less right now. problem fromther the refining industry. businesstable polymer in the second half. now, automotive industries slightly coming back. there is an upside. it depends whether or not we do see a second corona wave. nejra: absolutely. now, on the subject of other industries other than oil and gas, your borealis deal should help the shift from oil and gas into plastics for omv, but leverage is set to rise for the long-term target of 80% as a result of that deal, so you could say asset sales are crucial. what is the status on asset sales? rainer: first of all, we have a healthy and strong balance sheet. if you look at our cash position, we are talking 8 billion. we have undrawn credit

facilities. we have the financial muscles, but you are absolutely right. our divestments should go on. we are well on track. i think we will announce the results of our negotiations in the second half of this year. i planned that this will be part of my leveraging of our situation, so we will have a temporary -- but we will work hard. we will be complying with our targets. you mentioned covid-19 a little earlier in terms of the outlook. what does the pandemic mean for consumer demand for plastics around the world? is your borealis investment case still valid? rainer: it is extremely good. it tells us plastic is really saving lives. what we can see is that especially in health care, the mask is just the polymer business. we are talking about people now

changing their mind, that they would like to have -- and that should make a stamp on it that it is corona free. that is what customers are telling me. especially the health care sectors, going good. they are now recovering. borealis is delivering very stable, very good demand, and the internationalization is a proof of concept and i see the value of or, especially in an integrated picture of omv. we have the refineries 10% more than the average in europe. into -- and that is a competitive advantage. nejra: can i ask about north stream 2? do you think a collective e.u. response to the u.s. sanctions is coming? rainer: i do hope so.

understand how and what kind of answer they want to give. nejra: we are getting through a lot of topics today. i really appreciate your dexterity during this interview. i want to ask about diversity because omv is actually a leader in terms of diversity among its peers. you have 40% of the current board being female. talk to me a little bit about your future diversity plans and the impact it is having on the business. rainer: i think when we talk about diversity, is not only the topic of gender. i think it is internationalism, what is the centerpiece. omv as anare international company, it should be reflected also in our so inalities within omv, am focused on internationalization and diversity. 40% is a good number, but we should strive at least for equality. strive for equality.

thank you so much for joining us, rainer seele, ceo of owen vp at pleasure to catch up with you as always. let's continue with earnings. and airbusto boeing is restructuring its aircraft business ahead of schedule to help cut costs by 300 million euros this year. the company saw a 32% drop in sales in the second quarter because of a dramatic slowdown in commercial plane production. joining us now is the ceo. thank you so much for joining us on the show today. it is great to have you with us. do you think that this restructuring that you have announced is going to be enough to cope with the aircraft slump as a result of covid? >> first of all, thank you for having me on your program this morning. indeed, as you can see in our first semester, we have been looking at the safety of our people and it continues to be

our number one priority and we have taken stringent measures to protect our employees. we started the crisis with strong liquidity. cash areion in reserved. we are in a good place. at the end of the day, cash is king. especially in this time of crisis. cash flow to shareholders on 400 million euro. said, it is the segment hit most in this crisis, and obviously, we were very agile in taking the right measures immediately in restructuring and indeed, restructuring our footprints as well. what sort of communication are you getting from the aerospace industry? what are they saying about a return to pre-covid levels in production rates? or on the other side, further production cuts in wide-body

jets -- wide-body jets? ilham: it is going to take time specifically for civil aviation. this is the obvious one on everyone's mind. to take time between forand 2023 or 2025, even the most pessimistic. having said that, until a vaccine is available, we will not see this sector anytime soon. for us, it's a bit different because the sector represents only 7%. composites used in the program which have offset some of the reduction and the defense programs are actually very resilient if not growing. how much are you offsetting the challenges with producing products for the health care industries and other industries related to covid? yeah, we have almost one

third of our portfolio which has been extremely resilient, you know, and somewhat offsetting the headwinds for gas and construction segments. the resilience markets include health care, as you mentioned. personal care and electronics, which really have been resistant during the crisis. health care has obviously been growing for us. it is a diverse sector. we are -- crisis, they are being used in tests for covid-19, or even, you know, potential vaccine. we have seen our health care business really grow in the first semester. nejra: thank you so much for

joining us. pleasure to have you on the show with us. another earnings interview now. an oil company has reported ebitda for the second quarter of 335 point $1 million. that is 19% lower year on year. joining us now for a ,onversation is alex schneiter president and ceo of an energy company. thank you for joining. during the crisis, exploration dropped, especially in norway. you are now saying you will be able to resume exploration activities in the second half of the year. when will that start specifically and where? alex: yes, good morning. resumest said, we will exploration in the fourth quarter, and the main focus would be the southern balance sheet towards the north, while we have discovery and we follow-up from the discovery with several trends so we pushed back some more

exploration for the covid crisis but we are now back. during the fourth quarter it will be very busy again. talk a little bit more about the outlook for the rest of the year. in terms of the recovery. alex: for us, obviously, it's always been very important. you have to be very resilient. that means being very efficient, strong capital discipline, and i think we have seen on this quarter again that despite the fact that we average about $25 in oil price and sale, we generated free cash flow, and we also posted record low below $2.8 ats barrel. so i think, you know, of course, it's been very important to be very resilient and efficient and

it has proven very profitable to us. going forward, we continue that strategy. of course, there are still uncertainties in the world. covid is still here with us and we still have an impact on the economies and in demand, so it is something we are very focused on. nejra: i want to ask as well about the facts that lawmakers earlier this year agreed on what you could argue as quite a generous oil tax package. it has obviously had some fierce criticism from the industry because of provisions that could increase the tax burden over time, have little effect on the profitability of projects. you report that as much as eight projects might be accelerated due to the tax package. what projects are we talking about and what will happen if the tax package does not go through parliament? alex: the tax package has been approved, so it is in effect.

as you said, they had the , itfit, particularly improves liquidity in the short-term, but even more important, it improves the economics and the rate for return on projects. it was a very smart move from the norwegian government because it helped to start again andvities and employ people generate new projects. i think you have to realize that at the same time, the government has implemented a curtailment in production so oil-producing fields had to reduce their production so i think it is a give and take. overall, i think it has been a very clever move by the government. nejra: talk to me about the outlook for the oil price. do you think the market will be able to absorb the extra oil supply from opec-plus? alex: we obviously had some

dramatic timing in april where we saw this over supply and demand falling to a record low. i think it was the biggest fall since the second world war in demand. i think it is fair to say that now, opec-plus has done a good job and there is discipline. a much morehave balanced market. the future really depends a little bit on how the economies and the world will start again, how covid will evolve. clearly, it will take time to go back, thinking just about the business which will take years and years to go back to the pre-covid level. i do think right now, we see a relatively stable market where the oil price is about $40 plus. balanced supply and demand at this moment. nejra: thank you so much for joining us, alex schneiter,

president and ceo. great to catch up with you today. let's catch up with the earnings news from banks this hour. deutsche bank second quarter fic trading revenue beating -- your two reporting the biggest gain in almost eight years. the ceo saying the bank is fully on track to meet all targets. the second quarter pretax profit number came in at a beat as well. lossnder's second-quarter of 11.1 billion euros. the estimate was for a profit so that is an unexpected loss, and also, a 12.6 billion euro impairment, so basically, we are seeing the impact of covid impairment from santander. that is it for "bloomberg daybreak: europe." the european open is up next. lots of earnings to react to and we also had numbers from sanofi this our coming through as well and news on a vaccine. we are looking at a lower open, judging by european and u.s. futures. this is bloomberg. ♪
