OMV delivers resilient nine-month results and consistently implements Strategy 2030
Group Report January–September and Q3 2023 including condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2023
OMV, the integrated energy, fuels & feedstock and chemicals & materials company headquartered in Vienna, Austria, achieved a Clean CCS Operating Result of approximately EUR 4.6 billion in the first nine months of 2023, representing a decline compared to the amount achieved in the extraordinary year of 2022. This year continued to be characterized by the ongoing effects of geopolitical conflicts, economic challenges, and the unfavorable cyclical development of some business areas. This in part led to falling raw material and energy prices, which had a significant impact on profit margins.
OMV CEO, Alfred Stern: “We have delivered a resilient set of earnings - our second highest set of 9-month results since recording - and a steady cash flow to support our growth projects. We have witnessed a normalization of our results in the first nine months of 2023 as commodity prices have fallen from the unsustainably high levels seen in the previous year. Additionally, there has been a softening in the chemicals sector driven by weaker consumer demand. We have continued consistently on our strategic path to deliver on our transformation, including the diversification of gas supply sources ensuring a reliable supply to customers, new SAF contracts with Europe’s leading airlines, and the start-up of the Baystar polyethylene plant in Texas, USA.”
