnergies. They will hence have the opportunity to endorse this strategy and the underlying ambition to transition to carbon neutrality.

In 2020, Total secured its investments in Renewables & Electricity ($2 billion) and accelerated the implementation of its strategy to grow renewables, adding 10 GW to its portfolio. With the acquisition at the start of 2021 of a 20% stake in Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), the largest solar developer in the world, and of portfolios of projects in the United States, the Group now has a portfolio of gross installed capacity, under construction and in development of 35 GW by 2025 with more than 20 GW already benefiting from long-term power purchase agreements.

Total preserves its financial strength with a gearing of 21.7% at the end of 2020. Confident in the Group’s fundamentals, the Board of Directors confirms its policy of supporting the dividend through economic cycles. Therefore, it will propose at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 28, 2021, the distribution of a final dividend of 0.66 € per share, equal to the previous three quarters, and set the dividend for 2020 at 2.64 € per share.”

Capacity at end of period.

Solar, wind, biogas, hydroelectric and combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants.

Hydrocarbon production for LNG in the fourth quarter decreased by 15% compared to a year ago, notably due to the shutdown of Snøhvit LNG following a fire at the end of September 2020.

Total LNG sales increased by 12% in 2020 compared to 2019 thanks to the start-up of three trains at Cameron LNG in the United States, the ramp-up of Yamal LNG in Russia and Ichthys LNG in Australia and the increase in trading activities.

Gross installed renewable power generation capacity more than doubled during the year to reach 7 GW at the end of the fourth quarter, notably thanks to the acquisition in India of 50% of a 3 GWp portfolio from the Adani Group.

The Group continues to implement its strategy to integrate along the electricity and gas chain in Europe and has increased the number of its electricity and gas customers by 1.5 million and 1 million, respectively, notably thanks to the finalization of the acquisition in the fourth quarter of a portfolio of customers from Energías de Portugal in Spain.

Net electricity production was 4.3 TWh in the fourth quarter, an increase of 20% compared to last year, notably due to the doubling of renewable electricity production and the acquisition of four CCGT (combined cycle gas turbine) power stations in France and Spain.

Sales of electricity and gas in the fourth quarter increased by 5% and 7%, respectively, compared to a year ago thanks to the growth in the number of customers.

Based on olefins production from steamcrackers and their treatment capacity at the start of the year.

Refinery throughput volumes:

●

Decreased by 16% in the fourth quarter 2020 compared to the previous year, mainly due to high inventories of refined products and the drop in demand which notably led to the economic shutdown of the Donges refinery.

●

Decreased by 23% in 2020 year-on-year for the same reasons as well as the prolonged shutdown of the distillation unit at the Normandy platform following the incident that occurred at the end of 2019.

Monomer production:

●

Increased 4% in the fourth quarter 2020 year-on-year to 1,486 kt

●

Increased 6% in 2020 year-on-year, supported by demand, and notably as a result of 2019 planned maintenance on the steamcracker at Daesan in South Korea.

Polymer production:

●

Increased by 10% in the fourth quarter 2020 year-on-year to 1,291 kt, supported by demand, and due to planned maintenance in the fourth quarter 2019.

●

Stable in 2020 compared to 2019

Refining & Chemicals adjusted net operating income was:

●

Down year-on-year to $170 million in the fourth quarter 2020. The decrease was due to depressed refining margins resulting from weak demand, notably for distillates as a result of reduced air traffic.

●

Down 65% year-on-year to $1,039 million in 2020, due to refining margin deterioration, partially offset by resilient petrochemical margins and outperformance of the trading activities.

Operating cash flow before working capital changes fell to $560 million in the fourth quarter 2020, down 29% compared to a year ago, and to $2,472 million in 2020, down by 39%.

Excludes trading and bulk refining sales

Petroleum product sales volumes decreased by 18% in the fourth quarter compared to a year ago and by 20% in 2020 compared to 2019, in response to the significant slowdown in global activity related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Aviation and marine activities remain severely affected in this context; however, the decline in retail sales was mitigated by network growth in Angola, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Mexico.

In a 50 $/b Brent environment.

Summary and outlook

Supported by OPEC+ quota compliance, oil prices have remained above 50 $/b since the beginning of 2021. However, the oil environment remains uncertain and dependent on the recovery of global demand, still affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a context of disciplined OPEC+ quota implementation, the Group anticipates 2021 production will be stable compared to 2020, benefiting from the resumption of production in Libya.

The Group continues its profitable growth in LNG with sales expected to increase by 10% in 2021 compared to 2020, notably due to the ramp-up of Cameron LNG.

European refining margins remain fragile, with low demand for jet fuel weighing on the recovery of distillates. However, thanks to the resilience of Marketing & Services, the Group expects Downstream to contribute more than $5 billion of cash flow in 2021, assuming refining margins of 25 $/t.

Faced with uncertainties in the environment, net investments are projected at $12 billion in 2021, while preserving the flexibility to mobilize additional investments should the oil and gas environment strengthen. After reducing operating costs by $1.1 billion in 2020 compared to 2019, the Group maintains strong discipline on spending and targets additional savings of $0.5 billion in 2021.

The Group’s teams are fully committed to the four priorities of HSE, operational excellence, cost reduction and cash flow generation.

The Group maintains its priorities for cash flow allocation: investing in profitable projects to implement the Group’s transformation strategy, support the dividend and maintain a strong balance sheet.

Already in 2021, in renewables, the Group has announced more than 10 GW of additional projects through the acquisition of a 20% stake in Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), the world’s leading solar developer, a partnership with Hanwha in the United States with a 1.6 GW portfolio, and the acquisition of a 2.2 GW portfolio of projects in Texas. Total will allocate in 2021 more than 20% of its net investments to Renewables and Electricity.

These forward-looking statements are not historical data and should not be interpreted as assurances that the perspectives, objectives or goals announced will be achieved. They may prove to be inaccurate in the future, and may evolve or be modified with a significant difference between the actual results and those initially estimated, due to the uncertainties notably related to the economic, financial, competitive and regulatory environment, or due to the occurrence of risk factors, such as, notably, the price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas, the evolution of the demand and price of petroleum products, the changes in production results and reserves estimates, the ability to achieve cost reductions and operating efficiencies without unduly disrupting business operations, changes in laws and regulations including those related to the environment and climate, currency fluctuations, as well as economic and political developments, changes in market conditions, loss of market share and changes in consumer preferences including those due to epidemics such as Covid-19. Additionally, certain financial information is based on estimates particularly in the assessment of the recoverable value of assets and potential impairments of assets relating thereto.

Neither TOTAL nor any of its subsidiaries assumes any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking information or statement, objectives or trends contained in this document whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information on factors, risks and uncertainties that could affect the Group’s business, financial condition, including its operating income and cash flow, reputation or outlook is provided in the most recent version of the Universal Registration Document which is filed by the Company with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers and the annual report on Form 20-F/A filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Financial information by business segment is reported in accordance with the internal reporting system and shows internal segment information that is used to manage and measure the performance of TOTAL. In addition to IFRS measures, certain alternative performance indicators are presented, such as performance indicators excluding the adjustment items described below (adjusted operating income, adjusted net operating income, adjusted net income), return on equity (ROE), return on average capital employed (ROACE), gearing ratio and operating cash flow before working capital changes. These indicators are meant to facilitate the analysis of the financial performance of TOTAL and the comparison of income between periods. They allow investors to track the measures used internally to manage and measure the performance of the Group.

These adjustment items include:

(i) Special items

Due to their unusual nature or particular 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, transactions such as restructuring costs or asset disposals, which are not considered to be representative of the normal course of business, may be qualified as special items although they may have occurred within prior years or are likely to occur again within the coming years.

(ii) Inventory valuation effect

The adjusted results of the Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments are 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 price differentials between one period and another or the average prices of the period rather than the historical value. The inventory valuation effect is the difference between the results according to the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and the replacement cost.

(iii) Effect of changes in fair value

The effect of changes in fair value presented as an adjustment item reflects, for some transactions, differences between internal measures of performance used by TOTAL’s management and the accounting for these transactions under IFRS.

IFRS requires that trading inventories be recorded at their fair value using period-end spot prices. In order to best reflect the management of economic exposure through derivative transactions, internal indicators used to measure performance include valuations of trading inventories based on forward prices.

TOTAL, in its trading activities, enters into storage contracts, whose future effects are recorded at fair value in Group’s internal economic performance. IFRS precludes recognition of this fair value effect.

Furthermore, TOTAL enters into derivative instruments to risk manage certain operational contracts or assets. Under IFRS, these derivatives are recorded at fair value while the underlying operational transactions are recorded as they occur. Internal indicators defer the fair value on derivatives to match with the transaction occurrence.

The adjusted results (adjusted operating income, adjusted net operating income, adjusted net income) are defined as replacement cost results, adjusted for special items, excluding the effect of changes in fair value.

Euro amounts presented for the fully adjusted-diluted earnings per share represent dollar amounts converted at the average euro-dollar (€-$) exchange rate for the applicable period and are not the result of financial statements prepared in euros.
