Strategic and Operational Highlights

- Outstanding HSSE performance, with Total Recordable Case Frequency of zero
- IPO completed May 2018, admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange with a secondary listing
  on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange
- Progressing towards completion of the Engen International Holdings Limited transaction
- On track to open the targeted number of service stations and non-fuel retail outlets for the year
- Joint venture formed to become KFC's licensee in the Ivory Coast. First KFC restaurant in the country
  opened at a Shell service station
- Secured several additional aviation contracts with international and regional carriers

Christian Chammas, CEO of Vivo Energy plc, commented: "Following our successful IPO on the London and
Johannesburg Stock Exchanges in May, we are pleased to have delivered a strong set of results for the first half
of the year, during which we continued to meet our growth objectives.

"We have received further regulatory and anti-trust approvals in relation to the Engen International Holdings
Limited transaction. We continue to work on the final outstanding items whilst discussing the timing of
completion with Engen.

"Given Vivo Energy's differentiated business model, track record, exposure to Africa and the growth
opportunity it represents, the Directors remain confident in the resilience of the business and its ability to
deliver its growth objectives in the second half of the year."

FY 2018 Outlook

Overall performance for the first half of the year remained in line with the Group's objectives for the fiscal
year. We continue to expect annual volume growth to be within our target mid-single digit percentage range,
with an overall broadly stable gross cash unit margin.

Following consumer activism in Morocco across several sectors during Q2 2018, the Moroccan government
initiated dialogue with the Moroccan Petroleum Group (GPM), the industry representative body, to discuss
price regulation. Whilst discussions have taken place, at this stage no plans regarding price regulation have
been confirmed.

Vivo Energy expects to provide further updates on its medium-term objectives, reflecting the impact of the
Engen International Holdings Limited transaction, in due course.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This MD&A of financial condition and results of operations is intended to convey management's
perspective of Vivo Energy plc's ("Vivo Energy" or the "Company") operational performance and financial
condition during the periods under review, as measured under IFRS and other relevant measures. This
MD&A is intended to assist readers in understanding and interpreting the Company's interim condensed
consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements (included from page 17 onwards). The results of operations and cash

for the full fiscal year.

The Company was incorporated as a private limited company in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2018
and re-registered as a public limited company on 9 April 2018. Vivo Energy plc was incorporated in
conjunction with the pre-IPO reorganisation of the Group. On 10 May 2018, the Company listed on the
London Stock Exchange Main Market for listed securities and the Main Board of the securities exchange
operated by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange by way of secondary inward listing. References in this
MD&A to "Vivo Energy" or the "Group" or "we" or "our" mean the Company and Vivo Energy Holding
B.V. ("VEH", the holding company of the Vivo Energy Group until admission), together with its
consolidated subsidiaries and subsidiary undertakings. Therefore, the MD&A for the six-month period
ended 30 June 2018 is presented for the Group with continuity, including the impact of the IPO
reorganisation.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS AND EVENTS

Strategic and operational highlights

In the first six months of 2018, Vivo Energy achieved an outstanding HSSE performance, with
industry-led HSSE targets being exceeded for all key performance indicators and with a Total
Recordable Case Frequency of zero.

In May 2018, Vivo Energy successfully completed an initial public offering, and was admitted to
trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, with a secondary listing on the Main
Board of the securities exchange operated by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

Integration planning in relation to the acquisition of EIHL(3) is making good progress. We have
received further regulatory and anti-trust approvals. We continue to work on the final
outstanding items whilst discussing the timing of completion with Engen.

Total volumes increased by 4% year-on-year to 4,628 million litres, driven by further growth in all
business segments.

Continued Retail fuel growth was driven by existing portfolio optimisations and service station
network developments. We are on track to open the targeted number of service stations and non-
fuel retail outlets for the year.

In Non-fuel retail, a joint venture was formed (Baobab Energy Côte d'Ivoire) to become KFC's
licensee in the Ivory Coast. Following this, the first KFC restaurant opened at a Shell service station
in the Ivory Coast.

In Commercial, Vivo Energy successfully secured several additional aviation contracts with
international and regional carriers.

The Lubricants segment delivered a solid performance in terms of volume and adjusted
EBITDA growth, despite an increase in base oil prices compared to H1 2017.

(1) Refer to basis of preparation (note 1) in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
(2) Weighted average number of ordinary shares and diluted number of shares for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018 relate to
    Vivo Energy plc and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 to Vivo Energy Holding B.V.
(3) In December 2017, the Group entered into an agreement to acquire the entire share capital of EIHL, an investment company that
    holds the retail and commercial fuel operations of Engen Holdings (Pty) Limited in 10 African countries.

Financial performance

Gross cash profit was up 7% year-on-year, amounting to $344 million, primarily due to
volume growth, higher unit margins and favourable foreign currency movements.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by 8% year-on-year to $204 million, as a result of the volume growth,
strong margins and the contribution to the share of profit from our lubricants joint venture, the SVL group.

Net income of $71 million was slightly below last year (-1%) as a result of the special items, mainly
in relation to the IPO.

Adjusted net income, before the impact of special items mainly associated with IPO-related costs,
increased by 11% to $95 million year-on-year.

Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.07 per share for the first half-year of 2018.

Subsequent to the end of the period, the Board approved an interim dividend of circa $0.01 per
share, amounting to approximately $8 million.

Vivo Energy maintained a strong balance sheet with a leverage ratio(1) of 1.01x at 30 June 2018
(31 December 2017: 0.97x) and a net debt of $395 million at 30 June 2018 (31 December 2017: $366 million).

OUTLOOK

Overall performance for the first half of the year remained in line with the Group's objectives for the
fiscal year. We continue to expect annual volume growth to be within our target mid-single digit
percentage range, with an overall broadly stable gross cash unit margin.

Following consumer activism in Morocco across several sectors during Q2 2018, the Moroccan
government initiated dialogue with the Moroccan Petroleum Group (GPM), the industry representative
body, to discuss price regulation. Whilst discussions have taken place, at this stage no plans regarding
price regulation have been confirmed.

Vivo Energy expects to provide further updates on its medium-term objectives, reflecting the impact of
the EIHL transaction, in due course.

(1) The Group's leverage ratio is calculated as net debt, including lease liabilities, divided by adjusted EBITDA. At 30 June 2018, the
    leverage ratio is calculated using the last 12 months' adjusted EBITDA.

ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Volumes

Volumes increased by 4% to 4,628 million litres, resulting from further growth across all business
segments. Retail fuel, our largest segment, accounted for 57% of total volumes and increased
by 5% year-on-year. This strong business performance in Retail was driven by new service
station volumes and continued growth in the existing portfolio. Commercial volumes accounted for 42% of total volumes, an increase
of 2% year-on-year, due to exceptional performance in our sub-segments: Aviation,
Marine and LPG. Lubricants volumes accounted for 1% of total volumes and increased by 3% year-on-year.

Gross cash profit

Gross cash profit increased by $21 million, or 7% to $344 million for the first half-year compared to
$323 million in H1 2017. Gross cash profit was driven by an increase in volumes, higher margins
and favourable foreign currency movements, as well as efficient supply and distribution. Gross
cash unit margin increased by 3% to $74 per thousand litres.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $15 million or 8% year-on-year to $204 million, driven by higher
volumes and margins as well as cost control.

Contributing to the higher Adjusted EBITDA was the share of profit from our joint venture
investments. Share of profit in joint ventures amounted to $12 million, of which $6 million
relates to the share of profit from the SVL group, our lubricants joint venture, of which we acquired
a 50% shareholding in December 2017.

Selling and marketing costs were 1% higher, amounting to $90 million, mainly due to inflation
and foreign currency movements.

General and administrative cost, including special items, amounted to $103 million compared to $80
million in H1 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher non-recurring special items,(1) inflation
and foreign currency movements as well as higher employee benefit expenses in H1 2018.

Net finance expense

Net finance expense increased by $3 million or 24% to $18 million from $15 million in the first
half of 2017. This net finance expense variation was mainly driven by higher long-term borrowings
relative to the same period in 2017, as well as a foreign exchange loss due to currency
movements. In June 2017, the Company entered into a term loan facility. An incremental facility
was drawn down in December 2017 to fund the acquisition of the participation in the SVL
group. The term loan facility carries interest of Libor plus a margin of 2.5% per annum. The
incremental facility has interest of Libor plus a margin of 2.5% for the amortised portion and
Libor plus a margin of 3% for the bullet portion. The Group manages exposure to cash flow
interest rate risk on long-term borrowings using interest rate swaps, resulting in a fixed interest
rate of funding of approximately 4%.

Income taxes

For the six-month period ended 30 June 2018, ETR decreased to 37.4% from 38.4% compared to
the comparative period of 2017. The decrease is mainly attributable to less withholding tax 
and higher non-taxable income.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

The Retail segment continued to drive the strong performance of our business and represented 59%
of the Group's adjusted EBITDA. Volumes grew by 5%, gross cash profit increased by 7% and adjusted
EBITDA was higher by 9% year-on-year.

Retail fuel

Retail fuel is at the heart of our growth story and achieved a 5% increase in volumes.

Higher volumes were fuelled by service station network development, which strongly
contributed to the overall portfolio growth. Continued maximum extraction of value from
existing service stations resulted in the optimisation of the existing portfolio, in line with
our objectives.

The strong performance of our existing portfolio was further supported by marketing and
operational excellence initiatives.

Gross cash unit margin (excluding Non-fuel retail) increased by 2% to $78 per thousand litres.
Related gross cash profit increased by 6% to $206 million, driven by higher volumes, strong margins
and favourable currency movements.

Non-fuel retail

Non-fuel retail gross cash profit increased to $11 million, or 22% year-on-year, driven by new
outlet openings and greater value extraction from existing outlets.

Quick service restaurants are key to growth in this segment and we continue to roll out our
strategy of bringing more food brands to our service stations. During the period, international

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

Aviation, Marine and LPG contributed strongly to higher volumes partly offset by slightly lower
Commercial fuel performance. Gross cash unit margin was higher at $47 per thousand litres compared
to $44 per thousand litres in H1 2017 and gross cash profit increased by 11%.

Core commercial

Core commercial comprises LPG and bulk fuel sales to customers in industries such as
transportation, mining, construction, power and consumers for packed LPG. Core commercial
accounted for 74% (H1 2017: 77%) of total Commercial volumes and 83% (H1 2017: 88%) of
total Commercial gross cash profit.

Gross cash profit was 5% higher, despite a decrease in volumes (1% year-on-year).
Commercial volumes were negatively impacted by lower fuel demand, as some key power sector
customers increasingly relied on hydro power in the rainy season, and certain government construction 
projects were delayed. LPG volumes increased year-on-year, driven by the development of the 
distributers' networks and the expansion of point of sale coverage.

Gross cash unit margin increased by 6% to $53 per thousand litres, driven by the development of
customer value propositions and strategically targeting profitable growth in high margin sectors.
Cost management, as well as efficient supply and distribution, especially in LPG, further contributed
to higher margins and increased gross cash profit.

Aviation and Marine

Aviation and Marine accounted for 26% (H1 2017: 23%) of total Commercial volumes and
17% (H1 2017: 12%) of total Commercial gross cash profit.

Aviation and Marine volumes grew by 14% year- on-year. Gross cash unit margin increased by 33%
year-on-year to $31 per thousand litres.

Aviation was positively impacted by the tourism sector. Vivo Energy successfully secured several
additional aviation contracts with international and regional carriers. Spot sales and increasing
crude oil prices resulted in higher Aviation unit margins.

Marine volumes increased due to an increase in large-scale tankers bunkering in one of our
countries. In other countries, ongoing efforts to secure opportunistic spot sales at favourable
pricing had a positive impact on both margins and volumes.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

Adjusted EBITDA for the Lubricants segment increased by 10% to $25 million, mainly attributable to
our SVL joint venture that ensures a partnership across the value chain. Lubricants accounted for 13%
of the Group's adjusted EBITDA.

Retail lubricants

Retail lubricants comprise sales to Retail customers and B2C sales. Retail lubricants
accounted for 60% (H1 2017: 59%) of total Lubricants volumes and 62% (H1 2017: 61%) of
total Lubricants gross cash profit.

Volumes grew 4% year-on-year driven by successful marketing campaigns and tactical
initiatives such as lube bays and oil specialist offerings at service stations. In the first half of
2018, full growth potential was slightly limited due to lower than expected efficiencies of some of our distributers. 
Unit margin decreased to $547 from $598 per thousand litres, as a result of an increase in base oil prices, offset 
by favourable foreign exchange movements. In response to the increase in base oil prices, active price management in line
with the pricing strategy was initiated and marketing activities were focused on selling an
optimised sales mix of premium products that ensure higher margins.

Commercial lubricants

Commercial lubricants comprise sales to commercial customers and export sales to more
than 10 African countries. Commercial lubricants accounted for 40% (H1 2017: 41%) of total
Lubricants volumes and 38% (H1 2017: 39%) of total Lubricants gross cash profit.

Volumes grew 1% despite postponement of some construction projects. Activity in the Commercial
lubricants segment is expected to increase during the second part of the year.

Unit margins are at $518 in 2018 from $560 per thousand litres compared to the prior period,
attributable to the increase in the base oil prices, partially offset by favourable foreign exchange
movements.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL POSITION

Total assets

Total assets, including foreign currency movements, increased by $132 million and can largely be explained by:

- $85 million increase in other assets, mainly driven by other government benefits receivable, principally
  as a result of the timing of payments;
- $97 million increase in inventories due to higher crude oil prices as well as the timing of purchases
  and shipments. Average monthly inventory days for the period was 22 days;
- $57 million increase in trade receivables driven by increased sales volumes and higher crude oil prices.
  Average monthly DSO 1 for the period was 16 days.

Partially offset by:

- $107 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, mainly due to repayments of borrowings,
  investments in PP&E and intangible assets as well as current income taxes paid.

Equity and liabilities

Total equity and liabilities, including foreign currency ovements, increased by $132 million and can largely
be explained by:

-  $194 million increase in trade payables, mostly due to an increase in crude oil prices and the timing of
   purchases and shipments. Average monthly DPO(1) for the period was 56 days.

Partially offset by:

-  $42 million repayment of long-term debt;
-  $23 million decrease in other liabilities, relating to payments of employees' annual and long-term
   incentives as well as the settlement of the current portion of the Management Equity Plan.

(1) DPO and DSO are based on monthly averages and on trade elements only.

Free cash outflow after income tax of $3 million in the first half of 2018 was negatively impacted by special
items(1) and is explained by our significant investments in PP&E and intangible assets of $59 million compared
to $38 million in the first half-year of 2017. We have continued to significantly invest into our retail service
station network, which will positively contribute to our future growth. Further progress was made on our
IT-related projects, such as the SAP implementation, resulting in a cash outflow of approximately
$12 million. Furthermore, we paid income tax in the amount of $62 million in the first half of 2018. Cash
outflows for our investments in fixed assets and income tax paid were offset by a cash inflow from
operating activities before income tax of $118 million due to our strong business performance in H1 2018.
The "Net change in operating assets and liabilities and other adjustments" amounts to a cash outflow of
$36 million, principally as a result of an increase in other assets, which was partly compensated by a
positive net change in our working capital such as inventories, trade receivables and trade payables. The
increase in other assets mainly relates to the timing of payments of other government benefits receivable
for local subsidies. After the end of the reporting period, the Company received cash of $40 million in the
month of July 2018 for the other government benefits receivable.

Net debt at 30 June 2018 increased slightly to $395 million from $366 million at 31 December 2017. The
increase was primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease in long-
term debt as a result of scheduled repayments and a decrease in lease liabilities.

The leverage ratio(1) increased to 1.01x at 30 June 2018 from 0.97x at 31 December 2017. In May 2018,
the Company established a new multi-currency revolving credit facility of $300 million.(2) This credit facility
remains fully undrawn and resulted in available short-term capital resources of $1,655 million compared
to $1,184 million at 31 December 2017.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We believe that providing certain Non-GAAP financial measures in addition to IFRS measures provides
users of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements with enhanced understanding of results
and related trends, and increases the transparency and clarity of the core results of our business.

Non-GAAP financial measures are derived from the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
but do not have standardised meanings prescribed by IFRS. The exclusion of certain items from Non-
GAAP performance measures does not imply that these items are necessarily non-recurring. From time
to time, we may exclude additional items if we believe doing so would result in a more transparent and
comparable disclosure.

This Interim report is based on reported numbers in accordance with IFRS and the following Non-GAAP

    the JSE Limited by way of secondary inward listing. All IPO-related expenses are considered to be special items. Furthermore, on
    4 December 2017, the Company agreed to enter into a sale and purchase agreement with Engen Holdings (Pty) Limited ("Engen
    Holdings"), a 100% subsidiary of Engen Limited, in relation to the purchase of shares in Engen International Holdings (Mauritius)
    Limited ("Engen International Holdings Limited") for the exchange of a shareholding in Vivo Energy, with a cash element. This
    transaction is subject to regulatory approval. Related integration project expenses are treated as special items.
(2) Refer to basis of preparation (note 1) in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
(3) Weighted average number of ordinary shares and diluted number of shares for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018 relate
    to Vivo Energy plc and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017 to Vivo Energy Holding B.V.

ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING DEVELOPMENTS

In 2017, the Group elected to early-adopt IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", IFRS 15 "Revenue from
Contracts with Customers", and IFRS 16 "Leases". The early adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 had an
insignificant impact on the Group's financial position. The IFRS 16 early adoption had a material impact on
the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, an immaterial impact on the Consolidated Statement of
Comprehensive Income and no impact on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow. The full
retrospective adoption of the standard led to the restatement of comparative figures. Refer to our annual
financial statements as of 31 December 2017. There are no other standards, amendments and
interpretations which are effective for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2018 that have a material
impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

CONTROL AND PROCEDURES

Our approach to internal controls includes a number of general and specific processes and policies that
have been developed based on detailed risk assessment at Group and local level. The key controls are
linked to the main business processes such as the revenue and receivables cycle, procure-to-pay cycle,
inventory, capital expenditure management as well as information technology systems. The objectives of
these controls are to ensure structured investment decision making, quality and timely reporting, cost
optimisation as well as intended innovative ways of creating and protecting value.

The internal control framework includes daily, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and annual monitoring
mechanisms to ensure the control environment continues to be designed and operates effectively. The
internal control function works closely with the internal audit team in carrying out their monitoring role,
which is linked to performance appraisals. There were no significant changes to the internal controls
framework in the reporting period.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

In December 2015, the Government of Morocco deregulated fuel prices. Following consumer activism in
Morocco across several sectors during Q2 2018, the government initiated discussions with the Moroccan
Petroleum Group (GPM), the industry representative body, to discuss price regulation. Whilst discussions
have taken place, at this stage no plans regarding price regulation have been confirmed. During the first
half of 2018 Retail fuels in Morocco contributed 22% to Group's adjusted EBITDA compared to 29% for
the full-year 2017. Our 2019 guidance at IPO already reflected a $3/'000 litres decrease in overall Retail
gross cash unit margin, representing an estimated impact of approximately $15 million on adjusted
EBITDA, based on 2019 targeted Retail volumes.

Completion of the EIHL transaction is subject to satisfaction (or waiver, where applicable) of certain
conditions, including regulatory anti-trust approvals and non-objection. In the Democratic Republic of
Congo, a Government Ministry on 2 May 2018 filed a motion in the DRC courts asserting a right of pre-
emption in respect of EIHL's shareholding in Engen DRC S.A. (in which the Government holds a 40%
stake) which, if maintained, would have the effect of preventing the transfer of Engen DRC S.A. to the
Group. Engen DRC S.A. constitutes a material part of the EIHL Group. On the advice of counsel, the
Directors believe that this claim has no legal basis. The Company continues to work with the EIHL Group
to resolve this issue prior to the completion of the EIHL transaction. If the Company is unable to resolve
the matter to its satisfaction it may, amongst other things, look to exercise its rights and remedies under
the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement, which, depending on the circumstances, could include exercising
its right to terminate the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement.

Apart from the above, the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Company are expected to remain
largely consistent with those described in the Vivo Energy plc Prospectus published on 4 May 2018.

Effective 13 June 2018, the Company completed a court-approved reduction of capital. The purpose of
the reduction of capital was to provide distributable reserves which will allow the Company to make
future dividend payments. Following the reduction of capital, the number of issued shares and the rights
attached to those shares remained unchanged. The nominal value of the ordinary shares in the capital of
the Company was reduced by $1.00 from $1.50 to $0.50.

Subsequent to the end of the period, the Board approved an interim dividend of circa $0.01 per share,
amounting to approximately $8 million. The dividend is expected to be paid on 17 September 2018 to
shareholders of record at close of business on 17 August 2018. The dividend will be paid out of
distributable reserves as at 30 June 2018.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of preparation

Vivo Energy plc ("Vivo Energy" or the "Company") was incorporated as a private limited company in the
United Kingdom on 12 March 2018 and re-registered as a public limited company on 9 April 2018. Vivo
Energy plc was incorporated in conjunction with the pre-IPO reorganisation of the Group. On 10 May
2018 the Company listed on the London Stock Exchange Main Market for listed securities and the Main
Board of the securities exchange operated by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange by way of secondary
inward listing.

References in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements to "Vivo Energy" or the "Group"
mean the Company and Vivo Energy Holding B.V. ("VEH", the holding company of the Vivo Energy Group
until admission), together with its consolidated subsidiaries and subsidiary undertakings. Therefore, the
interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended 30 June
2018 are presented for the Group with continuity, including the impact of the IPO reorganisation.

Effective 13 June 2018, the Company completed a court-approved reduction of capital. The purpose of
the reduction of capital was to provide distributable reserves which will allow the Company to make
future dividend payments. Following the reduction of capital, the number of issued shares and the rights
attached to those shares remained unchanged. The nominal value of the ordinary shares in the capital of
the Company was reduced by $1.00 from $1.50 to $0.50.

The Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting Standards" as adopted by the European Union. The interim
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention
unless otherwise indicated.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for
the year ended 31 December 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the
European Union.

2. Significant changes in the current and future reporting period

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual
periods beginning after 1 January 2018.

IFRS 2 "Amendments to Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions" clarifies
the following:

- In estimating the fair value of cash-settled share-based payments, the accounting for the effects of
  vesting and non-vesting conditions should follow the same approach as for equity-settled share-based
  payments;

- Where tax law or regulation require an entity to withhold a specified number of equity instruments
  equal to the monetary value of the employees' tax obligation, which is then remitted to the tax
  authority, such an arrangement should be classified as equity-settled in its entirety, provided it would
  have been classified as equity-settled in absence of the net settlement feature;

- A modification of share-based payment that changes the transaction from cash-settled to equity-
  settled should be accounted for as (1) a derecognition of the original liability; (2) recognition of an
  equity-settled share-based payment at the modification date; and (3) any differences between the
  carrying amount of the liability at the modification date and the amount recognised in equity should
  be recognised in profit or loss.

The Group already applies these amendments.

IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" and IAS 28 "Amendments to Sale or Contribution of Assets
between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture" deals with situations where there is a sale or
contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture and the treatment of gains
or losses from such transactions. The IASB has not confirmed the effective date of this amendment;
however, early application is permitted. The Group does not anticipate that the application of these
amendments will have an impact on the Group's financial statements in future periods should such
transactions arise.

IFRIC 22 "Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration" addresses how to determine the
"date of transaction" for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of an
asset, expense or income, when consideration for that item has been paid or received in advance in a
foreign currency which resulted in the recognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability.

The Group already accounts for transactions involving the payment or receipt of advance consideration
in a foreign currency that is consistent with IFRIC 22 amendments.

IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" provides additional guidance on the determination
of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is
uncertainty over income tax treatments under IAS 12. The Group has to determine the impact, if any, on
the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Group does not anticipate that the application of these amendments will have an impact on the
Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

There are no IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a
material impact on the Group.

The Group has classified equity investments as financial instruments at FVTOCI (without recycling). These
investments are measured using inputs for the asset or liability that are in the absence of observable
market data, based on net asset value of the related investments (level 3 in the IFRS 13 fair value
measurement hierarchy). Since the value is based on the net asset value of the related investments, no
sensitivity analysis is presented.

(1) Other liabilities (note 12) exclude the following elements that do not qualify as financial instruments: other tax payable 
    and deferred income.
(2) Other assets (note 9) exclude the following elements that do not qualify as financial instruments: prepayments, VAT and duties
    receivable and other government benefits receivable.

4. Segment reporting

The Group operates under three reportable segments: Retail, Commercial and Lubricants.

Retail segment - Retail fuel is aggregated with Non-fuel revenue. Both the operating segments derive
revenue from retail customers who visit our retail sites. Retail fuel and Non-fuel revenues are aggregated
as the segments are managed as one unit and have similar customers. The economic indicators that have
been addressed in determining that the aggregated segments have similar economic characteristics are
that they have similar expected future financial performance and similar operating and competitive risks.

Commercial segment - Commercial fuel, LPG, Aviation and Marine are aggregated in the Commercial
segment as the operating segments derive revenues from commercial customers. The segments have
similar economic characteristics. The economic indicators that have been addressed are the long-term
growth and average long-term gross margin percentage.

Lubricants segment - Retail, B2C, B2B and Export Lubricants are the remaining operating segments.
Since these operating segments meet the majority of aggregation criteria, they are aggregated in the
Lubricants segment.

The segmented information is prepared using the same accounting policies as those described in the annual
consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2017.

The following table presents revenues and profit information regarding the Group's operating segments:

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures

We believe that including certain Non-GAAP financial measures in addition to IFRS measures provides
users of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements with enhanced understanding of results
and related trends and increases the transparency and clarity of the core results of our business. Non-
GAAP financial measures are derived from the interim condensed consolidated financial statements but
do not have standardised meanings prescribed by IFRS. The exclusion of certain items from Non-GAAP
performance measures does not imply that these items are necessarily non-recurring. From time to time,
we may exclude additional items if we believe doing so would result in a more transparent and comparable disclosure.

Gross cash profit, the Group defines Gross cash profit as gross profit before depreciation and
amortisation expense. Adjusted EBITDA, the Group defines EBITDA as earnings before tax, finance
expense, finance income, depreciation and amortisation. Adjusted EBITDA is arrived at by making further
adjustments to EBITDA for special items. Special items represent income or charges that are not
considered to represent the underlying operational performance and, based on their significance in size
or nature, are presented separately to provide further understanding of the financial performance of the
Group. Headline earnings, the Group defines Headline earnings as earnings based on net income
attributable to owners of the Group, before items of a capital nature, net of income tax.

Contingencies

Management has prepared a best estimate of its contingent liabilities that should be recognised in respect
of legal claims in the course of ordinary business. Some of the claims will be compensated by an indemnity
obtained from the former Shareholder (Shell). Should these cases be determined against the relevant Vivo
Energy Entity, such entity will be indemnified by the former Shareholder. An indemnification asset of $8m
(2017: $10m), equivalent to the fair value of the contingencies provided for by the Group in respect of
the indemnified claims that have been recognised.

In many markets there is a high degree of complexity involved in the local tax regimes. In common with
other business operating in this environment the Group is required to exercise judgement in the
assessment of any potential exposures in these areas. Where appropriate, the Group will make provisions
or disclose contingencies in accordance with the relevant accounting principles.

15. Management Equity Plan

In 2013, Vivo Energy Holding granted to certain senior managers and other senior employees phantom
options which entitled option holders to a cash payment based on the value of Vivo Energy Holding shares
upon exercise of their phantom options. Under the terms of the phantom options, all outstanding
phantom options would become fully exercisable upon admission.

However, the option holders have agreed to amend the terms of their outstanding phantom options such
that 30% of the outstanding phantom options became deemed to be exercised at admission and 70% will
become exercisable on the first anniversary of admission for a period of 12 months. Under the amended
terms, the option holders' entitlement to the cash payment is based on the market value of the shares at
the time of exercise net of a nominal per share exercise price.

The Management Equity Plan related liability as at 30 June 2018 amounted to $34m (31 December 2017: $49m).

16. Events after balance sheet period

Subsequent to the end of the period, the Board approved an interim dividend of circa $0.01 per share,
amounting to approximately $8 million. The dividend is expected to be paid on 17 September 2018 to
shareholders of record at close of business on 17 August 2018. The dividend will be paid out of
distributable reserves as at 30 June 2018.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

The Directors confirm that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union and that
the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7 and DTR
4.2.8, namely:

- An indication of important events that have occurred during the first six months and their impact
  on the condensed set of financial statements, and a description of the principal risks and
  uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year;
- Material related party transactions that have taken place in the first six months of the current
  financial year and that have materially affected the financial position or performance of the entity
  during that period; and any changes in the related party transactions described in the last annual
  report that could do so.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT

Report on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed Vivo Energy plc's interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the "interim
financial statements") in the Interim Report of Vivo Energy plc for the 6-month period and 3-month period
ended 30 June 2018. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with
International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union
and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial
Conduct Authority.

What we have reviewed

The interim financial statements comprise:

- the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018;
- the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the 6-month and 3-month periods then ended;
- the consolidated statement of cash flows for the period then ended;
- the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period then ended; and
- the explanatory notes to the interim financial statements.

The interim financial statements included in the Interim Report have been prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the European Union
and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial
Conduct Authority.

As disclosed in note 1 to the interim financial statements, the financial reporting framework that has been
applied in the preparation of the full annual financial statements of the Group is applicable law and
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

Responsibilities for the interim financial statements and the review

Our responsibilities and those of the directors

The Interim Report, including the interim financial statements, is the responsibility of, and has been
approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the Interim Report in accordance
with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial
Conduct Authority.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements in the Interim Report
based on our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the
company for the purpose of complying with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook
of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this
conclusion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this
report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

What a review of interim financial statements involves

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and
Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity' issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial
information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards
on Auditing (UK) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware
of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We have read the other information contained in the Interim Report and considered whether it contains
any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the interim financial
statements.
