"In its Q1 2016 results Shell (RDSB) made revenues of US$48.6bn (-26% YoY) with net profit of US$455m for the period (-90% YoY). CCS earnings attributable to shareholders were US$814m (-83% YoY), however, excluding identified items CCS earnings were US$1.6bn (-58% YoY) which was better than the consensus figure of cUS$1.2bn. CCS earnings were, unsurprisingly, brought into the black by the downstream and integrated gas segments which made a profit of US$2bn and US$1bn versus the US$1.4bn loss made by its upstream segment. The interim dividend has been maintained at US$0.47 equal to Q1 2015..."

Shell profits plunge to £1.1bn as oil price woes continue

Shell's results beat analyst expectations despite a 58% plunge in profits
Shell's results beat analyst expectations despite a 58% plunge in profits

Shell's first-quarter profits plummeted 58% to 1.6 billion US dollars (£1.1 billion) as the falling oil price continues to hammer the sector.

Shell's downstream business, which includes refining, saw profits fall from 2.65 billion US dollars (£1.8 billion) billion to 2 billion US dollars (£1.3 billion) compared with the same period last year.

Share

Losses at the upstream business, which includes exploration and production, came in at 1.4 billion US dollars (£963 million).

Earnings on a current cost of supplies (CCS) basis were 800 million US dollars (£550 million), compared with 4.8 billion US dollars (£3.3 billion) last year.

However, the results beat analyst expectations for the oil giant and Shell's chief executive Ben van Beurden said: "Downstream and Integrated Gas businesses are delivering strong results and underpinning our financial performance despite continued low oil and gas prices.

"We continue to reduce our spending levels, to capture cost opportunities and manage the financial framework in today's lower oil price environment.

"The combination with BG is off to a strong start, as a result of detailed forward planning before the completion of the transaction. This will likely result in accelerated delivery of the synergies from the acquisition, and at a lower cost than we originally set out."

Royal Dutch Shell RDS Q1 2016 Dividend Announcement
04/05/2016 6:00am

TIDMRDSA TIDMRDSB

ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC FIRST QUARTER 2016 INTERIM DIVIDEND

The Hague, May 4, 2016 - The Board of Royal Dutch Shell plc ("RDS") today
announced an interim dividend in respect of the first quarter of 2016 of
US$0.47 per A ordinary share ("A Share") and B ordinary share ("B Share"),
equal to the US dollar dividend for the same quarter last year.

RDS provides eligible shareholders with a choice to receive dividends in cash
or in shares via a Scrip Dividend Programme ("the Programme"). For further
details please see below.

Details relating to the first quarter 2016 interim dividend

It is expected that cash dividends on the B Shares will be paid via the
Dividend Access Mechanism from UK-sourced income of the Shell Group.

Per ordinary share Q1 2016

RDS A Shares (US$) 0.47

RDS B Shares (US$) 0.47

Cash dividends on A Shares will be paid, by default, in euro, although holders
of A Shares will be able to elect to receive dividends in pounds sterling.

Cash dividends on B Shares will be paid, by default, in pounds sterling,
although holders of B Shares will be able to elect to receive dividends in
euro.

The pounds sterling and euro equivalent dividend payments will be announced on
June 13, 2016.

Per ADS Q1 2016

RDS A ADSs (US$) 0.94

RDS B ADSs (US$) 0.94

Cash dividends on American Depository Shares ("ADSs") will be paid, by default,
in US dollars.

ADS stands for an American Depositary Share. ADR stands for an American
Depositary Receipt. An ADR is a certificate that evidences ADSs. ADSs are
listed on the NYSE under the symbols RDS.A and RDS.B. Each ADS represents two
ordinary shares, two A Shares in the case of RDS.A or two B Shares in the case
of RDS.B. In many cases the terms ADR and ADS are used interchangeably.



Scrip Dividend Programme

RDS provides shareholders with a choice to receive dividends in cash or in
shares via the Programme.

Under the Programme shareholders can increase their shareholding in RDS by
choosing to receive new shares instead of cash dividends, if approved by the
Board. Only new A Shares will be issued under the Programme, including to
shareholders who currently hold B Shares.

In some countries, joining the Programme may currently offer a tax advantage
compared with receiving cash dividends. In particular, dividends paid out as
shares by the Company will not be subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax
(currently 15 per cent), unlike cash dividends paid on A shares, and they will
not generally be taxed on receipt by a UK shareholder or a Dutch shareholder.

Shareholders who elect to join the Programme will increase the number of shares
held in RDS without having to buy existing shares in the market, thereby
avoiding associated dealing costs.

Shareholders who do not join the Programme will continue to receive in cash any
dividends approved by the Board.

Shareholders who held only B Shares and joined the Programme are reminded they
will need to make a Scrip Dividend Election in respect of their new A Shares if
they wish to join the Programme in respect of such new shares. However, this
is only necessary if the shareholder has not previously made a Scrip Dividend
Election in respect of any new A Shares issued.

For further information on the Programme, including how to join if you are
eligible, please refer to the appropriate publication available on
www.shell.com/scrip.

Note

Both a different scrip and currency election date may apply to shareholders

ultimately holding through Euroclear Nederland. This may also apply to other
shareholders who do not hold their shares either directly on the Register of
Members or in the corporate sponsored nominee arrangement. Shareholders can
contact their broker, financial intermediary, bank or financial institution for
the election deadline that applies. A different scrip election date may apply
to registered and non-registered ADS holders. Registered ADS holders can
contact The Bank of New York Mellon for the election deadline that applies.
Non-registered ADS holders can contact their broker, financial intermediary,
bank or financial institution for the election deadline that applies.

Taxation - cash dividends

Cash dividends on A Shares will be subject to the deduction of Dutch dividend
withholding tax at the rate of 15%, which may be reduced in certain
circumstances.

In April 2016, there were changes to the UK taxation of dividends. The dividend
tax credit has been abolished, and a new tax free dividend allowance of GBP5,000
introduced. Dividend income in excess of the allowance will be taxable at the
following rates: 7.5% within the basic rate band; 32.5% within the higher rate
band; and 38.1% on dividend income taxable at the additional rate.

If you are uncertain as to the tax treatment of any dividends you should
consult your own tax advisor.

(RTTNews.com) - Royal Dutch Shell (RDS-B, RDSB.L, RDSA.L, RDS-A) reported Wednesday that its first-quarter loss before tax was $642 million, compared to profit of $5.84 billion last year.

Income attributable to shareholders plunged 89 percent to $484 million from $4.43 billion a year ago.

Shell's first quarter CCS earnings attributable to shareholders were $814 million, down 83 percent from $4.76 billion for the same quarter a year ago. Basic CCS earnings per ADS were $0.22, compared to $1.52 last year.

The results were impacted by the decline in oil, gas and LNG prices and weaker refining industry conditions.

The latest results included BG Group plc following completion of the acquisition on February 15.

Total revenue and other income declined to $ 49.73 billion from last year's

$68.85 billion.

LNG sales volumes of 12.29 million tonnes were 25% higher mainly reflecting the impact of the acquisition of BG. Oil products sales volumes were 1% lower

Further, the company announced an interim first-quarter dividend of $0.47 per A ordinary share and B ordinary share, and $0.94 per American Depositary Share.
