Equinor third quarter 2024

CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES

SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURES

Operational performance

Equinor delivered a total equity production of 1,984 mboe per day in the third quarter, down from 2,007 mboe in the same quarter last year.

On the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS), production increased by 2 percent compared to the third quarter 2023. This was due to high gas production from the Troll field and positive contributions from Aasta Hansteen and Oseberg. The increase was partially offset by extensive turnarounds, natural decline and reduced ownership in the Statfjord area.

Internationally, new wells contributed positively to the production. However, the international production was negatively impacted by offshore turnarounds and hurricanes in the United States.

In the quarter, Equinor completed nine offshore exploration wells with one commercial discovery. Four wells were ongoing at the quarter end. Two wells were expensed.

Equinor produced 677 GWh from renewable assets in the third quarter, up 82 percent from the same quarter last year. The increase was driven by the addition of onshore power plants in 2024. The offshore wind parks Dudgeon, Sheringham Shoal and Arkona also contributed positively to the production.

The progress at Dogger Bank A is slower than expected. Based on this, the expected growth in power production from renewable assets in 2024 is adjusted to around 50 percent.

Strategic progress

Equinor continued to optimise the portfolio through projects and strategic business development in the quarter.

On the NCS, the Johan Castberg production vessel was securely anchored at the field in the Barents Sea and hook-up is on track for production start before year-end. In the quarter, Troll B and C became partly powered from shore, contributing to the company's efforts to strengthen competitiveness and halve operated emissions by 2030.

The recent acquisition of a 9.8 percent stake in Ørsted, gives Equinor exposure to premium offshore wind assets in operation and a solid project pipeline. In the quarter, Equinor also won an offshore wind lease in the U.S. Atlantic Ocean at an attractive price, adding optionality of around 2 gigawatt capacity to its existing portfolio. Furthermore, the company started recalibrating its portfolio of early phase renewable projects to reduce cost and focus business development toward core markets.

Equinor continues to progress its low carbon solutions portfolio. The Northern Lights facility was completed on estimated time and budget. In the UK, two key partner-operated low-carbon solution projects secured funding from the government.

Solid financial results

Equinor delivered adjusted operating income* of USD 6.89 billion. USD 5.88 billion come from Exploration and Production Norway, USD 407 million from E&P International and USD 207 million from E&P USA. Marketing, Midstream & Processing delivered

adjusted operating income* of USD 545 million, driven by LNG, power trading and geographical arbitrage for LPG. Adjusted operating income* from Renewables was negative USD 115 million, as the costs of project development exceeded the earnings from assets in operation.

Cash flow from operating activities before taxes paid and working capital items amounted to USD 9.23 billion for the third quarter. Cash flow from operations after taxes paid* was USD 6.25 billion for the quarter, and USD 14.0 billion year to date.

Equinor paid one NCS tax instalment of USD 2.87 billion in the quarter and total capital expenditures were USD 3.14 billion. Organic capital expenditure* was USD 3.08 billion for the quarter and USD 8.73 billion year to date. The organic capital expenditure* guiding for the year is adjusted to USD 12-13 billion. After taxes, capital distribution to shareholders and investments, net cash flow* ended at negative USD 3.42 billion in the third quarter. The Norwegian state's share of the share buyback programme of USD 4.02 billion in July impacted the net cash flow*.

Adjusted net debt to capital employed ratio* was negative 2.0 percent at the end of the third quarter, compared to negative 3.4 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2024.

Capital distribution

The board of directors has decided an ordinary cash dividend of USD 0.35 per share and an extraordinary cash dividend of USD 0.35 per share for the third quarter of 2024. This is in line with communication at the capital markets update in February.

The board has decided to initiate a fourth and final tranche of share buy-back for 2024 of up to USD 1.6 billion. The fourth tranche will commence on 25 October and end no later than 31 January 2025. This fourth tranche will complete the announced share buy-back programme of up to USD 6 billion for 2024. It will also conclude total capital distribution for 2024 of around USD 14 billion.

The third tranche of the share buy-back programme was completed on 16 October 2024 with a total value of USD 1.6 billion.

All share buy-back amounts include shares to be redeemed by the Norwegian state.

Operations and financial results

Well executed high turnaround activity contributed to stable production levels and solid financial results in the quarter.

E&P Norway delivered strong production levels amid high turnaround activity during the third quarter. The 2% increase in production, when compared to the same period in the prior year, was driven by the continued ramp up of Breidablikk, effective turnaround activities and good operational performance. Operational challenges impacted key gas producing fields in the third quarter of 2023,

which also contributed to the relative increase for the quarter. The ramp-up of new fields and the lower level of unplanned losses contributed to the overall higher production in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period last year.

An increase in turnaround scope when compared to the third quarter 2023, combined with temporary shutdowns in certain fields and the impact of hurricane related interruptions in September, resulted in a production decrease from the International upstream businesses for the third

SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURES

quarter. In the USA, liquid producing assets were particularly affected, impacting the production mix for the quarter from E&P USA. In E&P International, the benefits of new wells onstream and volumes from the Buzzard field in the UK offset the impact of turnaround activity in Brazil for the first nine months of 2024. In E&P USA, turnaround activity in the Gulf of Mexico and curtailment of production in the Appalachian Basin resulted in a production decrease, more than offsetting the increase from the ramp up of Vito during this period.

Total power generation increased by 28% and 17% for third quarter and first nine months of 2024 compared to the prior year, driven by the developments in the renewable portfolio. The addition of onshore power plants in Brazil and Poland during 2023, and the start-up of Mendubim solar projects in 2024, drove the 82% and 70% increase in renewable power generation for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 respectively compared to the same periods in 2023. Gas to power generation reduced compared to 2023 due to low clean spark spreads.

Higher realised gas prices, complimented by an increased share of gas in the production mix, drove strong revenue and results for the third quarter of 2024 despite the impact of reduced sales volumes and lower liquids prices. The decrease in revenue for the third quarter compared to the prior year was partially offset by an increase in gas prices and volumes in the quarter. For the first nine months of 2024 however, gas prices were lower than in 2023 impacting revenues despite the increase in production volumes.

Strong equity and third-party LNG trading in the third quarter of 2024 drove solid results from gas and power trading in the Marketing, Midstream and Processing segment. This result was supported by physical and financial trading of LPG.

An increase in operation and maintenance costs for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 together with increased operating activity and ongoing development projects in the renewables and low carbon solutions businesses have resulted in higher adjusted operating and administrative expenses* compared to the same periods last year.

Adjusted depreciation, amortisation and net impairments* was consistent with the third quarter of 2023. The ramp up of new fields, increased production and the inclusion of Buzzard contributed to the overall increase in adjusted depreciation, amortisation and net impairments* in first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.

Canadian wells were expensed in the third quarter of 2024. Exploration costs associated with a dry offshore well in Argentina and Bacalhau were expensed earlier in the year. In the first nine months of 2023 previously expensed exploration wells were capitalised resulting in an overall notable increase in exploration expenses for the first nine months of 2024.

The impact of decreased long-term interest rates together with a positive development on financial investments resulted in an increase in financial items for the third quarter of 2024 when compared to the same period in the prior year. This positive movement was partially offset by net foreign exchange losses in the quarter. The currency movements in the first nine months of 2024 have driven a decrease in financial items when compared to the same period of 2023.

PRESS

Taxes and net financial result

The effective reported tax rate of 70.0% for the first nine months of 2024 increased compared to 67.4% in 2023 due to a higher share of income from jurisdictions with high tax rates, and currency effects in entities that are taxable in currencies other than the functional currency.

The effective reported tax rate of 68.6% for the third quarter of 2024 increased compared to 66.5% in 2023. The increase was mainly due to a higher share of income from jurisdictions with high tax rates.

The effective tax rate on adjusted operating income* of 69.1% for the first nine months of 2024 decreased compared to 69.2% in 2023 due to decreased prior period adjustments in 2024 compared with 2023. The effective tax rate on adjusted operating income* of 70.3% for the third quarter of 2024 increased compared to 65.6% in 2023 due to a higher share of adjusted operating income* from jurisdictions with high tax rates in 2024 compared to 2023.

A strong adjusted net income* result of USD 2,191 million and a net income of USD 2,285 million was recorded in the third quarter. The result was supported by an increase in gas prices, however this was more than offset by the impact of lower production levels, liquids

prices and increased costs when compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

Cash flow, net debt and capital distribution

Solid financial results from the business during the third quarter of 2024, driven by stable group production amid turnaround activity generated cash flows provided by operating activities before taxes paid and working capital items of USD 9,233 million. The decrease from USD 11,336 million in the prior year reflects lower liquids prices and increased purchases.

Cash flow from operations after taxes paid* decreased compared to the third quarter of 2023, from an inflow of USD 7,594 million to USD 6,247 million despite lower tax payments in the quarter. For the first nine months of 2024 cash flow from operations after taxes paid* was USD 13,985 million, down from USD 16,953 million in the prior year.

The first tax instalment of Norwegian corporate income tax relating to the 2024 results was paid in the quarter, amounting to USD 2,874 million. The reduction in payment compared to the same period in the prior year primarily reflects the lower pricing environment of 2024, primarily for liquids.

Working capital in the third quarter decreased by USD 810 million compared to the large increase of USD 2,357 million in the same period of the prior year which arose due to an increase in receivables caused by higher volumes and pricing.

THIRD QUARTER 2024 REVIEW

CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES

SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURES

Net cash flow* decreased by USD 4,901 million from the same quarter in the prior year to an outflow of USD 3,422 million primarily reflecting substantial cash distribution of USD 4,564 million in the quarter as part of the share buy-back programme. A USD 4,023 million payment to the Norwegian state for the second, third, fourth tranche of the 2023, and first tranche of the 2024 share buy-back programme was made in the third quarter whereas the payment to the Norwegian state in the prior year was made in the second quarter.

A decrease in liquid assets in the quarter, with stable equity caused an increase in the net debt to capital employed adjusted* ratio at the end of September 2024 from negative 3.4% at the end of June 2024 to negative 2.0%.

The board of directors has decided an ordinary cash dividend of USD 0.35 per share and an extraordinary cash dividend of USD 0.35 per share for the third quarter of 2024. This is in line with communication at the capital markets update in February.

The board has decided to initiate a fourth and final tranche of share buy-back for 2024 of up to USD 1.6 billion. The fourth tranche will commence on 25 October and end no later than 31 January 2025. This fourth tranche will complete the announced share buy-back programme of up to USD 6 billion for 2024. It will also conclude total capital distribution for 2024 of around USD 14 billion.

The third tranche of the share buy-back programme was completed on 16 October 2024 with a total value of USD 1.6 billion.

All share buy-back amounts include shares to be redeemed by the Norwegian state.

Health, safety and the environment

The twelve-month average serious incident frequency (SIF) for the period ending 30 September 2024 was 0.3, a decrease from 2023 which ended at 0.4.

Absolute scope 1+2 GHG emissions for Equinor's operated production, on a 100% basis, were 8.2 million tonnes CO₂e for the first nine month of 2024. This represents a decrease of 0.4 million tonnes CO₂e compared to the same period last year. The decrease in GHG emissions is primarily due to a turnaround at Åsgard B, the decommissioning of Heimdal, and partial electrification of Troll B and C in 2024.

Outlook

  • • Organic capital expenditures* are estimated at USD 12-13 billion for 2024¹.
  • • Oil & gas production for 2024 is estimated to be stable compared to the 2023 level [6].
  • • Renewable power generation for 2024 is estimated to increase by around fifty percent compared to the 2023 level.
  • Equinor's ambition is to keep the unit of production cost in the top quartile of its peer group.
  • • Scheduled maintenance activity is estimated to reduce equity production by around 50 mboe per day for the full year of 2024.

These forward-looking statements reflect current views about future events and are, by their nature, subject to significant risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. Deferral of production to create future value, gas off-take, timing of new capacity coming on stream and operational regularity and levels of industry product supply, demand and pricing represent the most significant risks related to the foregoing production guidance.

Production & revenues

E&P Norway delivered production at a strong level in the third quarter of 2024 due to efficient turnaround activity and the ramp-up of Breidablikk. Gas production increased by 8% compared to the same quarter last year, which was marked by planned turnarounds and unplanned turnaround extensions on specific gas-producing fields. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, liquids production was down by 4%, driven by a larger scope of turnaround activity, natural decline and planned maintenance on various fields.

The ramp-up of new fields and the lower level of unplanned losses contributed to the overall higher production in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period last year.

Liquids prices were lower in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of last year, while gas prices were higher relative to the same period. The development in prices combined with robust gas production resulted in relatively stable revenue levels.

The significant decline in gas prices during 2023 which continued into the first half of 2024 was the main driver of lower revenues for the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Operating expenses and financial results

Higher operation and maintenance costs increased operating and administrative expenses in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods last year. This increase was partially offset by the reduction in CO₂ quota prices and the Statfjord area divestment. Operating and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2023 were impacted by a significant underlift effect.

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, adjusted depreciation, amortisation and net impairments* increased compared to the same periods last year due to the ramp up of new fields and field-specific investments. This increase was partially offset by the impacts of prior period impairments.

Exploration activity was at the same level in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter last year (9 wells), but a higher cost per well and lower capitalisation rate led to an increase in exploration expenses. The increase was partially offset by lower seismic activities.

In the third quarter and the first nine months of 2023, net operating income was adversely affected by an impairment of USD 588 million related to an asset in the North Sea.

Equity production decreased this quarter compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to natural decline in certain fields and temporary shutdowns in Brazil and Libya. The reduction was partially offset by the ramp-up of new wells, which supported overall production levels. Increased turnaround activities in the quarter further contributed to the decrease in production. The production for the first nine months of 2024 is at the same level as last year. The contribution from new wells along with decreased turnaround activities and the contribution from the Buzzard field in the UK was offset by the impact from temporary shutdowns in Brazil and Libya and natural decline in 2024.

Production sharing agreements (PSA) effects in the third quarter of 2024 are at the same level compared to third quarter last year. The increase in production sharing agreements (PSA) effects in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period last year were driven by higher production from Angola PSA fields and higher liquids prices.

The decrease in liquids prices and lower lifted volumes in the third quarter of 2024 led to lower revenues compared to the same quarter last year. The first nine months cumulative revenues are on the same level as last year.

Operating expenses and financial results

A reduction in volumes sold contributed to lower operating and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year. This decrease was offset by higher expenses

related to scheduled maintenance activities. For the first nine months of 2024, operating and administrative expenses increased compared to the same period in 2023, driven by additional operating and maintenance activities in Brazil and the UK.

Depreciation decreased in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year, due to higher turnaround activities in Brazil and the cessation of depreciation on the ACG field in Azerbaijan, following the divestment agreement with SOCAR. Depreciation expenses in the first nine months of 2024 were on par with the same period last year.

Exploration expenses increased in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year, due to expensed wells in Canada. The first nine months increase in 2024 compared to 2023 is mainly due to the capitalisation of previously expensed exploration wells in Brazil in 2023.

Lower production in the third quarter reduced net operating income compared to the same period last year, while higher exploration expenses drove the decrease for the first nine months despite stable production levels.

The reduction in additions to PP&E, intangibles, and equity accounted investments in the current quarter of 2024 is mainly related to new vessel contracts in Brazil in the same quarter last year. The first nine months numbers are lower in 2024 due to the acquisition of Suncor Energy UK Limited in 2023.

Production & revenues

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, E&P USA reports lower production compared to the same periods in 2023 mainly due turnaround activity, impacts from hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and curtailment of production affecting the Appalachia onshore assets.

Lower liquids prices negatively impacted revenue in the third quarter, partially offset by higher gas prices. For the first nine months of 2024, the impact of lower production was offset by higher liquids realised prices when compared to the prior year.

Operating expenses and financial results

Operating and administration expenses increased in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods last year. This increase was primarily due to higher well maintenance expenditures in multiple offshore assets, offset by lower offshore production which reduced transportation expenses.

Lower offshore production also resulted in a decrease in depreciation in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2024 when compared to the same periods of 2023. This was partially offset by a depreciation expense related to an increase in abandonment cost estimate for a late life asset in the Gulf of Mexico during the second quarter of 2024 impacting the first nine months of 2024.

Exploration expenditures were slightly lower in the third quarter of 2024 partly due to the sanctioning of the Sparta project late in 2023, resulting in the project meeting the criteria for capitalisation.

The increase in additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted investments in 2024, compared to 2023, is primarily attributed to the swap with EQT closed in the second quarter. This resulted in an increase in the Northern Marcellus formation offset by a decrease from the Appalachia operated assets impacting PPE disposals.

1) Equinor natural gas sales volumes reported for the first quarter of 2024 were restated from 16.3 bcm to 16.8 bcm.

Volumes, pricing & revenues

Liquids sales volumes increased compared to both the second quarter of 2024 and the first nine months of 2023 primarily due to higher sales of third-party volumes partially offset by lower equity production.

Gas sales declined compared to the second quarter of 2024 due to lower NCS gas production caused by maintenance activity. The increase in gas sales relative to the first nine months of 2023 was driven by higher NCS gas production and third-party sales, partially offset by lower EPI production.

Gas to power generation was consistent with the previous quarter but decreased compared to the first nine months of 2023 due to lower clean spark spread.

Realised European piped gas price increased in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the previous quarter, due to an increase in market prices driven by continued geopolitical risks and supply disruptions despite low seasonal demand. Compared to the same quarter last year, the realised European piped gas price increased explained by higher market prices.

Realised piped gas price in the US increased in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the previous quarter due to lower natural gas supply and higher demand. Compared to the third quarter of last year, reduced production in the third quarter of 2024 increased the realised US piped gas price.

Financial results

Gas and Power contributed significantly to adjusted operating income* during the third quarter due to strong equity and third-party LNG trading, along with the realisation of physical gas sales and power trading. Crude, Products, and Liquids achieved a good result driven by physical and financial trading of crude and LPG supported by shipping optimisation. The Other sub-segment was impacted by low refining margins and high activity associated with developing low carbon projects.

Adjusted operating income* increased slightly compared to the previous quarter. A higher contribution from Crude, Products and Liquids was partially offset by lower realisation from natural gas sales.

Adjusted operating income* for the first nine month of 2024 was lower than the same period last year across the subsegments, due to lower crude, products and refining margins, reduced clean spark spread and refinery throughput as well as increased cost driven by higher activity related to developing low carbon projects.

Net operating income includes the net effect of fair value change in commodity derivatives and storages, impairment reversal, changes in onerous provisions and operational storage value change.

The substantial increase in power generation in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods of 2023 was driven by the addition of onshore power plants in Brazil and Poland, and the start of production at the partner operated Mendubim solar plants in Brazil. Total onshore renewables generated 383 GWh in the third quarter of 2024. Offshore wind farms generated 263 GWh, with the majority coming from Dudgeon, Sheringham Shoal and Arkona. The Dogger Bank A wind farm is expected to start commercial production in the second half of 2025.

PRESS

Total revenues and other income

The addition of onshore wind farms in operation in Brazil and Poland increased the contribution to revenues third party, other revenue and other income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Net income/(loss) from equity-accounted investments increased significantly in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.

Results from joint venture assets in operation increased compared to the third quarter last year, positively impacted by price adjustments from previous periods and insurance income. Lower project development costs compared to the prior year, resulting from divestment and changed consolidation method for the US offshore wind projects, contributed to increased net result from equity accounted investments for the quarter and first nine months. The capitlisation of expenditures for Bałtyk, the offshore wind project in Poland, from the third quarter of 2023 also supported the increase for the first nine months of 2024.

Operating expenses and financial results

Higher operating activity levels from ongoing development projects combined with increased business development expenditures contributed to an upward trend in operating and administrative expenses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 compared to the same periods of 2023.

The adjusted operating loss* for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 was comparable to the same periods of 2023. The increase in operating expenses from ongoing projects offset higher revenues from assets in operation during 2024.

Net operating loss includes the effect of a USD 50 million impairment of an offshore wind lease project in California in the third quarter of 2024, with a USD 300 million impairment on Equinor's offshore wind projects on the US Northeast coast impacting the third quarter of the prior year.

The net operating loss for the first nine months of 2024 also included a USD 147 million net loss resulting from the asset swap transaction between Equinor and bp in the first quarter, under which Equinor took full ownership of the Empire Wind lease and projects and bp took full ownership of the Beacon Wind lease and projects.

Additions to PP&E, intangibles, and equity accounted investments for the third quarter of 2024 increased compared to the same quarter last year. In the third quarter of 2024, USD 60 million for onshore renewables and USD 301 million was allocated for offshore wind projects, primarily related to the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) and Empire Wind projects in the US and investments related to projects in the UK.

1) The line item includes a fair value gain related to inventory of USD 66 million in the third quarter 2024 and a gain of USD 673 million in first nine months of 2024. The corresponding amount in third quarter 2023 was a fair value loss of USD 13 million and a loss of USD 247 million in the first nine months in 2023.

2) Cash flows related to variation margin collaterals on over-the-counter (OTC) commodity derivatives form part of Equinor's principal revenue-making activities. From 1 January 2024, these cash flows are therefore presented within the line-item (Increase)/decrease in other items related to operating activities. In previous periods these cash flows have been presented within the line-item Net current finance debt and other financing activities. Comparative figures have not been restated due to immateriality.

3) In the first nine months of 2023 this line item includes cash consideration net of cash disposed, related to the disposal of Equinor Energy Ireland Limited at closing date 31 March 2023.

4) At 30 September 2024 and at 31 December 2023 cash and cash equivalents net overdraft were zero. At 30 September 2023 cash and cash equivalents included a net overdrafts of USD 524 million.

CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES

SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organisation and basis of preparation

Organisation and principal activities

Equinor Group (Equinor) consists of Equinor ASA and its subsidiaries. Equinor ASA is incorporated and domiciled in Norway and listed on the Oslo Børs (Norway) and the New York Stock Exchange (USA). The registered office address is Forusbeen 50, N-4035, Stavanger, Norway.

The objective of Equinor is to develop, produce and market various forms of energy and derived products and services, as well as other businesses. The activities may also be carried out through participation in or cooperation with other companies. Equinor Energy AS, a 100% owned operating subsidiary of Equinor ASA and owner of all of Equinor's oil and gas activities and net assets on the Norwegian continental shelf, is a co-obligor or guarantor of certain debt obligations of Equinor ASA.

Equinor's condensed interim financial statements for the third quarter of 2024 were authorised for issue by the board of directors on 23 October 2024.

Basis of preparation

These condensed interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union (EU). The condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required by IFRS® Accounting Standards for a complete set of financial statements and should

be read in conjunction with the Consolidated annual financial statements for 2023. IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU differs in certain respects from IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB, however the differences do not impact Equinor's financial statements for the periods presented.

Certain amounts in the comparable years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. As a result of rounding differences, numbers or percentages may not add up to the total.

The condensed interim financial statements are unaudited.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of Equinor's consolidated annual financial statements for 2023. A description of the material accounting policies is included in Equinor's consolidated annual financial statements for 2023. When determining fair value, there have been no changes to the valuation techniques or models and Equinor applies the same sources of input and the same criteria for categorisation in the fair value hierarchy as disclosed in the consolidated annual financial statements for 2023.

For information about IFRS Accounting Standards, amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards and IFRIC® Interpretations effective from 1 January 2024, that could affect the consolidated financial statements, please refer to note 2 in Equinor's consolidated financial statements for 2023. None of the amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards effective from 1 January 2024 has had a significant impact on the condensed interim financial statements. Equinor has not early adopted any IFRS Accounting Standards, amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards or IFRIC Interpretations issued, but not yet effective.

Use of judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Please refer to note 2 in Equinor's consolidated financial statements for 2023 for more information about accounting judgement and key sources of estimation uncertainty. See note 2 Segments in this report for further information about management's future commodity price assumptions and long-term NOK currency exchange rate assumptions.

Note 2. Segments

Equinor's operations are managed through operating segments identified on the basis of those components of Equinor that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, Equinor's Corporate Executive Officer (CEO). The reportable segments Exploration & Production Norway (E&P Norway), Exploration & Production International (E&P International), Exploration & Production USA (E&P USA), Marketing, Midstream & Processing (MMP) and Renewables (REN) correspond to the operating segments. The operating segments Projects, Drilling & Procurement (PDP), Technology, Digital & Innovation (TDI) and Corporate staff and functions are aggregated into the reportable segment Other based on materiality. The majority of the costs in PDP and TDI is allocated to the three Exploration & Production segments, MMP and REN.

The accounting policies of the reporting segments equal those applied in these condensed interim financial statements, except for the line-item Additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted investments in which movements related to changes in asset retirement obligations are excluded as well as provisions for onerous contracts which reflect only obligations towards group external parties. The measurement basis of segment profit is net operating income/(loss). Deferred tax assets, pension assets, non-current financial assets, total current assets and total liabilities are not allocated to the segments. Transactions between the segments, mainly from the sale of crude oil, gas, and related products, are performed at defined internal prices which have been derived from market prices. The transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Changes to accounting assumptions

Management's future commodity price assumptions and currency assumptions are used for value in use impairment testing. While there are inherent uncertainties in the assumptions, the commodity price assumptions as well as currency assumptions reflect management's best estimate of the price and currency development over the life of the Group's assets based on its view of relevant current circumstances and the likely future development of such circumstances, including energy demand development, energy and climate change policies as well as the speed of the energy transition, population and economic growth, geopolitical risks, technology and cost development and other factors. Management's best estimate also takes into consideration a range of external forecasts.

Equinor has performed a thorough and broad analysis of the expected development in drivers for the different commodity markets and exchange rates. Significant uncertainty exists regarding future commodity price development due to the transition to a lower carbon economy, future supply actions by OPEC+ and other factors. Such analysis resulted in changes in the long-term price assumptions with effect from the second quarter of 2024. The main price assumptions applied in impairment and impairment reversal assessments are disclosed in the table below as price-points on price curves. Previous price-points applied from the second quarter of 2023 up to and including the first quarter of 2024 are provided in brackets.

Further, with effect from the second quarter of 2024, Equinor implemented new long-term exchange rates. The USD/NOK rate was revised to 10.0 (previously 8.5), the EUR/NOK rate was revised to 11.5 (previously 10.0) and the USD/GBP rate was revised to 1.30 (previously 1.35). This conclusion was supported by the historical 5-year average and forward spot prices in the currency market.

SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURES

Note 3. Acquisitions and disposals

Acquisition and disposals Swap of onshore oil & gas assets in the US

On 31 May 2024, Equinor and EQT Corporation closed the swap transaction in which Equinor sold its 100% interest in the Marcellus and Utica shale formations in the Appalachian Basin, located in southeastern Ohio, and transferred the operatorship to EQT. In exchange, Equinor acquired 40% of EQT's non-operated working interest in the Northern Marcellus shale formation in Pennsylvania. Following the transaction, Equinor increased its average working interest from 15.7% to 25.7% in certain Chesapeake-operated Northern Marcellus gas units. Equinor paid a cash consideration of USD 467 million (net of interim period settlement) to EQT to balance the overall transaction. With this transaction, Equinor continues to high-grade the US portfolio and work to strengthen the profitability of the onshore gas position in the Appalachian Basin. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognised in accordance with the principles in IFRS 3 Business Combinations within the E&P USA segment, mainly as property, plant, and equipment (USD 750 million) and intangible assets (USD 505 million).

Swap of US Offshore Wind assets

On 24 January 2024, Equinor entered into a swap agreement with bp to acquire bp's 50% share and take full ownership of Empire Offshore Wind Holdings LLC, including the Empire Wind lease and projects (Empire Wind), in exchange

for its 50% share in Beacon Wind Holdings LLC, including the Beacon Wind lease and projects (Beacon Wind). Equinor also agreed to acquire bp's 50% interest in the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) lease. Based on the agreement, Equinor controls and has consolidated Empire Wind and SBMT from the first quarter of 2024 and has divested its 50% share of Beacon Wind. The swap of Empire Wind and Beacon Wind was formally closed on 4 April. The acquisitions were accounted for as asset acquisitions, and previous holdings were not revalued. The swap resulted in a combined loss of USD 147 million in the first quarter 2024, recognised in the REN segment and presented in the line item Operating expenses in

Held for sale

Divestment of interest in Azerbaijan

the Consolidated statement of income.

On 22 December 2023, Equinor entered into an agreement with the State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) to sell its interest in its Azerbaijan assets. The assets comprise a 7.27% non-operated interest in the Azeri Chirag Gunashli (ACG) oil fields in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea, 8.71% interest in the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline and 50% in the Karabagh oil field. Closing is expected during 2024 subject to regulatory and contractual approvals. The assets have been classified as held for sale since the fourth quarter 2023.

Note 4. Revenues

Revenues from contracts with customers by geographical areas

When attributing the line item Revenues from contracts with customers for the third quarter of 2024 to the country of the legal entity executing the sale, Norway and the USA accounted for 77% and 20%, respectively, of such revenues (80% and 18%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2024 and 78% and 20%, respectively, for the third quarter

PRESS

of 2023). For the first nine months of 2024, Norway and the USA accounted for 79% and 19% of such revenues, respectively, compared to 80% and 17%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2023. Revenues from contracts with customers are mainly reflecting such revenues from the reporting segment MMP.

Equinor reported Net foreign currency exchange losses in the first nine months of 2024 compared to a Net foreign currency exchange gain in the first nine months of 2023. The change is due to a combination of both a lesser strengthening of USD versus NOK and changes in underlying NOK positions.

Equinor has a US Commercial paper programme available with a limit of USD 5 billion. As of 30 September 2024, USD 1,06 billion were utilised compared to USD 1.9 billion utilised as of 31 December 2023.

The effective reported tax rate of 70.0% for the first nine months of 2024 increased compared to 67.4% in 2023 due to higher share of income from jurisdictions with high tax rates and currency effects in entities that are taxable in other currencies than the functional currency.

The effective reported tax rate of 68.6% for the third quarter of 2024 increased compared to 66.5% in 2023. The increase was mainly due to higher share of income from jurisdictions with high tax rates.

Note 7. Provisions and contingent items

Asset retirement obligation

Equinor's estimated asset retirement obligations (ARO) have increased by approximately USD 0.5 billion to USD 12.8 billion at 30 September 2024 compared to year-end 2023, mainly due to change in estimates. Changes in ARO are reflected within Property, plant and equipment and Provisions and other liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheet.

Litigation and claims

During the normal course of its business, Equinor is involved in legal and other proceedings, and several unresolved claims are currently outstanding. The ultimate liability or asset in respect of such litigation and claims cannot be determined at this time. Equinor has provided in its Condensed interim financial statements for probable liabilities related to litigation and claims based on the company's best judgement. Equinor does not expect that its financial position, results of operations or cash flows will be materially affected by the resolution of these legal proceedings.

SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURES

Note 8. Capital distribution

Dividend for the third quarter 2024

On 23 October 2024, the board of directors resolved to declare an ordinary cash dividend for the third quarter of 2024 of USD 0.35 per share and an extraordinary cash dividend of USD 0.35 per share. The Equinor shares will be traded ex-dividend 13 February 2025 on the Oslo Børs and 14 February for ADR holders on the New York Stock Exchange. Record date will be 14 February 2025 and payment date will be 28 February 2025.

Share buy- back programme 2024

Based on the authorisation from the annual general meeting on 14 May 2024, the board of directors will on a quarterly basis decide on share buy-back tranches. The 2024-2025 buy-back programme is up to USD 10,000-12,000 million in total, with up to USD 6,000 million for 2024, including shares to be redeemed from the Norwegian state.

During the first six months, Equinor launched the first two tranches of USD 2,800 million in total, of which USD 786 million was acquired in the market in first six months and USD 138 million was acquired in third quarter. In July 2024, Equinor launched the third tranche of USD 1,600 million including shares to be redeemed from the Norwegian state, and entered into an irrevocable agreement with a third party to purchase shares for USD 528 million in the market. Of this third tranche, shares for USD 403 million have been purchased in the market and settled at 30 September 2024, whereas USD 528 million have been recognised as reduction in equity. The market execution of the third tranche was completed in October 2024.

On 23 October 2024, the board of directors decided to initiate a fourth and final share buy-back tranche of up to USD 1,600 million for 2024, including shares to be redeemed from the Norwegian state. The fourth tranche will start 25 October 2024 and will end no later than 31 January 2025.

In order to maintain the Norwegian states ownership share in Equinor, a proportionate share of the second, third and fourth tranche of the 2023 programme as well as the first tranche of the 2024 programme was redeemed and cancelled through a capital reduction by the annual general meeting on 14 May 2024. The Norwegian state share of USD 3,956 million (NOK 42,801 million) following the capital reduction was settled in July 2024. A proportionate share of the second, third and fourth tranche of the 2024 programme will be redeemed and cancelled at the annual general meeting in May 2025.

Acquisition of shares in Ørsted A/S

Equinor has acquired 41,197,344 shares in Ørsted A/S, corresponding to 9.8% of the shares and votes in the company. Ørsted A/S, a leading developer and operator in renewables, is a Danish listed company. Equinor's ownership position has been built over time, through a combination of market purchases and a block trade. The shares will be recognised as Noncurrent financial investment at fair value. Fair value at the date when these condensed interim financial statements were authorised for issue was USD 2.6 billion.

Equinor's international portfolio

In the fourth quarter 2023, Equinor announced that it had entered into an agreement with Chappal Energies for the sale of Equinor Nigeria Energy Company (ENEC). ENEC holds a 53.85% ownership stake in oil and gas lease OML 128, including the unitised 20.21% stake in the Agbami oil field, operated by Chevron. The closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including all regulatory and contractual approvals, and will lead to Equinor effectively exiting the country. During the period from the end of September 2024 and up to the date when these condensed interim financial statements were authorised for issue, the uncertainty related to closing of the transaction has been reduced. Equinor's assets in Nigeria have therefore met the requirements for classification as held for sale after the reporting period. ENEC is reported within the E&P International segment.

Use and reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures

Non-GAAP financial measures are defined as numerical measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (i.e., IFRS Accounting Standards in the case of Equinor). The following financial measures included in this report may be considered non-GAAP financial measures:

Adjusted operating income (previously named

Adjusted earnings) is based on net operating income/ (loss) and adjusts for certain items affecting the income for the period to separate out effects that management considers may not be well correlated to Equinor's underlying operational performance in the individual reporting period. Management believes adjusted operating income provides an indication of Equinor's underlying operational performance and facilitates

comparison of operational trends between periods. The name of this measure was changed in 2024 to eliminate confusion regarding the basis of the calculation; additionally, one adjusting item was removed from the calculation of the measure, as detailed below in the Amended principles section.

Adjusted operating income after tax (previously named Adjusted earnings after tax) – equals the sum of net operating income/(loss) less income tax within reporting segments and includes adjustments to net operating income/(loss) along with related tax effects on these adjustments. The name of this measure was changed in 2024 in line with the change of the name of the pre-tax measure above. Adjusted operating income after tax excludes net financial items and the associated tax effects on net financial items. It is based on adjusted operating income less the tax

effects on all elements included in adjusted operating income (tax effects of adjusting items are computed using estimated tax rates applicable to each item and tax regime to derive after-tax adjusted operating income). In addition, tax effects related to tax exposure items not related to the individual reporting period are excluded from adjusted operating income after tax. Management believes adjusted operating income after tax provides an indication of Equinor's underlying operational performance after tax and facilitates comparisons of operational trends after tax between periods as it reflects the tax charge associated with operational performance excluding the impact of financing. Certain net USD denominated financial positions are held by group companies that have a USD functional currency that is different from the currency in which the taxable income is measured. As currency exchange rates change between periods, the basis for measuring net financial items for IFRS Accounting Standards will change disproportionally with taxable income which includes exchange gains and losses from translating the net USD denominated financial positions into the currency of the applicable tax return. Therefore, the effective tax rate may be significantly higher or lower than the statutory tax rate for any given period. Adjusted taxes included in adjusted operating income after tax should not be considered indicative of the amount of current or total tax expense (or taxes payable) for the period.

PRESS

Adjusted net income is based on net income/(loss) and provides additional transparency to Equinor's

underlying financial performance by also including net financial items and the associated tax effects. This measure includes adjustments made to arrive at adjusted operating income after tax, in addition to specific adjustments related to net financial items. Management believes this measure provides an indication of Equinor's underlying financial performance including the impact from financing and facilitates comparison of trends between periods.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS) is

computed by dividing Adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Earnings per share is a metric that is frequently used by investors, analysts and other parties to assess a company's profitability per share. Management believes this measure provides an indication of Equinor's underlying financial performance including the impact from financing and facilitates comparison of trends between periods.

Management believes the above measures provides an indication of Equinor's underlying operational and financial performance and facilitates the comparison of trends between periods.

The above measures are supplementary measures and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for net operating income/(loss), net income/(loss) and earnings per share, which are the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measures. The reconciliation tables later in this report reconcile

the above non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure or measures. There are material limitations associated with the above measures compared with the IFRS Accounting Standards measures, as these non-GAAP measures do not include all the items of revenues/ gains or expenses/losses of Equinor that are required to evaluate its profitability on an overall basis. The non-GAAP measures are only intended to be indicative of the underlying developments in trends of our on-going operations.

Amended principles for Adjusted operating income with effect from the first quarter of 2024:

Equinor has made the following changes to the items adjusted for within Adjusted operating income: With effect from the first quarter of 2024, Equinor no longer adjusts for over-/underlift to arrive at adjusted operating income. Over-/underlift is presented using the sales method. The sales revenues and associated costs are reflected in adjusted operating income when the physical volumes are lifted and sold rather than when they are produced, in line with IFRS Accounting Standards. Removing this adjustment is the result of a comprehensive materiality assessment and an effort to streamline our reporting. This change is part of our ongoing commitment to improve the alternative performance measures we present, ensuring that the adjustments are meaningful to users of the financial statements and supplementary information.

These changes have been applied retrospectively to the comparative figures. This change only affects the E&P Norway and E&P International reporting segments and does not impact the comparative figures of other segments.

SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURES

Adjusted operating income adjust for the following items:

  • • Changes in fair value of derivatives: In the ordinary course of business, Equinor enters into commodity derivative contracts to manage the price risk exposure relating to future sale and purchase contracts. These commodity derivatives are measured at fair value at each reporting date, with the movements in fair value recognised in the income statement. By contrast, the related sale and purchase contracts are not recognised until the transaction occurs resulting in timing differences. Therefore, with effect from the first quarter of 2023, the unrealised movements in the fair value of these commodity derivative contracts are excluded from adjusted operating income and deferred until the time of the physical delivery to minimise the effect of these timing differences. Further, embedded derivatives within certain gas contracts and contingent consideration related to historical divestments are carried at fair value. Any accounting impacts resulting from such changes in fair value are also excluded from adjusted operating income, as these fluctuations are not indicative of the underlying performance of the business.
  • • Periodisation of inventory hedging effect: Equinor enters into derivative contracts to manage price risk exposure relating to its commercial storage. These derivative contracts are carried at fair value while the inventories are accounted for at the lower of cost or market price. An adjustment is made to align the valuation principles of inventories with related derivative contracts. The adjusted valuation of inventories is based on the forward price at the expected realisation date. This is so that the

valuation principles between commercial storages and derivative contracts are better aligned.

  • • The operational storage is not hedged and is not part of the trading portfolio. Cost of goods sold is measured based on the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, and includes realised gains or losses that arise due to changes in market prices. These gains or losses will fluctuate from one period to another and are not considered part of the underlying operations for the period.
  • • Impairment and reversal of impairment are excluded from adjusted operating income since they affect the economics of an asset for the lifetime of that asset, not only the period in which it is impaired, or the impairment is reversed. Impairment and reversal of impairment can impact both the exploration expenses and the depreciation, amortisation and net impairment line items.
  • • Gain or loss from sales of assets is eliminated from the measure since the gain or loss does not give an indication of future performance or periodic performance; such a gain or loss is related to the cumulative value creation from the time the asset is acquired until it is sold.
  • • Eliminations (Internal unrealised profit on inventories): Volumes derived from equity oil inventory vary depending on several factors and inventory strategies, i.e., level of crude oil in inventory, equity oil used in the refining process and level of in-transit cargoes. Internal profit related to volumes sold between entities within the group, and still in inventory at period end, is eliminated according to IFRS Accounting Standards (write down to production cost). The proportion of realised versus unrealised gain fluctuates from

one period to another due to inventory strategies and consequently impact net operating income/ (loss). Write-down to production cost is not assessed to be a part of the underlying operational performance, and elimination of internal profit related to equity volumes is excluded in adjusted operating income.

  • • Other items of income and expense are adjusted when the impacts on income in the period are not reflective of Equinor's underlying operational performance in the reporting period. Such items may be unusual or infrequent transactions, but they may also include transactions that are significant which would not necessarily qualify as either unusual or infrequent. However, other items adjusted do not constitute normal, recurring income and operating expenses for the company. Other items are carefully assessed and can include transactions such as provisions related to reorganisation, early retirement, etc.
  • • Change in accounting policy is adjusted when the impacts on income in the period are unusual or infrequent, and not reflective of Equinor's underlying operational performance in the reporting period.

Adjusted net income incorporates the adjustments above, as well as the following items impacting net financial items:

• Changes in fair value of financial derivatives used to hedge interest bearing instruments. Equinor enters into financial derivative contracts to manage interest rate risk on long term interest-bearing liabilities including bonds and financial loans. The financial derivative contracts (hedging instruments) are measured at fair value at each reporting date,

with movements in fair value recognised in the income statement. The long term interest-bearing labilities are measured at amortised cost and not remeasured at fair value at each reporting date. This creates measurement differences and therefore the movements in the fair value of these financial derivative contracts and associated tax effects are excluded from the calculation of adjusted net income and deferred until the time the underlying instrument is matured, exercised, or settled. Management believes that this appropriately reflects the economic effect of these risk management activities in each period and provides an indication of Equinor's underlying financial performance.

  • • Foreign currency gains/losses on positions used to manage currency risk exposure related to future payments in NOK and foreign currency gains/ losses on certain intercompany bank balances. Foreign currency gains/losses on positions used to manage currency risk exposure (cash equivalents/ financial investments and related currency derivatives where applicable), as well as currency gains/losses on certain intercompany bank balances are eliminated from adjusted net income. The currency effects on intercompany bank balances are mainly due to a large part of Equinor's operations having NOK as functional currency, and the effects are offset within equity as other comprehensive income arising on translation from functional currency to presentation currency USD. These currency effects increase volatility in financial performance, which does not reflect Equinor's underlying financial performance.
    • Management believes that these adjustments remove periodic fluctuations in Equinor's adjusted net income.

CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES

SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURES

Net debt to capital employed ratio – In Equinor's view, net debt ratios provide a more informative picture of Equinor's financial strength than gross interest-bearing financial debt. Three different net debt to capital ratios are presented in this report: 1) net debt to capital employed, 2) net debt to capital employed adjusted, including lease liabilities, and 3) net debt to capital employed adjusted. These calculations are all based on Equinor's gross interest-bearing financial liabilities as recorded in the Consolidated balance sheet and exclude cash, cash equivalents and current financial investments.

The following adjustments are made in calculating the net debt to capital employed adjusted, including lease liabilities ratio and the net debt to capital employed adjusted ratio: collateral deposits (classified as Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated balance sheet), and financial investments held in Equinor Insurance AS (classified as Current financial investments in the Consolidated balance sheet) are treated as non-cash and excluded from the calculation of these non-GAAP measures. Collateral deposits are excluded since they relate to certain requirements of exchanges where Equinor is trading and presented as restricted cash. Financial investments in Equinor Insurance are excluded as these investments are not readily available for the group to meet short term commitments. These adjustments result in a higher net debt figure and in Equinor's view provides a more prudent measure of the net debt to capital employed ratio than would be the case without such exclusions. Additionally, lease liabilities are further excluded in calculating the net debt

to capital employed adjusted ratio. The table Calculation of capital employed and net debt to capital employed ratio later in this report details the calculations for these non-GAAP measures and reconciles them with the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards financial measure or measures.

Organic capital expenditures (organic investments/ capex) – Capital expenditures, defined as Additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted investments as presented in note 2 Segments to the Condensed interim financial statements. Organic capital expenditures are capital expenditures excluding expenditures related to acquisitions, leased assets and other investments with significantly different cash flow patterns. Equinor believes this measure gives stakeholders relevant information to understand the company's investments in maintaining and developing its assets. Forward-looking organic capital expenditures included in this report are not reconcilable to its most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure without unreasonable efforts, because the amounts excluded from such IFRS Accounting Standards measure to determine organic capital expenditures cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty.

Gross capital expenditures (gross capex) – Gross capital expenditures represent capital expenditures, defined as Additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted investments as presented in the financial statements, excluding additions to right of use assets related to leases and capital expenditures financed

through government grants. Equinor adds the proportionate share of capital expenditures in equity accounted investments not included in Additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted investments. Equinor believes that by excluding additions to right of use assets related to leases, this measure better reflects the company's investments in the business to drive growth. Forward-looking gross capital expenditures included in this report are not reconcilable to its most directly comparable IFRS measure without unreasonable efforts, because the amounts included or excluded from such IFRS measure to determine gross capital expenditures cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty.

Cash flows from operations after taxes paid (CFFO after taxes paid) represents, and is used

by management, to evaluate cash generated from operating activities after taxes paid, which is available for investing activities, debt servicing and distribution to shareholders. Cash flows from operations after taxes paid is not a measure of our liquidity under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported in this report. Our definition of Cash flows from operations after taxes paid is limited and does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. The table Calculation of CFFO after taxes paid and net cash flow later in this report provides a reconciliation of Cash flows from operations after taxes paid to its most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure, Cash flows provided by operating activities before taxes paid and working capital items,

as of the specified dates. Forward-looking cash flows from operations after taxes paid included in this report are not reconcilable to its most directly comparable IFRS measure without unreasonable efforts, because the amounts included or excluded from such IFRS measure to determine cash flows from operations after taxes paid cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty.

Net cash flow - Net cash flow represents, and is used by management to evaluate, cash generated from operational and investing activities available for debt servicing and distribution to shareholders. Net cash flow is not a measure of our liquidity under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported in this report. Our definition of Net cash flow is limited and does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. The table Calculation of CFFO after taxes paid and net cash flow later in this report provides a reconciliation of Net cash flow to its most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure, Cash flows provided by operating activities before taxes paid and working capital items, as of the specified dates.

1) Other interest-bearing elements are cash and cash equivalents adjustments regarding collateral deposits classified as cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated balance sheet but considered as non-cash in the non-GAAP calculations as well as financial investments in Equinor Insurance AS classified as current financial investments.

2) Adjustment to net interest-bearing debt for cash build-up in the first quarter and the third quarter before tax payment on 1 April and 1 October. This is to exclude 50% of the cash build-up to have a more even allocation of tax payments between the four quarters and hence a more representative net interest-bearing debt.

SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURES

End notes

    1. The group's average liquids price is a volumeweighted average of the segment prices of crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids (NGL).
    1. The refining reference margin is a typical gross margin and will differ from the actual margin, due to variations in type of crude and other feedstock, throughput, product yields, freight cost, inventory, etc
  • 3. Liquids volumes include oil, condensate and NGL, exclusive of royalty oil.
    1. Equity volumes represent produced volumes under a production sharing agreement (PSA) that correspond to Equinor's ownership share in a field. Entitlement volumes, on the other hand, represent Equinor's share of the volumes distributed to the partners in the field, which are subject to deductions for, among other things, royalty and the host government's share of profit oil. Under the terms of a PSA, the amount of profit oil deducted from equity volumes will normally increase with the cumulative return on investment to the partners and/or production from the licence. Consequently, the gap between entitlement and equity volumes will likely increase in times of high liquids prices. The distinction between equity and entitlement is relevant to most PSA regimes, whereas it is not applicable in most concessionary regimes such as those in Norway, the UK, the US, Canada and Brazil.
    1. Transactions with the Norwegian state. The Norwegian state, represented by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, is the majority shareholder of Equinor and it also holds major investments in other entities. This ownership structure means that Equinor participates in transactions with many parties that are under a common ownership structure and therefore meet the definition of a related party. Equinor purchases liquids and natural gas from the Norwegian state, represented by SDFI (the State's Direct Financial Interest). In addition, Equinor sells the State's natural gas production in its own name, but for the Norwegian state's account and risk, and related expenditures are refunded by the State.
    1. The production guidance reflects our estimates of proved reserves calculated in accordance with US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines and additional production from other reserves not included in proved reserves estimates.
    1. The group's average realised piped gas prices include all realised piped gas sales, including both physical sales and related paper positions.
    1. The internal transfer price paid from the MMP segment to the E&P Norway and E&P USA segments.
  • Since different legal entities in the group lend to projects and others borrow from banks, project financing through external bank or similar institutions is not netted in the balance sheet and results in over-reporting of the debt stated in the balance sheet compared to the underlying exposure in the group. Similarly, certain net interest-bearing debt incurred from activities pursuant to the Marketing Instruction of the Norwegian government are offset against receivables on the SDFI. Some interest-bearing elements are classified together with non-interest bearing elements and are therefore included when calculating the net interest-bearing debt.
