Total’s Board of Directors, under the chairmanship of Thierry Desmarest, met on October 28, 2014, and reviewed the Group’s third quarter accounts. Commenting on the results, CEO Patrick Pouyanné said:

 

“Since the announcement of the death of Christophe de Margerie, Total has received an outpouring of messages commemorating the man, the captain of industry, the visionary. Under his leadership, our Group changed profoundly. In an industry confronted with crucial issues, he set out with conviction to make Total a stronger, more responsible company, capable of responding to the energy challenges of today and the future. Today, it is this commitment that drives me to forge ahead. The quality of our teams, the governance in place and our organization ensure more than ever the continuity of the process to transform the Group, for which, at his side, we worked on for many years.

 

In this context, it is my responsibility, nevertheless, to comment on the Group’s results. We reported solid adjusted net income of 3.6 billion dollars in the third quarter, an increase of 13% compared to the second quarter. The Upstream was resilient and the Downstream performance was strong, notably Refining & Chemicals, which captured the full benefit of higher refining margins.

 

The recent decrease in the price of Brent highlights the importance of the programs we launched to reduce costs and control investments to strengthen the resilience of the Group, which is already among the most robust in the industry.

 

We are continuing to pursue the asset sales program, notably with the announcement of our plan to sell Bostik.”

  Third quarter 2014 results

> Net operating income from business segments

In the third quarter 2014, the Brent price averaged 101.9 $/b, a decrease of 8% compared to the third quarter 2013 and 7% compared to the second quarter 2014. The Group’s European refining margin indicator (ERMI) averaged 29.9 $/t compared to 10.6 $/t in the third quarter 2013 and 10.9 $/t in the second quarter 2014.

The effective tax rate9 for the business segments was 52.1% in the third quarter 2014 compared to 54.6% in the third quarter 2013, reflecting mainly the strong Downstream results which are taxed at a lower rate.

Adjusted net operating income from the business segments was 3,927 M$ in the third quarter 2014 compared to 3,995 M$ in the third quarter 2013, a decrease of 2%, reflecting mainly a lower contribution from Upstream, driven essentially by the lower price of Brent, and largely offset by the solid performance of Refining & Chemicals.

> Net income (Group share)

Adjusted net income was 3,558 M$ in the third quarter 2014 compared to 3,628 M$ in the third quarter 2013, a decrease of 2%.

Adjusted net income excludes the after-tax inventory effect, the effect of changes in fair value and special items10:

 

  The after-tax inventory effect had a negative impact on net income of 403 M$ in the third quarter 2014 compared to a negative impact of 32 M$ in the third quarter 2013.

 

  Changes in fair value had a positive impact on net income of 14 M$ in the third quarter 2014 compared to a negative impact of 9 M$ in the third quarter 2013.

 

  Special items11 had a positive impact on net income of 294 M$ in the third quarter 2014, including mainly the gain on the sale of the Group’s interest in the Shah Deniz field in Azerbaijan and the impairment of the Ahnet project in Algeria. Special items had a positive impact on net income in the third quarter 2013 of 95 M$.

Net income (Group share) was 3,463 M$ in the third quarter 2014 compared to 3,682 M$ in the third quarter 2013.

The effective tax rate for the Group was 54.1% in the third quarter 2014 compared to 55.7% in the third quarter 2013. This decrease is mainly due to the proportion of Downstream in the results for the quarter, which benefitted from a more favorable tax rate.

On September 30, 2014, there were 2,285 million fully-diluted shares compared to 2,274 million shares on September 30, 2013.

Adjusted fully-diluted earnings per share, based on 2,285 million fully-diluted weighted-average shares, was $1.56 compared to $1.59 in the third quarter 2013.

Expressed in euro, adjusted fully-diluted earnings per share were €1.17, a 2% decrease.

> Investments – divestments12

Investments, excluding acquisitions and including changes in non-current loans, were 7.0 B$ in the third quarter 2014, an increase of 7% compared to 6.6 B$ in the third quarter 2013.

Acquisitions were 411 M$ in the third quarter 2014, notably comprised of the carry on the Utica gas and condensate field in the United States and the acquisition of additional Novatek13 shares in July.

Asset sales in the third quarter 2014 were 1,704 M$, essentially comprised of the sale of the Group’s interest in the Shah Deniz field in Azerbaijan.

Net investments14 were 5.7 B$ in the third quarter 2014 compared to 4.8 B$ in the third quarter 2013.

> Cash flow

Cash flow from operations was 7,639 M$ in the third quarter 2014, a decrease of 17% compared to the third quarter 2013.

Adjusted cash flow from operations15 was 6,741 M$, a decrease of 7% compared to the third quarter 2013.

The Group’s net cash flow16 was 1,899 M$ in the third quarter 2014 compared to 4,380 M$ in the third quarter 2013. The decrease is essentially due to a lower contribution from Upstream, which was affected by the decrease in the price of Brent, and an increase in net investments.

The net-debt-to-equity ratio was 27.8% on September 30, 2014, compared to 27.1% on June 30, 2014, and 23.0% on September 30, 201317.

  Results for the first nine months 2014

> Net operating income from business segments

Compared to the first nine months of 2013, the average Brent price decreased by 2% to 106.5 $/b. The European refining margin indicator (ERMI) was 15.8 $/t compared to 20.5 $/t in the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of 23%. The environment for the petrochemicals improved.

The effective tax rate18 for the business segments was 52.3% in the first nine months of 2014 compared to 55.6% in the first nine months of 2013, reflecting mainly the benefit of tax allowances in the UK in the second quarter 2014.

Adjusted net operating income from the business segments was 11,450 M$ compared to 12,026 M$ in the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of 5% that was due essentially to a lower contribution from Upstream in the third quarter 2014, which was affected by the decrease in the price of Brent, and the very unfavorable economic environment for the Downstream in the first half 2014.

> Net income (Group share)

Adjusted net income was 10,036 M$ compared to 10,907 M$ in the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of 8%.

Adjusted net income excludes the after-tax inventory effect, the effect of changes in fair value and special items19:

 

  The after-tax inventory effect had a negative impact on net income of 460 M$ in the first nine months 2014 and a negative impact of 625 M$ in the first nine months of 2013.

 

  Changes in fair value had a positive impact on net income of 6 M$ in the first nine months of 2014 compared to a negative impact of 39 M$ in the first nine of months 2013.

 

  Special items20 had a positive impact on net income of 320 M$ in the first nine months 2014, including mainly the gain on the sale (partial IPO) of an interest in Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) and the gain on the sale of the Shah Deniz field in Azerbaijan, partially offset by the impairment of the Shtokman project in Russia. Special items had a negative impact on net income of 1,249 M$ in the first nine months of 2013.

Net income (Group share) was 9,902 M$ compared to 8,994 M$ in the first nine months of 2013.

The effective tax rate for the Group was 55.7% compared to 56.8% in the first nine months of 2013. The lower rate reflects mainly the benefit of tax allowances in the UK in the second quarter 2014, partially offset by the fact that since January 1, 2014, due to its fiscal situation in France, the Group is no longer recognizing the benefit of tax credits related to net operating losses in France.

On September 30, 2014, there were 2,285 million fully-diluted shares compared to 2,274 million shares on September 30, 2013.

Adjusted fully-diluted earnings per share, based on 2,279 million fully-diluted weighted-average shares, was $4.40 compared to $4.81 in the first nine months of 2013.

Expressed in euro, adjusted fully-diluted earnings per share were €3.25, a decrease of 11%.

> Investments – divestments21

Investments, excluding acquisitions and including changes in non-current loans, were 19.4 B$ in the first nine months of 2014, stable compared to the first nine months of 2013.

Acquisitions were 1,809 M$ in the first nine months of 2014, essentially comprised of the acquisition of an interest in the Elk and Antelope discoveries in Papua New Guinea, the acquisition of additional Novatek22 shares and the carry on the Utica gas and condensate field in the United States.

Asset sales in the first nine months of 2014 were 3,381 M$, essentially comprised of the sale of the the Group’s interest in the Shah Deniz field in Azerbaijan and the sale of block 15/06 in Angola.

Net investments23 were 17.7 B$ compared to 17.1 B$ in the first nine months of 2013, an increase of 3%.

> Cash flow

Cash flow from operations was 18,254 M$ in the first nine months of 2014, a decrease of 4% compared to the first nine months 2013.

Adjusted cash flow from operations24 was 18,876 M$, a decrease of 8% compared to the first nine months of 2013.

The Group’s net cash flow25 was 523 M$ compared to 1,795 M$ in the first nine months of 2013. The decrease is essentially due to a lower contribution from asset sales as well as the decrease in cash flow from operations between the two periods.

The net-debt-to-equity ratio was 27.8% on September 30, 2014, compared to 23.0% on September 30, 201326.

  -7% essentially for the expiration of the Adco license in the United Arab Emirates,

 

  -3% for natural decline, partially offset by lower planned maintenance and improved security conditions in Nigeria,

 

  +2% for production growth from start-ups, notably CLOV in Angola.

Excluding Adco, which expired in January 2014, hydrocarbon production in the third quarter decreased by 1.5% compared to the third quarter 2013 and increased by 3% compared to the second quarter 2014.

For the first nine months of 2014, hydrocarbon production was 2,118 kboe/d, a decrease of 8% compared to the first nine months of 2013, due to the following:

 

  -6% essentially for the expiration of the Adco license in the United Arab Emirates,

 

  -3% essentially for natural decline,

 

  +1% for production growth from start-ups.

For the first nine months of 2014, excluding Adco, hydrocarbon production decreased by 2% compared to the first nine months of 2013.

Adjusted net operating income from the Upstream segment was 2,765 M$ in the third quarter 2014, a decrease of 10% compared to the third quarter 2013, essentially due to the decrease in the average realized prices of oil and gas.

The effective tax rate for the Upstream segment was 59.1%, essentially stable compared to 60.1% in the third quarter 2013.

Adjusted net operating income from the Upstream segment in the first nine months of 2014 was 8,908 M$ compared to 9,385 M$ in the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of 5% which was due essentially to the decrease in hydrocarbon production and the decrease in the average realized prices of oil and gas.

The return on average capital employed (ROACE27) for the Upstream segment was 12% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 13% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, and 14% for the full-year 2013.

In the third quarter 2014, refinery throughput increased by 7% compared to the third quarter 2013, due to the start up of Satorp, which reached full throughput capacity, and a more limited maintenance program in Europe.

For the first nine months of 2014, refinery throughput decreased slightly compared to the first nine months of 2013, essentially due to voluntary throughput reductions in Europe linked to low margins in the first half 2014.

The European refining margin indicator was 29.9 $/t in the third quarter, nearly three times higher than in the third quarter 2013, due to the decrease in the price of Brent and relatively strong refined product prices in the context of turnarounds for maintenance, notably in the United States. The environment for petrochemicals also remained favorable during the quarter, particularly in the United States.

Adjusted net operating income from the Refining & Chemicals segment was 786 M$ in the third quarter 2014 compared to 461 M$ in the third quarter 2013, an increase of 70%. The segment, strengthened by ongoing plans for operational efficiencies and synergies, was able to fully benefit from the higher margins during the quarter thanks to excellent reliability.

Adjusted net operating income from the Refining & Chemicals segment for the first nine months of 2014 was 1,533 M$, an increase of 8% compared to the first nine months of 2013 despite a 23% decrease in the refining margin indicator compared to the same period last year. The restructuring is bearing fruit and, in a volatile environment, Total has adapted itself by reducing its breakeven point and is able to benefit when the environment is good.

The ROACE28 for the Refining & Chemicals segment was 10% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 8% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, and 9% for the full-year 2013.

In the third quarter 2014, sales increased by 2% compared to the third quarter of last year, due to higher sales in growth areas, notably in Africa and the Middle East.

Sales volumes for the first nine months of 2014 were stable compared to the first nine months of 2013, reflecting a decrease of 4% in Europe that was offset by net growth in Africa and the Middle East.

The Marketing & Services segment’s sales were 28 B$ in the third quarter 2014, a slight decrease compared to the third quarter 2013.

Adjusted net operating income for Marketing & Services was 376 M$ in the third quarter 2014, a decrease of 16% compared to the third quarter 2013, mainly due to lower margins in Europe, which were exceptionally high in the third quarter 2013, notably in the European network.

Adjusted net operating income for Marketing & Services for the first nine months of 2014 was 1,009 M$, a decrease of 18% compared to the first nine months of 2013, mainly due to the impact of weather conditions in the first half and a less favorable evolution of margins, which were significantly higher for the European network in the same period last year.

The ROACE29 for the Marketing & Services segment was 14% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014, unchanged compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2014. For the full year 2013, the ROACE was 16%.

  Summary and outlook

The ROACE30 for the Group for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014, was 12%, unchanged compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2014. It was 13% for the full-year 2013.

Return on equity for the twelve months ended September 30, 2014, was 14%.

Since the end of the third quarter, the price of Brent has been weaker. Despite being prepared for periods of volatility, the Group maintains a medium and long term outlook for the price of Brent that is higher than those seen since the start of October.

In the Upstream, although it has the lowest technical costs among the majors, Total has already launched initiatives for cost reduction and is preparing for the start-up of its development projects that will fuel the growth of its cash flow.

In the Downstream, the reduction of the breakeven point for Refining & Chemicals in Europe is continuing, strengthening the profitability of its operations and capacity to adapt to less favorable environments than those experienced through mid-October. The diversified marketing activities of the Group, expanding in growth areas, will contribute to the stability of future performance.

With the completion of several sales announced this year, the target of 15-20 B$ of asset sales for the 2012-14 period will be fully achieved.

As approved by the Board of Directors, Total will pay a third quarter 2014 interim dividend of 0.61 €/share on March 25, 2014.

The strength of the Group is in the quality of its teams, its strategy, its discipline and its integrated portfolio. These were the qualities of Christophe de Margerie in whose memory the Group’s employees are mobilized toward success.

This press release presents the results for the third quarter 2014 and first nine months of 2014 from the consolidated financial statements of TOTAL S.A. as of September 30, 2014. The notes to these consolidated financial statements (unaudited) are available on the TOTAL web site (www.total.com).

This document may contain forward-looking information on the Group (including objectives and trends), as well as forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, notably with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, business, strategy and plans of TOTAL. These data do not represent forecasts within the meaning of European Regulation No. 809/2004.

Such forward-looking information and statements included in this document are based on a number of economic data and assumptions made in a given economic, competitive and regulatory environment. They may prove to be inaccurate in the future, and are subject to a number of risk factors that could lead to a significant difference between actual results and those anticipated, 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. 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 Company’s financial results or the Group’s activities is provided in the most recent Registration Document filed by the Company with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers and annual report on Form 20-F 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. Performance indicators excluding the adjustment items, such as adjusted operating income, adjusted net operating income, and adjusted net income are meant to facilitate the analysis of the financial performance and the comparison of income between periods. 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.

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

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 herein 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.

* Sensitivities are revised once per year upon publication of the previous year’s fourth quarter results. Following the change to dollar-denominated reporting, effective January 1, 2014, the €-$ sensitivity has been changed. The impact of the €-$ sensitivity on operating income and on net operating income is 60% and 80% attributable to the Refining & Chemicals segment, respectively.

Sensitivities are estimates based on assumptions about the Group’s portfolio in 2014. Actual results could vary significantly from estimates based on the application of these sensitivities.
