B. ANALYSIS OF BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

 

The financial information for each business segment is reported on the same basis as that used internally by the chief operating decision-maker in assessing segment performance and the allocation of segment resources. Due to their particular nature or significance, certain transactions qualifying as “special items” are excluded from the business segment figures. In general, special items relate to transactions that are significant, infrequent or unusual. In certain instances, certain transactions such as restructuring costs or asset disposals, which are not considered to be representative of the normal course of business, may qualify as special items although they may have occurred in prior years or are likely to recur in following years.

 

In accordance with IAS 2, the Group values inventories of petroleum products in its financial statements according to the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method and other inventories using the weighted-average cost method. Under the FIFO method, the cost of inventory is based on the historic cost of acquisition or manufacture rather than the current replacement cost. In volatile energy markets, this can have a significant distorting effect on the reported income. Accordingly, the adjusted results of the Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments are presented according to the replacement cost method in order to facilitate the comparability of the Group’s results with those

1

of its competitors and to help illustrate the operating performance of these segments excluding the impact of oil price changes on the replacement of inventories. In the replacement cost method, which approximates the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) 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 differential between one period and another or the average prices of the period. The inventory valuation effect is the difference between the results under the FIFO and replacement cost methods.

 

The effect of changes in fair value presented as an adjustment item reflects, for trading inventories and storage contracts, differences between internal measures of performance used by TOTAL’s management and the accounting for these transactions under IFRS, which 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 recorded at their fair value based on forward prices. Furthermore, TOTAL, in its trading activities, enters into storage contracts, the future effects of which are recorded at fair value in the Group’s internal economic performance. IFRS, by requiring accounting for storage contracts on an accrual basis, precludes recognition of this fair value effect.

 

The adjusted business segment results (adjusted operating income and adjusted net operating income) are defined as replacement cost results, adjusted for special items, excluding the effect of changes in fair value. For further information on the adjustments affecting operating income on a segment-by-segment basis, and for a reconciliation of segment figures to figures reported in TOTAL’s interim consolidated financial statements, see pages 19-22 and 34-37 of this exhibit.

 

The Group measures performance at the segment level on the basis of adjusted net operating income. Net operating income comprises operating income of the relevant segment after deducting the amortization and the depreciation of intangible assets other than leasehold rights, translation adjustments and gains or losses on the sale of assets, as well as all other income and expenses related to capital employed (dividends from non-consolidated companies, income from equity affiliates and capitalized interest expenses) and after income taxes applicable to the above. The income and expenses not included in net operating income that are included in net income are interest expenses related to long-term liabilities net of interest earned on cash and cash equivalents, after applicable income taxes (net cost of net debt and non-controlling interests). Adjusted net operating income excludes the effect of the adjustments (special items and the inventory valuation effect) described above.

 

As of January 1, 2018, the reporting of the cash flow from operations at the segment level changed due to the transfer of financial charges to the Corporate segment. The Corporate segment includes the Group’s holdings operating and financial activities. As a result of this change in reporting, the 2017 comparative information have been restated at the segment level.

Average hydrocarbons price ($/boe)   47.3   43.3   37.9   +25%  

 

 

  (*) Consolidated subsidiaries, excluding fixed margins.

 

The average liquids differential deteriorated by $2/b due mainly to very weak prices achieved for bitumen production in Canada where production increased significantly with the startup of Fort Hills.

Hydrocarbon production was 2,703 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (kboe/d) in the first quarter 2018, an increase of more than 5% compared to 2017, due to the following:

 

  +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(1), natural field decline and production quotas.

  (**) Detail of adjustment items shown in the business segment information starting on page 19 of this exhibit.

 

Exploration & Production segment’s adjusted net operating income was $2,183 million in the first quarter 2018, an increase of close to 60% compared to the first quarter 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.

 

Adjusted net operating income for the Exploration & Production segment excludes special items, as further detailed on page 27 of this exhibit. In the first quarter 2018, the exclusion of special items had a positive impact on the segment’s adjusted net operating income of $96 million, compared to a positive impact of $1,735 million in the first quarter 2017.

 

The segment’s cash flow from operating activities excluding financial charges was $3,569 million in the first quarter 2018, an increase of 27% compared to $2,801 million in the first quarter 2017. In the first quarter 2018, operating cash flow excluding the change in working capital at replacement cost and without financial charges was $4,265 million(2), an increase of 28% compared to $3,336 million in the first quarter 2017 due to the same factors explaining the increase in the segment’s adjusted net operating income. The segment generated $2.2 billion of cash flow after organic investments in the first quarter 2018.

 

 

(1)  The “price effect” refers to the impact of changing hydrocarbon prices on entitlement volumes from production sharing and buyback contracts. For example, as the price of oil or gas increases above certain pre-determined levels, TOTAL’s share of production normally decreases.
(2)  Operating cash flow excluding the change in working capital at replacement cost provides information on underlying cash flow without the short-term impacts of changes in inventory and other working capital elements at replacement cost. For information on the replacement cost method, refer to the introduction to “B. Analysis of business segment results”, above.

The Group’s European refining margin indicator (“ERMI”) decreased by 34% to $25.6/t on average in the first quarter 2018, mainly due to an increase in oil prices and reduced seasonal demand, compared to $38.9/t in the first quarter 2017.

 

In this context, adjusted net operating income from the Refining & Chemicals segment was $720 million in the first quarter 2018, a decrease of 30% compared to the first quarter 2017.

 

Adjusted net operating income for the Refining & Chemicals segment excludes any after-tax inventory valuation effect and special items. In the first quarter 2018, the exclusion of the inventory valuation effect had a positive impact on the segment’s adjusted net operating income of $23 million compared to a negative impact of $58 million in the first quarter 2017. The exclusion of special items in the first quarter 2018 had a positive impact on the segment’s adjusted net operating income of $17 million, compared to a negative impact of $2,070 million in the first quarter 2017, consisting essentially of the gain on the sale of Atotech.

 

The segment’s cash flow from operating activities excluding financial charges was $(1,109) million in the first quarter 2018 compared to $1,762 million in the first quarter 2017. In the first quarter 2018, operating cash flow excluding the change in working capital at replacement cost and without financial charges was $920 million, a decrease of 11% compared to $1,031 million in the first quarter 2017.

Adjusted net operating income was $367 million in the first quarter 2018, an increase of 22% compared to the first quarter 2017. Volume growth allowed the Group to take full advantage of consistently good margins.

 

Adjusted net operating income for the Marketing & Services segment excludes any after-tax inventory valuation effect and special items. In the first quarter 2018, the exclusion of the inventory valuation effect had a positive impact on the segment’s adjusted net operating income of $27 million compared to a positive impact of $5 million in the first quarter 2017. The exclusion of special items in the first quarter 2018 had no impact on the segment’s adjusted net operating income, similar to the first quarter 2017.

 

The segment’s cash flow from operating activities excluding financial charges was $(60) million in the first quarter 2018 compared to $331 million in the first quarter 2017. In the first quarter 2018, operating cash flow excluding the change in working capital at replacement cost and without financial charges was $430 million, compared to $429 million in the first quarter 2017.

 

C. GROUP RESULTS

 

  Net income (Group share)

 

Net income (Group share) in the first quarter 2018 was $2,636 million compared to $2,849 million in the first quarter 2017, a decrease of 7.5%.

 

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

 

Total adjustments affecting net income (Group share) were $(248) million in the first quarter 2018(1).

 

Adjusted net income (Group share) was $2,884 million in the first quarter 2018, an increase of 13% compared to the first quarter 2017. The increase was due to the performance of the segments which increased by 22%. The net cost of the net debt increased compared to last year, mainly due to the increase in dollar interest rates.

 

The number of fully-diluted shares was 2,632 million on March 31, 2018, compared to 2,458 million on March 31, 2017.

 

Following the February 2018 announcements made in the fourth quarter 2017 earnings results and the February 8, 2018 press release about shareholder return and the Group’s growth strategy, 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 million to return to shareholders some benefit resulting from higher oil prices .

 

  Divestments — acquisitions

 

Asset sales completed in the first quarter 2018 were $2,169 million, 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, compared to $2,711 million in the first quarter 2017 essentially comprised of the sale of Atotech.

 

Acquisitions completed in the first quarter 2018 were $3,688 million, 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, compared to $547 million in the first quarter 2017.

 

  Cash flow

 

The Group’s cash flow from operating activities was $2,081 million in the first quarter 2018, a decrease of 56% compared to $4,701 million in the first quarter 2017. The change in working capital at replacement cost for the first quarter 2018, which is the (increase)/decrease in working capital of $(3,222) million as determined in accordance with IFRS adjusted for the pre-tax inventory valuation effect of $(67) million, was $(3,289) million, compared to $(14) million in the first quarter 2017. In the first quarter 2018, operating cash flow excluding the change in working capital at replacement cost was $5,370 million, an increase of 15% compared to $4,687 million in the first quarter 2017. In the first quarter 2018, operating cash flow excluding the change in working capital at replacement cost and without financial charges was $5,668 million, an increase of 16% compared to $4,902 million in the first quarter 2017. The Group’s net cash flow(1) was $1,231 million in the first quarter 2018, compared to $3,907 million in the first quarter 2017. The 15% increase in operating cash flow before working capital changes funded net investments, which increased by almost $3.4 billion essentially linked to the significant acquisitions mentioned above closed in the first quarter 2018 ($3.7 billion).

Actual results could vary significantly from estimates based on the application of these sensitivities. The impact of the $-€ sensitivity on adjusted net operating income is essentially attributable to Refining & Chemicals.

F. 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.

7

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

FOR THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 2018

 

(unaudited)

 

 

 

1) Accounting policies

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and IFRS as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

The interim consolidated financial statements of TOTAL S.A. and its subsidiaries (the Group) as of March 31, 2018, are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

 

The accounting principles applied for the consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2018, are consistent with those used for the financial statements at December 31, 2017, with the exception of those texts or amendments that must be applied for periods beginning January 1, 2018.

 

- First-time application of IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

The Group applied IFRS 15 as of January 1, 2018, without restating comparative information from past periods. The cumulative effect of the first application of the standard, recognized in equity as at January 1, 2018, is non-material.

The new standard does not lead to any material change in the accounting principles applied by the Group.

 

- First time application of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

The Group applied IFRS 9 as of January 1, 2018 without restating comparative information from past periods. The impacts related to the first application of the standard, recognized in opening equity at January 1, 2018, are not material.

 

This standard has three components: classification and measurement of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets, and hedging transactions except macro hedging

 

The main changes induced by each component are the following:

 

1. The application of the “Classification and valuation of financial instruments” component led the Group to create a new non-recyclable component in its comprehensive income to record, from January 1, 2018, changes in the fair value of “Investments in equity instruments at the fair value through equity” previously classified as “Available-for-sale financial assets “under IAS 39.

 

2. The application of the “Impairment of financial assets” component has no significant impact for the Group on January 1, 2018.

 

3. The application of the “Hedging transactions” component led the Group to recognize in a separate component of the comprehensive income the changes in the Foreign Currency Basis Spread identified in the hedging relationships qualifying as a fair value hedge.

 

The application of the provisions of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” has no significant effect on the Group’s balance sheet, income statement and consolidated equity as of March 31, 2018.

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS for the closing as of March 31, 2018, requires the executive management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the information reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto.

 

These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and other factors believed to be reasonable at the date of preparation of the financial statements. They are reviewed on an on-going basis by management and therefore could be revised as circumstances change or as a result of new information.

23

Different estimates, assumptions and judgments could significantly affect the information reported, and actual results may differ from the amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto.

 

The main estimates, judgments and assumptions relate to the estimation of hydrocarbon reserves in application of the successful efforts method for the oil and gas activities, the impairment of assets, the employee benefits, the asset retirement obligations and the income taxes. These estimates and assumptions are described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2017.

 

Furthermore, when the accounting treatment of a specific transaction is not addressed by any accounting standard or interpretation, the management applies its judgment to define and apply accounting policies that provide information consistent with the general IFRS concepts: faithful representation, relevance and materiality.

 

2) Changes in the Group structure

3) Adjustment items

 

Description of the business segments

 

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 and which is reviewed by the main operational decision-making body of the Group, namely the Executive Committee.

 

The operational profit and assets are broken down by business segment prior to the consolidation and inter-segment adjustments.

 

Sales prices between business segments approximate market prices.

 

The organization of the Group’s activities is structured around the four followings segments:

 

-An Exploration & Production segment;

 

-A Gas, Renewables & Power segment including downstream Gas activities, New Energies activities (excluding biotechnologies) and Energy Efficiency division;

 

-A Refining & Chemicals segment constituting a major industrial hub comprising the activities of refining, petrochemicals and specialty chemicals. This segment also includes the activities of oil Supply, Trading and marine Shipping;

 

-A Marketing & Services segment including the global activities of supply and marketing in the field of petroleum products;

 

In addition the Corporate segment includes holdings operating and financial activities.

26

Adjustment items

 

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.

 

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 assets 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)The 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 prices differential 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 adjustment items reflects for some transactions differences between internal measure 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 and the effect of changes in fair value.

 

The detail of the adjustment items is presented in the table below.

The number of shares issued in lieu of the cash dividend was based on the dividend amount divided by €46.55 per share, equal to the average Euronext Paris opening price of the shares for the 20 trading days preceding the Board of Directors meeting, reduced by the amount of the second interim dividend, without any discount. On January 11, 2018, 7,087,904 shares have been issued at a price of €46.55 per share.

7) Other risks and contingent liabilities

 

TOTAL is not currently aware of any exceptional event, dispute, risks or contingent liabilities that could have a material impact on the assets and liabilities, results, financial position or operations of the Group.

 

Alitalia

 

In the Marketing & Services segment, a civil proceeding was initiated in Italy, in 2013, against TOTAL S.A. and its subsidiary Total Aviazione Italia Srl before the competent Italian civil court. The plaintiff claims against TOTAL S.A., its subsidiary and other third parties, damages that it estimates to be nearly €908 million. This proceeding follows practices that had been condemned by the Italian competition authority in 2006. The parties have exchanged preliminary findings and a request for an expert opinion has been approved by the court. The existence and the assessment of the alleged damages in this procedure involving multiple defendants remain contested.

 

FERC

 

The Office of Enforcement of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) began in 2015 an investigation in connection with the natural gas trading activities in the United States of Total Gas & Power North America, Inc. (TGPNA), a U.S. subsidiary of the Group. The investigation covered transactions made by TGPNA between June 2009 and June 2012 on the natural gas market. TGPNA received a Notice of Alleged Violations from FERC on September 21, 2015. On April 28, 2016, FERC issued an order to show cause to TGPNA and two of its former employees, and to TOTAL S.A. and Total Gas & Power Ltd., regarding the same facts. TGPNA contests the claims brought against it.

 

A class action has been launched to seek damages from these three companies and was dismissed by a judgment of the U.S. District court of New York issued on March 15, 2017. The claimants appealed this judgment.

 

Yemen

 

Due to the security conditions in the vicinity of Balhaf, Yemen LNG, in which the Group holds a stake of 39.62%, stopped its commercial production and export of LNG in April 2015, when it declared Force Majeure to its various stakeholders. The plant is in a preservation mode.
