Total: Second Quarter and First Half 2016 Results123

Total’s  (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT) Board of Directors met on July 27, 2016, to review the Group’s second quarter accounts. Commenting on the results, Chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné said:

“Although still volatile, the Brent price has recovered since the start of the year and averaged $46 per barrel in the second quarter 2016. Total captured the benefit of this rebound, and adjusted net income rose to $2.2 billion in the second quarter 2016, an increase of 33% compared to the first quarter 2016.
In the Upstream, production increased by more than 5% compared to the second quarter 2015. Obtaining a 30% interest in the Al-Shaheen concession in Qatar for 25 years was a major success, strengthening our presence in the Middle East on a giant field with a long plateau and low technical costs.
In the Downstream, results and cash generation remained strong at the same level compared to the first quarter 2016. The acquisition of retail and logistics assets in East Africa strengthens our position as the leader in Africa for Marketing & Services.
Efforts to reduce operating costs are continuing to bear fruit and we will surpass the $2.4 billion cost reduction target for this year. In the first half, organic investments were $8.7 billion, and are expected to be $18-19 billion for the year.
As part of its ambition to become the responsible energy major, the Group expanded its portfolio with the acquisitions of Saft in the energy storage sector and Lampiris in gas and electricity distribution.
The Group confirms the strength of its balance sheet with a net-debt-to-equity ratio stable at 30% at the end of June 2016.”

* 1Q15 data as republished in 2Q15 following the reclassification in the income statement of certain taxes related to the participation in the ADCO concession. Details on adjustment items are shown in the business segment information annex to financial statements.
** Tax on adjusted net operating income / (adjusted net operating income - income from equity affiliates - dividends received from investments + tax on adjusted net operating income).

Operating cash flow before working capital changes moved in line with the average hydrocarbon price and captured the benefit from cost reductions and production growth:

• in the first half 2016, Upstream operating cash flow before working capital changes was 4,112 M$, a decrease of 31% compared to the first half 2015.

Upstream adjusted net operating income was:

• 1,127 M$ in the second quarter 2016, a decrease of 28% compared to the second quarter 2015, essentially due to the decrease in the average hydrocarbon price, partially offset by the increase in production, decrease in operating costs and lower exploration expenses and taxes;
• 1,625 M$ in the first half 2016, a decrease of 44% compared to the first half 2015, for the same reasons.

Refining & Chemicals

> Refinery throughput and utilization rates*

* Includes share of TotalErg, as well as refineries in Africa and the French Antilles that are reported in the Marketing & Services segment. The condensate splitters at Port Arthur and Daesan are also included and 2015 figures have been restated.
** Based on distillation capacity at the beginning of the year.

Refinery throughput:

• decreased by 10% in the second quarter 2016 compared to the second quarter 2015, due to outages in Europe and the United States;

** Hutchinson and Atotech, Bostik until February 2015.

The Group’s European refining margin indicator (ERMI) remained stable compared to the first quarter 2016 but decreased by 35% compared to last year. The petrochemical environment remained favorable, supported by strong polymer demand.

Refining & Chemicals adjusted net operating income was:

• 1,018 M$ in the second quarter 2016, a decrease of only 25% compared to the second quarter 2015, despite lower refining margins and throughput, thanks to strong operational performance of the Group’s major integrated platforms in Asia and the Middle East.
• 2,146 M$ in the first half 2016, a decrease of 12% compared to the first half 2015.

Marketing & Services

> Petroleum product sales

* Excludes trading and bulk refining sales, includes share of TotalErg.

In the second quarter 2016, petroleum product sales decreased by 2% compared to the second quarter 2015, mainly due to the sale of Totalgaz and the marketing network in Turkey. Excluding this perimeter effect, retail network and land-based lubricant sales increased by 3.5%.

Summary and outlook

The financial performance of the Group over the first half 2016 demonstrates the strength of its integrated model across a range of volatile prices. The Group was resilient in a weak environment at the start of the year and fully captured the benefit of the rebound in prices during the second quarter.

In the Upstream, the start up of Incahuasi in Bolivia and Kashagan in Kazakhstan are expected in the second half of the year, following the first-half start-ups of Laggan-Tormore in the United Kingdom, Vega Pleyade in Argentina and Angola LNG. Production growth is projected to be 4% for the year as a whole, after reaching 4.5% in the first half.

In the Downstream, refining margins were lower at the beginning of the third quarter, due to high inventory levels. Reducing capacity at the Lindsey refinery and ending crude refining at La Mède refinery to convert it to a bio-refinery will be finalized in the second half of the year. The Group’s major integrated platforms are performing well and capturing the benefit of strong petrochemical margins which are supported by polymer demand.

Total maintains strict discipline on costs and investments as part of its strategy to reduce the breakeven. In obtaining an interest in Al-Shaheen, it continues to add high quality, low cost assets to the portfolio.

In addition, the Group continues to actively manage its portfolio by launching the sale process for Atotech, and confirms its objective to generate 2 B$ from net asset sales over the year.

This document does not constitute the Financial Report for the first half of 2016 which will be separately published, in accordance with article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Code monétaire et financier, and is available on the Total website total.com.

This press release presents the results for the second quarter 2016 and the first half 2016 from the consolidated financial statements of TOTAL S.A. as of June 30, 2016. The notes to these consolidated financial statements (unaudited) are available on the TOTAL website 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, 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.

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) and net-debt-to-equity ratio. 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.
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 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.
