This is an update of the second quarter performance following the first quarter results presentation on May 20, 2020. The impacts presented here may vary from the actual results and are subject to finalisation of the second quarter 2020 results.

When preparing the interim consolidated financial statements ending June 30th 2020, Wintershall Dea performed an impairment testing in accordance with International Accounting Standards 36 triggered by the currently very low commodity price environment. Based on updated operational assumptions for certain assets and the revised long-term commodity price assumptions, Wintershall Dea has identified a groupwide non-cash impairment post-tax charge that is expected to be in the range of EUR 750-800 million and will be reflected in the second quarter financial statements. The impairment charge will reduce the Group’s headline net income, but will not impact underlying earnings, cash flow or other key performance indicators.

Further information will be provided in Wintershall Dea’s second-quarter 2020 results, expected to be released on August 19, 2020.
