The Board of Directors of TotalEnergies SE, chaired by CEO Patrick Pouyanné, met on February 6, 2024, to approve the fourth quarter 2023 financial statements. On the occasion, Patrick Pouyanné said:
“In an uncertain environment, TotalEnergies’ balanced transition strategy, which combines growth in Oil & Gas, in particular in LNG, and Integrated Power, delivered strong results in 2023, in line with its objectives. During the fourth quarter, TotalEnergies generated adjusted net income of $5.2 billion and cash flow of $8.5 billion. IFRS net income was $5.1 billion.
In 2023 TotalEnergies reported adjusted net income of $23.2 billion and cash flow of $35.9 billion. 2023 IFRS net income was $21.4 billion (€19.8 billion), up 4% year-on-year. This year the Company once again achieved top tier 20% return on equity and 19% return on average capital employed. TotalEnergies invested $16.8 billion, including 35% for low-carbon energies mainly in power. Ordinary dividends increased by 7.1% and the Company completed $9 billion in buybacks of its shares, of which $1.5 billion was linked to the Canadian asset disposals. The Company further reduced net debt, achieving 5% gearing, including a $5 billion positive contribution of working capital. Payout increased to an attractive 46.0% in 2023. In addition, TotalEnergies ensured balanced profit sharing with its employees around the world and in particular in France (average 5% wage increase*, value sharing bonus* of at least €2k and support for employees in their energy transition**) and with its customers through rebates (€1.99 per liter price cap and renewal of the rebate on gas and power prices to private customers).
In the Oil & Gas business, fourth quarter production was 2.46 Mboe/d, which benefited from 7% LNG production growth quarter-to-quarter. In a softening Brent environment, Exploration & Production delivered a strong quarter, with adjusted net operating income of $2.8 billion and cash flow of $4.7 billion. Operating costs decreased to 5.1 $/boe thanks to the divestment of high-cost Canadian oil sands assets. Full-year 2023 total production increased 2% year-on-year (excluding Novatek), driven by strong LNG production growth of 9%, and Exploration & Production generated strong adjusted net operating income of $10.9 billion and cash flow of $19.1 billion. TotalEnergies’ exploration successes continued in Namibia, Suriname, and Nigeria. The Company reports a reserves replacement ratio of 141% in 2023 and a proved reserves life index of 12 years as of December 31, demonstrating the strength of its project portfolio.
Integrated LNG results remain robust with fourth quarter adjusted net operating income of $1.5 billion and cash flow of $1.8 billion, up 8% and 7% quarter-over-quarter, respectively, and driven by higher production and strengthening prices. For full year 2023, Integrated LNG generated annual adjusted net operating income of $6.2 billion and cash flow of $7.3 billion, which is lower than the exceptional results in 2022 but higher than 2021 thanks to growth in its portfolio.
During the fourth quarter, Integrated Power continued its profitable growth with higher adjusted net operating income and cash flow of $527 million and $705 million, respectively. Full-year 2023 cash flow totaled $2.2 billion, which is more than double compared to 2022. Integrated Power achieved an ROACE of 9.8% in 2023, demonstrating the relevance of the Company’s integrated business model. TotalEnergies announced several acquisitions, further enhancing its Integrated Power business model in the US and in Europe: 1.5 GW of flexible CCGT capacity in Texas and a renewable energy aggregator (9 GW) and a battery storage developer (2 GW) in Germany.
Downstream adjusted net operating income was $939 million and cash-flow was $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter, which reflects the decrease in refining margins and weak chemicals demand in Europe. Full-year 2023 adjusted net operating income of $6.1 billion and cash flow of $8.2 billion were supported by good availability in Europe and still attractive refining margins, although lower compared to historic levels in 2022.
In view of the structural cash flow growth and share buybacks executed in 2023 (5.9% of the share capital), the Board of Directors will propose at the Shareholders’ Meeting to be held on May 24, 2024, the distribution of a final 2023 dividend of €0.79/share, resulting in an increase of 7.1% for the ordinary 2023 dividend, compared to the ordinary 2022 dividend, to €3.01/share. Furthermore, the Board of Directors confirmed a shareholder return policy for 2024 targeting >40% CFFO payout, which will combine an increase in interim dividends of 6.8% to €0.79/share and $2 billion of share buybacks in the first quarter of 2024, which will remain the base level for quarterly buybacks in the current environment.”

Hydrocarbon production was 2,462 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day in the fourth quarter 2023, down 1% quarter-over-quarter. Fourth quarter benefited from LNG production growth, which partially compensated for the Canadian oil sands assets disposals that were effective this quarter.
Hydrocarbon production was 2,483 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2023, up 2% year-on-year (excluding Novatek) and was comprised of:
- +4% due to start-ups and ramp-ups, including Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 in Norway, Mero 1 in Brazil, Ikike in Nigeria, Block 10 in Oman, and Absheron in Azerbaijan,
- +1% due to improved security conditions in Nigeria and Libya,
- +1% due to lower planned maintenance and unplanned shutdowns, including at the Kashagan field in Kazakhstan,
- -1% portfolio effect related to the end of the Bongkot operating licenses in Thailand, exit from Termokarstovoye in Russia, disposal of the Canadian oil sands assets and effective withdrawal from Myanmar, partially offset by the entries in the producing fields of SARB Umm Lulu in the United Arab Emirates, of Sépia and Atapu in Brazil, of Ratawi in Iraq, and the increased participation in the Waha concessions in Libya,
- -3% due to the natural field declines.

Hydrocarbon production for LNG (excluding Novatek) was up 7% quarter-to-quarter, reflecting lower unplanned shutdowns. For full-year 2023, hydrocarbon production for LNG (excluding Novatek) was up 9% compared to 2022 due to increased supply to NLNG in Nigeria and higher availability of Ichthys LNG in Australia and Snøvhit in Norway.
In the fourth quarter 2023, LNG sales increased 13% quarter-to-quarter, mainly due to higher production and higher spot volumes.
For full-year 2023, LNG sales were down 8% compared to 2022, mainly due to lower spot volumes related to lower demand in Europe as a result of a milder winter weather and high inventories.

Integrated LNG adjusted net operating income was $1,456 million in the fourth quarter 2023, up 8% quarter-to-quarter, reflecting the evolution of prices and production volumes. For full-year 2023, Integrated LNG adjusted net operating income was $6,200 million, down 37% year-on-year (excluding Novatek), mainly due to the exceptional environment in 2022 linked to the energy crisis in Europe resulting from the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Cash flow from operations excluding working capital (CFFO) for Integrated LNG was $1,763 million in the fourth quarter 2023, up 7% quarter-to-quarter, reflecting the evolution of prices and production volumes.
Integrated LNG CFFO was down 25% year-on-year (excluding Novatek), mainly due to lower LNG prices that were partially offset by high margins captured in 2022 on LNG cargoes delivered in 2023.

*** Includes 20% of Adani Green Energy Ltd’s gross capacity effective first quarter 2021, 50% of Clearway Energy Group’s gross capacity effective third quarter 2022 and 49% of Casa dos Ventos’ gross capacity effective first quarter 2023.
Net power production was 8.0 TWh in the fourth quarter 2023, down 10% quarter-to-quarter due to lower CCGT generation. For the full-year 2023, net power production was 33.4 TWh, up 1% year-on-year as lower generation from flexible capacity, whose utilization rate was exceptional in 2022 due to the energy crisis in Europe, was more than compensated by growing electricity generation from renewables that is related to the integration of 100% of Total Eren and contribution from Clearway in the US and Casa dos Ventos in Brazil.
Gross installed renewable power generation capacity reached more than 22 GW at the end of the fourth quarter 2023, up by more than 2 GW quarter-to-quarter, including 1.3 GW installed in the US (Clearway, Danish) and 0.5 GW from the creation of a new 50/50 JV with AGEL in India. In 2023, gross installed renewable capacity grew by nearly 6 GW.
