TotalEnergies SE: Third Quarter 2026 Results

Patrick Pouyanné, CEO of TotalEnergies

“In a high-price environment characterized by historic refining margin levels and a bull gas market, TotalEnergies is once again fully leveraging its integrated business model and its geographic diversification by posting an adjusted net income of $9.1 billion and cash flow of $12.3 billion for the third quarter, a sharp increase quarter-to-quarter. Oil & Gas production reached 2.474 Mboe/d in the third quarter, up more than 3% quarter-to-quarter, notably benefiting from a lower impact of the Middle East conflict, limited to only around 5% of the Company’s overall production over the quarter on average. Excluding the Middle East impact, production growth exceeds 4% year-on-year, supported by the ramp-up of projects launched since 2025. Furthermore, with the investment decisions taken this quarter for Cronos in Cyprus, Ima in Nigeria, Umm Shaif Gas Cap in the United Arab Emirates and Absheron Ph2 in Azerbaijan, all the projects contributing to achieving the production growth target of more than 3% per year by 2030 are now in execution phase. Exploration and Production posted adjusted net operating income of $3.2 billion and cash flow of $5.4 billion, reflecting production growth, sensitivity to declining oil prices and rising gas prices quarter-to-quarter. The Company completed its entry into PEL83 license holding the Mopane discovery and took part in three exploration discoveries in Norway (Grimsnes) and in Angola (Block 0 and Block 17 – Violeta 4). TotalEnergies once again demonstrates its leadership to control costs, with operating costs of $4.7/boe, anchored below $5/boe. The Integrated LNG segment achieved adjusted net operating income of $1.9 billion and cash flow of $1.7 billion in the third quarter of 2026, a very sharp increase quarter-to-quarter, underpinned by a 20% increase in average LNG price and the outperformance of LNG and gas trading activities in a bull market. Downstream achieved a record quarter with adjusted net operating income of $4.1 billion and cash flow of $4.6 billion, up close to $2 billion compared to the previous quarter. The increase of nearly 10% refining throughput enabled the Company to fully capture historically high refining margins in Europe and worldwide, while oil trading activities outperformed at a level comparable with the two previous quarters. In this context of rising prices, the Company contributes to the security of supply for Europe by maximizing the use of its refineries and participating in diesel imports from the Middle East. TotalEnergies also announced enhanced protective measures for French consumers and economic players to face increasing diesel prices related to the Middle East conflict. Integrated Power posted adjusted net operating income of $0.6 billion and cash flow of nearly $0.8 billion, benefiting from an increase of more than 20% in net production in the quarter and the expected contribution from TTEP assets over a full quarter. Net investments amounted to $3.3 billion in the third quarter and $11.2 billion in the first nine months of 2026, in line with the annual guidance of $15 billion. The gearing ratio now stands at 9.1%, an improvement of 4 percentage points compared to the second quarter, benefiting from free cash flow of more than $6 billion after payment of the dividend. The Board of Directors commended the very good operational performance of all business segments which enabled the Company to capture higher market prices. It authorized a new capital increase reserved for employees, who will benefit from a 20% discount on the share price. In line with the objective to return 40% of cash flow to shareholders, the Board confirmed a third interim dividend of €0.90/share for fiscal year 2026, up 5.9% compared to 2025, and it authorized share buybacks for cancellation of $2.5 billion for the fourth quarter as well as for the first quarter 2027.”
