Changes in consolidated Group – Downstream

On October 29, 2020, OMV acquired an additional 39% share in Borealis AG from Mubadala Investment Company (Abu Dhabi) via the acquisition of 100% shares in Susana Beteiligungsverwaltungs GmbH, increasing its stake in Borealis Group from 36% to 75%. The purchase price of the transaction amounted to  4,551 mn after customary closing adjustments were taken into account.

The acquisition is a strategic extension of OMV´s value chain into high value chemicals. This contributes to a partial natural hedge against the cyclicality of each value chain step with respect to both volumes and market spreads, de-risking OMV’s exposure to volatile markets.

Following the step acquisition, OMV obtained the right to nominate the majority of the executive board members and the most important activities in respect of impacting the variable returns of Borealis Group are decided by OMV. Hence, OMV has obtained control over Borealis Group in line with  10.

Obtaining control over Borealis Group has led to the discontinuation of the use of the equity method according to  28 and application of the rules for business combination according to IFRS 3. OMV´s previous 36% interest in Borealis was re-measured at the acquisition date fair value resulting in  1,256 mn gain recognized in other operating income. Additionally, this led to a reclassification of net gains from other comprehensive income to other operating income in amount of EUR 28 mn, which were mainly related to currency translation differences.

The non-controlling interest in Borealis Group was measured at its proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable . The transaction did not result in a goodwill. The fair value of the receivables substantially matched their carrying amount, and all contractual cash flows less credit loss effects are expected to be collected.
