8. Other Operating Income and Net Income from Equity-Accounted Investments

Foreign exchange gains from operating activities were mainly impacted by the development of the USD foreign exchange rate in 2025 and 2024.

Gains from disposals in 2024 related mostly to gains from the divestment of OMV’s 50% share in the Malaysian SapuraOMV Upstream Sdn. Bhd.

On January 3, 2025, the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) ruled in favor of OMV in the arbitration proceedings relating to the Austrian supply contract, awarding OMV compensation by Gazprom Export LLC. In light of this favorable award, the financial impact of the partial set-off against liabilities under the Austrian gas supply contract was recorded in “Other operating income” (included in “Residual other operating income”) in 2025 in the amount of EUR 48 mn.

Following concluded arbitration proceedings in relation to the German gas supply contract with Gazprom Export under International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) rules in November 2024, OMV received an arbitral award that granted damages to OMV which were set off against liabilities under the Austrian gas supply contract. This led in 2024 to a positive impact of EUR 259 mn in the Consolidated Income Statement, thereof EUR 234 mn reflected in the line items “Other operating income” (included in “Residual other operating income” in the above table) and EUR 25 mn in “Interest income.”

Furthermore, residual other operating income for 2025 was impacted by a positive outcome from litigation in Romania, and contained government grants in both years. In addition, the position included storage income related to Erdöl-Lagergesellschaft m.b.H. of EUR 46 mn (2024: EUR 46 mn).

Income from equity-accounted investments was mainly impacted by Borouge PLC and ADNOC Global Trading. For further details, see Note 18 – Equity-Accounted Investments.
