Gerhard Roiss, CEO of OMV:
"In 2012, we managed to deliver a record financial performance while successfully progressing our strategy. We benefited from the return of production in Libya and from a stabilized, on-target production in Romania and Austria. The E&P project pipeline was significantly strengthened and the major deep water gas discovery in the Romanian Black Sea, as well as the acquisitions in Norway, have all laid the ground for further growth. The downstream divestment program and our performance improvement program "energize OMV" are well on track and have already delivered significant milestones. We have set ourselves ambitious targets but I am convinced that we are fit for the future and we will continue to deliver on our commitment to profitable growth."
