Our rating is supported by Galp’s scale of operations as an integrated oil & gas company with strong market share in downstream activity in Portugal as well as a presence in Spain. The refining & mar-keting (R&M) segment generates strong free cashflow, alongside the gas & power (G&P) segment. Explora-tion & production (E&P) is using cashflow for the development of oil production in Brazil. The impact of the low oil prices environment has been mitigated by a rebound of refining margins in Europe and low production costs in E&P. Galp’s net leverage decreased to 1.1x from 1.8x in 2Q16 on the back of the profitability in-crease and debt reduction arising from the deconsolidation of its regulated infrastructure business (GGND) in the second half of 2016.
