Second 2020 interim dividend set at 0.66 €/share

Paris, July 30, 2020 - Total’s Board of Directors met on July 29, 2020, under the chairmanship of CEO Patrick Pouyanné to approve the Group’s second quarter 2020 financial statements. On this occasion, Patrick Pouyanné said:

« During the second quarter, the Group faced exceptional circumstances: the COVID-19 health crisis with its impact on the global economy and the oil market crisis with Brent falling sharply to 30 $/b on average, gas prices dropping to historic lows and refining margins collapsing due to weak demand.

OPEC+ production restraint, however, has contributed to the market recovery since June, with an average Brent price above 40 $/b. The discipline with which the countries implemented the quotas reduced the Group’s production by close to 100 kboe/d in the second quarter to 2.85 Mboe/d, and the Group now anticipates full-year production in the range of 2.9-2.95 Mboe/d in 2020.

Due to the significant slowdown of the European economy during the lockdown, the Group’s retail networks observed an average decrease in petroleum products demand on the order of 30% during the quarter, and the utilization rate at its European refineries fell to around 60%. However, June saw a rebound of activity in Europe to 90% of pre-crisis levels for the retail networks and 97% for its gas and electricity marketing business.

In this historically difficult context, the Group demonstrates its resilience, reporting $3.6 billion of cash flow, positive adjusted net income and a level of gearing under control. These results are driven in particular by the outperformance of trading activities, once again demonstrating the relevance of Total’s integrated model, and by the effectiveness of the action plan put in place from the start of the crisis, notably the discipline on spend.

Taking into account this resilience, the Board of Directors maintains the second interim dividend at €0.66 per share and reaffirms its sustainability in a 40 $/b Brent environment.

This quarter shows once again the quality of the Group’s portfolio with a breakeven below 25 $/b, benefiting from the strategy to focus on assets with low production costs, notably in the Middle East. Active portfolio management continues with the sale of non-operated assets in Gabon and the Lindsey refinery in the United Kingdom.

In the midst of these short-term challenges, the Group is resolutely implementing its new climate ambition, announced on May 5, 2020 with the entry into a giant offshore wind project in the North Sea as well as the acquisition in Spain of a portfolio of 2.5 million residential gas and electricity customers plus electricity generation capacity. Investments in low-carbon electricity will be close to 2 B$ and account for nearly 15% of Capex in 2020. In line with this ambition, the Group reviewed the assets that could have been qualified as “stranded assets”. The only assets concerned are the Canadian oil sands projects and the Board of Directors has decided to impair these assets in Canada for $7 billion2

Hydrocarbon production for LNG was stable in the first half compared to last year.

Total LNG sales increased by 22% in the second quarter compared to last year, notably due to an increase in trading activities. For the first half, total sales increased by 24% year-on-year for the same reason and thanks to the ramp-up of Yamal LNG and Ichthys plus the start-up of the first two Cameron LNG trains in the US.

Gross installed renewable power generation capacity rose to 5.1 GW in the second quarter, a strong 97% increase year-on-year, notably thanks to the acquisition in India of 50% of a portfolio of more than 2 GW from the Adani Group.

The Group continues to implement its strategy to integrate along the gas and electricity chain in Europe and has seen the number of its gas and electricity customers grow during the quarter to 5.9 million, a 7% increase compared to a year ago. Sales of gas and electricity decreased by 3%, impacted by lower demand linked to the lockdown in Europe.

Exploration & Production adjusted net operating loss was $209 million in the second quarter compared to adjusted net operating income of $2,022 million a year ago due to the sharp drop in oil and gas prices and lower production. Operating cash flow before working capital changes was $1,810 million in the second quarter compared to $4,882 million a year earlier for the same reasons.

Exploration & Production adjusted net operating income fell to $494 million in the first half 2020 from $3,744 million in the first half 2019 due to the sharp drop in oil and gas prices. Operating cash flow before working capital changes was $4,386 million compared to $9,128 million in the first half 2019.

Refinery throughput volumes decreased by 22% in the second quarter and in the first half of 2020 year-on-year, mainly due to prolonging the planned shutdown at Feyzin in France, the decision to not restart Grandpuits after a major turnaround given the drop in demand and the shutdown of the distillation unit at the Normandy platform following an incident at the end of 2019.

Monomer production was:

   

Up by a strong 40% in the second quarter compared to a year ago. In the second quarter 2019, it was 993 kt due to planned maintenance on the steamcrackers at Daesan in South Korea and Port Arthur in the United States.

   

Up 16% in the first half for the same reasons.

Polymer production was:

   

Up 6% in the second quarter 2020 compared to a year ago. It was 1,127 kt in the second quarter 2019 due to planned maintenance of the steamcracker upstream of the polymer units at Daesan in South Korea.

   

Stable in the first half for the same reasons and taking into account the closure of the polystyrene site at El Prat in Spain and the planned maintenance at the Qatofin platform in Qatar in the first quarter 2020.

Refining & Chemicals adjusted net operating income decreased by 20% to $575 million in the second quarter 2020 compared to a year ago. The decrease was notably due to an even more severely degraded refining margin environment in the second quarter and low plant utilization of 59%, partially offset by resilient petrochemical margins and outperformance of the trading activities.

Operating cash flow before working capital changes was $996 million in the second quarter of 2020, up 24% year-on-year for the reasons above as well as the receipt in the second quarter of the dividend from HTC.

In the first half 2020, Refining & Chemicals adjusted net operating income was $1 billion, down 35% compared to a year ago, and operating cash flow before working capital changes decreased by 13% to $1.7 billion. This decrease was notably linked to the degraded refining margin environment in the first half and to the weak plant utilization rate of 64%, partially offset by resilient petrochemical margins and very good performance of the trading activities.

Adjusted net operating income from business segments

Adjusted net operating income from the business segments was:

   

$821 million in the second quarter 2020, a decrease of 77% compared to a year ago due to lower Brent prices, natural gas prices and refining margins as well as the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on demand.

   

$3,121 million in the first half 2020, a decrease of 55% year-on-year for the same reasons.

 

  >  

Adjusted net income (Group share)

Adjusted net income (Group share) was:

   

$126 million in the second quarter 2020, compared to $2,887 million a year ago due to lower Brent prices, natural gas prices and refining margins as well as the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on demand.

   

$1,907 million in the first half 2020 for the same reasons.

Adjusted net income excludes the after-tax inventory effect, special items and the impact of effects of changes in fair value9.

Total net income adjustments10 were -$8,495 million in the second quarter 2020, including -$8,101 million for impairments.

The effective tax rate for the Group was -6.8% in the second quarter 2020, compared to 30% in the previous quarter. The negative rate is explained by the adjusted net operating loss in Exploration & Production, which has a high tax rate, and was not offset by the positive results in the Downstream, which has a lower tax rate.

Net cash flow

Net cash flow11 for the Group was:

   

$226 million in the second quarter 2020 compared to $3.3 billion a year ago due to the decrease in operating cash flow before working capital changes in the context of sharply lower oil and gas prices. It remains positive thanks to the decrease in net investments.

   

$0.6 billion in the first half 2020 compared to $6.2 billion year-on-year due to the decrease in operating cash flow before working capital changes of $5.6 billion in the context of sharply lower oil and gas prices.

Summary and outlook

Oil prices strengthened since the beginning of June, reaching around 40 $/b, benefiting from strong compliance with the OPEC+ quotas and the decline of hydrocarbon production in the United States and Canada as well as a recovery in demand.

The oil environment, however, remains volatile, given the uncertainty around the extent and speed of the global economic recovery post-Covid-19.

The Group demonstrates discipline in the implementation of its 2020 action plan:

 

  -

Net investments below $14 billion,

 

  -

Savings of $1 billion on operating costs compared to 2019.

Total will continue to profitably grow in low carbon electricity, particularly in renewables, with close to $2 billion of investments in 2020.

In LNG, Total anticipates significant deferred liftings in the third quarter and expects the decline in oil prices observed in the second quarter to have an impact on long-term LNG contract prices in the second half of the year.

Considering the implementation of the OPEC+ quotas and the situation in Libya, the Group now expects 2020 production to be between 2.9 Mboe/d and 2.95 Mboe/d, with a low point in the third quarter during the summer season. The ramp up of Iara’s second FPSO in Brazil will contribute to production growth in the last part of the year. In the Downstream, high inventory levels continue to weigh on refining margins and utilization rates. In Marketing, activity in Europe returned to 90% of its pre-crisis level since June and the Group anticipates that it will remain at a comparable level in the coming months.

The Group’s priority is to generate a level of cash flow that allows it to continue to invest in profitable projects, to preserve an attractive shareholder return and to maintain a strong balance sheet. To this end, the Group’s teams are focused on the four priorities of HSE, operational excellence, cost reduction and cash flow generation.

This document does not constitute the Financial Report for the first half of 2020 which will be separately published, in accordance with article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Code monétaire et financier, and will be available on the Total website total.com. This press release presents the results for the second quarter and half-year 2020 from the consolidated financial statements of TOTAL SE as of June 30, 2020. It contains information that was privileged until its release. The limited review procedures by the Statutory Auditors are underway. The notes to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited) are available on the Total website total.com.

This document may contain 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 activities and industrial strategy of TOTAL. This document may also contain statements regarding the perspectives, objectives and goals of the Group, including with respect to climate change and carbon neutrality (net zero emissions). An ambition expresses an outcome desired by the Group, it being specified that the means to be deployed do not depend solely on TOTAL. These forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of the future or conditional tense or forward-looking words such as “envisions”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “considers”, “plans”, “expects”, “thinks”, “targets”, “aims” or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements included in this document are based on economic data, estimates and assumptions prepared in a given economic, competitive and regulatory environment and considered to be reasonable by the Group as of the date of this document.

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.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors – The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to separately disclose proved, probable and possible reserves that a company has determined in accordance with SEC rules. We may use certain terms in this press release, such as “potential reserves” or “resources”, that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F/A, File N° 1-10888, available from us at 2, place Jean Millier – Arche Nord Coupole/Regnault - 92078 Paris-La Défense Cedex, France, or at our website total.com.
