"Equinor delivered solid earnings in a quarter affected by turnarounds and energy prices down from the extraordinary levels last year. We have increased the production capacity on Johan Sverdrup and achieved record production from the field. Our international portfolio had strong production in the quarter. We continue with significant capital distribution and expect a total distribution of 17 billion dollars in 2023."
"In the quarter we made good progress on our project portfolio. Together with our partners, we took the final investment decision on the BM-C-33 project in Brazil. Development of two subsea tie-back fields on the NCS were approved, both are expected to quickly contribute to new production to the market with low costs and emissions from production. Last week we entered into an agreement to acquire the renewables company Rio Energy, and we expect first power from Dogger Bank during the summer."

CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL 4 CONTENTS STATEMENTS AND NOTES SUPPLEMENTARY
Equinor delivered total equity production of 1,994 mboe per day for the second quarter, slightly above the 1,984 mboe per day in the same quarter of 2022. Increased capacity for Johan Sverdrup to 755,000 boe per day, and high production from the Peregrino field in Brazil contributed to the strong liquids production in the quarter. This was partially offset by gas production on the NCS reduced by planned maintenance, the temporary shutdown of Hammerfest LNG and fields connected to the third-party operated Nyhamna gas process facility.
Power production from renewable energy sources was 345 GWh in the quarter, up from 325 GWh for the same quarter last year. The increase was mainly driven by production from the floating wind farm Hywind Tampen on the NCS and new solar plants in Poland. Including gas-to-power production in the UK, total power production ended at 947 GWh for the quarter.
Equinor progressed the project portfolio with the final investment decision for the BM-C-33 project in Brazil and received approval for the development of the subsea tie-back fields Irpa and Verdande on the NCS.
Equinor completed 7 exploration wells offshore with 3 commercial discoveries in the quarter. 10 wells were ongoing at the quarter end.
At the world's largest offshore wind farm Dogger Bank in the UK, the first turbine components are being loaded out and first power is expected during summer. Full commercial production for Dogger Bank A is expected in third quarter 2024.
Equinor continues to develop low-carbon value chains in collaboration with industrial partners. In the quarter Equinor agreed with Engie to cooperate and explore co-investments in decarbonised thermal power production in France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Equinor realised a price for piped gas to Europe of USD 11.5 per mmbtu and realised liquids price was USD 70.3 per bbl, down by 58% and 34%, respectively, compared to the second quarter 2022.
Equinor delivered solid adjusted earnings* at USD 7.54 billion and USD 2.25 billion after tax. This is down from the same quarter last year mainly due to the lower prices for liquids and gas.
The Marketing, Midstream & Processing (MMP) segment delivered solid results, in the upper half of the updated guided range for adjusted earnings* of 400-800 million, in a market characterised by lower prices and volatility than the same quarter last year. The result was driven by crude and gas trading and optimisation.
Cash flow provided by operating activities before taxes paid and working capital items amounted to USD 10.5 billion for the second quarter. Based on the strong 2022 earnings Equinor paid two NCS tax instalments, totalling at USD 10 billion. In the second half of the year NCS tax instalments are related to expected 2023 results and consist of three instalments of around USD 3.75 billion(1), of which one is to be paid in the third quarter.
Organic capital expenditure* was USD 2.29 billion for the quarter, and total capital expenditures were USD 4.35 billion. After taxes, capital distribution to shareholders and investments, net cash flow* ended at negative USD 10.8 billion for the second quarter.
Equinor maintains a strong financial position with adjusted net debt to capital employed ratio* at negative 35.1% by the end of the second quarter, from negative 52.3% at the end of the first quarter of 2023.
The board of directors has decided an ordinary cash dividend of USD 0.30 per share, and to continue the extraordinary cash dividend of USD 0.60 per share for the second quarter of 2023, in line with communication at the Capital Markets Update in February.
Expected total capital distribution for 2023 is around USD 17 billion, including a share buy-back programme of USD 6 billion. The board of directors has decided to initiate a third tranche of the share buy-back programme for 2023 of USD 1.67 billion. The third tranche will commence on 27 July and end no later than 26 October 2023.
The second tranche of the share buy-back programme for 2023 was completed on 12 July 2023 with a total value of around USD 1.67 billion.
All share buy-back amounts include shares to be redeemed by the Norwegian State.

CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL 6 CONTENTS STATEMENTS AND NOTES SUPPLEMENTARY
Equinor delivers stable total production despite specific operational issues on the NCS this quarter. During the second quarter of 2023, Equinor had a 12% growth in liquid equity production, while gas equity production fell by 11% relative to the second quarter of 2022.
Liquid production growth for the international portfolio in the second quarter and first half of 2023 was mainly driven by stable and solid contributions from the Peregrino field in Brazil which restarted in the second half of 2022 and the ramp-up of the partner operated Vito in the US Gulf of Mexico following its start-up in the first quarter of this year. Increased production was also generated from the Cesar Tonga oil field in the USA following technical improvements made in the prior year.
On the NCS, Johan Sverdrup, including phase two which came on stream in December 2022, has been operating at an increased plateau of 755 mboe per day during the quarter driving the positive additions to E&P Norway liquid production. Offsetting the increased liquid production, turnaround activity in the quarter primarily occurring on gas fields, and specific operational challenges experienced on the NCS negatively impacted gas production for E&P Norway. Two isolated events impacted gas production for the quarter; Hammerfest LNG shutdown and postponed start-up after turnaround at the third-party operated Nyhamna facility, affecting gas production from Aasta Hansteen and Ormen Lange. The Nyhamna
event reduced total gas production from the NCS this quarter compared to the same quarter last year.
Lower price realisation, compared to extraordinary highs witnessed in the second quarter of 2022, effectuated decreases in revenue and total results for the second quarter and first half of 2023 compared to the prior year despite the slight increase in total production. Solid contributions to the overall business results from the Marketing Midstream and Processing segment were driven by strong results from crude and gas trading and optimisation. The reduction compared to the prior year is influenced by reduced market volatility in gas and power.
Equinor continues to proactively manage increases in operating and administrative expenses arising from inflationary pressures. Transportation costs, driven by higher volumes sold and a strong freight market, combined with increased maintenance activity and field costs, were the primary contributors to the increase in operating and administrative expenses in the quarter. The strengthening of the USD against the NOK during the quarter impacted the visibility of these increases in the reported costs. The current strengthening on the NOK will have a future impact on our costs reported in USD.
The increase in depreciation and amortisation for the second quarter compared to 2022 is driven by an increase in production across the international portfolio, partially offset by the divestment of a 19% ownership share in Martin Linge in the second half of 2022.
During the second quarter of 2023, E&P International capitalised USD 227 million previously expensed exploration expenses in relation to exploration wells in Brazil BM-C-33 resulting in a reduction in exploration expenses, and operating expenses, for the second quarter and first half of 2023 compared to 2022.
The reported effective tax rate was 75.2% for the second quarter of 2023 (65.8% for the second quarter of 2022) and 67.8% for the first half of 2023 (69.0% for the first half of 2022). The movement in reported tax rates in the quarter and first half of the year has been dependent on the relative share of income before tax from the Norwegian continental shelf. This was higher in the second quarter of 2023 than 2022 and lower in the first half of 2023 than 2022.
The effective tax rate on adjusted earnings* of 70.2% for the second quarter of 2023 and 70.5% for the first half increased compared to 69.9% and 69.6% in 2022 due to the recognition of the US deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2022.
The significant downward movement in commodity prices from unprecedented highs in the second quarter of 2022 is the primary driver for the reduction in cashflow provided by operating activities before taxes paid and working capital items from USD 18,066 million in the second quarter of 2022 to USD 10,485 million in the second quarter of 2023.
The last two Norwegian corporate income tax instalments relating to 2022 results were paid in the second quarter of 2023 totalling USD 10,044 million. The increase in taxes paid of USD 5,252 million compared to taxes paid in the first quarter, was due to only one instalment being paid in the first quarter. From the third quarter of 2023 NCS tax payments are at a reduced amount of approximately USD 3.75 billion (NOK 37.5 billion) per instalment reflecting the lower price environment of the current year compared to 2022.
Working capital reduction of USD 2,214 million in the second quarter positively impacts cash flow (increase of USD 1,160 million in the second quarter of 2022).
Net cash flow* was impacted by the timing of substantial cash outflows relating to 2022 coupled with reduced inflows from lower prices in 2023. In addition to the Norwegian corporate income tax instalments, increased outflows included dividend payments and payments to the Norwegian state for the second, third, fourth tranche of the 2022, and first tranche of the 2023 share buy-back programme. Net cash flow* decreased by USD 17,386 million to negative USD 10,758 million for the second quarter and USD 25,875 million to negative USD 6,558 million for the first half of 2023.
The adjusted net debt to capital employed ratio* was negative 35.1% at the end of June 2023, an increase from negative 52.3% at the end of March 2023. The increase mainly relates to a reduction in financial

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. Our future financial performance, including cash flow and liquidity, will be affected by the extent and duration of the current market conditions, the development in realised prices, including price differentials and other factors discussed elsewhere in the report.

During the second quarter of 2023 liquids volumes increased 12% compared to 2022, however the gas volumes fell by 14%.
Johan Sverdrup phase 2 volumes and increased total capacity on the field made significant positive contributions to production during the second quarter of 2023. Sale of ownership shares in Martin Linge and Ekofisk reducing Equinor's share of production compared to the same quarter last year, combined with specific unplanned operational challenges experienced in the quarter, offset the increased production from Johan Sverdrup. During the second quarter of 2023 operational challenges included Hammerfest LNG shutdown and a postponed start-up after turnaround on Nyhamna, impacting production from natural gas producing assets, Aasta Hansteen and Ormen Lange. Periodic turnaround activity during the quarter also contributed to a reduction in production levels from the second quarter in 2022.
Gas production represents 51% of the total production which is lower than the 57% achieved in the same quarter last year. The decrease is mainly due to production of more liquid volumes from Johan
Sverdrup, planned periodic maintenance and operational issues.
Reduced gas and liquids commodity prices from the unprecedented highs in 2022, combined with lower gas production in the period drove a decrease in revenues in the second quarter and the first half of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.
In the second quarter and first half of 2023, higher field costs and higher environmental costs from increased CO2 quota and CO2 tax prices combined with higher operations and maintenance costs were the main drivers for increased operating and administrative expenses compared to the same period last year. The divestment of a 19% ownership share in Martin Linge in second half of 2022 led to a decrease in depreciation and amortisation in the first half of 2023. The development of the USD/NOK exchange rate in 2023 had a significant positive effect on the reported total operating expense.
In the first half of 2022 total operating expenses were positively impacted by net impairment reversals of USD 817 million for E&P Norway.

Production growth in the second quarter and the first half of 2023 compared to last year, was positively impacted by the restart of production at the Peregrino field in Brazil in July 2022 and the start-up of phase 2 in October 2022. Effects from turnarounds, natural decline in several mature fields, and Corrib divestment earlier in the year partially offset the increase in the quarter and first half of 2023. The decrease in production sharing agreements (PSA) effects was primarily caused by a decrease in production from several fields with PSAs, combined with lower prices.
Lower prices for liquids and gas were the main drivers of the decrease in revenues in the second quarter and the first half of 2023 compared to the same periods last year. This was partially offset by the increase in entitlement production and the fair value of derivatives impacting revenues positively by USD 92 million in the first half of 2023.
Total operating expenses decreased in the second quarter and the first half of 2023 compared to last year, primarily due to reduced exploration expenses, affected by capitalised previously expensed exploration wells in Brazil BM-C-33 of USD 227 million. The decrease was offset by higher operations and maintenance expenses related to turnarounds in several fields, in addition to increased royalties and production fees driven by the restart of production at the Peregrino field. This, along with new investments contributed to the increase in depreciation.
In the first half of 2022, net operating income was negatively impacted by impairments of USD 1,095 million, primarily related to the exit from Russia.
The increase in additions to PPE, intangibles and equity accounted investments is due to the acquisition of Suncor Energy UK Limited which was closed in the second quarter of 2023.

Increased production in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 was mainly driven by the continued production ramp up of the Vito field in the US Gulf of Mexico after start-up in the first quarter of 2023, increased production in the Caesar Tonga field in the US Gulf of Mexico due to new flow lines placed in service during the second half of 2022, and additional wells online in the Appalachian basin. The increase was partially offset by a natural decline in the Appalachian basin and several mature fields in the Gulf of Mexico.
Increased entitlement production helped to mitigate some of the downward impacts on revenue caused by the significantly lower price environment.
The start-up of the Vito platform, combined with increased maintenance activity in the Appalachian basin contributed to higher operations and maintenance expenditure for the second quarter and first half of 2023 compared to the prior year. Reduced downtime in certain Gulf of Mexico assets relative to 2022 also contributed to this increase in cost. Depreciation and amortisation increased in the second quarter and first half of 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 due to increased production and added offshore and onshore capital expenditures. The improved proved reserves partially offset the increase. Exploration expenses have reduced in 2023 compared to 2022 due to lower dry well expenses during the current year.
In the first half of 2022 net operating income included net impairment reversals of USD 527 million.

Liquids sales volumes were higher compared to the second quarter of 2022, due to an increase in 3rd party and equity volumes.
Compared to the second quarter of 2022, gas sales were lower due to a decrease in NCS piped gas sales, partially offset by increased volumes from Hammerfest LNG which restarted production in the second quarter of 2022.
Conventional combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) activities increased Equinor's share of power generation following the acquisition in the second half of 2022 to further strengthen Equinor's energy offering in the UK.
The realised piped gas price Europe decreased compared to the second quarter of last year due to a drop in market prices caused by lower demand, high LNG imports and storage levels.
The realised piped gas price US decreased compared to the second quarter of last year as market prices fell due to high inventories caused by mild temperatures.
During the second quarter of 2023, Gas and Power contributed positively to adjusted earnings* through geographical optimisation of piped gas in Europe, and LNG sales. Crude, Products and Liquids achieved strong results from high margins on the sale of crudes and products as well as gains from geographical arbitrage and capturing opportunities generated through the scale and scope of our shipping portfolio. Adjusted earnings* in Other were negative mainly due to costs related to developing low carbon projects.
Adjusted earnings* decreased from second quarter last year, mainly caused by lower Gas and Power trading result due to lower market volatility, however strong trading results from Crude, Products and Liquids partially offset this decrease.
Crude Products and Liquids contributed to higher adjusted earnings* compared to the first half of 2022 due to strong crude and gasoline margins. Gas and Power increased adjusted earnings* compared to the first half of 2022 mainly due to the restarted LNG deliveries and high clean spark spread from new assets acquired in the second half of 2022.
Net operating income includes effects from changes in fair value related to storage and commodity derivatives used to manage price risk exposure.

In the second quarter of 2023, the power generation came mainly from offshore wind farms Dudgeon, Sheringham Shoal and Arkona, accounting for 251 GWh. Onshore renewables contributed 83 GWh, primarily from Apodi and Guañizuil IIA projects. The slight increase in production compared to the second quarter and the first half of 2022 was mainly driven by new production from onshore power plants in Poland which was partly offset by lower average wind speeds for UK wind farms.
Production starting from solar plants in Poland has driven the increase in revenue compared to the same quarter last year. Compared to the first half of 2022, total revenue, and other income has decreased due to the previous year divestment gains of USD 87 million from the Dogger Bank C wind farm project in the second half of 2022.
Net income/(loss) from equity accounted investments decreased in the second quarter and the first half of 2023 compared to the same periods last year, mainly due to lower prices and higher project costs from projects under development as projects are maturing. Positive contribution of USD 33 million from producing
offshore wind assets to net income for the quarter was more than offset by net losses from projects under development of USD 37 million. Project expenses have increased compared to the second quarter of 2022, mainly driven by increased expenditure in Baltyk projects.
Higher business development expenditure combined with increased activity levels as projects mature leading to an upward trend of operating and administrative expenses in the second quarter and first half of 2023 compared to 2022. Maturing projects costs mainly relates to offshore wind projects in the UK and Asia.
Net operating income decreased significantly in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period last year due to a divestment gain on an equity accounted investment recognised in 2022 and increased development costs in 2023.
Additions to PP&E, intangibles, and equity accounted investments for the second quarter of 2023 was USD 267 million, of which, USD 43 million additions were related to onshore renewables, and USD 224 million additions related to offshore wind projects mainly related to the commercial-scale lease in California.

SECOND QUARTER CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL
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 2023 were authorised for issue by the board of directors on 25 July 2023.
These condensed interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
for a complete set of financial statements, and these condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated annual financial statements for 2022. IFRS as adopted by the EU differs in certain respects from IFRS as issued by the IASB, however the differences do not impact Equinor's financial statements for the periods presented. A description of the material accounting policies applied in preparing these condensed interim financial statements is included in Equinor`s Consolidated annual financial statements for 2022.
There have been no changes to the material accounting policies during 2023 compared to the Consolidated annual financial statements for 2022. 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 2022.
The Condensed interim financial statements are unaudited.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and 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. See note 2 Segments for further information about management's future commodity price 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 described 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 are used for value in use impairment testing. While there are inherent uncertainties in the assumptions, the commodity price assumptions reflect management's best estimate of the price 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. 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 2023. 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 third quarter of 2022 up to and including the first quarter of 2023 are provided in brackets.

On 30 June 2023, Equinor closed a transaction with Suncor Energy UK Holdings Ltd to acquire 100% of the shares in Suncor Energy UK Limited for a total consideration of USD 803 million after customary adjustments for working capital. The transaction includes a non-operated interest in the producing Buzzard oil field (29.89%) and an additional interest in the operated Rosebank development (40%). The transaction has been accounted for within the E&P International segment as a business combination, resulting in an increase in Equinor's property, plant and equipment of USD 1,516 million and deferred tax liabilities of USD 694 million. The purchase price and the purchase price allocation are preliminary.
On 26 January 2023, Equinor closed a transaction with the Bregentved Group and members of the executive board of BeGreen Solar Aps to acquire 100% of the shares in the Danish solar developer BeGreen Solar Aps. The cash consideration amounted to USD 252 million (EUR 235 million), in addition to a consideration contingent on the successful delivery of future solar projects above an agreed megawatt threshold. The transaction has been accounted for within the REN segment as a business combination, resulting in an increase of Equinor's intangible assets of USD 423 million. The purchase price and the purchase price allocation are preliminary.
On 31 March 2023, Equinor closed the transaction with Vermilion Energy Inc (Vermillion) to sell Equinor's non-operated equity position in the Corrib gas project in Ireland, covering 100% of the shares in Equinor Energy Ireland Limited (EEIL). Prior to closing, Equinor received an extraordinary dividend of USD 371 million from EEIL. Total consideration amounted to USD 362 million, including cash settlement of contingent consideration. A loss of USD 258 million has been recognised and presented in the line item Operating expenses in the Consolidated statement of income within the E&P International segment.
When attributing the line item Revenues from contracts with customers for the second quarter of 2023 to the country of the legal entity executing the sale, Norway constitutes 76%, and the USA constitutes 20% of such revenues (81% and 16%, respectively, for the first half of 2023). For the second quarter of 2022, Norway and the USA constituted 84% and 14% of such revenues, respectively (85% and 12% respectively for the first half of 2022).

Equinor reports significant unrealised foreign currency gains in the first half of 2023 and in the first half of 2022, mainly related to the strengthening of USD versus NOK. These effects are mainly due to a large part of Equinor's operations having NOK as a functional currency, and the effects are offset within equity as OCI effects arising on translation from functional currency to presentation currency USD.
The increase in Interest income and other financial items in the second quarter compared to the previous quarter and the same quarter the prior year mainly relates to higher interest rates.
Equinor has a US Commercial paper programme available with a limit of USD 5 billion. As of 30 June 2023, USD 2.4 billion were utilised compared to USD 0.2 billion utilised as of 31 December 2022.

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.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was primarily influenced by low share of income before tax from the Norwegian continental shelf and positive
income in countries with lower tax rates and with unrecognised deferred tax assets. The effective rate for the first half of 2022 was primarily influenced by high share of income before tax from the Norwegian continental shelf and losses including impairments recognised in countries with lower effective tax rates, partially offset by positive income in countries with lower tax rates and with unrecognised deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 and for the first half of 2022 was also influenced by currency effects in entities that are taxable in other currencies than the functional currency.
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.
The line-item Trade and other receivables include a receivable from the Norwegian state under the Marketing Instruction in relation to the state's (SDFI) participation in the gas sales activities of a foreign subsidiary of Equinor, estimated at USD 0.1 billion. At year-end 2022, the corresponding estimated amount of USD 1.5 billion was classified as a non-current item and included in the line-item Prepayments and financial receivables. The decrease is mainly related to reduced gas storage volumes due to gas sales. A corresponding non-current liability of USD 0.1 billion has been recognised, representing SDFI's estimated interest in the gas sales activities in the foreign subsidiary. The estimated total non-current liabilities to SDFI amounts to USD 0.5 billion at 30 June 2023 (USD 2.1 billion at year end 2022).
SECOND QUARTER 2023 REVIEW CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL
On 25 July 2023, the Board of Directors resolved to declare an ordinary cash dividend for the second quarter of 2023 of USD 0.30 per share and an extraordinary cash dividend of USD 0.60 per share. The Equinor shares will be traded ex-dividend 14 November 2023 on the Oslo Børs and for ADR holders on the New York Stock Exchange. Record date will be 15 November 2023 and payment date will be 28 November 2023.
Based on the authorisation from the annual general meeting on 10 May 2023, the Board of directors will on a quarterly basis decide on share buy-back tranches. The 2023 programme is up to USD 6,000 million,
including shares to be redeemed from the Norwegian State.
In February 2023, Equinor launched the first tranche of USD 1,000 million of which USD 330 million was acquired in the open market in the first quarter 2023.
In May 2023, Equinor launched the second tranche of USD 1,667 million. USD 550 million has been recognised as a reduction in equity due to an irrevocable agreement with a third-party, of which USD 440 million has been acquired in the open market and settled at 30 June 2023.
In order to maintain the Norwegian States ownership share in Equinor, a proportionate share of the second, third and fourth tranche of the 2022 programme as well as the first tranche of the 2023 programme was redeemed and annulled after approval by the annual general meeting on 10 May 2023. The liability to the Norwegian State of USD 3,705 million (NOK 39,071 million) was settled in June 2023.
On 25 July 2023 the Board of Directors decided to initiate a third share buy-back tranche of USD 1.667 billion for 2023 (including the State's share, excluding transaction costs), starting 27 July 2023 and with an end-date no later than 26 October 2023.

Non-GAAP financial measures are defined as numerical measures that either exclude or include amounts or certain accounting items that are not excluded or included in the comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (i.e., IFRS).
Management considers adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings after tax together with other non-GAAP financial measures as defined below, to provide a better indication of the underlying operational and financial performance in the period (excluding financing), and therefore better facilitate comparisons between periods.
The following financial measures may be considered non-GAAP financial measures:
• Adjusted earnings are based on net operating income/(loss) and adjusts for certain items affecting the income for the period in order to separate out effects that management considers may not be well correlated to Equinor's underlying operational performance in the individual reporting period. Management considers adjusted earnings to be a supplemental measure to Equinor's IFRS measures, which provides an indication of Equinor's underlying operational performance in the period and facilitates an alternative understanding of operational trends between the periods. Adjusted earnings include adjusted revenues and other
income, adjusted purchases, adjusted operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted depreciation expenses and adjusted exploration expenses.
• Adjusted earnings after tax – equals the sum of net operating income/(loss) less income tax in business areas and adjustments to operating income taking the applicable marginal tax into consideration. Adjusted earnings after tax excludes net financial items and the associated tax effects on net financial items. It is based on adjusted earnings less the tax effects on all elements included in adjusted earnings (or calculated tax on operating income and on each of the adjusting items using an estimated marginal tax rate). In addition, tax effect related to tax exposure items not related to the individual reporting period is excluded from adjusted earnings after tax. Management considers adjusted earnings after tax, which reflects a normalised tax charge associated with its operational performance excluding the impact of financing, to be a supplemental measure to Equinor's net income. 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 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 earnings after tax should not be considered indicative of the amount of current or total tax expense (or taxes payable) for the period.
Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings after tax should be considered additional measures rather than substitutes for net operating income/(loss) and net income/(loss), which are the most directly comparable IFRS measures. There are material limitations associated with the use of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings after tax compared with the IFRS measures as such non-GAAP measures do not include all the items of revenues/gains or expenses/losses of Equinor that are needed to evaluate its profitability on an overall basis. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings after tax are only intended to be indicative of the underlying developments in trends of our ongoing operations for the production, manufacturing and marketing of our products and exclude pre-and post-tax impacts of net financial items. Equinor reflects such underlying development in our operations by eliminating the effects of certain items that may not be directly associated with the period's operations or financing. However, for that reason, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings after tax are not complete measures of profitability. These measures should therefore not be used in isolation.

Equinor has made the following changes to the items adjusted for within Adjusted earnings:
These changes have been applied retrospectively to the comparative figures. The majority of the impact is due to the revised treatment of commodity derivatives. These changes only affect the MMP reporting segment and currently do not have an impact on other segments. Equinor deems that these changes lead to a better representation of performance in each period by appropriately reflecting the economic impact of its risk management activities.

CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL 35 CONTENTS STATEMENTS AND NOTES SUPPLEMENTARY
– Following implementation of IFRS 16 Equinor presents a "net debt to capital employed adjusted" excluding lease liabilities from the gross interestbearing debt. Comparable numbers are presented in the table Calculation of capital employed and net debt to capital employed ratio in the report include Finance lease according to IAS17, adjusted for marketing instruction agreement. In Equinor's view, net debt ratio provides useful information about Equinor's capital structure and financial strength.
• Organic capital expenditures (organic investments/capex) – Capital expenditures, defined as Additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted investments in note 2 Segments to the Condensed interim financial statements, amounted to USD 4.3 billion in Q2 2023 (Q2 2022: USD 2.4 billion). Organic capital expenditures are capital expenditures excluding acquisitions, recognised lease assets (RoU assets) and other investments with significant different cash flow pattern. In Q2 2023, a total of USD 2.1 billion (Q2 2022: USD 0.4 billion) is excluded in the organic capital expenditures. Forward-looking organic
capital expenditures included in this report are not reconcilable to its most directly comparable IFRS measure without unreasonable efforts, because the amounts excluded from such IFRS measure to determine organic capital expenditures cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty. Organic capital expenditure is a measure which Equinor believes gives relevant information about Equinor's investments in maintenance and development of the company's assets.
• Net cash flow (previously named free 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. The name of the measure was updated in the first quarter of 2023, but no changes have been made to the definition.
Adjusted earnings adjust for the following items:
These derivative contracts are carried at fair value while the inventories are accounted for at the lower of cost or market price. Therefore, measurement differences occur in relation to the recognition of gains and losses. An adjustment is made to align the valuation principles of inventories with related derivative contracts. With effect from the first quarter of 2023, the adjusted valuation of inventories is based on the forward price at the expected realisation date.

There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including levels of industry product supply, demand and pricing, in particular in light of significant oil price volatility and the uncertainty created by Russia's invasion of Ukraine; unfavourable macroeconomic conditions and inflationary pressures; exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations; levels and calculations of reserves and material differences from reserves estimates; regulatory stability and access to resources, including attractive low carbon opportunities; the effects of climate change and changes in stakeholder sentiment and regulatory requirements regarding climate change; changes in market demand and supply

Equinor's 2022 Integrated Annual Report is available at Equinor's website www.equinor.com.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our future results, level
of activity, performance or achievements will meet these expectations. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update any of these statements after the date of this report, either to make them conform to actual results or changes in our expectations.

Some interest-bearing elements are classified together with non-interest bearing elements and are therefore included when calculating the net interest-bearing debt.
