NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2: - Accounting policies and basis of preparation

The interim financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The results for the interim period are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the period ended 30 June 2024. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures that are required for the annual financial statements and must be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars except where otherwise indicated.

The financial information presented herein has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies expected to be used in preparing the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are the same as those used in preparing the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these interim financial statements. The Going Concern assessment covers the period up to 31 December 2025 'the forecast period'.

Israel geopolitical environment – Looking to the second half of 2024, Energean highlights the following developments as important in relation to its principal risks. Since October 7, 2023, and the ongoing conflict in Israel, the magnitude of regional geopolitical risk remains elevated. Growing concerns of escalations in the Middle East have intensified the security risk in the region, as essential infrastructure systems (such as the Energean Power FPSO offshore Israel) may be targets for missile fire and sabotage operations. While the Karish field has continued to produce in line with guidance and with no disruption to its production since the start of the conflict, any event that impacts production from this field could have a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and prospects of the Group. In the first half of 2024, Energean has ensured that all measures are in place to continue business operations, maintain the mobility of our people and make certain that the security of information is unaffected.

New and amended accounting standards and interpretations:

The following amendments became effective as at 1 January 2024:

  1. Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants;

The adoption of the above amendments to EU-adopted IAS did not result in any material changes to the Group's accounting policies and did not have any material impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

NOTE 6: - Taxation

    1. Corporate Tax rates applicable to the Company:
    2. Israel:

The Israeli corporate tax rate is 23% in 2024 and 2023.

UK:

With effect from 1st January 2024, the Company has migrated its tax residency from the Republic of Cyprus ("Cyprus") to the United Kingdom ("UK") through the transfer of its management and control to the UK. As of the same date, the Company came into the charge to UK corporation tax for the first time.

Under s.18A CTA 2009 the Company made an election for all current and future overseas branches (including its Israeli branch) to be exempt from UK corporation tax from its first accounting period commencing on 1 January 2024 and all subsequent accounting periods.

  1. The Income and Natural Resources Taxation Law, 5771-2011 – Israel- the main provisions of the law are as follows:

In April 2011, the Knesset passed the Income and Natural Resources Tax Law, 5771-2011 ("the Law"), which imposed an oil and gas profits levy at a rate set out below. The rate of the levy is calculated according to a proposed R factor mechanism, according to the ratio between the net accrued revenues from the project and the cumulative investments as defined in the Law. A minimum levy of 20% is levied at the stage where the R factor ratio reaches 1.5, and when the ratio increases, the levy will increase gradually until the maximum rate of 50% until the ratio reaches 2.3. In addition, it was determined that the rate of the levy as stated will be reduced starting in 2017 by multiplying 0.64 by the difference between the corporate tax rate prescribed in section 126 of the Income Tax Ordinance for each tax year and the tax rate of 18%. In accordance with the corporate tax rate from 2018 onwards, the maximum rate will be 46.8%.

In addition, additional provisions were prescribed regarding the levy, inter alia, the levy is recognised as an expense for the purpose of calculating income tax; the limits of the levy shall not include export facilities; the levy will be calculated and imposed for each reservoir separately (Ring Fencing); payment by the owner of an oil right calculated as a percentage

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 6: - Taxation (Cont.)

of the oil produced, the recipient of the payment will be liable to pay a levy according to the amount of the payment

received, and this amount will be subtracted from the amount of the levy owed by the holder of the oil right. The Law also sets rules for the unification or separation or consolidation of oil projects for the purposes of the Law. In accordance with the provisions of the Law, the Group is not yet required to pay any payment in respect of the said levy, and therefore no liability has been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this payment.

(1) Trade payables and accrued expenses relate primarily to operations, development expenditure on the Karish project, with the main contributors being the FPSO, Karish North, the second oil train and Katlan pre-FID works.

  • (2) In December 2016, Energean Israel acquired the Karish and Tanin offshore gas fields for \$40.0 million at closing with an obligation to pay an additional consideration of \$108.5 million, plus interest inflated at an annual rate of 4.6%, in ten equal annual payments. A settlement agreement was signed in November 2023, whereby it was agreed that the final amount owed would be paid in two instalments which took place in H1 2024. As of 30 June 2024, the full amount of the consideration has been paid.
  • (3) The amount represents a long-term amount payable in terms of the EPCIC contract. Following the amendment to the terms of the deferred payment agreement with Technip signed in February 2024, the remaining amount payable under the EPCIC contract has been reduced to \$210 million. The amount is payable in twelve equal quarterly deferred payments starting in March 2024 and therefore has been discounted at 8.668% per annum (being the yield rate of the senior secured loan notes, maturing in 2026, at the date of agreeing the payment terms). As of 30 June 2024, two installments have been paid.

NOTE 13: - Trade and other payables (Cont.)

(4) The amount mainly comprises of royalties payables to the Israel government and third parties with regards to the Karish Lease, including \$15.1 million (2023: \$12.1 million) of royalties payable to third parties. Contractual royalties are payable to NewMed (previously Delek Drilling) and third-party holders at a total rate of 7.5%, increasing to 8.25% after the date at which the lease in question starts to pay the oil and gas profits levy. The royalty payable to NewMed under the SPA is calculated on the value of the total amount of natural gas and condensate produced at the wellhead without any deduction (except for natural gas and Petroleum (as defined under the Petroleum Law) used in the production process). No contractual royalties under the SPA will be payable on future discoveries that were not part of the original acquisition of the Karish and Tanin leases.

NOTE 14: - Equity

Interim dividend

An interim dividend of US\$150.5 million was declared and paid during the 2024 reporting period.

The fair value of the Senior Secured Notes is within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and has been estimated by discounting future cash flows by the relevant market yield curve at the balance sheet date. The fair values of other financial instruments not measured at fair value including cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables and trade and other payables equate approximately to their carrying amounts.

Cash Flow Hedging

In February 2024, the Group entered into a forward transaction to hedge against foreign currency volatility risk associated with its deferred payment to Technip. The hedge relationship was deemed effective at inception, and in accordance with the Group's accounting policy, the transaction was subject to cash flow hedge accounting. Consequently, as of 30 June 2024, the Group recorded a derivative liability of \$0.4 million, an other comprehensive loss of \$0.3 million, and \$0.07 million in finance income related to this transaction during the reporting period.

NOTE 16: - Significant events and transaction during the reporting period

  • a) In February 2024, Karish North first gas was achieved and the second gas export riser was completed.
  • b) New Gas Sales Purchase Agreements ("GSPAs") in the period:
    • 1) In February 2024, the Company signed a new GSPA with Eshkol Energies Generation LTD, majority owned Dalia Energy Companies Ltd, for the supply of an initial quantity of 0.6 bcm/year starting June 2024, rising to 1 bcm/ year from 2032 onwards. The GSPA is for a term of approximately 15 years, for a total contract quantity of up to approximately 12 bcm. The contract contains provisions regarding floor and ceiling pricing, take or pay and price indexation (not Brent-price linked). The GSPA has been signed at levels that are in line with the other large, long-term contracts within Energean's portfolio.
    • 2) Energean has also signed two contracts with two peaker stations for the supply of 0.1 bcm/yr each, commencing in October 2024 and May 2025 respectively, representing around \$400 million in revenues over the life of the contracts.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 17: - Subsequent events

a) An interim dividend of US\$126 million was declared and paid in Q3 2024.

b) Katlan Final Investment Decision

In July 2024, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure granted the Company a 30-year concession for the Katlan area including a 20-year extension option. Following this, Energean announced in July 2024 that it has taken Final Investment Decision ("FID") for the Katlan development project in Israel. The Katlan area will be developed in a phased approach through a subsea tieback to the existing Energean Power FPSO. First gas is planned for H1 2027. The EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation) contract for the subsea scope was awarded to TechnipFMC and includes four-well-slot tieback capacity to a single large ~30 kilometer production line, which can be used by future Katlan area phases.
