Financial Review of the Year

Consolidated sales increased by 2% to  23,461 . Higher Upstream sales volumes, following OMV’s acquisitions in New Zealand, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates, were partially offset by unfavorable market environment developments. The clean Operating Result slightly decreased from EUR 3,646 mn in 2018 to EUR 3,536 mn. The Upstream result went down to EUR 1,951 mn (2018: EUR 2,027 mn), whereas in Downstream the clean CCS Operating Result slightly rose from EUR 1,643 mn to  1,677 in 2019. In 2019, the clean Group tax rate was 38% (2018: 39%). The clean CCS was nearly flat at EUR 2,121 mn (2018: EUR 2,108 mn). The clean CCS net income attributable to stockholders amounted to EUR 1,624 mn (2018: EUR 1,594 mn). The were EUR 4.97 (2018: EUR 4.88).

Net of EUR (64) mn were recorded in 2019 (2018: EUR (149) mn). In Upstream, net special items in 2019 amounted to EUR (71) mn (2018: EUR 95 mn). In 2019, net special items were mainly related to the re-evaluation of the redetermination payment in the Yuzhno Russkoye field (EUR (58) mn) and the negative impact triggered by the reclassification of marginal fields in Romania to held for sale following a divestment process (EUR (46) mn), partially offset by temporary hedging effects of EUR 53 mn.

In Downstream, net special items amounted to EUR 31 mn (2018: EUR (219) mn) and were mainly related to temporary hedging effects (EUR 135 mn), largely offset by environmental provisions at OMV Petrom in the amount of EUR (43) mn and impairments of assets of EUR (30) mn.

In Corporate and Other, net special items amounted to EUR (24) mn in 2019 (2018: EUR (26) mn). Positive CCS effects of EUR 110 mn (2018: EUR 27 mn) were recognized in 2019.

CCS/CCS effects/inventory holding gains/(losses)
Current Cost of Supply; inventory holding gains and losses represent the difference between the cost of sales calculated using the current cost of supply and the cost of sales calculated using the weighted average method after adjusting for any changes in valuation allowances in case the net realizable value of the inventory is lower than its cost. In volatile energy markets, measurement of the costs of petroleum products sold based on historical values (e.g. weighted average cost) can have distorting effects on reported results (Operating Result, net income, etc.). The amount disclosed as CCS effect represents the difference between the charge to the income statement for inventory on a weighted average basis (adjusted for the change in valuation allowances related to net realizable value) and the charge based on the current cost of supply. The current cost of supply is calculated monthly using data from supply and production systems at the Downstream Oil level
