Historical results reached in 2017 Rompetrol Rafinare S.A. (symbols, Bucharest Stock Exchange: RRC, Reuters: ROMP.BX, Bloomberg: RRC RO) has released today its fourth quarter 2017 and 2017 financial and operational unaudited results. The figures include unaudited consolidated financial statements for this period prepared by the company in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ). The IFRS financial results differ in some respects from the Romanian Standards of Accounting. Consolidated financial statements of Rompetrol Rafinare include the results of the parent company Rompetrol Rafinare S.A and its subsidiaries Rompetrol Downstream S.R.L, Rompetrol Gas S.R.L, Rompetrol Quality Control S.R.L, Rom Oil SA, Rompetrol Logistics S.R.L and Rompetrol Petrochemicals S.R.L. The document is posted on our website in the Investor Relations section: HIGHLIGHTS CONSOLIDATED Q4 2017 Q4 2016 % 12M 2017 12M 2016 % Financial Gross Revenues USD 1,275,413,635 995,861,321 28% 4,151,088,337 3,566,449,386 16% Net Revenues USD 973,949,793 724,319,144 34% 3,093,007,328 2,440,510,028 27% EBITDA USD 57,824,353 65,417,299-12% 210,724,926 186,548,315 13% EBITDA margin % 5.9% 9.0% 6.8% 7.6% EBIT USD (23,898,766) 42,997,603 N/A 58,462,135 92,457,898-37% Net profit / (loss) USD (34,189,718) 36,269,927 N/A 21,924,527 57,145,367-62% Net Profit / (loss) margin % -3.5% 5.0% 0.7% 2.3% The results have been supported by an increase in the volume of processed raw materials and of the petroleum products sold in Romania and in the region, as well as by optimizing and increasing the efficiency of the processing, logistics and distribution costs, but also by implementing programs for transformation of current activities to reduce operational expenses and increase profitability. Rompetrol Rafinare consolidated gross revenues reached USD 1.275 billion in Q4 2017 and over USD 4.151 billion in 2017. The increase of this indicator by 28% respectively by 16% as against the same periods in 2016 was influenced by the volatility of international quotations for petroleum products and by the increase in the volume of products sold compared to similar periods last year. In 2017 the RRC net result is negatively affected by one off transaction in respect of changes in accounting policies in respect of non-current assets, from cost model to revaluation model. The change from cost to revaluation model will provide a more transparent and up-to-date picture of the value of the RRC Group assets. 1 Trade Registry No: J 13/534/1991 Q4 and preliminary results 2017 Consolidated_ENG 1

The months of March through July were characterized by price volatility with intra-month swings of $5 per barrel with pressure to the downside ultimately winning out. Brent fell briefly below the $45 per barrel mark in mid-to-late June, marking the low point for the year. Second semester saw a reversal of this trend, with a series of supply outages and strong demand indications contributing to global stock draws and a growing perception of a tighter global crude market. High compliance by OPEC and non-opec participants to the supply cut deal went a long way to contributing to the perceived rebalancing of markets. Record high crude runs in many places around the world also helped soak up new supply coming online in the Atlantic Basin. 2017 was a turbulent year for Urals differentials. Urals Med and Urals NWE started the year at discounts to Dated Brent of roughly $1.10 and $1.75 per barrel respectively (Platts). Both broadly maintained a discount to Dated Brent of $1 per barrel or more until late May. Both differentials then strengthened against Dated Brent for a couple of months, peaking close to parity with the benchmark crude in late - July/early - August, with Urals Med briefly pricing at a small premium to Dated Brent. The reason for this strengthening can largely be attributed to lower loadings of Urals NWE from May onward whilst maintenance was carried out on a crude supply pipeline. The recovery of European medium sour supplies in August and September weakened Urals differentials. The end of September saw the Northern Iraqi region of Kurdistan s referendum on independence. The aftermath of the vote saw Iraqi government forces occupy oilfields in the Kirkuk region, which had previously been under the control of the Kurdish Regional Government. Iraqi crude exports from the Turkish port of Ceyhan dipped considerably following this development. This proved bullish for Urals differentials, with Urals Med and Urals NWE surging 80 cents and $1.30 per barrel, respectively, in late-september/early October to discounts vs Dated Brent of about 25 cents and $1 per barrel, respectively (Platts). Low levels of Russian refinery maintenance in Q4 2017 contributed to the continued decline of total medium sour supplies in Europe, which lent strength to Urals differentials. Further 2 Trade Registry No: J 13/534/1991 Q4 and preliminary results 2017 Consolidated_ENG 2

supply side support came from the temporary outage of the 450,000 b/d Forties Pipeline System between 11 December and Christmas/New Year. Med premium unleaded gasoline cracks had an overall healthy year in 2017. Although the highs of 2016 were not sustained on average, strong regional and global demand as well as competition for supply from a resurgent middle distillate complex kept balances in a relatively price-supportive area for most of the year. Global light distillate inventories moved from a high seasonal level at the start of the year to almost in line with the 5-year average by year s end. Mediterranean gasoline demand itself essentially held near levels observed in the prior year. This is a marked change from expectations from just a few years ago, and was driven partly by economic gains but also by still relatively low prices and a broad European shift towards buying gasoline cars rather than diesel. Gasoline cracks did see some pressure in Q4, especially compared to the last two years. One has to keep in mind that winter 2016 & 2017 were especially strong in terms of gasoline cracks, and this year appears to be more in line with typical seasonal developments whereby weak Atlantic Basin demand weighs on cracks until late Q1. Nevertheless, what has been true is that a lack of growth in crude runs in Latin America and some refining issues in the Middle East, such as the prolonged out of the huge RFCC units at Ruwais, have been supportive and should continue to be supportive at least through the start of 2018. Overall, 2017 was a good year for diesel markets, mostly on the back of strong global demand growth. Additionally, heavy stock draws in Europe and the US helped reduce the global inventory overhang quite significantly. Supported by strong middle distillate fundamentals, diesel cracks in the key refining hubs trended higher y-o-y over most of 2017. Meanwhile, Hurricane Harvey s landfall and the subsequent drop in US supply in an already tight global market sent cracks temporarily to multi-year highs. The rise and fall of cracks was sharpest in Europe, which usually takes in a large number of spare US barrels. European cracks were on an overall downward trend over Q4, pressured by ample arbitrary inflows and exceptionally strong crude runs as swing refiners in the region ramped up runs in an effort to catch the high cracks wave. Nonetheless, European diesel cracks remained higher y-o-y amid healthy demand growth in Q4 2017. Additional support for European cracks came from lower availability of US exports, which were focused on the Central and South American market. Nonetheless, cracks performed worse than the US and Asian markets, which finished the year near their Harvey highs. Cracking margins for sour crude in the Med were over 30% higher in 2017 than in 2016. Margins found strong support in higher middle distillate cracks on the back of a booming global economy. Higher margins were also needed to encourage European swing refiners to increase intake in line with surging global demand and the continued outage of a sizeable portion of Latin American refining capacity. As a result, run rates in the European Med were around 160,000 b/d higher in 2017 than in 2016. In Q3, global refining capacity became even tighter due to a hurricane season that proved much more disruptive than in 2016, reducing US crude runs in September by 1.5 million b/d relative to the prior month. However, pressure began to mount in Q4 not least due to the significant swing capacity drawn into the market. High runs saw gasoline cracks weaken while fuel oil cracks continued on a downward path that started in the summer as ample pressure came from sharply rising crude price. Mediterranean cracks were also negatively impacted by a stronger Urals market on the back of high runs and tighter availability of medium-sour supplies in the region. The discount of Urals Med to Dated Brent was around $1 per barrel, narrower in Q4 2017 than in Q4 2016. *The information is based on analysis provided by JBC Energy GmbH 3 Trade Registry No: J 13/534/1991 Q4 and preliminary results 2017 Consolidated_ENG 3

Rompetrol Rafinare computes Gross refinery margin as follows = (Oil Product Sales Cost of Feedstock) / Quantity of sales. Net Refinery margin is the EBITDA divided by quantity of sales. Gross revenues of refining segment reached USD 1.123 billion in Q4 2017 and over USD 3.479 billion in 2017 increase by 31% respectively by 20% as against the same periods last year, being mainly influenced by the volatility of international quotations of petroleum products and by the increase in the volume of products sold compared to similar periods last year. 4 Trade Registry No: J 13/534/1991 Q4 and preliminary results 2017 Consolidated_ENG 4

In Q4 2017 and in 2017, the total throughput for Petromidia refinery was 1.68 million tons, respectively 5.66 million tons, higher by 11.35%, respectively 4.71% compared with the same periods last year when the total throughput was 1.51 million tons for Q4 2016 and 5.4 million tons for 2016. The refining capacity utilization for Petromidia refinery was 102.88% in Q4 2017, respectively 85.88% in 2017, higher by 9.26%, respectively lower by 0.8% compared with the same periods last year. Petromidia refinery managed to achieve in 2017 a very good operational performance, at historically high levels for its main technological and operational parameters such as: total feedstock processed of ~5.66 mil tons - record total feedstock processed since 1979, an equivalent of 16.8 kt/day of operation total feedstock processed, 5% improvement against last year; record for white products production 4.88 mil tons; record for auto gasoline production of 1.46 mil tons; record for diesel production of 2.74 mil tons; record for propylene production of 133 kt; technological loss of 0.85%wt; jet yield (4.4 %), equivalent of 251 kt production; Energy Intensity Index 99.9% mechanical availability 96.47% operational availability 93.3%. In respect of Vega refinery (the oldest processing unit operating in Romania (since 1905) and the only domestic producer of bitumen and hexane), the total throughput was 109.357 thousand tons in Q4 2017, respectively 372.954 thousand tons in 2017, higher by 11.41 %, respectively 5.26% higher compared with the same periods last year when the total throughput was 98.153 thousand tons for Q4 2016 and 354.306 thousand tons for 2016. The refining capacity utilization for Vega refinery was 132.55% in Q4 2017 respectively 113% in 2017, higher by 13.58% respectively 5.65% higher compared with the same periods last year. Vega refinery also managed to achieve in 2017 very good operational performance results, at historical high levels, of which the following are emphasized: historical record for feedstock processed of 373 kt higher by 19 kt as against last year; historical record for Bitumen production and sales of 96 kt; historical record for ecological solvents production of 41 kt; Hexane production reached 80 kt; lowest technological loss of ~ 1%wt; The gross cash refinery margin improved in 2017 compared with last year by 20% reaching a level of 50.9 $/t as against 42.5 $/t in 2016. The company s financial results were positively influenced by favorable market conditions and by production process optimization programs (increase of processing capacity and increase of white products yields) and also influenced by operating costs optimization, programs that started in the year 2014 and successfully continued in 2015, 2016 and 2017 (out of which reduction in steam and power consumption are the most significant). Rompetrol Rafinare S.A. continued to be an important contributor to Romania s fiscal budget with over USD 385 million in Q4 2017 and over USD 1.264 billion in 2017. 5 Trade Registry No: J 13/534/1991 Q4 and preliminary results 2017 Consolidated_ENG 5
