First Quarter 2019 Results
Selling Prices
Reflecting the evolution of the Brent price, the average selling price of the Mandji crude oil grade marketed by Total Gabon averaged $57.7 per barrel, down 6% compared to first quarter 2018.
Production
Total Gabon's equity share of operated and non-operated oil production(1) amounted to 31,900 barrels per day during the first quarter 2019, down 11% compared to first quarter 2018. This decline is mainly due to the sale of onshore assets on September 30, 2018 and the natural decline of fields.
Revenue
Revenue amounted to $164 million in the first quarter 2019, down 21% compared to the first quarter 2018, impacted both by the price decrease and lower volumes sold.
Funds Generated From Operations
Funds generated from operations amounted to $83 million, a significant increase compared to the first quarter 2018, mainly due to lower working capital, notably in the accounts payable.

Net Income
Net income amounted to $10 million in the first quarter 2019, lower than in the first quarter 2018 ($23 million), mainly impacted by the decline in prices and production.
