quaterly report/OMV/Oil/Gas

26.02.2008

- Record financial performance in 2007: Clean EBIT increased by 5% to
EUR 2,377 mn; clean net income up by 8% to EUR 1,649 mn; dividend to
be increased by 19% to EUR 1.25 per share - Clean EBIT for Q4/07 of
EUR 688 mn up 23% versus Q4/06; Petrom contributed EUR 237 mn, up
23%; Q4 clean net income at EUR 408 mn, down 1% on Q4/06 due to
exceptionally high effective tax rate of 31%; clean EPS of EUR 1.37,
down 1%; reported EPS up 8% to EUR 1.07 - Outlook 2008: We again
expect to deliver robust earnings, supported by new field
developments in the upstream, benefits of optimization programs in
the downstream, further expansion of the international gas business
and the gas logistics business and continued modernization at Petrom

Fourth quarter 2007 (Q4/07)

In Q4/07, OMV again experienced a favorable crude price environment.
Brent continued to rise, exceeding last year's level by 48% on
average, but the weaker USD burdened the upstream business. Refining
margins recovered after the weak Q3/07 and exceeded Q4/06. The
Group's EBIT of EUR 492 mn was 25% above the level of Q4/06. The EBIT
contribution of Petrom was EUR 74 mn. Net income from associated
companies fell behind Q4/06 reflecting the reduced Borealis at equity
result due to a weaker margin environment. Net income after
minorities of EUR 318 mn was 8% above last year's level. Clean EBIT
rose by 23% to EUR 688 mn after excluding mainly net special charges
for personnel costs, unscheduled depreciation, impairments and
provisions for litigation in Romania. Petrom's clean EBIT
contribution increased by 23% to EUR 237 mn. Clean net income after
minorities was EUR 408 mn and clean EPS after minorities were EUR
1.37, 1% down on Q4/06.

In Exploration and Production (E&P), clean EBIT increased by 34%
compared to Q4/06 despite the negative impact of USD exchange rates,
reflecting the favorable oil price environment and strong lifting
activities. The Group's oil and gas production was 2% below Q4/06 at
323,000 boe/d, mainly due to lower volumes in Romania and the UK,
which were not fully compensated by higher volumes in New Zealand,
Yemen and Austria.

In Refining and Marketing (R&M), clean EBIT was EUR (9) mn,
substantially below the EUR 40 mn of Q4/06. The negative impact of
two major refinery shutdowns (Burghausen and Petrobrazi) and weak
petrochemical and marketing margins could not be offset by positive
inventory effects. The high oil price had a negative effect on the
costs of the own energy consumption.

In Gas, clean EBIT was up by 61%, mainly due to the strong
contribution of EconGas and also supported by Petrom and the strong
logistics business. In addition to the good results at the storage
business and increased transport capacity sold, Baumgarten-Oberkappel
Gasleitungsgesellschaft m.b.H. was included for the first time in the
consolidated result.

January - December 2007

The Brent price in USD in 2007 was 11% higher than last year.
Overall, the Group generated the fifth record financial performance
in a row, with EBIT and net income clearly above last year's levels.
The Group's EBIT of EUR 2,184 mn was 6% above the level of 2006; the
EBIT contribution of Petrom amounted to EUR 581 mn, a decline by 14%
compared to 2006. The increase in net income from associated
companies reflects the good performance of Borealis and the inclusion
of the stake in Petrol Ofisi. Net income after minorities of EUR
1,579 mn was 14% above last year's level. Clean EBIT was 5% above
last year's level, at EUR 2,377 mn after excluding net special
charges relating to personnel costs, unscheduled depreciation and
retail network optimisation, litigation provisions and special income
from asset disposals and provision. Petrom's clean EBIT contribution
thus stood at EUR 708 mn, down by 13%. Clean net income after
minorities was EUR 1,649 mn and clean EPS after minorities was EUR
5.52, 8% above 2006.

In Exploration and Production, clean EBIT was in line with last
year's level. Generally higher price levels and higher production
volumes mainly in New Zealand and Libya compensated for lower volumes
of Petrom and the negative currency impact. The Group's oil and gas
production stood at 321,000 boe/d, just 1% below last year.

In Refining and Marketing, clean EBIT increased by 3% compared to
2006, reflecting an overall stronger margin environment in bulk
refining as well as the progress in Marketing, especially in Romania.

In Gas, clean EBIT was boosted by the full consolidation of EconGas
(first included in Q4/06), better results in Petrom and the
significant contribution from the logistics business, which was
supported by increased storage utilization and higher transport
capacity sold.
