Paris, April 26, 2018 - Total’s Board of Directors met on April 25, 2018, to review the Group’s first quarter accounts. Commenting on the results, Chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné said:

« Oil prices continued to rebound in the first quarter 2018. Brent rose to an average of $67 per barrel, supported by strong demand, OPEC-non-OPEC compliance and geopolitical tensions. Conversely, as a result of this increase, refining margins were weaker (-34%). In this context, the Group’s adjusted net income and DACF continued to increase, achieving growth of 13% and 16%, respectively, compared to a year ago, in line with announced sensitivities. Cash flow after organic investments increased to $2.8 billion, up by more than 50% from a year ago, thanks to good operational performance and continued spending discipline. Return on equity was 10%.

In line with the shareholder return policy announced in February, the Group is raising the first 2018 interim dividend by 3.2%. Scrip shares issued in January for the second 2017 interim dividend were bought back to prevent any dilution. In addition, the group bought back a further $300 million of shares to return to shareholders part of the benefit realized from higher oil prices.

First quarter production reached a record level of more than 2.7 Mboe/d, an increase of more than 5% from a year ago, despite the expiration of the Mahakam permit in Indonesia. Notable drivers included the ramp-ups of new projects, like Yamal LNG in Russia and Moho Nord in Congo, as well as the contribution of new assets, in particular Maersk Oil and Al Shaheen in Qatar. There were two start-ups in the first quarter, Fort Hills in Canada and Timimoun in Algeria.

The Group continues to prepare for the future. Major successes were achieved by successfully obtaining two new 40-year concessions in offshore Abu Dhabi, acquiring a 16% interest in the Waha onshore concession in Libya and growing its position in the deep-offshore Gulf of Mexico, following the giant discovery of Ballymore in January.

In the Downstream, the Group is pursuing its growth in petrochemicals with the finalization of a joint venture with NOVA and Borealis in the United States and by signing an agreement in principle to build a giant petrochemical complex integrated into the SATORP refinery in Saudi Arabia.

The announced acquisition of Direct Energie allows Total to accelerate its development in gas and power generation and distribution in France and Belgium. This transaction is part of the Group’s strategy to expand along the entire gas-power value chain and to develop low-carbon energies. »

    +7% due to new start-ups and ramp-ups, notably Moho Nord, Yamal LNG, Edradour-Glenlivet, Kashagan, Fort Hills and Libra;

 

    0% portfolio effect. The integration of Al-Shaheen in Qatar, the assets of Maersk Oil, Waha in Libya and Lapa and Iara fields in Brazil were offset by the expiration of the Mahakam permit in Indonesia at the end of 2017;

 

    +1% related to improved security conditions in Libya and Nigeria;

 

    -3% due to the PSC price effect, natural field decline and production quotas.

Exploration & Production adjusted net operating income was 2,183 M$ in the first quarter 2018, an increase of close to 60% compared to 2017. Production growth and cost reduction efforts helped capture the benefit of higher oil and gas prices, despite an increase in tax rate to 48% in line with increasing hydrocarbon prices.

Operating cash flow before working capital changes increased by 28% for the same reasons.

Exploration & Production generated 2.2 B$ of cash flow after organic investments in the first quarter 2018.

Group results

 

  > Adjusted net operating income from business segments

Adjusted net operating income from the business segments was 3,385 M$ in the first quarter 2018, an increase of 22% compared to last year, due to the strong performance from Exploration & Production, taking advantage of higher prices and production growth, from Gas Renewables & Power, and Marketing & Services, which continues to develop in growing markets, and with a decrease in contribution from Refining & Chemicals, in a context of lower refining margins.

 

  > Adjusted net income (Group share)

Adjusted net income was 2,884 M$ in the first quarter 2018, an increase of 13% compared to a year ago. The increase was due to the performance of the segments which increased by a 22%. The net cost of the net debt increased compared to last year, mainly due to the increase in dollar interest rates.

Adjusted net income excludes the after-tax inventory effect, special items and the impact of changes in fair value11.

Total adjustments affecting net income12 were -248 M$ in the first quarter 2018.

The effective tax rate for the Group was 39.9% in the first quarter 2018, compared to 31.3% a year ago, due to the increase in the effective tax rate for Exploration & Production, in line with higher hydrocarbon prices, and the larger contribution of this segment to the Group’s results this quarter.

 

  > Adjusted fully-diluted earnings per share

Adjusted earnings per share in the first quarter 2018 increased by 8% to $1.09, calculated on the basis of a weighted average of 2,568 million fully-diluted shares, from $1.01 in the first quarter 2017.

The number of fully-diluted shares was 2,632 million on March 31, 2018.

Following the February 2018 announcements about shareholder return, the Group proceeded to buy back 9.8 million shares in the first quarter for cancellation. The buyback is comprised of repurchasing all shares issued in the quarter as scrip dividend to eliminate dilution as well as an additional repurchase of shares for 294 M$ to return to shareholders some benefit resulting from higher oil prices.

 

  > Divestments – acquisitions

Asset sales completed in the first quarter 2018 were 2,169 M$, comprised mainly of the sale of the higher-cost Martin Linge field in Norway, an interest in Fort Hills in Canada and the marketing activities of TotalErg in Italy.

Acquisitions completed in the first quarter 2018 were 3,688 M$, comprised mainly of the acquisition of interests in the deep-offshore fields of Iara and Lapa in Brazil, interests in two new 40-year concessions in offshore Abu Dhabi, and the acquisition of 16.3% in the Waha field in Libya, net of the cash attained from the consolidation of Maersk Oil.

 

  > Net cash flow

The Group’s net cash flow13 was 1,231 M$ in the first quarter 2018. The 15% increase in operating cash flow before working capital changes funded net investments, which increased by almost 3.4 B$ essentially linked to significant acquisitions closed in the first quarter 2018 (3.7 B$).

Return on equity for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, was 10%, an increase compared to the same period a year ago.

Summary and outlook

Since the start of the second quarter 2018, Brent has traded at around 70 $/b in a context of sustained demand growth and inventory reduction. The environment remains nevertheless volatile with persistent uncertainty around the evolution of global supply.    

The Group rigorously maintains its discipline on costs. The Opex target of 5.5 $/boe is maintained for 2018. The cost reduction program is ongoing with an objective of more than $4 billion in 2018. The Group’s organic breakeven point continues to decrease, with a target of 25 $/b this year.                

The Group continues to invest in profitable projects and take advantage of a favorable cost environment. An investment level of $15-17 billion (organic and acquisitions net of asset sales) is confirmed for 2018.    

Production growth should surpass the 2018 target of 6%, thanks to the start-ups and ramp-ups of new projects, as well as the integration of recently acquired assets, supporting the 2016-22 target of 5% per year on average.

The start-up of cash-accretive projects plus the full contribution of new assets, mainly Maersk Oil, should continue to feed the growth in cash flow for the rest of the year 2018.

Since the start of the second quarter, refining margins are higher at around 30 $/t. Scheduled maintenance has affected refineries utilization rates since mid-March, mainly on the petrochemical side of the Normandy platform and on one of two refining trains at the Antwerp platform.    

In line with announcements on the shareholder return policy, the Group will buy back dividend scrip shares issued this year to eliminate any dilution. In addition, the Group will continue to buy back up to $5 billion of shares over the period 2018-20 so that shareholders benefit from the free cash flow. The dividend will be increased by 10% over the next three years to reach 2.72 euros per share in 2020.

This press release presents the results for the first quarter 2018 from the consolidated financial statements of TOTAL S.A. as of March 31, 2018 (unaudited). The audit procedures by the Statutory Auditors are underway. This document does not constitute the Annual Financial Report (Rapport Financier Annuel) within the meaning of article L. 451-1-2 of the French monetary and financial Code (Code monétaire et financier).

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, the French language version of which is 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, whose 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.
