The Board is recommending a final dividend of 6.80 pence (2016: 5.80 pence) per share which, together with the interim dividend of 3.40 pence (2016: 2.90 pence) per share, makes a total ordinary dividend for the year of 10.20 pence (2016: 8.70 pence) per share, an increase of 17 per cent.

Despite a volatile environment over the past three years, Total has successfully repositioned itself, achieving solid results in 2017 thanks to good operating performance and lowering its organic break-even point before Brent's dividend to $ 27 / b. Major investments over the past five years have resulted in strong growth in high margin production. The Group has also strengthened by investing on a counter-cycle and has acquired resources on attractive terms. It enjoys strong visibility on the growth of its cash flow and increased financial flexibility thanks to a debt ratio (net debt on capital) lowered to 12% at the end of 2017. Confident in the ability of the Group's teams to seize value-creating growth opportunities, the Board of Directors reaffirms the priority it gives to the implementation of the Group's long-term industrial strategy. In this context, the Board of Directors wished to give visibility to the policy of allocation of cash flow and return to the shareholder for the next three years. It has confirmed an investment program of $ 15 - $ 17 billion a year, has set a target of maintaining the debt ratio (net debt to capital) below 20% and maintaining a grade A rating and has also proposed the following measures: 1. Dividend increase of 10% over the next 3 years A dividend for 2017 of € 2.48 / share will be proposed to the Shareholders' Meeting, which corresponds to a balance of € 0.62 / share and a dividend increase of 1.2% compared to 2016 The quarterly installments for the 20181 financial year will be increased by 3.2% to € 0.64 per share, with the intention of proposing to the Annual General Meeting a dividend for the 2018 financial year of € 2.56 / share. The dividend target for the 2020 financial year would be € 2.72 / share 2. Redemption of shares issued without a discount under the share dividend option Maintaining the dividend in stock option to meet the wishes of certain shareholders but without discounting the issue price on the share price Repurchase of newly issued shares for cancellation. No dilution linked to the stock dividend option as of 2018 Immediate redemption of the shares issued in January 2018 as part of the payment of the second installment 2017 3. Up to $ 5 billion of share buybacks over the 2018-20 period The goal is to share with shareholders the benefits of rising oil prices Buyback volumes will be adjusted for oil prices This comes in addition to the repurchase of shares issued as part of the stock dividend 2017 dividend The Board of Directors proposes to the Combined General Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on June 1, 2018, to set the dividend for the 2017 financial year at € 2.48 / share, an increase of 1.2% compared to 2016. Given the three installments of € 0.62 / share for the 2017 financial year, a balance of € 0.62 / share is therefore proposed. The Board also proposes that the Shareholders' Meeting decide to offer shareholders the possibility of receiving the payment of this dividend balance for the 2017 financial year, either in cash or by subscribing for new shares of the Company without a discount. Therefore, subject to approval by the General Assembly of the resolution to be proposed: the balance of the dividend will be detached from the share on Euronext Paris on June 11, 2018; the payment in cash and / or the delivery of any shares issued, depending on the option chosen, should take place on June 28, 2018. 1The first deposit will be paid in October 2018 * * * * * Total contacts Investor Relations: [phone] l [e-mail]

ArcelorMittal (MT.AE) reported its fourth-quarter results before the market opened on Wednesday. Here's what you need to know: SALES: Sales rose by about 25% to $17.71 billion due to higher steel and iron-ore shipments and higher average steel selling prices. The results fell slightly short of a FactSet-compiled consensus of analyst estimates that forecast $17.94 billion. NET INCOME: The steelmaker posted quarterly net profit of $1.04 billion, more than doubling its result from a year ago, propped up by sales performance. The company recorded an income tax benefit of $119 million in the quarter, which compares with a $71 million tax expense in the year-earlier period. MACRO OUTLOOK: ArcelorMittal was upbeat about the steel industry outlook for 2018, saying that the demand environment remains positive and steel spreads remaining healthy. The company estimates global steel demand--measured through apparent steel consumption--to grow between 1.5% and 2.5% in 2018, with Chinese demand flat. CASH FLOW: Net debt decreased this quarter by $1.9 billion to $10.1 billion, mainly due to positive free cash flow. The debt figure at year-end was $0.9 billion lower than on Dec. 31, 2016. ArcelorMittal said that it would continue to prioritize deleveraging--it has a net debt target of $6 billion--but proposed a dividend of $0.10 per share in 2018. Once the debt level falls to or below its target, the company will return a portion of annual free cash flow to shareholders, it said. ILVA: ArcelorMittal said that it will continue "to work closely and constructively" with the European Commission, which has opened a phase II review of its proposed acquisition of Italian steelmaker Ilva. Arcelor's 1.8 billion euros ($2.23 billion) acquisition had become mired in controversy after an EU antitrust investigation ruled that the Italian government must recover around EUR84 million in illegal state aid.

Total SA (FP.FR) said Tuesday that its board of directors has removed the discount offered for new shares to be issued as payment of the second interim dividend of the year, a move that sets the price for new shares at 46.55 euros ($54.86). Shareholders have the option to receive the dividend in cash or in new shares of the company, it added. The French energy group said the discount is the result of current oil prices--above $60 a barrel--and its performance in terms of cash-flow generation. The ex-dividend date for the second interim dividend is set for Dec. 19, the company said. Write to Marc Navarro Gonzalez at [e-mail] (END) Dow Jones Newswires December 12, 2017 13:22 ET (18:22 GMT)
