On this occasion , Patrick Pouyanné said : << In the first quarter , the Group fully benefited from rising oil and gas prices , up 38 % and 24 % , respectively quarter - to- quarter , and its strategy to grow LNG and Renewables and Electricity . The Group reported adjusted net income of $ 3 billion , above the pre - crisis first quarter of 2019 , despite a less favorable environment by taking advantage of the action plans implemented during the crisis . Cash flow ( DACF ) increased to $ 5.8 billion and gearing already decreased to less than 20 % in the first quarter of 2021 , validating the strategy of resilience and maintaining the dividend driven by the Board of Directors during the 2020 crisis . The Board of Directors confirms the objective of anchoring the Group's gearing sustainably below 20 % . The organic cash breakeven was less than $ 25 / b in the first quarter . The IGRP segment reported adjusted net operating income of $ 1 billion , the highest in its history , and generated cash flow of more than $ 1 billion , thanks to growing LNG sales and the positive contribution from Renewables and Electricity , which had an EBITDA of nearly $ 350 million . Over the past year , gross installed renewable power generation capacity grew from 3 GW to 7.8 GW , renewable power production more than doubled , net power production increased by more than 60 % and the Group now has more than 5 million customers in France . With more than $ 2 billion invested in renewables , including the acquisition of a 20 % stake in Adani Green Energy Ltd in India , in the first quarter of 2021 , the Group is accelerating its transformation into a broad energy company . With an adjusted net operating income of $ 2 billion , Exploration & Production fully captured the higher oil price and provided a strong cash flow contribution of $ 3.8 billion . Given the OPEC + quota implementation , the Group's production , as announced , increased slightly to 2.86 Mboe / d ( 0.8 % ) . With the launch of the Lake Albert project in Uganda and Tanzania , the Group is implementing its strategy to invest in resilient low - breakeven projects that reduce the carbon intensity of its portfolio . The improved Upstream environment contrasts with depressed European refining margins , down 80 % from a year ago , reflecting weak demand for petroleum products of 13 Mb / d in the first quarter 2021 versus 15 Mb / d a year earlier . Downstream adjusted net operating income was more than $ 500 million , supported by strong petrochemicals performance and resilient Marketing & Services . Strengthened by these excellent results and confident in the fundamentals of the Group , the Board of Directors decided to distribute a first interim dividend for fiscal year 2021 stable at € 0.66 / share . » > 1 Definition page 3 . 2 Excluding leases . 1
