decreased by 29% to  16,550 mn, driven by the overall lower global commodity price environment and fallen sales volumes for most products, mainly caused by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and partially compensated by higher natural gas sales volumes in the Downstream segment. The declined considerably from EUR 3,536 mn in 2019 to EUR 1,686 mn. The contribution from Upstream amounted to EUR 145 mn (2019: EUR 1,951 mn). In Downstream, the clean Operating Result stood at EUR 1,514 mn (2019:  1,677 mn). The clean CCS Group tax rate in 2020 was 32% (2019: 38%), reflecting the lower contribution from Upstream, in particular from countries with high tax regimes. The clean CCS went down to EUR 1,026 mn (2019: EUR 2,121 mn). The amounted to EUR 679 mn (2019: EUR 1,624 mn). were EUR 2.08 (2019: EUR 4.97).

Net of EUR (220) were recorded in 2020 (2019: EUR (64) mn). In Upstream, net special items in 2020 amounted to EUR (1,282) mn (2019: EUR (71) mn) and were mainly related to the impairments triggered by OMV’s revision of its long-term price assumptions for Brent crude oil. The Downstream net special items amounting to EUR 1,071 mn in 2020 (2019: EUR 31 mn) mainly included a step-up in the valuation of the previously owned 36% share in Borealis. In Corporate and Other, net special items amounted to EUR (9) mn in 2020 (2019: EUR (24) mn). CCS effects of EUR (416) (2019: EUR 110 mn) were recognized in 2020.

The OMV Group’s reported Operating Result decreased substantially to EUR 1,050 mn (2019: EUR 3,582 mn). The net financial result decreased to EUR (175) mn (2019: EUR (129) mn). The Group tax rate was significantly affected by income coming from tax synergies from the acquisition of additional shares in Borealis that led to a write-up of deferred tax assets in the Austrian tax group (among other effects). Net income thus amounted to EUR 1,478 mn (2019: EUR 2,147 mn). The net income attributable to stockholders was EUR 1,258 mn compared to EUR 1,678 mn in 2019. Earnings Per Share decreased to EUR 3.85 compared to EUR 5.14 in 2019.

Clean CCS Operating Result
Operating Result adjusted for special items and CCS effects. Group clean CCS Operating Result is calculated by adding the clean CCS Operating Result of Downstream Oil, the clean Operating Result of theother segments and the reported consolidation effect adjusted for changes in valuation allowances, in case the net realizable value of the inventory is lower than ist cost
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
