Interim dividend for 3Q13 of 0.59 €/share payable in March 20144

Commenting on the results, Chairman and CEO Christophe de Margerie said :

« With adjusted net income of 2.7 billion euros, Total reports solid third quarter performance, slightly better than the second quarter, and a stronger financial position.

In the Upstream, significant progress was made in the quarter with the start-up of Kashagan in Kazahkstan, of Ekofisk South in Norway and the launch of major projects, including the Fort Hills mining project in Canada that will contribute to our growth for several decades. In addition, by seizing a unique opportunity to take a share of the most prolific pre-salt discovery in the world, Total starts a new chapter of its story in Brazil as part of the consortium in charge of developing the giant Libra field. So, the Group is improving its outlook for sustainable post-2017 production growth under terms consistent with its strict return criteria, while confirming its commitment to reduce near-term investment.

In the downstream segments, the quality of the results this quarter, given the poor environment for refining, clearly shows the effectiveness of the ongoing restructuring program. The successful start-up of the first units of the Satorp refinery in Saudi Arabia illustrates the capacity of the Group and its teams to progress in a responsible and sustainable manner in the fulfillment of its objectives. »

In the third quarter 2013, adjusted net operating income from the Upstream segment was 2,329 M€ compared to 2,897 M€ in the third quarter 2012, a decrease of 20%. Expressed in dollars, adjusted net operating income decreased by 15%, mainly due to an unfavorable production mix and higher exploration charges in line with the more active drilling program.

The effective tax rate for the Upstream segment was 60.1% compared to 58.8% in the third quarter 2012.

In the first nine months of 2013, adjusted net operating income from the Upstream segment was 7,120 M€ compared to 8,459 M€ in the first nine months of 2012, a decrease of 16%. Expressed in dollars, adjusted net operating income was 9,378 M$, or a decrease of 13% explained principally by an unfavorable production mix, higher exploration charges and a decrease in average realized hydrocarbon prices between the two periods.

The return on average capital employed (ROACE23) for the Upstream segment was 15% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 16% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013.

In the third quarter 2013, refinery throughput decreased by 2% compared to the third quarter 2012. The decrease was mainly due to the start of a scheduled turnaround at Lindsey and maintenance at several of the Group’s refineries during the third quarter 2013, as well as the closure of the Rome refinery at the end of the third quarter 2012. In addition, there were voluntary throughput reductions at the end third quarter 2013 due to the weakness of the margins.

In the first nine months of 2013, refinery throughput decreased by 4% compared to the first nine months of 2012, reflecting essentially the scheduled turnaround at the Antwerp platform in 2013, increased maintenance at Donges, as well as the closure of the Rome refinery at the end of the third quarter 2012.

** Hutchinson, Bostik, Atotech.

The European refining margin indicator (ERMI) averaged 10.6 $/t in the third quarter, a decrease of 79% compared to the third quarter 2012. Petrochemical margins improved globally (Europe, United States, Asia) compared to the same period last year, reflecting the impact of lower raw material prices, naphtha in Europe and Asia, ethane and LPG in the United States.

In the third quarter 2013, adjusted net operating income from the Refining & Chemicals segment was 330 M€ compared to 567 M€ in the third quarter 2012. Expressed in dollars, adjusted net operating income was 437 M$, a decrease of 38% compared to the third quarter 2012. Implementing operational efficiencies and synergies as well as a more favorable petrochemicals environment partially offset the sharp decrease in European refining margins.

As part of its downstream strategy, the Group announced in the third quarter 2013 a project to adapt and modernize its Carling petrochemicals platform and restore its competitiveness. In addition, the integrated Satorp platform in Saudi Arabia shipped its initial cargoes of refined products after successfully starting up the first units of the refinery.

In the first nine months of 2013, adjusted net operating income from the Refining & Chemicals segment was 1,083 M€, an increase of 7% compared to the first nine months of 2012. Expressed in dollars, adjusted net operating income was 1,426 M$, an increase of 10% compared to the first nine months of 2012, despite the sharply lower refining margins (a decrease of 44% compared to the first nine months 2012). The increase was due partly to the more favorable petrochemicals environment and partly to the effectiveness of the Group’s planned synergies and operational efficiency programs. The Specialty Chemicals performed well despite a less favorable environment in Europe.

The ROACE24 for the Refining & Chemicals segment for the twelve months ended September 30, 2013, was 9% compared to 11% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013.

In the third quarter 2013, sales increased by 2% compared to the third quarter last year. This increase was driven by sales in the Americas, Africa and Asia.

In the first nine months of 2013, sales volumes increased by 2% compared to the first nine months of 2012, mainly due to net increases in sales in the Americas, Africa and Asia. Sales in Europe declined by 3%, with a marked decrease in Italy that was related directly to the closure of the Rome refinery.

Marketing & Services sales were 21.1 B€, a decrease of 2% compared to the third quarter 2012.

In the third quarter 2013, adjusted net operating income from the Marketing & Services segment was 330 M€ an increase of 35% compared to the third quarter 2012, mainly due to higher margins and volumes, particularly in the lubricants and retail network.

In the first nine months of 2013, adjusted net operating income from the Marketing & Services segment was 925 M€, an increase of 64% compared to the first nine months of 2012. The increase was due mainly to the improved performance of New Energies, which had a significant net loss for the first nine months of 2012, as well as overall improvements for marketing of refined products, particularly in emerging markets.

The ROACE25 for the Marketing & Services segment for the twelve months ended September 30, 2013, was 17% compared to 14% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013.

  • Summary and outlook

The ROACE26 for the Group for the twelve months ended was 14% compared to 15% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013.

Return on equity for the twelve months ended September 30, 2013, was 16%.

With the recent launch and start-up of several projects, Total is progressing toward its objectives for 2015-2017, while laying the foundation for longer term growth.

In the Upstream, after launching the major Fort Hills mining project in Canada, the Group is continuing to evaluate the Kaombo project in Angola and the Yamal LNG project in Russia.

In the downstream, the progressive start-up of the Satorp platform in Jubail, Saudi Arabia should be achieved in early 2014.

Following the sale of TIGF in France, the Group is continuing to actively manage and optimize its asset portfolio to achieve its 2012-14 objective of selling 15-20 B$ of assets.

While the Brent price has remained robust since the start of the fourth quarter, refining margins in Europe weakened to very low levels and the environment for petrochemicals appears less favorable than in the third quarter, due to seasonally lower demand.

As approved by the Board of Directors on October 30, 2013, Total will pay a third quarter 2013 interim dividend of 0.59 €/share on March 27, 2014.

This press release presents the third quarter and first nine months 2013 results from the consolidated financial statements of TOTAL S.A. as of September 30, 2013. The notes to these consolidated financial statements are available on the TOTAL website www.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 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. 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. 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, 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, excluding the effect of changes in fair value.

Dollar amounts presented herein represent euro amounts converted at the average euro-dollar exchange rate for the applicable period and are not the result of financial statements prepared in dollars.
