SECOND QUARTER CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES
Equinor delivered a total equity production of 2,048 mboe per day in the second quarter, up from 1,994 mboe per day in the same quarter last year.
On the NCS, strong operational performance and lower impact from turnarounds, together with new production from the Breidablikk field contributed to a production growth of 5% compared to the second quarter last year. High production particularly from the Troll and Oseberg fields contributed to a 13% increase in gas production, compared to the same period last year.
Internationally, the Buzzard field in the UK and new wells contributed with new production but was more than offset by lower production from the US due to turnarounds offshore and planned curtailments onshore to capture higher value when demand is higher.
In the quarter, Equinor completed seven exploration wells offshore, including the Argerich well in Argentina, with no commercial discoveries. Seven wells were ongoing at the quarter end.
In the second quarter, Equinor produced 655 GWh from renewables, up 90% from the same quarter last year. Production from onshore power plants contributed with more than half of the production in the quarter, mainly from the Rio Energy assets and Mendubim solar plants in Brazil, as well as new production in Poland. The offshore windfarms contributed to the growth with strong production.
Equinor's NCS portfolio progressed in the quarter. Equinor and its partners made an investment decision for further development of gas infrastructure in the Troll West gas province, contributing to energy security to Europe longterm. The Johan Castberg FPSO left the dock for inshore testing and is on track for sail away to the Barents Sea later this summer. The production started from the partneroperated Hanz field in April and from the Kristin South area in July.
Equinor continued to optimise the portfolio through strategic business development. This quarter an agreement with Petoro was announced to harmonise equity interest in the Haltenbanken area to increase long-term value creation, and a divestment of interests in the Gina Krog area. The swap transaction to increase profitability in the US onshore business, exiting the operated position in Ohio and increasing its position in partner-operated assets in Northern Marcellus in Pennsylvania was closed.
Equinor accessed CO₂ storage capacity opportunities of 17 million tonnes per year with the awarded three new licences Kinna and Albondigas on the NCS, and the Kalundborg licence onshore Denmark.
In the UK, construction is progressing on Dogger Bank A offshore wind farm with 27 turbines either fully or partly installed. The project targets full commercial operations during the first half of 2025. Based on this the expected growth in power production from renewables assets in 2024 is now adjusted to be around 70% from the 2023-level.
Equinor delivered adjusted operating income* of USD 7.48 billion, of which USD 6.13 billion from the E&P Norway, USD 699 million from E&P international and USD 264 million from E&P USA.
The Marketing, Midstream & Processing (MMP) segment delivered adjusted operating income* of USD 521 million, mainly from the Gas and Power business, including strong results from LNG trading.
Adjusted operating income* from Renewables was negative USD 90 million, as the costs of project development exceeds the earnings from assets in operations which was USD 41 million in the quarter.
Cash flow from operating activities before taxes paid and working capital items amounted to USD 9.75 billion for the second quarter. Cash flow from operations after taxes paid* was USD 1.90 billion for the quarter, and USD 7.74 billion year to date. Equinor paid two NCS tax instalments, totalling USD 6.98 billion in the quarter. Organic capital expenditure* was USD 2.89 billion for the quarter, and total capital expenditures were USD 4.78 billion. After taxes, capital distribution to shareholders and investments, net cash flow* ended at negative USD 4.22 billion in the second quarter.
Adjusted net debt to capital employed ratio* was negative 3.4% at the end of the second quarter, compared to negative 19.8% at the end of the first quarter of 2024. The calculation of net debt ratio includes the effect of the Norwegian state's share of the share buy-back, at USD 4.02 billion paid in July.
The board of directors has decided an ordinary cash dividend of USD 0.35 per share, and to continue the extraordinary cash dividend of USD 0.35 per share for the second quarter of 2024, in line with communication at the Capital Markets Update in February.
Expected total capital distribution for 2024 is around USD 14 billion, including a share buy-back programme of up to USD 6 billion. The board has decided to initiate a third tranche of the share buy-back programme of up to USD 1.6 billion. The third tranche will commence on 25 July and end no later than 22 October 2024.
The second tranche of the share buy-back programme for 2024 was completed on 19 July 2024 with a total value of USD 1.6 billion.
All share buy-back amounts include shares to be redeemed from the Norwegian State.

Equinor continued to deliver consistently high production levels in the second quarter, supported by a strong operational performance amid seasonal turnaround activity, and reports a 3% growth in total equity liquid and gas production for the quarter from the second quarter of 2023.
The NCS delivered continued production growth driven by the ramp up of Breidablikk and well executed turnaround activities for the quarter and the first half of 2024 when compared to the prior year. Gas production from the NCS during the
second quarter increased by 13% compared to the same period in the prior year, delivered by strong operations, effective turnarounds and supported in part by operational challenges which impacted key gas producing fields in the second quarter of 2023.
The international upstream business benefitted in the quarter from new wells on stream and volumes from the Buzzard field in the UK, which has been contributing from the third quarter of 2023. However, production volumes in the USA were impacted by turnaround activity in the Gulf
CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES
of Mexico and curtailment of production in the Appalachian Basin, resulting in lower volumes for the second quarter relative to the same period in 2023. Production from the international upstream business was consistent with 2023 for the first half of the year.
The addition of onshore power plants in Brazil and Poland during 2023, and the start-up of Mendubim solar projects in 2024, drove an increase of 90% and 64% in renewable power generation for the second quarter and first half of 2024 respectively compared to 2023. Power generation from Triton Power reduced compared to 2023 due to low clean spark spreads.
Higher production volumes, together with increased third-party sales, an overlift position and the higher liquids prices resulted in an increase in revenue in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2023. The increase was partially offset by the reduction in gas prices from the second quarter of 2023.
Gas prices were lower in 2024 driving a downward trend in revenues for the first half of 2024 relative to 2023 despite the increase in production volumes.
In the second quarter of 2024 our Marketing, Midstream and Processing segment delivered good results from gas and power trading, particularly equity and third-party LNG trading. However, lower refinery throughput due to maintenance and reduced margins from physical sales negatively impacted this contribution.
Adjusted operating and administrative expenses* increased in the second quarter of 2024 due to
higher production capacity across the portfolio, increased operations and maintenance activity and a change to a net overlift position in the quarter, partially offset by lower cost of purchases of CO₂ quotas. An underlift position in the first quarter of the year softened the increase in operational maintenance costs for the first half of 2024. Costs associated with the development and future capacity building of the renewables and low carbon solutions portfolios are also increasing and impacting the results.
The ramp up of new fields, increased production and the inclusion of Buzzard contributed to an overall increase in adjusted depreciation, amortisation and net impairments* in the second quarter and first half of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.
In the second quarter of 2024, exploration expenses include the impact of expensing a dry offshore well in Argentina. Exploration costs associated with Bacalhau were expensed earlier in the year. The prior year includes the capitalisation of previously expensed well costs resulting in an overall notable increase in exploration expenses for the second quarter and first half of 2024.
Net financial items in the quarter and in the first half of 2024 reduced from the same periods in the prior year due to less favourable foreign currency exchange movements of the USD versus the NOK.
The effective reported tax rate of 70.7% for the first half of 2024 increased compared to 67.8% in 2023 due to currency effects in entities that are taxable
in other currencies than the functional currency. The effective reported tax rate of 75.1% for the second quarter of 2024 decreased compared to 75.2% in 2023. The decrease in effective tax rate was mainly due to lower share of income from jurisdictions with high tax rates partly offset by currency effects in entities that are taxable in other currencies than the functional currency.
The effective tax rate on adjusted operating income* of 68.5% for the first half of 2024 decreased compared to 70.6% in 2023 due to decreased prior period adjustments in 2024 compared with 2023. The effective tax rate on adjusted operating income* of 71.2% for the second quarter of 2024 increased compared to 70.4% in 2023 due to higher share of adjusted operating income* from jurisdictions with high tax rates in 2024 compared to 2023.
An adjusted net income* result of USD 2,417 million and a net income of USD 1,872 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2024.
The strong operational performance in the second quarter of 2024 translated into solid financial results and cash flow provided by operating activities before taxes paid and working capital items of USD 9,748 million. The less favourable cash impact of financial instruments in the second quarter of 2024 impacts this operating result when compared to the same quarter in the prior year.
Cash flow from operations after taxes paid* increased compared to the second quarter of 2023, from an outflow of USD 356 million to an inflow
of USD 1,898 million, primarily due to lower tax payments reflecting the lower price environment of 2023 relative to 2022. For the first half of 2024 cash flow from operations after taxes paid* was USD 7,737 million, down from USD 9,360 million in the prior year.
Taxes paid of USD 7,850 million in the second quarter have increased relative to the prior quarter primarily due to payment of the last two Norwegian corporation income tax instalments relating to 2023 results, totalling USD 6,982 million. One instalment was paid in the first quarter.
Working capital was stable in the second quarter of 2024 whereas the cash flow in the second quarter of 2023 was positively impacted by a working capital decrease of USD 2,214 million.
A negative net cash flow* of USD 4,222 million in the second quarter reflects the increased number of tax instalments from the prior quarter and continued high capital distribution levels. The net cash flow* has increased when compared to the second quarter of 2023 which is primarily due to the timing of the payment to the Norwegian state for the share buy-back programme. During 2023 a payment of USD 3,639 million was made in the second quarter whereas in 2024 the Norwegian state payment will be made in the third quarter.
During the quarter equity was impacted by capital distributions of USD 8.5 billion, including dividends from the previous two quarters and share buy-back of USD 4,484 million which includes the state's share for the second, third and fourth tranches of the 2023 programme and the first tranche of the 2024
SECOND QUARTER 2024 REVIEW CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES
programme. This reduction in equity combined with a decrease in liquid assets in the quarter caused a movement in the net debt to capital employed adjusted ratio* at the end of June 2024 from negative 19.8% at the end of March 2024 to negative 3.4%.
The board of directors has decided an ordinary cash dividend of USD 0.35 per share, and to continue the extraordinary cash dividend of USD 0.35 per share for the second quarter of 2024, in line with communication at the Capital Markets Update in February.
Expected total capital distribution for 2024 is around USD 14 billion, including a share buy-back programme of up to USD 6 billion. The board has decided to initiate a third tranche of the share buyback programme of up to USD 1.6 billion. The third tranche will commence on 25 July and end no later than 22 October 2024.
The second tranche of the share buy-back programme for 2024 was completed on 19 July 2024 with a total value of USD 1.6 billion.
All share buy-back amounts include shares to be redeemed from the Norwegian State.
The twelve-month average serious incident frequency (SIF) for the period ending 30 June 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 5.6 million tonnes CO₂e for the first half of 2024. This represents a decrease of 0.2 million tonnes CO₂e from the first half of the prior year. Turnaround at Mongstad, partial electrification of Troll C and decommission of Heimdal impacted the result in the first half 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.
The description of key risks in chapter 5.2 (Risk Factors) of Equinor's Integrated Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, provides an overview of the principal risks and uncertainties which may affect Equinor in the remaining six months of the financial year. The Strategic and commercial risks, Security, safety and environmental risks, and Compliance and control risks described therein and summarised in the section "Forward Looking Statements" in the Supplementary disclosures could, separately or in combination, have an adverse effect on our operational and financial performance (including cash flows and liquidity), the implementation of our strategy, our reputation and the market price of our securities.

In the second quarter of 2024, E&P Norway exhibited strong production levels compared to the same quarter last year, which was marked by operational challenges on gas-producing fields. The higher production levels were supported by well-executed turnarounds, and ramp up of new fields, including Breidablikk and partner-operated Hanz. Gas production increased by 13%, whereas liquids production was down by 2% compared to the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in liquids production was driven by natural decline and planned turnarounds in various fields. These robust production levels in the second quarter contributed to the overall higher production in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period last year.
Although gas prices were lower in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of last year, the liquids prices were higher. The development in liquids prices combined with robust gas production resulted in a relatively consistent level of revenues.
The sharp decline in gas prices during 2023 and into 2024 was the main driver of lower revenues for the first half of 2024.
Higher operations and maintenance costs increased operating and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year. This increase was partially offset by the reduction in CO₂ prices and the Statfjord area divestment. In contrast, operating and administrative expenses decreased in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period last year primarily due to an underlift effect in the first quarter of 2024.
In the second quarter and first half 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.
Despite a lower exploration activity level (9 wells this quarter compared to 12 wells in the second quarter last year), a higher cost per well and lower capitalisation rate led to an increase in exploration expenses in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same quarter last year. Lower activity level and drilling cost, partially offset by lower capitalisation rate contributed to reduced exploration expenses in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period last year.

The growth in equity production in the second quarter and first half of 2024 compared to last year was mainly driven by new wells and the addition of the Buzzard field in the UK. Reduced turnaround activities, also contributed to the overall rise in production levels. This growth was partially offset by natural decline and operational issues in certain fields.
The increase in production sharing agreements (PSA) effects in the second quarter and first half of 2024 compared to the same periods last year was driven by higher production from Angola PSA fields and higher liquids prices.
The increase in lifting in the second quarter and the first half of 2024 compared to same periods last year, along with higher realised prices contributed to the increase in revenues.
Adjusted operating and administrative expenses* for the second quarter and first half of 2024 were higher relative to the same periods last year due to increased production, higher liftings, and a shift from a net underlift position to a net overlift position. Additionally, the inclusion of Buzzard field in the UK raised the overall cost base.
Depreciation in the second quarter of this year remained mostly unchanged from 2023, as the addition of the Buzzard field was offset by the ACG classification as held for sale. However, depreciation increased in the first half of 2024, due to the addition of the Buzzard field and higher production from certain fields which was partially offset by the cessation of depreciation on ACG field in Azerbaijan following the divestment agreement with SOCAR.
The increase in exploration expenses in the second quarter and first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was driven by the capitalisation of previously expensed exploration wells in Brazil from last year. An expensed exploration well in Argentina, higher seismic activities this quarter, and the expensing of Bacalhau appraisal well costs in Brazil in the first quarter of this year also contributed to the increase.
In the first half of 2023, net operating income was negatively impacted by the divestment from Corrib in early 2023.
The reduction in additions to PP&E, intangibles, and equity accounted investments in the current quarter and first half year of 2024, compared to the same periods in 2023, is primarily due to the acquisition of Suncor Energy UK Limited in the second quarter of 2023.

In the second quarter and first half of 2024, E&P USA reports lower production compared to the same periods in 2023 mainly due turnaround activity in the Gulf of Mexico and curtailment of production affecting the Appalachia onshore assets. On 31 May 2024, Equinor closed the transaction with EQT to divest an Appalachia operated asset and certain Appalachia non-operated properties in exchange for additional interests in our Appalachia non-operated properties in the North. The transaction had a minimal impact on the production for the quarter.
Revenues in the second quarter and first half of 2024 were impacted by lower production and lower gas prices following continued oversupply in the Appalachia basin area. This was more than offset by higher liquids prices resulting in a 3% increase in revenue for both the second quarter and the first half of the year relative to the same periods in 2023.
Operating and administration expenses slightly increased in the second quarter and first half 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 second quarter and first half 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.
Exploration expenditures were slightly lower in the second quarter of 2024, following the sanctioning of the Sparta project late in 2023, resulting in lower field development expenditures.
The increase in additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted investments in the second quarter and first half year of 2024, compared to the same periods in 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.
Liquids sales volumes remained stable with the first quarter of 2024 and increased compared to the first half of 2023 primarily due to higher sales of thirdparty volumes.
Gas sales were lower compared to the first quarter of 2024 due to lower NCS gas production caused by maintenance activity. The increase in gas sales relative to the second quarter and first half of the prior year was driven by higher NCS gas production and thirdparty sales, partially offset by lower EPI production.
Gas to power generation decreased compared to both the previous quarter and the first half of last year due to a lower clean spark spread.
Realised European piped gas price increased in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the previous quarter, due to an increase in market prices driven by geopolitical risks and supply disruptions. Compared to the same quarter last year, the realised European piped gas price decreased due to mild temperatures and lower market prices driven by high storage levels and reduced demand.
Realised piped gas price in the US decreased in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the previous quarter due to high storage levels resulting from a mild winter in the first quarter. Compared to the second quarter of last year, prices increased slightly due to cuts in gas production in the second quarter of this year.
Gas and Power contributed significantly to adjusted operating income* during the second quarter of 2024, supported by strong equity and third-party LNG trading, along with the realisation of physical gas sales and geographical optimisation. Crude, Products, and Liquids results were positively influenced by physical sales and shipping optimisation. The Other sub-segment was impacted by higher activity levels associated with developing low-carbon projects and reduced refinery throughput due to planned maintenance.
Adjusted operating income* decreased compared to the previous quarter. The result from Crude, Products and Liquids decreased from the significant contributions of the prior quarter, caused by lower margins from physical sales and less favourable results from paper trading. Lower refinery throughput also contributed to the reduction in adjusted operating income*.
Adjusted operating income* year to date was lower than the same period last year, driven by lower Crude, Products and Liquid margins, lower refinery throughput, reduced clean spark spread and higher costs associated with 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 second quarter and first half of 2024 compared to the same periods of 2023 was driven by the addition of onshore power plants in Brazil and Poland, and the successful start of production at the partner operated Mendubim solar plants in Brazil. Total onshore renewables generated 347 GWh in the second quarter of 2024. Despite the delays in completion of the Dogger Bank A wind farm until 2025, offshore wind farms generated 287 GWh, with the majority coming from Dudgeon, Sheringham Shoal and Arkona.
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 second quarter and first half of 2024 compared to the same periods last year. Net income/(loss) from equity-accounted investments increased significantly in the second quarter and first half of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.
The positive result from joint venture assets in operation remained stable compared to the second quarter of last year, as the increase in power generation was offset by lower prices. In the second quarter and first half of 2024, the increase in net results was driven by reduced project development costs compared to the same periods last year, following the capitalistion of
Bałtyk, the offshore wind project in Poland, in the third quarter of 2023, and the divestment of the Beacon Wind project through an asset swap transaction between Equinor and bp in the first quarter of 2024.
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 second quarter and first half of 2024 compared to the same periods last year. This increase was partially offset by favourable adjustments.
Net operating loss for the first half of 2024 increased compared to the same period of 2023, mainly due to a USD 147 million net loss following the asset swap transaction between Equinor and bp, 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 in the first quarter of 2024.
Additions to PP&E, intangibles, and equity accounted investments for the second quarter of 2024 increased compared to the same quarter last year. In the second quarter of 2024, USD 24 million for onshore renewables and USD 576 million was allocated for offshore wind projects, primarily related to the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) in the US and investments related to projects in Europe.

SECOND QUARTER CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES
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 second quarter of 2024 were authorised for issue by the board of directors on 23 July 2024.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 has been revised to 10.0 (previously 8.5), the EUR/NOK rate has been revised to 11.5 (previously 10.0) and the USD/GBP rate has been revised to 1.30 (previously 1.35). This conclusion is supported by the historical 5-year average and forward spot prices in the currency market.

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 has 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 have been 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).
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 have been accounted for as asset acquisitions, and previous holdings have not been 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 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.
When attributing the line item Revenues from contracts with customers for the second quarter of 2024 to the country of the legal entity executing the sale, Norway constitutes 80% and the USA constitutes 18% of such revenues (79% and 18%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2024 and 76% and 20%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2023). For the first half of 2024, Norway and the USA constituted 79% and 18% of such revenues, respectively (81% and 16% respectively for the first half of 2023). Revenues from contracts with customers are mainly reflecting such revenues from the reporting segment MMP.

Equinor reports a decrease in Net foreign currency exchange gains in the first half of 2024 compared to first half prior year. The gains mainly related to strengthening of USD versus NOK in both periods, with a lesser strengthening in the first half of 2024 than prior year.
Equinor has a US Commercial paper programme available with a limit of USD 5 billion. As of 30 June 2024, USD 0.2 billion were utilised compared to USD 1.9 billion utilised as of 31 December 2023.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter and the first half of 2024 was significantly influenced by currency effects in entities that are taxable in other currencies than the functional currency. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was also influenced by higher share of income from jurisdictions with relatively high tax rates.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2023 was significantly influenced by higher share of income from the Norwegian continental shelf. The effective rate for the first half of 2023 was significantly influenced by the lower share of income before tax from the Norwegian continental shelf and currency effects in entities that are taxable in other currencies than the functional currency.
Equinor's estimated asset retirement obligations (ARO) have decreased by approximately USD 0.6 billion to USD 11.8 billion at 30 June 2024 compared to yearend 2023, mainly due to increased discount rates and strengthening of USD versus NOK. Changes in ARO are reflected within Property, plant and equipment and Provisions and other liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheet.
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.
On 23 July 2024, the Board of Directors resolved to declare an ordinary cash dividend for the second 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 18 November 2024 on the Oslo Børs and 19 November for ADR holders on the New York Stock Exchange. Record date will be 19 November 2024 and payment date will be 29 November 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.
In February 2024, Equinor launched the first tranche of USD 1,200 million, of which USD 389 million was acquired in the market in first quarter and USD 7 million was acquired in second quarter. In May 2024, Equinor launched the second 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 second tranche, shares for USD 390 million have been purchased in the market and settled at 30 June 2024, whereas USD 528 million have been recognised as reduction in equity. The market execution of the second tranche was completed in July 2024.
On 23 July 2024, the Board of Directors decided to initiate a third share buy-back tranche of up to USD 1,600 million for 2024, including shares to be redeemed from the Norwegian State. The third tranche will start 25 July 2024 and will end no later than 22 October 2024.
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 liability to the Norwegian State of USD 3,956 million (NOK 42,801 million) following the capital reduction has been recognised as reduction in equity and was settled in July 2024. A proportionate share of the second and third tranche of the 2024 programme will be redeemed and cancelled at the annual general meeting in May 2025.

The following financial measures included in this report may be considered non-GAAP financial measures:
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 in reporting segments and includes adjustments to net operating income/(loss) to take the applicable marginal tax into consideration. 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 (or calculated tax on net operating income and on each of the adjusting items using an estimated marginal tax rate). 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
• 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 certain intercompany bank and cash balances are eliminated from adjusted net income. These currency effects 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 this adjustment removes periodic fluctuations in Equinor's adjusted net income.
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
CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES
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.
