Purchase and termination options in finance lease contracts - Joint ventures and associates

The finance lease contracts of FPSO N'Goma, FPSO Saxi and FPSO Mondo, where the Company is the lessor, include call options for the client to purchase the underlying asset or to terminate the contract early. The finance lease contract of FPSO Kikeh also includes options for the client to purchase the underlying asset or to terminate the contract early, but it should be noted that the first option for the client to exercise the purchase option on FPSO Kikeh is early 2022.

The exercise of the purchase option on FPSOs N'Goma, Saxi and Mondo as per December 31, 2019 would have resulted in a gain for the Company or a near break-even result. The exercise of the option to terminate the contract early, in which case the Company retains ownership of the vessel, would result in a gain for FPSO Kikeh, break-even result for FPSOs Saxi and Mondo, while this would result in a loss for the Company on FPSO N'Goma. The Company considers the likelihood of the client exercising the option to terminate the contract on this specific contract as remote.

Hyperinflation Angola

Angola is no longer a hyperinflation country in 2019. In 2018 the Company applied hyperinflation accounting in line with the requirements of IAS 29 for its local branch in Angola (OPS-Serviçõs de Produção de Petróleos Ltd.).
