Words from the CEO

"I am excited to report on the third quarter 2022, which has been a fantastic first quarter for us as a pure play renewables company where we have both grown into one of the largest independent renewables companies on Nasdaq Stockholm and delivered strong financial results and cash flow generation.

We made our first transformational deal during the quarter by acquiring the Swedish wind company Slitevind, which added a diversified portfolio of operational wind assets in the Nordics with long-term cash flow and opportunities for re-powering and growth through new projects. It also added a team with greenfield and brownfield experience, operational expertise and the ability to further pursue organic growth opportunities. I am confident that we will be able to realise further value from this portfolio moving forward, and that this will serve as a platform for organic growth for many years to come. We continued delivering on our acquisition led strategy with five additional value accretive transactions, all of which will complete in the fourth quarter of 2022. These six transactions, combined, will add more than 500 GWh of estimated annual power generation to our asset base, further strengthening the cash generation potential of the Company. We acquired these portfolios and assets for an average of MUSD 0.9 per MW installed capacity, which is an attractive price compared to the value of new wind projects today, and we see significant opportunities for follow on transactions within this space.

Electricity prices reached record high levels during the quarter, driven by geopolitical tensions and increased energy demand in Europe, which highlights the need for locally produced, clean energy. As a renewable company we contribute to increasing the share of renewable energy in the Nordics, and our strategy of being fully spot market exposed allows our investors to gain exposure to European power prices. The demand for renewables is set to grow significantly over the coming years, and I believe power prices will continue to remain strong during the coming years.

We delivered strong financial results for the quarter, with proportionate revenues of MUSD 15.5 and proportionate EBITDA of MUSD 10.8. The Company achieved cash flow from operating activities of MUSD 5.4, finished the third quarter with net cash of MUSD 10.8 and has entered into a MEUR 100 credit facility to fund future capital commitments and growth. With the debt capacity of the asset base, there is significant additional financial capacity to fund material transactions in the future.

Power generation was slightly below expectations during the third quarter due to lower than normal wind speeds and low precipitation across the Nordics. Given the nature of our business, and the reliance on nature, we expect to see these fluctuations balance out between the quarters.

Development of the Karskruv wind farm in southern Sweden is progressing on schedule with preparation work ongoing to allow for installation of the wind turbines and the grid connection in the spring and summer of 2023, and the project remains on track for completion at the end of 2023. Karskruv is expected to add an additional 290 GWh to the Company's estimated annual power generation, which is set to reach over 1.1 TWh from 2024 onwards.

We entered the third quarter in a strong position, and we are exiting it even stronger. With robust financial results, a large portfolio of producing assets and an experienced team we are in a unique position to continue to grow the business and create long-term shareholder value. I want to thank all our shareholders for your loyal support over the last two decades with Lundin Energy and for joining us on our exciting journey towards creating a profitable renewables company of scale."

Daniel Fitzgerald CEO

2022 guidance

With the addition of Slitevind at the end of August 2022 and including the additional five transactions which will complete in the fourth quarter 2022 post the reporting period end, the Company will have increased its estimated annual power generation by over 500 GWh since inception. The Company's estimated annual power generation is currently 700 GWh including the Slitevind acquisition, increasing to 800 GWh with the inclusion of the additional 5 transactions which will close in the fourth quarter 2022 and will reach 1.1 TWh from 2024 onwards when the Karskruv project is online. All power generation estimates are based on average meteorological conditions and will vary from period to period given the variability of weather across the Nordics.

The 2022 guidance for general and administrative costs ("G&A") and capital expenditure remain unchanged at MUSD 7 and MUSD 10 respectively. The G&A cost guidance includes the ongoing G&A costs of Slitevind. Operating expense guidance for the second half of 2022 has been increased to reflect the addition of Slitevind and costs directly linked to higher electricity prices.

Operational assets

Orrön Energy's proportionate power generation amounted to 166 GWh for the reporting period, which includes nine months of production from the Leikanger hydropower plant in Norway, six months of production from the Metsälamminkangas ("MLK") wind farm in Finland and one month of production from the wind portfolio that was acquired from Slitevind.

The proportionate power generation amounted to 83 GWh for the third quarter which was slightly below expectation, and more than compensated by higher realised prices. The third quarter had lower-than-normal wind speeds and low precipitation across the Nordics, impacting the achieved production.

Realised power prices amounted to EUR 177 per MWh for the third quarter, which is an increase compared to EUR 127 per MWh for the second quarter and includes EUR 6 per MWh negative impact from historical hedges acquired as part of the Slitevind transaction, none of which continue beyond the second quarter 2023. Orrön Energy's strategy is to be fully merchant exposed to spot power prices. The Nordic system price averaged EUR 176 per MWh during the third quarter, and the weighted average regional electricity price corresponding to the Company's actual production during the quarter was EUR 220 per MWh. The variance to the Company's realised power price is explained by capture price discounts.

Proportionate operating expenses amounted to MUSD 2.1 for the third quarter which is in line with the updated guidance. The cost guidance has been increased to reflect the addition of Slitevind and other operating expenses which are directly linked to, and more than offset by higher realised electricity prices.

The Company has a diversified portfolio of operational wind power assets across Sweden, which was acquired at the end of August 2022 as part of the Slitevind acquisition. The acquired portfolio had an estimated annual power generation of around 435 GWh, and total installed capacity of 155 MW. The majority of the assets are fully owned and operated by the Company, with proportionate ownership in some assets together with partners. A large portion of the assets are situated in the high priced regions of SE3 and SE4.

Orrön Energy and Sval Energi AS hold a 50 percent interest, respectively, in the MLK wind farm which has been operational since end March 2022. MLK has estimated gross annual power generation of around 400 GWh per annum, which is generated from 24 turbines with a total installed capacity of 132 MW. The wind farm is equipped with the latest technology to ensure low cost and efficient operations. MLK is managed by the developer of the wind farm, OX2 AB ("OX2"), under an availability warranty provided by GE Renewable Energy, guaranteeing the availability of the turbines through their operational life of approximately 30 years, giving the Company significant protection against downtime and outages. MLK is situated in the price region FI.

Orrön Energy and Sognekraft AS each hold a 50 percent interest in the Leikanger hydropower plant in Norway. Leikanger has estimated gross annual power generation of around 200 GWh per annum, which is generated from a single turbine with a total capacity of 77 MW, and has an estimated operational life span of around 60 years. As the asset is a river run off based hydropower plant, the power generation is variable depending on the rate of snow melting during the spring and summer months, and increasing precipitation in the autumn season. Leikanger is situated in the price region NO5.

Karskruv wind farm 100% SE4 290 GWh Q4 2023 On schedule and budget

Construction activities at the Karskruv wind farm project in southern Sweden are progressing on schedule, with foundation casting completed and work ongoing to prepare for installation of turbines and grid connection, which is planned for the second and third quarters of 2023. Orrön Energy holds a 100 percent interest in the wind farm, which will add 290 GWh to the Company's estimated annual power generation once operational at the end of 2023. Karskruv has been purchased from OX2, who is managing the construction and commissioning phase alongside Vestas Wind Systems A/S as the turbine supplier and contractor. The project is being constructed with an availability warranty in place, guaranteeing the availability of the turbines through their operational life of approximately 30 years, giving the Company significant protection against downtime and outages.

With the wind farm situated in the SE4 price region, it constitutes an important contribution to the Company's growth plans. The project is expected to be cash flow positive from late 2023.

Transactions

Orrön Energy's strategy is to invest in renewable energy projects in the Nordics and pursue value accretive opportunities in the energy transition to both grow and complement its portfolio. Since inception in July 2022, the Company has added significant power generation capacity in the Nordics by acquiring assets and portfolios at attractive prices.

In August 2022, the Company announced and completed a public offer to tender all shares in the Swedish wind power company Slitevind for SEK 125 in cash per share. The transaction added a portfolio of wind assets in Sweden and Finland, with estimated annual power generation of 435 GWh and 155 MW installed capacity, together with an experienced team with a longstanding background in the energy sector. A final acceptance level of 96.5 percent was achieved in the beginning of September 2022 and Orrön Energy has initiated a compulsory buy-out procedure in order to acquire the remaining shares. The total enterprise value amounted to MUSD 134.1

Transactions after the reporting period

In October 2022, the Company completed acquisitions of an additional 27 percent interest in the 36 MW wind farm Näsudden Väst, and an additional 10 percent interest in the 27 MW wind farm Stugyl. The total enterprise value for both transactions combined amounted to MUSD 9 and adds estimated annual power generation of 30 GWh and 12 MW installed capacity in price area SE3.

In November 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of one additional percent of ownership in the wind farm Näsudden, which takes the Company's interest to 68 percent. The total enterprise value amounted to MUSD 0.3 and adds estimated annual power generation of 0.8 GWh in price area SE3, and 0.3 MW installed capacity.

In November 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the wind farm Lilla Årås. The total enterprise value amounted to MUSD 5.5 and adds estimated annual power generation of 18 GWh and 6 MW installed capacity in price area SE3. The transaction is expected to complete in December 2022.

In November 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Siral Förvaltning AB, which adds estimated annual power generation of 44 GWh and 15 MW installed capacity, out of which 90 percent is situated in price areas SE3 and SE4. The total enterprise value amounts to MUSD 13.5 and the transaction is expected to complete in December 2022.

Sustainability

Orrön Energy aims to make a significant contribution to mitigating climate change by increasing the share of renewable energy in the power mix. The Company owns and operates renewable generation assets in a safe and responsible manner, with a long-term outlook for its partners and stakeholders. The demand for clean energy is set to increase, and Orrön Energy is committed to continue investing in renewable power generation and technologies to drive the energy transition, for a clean and sustainable energy future.

All of the Company's assets qualify as environmentally sustainable under the EU Green Taxonomy, which means that all the revenue, capital expenditure and operating expenditure is taxonomy-aligned. Orrön Energy's approach to sustainability is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 7 on affordable and clean energy, and Goal 13 on climate action, which underpins the way the Company conducts its business. This ensures that the business delivers lasting value for its shareholders, stakeholders and wider society. The Company also actively supports the UN Global Compact's 10 Principles on human rights, labour standards, environment and anti-corruption.

Orrön Energy is developing biodiversity enhancement projects in targeted areas around its renewables assets, such as targeted projects aiming to increase biodiversity, planting of wildflowers to encourage bee populations to grow, bird protection and wildlife monitoring systems and grazing projects in collaboration with the local farming communities. In addition, the Company views strong community engagement as being essential to the success of the business and is collaborating with several local organisations to support and contribute to the local communities around its operational areas. Environmental aspects and community engagement are key, which are considered throughout the lifetime of the assets.

Health and safety of people and the environment are core priorities for the business and the Company has procedures in place to identify and mitigate risks, including investigation and reporting of any incidents and accidents. During the reporting period, there were no recordable safety incidents or material environmental incidents.

Discontinued operations

Discontinued operations represent the Company's legacy E&P business that was transferred to Aker BP on 30 June 2022, as part of a combination to create the leading European E&P Company. The information provided in this section is the same as the Company reported in the interim report covering the first six months of the year, after which the discontinued operations no longer formed a part of the Company.

Production

Production amounted to 176 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day (Mboepd) for the six month period ended 30 June 2022, at the top end of the guidance range, mainly driven by excellent performance and phasing of the planned maintenance work on Johan Sverdrup, and partially offset by an unplanned outage on the Edvard Grieg field, which was restarted at the end of April 2022.

Operating costs, net of tariff income, amounted to USD 4.20 per boe for the six month period ended 30 June 2022.

There have been no changes to these numbers during the third quarter and therefore all numbers in the tables below are identical to those reported in the second quarter:

2 Consisting of Edvard Grieg, Solveig and Rolvsnes EWT

Johan Sverdrup Phase 1 delivered around nine percent ahead of guidance for the six month period ended 30 June 2022, driven by high production efficiency and positively affected by re-phasing of planned maintenance activities from Q2 2022 into Q3 2022. Operating costs were USD 2.48 per boe and the carbon emission intensity remained low at less than 0.1 kg CO2 per boe.

Edvard Grieg delivered at the bottom of guidance due to an unplanned shutdown at the end of March 2022 as a result of a power outage causing damage to electrical systems in the gas export system. The unplanned shutdown lasted approximately one month and production was restarted early in the second quarter. The third 4D seismic campaign was completed during the second quarter with results in line with expectations. Operating costs were USD 6.15 per boe for the six month period ended 30 June 2022.

The Solveig field and Rolvsnes Extended Well Test (EWT) were shut-in for most of the second quarter to optimise production from the Edvard Grieg facilities.

Production from the Alvheim Area was ahead of guidance with 98 percent production efficiency. Operating costs were USD 7.51 per boe for the six month period ended 30 June 2022.

Financial Review

Changes in the Group

Orrön Energy Holding AB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orrön Energy AB has, during the reporting period, completed a public offer to acquire all shares in Slitevind AB (publ) for SEK 125 in cash per share. The offer was accepted by shareholders owning 96.5 percent of all shares and votes in Slitevind. A compulsory buy-out procedure, in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act, has been initiated in order to acquire the remaining shares. This financial report includes the financial results from Slitevind as from 1 September 2022.

The combination of the Company's legacy E&P business with Aker BP (the "Transaction") was completed as planned on 30 June 2022. Through this Transaction, the shareholders of the Company received cash totalling USD 2.2 billion and 271,908,589 shares in Aker BP, and retained their shareholding in Orrön Energy. The combination was carried out as a statutory crossborder merger in accordance with Norwegian and Swedish law, through which Aker BP absorbed Lundin Energy MergerCo AB (publ), which at the time of the completion contained the Company's E&P business. Shortly before the merger and completion of the Transaction, the shares in Lundin Energy MergerCo (publ) were distributed to the Company's shareholders as a so-called lex asea dividend.

The E&P business is reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated income statement.

Continuing operations

In addition to the consolidated financial reporting in line with IFRS, the Group provides proportionate financial reporting, which forms part of the alternative performance measures the Group presents. Proportionate financials represent Orrön Energy's proportionate share of those entities, in which the Group holds an ownership of not more than 50 percent. In the consolidated financial reporting, the results from these assets are not fully consolidated but instead reported on one line, as share of result in joint ventures in line with IFRS. Proportionate financials also represent Orrön Energy's proportionate share of those entities, which are fully consolidated but in which the Group holds an ownership of less than 100 percent but more than 50 percent. Proportionate reporting is aligned with the Group's internal management reporting, analysis and decision making.

Revenue and results

Proportionate financials

Proportionate revenues amounted to MUSD 15.5 for the third quarter. In addition to the revenue from the Leikanger hydropower plant, the Group's revenue for the reporting period includes the MLK windfarm, which has been operational since 31 March 2022 and one month of power generation from the newly acquired Slitevind portfolio. Strong EBITDA generation during the quarter was driven by high realised prices, which was partly offset by lower-than-normal wind speeds and low precipitation across the Nordics, impacting the achieved power generation.

Operating expenses relating to operating assets amounted to MUSD 2.1 for the third quarter 2022. Operating expenses includes the additional operating expenses associated with Slitevind, from 1 September 2022 and other costs, which are directly linked to, and more than offset by higher realised electricity prices.

The Group operates in various countries and fiscal regimes where corporate income tax rates are different from the regulations in Sweden. Corporate income tax rates for the Group vary between 13.7 and 20.6 percent for the majority of the business with the exception of the Leikanger hydropower plant in Norway, which is subject to a tax rate of 59 percent. The Norwegian Government has proposed changes to the hydropower tax regime, consisting of an 8 percent increase in ground rent tax and a 23 percent tax on energy sold for prices exceeding NOK 0.70 per kWh. The ground rent tax will be effective retroactively from 1 January 2022 and the Company has recognised an amount of MUSD 1.6 in the third quarter results, which represents the tax due for the reporting period. Leikanger will contribute less than 10 percent of Orrön Energy'sforecast power generation from end 2023.

Financial Review

Consolidated financials

The revenue from power generation amounted to MUSD 2.6 (MUSD –), including the contribution from Slitevind from 1 September 2022.

G&A expenses amounted to MUSD 12.9 (MUSD 15.7) for the reporting period of which MUSD 5.2 (MUSD 10.6) related to legal and other fees incurred for the defence in connection with the legal proceedings in Sweden in relation to the Company's past operations in Sudan, as part of the legacy E&P business. The Company's G&A cost base has, following the completion of the Transaction, been reduced to align with the downsized organisation, as reflected in the second half 2022 guidance.

Share in result from associates and joint ventures amounted to MUSD 8.7 (MUSD 0.8) and is further detailed in note 2. This represents mainly Orrön Energy's portion of the results in the 50 percent owned joint ventures, the MLK wind farm and the Leikanger hydropower plant. These investments are consolidated through the equity method and are therefore recognised as a single line item in the income statement. The result generated by these assets increased compared to the same period last year, which is the result of the commercial handover of the MLK wind farm, higher power generation from the Leikanger hydropower plant and higher achieved power prices during the reporting period.

Historical price hedge contracts, entered into by Slitevind are in place until the second quarter of 2023. The mark-to-market valuation of these contracts has evolved between the acquisition date and the balance sheet date and a financial gain of MUSD 1.6 (MUSD –) has been recognised through the income statement in the quarter.

Deferred tax amounted to MUSD 29.3 (MUSD –) following the recognition of a deferred tax asset in the second quarter 2022 relating to tax losses carried forward in Sweden.

Cash flow and investments

Cash flow

Net cash flow from consolidated operating activities for the continuing business amounted to MUSD 5.4 (MUSD 27.4) for the quarter.

Changes in working capital as included in the consolidated statement of cash flows amounted to MUSD -61.2 (MUSD +90.6) for the quarter. The change in working capital during the quarter mainly related to payables for discontinued operations.

Investments

The Company's net investments, including investments made through joint ventures, for the reporting period were as follows:

Financial Review

Financing and liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MUSD 62.4 (MUSD 130.0). Current liabilities related to the Transaction amounted to MUSD 18.2.

On 31 August 2022, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility of MEUR 100 with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken ("SEB"), with twelve months maturity.

Interest bearing loans and borrowings amounted to MUSD 51.8 (MUSD –) and consist of MUSD 7.8 drawn from the new MEUR 100 revolving credit facility, in addition to inclusion of Slitevind's interest bearing loans and borrowings of MUSD 44.0.

Significant events after the reporting period

In November 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the wind farm Lilla Årås. The transaction is expected to complete in December 2022.

In November 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Siral Förvaltning AB. The transaction is expected to complete in December 2022.

Parent Company

The business of the Parent Company is to invest in and manage operations within the renewable energy sector as of 1 July 2022. This is a change to the Company's previous business mainly conducted within the oil and gas sector.

The net result for the Parent Company for the reporting period amounted to MSEK -521.6 (MSEK 4,295.9 Gain) and was impacted mainly by the costs in relation to the Transaction and the recognition of a deferred tax asset of MSEK 306.0 in the second quarter.

The deferred tax asset of MSEK 306.0 relates to tax losses carried forward, which are expected to be used against future taxable profits in Sweden. The net result for the same period last year included MSEK 4,467.2 financial income as a result of received dividends from a subsidiary. The net result for the reporting period included general and administrative expenses of MSEK 160.0 (MSEK 181.6), of which MSEK 51.3 related to legal and other fees incurred for the defence in connection with the legal proceedings in Sweden in relation to the Company's past operations in Sudan.

Contingent Liabilities

In November 2021, the Swedish Prosecution Authority brought criminal charges against the Company's former Chairman of the Board Ian H. Lundin and former CEO and Director Alex Schneiter in relation to past operations in Sudan from 1999 to 2003. The charges also include claims against the Company for a corporate fine of SEK 3,000,000 and forfeiture of economic benefits of SEK 1,391,791,000, which according to the Swedish Prosecution Authority represents the value of the gain of SEK 720,098,000 that the Company made on the sale of the business in 2003. Any corporate fine or forfeiture of economic benefits would only be imposed after an adverse conclusion of a trial. The Company refutes that there are any grounds for allegations of wrongdoing by any of its former representatives and sees no circumstance in which a corporate fine or forfeiture could become payable. The Company considers this to be a contingent liability and therefore no provision has been recognised.

As part of the IPC spin-off that was completed on 24 April 2017, the Company has indemnified IPC for certain legal proceedings related to the period before the spin-off concerning Indonesian Land and Building tax assessed for the fiscal years 2012 and 2013. The Company has not recognised any provision in relation hereto as it does not believe the proceedings will lead to any liability for the Company.

A portion of the Company's past operations was held through a Canadian holding structure when acquired back in 2006. The tax filings in Canada since 2006 in relation to both corporate income tax and withholding tax are under review by the Canadian Tax Office. All tax has been paid in relation to these tax filings and no provision has been recognised.

Share Data

Share capital

The Company's issued share capital amounted to SEK 3,478,713 represented by 285,924,614 shares with a quota value of SEK 0.01 each (rounded off). During the second quarter of 2022 the Company sold all its treasury shares amounting to a total of 1,356,436 shares.

Dividends

The AGM held on 31 March 2022 in Stockholm approved a cash dividend distribution for the year 2021 of USD 2.25 per share, to be paid in quarterly instalments of USD 0.5625 per share. These quarterly dividends were conditional upon the Company owning all shares in Lundin Energy MergerCo AB (publ) on the record date of the quarterly cash dividend. The first quarterly dividend was paid on 7 April 2022 and was converted into an amount of SEK 5.30 based on the USD to SEK exchange rate published by Sweden's central bank (Riksbanken) four business days prior to the record date (rounded off to the nearest whole SEK 0.01 per share). The total dividend paid amounted to MUSD 160 or MSEK 1,508. Since the Transaction was completed and the Company no longer owned any shares in Lundin Energy MergerCo AB (publ) after 29 June 2022, the Company will not pay any of the remaining quarterly cash dividends.

The combination with Aker BP was carried out as a statutory cross-border merger in accordance with Norwegian and Swedish law, through which Aker BP absorbed Lundin Energy MergerCo AB (publ) that contained the Company's E&P business. The shares in Lundin Energy MergerCo AB (publ) were distributed to the shareholders of the Company through a so-called lex asea dividend. The merger consideration paid to the (new) shareholders of Lundin Energy MergerCo AB (publ) consisted of a mix of cash and shares in Aker BP. The AGM held on 31 March 2022 approved this so-called lex asea distribution whereby one share in the Company entitled shareholders to one share in Lundin Energy MergerCo AB (publ).

Remuneration

The EGM held on 16 June 2022 resolved to change the Policy on Remuneration of the Company, subject to completion of the Transaction. The current Policy on Remuneration and details of long-term incentive plans ("LTIP") are provided on www.orron.com. The previous Policy is disclosed in the Company's 2021 Annual Report, Remuneration Report and in the materials provided to shareholders in respect of the 2022 AGM and is also available on www.orron.com.

The EGM held on 16 June 2022 resolved to establish a long-term share-related incentive plan for employees ("Employee LTIP 2022") in the form of a share option plan and a total amount of 7,985,000 options were granted. The EGM also resolved to establish a one-off LTIP for members of the Board of Directors ("Board LTIP 2022"), in the form of a share option plan and a total amount of 1,005,000 options were granted under this plan.

In order to secure the delivery of shares to the participants and cover any costs (including taxes and social security charges) at exercise of options under the Employee LTIP 2022, the Company has issued 8,560,000 warrants, which were registered 5 July 2022. The Company has hedged its obligations under the Board LTIP 2022 by entering into an equity swap arrangement with a third party, whereby the third party in its own name shall be entitled to acquire and transfer shares (including to the participants) in accordance with the plan.

Note: USD per boe is calculated by dividing the cost by total production volume for the period.

1 The numbers in this table are excluding tariff income netting. The Company's operating cost for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 of USD 4.39 (USD 3.19) per boe is reduced to USD 4.20 (USD 2.82) when tariff income is netted off. The operating cost for the second quarter of USD 4.87 (USD 3.15) per boe is reduced to USD 4.77 (USD 2.80) when tariff income is netted of.

Cost of operations for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 amounted to MUSD 101.1 (MUSD 75.1) and cost of operations excluding operational projects amounted to MUSD 97.1 (MUSD 71.5). The cost of operations per barrel for the period amounted to USD 3.17 (USD 2.23) including operational projects and USD 3.05 (USD 2.12) excluding operational projects. The higher unit costs compared to the same period last year are mainly caused by higher electricity prices and environmental taxes.

Tariff and transportation expenses for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 amounted to MUSD 38.7 (MUSD 32.4) or USD 1.22 (USD 0.96) per boe. The increase on a per barrel basis compared to the sameperiod last year is caused by some increases in crude oil and gas unit tariffs.

Sales quantities in a period can differ from production quantities as a result of permanent and timing differences. Timing differences can arise due to under/over lift of entitlement, inventory, storage and pipeline balances effects. The change in under/over lift position is valued at production cost including depletion cost, and amounted to MUSD 6.6 (MUSD -7.4) in the six month period ended 30 June 2022 due to the timing of the cargo liftings compared to production. The change in inventory position is also valued at production cost including depletion cost, and amounted to MUSD -0.6 (MUSD 11.8) with the change in inventory position in the comparative period caused by a cargo in transit at the end of 2020 that was sold in early 2021.

Sales quantities and production quantities are detailed in the table below. There have been no changes to these numbers during the third quarter and therefor all numbers in the below table are identical to those reported in the second quarter:

Exploration Costs

Exploration costs expensed in the income statement for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 amounted to MUSD 24.4 (MUSD 200.0) and fully related to the discontinued operations. Exploration and appraisal costs are capitalised as they are incurred. When exploration and appraisal drilling is unsuccessful, the capitalised costs are expensed.

Finance Income

Finance income for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 amounted to MUSD 149.8 (MUSD 0.6) The result on interest rate hedges for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 amounted to a gain of MUSD 148.3 (loss of MUSD 71.9), as a result of the higher LIBOR rate of which MUSD 54.2 was non-cash.

Finance Costs

Finance costs for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 amounted to MUSD 379.3 (MUSD 159.4). The net foreign currency exchange loss for the period amounted to MUSD 320.4 (MUSD 35.4). Foreign exchange movements occurred on the settlement of transactions denominated in foreign currencies and the revaluation of working capital and loan balances to the prevailing exchange rate, at the balance sheet date where those monetary assets and liabilities are held in currencies other than the functional currencies of the Group's reporting entities. The Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations relating to the relationship between US Dollar and other currencies. The Company had entered into derivative financial instruments during the period until closing of the Transaction, to address this exposure for exchange rate fluctuations for capital expenditure amounts and Corporate and Special Petroleum Tax amounts. No derivative financial instruments are outstanding as per end 30 June 2022. For the period, the net realised exchange gain on these settled foreign exchange instruments amounted to MUSD 7.3 (MUSD 8.1).

The US Dollar strengthened eight percent against the Euro during the six month period ended 30 June 2022, resulting in a net foreign currency exchange loss on the US Dollar denominated external loan, which is borrowed by a subsidiary using Euro as functional currency and generating a net foreign currency exchange loss on an intercompany loan balance denominated in US Dollar, which is also borrowed by a subsidiary using Euro as functional currency. In addition, the Norwegian Krone weakened four percent against the Euro during the period, generating a net foreign currency exchange loss on an intercompany loan balance denominated in Norwegian Krone. Following the announcement of the Transaction, part of the outstanding foreign currency exchange instruments were no longer considered effective under hedge effectiveness testing resulting in a non-cash charge to the income statement during the period.

Interest expenses for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 amounted to MUSD 26.4 (MUSD 22.8) and represented the portion of interest charged to the income statement. An additional amount of interest of MUSD 11.4 (MUSD 11.1), associated with the funding of the Norwegian development projects was capitalised during the period. The total interest expenses for the period increased compared to the comparative period as a result of a higher LIBOR rate partly offset by a lower average outstanding debt relative to the comparative period.

The amortisation of the deferred financing fees for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 amounted to MUSD 4.7 (MUSD 15.4) and related to the expensing of the fees incurred in establishing the credit facility and issuing the Senior Notes over the period of usage of the facility and Senior Notes.

The deferred tax charge for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 amounted to MUSD 364.5 (MUSD 109.6) and has arisen mainly on a difference in depletion for tax and accounting purposes.

The financial information relating to the nine month period ended 30 September 2022 has not been subject to review by the auditors of the Company.

Statements in this report relating to any future status or circumstances, including statements regarding future performance, growth and other trend projections are forward-looking statements. These statements may generally, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "intend", "plan", "seek", "will", "would" or similar expressions. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that could occur in the future. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements due to several factors, many of which are outside the Company's control. Any forward- looking statements in this report speak only as of the date on which the statements are made and the Company has no obligation (and undertakes no obligation) to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
