Paris, November 10, 2004 - The Board of Directors of Total, chaired by CEO
Thierry Desmarest met on November 9, 2004 to review the consolidated accounts
for the third quarter 2004.
Net income adjusted for special items rose to 2,380 million euros (M€) in the
third quarter 2004, an increase of 39% compared to the third quarter 2003.
Expressed in dollars, the increase was 51%.
Commenting on the results, Thierry Desmarest said:
'In the third quarter 2004, growing concern over the tight supply-demand
situation drove oil prices to new highs. European refining margins increased
sharply compared to the third quarter last year, mainly because of strong fuel
demand in the Atlantic Basin. In addition, the market conditions for
petrochemicals improved despite the high price of raw materials.
The strong increase in Total's results reflects primarily an improvement in the
market environment affecting the company. The benefit of the underlying 4%
production growth for the quarter was largely offset by the scheduled summer
shut-down program in the North Sea. The Downstream and Chemicals segments
continued to grow their activities and implement self-help programs.
Our strong earnings and profitability performance, which continues to be among
the best in the industry, demonstrates the capacity of Total to fully benefit
from this environment of high oil prices and from the strong production growth
over the past five years.
Over the first nine months of 2004, Total invested 6.7 billion dollars, an
increase in investment in line with its target for the year.'

Third quarter 2004 results
Compared to the third quarter 2003, the third quarter 2004 oil market
environment was marked by a sharp increase in the price of crude oil (+46% for
Brent) and European refining margins (+125% for TRCV). Market conditions for
petrochemicals improved despite the high price of raw materials.
The 8% decrease in the value of the dollar relative to the euro partially offset
the positive impact of the improved market environment on the results of the
business segments.
In this more favorable context, operating income from the business segments
adjusted for special items increased by 52% to 4,473 M€ compared to 2,939 M€ in
the third quarter 2003. There were no special items affecting operating income
from the business segments for the two periods.
Net operating income from the business segments adjusted for special items rose
to 2,245 M€, a 43% increase from 1,570 M€ in the third quarter 2003. Compared to
the increase in operating income, this lesser increase is due to a higher
effective tax rate in the third quarter 2004 compared to the third quarter 2003.
Net income adjusted for special items was 2,380 M€, a 39% increase from 1,710 M€
in the third quarter 2003. Special items affecting net income in the third
quarter 2004 were related to restructuring charges in the Chemicals for 12 M€.
There were no special items in the third quarter 2003.
During the third quarter 2004, the Group bought back 4.1 million of its shares
for 0.7 billion euros. At September 30, 2004 there were 613.3 million fully-
diluted shares compared to 627.9 million a year ago and 616.9 million at June
30, 2004.
Earnings per share adjusted for special items, based on 614.2 million fully-
diluted weighted-average shares, rose to 3.87 euros in the third quarter 2004
from 2.71 euros in the third quarter 2003, an increase of 43%, which is a higher
percentage increase than for net income thanks to the accretive impact of share
buybacks over the past twelve months.
Reported net income rose to 2,368 M€ from 1,710 M€ in the third quarter 2003.
The net-debt-to-equity ratio was 22.2% at September 30, 2004 compared to 28.5%
at June 30, 2004 and 25.6% at September 30, 2003.
Cash flow from operating activities rose to 4,035 M€, an increase of 24%
compared to the third quarter 2003. Excluding disbursements related to the
Toulouse-AZF reserve of 65 M€ in the third quarter 2004 and 302 M€ in the third
quarter 2003, cash flow from operating activities increased by 15%.
Investments were 1,927 M€, or approximately 2.4 B$. Divestments in the third
quarter 2004, based on selling price, were 185 M€.
Net cash flow(1) was 2,293 M€ compared to 1,483 M€ for the same period last
year.

'Exploration & Production' results; 3Q03 and the first nine months 2003 included

Operating income from the Upstream segment adjusted for special items increased
by 36% to 3,406 M€ in the third quarter 2004 from 2,502 M€ in the third quarter
2003. This strong performance reflects the positive impact of higher hydrocarbon
prices, more so for oil than for gas, which was partially offset by further
weakness in the dollar relative to the euro.
Net operating income from the Upstream segment adjusted for special items
increased by 23% to 1,527 M€. This more moderate increase, relative to the
increase in operating income, is due to an increase in the average tax rate
compared to the third quarter 2003. The higher rate stems primarily from an
increase in the share of production coming from concessions in Nigeria and a
decrease in the share of production from the UK North Sea related to larger
shut-downs in the third quarter 2004.
The decrease in Upstream cash flow from operating activities was due mainly to
changes in working capital in the third quarter 2004.
Hydrocarbon production was 2,479 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day
(kboe/d), a decrease of 2.5% compared to 2,542 kboe/d in the third quarter 2003.
Production was affected by scheduled North Sea shut-downs, which had a larger
impact in 2004 than in 2003, and, to a lesser extent, hurricane damage in the
Gulf of Mexico.
Reported production also includes the negative impact on entitlement volumes of
higher hydrocarbon prices on production sharing contracts.
Excluding these two elements, underlying production growth was about 4%, thanks
to increases at Amenam in Nigeria and Matterhorn in the Gulf of Mexico as well
as higher production in Libya, Algeria, Bolivia, Venezuela and Qatar.
Liquids production increased by 1% to 1,674 thousand barrels per day (kb/d) in
the third quarter 2004 from 1,654 kb/d in the same quarter last year.
Gas production decreased by 9% to 4,386 million cubic feet per day (Mcf/d) in
the third quarter 2004 from 4,831 Mcf/d in the third quarter 2003, essentially
as a result of scheduled shut-downs in the North Sea.
Several exploration successes were announced in the third quarter 2004,
including a discovery on the Kairan structure (Total 20.4%(3)) in the Caspian
Sea offshore Kazakhstan, the Laggan gas field (Total-operated 50%) in the UK
North Sea, the Mer Tres Profonde Sud permit (Total-operated 40%) in the Republic
of Congo, a discovery west of the Usan field (Total-operated 20%) offshore
Nigeria, and the discovery of gas on the Ipati block (Total-operated 80%) in
Bolivia.
In addition, Total acquired a 39.9% interest in a North Bali deep-offshore
exploration block in Indonesia as well as three new permits near the Laggan
discovery in the UK North Sea.
The third development phase of the Al Khalij oil field in Qatar started
production (Total-operated, 100%).
In Angola, development of the Rosa field on Block 17 (Total-operated, 40%) was
launched. Production start-up is expected in the first half of 2007, which will
increase and extend the production plateau of the Girassol FPSO.
Efforts to expand Total's LNG business progressed with the decision by the
shareholders of Nigeria LNG (Total, 15%) to build the sixth train, with
liquefaction capacity of 4.1 million tons per year (Mt/y), at the Bonny plant.
During the third quarter, Total announced an agreement to acquire 25% plus one
share of Novatek, the second-largest gas producer in Russia. This acquisition
will allow Total to move forward with its strategy to participate in the
development of the Russian resource base.
In mid-stream gas activities, Total and Gaz de France announced on October 18
the finalization of agreements to unwind their cross-shareholding in Gaz du
Sud-Ouest (GSO) and Compagnie France du Methane (CFM) and to give access to
Total to 2.25 billion cubic meters per year (Bm3/y), or nearly 220 Mcf/d, of net
regasification capacity in the Fos Cavaou terminal which is currently under
construction in the south of France.
On November 9, Total announced that it has reserved regasification capacity of
10 Bm3/y (approximately 1 Bcf/d) over a period of 20 years starting in 2009 at
the Sabine Pass LNG regasification terminal project on the Louisiana Gulf Coast.

'Refining & Marketing' results; 3Q03 and the first nine months 2003 included
the entire equity share of Cepsa's results in Downstream net operating income
Operating income from the Downstream segment adjusted for special items
increased by 124% to 752 M€ in the third quarter 2004 from 335 M€ in the third
quarter 2003.
The increase was due primarily to the improvement in the Downstream environment.
Continued tightness in the market for fuel products in the Atlantic Basin drove
refining margins sharply higher throughout the region. Further weakness in the
dollar against the euro and lower European marketing margins due to the strong
and rapid increase in the price of refined products slightly offset the benefit
of better refining margins.
Ongoing self-help programs continued to have a positive impact on Downstream
results.
Refinery throughput increased to 2,516 kb/d, an increase of 1% compared to the
third quarter 2003. The utilization rate was 93% in the third quarter 2004.
Turnarounds on five refineries, most of these being partial turnarounds, were
launched in September and continued into the fourth quarter.
Net operating income from the Downstream segment adjusted for special items
increased to 521 M€ in the third quarter 2004 from 287 M€ in the same quarter
last year. The 82% increase is lower than the increase in operating income
primarily because of the change in the method of allocating Cepsa's results to
all the business segments, instead of entirely to the Downstream segment, which
began in the fourth quarter 2003. If the reallocation had taken place in the
third quarter 2003, the increase would have been 114%.
In October, Total announced a joint-venture with Sinochem for the creation of a
200-station network in northern China where the two companies are already
partners in the Dalian refinery.
As part of its strategy for targeted development in the Caribbean, Total
acquired a network of service stations in Puerto Rico that represents about 6%
market share.

Chemicals segment sales were 5,228 M€ compared to 4,182 M€ in the third quarter
2003, an increase of 25%.
Operating income adjusted for special items increased sharply to 315 M€ from
102 M€ in the third quarter 2003.
This performance is due primarily to an improvement in the environment for
petrochemicals and to the positive impacts of increased sales volume and
productivity programs implemented throughout the segment.
Base chemicals benefited from a rebound in petrochemical margins compared to the
third quarter 2003, notably in Europe, and despite the high level of naphtha
prices around the world. Improved product demand and a reduction in downtime led
to higher utilization rates of the steamcrackers.
Intermediate activities began to show improvement despite higher raw material
costs and the weaker dollar.
Specialties delivered solid results thanks to the benefits of growth and
self-help programs.
Net operating income adjusted for special items rose to 197 M€ from 42 M€ in the
same period last year.
Arkema, the new entity comprised of vinyl products, industrial chemicals, and
performance products, was launched on October 1. Already Arkema has a dedicated
management team and is expected to become an independent entity in 2006(6).

labor representatives
Nine months 2004 results
For the first nine months of 2004, Total benefited from an overall more
favorable environment as compared to last year.
Hydrocarbon prices increased, more for oil (+27% for Brent to 36.4 $/b) than for
gas.
European refining margins increased sharply (+38% for TRCV to 29.6 $/t). By
contrast, the dollar declined relative to the euro by 10% to 1.23 $/€ on average
compared to 1.11 $/€ on average for the first nine months of 2003.
The environment for the Chemicals improved progressively over the first nine
months of 2004. In the third quarter, demand improved to a level that
effectively offset the impact of high raw material prices and weakness in the
dollar.
In this context, operating income from the business segments adjusted for
special items increased by 23% to 12,046 M€ compared to the 9,795 M€ for the
first nine months in 2003. There were no special items affecting operating
income in either period.
Net operating income from the business segments adjusted for special items
increased by 18% to 6,288 M€ in the first nine months of 2004 from 5,340 M€ in
the first nine months of 2003.
Net income adjusted for special items was 6,520 M€, an increase of 16% compared
to the same period last year.
The impact of special items on net income was -145 M€ for the first nine months
of 2004 and -162 M€ for the first nine months of 2003.
During the first nine months of 2004, the Group bought back 16.5 million of its
shares, or about 2.5% of its capital, for 2.6 B€. In October, Total continued
buying back shares, adding another 1.7 million shares for 0.28 B€.
For the first nine months of 2004, earnings per share adjusted for special items
and based on 618.5 million fully-diluted weighted-average shares, rose to 10.54
euros from 8.77 euros in the same period last year, an increase of 20%, which
reflects the accretive impact of the share repurchases by the Group.
Net income was 6,375 M€ compared to 5,435 M€ in the first nine months of 2003.
Key operational data for the first nine months of 2004 include:
- hydrocarbon production increased by 2% to 2,571 kboe/d from 2,522 kboe/d;
excluding the price effect and the impact of the larger shut-downs in the
North Sea, the underlying growth rate for production was 5%,
- refinery throughput increased by 2% to 2,501 kb/d from 2,441 kb/d,
- Chemicals segment sales increased by 14% to 14,797 M€ from 12,925 M€.
Investments were 5,476 M€ (72% allocated for Upstream), or about 6.7 B$.
Divestments for the first nine months of 2004, based on selling price, were
538 M€ and included sales of non-strategic Upstream assets.
Net cash flow was 5,803 M€ in the first nine months of 2004.
Cancellation of outstanding shares
The Board of Directors, meeting on November 9, 2004, approved the cancellation
of 19,873,932 shares effective November 20, 2004. On that date the share capital
will be adjusted as well to 6,326,791,340 euros represented by 632,679,134
shares with a nominal value of 10 euros. This cancellation restores the Group's
capacity for share buybacks.
Interim dividend
Net income for TOTAL S.A., the parent company, was 2,145 M€ for the first nine
months of 2004 compared to 1,940 M€ for the same period last year. The Board of
Directors met on November 9, 2004 and, after closing the accounts, approved an
interim 2004 dividend in the amount of 2.40 euros payable on November 24, 2004,
to which will be added the avoir fiscal (French tax credit) pursuant to the
terms in force.
Summary and outlook
The return on average capital employed for the Group (ROACE) for the period
October 1, 2003 to September 30, 2004 was 22%. Return on equity (ROE) was 28%
for the same period.
The annualized third quarter 2004 ROACE was 25%.
Total is pursuing its investment program in line with its 2004 budget of $10
billion, giving priority to the development of Upstream activities.
Since the beginning of the fourth quarter, the oil market environment has
remained very tight. Oil prices and refining margins have stayed at high levels.
