Paris, October 27, 2017 - Total’s Board of Directors met on October 26, 2017, to review the Group’s accounts for the third quarter and first nine months 2017. Commenting on the results, Chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanné said:
“Total reported adjusted net income of $2.7 billion this quarter, a 29% increase compared to a year ago while the Brent price increased by 14%. This solid performance was also reflected in a return on equity of close to 10% and strong cash flow generation: excluding acquisitions-divestments, the Group generated $2.1 billion of cash flow after investments in the third quarter 2017 and $5.2 billion in the first nine months. The Group took full advantage of the favorable environment thanks to the performance of its integrated model and its strategy to reduce its breakeven point.
Adjusted net operating income from Exploration & Production increased by 84% compared to last year, benefiting notably from a 6% increase in production. Total continues to capitalize on its strengths: the Group took over as the operator of the giant 300 kb/dAl-Shaheen field in Qatar and announced the acquisition of Maersk Oil, which will strengthen its position in the North Sea and generate strong synergies.
The Downstream benefited from favorable refining margins and increased its results by 18% compared to the second quarter, despite the impact of Hurricane Harvey on its American operations, and generated more than $5.1 billion in cash flow in the first nine months, in line with the target for the year. Marketing & Services has announced its entry into the distribution sector in Mexico, the second-largest market in Latin America.
Investment discipline continues. Organic investments were $3.1 billion in the third quarter 2017 and $10.0 billion in the first nine months, in line with the target of $14 billion this year, and cost reduction will be more than $3.6 billion, surpassing the target for the year.
With operating cash flow before working capital changes of $15 billion in the first nine months of 2017, an increase of $3 billion over last year, the Group continues to strengthen its balance sheet, with anet-debt-to-equity ratio below 20%. This allows the implementation of the strategy for profitable growth, taking advantage of the low cost environment, notably by launching high-return projects.”

The Group’s European refining margin indicator (ERMI) increased sharply to 48.2 $/t in the third quarter 2017, due to elevated petroleum product demand in the face of limited supply resulting from numerous shutdowns due in part to Hurricane Harvey. Petrochemicals continued to benefit from a favorable environment albeit down compared to a year ago.
Refining & Chemicals benefited from the favorable environment, despite the impact of Hurricane Harvey on its American operations, and operating cash flow before working capital changes was 1,218 M$ in the third quarter 2017, an increase of 16% compared to the third quarter 2016.
Refining & Chemicals adjusted net operating income was:
| • | | 1,020 M$ in the third quarter 2017, an increase of 11% compared to the third quarter 2016 despite the sale of Atotech; and |
| • | | 2,904 M$ in the first nine months 2017, a decrease of 5% compared to the first nine months 2016, notably due to the impact of Hurricane Harvey and the sale of Atotech in early 2017. |

Group results
| > | Adjusted net operating income from business segments |
Adjusted net operating income from the business segments was:
| • | | 3,062 M$ in the third quarter 2017, an increase of 31% compared to the third quarter 2016, mainly due to the 84% increase in contribution from Exploration & Production which benefited from new projects ramp ups and higher prices; |
| • | | 8,577 M$ in the first nine months 2017, an increase of 27% compared to the first nine months 2016 for the same reasons above. |
| > | Adjusted net income (Group share) |
Adjusted net income was 2,674 M$ in the third quarter 2017, an increase of 29% compared to the third quarter 2016, and 7,706 M$ in the first nine months 2017, an increase of 31% compared to the first nine months 2016.
The increase was the result of a higher contribution from Exploration & Production and the ongoing decrease in the Group’s breakeven.
Adjusted net income excludes theafter-tax inventory effect, special items and the impact of changes in fair value13.

| • | | -96 M$ in the first nine months 2017, including mainly an impairment of the Fort Hill project in Canada related to a cost increase and a gain on the sale of Atotech. |
The effective tax rate15 for the business segments was:
| • | | 32.6% in the third quarter 2017 compared to 21.5% in the third quarter 2016, mainly due to the higher effective tax rate for the Exploration & Production segment in the context of higher hydrocarbon prices and the larger share of Exploration & Production in the Group’s quarterly results; |
| • | | 30.9% in the first nine months 2017 compared to 22.0% in the first nine months 2016, for the same reasons above. |
| > | Adjusted fully-diluted earnings per share |

| • | | $1.04 in the third quarter 2017, calculated on the basis of 2,505 million fully-diluted weighted-average shares, a 23% increase from $0.84 in the third quarter 2016; |
| • | | $3.02 in the first nine months 2017, calculated on the basis of 2,480 million fully-diluted weighted-average shares, a 25% increase from $2.42 in the first nine months 2016. |

Acquisitions were:
| • | | 513 M$ in the third quarter 2017, essentially comprised of the bonus related to the certification of resources forElk-Antelope in Papua New Guinea; and |
| • | | 1,163 M$ in the first nine months 2017, essentially comprised of the bonus related to the certification of resources forElk-Antelope, a 23% equity share in Tellurian, and a marketing and logistics network in East Africa. |
The Group’s net cash flow16 was:
| • | | 1,786 M$ in the third quarter 2017 compared to-594 M$ in the third quarter 2016, mainly due to the decrease in net investments and the increase in operating cash flow before working capital changes; |
| • | | 7,182 M$ in the first nine months 2017 compared to-599 M$ in the first nine months 2016, mainly due to the nearly 3 B$ increase in operating cash flow before working capital changes, the decrease in organic investments and the sale of Atotech. |
Return on equity for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, was 9.7%17, an increase compared to last year.

Summary and outlook
The imbalance between supply and demand has decreased in recent months, and Brent rose above 55 $/b. Markets however should remain volatile given the uncertainties in supply, and inventories, while falling, remain high. In this context, the Group continues to reduce its breakeven point by reducing its operating costs with a target of 5 B$ in savings by 2020 and increasing production by 5% per year until 2022.
In the Upstream, annual production growth should be approximately 5% in 2017, notably supported by thestart-up of the giant Al Shaheen oil field in Qatar, and the ongoingramp-up of Kashagan in Kazakhstan and Moho Nord in the Republic of the Congo. Yamal LNG in Russia is expected to begin producing byyear-end. Finally, the acquisition of Maersk Oil is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2018.
In the Downstream, refining margins are above 40 $/t at the beginning of the fourth quarter and the petrochemicals environment remains favorable. The Downstream is in line with its goal to generate approximately 7 B$ of operating cash flow before working capital changes in 2017, having generated more than 5.1 B$ in the first nine months.
Thepre-dividend organic breakeven for the Group (excluding acquisitions-divestments) will be below 30 $/b in 2017 and should continue to fall to 20 $/b in 2019.

This press release presents the results for the third quarter 2017 and the first nine months 2017 from the consolidated financial statements of TOTAL S.A. as of September 30, 2017 (unaudited). The notes to these consolidated financial statements (unaudited) are available on the TOTAL website 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, the French language version of which is filed by the Company with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers and annual report on Form20-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 themonth-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 usingperiod-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, whose 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.
Euro amounts presented herein represent dollar amounts converted at the average euro-dollar (€-$) exchange rate for the applicable period and are not the result of financial statements prepared in euros.
