Paris, February 20, 2003 - The Board of Directors of TotalFinaElf, chaired by
CEO Thierry Desmarest, met on February 19 to review the 2002 fourth quarter
results and to close the 2002 consolidated accounts and parent company accounts.
Commenting on the results, Thierry Desmarest said :
"Despite the generally less favorable 2002 environment, TotalFinaElf performed
well, partially offsetting the impact of the downturn thanks largely to a record
level 10% increase in hydrocarbon production and to the ongoing implementation
of synergy and productivity programs (...)
When we express our earnings per share excluding non-recurring items in dollars,
in order to be comparable to our peers, TotalFinaElf shows a decline of only 8%
year over year, while our major competitors reported decreases ranging between
22% and 34%".

2002 Results
Consolidated sales declined by 3% to 102,540 million euros (MEuro) in 2002 from
105,318 MEuro In 2001.
Although the oil market environment was more favorable in the 2002 fourth
quarter than in the 2001 fourth quarter (a 38% increase in the Brent oil price
and a 10% increase in the European refining margin that more than offset the 10%
decline in the dollar versus the euro), market conditions for the full-year 2002
were less favorable than in the full-year 2001.
Oil market conditions in 2002 were mixed :
* the average Brent oil price rose slightly (+2%) to 25.0 $/b in 2002 from
24.4 $/b in 2001,
* the European refining margin was sharply lower in 2002, falling 48% to 8.0
$/t in 2002 from 15.4 $/t in 2001,
* the dollar weakened against the euro by 5%, setting the average euro/dollar
exchange rate at 0.95 in 2002 versus 0.90 in 2001.
In addition, after signs of improvement in mid-year, petrochemical
margins declined during the fourth quarter 2002.
Operating income from the business segments excluding non-recurring items rose
by 15% in the 2002 fourth quarter as compared to the same quarter a year ago,
and for the full year it fell by 16% to 10,995 MEuro in 2002 from 13,121 MEuro
in 2001.
Non-recurring items in 2002, comprised mainly of impairments in Argentina
related to gas and power assets and the LPG marketing activity, had a negative
impact on operating income of 659 MEuro.
Growth and synergies/productivity programs contributed 1.3 billion euros (BEuro)
to operating income in 2002, partially offsetting the large negative impact of
changes in the environment (-3.1 BEuro) and the effect of an unusually high
level of scheduled refinery turn-arounds particularly during the third and
fourth quarters of 2002 (-0.3 BEuro).
Net operating income from the business segments excluding non-recurring items
for the 2002 fourth quarter rose by 7% as compared to the same quarter a year
ago, and for the full year it fell by 22% to 5,868 MEuro in 2002 from 7,564
MEuro. The percentage decrease in net operating income is larger than the
percentage decrease in the pre-tax operating income due primarily to the fact
that the Upstream segment, which is more heavily taxed than Downstream and
Chemicals, increased its relative share of the operating results in 2002 versus
2001.
Net income excluding non-recurring items rose by 13% in the 2002 fourth quarter
as compared to the 2001 fourth quarter, and for the full year it fell by 17% to
6,260 MEuro in 2002 from 7,518 MEuro in 2001.
Earnings per share excluding non-recurring items, based on 658.4 million fully-
diluted weighted average shares, rose by 16% to 2.44 euros in the 2002 fourth
quarter as compared to 2.11 euros in the same quarter last year. For the full
year, earnings per share excluding non-recurring items, based on 666.1 million
fully-diluted weighted average shares, declined by 13% to 9.40 euros in 2002
from 10.85 euros in 2001. The limited decline in earnings per share reflects in
part the accretive impact of the large share buy-back program.
During the 2002 fourth quarter, TotalFinaElf repurchased 10.45 million of its
shares for 1.42 BEuro, bringing the total buy-back program for the year to
24.03(1) million shares, or 3.5% of the share capital, for 3.40 BEuro.
The number of fully-diluted shares was 655.0 million at December 31, 2002 versus
673.0 million at December 31,2001.
Reported net income more than doubled to 1,372 MEuro In the 2002 fourth quarter
from 652 MEuro in the 2001 fourth quarter. For the year, reported net income was
5,941 MEuro in 2002 compared to 7,658 MEuro in 2001.
Reported net income includes the impact of non-recurring items which had a net
negative effect of 319 MEuro In 2002 as compared to a net positive effect of 140
MEuro in 2001. Non-recurring items in 2002 were composed primarily of gains on
asset sales (notably shares of Sanofi-Synthelabo), impairments of certain gas
and power assets and LPG marketing activities in Argentina, and recognition of
the impact on deferred taxes from a change In the UK tax law affecting oil
companies.
The net-debt-to-equity ratio was 28.6% at year-end 2002 compared to 30.9% at
year-end 2001.
In 2002, the company's return on average capital employed (ROACE(2)) was 15%.
The return on equity (ROE) was at a high level of 20% in 2002.
Cash flow from operating activities decreased by 11% to 11,006 MEuro in 2002
from 12,303 MEuro in 2001.
Investments fell by 18% to 8,657 MEuro in 2002 from 10,566 MEuro in 2001,
reflecting lower spending in Upstream gas and power activities and in the
Chemicals segment.
Divestments, based on selling prices, were 2,313 MEuro in 2002, comprised mainly
of sales of securities (notably Sanofi-Synthelabo and other financial
participations) as well as reimbursements of long-term loans.
Free cash flow(3) was 4,662 MEuro in 2002 compared to 8,741 MEuro In 2001.
(1) includes 2.91 million shares used to cover stock option programs.
(2) To be more comparable to its peer group, TotalFinaElf has changed to
presenting a return on average capital employed (ROACE) which is net
operating income (excluding non-recurring items and before amortization of
goodwill for Chemicals) divided by the average of the beginning and ending
capital employed, and will no longer present on the basis of return on
beginning of year capital employed. This ratio will be presented for the
business segments and at the Group level.
(3) Free cash flow - cash flow from operations - divestments - investments
Upstream
Operating income excluding non-recurring items from the Upstream segment rose by
3% to 9,309 MEuro in 2002 from 9,022 MEuro in 2001. The positive effects of a
large increase in production volume and the higher oil price were partially
offset by the negative impacts of the dollar depreciating against the euro and
lower natural gas prices.
Net operating income excluding non-recurring items
for the Upstream segment was stable at 4,648 MEuro in 2002 compared to 4,652
MEuro in 2001. Relative to the year-over-year increase in operating income
excluding non-recurring items, the flat net operating income reflects the
impacts of lower capitalized interest due to a number of start-ups and lower
income contributions from equity affiliates.
Upstream ROACE was 23% in 2002.
During the 2002 fourth quarter, hydrocarbon production rose by 8% to 2,523
thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (kboe/d) from 2,332 kboe/d in the
2001 fourth quarter.
Hydrocarbon production increased by 10% to 2,416 kboe/d for the full year 2002
compared to 2,197 kboe/d for 2001. Excluding the impact of OPEC quota
reductions, production growth would have been 11.5% in 2002.
Liquids production rose by 9% to 1,589 kb/d in 2002 from 1,454 kb/d in 2001,
driven primarily by growth from Block 17 in Angola, Sincor in Venezuela, South
Pars and Dorood in Iran, and various fields in the UK North Sea.
Gas production increased by 12% to 4,532 Mcfd in 2002 from 4,061 Mcfd in 2001,
driven primarily by growth from Elgin-Franklin and Nuggets in the UK North Sea
and new fields launched in Norway and Syria.
Driven by a sustained exploration and appraisal program, proved reserves
continued to grow, rising 2% to 11,203 Mboe at year-end 2002 from 10,978 Mboe at
year-end 2001. The 2002 proved reserves represent 12.7 years of production based
on the average rate for 2002. For consolidated subsidiaries, the 2000-2002 3-
year average reserve replacement rate was very competitive at 151%.
The 2000-2002 3-year average reserve replacement cost for consolidated
subsidiaries was 4.0 $/boe and finding costs were 0.7 $/boe.
The main discoveries in 2002 were made in deep-offshore West Africa (Nigeria and
Angola, including Zinia in the 2002 fourth quarter), in the North Sea and in
Kazakhstan (Kalamkas).
Major 2002 highlights included the build-up of production from South Pars in
Iran, Girassol in Angola, Elgin-Franklin in the UK North Sea, and the Sincor
upgrader in Venezuela. The Sincor upgrader is in the process of restarting
operations after having been idled for 10 weeks by a strike in Venezuela.
Other highlights for the year included the approval of the Snohvit project by
the Norwegian Parliament, the acquisition of 5% of the BTC pipeline project as
well as the acquisition of several permits in Russia.
Gas and power activities in Argentina were the object of a 431 MEuro asset
impairment in 2002; however, the operational highlight of the year was launching
the Taweelah power project in Abu Dhabi.
For renewable energies, new developments included a solar power project in
Morocco and the start of a wind energy project at the Dunkirk refinery site in
France.

Downstream
Operating income excluding non-recurring items from the Downstream segment fell
by 70% to 909 MEuro in 2002 from 3,004 MEuro in 2001.
Refined product demand in the OECD countries declined due to weak economic
conditions and mild weather during 2002, thus creating an exceptionally poor
environment for the Downstream segment: European refining margins fell by 48%
and marketing margins were under pressure given the context of high crude oil
prices.
Downstream results were further affected by an unusually high level of scheduled
refinery turn-arounds: 7 of the 12 refineries operated by TotalFinaElf in Europe
were affected, mainly in the third and fourth quarters of 2002.
Synergies and productivity efforts had a positive impact of about 0.2 BEuro on
operating income which only partially offset the negative impact of the
environment and the refinery turn-arounds.
Net operating income excluding non-recurring items for the Downstream segment
fell by 63% to 846 MEuro in 2002 from 2,309 MEuro in 2001.
Within this context, Downstream ROACE was 8% in 2002.
Taking into account the refinery turn-arounds, refinery throughput fell by 8% to
2,218 kb/d in the 2002 fourth quarter from 2,406 kb/d in the 2001 fourth
quarter. For the full year, refinery throughput fell by 5% to 2,349 kb/d in 2002
from 2,465 kb/d in 2001, and the utilization rate fell to 88% in 2002 from 96%
in 2001.
Refined product sales were up slightly to 3,751 kb/d in 2002 from 3,724 kb/d in
2001.
In refining, the main highlights for 2002 concerned the major turn-arounds that
improved the safety and reliability of the units as well as increased the
conversion and desulphurization rates.
In marketing, a new market segmentation strategy was implemented in France in
2002, using the TOTAL brand (focused on the service-sensitive market segment)
and the redesigned Elf brand (focused on the price-sensitive market segment).
Outside of France, an agreement in principle was reached with Agip and Galp
under which TotalFinaElf will dispose of its TOTAL-brand service stations in
Spain and acquire stations in italy and Portugal.
TotalFinaElf sold its service station network in Switzerland, where its market
share was less than 3%.

Chemicals
Sales for the Chemicals segment were stable at 19,317 MEuro in 2002 compared to
19,560 MEuro in 2001.
Operating income excluding non-recurring items fell by 29% to 777 MEuro in 2002
from 1,095 MEuro in 2001.
The environment for Chemicals had a negative impact of about 0.4 BEuro on
operating income for the year.
Operating income for the Base chemicals & polymers sector was affected by a
particularly depressed environment in the ethylene/polyethylene chain as well as
in the chlorine chain.
Intermediates resisted the difficult economic conditions. Specialties improved
their performance.
Net operating income excluding non-recurring items fell by 38% to 374 MEuro in
2002 from 603 MEuro in 2001.
Chemicals ROACE was 5%(4) in 2002.
The main 2002 highlights for the Base chemicals & polymers sector were the
signing of a letter of intent with Samsung for a 50% interest in its Daesan
petrochemical complex in South Korea, the launching a new polypropylene unit at
Feluy in Belgium and the purchase of Enichem's interest in Qapco in Qatar.
(4)excluding amortization of goodwill in the amount of 131 MEuro in 2002
TotalFinaElf actively managed its portfolio of intermediates and Specialties.
Telomeres fluorides were sold and the sale of the SigmaKalon paints unit was
initiated with a closing expected during the first quarter 2003 after approval
from the competition authorities.

Outlook
Given the uncertainties related to events in the Middle East, it is difficult to
predict trends for the 2003 oil market environment.
Since the start of the year, oil prices have remained at high levels. Refining
margins have recently rebounded sharply. The dollar has lost ground against the
euro, and petrochemicals continued to suffer low margins given the high price of
naphtha feedstock.
(5) based on 655.0 M fully-diluted shares at December 31, 2002
Within this context, TotalFinaElf plans to maintain an investment program of 8.7
billion euros, with priority given to Upstream growth. The 2003 budget for
investments is split 67% for Upstream, 15% for Downstream and 18% for Chemicals
(including the Samsung JV project).
TotalFinaElf plans to continue to improve its performance in 2003 (assuming a
constant environment):
* Upstream production is expected to grow by 5%,
* Downstream projects a 300 MEuro operating income improvement from ongoing
synergies and productivity efforts,
* Chemicals will pursue self-help programs, restructurings and active
portfolio management.
The target to improve operating income by 4.8 BEuro on an annual basis by the
end of the 2000-2003 period is confirmed, assuming a constant environment.
Over the medium term, the target for hydrocarbon production is to average 5%
growth per year through 2007.
In addition, the following 2005 targets for return on average capital employed
(ROACE(6)) have been set: Upstream 16%(7), Downstream 16% and Chemicals 14%(8).
For the Group as a whole, the 2005 ROACE target is 15.5%.
The net-debt-to-equity ratio is expected to be maintained at around 30%, and the
buy-back program is expected to continue.
In setting demanding but realistic medium-term targets for growth and
profitability, the Group mobilizes the talents and energy of its people to
achieve profitable and sustainable growth.
