Comment from Alex Schneiter, President and CEO of Lundin Energy:

"Following a volatile and unpredictable first half of 2020, the third quarter was one of financial and operational discipline and delivery, capitalising on our strict cost control and efficient production portfolio, driving free cashflow for the nine months period to MUSD 546 and further deleveraging of the Balance Sheet.

"Although production was curtailed from June 2020 due to the Norwegian Government restrictions, our portfolio of producing assets has the capacity to produce considerably more and we enjoyed strong facilities and reservoir performance across the portfolio during the reporting period. We are pleased to report that in the fourth quarter 2020, our fields have been granted increased production permits by the authorities, meaning we will now target approximately 175 Mboepd for the fourth quarter, raising our full year production guidance to a range of 161 to 163 Mboepd, from the previously guided target of 157 Mboepd.

"The Edvard Grieg field has exceeded expectations ever since it came on stream in 2015 and during the quarter we were able to reiterate its outperformance once again, with a significant reserves increase and a further extension of the plateau production. This really has been a Company making asset and I believe it will continue to surprise on the upside, especially when taking into account the extensive surrounding prospectivity, which will provide further organic growth opportunities well into the future. At Johan Sverdrup, performance has continued on or above expectations and we look forward to the results of the next Phase 1 oil capacity testing, which will occur during the fourth quarter of this year.

"I am also very pleased that we have restarted our 2020 exploration programme with the Polmak well in the Southern Barents Sea in October 2020. Polmak along with three other high impact wells are targeting net unrisked resources of over 350 MMboe and each, if successful, has the potential to add significant value and future growth to the business. To supplement our successful organic growth strategy, I have always maintained that we would look to do opportunistic and value accretive M&A deals and we were pleased to announce in October 2020, the acquisition of a portfolio of assets in the Barents Sea from IPN for USD 1.80 per boe, including the large Wisting discovery. This package further crystalizes our position in the Southern Barents Sea and gives us a great entry into one of the next large oil developments in Norway. Also, the Company continues to be very active in all its other core areas, through maturing its existing licences and evaluating new areas of interest for future growth.

"On the decarbonisation strategy, we continue to progress the electrification of our key producing assets which will see over 95 percent of our production fully electrified by the time the Edvard Grieg platform is powered from shore by the end of 2022. We are also continuing to develop and invest in renewable projects with the aim to offset and replace all our net electricity consumption as well as continuing to invest in innovative solutions to further improve our overall production efficiency. Our ultimate objective is to be one of the first E&P companies to reach carbon neutrality from our operations. I'm pleased to say that we are well on track to achieve just that.

Highlights

"On a personal note, I announced during the period, my intention to stand down as the President and CEO in January 2021 and hand over the reins to Nick Walker, the current COO. Nick is uniquely placed to lead this business into the next phase of growth. Having worked together for a number of years, I know that he shares the same passion and ambitions as I and the rest of the management team, to continue to be one of the most efficient, lowest cost and lowest emissions E&P businesses.

"I am standing down at a very exciting time for the Company; with its clear growth pathway, which is supported by one of the most efficient and lowest cost portfolios in the industry. One of my proudest achievements at Lundin Energy is being part of a business which I believe epitomizes how an E&P business can flourish and create value through the energy transition. The 'triple bottom line' of profitable growth, social progress and environmental benefit define this and when combined with the resilience of the Company to the oil price cycles, Lundin Energy is uniquely placed to continue to deliver significant growth in value and a sustainable material and growing dividend to shareholders in the years to come. In Lundin Energy we firmly believe that profitable economic growth and environmental benefits go hand in hand.

"The other vital factor I would like to highlight is the great team which has been created; this really is the highest quality team one can dream for, there is no better support network for Nick as he takes the helm in January 2021. I would like to thank all of my colleagues, the Board, shareholders and in particular the Lundin family who has supported me at Lundin Energy for the last 20 years. It has been an amazing journey for the Company and myself and I will continue to be a faithful and passionate Lundin Energy shareholder. For now it's Full Steam Ahead!"

Lundin Energy has grown from an oil and gas exploration company into an experienced Nordic energy developer and operator. We continue to explore new ideas, new concepts and new solutions to maintain our position as an industry leader in production efficiency, sustainability and decarbonisation. (Nasdaq Stockholm: LUNE).

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

All the reported numbers and updates in the operational review relate to the nine month period ending 30 September 2020 (reporting period), unless otherwise specified.

Coronavirus Crisis and Low Oil Price Response

The coronavirus crisis, its economic impact and the oil price collapse continues to provide a challenging market backdrop. The main focus of the Company's response has been on reducing the risk of the virus spreading in the operations and safeguarding the well-being of the Company's employees and contractors, whilst at the same time minimising the potential impact on the business. Detailed contingency plans have been established to mitigate the risk, a key element of which is that all personnel visiting the Company's operated production and drilling sites are now tested for the virus before travelling offshore. The Company's offshore activities are continuing with normal manning levels, which means that some activities previously deferred to manage the risk have been brought forward to optimise long-term business outcomes. To date there have been no disruptions to production due to the coronavirus situation.

Lundin Energy has high quality, low cost assets, which are resilient to a low oil price environment. Nevertheless, the Company has taken steps to defer activity and reduce spend, where it does not impact safety, asset integrity or production, in order to further strengthen the near term cash flow and liquidity of the business. Total expenditure reductions and deferrals in 2020 are over MUSD 330 from original guidance, including capital expenditures, operating costs and G&A.

Guidance Update

In May 2020, the Norwegian Government announced the implementation of oil production restriction measures as a response to market over supply, however, the authorities have now increased the fourth quarter 2020 production permits for the Johan Sverdrup, Edvard Grieg and Alvheim fields. Consequently, the Company is increasing estimated fourth quarter 2020 production to approximately 175 Mboepd and raising 2020 full year production guidance to a range of 161 to 163 Mboepd from targeting 157 Mboepd previously. The updated guidance is at the top end of the original guidance range for 2020 of 145 to 165 Mboepd.

2020 guidance Updated Previous
Production 161 to 163 Mboepd Targeting 157 Mboepd
Operating Cost USD 2.80 per boe USD 2.80 per boe
Development expenditure MUSD 650 MUSD 710
Exploration and Appraisal expenditure MUSD 160 MUSD 140
Decommissioning expenditure MUSD 50 MUSD 45
Renewables Investments MUSD 95 MUSD 90

The long term production guidance from 2021 onwards remains between 170 and 180 Mboepd.

Production

First nine months production was 157.6 Mboepd, which was in line with the updated production guidance respecting the reduced production quotas assigned by the Norwegian Government, and was four percent ahead of the mid-point of the original guidance. Strong facilities and reservoir performance at Johan Sverdrup, Edvard Grieg and the Alvheim Area continued during the reporting period.

Operating cost, including netting off tariff income, was USD 2.79 per boe, which is in line with the updated guidance. Full year operating cost guidance remains USD 2.80 per boe.

1 Lundin Energy's working interest (WI)

Production from Johan Sverdrup Phase 1 was in line with forecast, reflecting the production restriction measures imposed by the Norwegian Government from June 2020. Four production wells and one water injection well were completed, with results from all five wells in line with or above expectations, and two further development wells are planned to be drilled in 2020. The field is currently producing from 11 wells and reservoir performance continues to be excellent, with total well capacity exceeding the available facilities capacity.

In the first quarter of 2020, it was announced that due to higher established processing capacity, the Phase 1 plateau production rate was increased from 440 thousand barrels of oil per day (Mbopd) gross to 470 Mbopd and as a result full field plateau, when Phase 2 comes on stream, was increased to 690 Mbopd. The increased Phase 1 plateau level of 470 Mbopd was achieved in April 2020, more than two months earlier than scheduled. Now that there is sufficient well capacity, a plan is in place to test the limits of the facility above the current established capacity of 470 Mbopd; this capacity testing is scheduled to occur during the fourth quarter of 2020. Operating costs for the Johan Sverdrup field were USD 1.61 per boe.

Production from the Edvard Grieg field was in line with forecast, reflecting the production restriction measures imposed by the Norwegian Government from June 2020. Reservoir performance continues to exceed expectations, with the water production levels significantly lower than anticipated, which is supported by a 4D seismic survey completed in May 2020 that shows the water injection flood front to be further away from the production wells than predicted, indicating increased oil-in-place in the field. An updated reservoir model has been completed, incorporating these latest results, which supports increased reserves and an extension to the plateau production period. In September 2020, the Company announced a 50 MMboe increase in Edvard Grieg field gross proved plus probable (2P) reserves, lifting the gross 2P ultimate recovery to 350 MMboe. The plateau production period for the Greater Edvard Grieg Area, which also includes the Solveig Phase 1 and Rolvsnes EWT developments, was extended by a further year to late 2023. Due to coronavirus, offshore personnel were down-manned to a minimum level in March 2020, and with the measures taken to limit the risk of infection offshore, a return to normal manning levels commenced in June 2020. In the third quarter 2020, a planned ten-day maintenance shutdown took place, to take advantage of the flexibility offered by the excess production capacity while production was restricted. The planned three well infill well programme at Edvard Grieg is now scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2021, with the Rowan Viking jack-up rig contracted for this programme. The Edvard Grieg electrification project, which involves the retirement of the existing gas turbine power generation system on the platform, installation of electric boilers to provide process heat and installation of a power cable from Johan Sverdrup to Edvard Grieg, is underway and is expected to be operational in late 2022. Operating costs for the Edvard Grieg field, including netting off tariff income, were USD 3.62 per boe.

Production from the Ivar Aasen field was in line with forecast. In August 2020, drilling commenced on the first of two infill wells that are expected to come on stream in the first quarter of 2021.

Production from the Alvheim Area, consisting of the Alvheim, Volund and Bøyla fields, was in line with forecast reflecting the production restriction measures imposed by the Norwegian Government. In September 2020, drilling was completed on the first of two infill wells in the Alvheim field, where the results from the well are in line with expectations and it is expected on stream in the fourth quarter 2020. Drilling of the second infill well has been deferred to 2021. In the third quarter 2020, a planned maintenance shutdown took place to take advantage of excess production capacity due to the aforementioned production restrictions. Operating costs for the Alvheim Area were USD 5.52 per boe, which was impacted by the under-accruals of subsea equipment repair costs from 2019.

1 Johan Sverdrup full field

The development expenditure guidance for 2020 is being reduced to MUSD 650 from MUSD 710 due to further cost savings, favourable foreign exchange rates and deferrals.

Johan Sverdrup Phase 2

The Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 development project involves a second processing platform bridge linked to the Phase 1 field centre, subsea facilities to access the Avaldsnes, Kvitsøy and Geitungen satellite areas of the field, implementation of full field water alternating gas injection (WAG) for enhanced recovery and the drilling of 28 additional wells. For the subsea wells, a letter of intent has been signed for the Deepsea Atlantic semi-submersible rig, which was the same rig used for the Phase 1 pre-drilled wells. The Johan Sverdrup field reserves are in the range 2.2 to 3.2 billion boe and the ambition of the partners in the field, is to achieve a recovery factor of more than 70 percent. Due to higher established processing capacity for Phase 1 of the development, the full field plateau, when Phase 2 comes on stream will be at the increased level of 690 Mbopd. Full field breakeven oil price, including past investments, is estimated at below USD 20 per boe. The PDO for Phase 2 was approved in May 2019.

The Phase 2 capital expenditure is estimated at gross NOK 41 billion (nominal), which is unchanged from the Phase 2 PDO estimate. Construction is ongoing on the second processing platform topsides and jacket, the new modules to be installed on the existing Riser Platform and the subsea facilities. The project experienced reduced progress levels from mid-March 2020 due to the coronavirus situation, but activity has since returned to normal levels and progress is now over 45 percent complete, with scheduled first oil in the fourth quarter of 2022 being maintained. Overall, the Johan Sverdrup Phase 2 project is on schedule and within budget.

Johan Sverdrup is being operated with power supplied from shore and is one of the lowest CO2 emitting offshore field in the world with CO2 emissions of approximately 0.2 kg per boe (below the original forecast of approximately 0.7 kg per boe). The project also includes expansion of the power from shore facilities for Phase 2, which includes additional capacity for the Utsira High Power grid, including for the Edvard Grieg field.

Greater Edvard Grieg Area Tie-Back Projects

Solveig Phase 1 is the first Edvard Grieg subsea tie-back development and will contribute to keeping the Edvard Grieg platform filled to capacity for an extended time period. Phase 1 gross 2P reserves are estimated at 57 MMboe and will be developed with three oil production wells and two water injection wells, achieving gross peak production of 30 Mboepd. The PDO for Solveig Phase 1 was approved in June 2019. The capital cost estimate for the development is within the PDO estimate of MUSD 810 gross, with a breakeven oil price of below 30 USD per boe. The potential for further phases of development, which will capture the upside potential in the discovered resources, will be de-risked by production performance from Phase 1.

The Rolvsnes Extended Well Test (EWT) project, which was approved by the authorities in July 2019, will be conducted through a 3 km subsea tie-back of the existing Rolvsnes horizontal well to the Edvard Grieg platform. The EWT will provide important reservoir data to support a decision on a potential Rolvsnes full field development. The project is being implemented together with the Solveig project to take advantage of contracting and implementation synergies.

Both Edvard Grieg Area tie-back projects progressed as planned to March 2020, when the project activities were re-scheduled to manage the coronavirus risk, resulting in the deferral of first oil for both projects. These project deferrals have no negative impact on the Company's net production in 2021 and 2022, as the Edvard Grieg field has excess well potential to fill the available facilities capacity. Progress on the Edvard Grieg topsides modifications, which are well advanced, was slowed for a period, however as the coronavirus limitations have been eased the activity has been re-mobilised. Installation of the subsea facilities commenced in March 2020 and all production and injection pipelines and the satellite well head structures have now been installed. The start of development drilling operations with the West Bollsta semi-submersible rig, is now scheduled for the first quarter of 2021. Solveig Phase 1 project progress is over 45 percent complete and the Rolvsnes EWT project is approximately 70 percent complete. The Solveig Phase 1 and Rolvsnes EWT deferred first oil is unchanged from the third quarter of 2021.

Appraisal

2020 appraisal well programme

Licence Operator WI Well Spud Date Status
PL894 Wintershall DEA 10% Balderbrå January 2020 Completed February 2020

In February 2020, an appraisal well was completed on the Balderbrå gas discovery in PL894 in the Norwegian Sea. The results were below expectations, leading to a reduction in the resource estimate and a commercial development of the discovery is not considered viable.

In June 2020, the Norwegian Government, to stimulate activity, announced temporary tax incentives that apply to PDO's submitted for approval before the end of 2022. These tax incentives significantly improve project economics and the Company has up to nine potential projects that could be accelerated to benefit from this opportunity. The Company's net resources for these potential projects, inclusive of the acquisition announced in September 2020 of an interest in the Wisting field, totals over 190 MMboe, with the main projects being Solveig Phase 2/Segment D, Rolvsnes Full Field, Iving, Alta, Wisting and the Alvheim Area projects of Kobra East/Gekko and Frosk. The plan is to accelerate appraisal activities and field development studies for all of these potential projects with the aim of maturing them to PDO within the time-line of the tax incentives.

1 Lundin Energy's working interest in Licence PL609 will increase to 55% on closing of the Idemitsu Petroleum Norge transaction and consequently the Company's working interest in the Polmak exploration well will increase to 47.5%

The scaled back 2020 exploration drilling programme involves six wells, of which two have been completed. Discoveries at the Evra/Iving prospects have been made so far in 2020 and the remaining four exploration wells will be drilled in the fourth quarter targeting net unrisked resources of over 350 MMboe. With the results of the Merckx exploration well now anticipated in early 2021. Three of the remaining wells are operated by Lundin Energy and will be drilled by the West Bollsta semi-submersible rig. The exploration and appraisal expenditure guidance for 2020 is being increased to MUSD 160 from MUSD 140 due to activity changes.

In March 2020, the dual target Evra/Iving prospect in PL820S, located in the Norwegian North Sea close to the Balder and Ringhorne fields, was drilled yielding two discoveries. At Iving, an oil and gas discovery was made with gross resources estimated to be between 12 to 71 MMboe. The well was production tested in the Skagerrak formation and flowed at a maximum rate of around 3,000 barrels per day of light 40 degree API oil, constrained by surface equipment. At Evra, the well encountered gas and oil in Eocene/Paleocene age injectite reservoir sands, with further appraisal required to determine the resource potential. The discoveries will be evaluated for further appraisal drilling with the aim of developing the discovery as a tie-back to existing nearby infrastructure. Follow-up prospectivity exists in the licence and will be evaluated in light of this discovery.

In October 2020, drilling commenced on the Polmak prospect in PL609/PL1027 located north of the Alta discovery on the Loppa High in the Southern Barents Sea. The main reservoir target at Polmak are Triassic age Kobbe sandstones, with estimated gross unrisked prospective resources of 400 MMbo.

Decarbonisation Strategy and Renewable Energy Projects

In January 2020, Lundin Energy announced its Decarbonisation Strategy with the target to become carbon neutral across its operations by 2030. Lundin Energy's net carbon intensity for all assets was 2.7 kg CO2 per boe for the reporting period, which is approximately 50 percent lower than the 2019 average. This reduction is largely due to Johan Sverdrup coming on stream, which had a carbon intensity during the reporting period of approximately 0.2 kg CO2 per boe, and a strong focus within the business of minimising emissions. The full year forecast for net carbon intensity is similar to the first nine months performance, which is well within the Company's 2020 target of less than 4 kg CO2 per boe. Lundin Energy's carbon emissions performance is set to improve further with the Edvard Grieg platform being fully electrified in late 2022, when the average net carbon intensity for all the Company's producing assets is expected to be below 2 kg CO2 per boe, approximately one-tenth of the industry average.

A key driver of the Decarbonisation Strategy is the electrification of the Company's main producing assets and the investment in renewable energy projects to replace the Company's net electricity consumption. With electrification of the Utsira High Area, including the Edvard Grieg and Johan Sverdrup fields by 2023, over 95 percent of the Company's production will be powered from shore, consuming around 500 GWh per annum. To partially replace this electricity usage, two investments have been made in the Leikanger hydropower project in Norway and the Metsälamminkangas (MLK) wind farm project in Finland. When fully operational these projects will together generate around 300 GWh per annum net, which is approximately 60 percent of the Company's net electricity usage from 2023. It is Lundin Energy's strategy to fully replace all net electricity usage for power from shore by 2023 with further direct investments in renewable energy electricity generation.

In 2019, Lundin Energy signed an agreement with Sognekraft AS to acquire a 50 percent non-operated interest in the Leikanger river run off hydropower project, with the transaction closing in June 2020. Leikanger will produce around 208 GWh per annum gross, initial power generation commenced on schedule in June 2020, with performance ahead of expectations, and the project will become fully operational in mid-2021. Net electricity generation from Leikanger during the reporting period was approximately one third of the Company's net electricity usage at Johan Sverdrup over the same period.

In January 2020, Lundin Energy completed a transaction with OX2 AB (OX2) to acquire a 100 percent interest in the MLK onshore wind farm project, which will produce around 400 GWh per annum gross once it is operational in early 2022. The MLK operations will be managed by OX2. In March 2020, Lundin Energy completed a farm-down of 50 percent of the MLK project to Sval Energi AS, a portfolio company of HitecVision, on equivalent terms that the Company acquired the project from OX2. Construction of the wind farm started in April 2020 and is progressing according to plan.

Lundin Energy's total investment commitments in renewable energy projects amounts to approximately MUSD 150 over the period 2020/2021. The renewable expenditure guidance for 2020 is being increased to MUSD 95 from MUSD 90.

Decommissioning

The decommissioning plan for the Brynhild field was approved by the UK authorities in June 2020 and by the Norwegian authorities in September 2020. In October 2020, the Rowan Viking jack-up rig completed operations to abandon the four Brynhild sub-sea wells. The contract for the removal of the subsea facilities has been awarded to DeepOcean, with operations planned in the third quarter of 2021.

The Gaupe field ceased production in 2018 and preparation of the decommissioning plan for the field is ongoing.

The decommissioning expenditure guidance for 2020 is being increased to MUSD 50 from MUSD 45. Following completion of Brynhild and Gaupe decommissioning, the Company has no further planned decommissioning spend until around 2035.

Licence Awards and Transactions

In January 2020, the Company was awarded 12 licences in the 2019 APA licensing round, of which seven are as operator.

In March 2020, Lundin Energy entered into a sales and purchase agreement with Capricorn Norge AS involving the acquisition of a 30 percent working interest in PL1057. The transaction increased Lundin Energy's working interest to 60 percent in PL1057 and the Company has become the operator of the licence.

In September 2020, Lundin Energy entered into a sales and purchase agreement with Vår Energi AS, involving the acquisition of a 50 percent working interest in PL229E. The transaction is expected to be completed within the fourth quarter of 2020.

In September 2020, Lundin Energy applied for licences in the 2020 APA licensing round where awards are anticipated in early 2021.

In October 2020, Lundin Energy entered into a sales and purchase agreement with Idemitsu Petroleum Norge AS involving the acquisition of a 10 percent working interest in the major Wisting oil discovery in licences PL537 and PL537B. Wisting is estimated to contain 500 MMbo of gross resources and is scheduled to be one of the next Barents Sea production hubs. Equinor, the operator of Wisting in the development phase, is targeting a PDO by end 2022, to benefit from the temporary tax incentives established by the Norwegian Government in June 2020. The transaction also involves a 15 percent working interest in PL609, PL609B, PL609C, PL609D and PL851, which increases Lundin Energy's working interest from 40 to 55 percent in the Alta discovery and from 40 to 47.5 percent in the Polmak exploration well, both operated by the Company. The transaction, which is effective from January 2020, adds estimated net contingent resources of approximately 70 MMboe for a cash consideration of MUSD 125, and is subject to usual Norwegian regulatory approvals, with completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Currently the Company holds 80 licences in Norway, which is an increase of approximately 20 percent from the beginning of 2019.

Health, Safety and Environment

In May 2020, one person was seriously injured during an incident on a contractor operated vessel, that was working on behalf of the Company on the subsea installation activities for the Edvard Grieg tie-back projects. The incident has been thoroughly investigated and mitigating measures implemented. During the reporting period, one further lost time incident and three medical treatment incidents occurred, resulting in a Lost Time Incident Rate of 1.6 per million hours worked and a Total Recordable Incident Rate of 4.0 per million hours worked. There were no material environmental incidents during the reporting period.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Result

The operating profit for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 932.6 (MUSD 1,588.2), with the decrease compared to the comparative period mainly driven by a MUSD 756.7 after tax accounting gain on the sale of 2.6 percent of Johan Sverdrup during the comparative period. The operating profit for the comparative period excluding this accounting gain amounted to MUSD 831.5 with the increase during the reporting period mainly driven by higher sales volumes and lower exploration costs. Sales volumes almost doubled compared to the comparative period as a result of the startup of production from the Johan Sverdrup field in October 2019, but this was partly offset by lower oil prices and higher depletion charges during the reporting period.

The net result for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 80.5 (MUSD 669.6), representing earnings per share of USD 0.28 (USD 2.05). Net result was impacted by a foreign currency exchange loss during the reporting period of MUSD 85.2 (MUSD 237.7) and a MUSD 756.7 after tax accounting gain in the comparative period on the sale of 2.6 percent of Johan Sverdrup. Adjusted net result for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 193.1 (MUSD 173.8), representing adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.68 (USD 0.53). Adjusted net result separates out the effects of accounting gains/losses from asset sales, loan modification gains, foreign currency exchange results, impairment charges and the tax impacts from these items and better reflects the net result generated by the Company's operational performance for the reporting period.

Earnings before interest, tax, depletion and amortisation (EBITDA) for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 1,431.8 (MUSD 1,222.9) representing EBITDA per share of USD 5.04 (USD 3.75), with the increase compared to the comparative period mainly caused by higher sales volumes because of the startup of production from the Johan Sverdrup field, partly offset by lower oil prices. Cash flow from operating activities (CFFO) for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 1,251.3 (MUSD 985.3), representing CFFO per share of USD 4.40 (USD 3.02) with the increase compared to the comparative period, again impacted by higher sales volumes, partly offset by lower oil prices but further positively impacted by working capital changes during the reporting period. Free cash flow for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 545.7 (MUSD 1,117.9), representing free cash flow per share of USD 1.92 (USD 3.42), with the decrease compared to the comparative period mainly impacted by the cash inflow of MUSD 959.0 from the sale of 2.6 percent of Johan Sverdrup during the comparative period. Free cash flow for the comparative period excluding this cash inflow amounted to MUSD 158.9 with the increase during the reporting period mainly impacted by higher CFFO and lower investing activities during the reporting period.

The above mentioned numbers on a per share basis are, compared to the comparative period, positively impacted by the redemption of approximately 54.5 million shares during the third quarter of 2019.

Norwegian tax changes

On 19th June 2020, certain temporary changes in the Norwegian Petroleum Tax Law were enacted. The temporary changes allow investments incurred in 2020 and 2021 to be fully deducted against the Special Petroleum Tax (SPT) in the year of investment, compared to a six year linear depreciation for the ordinary tax regime. There is a further deduction available against the SPT in the form of an uplift. For the years 2020 and 2021, the uplift has been changed to 24 percent of the investment incurred in the year and is fully deductible in the year the investment is incurred, versus the previous uplift treatment which stipulated that the investment incurred during the year qualified for an uplift of 5.2 percent annually over four years (i.e. 20.8 percent uplift). The temporary changes in the Petroleum Tax Law also apply for Plan of Development and Operations submitted within 2022. These tax rules changes resulted in a reduction on current taxes for the reporting period and an increase in deferred taxes for the reporting period. The changes for the Norwegian Special Petroleum Tax will reduce the Company's current tax charge for the years 2020 and 2021 with the cashflow impact spread over the period 2020 to 2022, due to the phasing of the tax installments in Norway.

Changes in the Group

In January 2020, Lundin Energy completed a transaction with OX2 AB (OX2) to acquire a 100 percent interest in the Metsälamminkangas (MLK) wind farm project, in mid Finland. In March 2020, Lundin Energy completed a transaction with Sval Energi AS (Sval), a portfolio company of HitecVision, to farm down 50 percent of its MLK wind farm project. MLK will produce around 400 GWh per annum gross, once it is fully operational in early 2022, from 24 onshore wind turbines. The MLK operations will be managed by OX2. The investment, including the acquisition cost, is approximately MUSD 200 gross over 2020 and 2021 (MUSD 100 net to Lundin Energy) and the project is anticipated to be free cash flow positive from 2022. The 50 percent interest in MLK is recognised as an investment in a joint venture in the consolidated accounts of the Group.

In June 2020, Lundin Energy completed a transaction with Sognekraft AS to acquire a 50 percent non-operated interest in the Leikanger hydropower project, in mid-west Norway. Leikanger will produce around 208 GWh per annum gross, once it is fully operational in 2021, from a river run off hydropower generation scheme. The investment to Lundin Energy, including the acquisition cost, is approximately MUSD 50 and the project is estimated to be free cash flow positive from 2022. The 50 percent interest in Leikanger is recognised as an investment in a joint venture in the consolidated accounts of the Group.

Revenue and other income

Revenue and other income for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 1,784.7 (MUSD 2,199.0) and was comprised of net sales of oil and gas and other revenue as detailed in Note 1.

Net sales of oil and gas for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 1,759.8 (MUSD 1,418.3). The average price achieved by Lundin Energy for a barrel of oil equivalent from own production, amounted to USD 36.31 (USD 61.14) and is detailed in the following table.

The table above excludes crude oil revenue from third party activities.

Net sales of crude oil from third party activities for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 196.6 (MUSD 84.3) and consisted of crude oil purchased from outside the Group by Lundin Energy Marketing SA and sold to the market. Revenue from sale of oil and gas are recognised when control of the products is transferred to the customer.

Other income for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 24.9 (MUSD 24.0) and mainly included tariff income of MUSD 17.9 (MUSD 19.5), which is due to net income from Ivar Aasen tariffs paid to Edvard Grieg. Other income for the reporting period also included MUSD 0.8 (MUSD –) relating to Dated Brent differential derivatives.

Gain from sale of assets in the comparative period amounted to MUSD 756.7 and related to the sale of 2.6 percent of Johan Sverdrup.

Production costs

Production costs including under/over lift movements and inventory movements for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 139.2 (MUSD 118.6) and are detailed in Note 2. The total production cost per barrel of oil equivalent produced is detailed in the table below:

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. Lundin Energy's operating cost for the reporting period of USD 3.20 (USD 5.21) per barrel is reduced to USD 2.79 (USD 4.31) when tariff income is netted off. The operating cost for the third quarter of USD 3.17 (USD 4.79) per barrel is reduced to USD 2.80 (USD 3.97) when tariff income is netted off.

The total cost of operations for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 101.9 (MUSD 81.9) and the total cost of operations excluding operational projects amounted to MUSD 97.2 (MUSD 74.4). The increase compared to the comparative period related to the start up of production from the Johan Sverdrup field in October 2019, partly offset by a weaker Norwegian Kroner.

The cost of operations per barrel for the reporting period amounted to USD 2.36 (USD 3.79), including operational projects and USD 2.25 (USD 3.44) excluding operational projects. The lower unit costs compared to the comparative period are mainly relating to the start up of the Johan Sverdrup field, which has a lower unit operating cost, in addition to a weaker Norwegian Kroner.

Tariff and transportation expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 36.4 (MUSD 30.7) or USD 0.84 (USD 1.42) per barrel. The decrease on a per barrel basis compared to the comparative period, is driven by the start up of production from the Johan Sverdrup field in October 2019, in addition to a weaker Norwegian Kroner.

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 -3.9 (MUSD 2.6) in the reporting period due to the timing of the cargo liftings compared to production. Sales quantities and production quantities are detailed in the table below:

Change in overlift position 0.5 11.4 -0.7 -2.3 -0.6

Other costs for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 4.4 (MUSD 3.1) and related to the business interruption insurance.

Depletion and decommissioning costs

Depletion and decommissioning costs for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 446.8 (MUSD 301.6) at an average rate of USD 10.35 (USD 13.95) per barrel and are detailed in Note 3. The lower depletion costs for the reporting period compared to the comparative period, is due to the start up of production from the Johan Sverdrup field at a lower depletion rate per barrel. The depletion costs are further positively impacted by a lower depletion rate per barrel in USD terms, as the depletion rate per barrel is calculated in Norwegian Kroner with the Norwegian Kroner having weakened against the USD compared to the comparative period.

Exploration costs

Exploration costs expensed in the income statement for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 47.3 (MUSD 84.7) and are detailed in Note 3. Exploration and appraisal costs are capitalised as they are incurred. When exploration and appraisal drilling is unsuccessful, the capitalised costs are expensed. All capitalised exploration costs are reviewed on a regular basis and are expensed when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying value of an exploration and evaluation asset may exceed its recoverable amount.

Purchase of crude oil from third parties

Purchase of crude oil from third parties for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 193.3 (MUSD 84.3) and related to crude oil purchased from outside the Group.

General, administrative and depreciation expenses

The general administrative and depreciation expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 25.5 (MUSD 21.6), which included a charge of MUSD 3.2 (MUSD 3.4) in relation to the Group's long-term incentive plans (LTIP), see also Remuneration section on page 14. Fixed asset depreciation expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 5.2 (MUSD 5.1).

Finance income

Finance income for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 1.0 (MUSD 23.8) and is detailed in Note 4.

Finance costs

Finance costs for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 258.2 (MUSD 366.6) and are detailed in Note 5.

The net foreign currency exchange loss for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 85.2 (MUSD 237.7). Foreign exchange movements occur 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. Lundin Energy is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations relating to the relationship between US Dollar and other currencies. Lundin Energy has entered into derivative financial instruments to address this exposure for exchange rate fluctuations for capital expenditure amounts and Corporate and Special Petroleum Tax amounts. For the reporting period, the net realised exchange loss on these settled foreign exchange instruments amounted to MUSD 54.9 (MUSD 46.5) and a further non-cash exchange loss of MUSD 2.1 was charged to the income statement for the reporting period due to non-effective hedge treatment of certain of the future foreign exchange contracts.

The US Dollar weakened four percent against the Euro during the reporting period, resulting in a net foreign currency exchange gain on the US Dollar denominated external loan, which is borrowed by a subsidiary using Euro as functional currency. In addition, the Norwegian Krone weakened 13 percent against the Euro in the reporting period, generating a largely non-cash net foreign currency exchange loss on an intercompany loan balance denominated in Norwegian Krone.

Interest expenses for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 77.9 (MUSD 54.7) and represented the portion of interest charged to the income statement. An additional amount of interest of MUSD 18.0 (MUSD 79.3), associated with the funding of the Norwegian development projects was capitalised in the reporting period. The total interest expense for the reporting period decreased compared to the comparative period as a result of a lower LIBOR rate since the second quarter of 2020 and partly offset by higher average debt relative to the comparative period.

The result on interest rate hedge settlements amounted to a loss of MUSD 29.3 (gain of MUSD 22.5), as a result of the lower LIBOR rate.

The amortisation of the deferred financing fees for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 12.3 (MUSD 15.8) and related mainly to the fees incurred in establishing the reserve-based lending facility. The fees in relation to the reserve-based lending facility are being expensed over the expected life of that facility.

Loan facility commitment fees for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 8.7 (MUSD 8.9) and related mainly to the higher outstanding loan under the reserve-based lending facility following the share redemption in August 2019, which resulted in lower commitment fees under the reserve-based lending facility. The loan facility commitments fees also include commitment fees in relation to the revolving credit facility for the financing of the renewable power projects and the MUSD 340 unsecured corporate facility.

The unwinding of the loan modification gain for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 29.1 (MUSD 31.4) and related to the expensing of the accounting gain from the re-negotiated improved borrowing terms for the reserve-based lending facility over the period of usage of the facility.

Share in result of joint ventures and associated company

Share in result of joint ventures and associated company for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 0.0 (MUSD -1.3) and related to the 50 percent non-operated interest in the Leikanger hydropower project in Norway, with the project commencing production during the second quarter 2020. The loss in the comparative period related to the share in the result of the investment in Mintley Caspian Ltd. with this company currently being liquidated.

Tax

The overall tax charge for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 594.9 (MUSD 574.5) and is detailed in Note 6.

The current tax charge for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 251.2 (MUSD 80.5) and mainly related to Norway. The current tax charge for Norway for the reporting period related to both Corporate Tax and Special Petroleum Tax (SPT). The SPT tax losses were fully utilized during the fourth quarter of 2019, which resulted in increased current tax charges for the reporting period and the current tax charge for Norway for the comparative period related therefore, to Corporate Tax only. The paid tax installments in Norway during the reporting period amounted to MUSD 89.7, which has in combination with the current tax charge for the reporting period and exchange rate movements resulted in an increase in current tax liabilities compared to the end of last year from MUSD 343.3 to MUSD 479.0. On 19th June 2020 certain temporary changes in the Norwegian Petroleum Tax Law were enacted. The temporary changes allow investments incurred in 2020 and 2021 to be fully deducted against SPT in the year of investment compared to a six year linear depreciation for the ordinary tax regime. There is a further deduction available against the SPT in the form of an uplift. For the years 2020 and 2021, the uplift has been changed to 24 percent of the investment incurred in the year and is fully deductible in the year the investment is incurred, versus the previous uplift treatment which stipulated that the investment incurred during the year qualified for an uplift of 5.2 percent annually over four years (i.e. 20.8 percent uplift). The temporary changes in the Petroleum Tax Law also apply for Plan of Development and Operations submitted within 2022. These tax rules changes resulted in a reduction on current taxes for the reporting period and an increase in deferred tax for the reporting period.

The deferred tax charge for the reporting period amounted to MUSD 343.7 (MUSD 494.0) and related to Norway. A deferred tax amount arises primarily where there is a difference in depletion for tax and accounting purposes, with the deferred tax charge increased for the reporting period due to the temporary tax changes for the Special Petroleum Tax in Norway as outlined above.

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 21.4 and 78 percent. The effective tax rate for the reporting period is affected by items which do not receive a full tax credit such as the reported net foreign currency exchange results, Norwegian financial items and by the uplift allowance applicable in Norway for development expenditures against the offshore tax regime. The effective tax rate for the reporting period was mainly impacted by the reported foreign currency exchange loss and the effective tax rate on the adjusted net results for the reporting period amounted to 76 percent.

The decrease in site restoration is mainly caused by the weakening of the Norwegian Kroner during the reporting period and the commencement of decommissioning work on the Brynhild field.

Deferred tax liabilities amounted to MUSD 2,571.5 (MUSD 2,412.7). The provision mainly arises on the excess of book value over the tax value of oil and gas properties. Deferred tax assets are netted off against deferred tax liabilities where they relate to the same jurisdiction.

Derivative instruments amounted to MUSD 200.4 (MUSD 110.8) and related to the marked-to-market loss on outstanding interest rate and currency hedge contracts due to be settled after twelve months.

Current liabilities

Current financial liabilities amounted to MUSD 591.0 (MUSD 97.5) and are detailed in Note 11. Current financial liabilities related to the short-term portion of the outstanding bank loans and lease commitments. Current financial liabilities related for MUSD 586.0 (MUSD 92.0) to the short-term portion of the outstanding bank loans.

Dividends amounted to MUSD 142.9 (MUSD 106.0) and related to the cash dividend approved by the AGM held on 31 March 2020 in Stockholm, which will be paid in quarterly installments.

Trade and other payables amounted to MUSD 240.7 (MUSD 177.4) and are detailed in Note 13. Overlift amounted to MUSD 6.7 (MUSD 0.9) and was attributable to an overlift position mainly in relation to oil from the Alvheim Area. Joint operations creditors and accrued expenses amounted to MUSD 119.4 (MUSD 133.6) and related to activity in Norway. Other accrued expenses amounted to MUSD 28.3 (MUSD 16.6) and other current liabilities amounted to MUSD 3.1 (MUSD 8.5).

Derivative instruments amounted to MUSD 123.2 (MUSD 33.2) and related to the marked-to-market loss on outstanding interest rate and currency hedge contracts due to be settled within twelve months.

Current tax liabilities amounted to MUSD 479.0 (MUSD 343.3) and related mainly to Norway. The current tax liabilities have increased from MUSD 385.8 as of the end of the second quarter 2020 to MUSD 479.0 as of the end of the reporting period mainly due to cash taxes payments of MUSD 37.4 during the third quarter 2020 and a current tax charge for the third quarter of MUSD 121.7.

Current provisions amounted to MUSD 19.6 (MUSD 55.9) and are detailed in Note 12. The short-term portion of the future decommissioning obligations amounted to MUSD 16.6 (MUSD 49.2) mainly relating to the Brynhild field. The short-term portion of the provision for Lundin Energy's Unit Bonus Plan amounted to MUSD 3.0 (MUSD 6.7).

Parent Company

The business of the Parent Company is investment in and management of oil and gas assets and renewable energy projects. The net result for the Parent Company for the reporting period amounted to MSEK 2,700.3 (MSEK 18,965.6). The net result for the reporting period included MSEK 2,867.8 (MSEK 19,148.4) financial income as a result of received dividends from a subsidiary. The net result excluding received dividends amounted to MSEK -167.5 (MSEK -182.8).

The net result for the reporting period included general and administrative expenses of MSEK 175.7 (MSEK 170.5) and net finance expenses of MSEK 4.1 (MSEK 21.8) when excluding the received dividends as mentioned above.

Pledged assets of MSEK 55,118.9 (MSEK 55,118.9) relate to the carrying value of the pledge of the shares in respect of the reserve-based lending facility entered into by its wholly-owned subsidiary Lundin Energy Holding BV, see also the Liquidity section below.

Due to the oil price collapse during the first half of 2020, the Parent Company performed a full impairment test in relation to the shares held in Lundin Energy Holding B.V. by the end of the second quarter 2020. Based on this impairment test, no impairment was recognized by the Parent Company but the impairment headroom was reduced as a consequence of a lower long-term oil price being applied.

Related Party Transactions

During the reporting period, the Group has not entered into any material transactions with related parties.

Liquidity

In February 2016, Lundin Energy entered into a committed seven year senior secured reserve-based lending facility of USD 5.0 billion. The facility was amended during the second quarter of 2018, resulting in the interest rate margin over LIBOR being reduced from 3.15 percent to a current rate of 2.5 percent (2.25 percent). The facility is secured against certain cash flows generated by the Group. The amount available under the facility is recalculated every twelve months, based upon the calculated cash flow generated by certain producing fields and fields under development, at an oil price and economic assumptions agreed with the banking syndicate providing the facility. The facility is secured by a pledge over the shares of certain Group companies, a pledge over the Company's working interest in some production licences and a charge over some of the bank accounts of the pledged companies. The size of the committed facility is currently USD 4.75 billion and will reduce to USD 4.0 billion as per 1 January 2021 and to USD 3.25 billion as per 1 July 2021. Lundin Energy's intention is to refinance the external loan facility within the coming 9-months period and is expecting to achieve such refinancing on competitive terms given the financial robustness of the Company and the low cost base of its assets. The Company received on 29 July 2020 its inaugural public credit rating from S&P Global Rating, with a rating of BBB- with a stable outlook.

In January 2020, Lundin Energy entered into a revolving credit facility amounting to MUSD 260 for the financing of the renewable power projects with a current interest rate margin over LIBOR of 1.25 percent. The facility size was reduced to MUSD 160 in March 2020 following the farm down of 50 percent of the Metsälamminkangas (MLK) wind farm project to Sval.

In April 2020, Lundin Energy entered into an unsecured corporate facility amounting to MUSD 340 as a prudent measure due to the oil market uncertainties. The facility, which remains undrawn, has a current interest rate margin over LIBOR of 2.6 percent.

Contingent liabilities

The Swedish Prosecution Authority issued a notification of a corporate fine and forfeiture of economic benefits against Lundin Energy in relation to past operations in Sudan from 1997 to 2003. The notification indicated that the Prosecutor might seek a corporate fine of SEK 3 million and forfeiture of economic benefits from the alleged offense in the amount of SEK 3,282 million, based on the profit of the sale of the Block 5A asset in 2003 of SEK 720 million. Any potential corporate fine or forfeiture would only be imposed after the conclusion of a trial, should one occur. The investigation is in its eleventh year and Lundin Energy remains convinced that there are absolutely no grounds for any allegations of wrongdoing by any Company representative and the Company will firmly contest any corporate fine or forfeiture of economic benefits. The Company considers this to be a contingent liability and therefore no provision has been recognised.

Subsequent Events

In October 2020, Lundin Energy entered into a sales and purchase agreement with Idemitsu Petroleum Norge AS involving the acquisition of a 10 percent working interest in the major Wisting oil discovery in licences PL537 and PL537B. Wisting is estimated to contain 500 MMbo of gross resources and is scheduled to be one of the next Barents Sea production hubs. Equinor, the operator of Wisting in the development phase, is targeting a PDO by end 2022, to benefit from the temporary tax incentives established by the Norwegian Government in June 2020. The transaction also involves a 15 percent working interest in PL609, PL609B, PL609C, PL609D and PL851, which increases Lundin Energy's working interest from 40 to 55 percent in the Alta discovery and from 40 to 47.5 percent in the Polmak exploration well, both operated by the Company. The transaction, which is effective from January 2020, adds estimated net contingent resources of approximately 70 MMboe for a cash consideration of MUSD 125, and is subject to usual Norwegian regulatory approvals, with completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2020.

During October 2020, Lundin Energy rolled forward to 2021 certain foreign currency exchange contracts with an original settlement date in 2020 to buy MNOK 296 against an average contractual exchange rate of NOK 8.72:USD 1.

Share Data

Lundin Energy AB'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) with the issued share capital including a bonus issue (sw. fondemission) of SEK 556,594 during 2019, to restore the share capital of Lundin Energy to the same amount as immediately prior to the share redemption as approved by the EGM of Lundin Energy held on 31 July 2019.

During 2017, Lundin Energy purchased 1,233,310 of its own shares at an average price of SEK 186.14 based on the approval granted at the AGM 2017. During 2018, Lundin Energy purchased an additional 640,000 of its own shares at an average price of SEK 186.77 based on the approval granted at the AGM 2017.

During 2020, Lundin Energy used 300,167 of the purchased own shares for settlement of the 2017 performance based incentive plan resulting in 1,573,143 of its own shares held by the Company by the end of the reporting period.

The AGM of Lundin Energy held on 31 March 2020 in Stockholm approved a cash dividend distribution for the year 2019 of USD 1.00 per share, to be paid in quarterly installments of USD 0.25 per share. Before payment, each quarterly dividend of USD 0.25 per share shall be converted into a SEK amount, and paid out in SEK, based on the USD to SEK exchange rate published by Sweden's central bank (Riksbanken) four business days prior to each record date (rounded off to the nearest whole SEK 0.01 per share). The final USD equivalent amount received by the shareholders may therefore slightly differ depending on what the USD to SEK exchange rate is on the date of the dividend payment. Based on the number of shares outstanding, excluding own shares held by the Company, the approved dividend distribution amounted to MSEK 2,867.8, equaling MUSD 284.1 based on the exchange rate on the date of AGM approval.

The first dividend payment was made on 7 April 2020, the second dividend payment was made on 8 July 2020 and the third dividend payment was made on 7 October 2020. The fourth dividend payment is expected to be paid around 8 January 2021, with an expected record date of 4 January 2021 and an expected ex-dividend date of 30 December 2020.

In order to comply with Swedish company law, a maximum total SEK amount shall be pre-determined to ensure that the dividend distributed does not exceed the available distributable reserves of the Company and such maximum amount for the 2019 dividend has been set to a cap of SEK 5.188 billion (i.e., SEK 1.297 billion per quarter). If the total dividend would exceed the cap of SEK 5.188 billion, the dividend will be automatically adjusted downwards so that the total dividend corresponds to the cap of SEK 5.188 billion.

Remuneration

Lundin Energy's principles for remuneration and details of the long-term incentive plans are provided in the Company's 2019 Annual Report and in the materials provided to shareholders in respect of the 2020 AGM, available on www.lundin-energy.com

The plan is effective from 1 July 2020 and the 2020 award is accounted for from the second half of 2020. The total outstanding number of awards at 30 September 2020 was 393,113 and the awards vest over three years from 1 July 2020 subject to certain performance conditions being met. Each original award was fair valued at the date of grant at SEK 147.10 using an option pricing model.

Accounting Policies

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (SFS 1995:1554).

Lundin Energy has reclassified currency translation reserve balances within equity in accordance with IAS8 in relation to the deconsolidation of the Russian operations back in 2017. Reported Shareholder' equity is not affected by this reclassification.

The accounting policies adopted are in all aspects consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

The financial reporting of the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Sweden, applying RFR 2 Reporting for legal entities, issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board and the Annual Accounts Act (SFS 1995:1554).

Under Swedish company regulations it is not allowed to report the Parent Company results in any other currency than Swedish Krona or Euro and consequently the Parent Company's financial information is reported in Swedish Krona and not the Group's presentation currency of US Dollar.

Risks and Risk Management

The objective of Business Risk Management is to identify, understand and manage threats and opportunities within the business on a continual basis. This objective is achieved by creating a mandate and commitment to risk management at all levels of the business. This approach actively addresses risk as an integral and continual part of decision making within the Group and is designed to ensure that all risks are identified, fully acknowledged, understood and communicated well in advance. The ability to manage and or mitigate these risks represents a key component in ensuring that the business aim of the Company is achieved. Nevertheless, oil and gas exploration, development and production involve high operational and financial risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to fully eliminate or which are beyond the Company's control.

A detailed analysis of Lundin Energy's strategic, operational, financial and external risks and mitigation of those risks through risk management is described in Lundin Energy's 2019 Annual Report.

Coronavirus Crisis and Low Oil Price Response

The coronavirus crisis, its economic impact and the oil price collapse continues to provide a challenging market backdrop. The main focus of the Company's response has been on reducing the risk of the virus spreading in the operations and safeguarding the well-being of the Company's employees and contractors, whilst at the same time minimising the potential impact on the business.

Detailed contingency plans have been established to mitigate the risk, a key element of which is that all personnel visiting the Company's operated production and drilling sites are now tested for the virus before travelling offshore.The Company's main offices are largely back to normal occupancy levels, consistent with authority guidelines and offshore activities are continuing with normal manning levels, which means that some activities previously deferred to manage the risk have been brought forward to optimise longterm business outcomes. To date there have been no disruptions to production due to the coronavirus situation.

Lundin Energy has high quality, low cost assets, which are resilient to a low oil price environment. Nevertheless, the Company has taken steps to defer activity and reduce spend, where it does not impact safety, asset integrity or production, in order to further strengthen the near term cash flow and liquidity of the business. Total expenditure reductions and deferrals in 2020 are over MUSD 330 from original guidance, including capital expenditures, operating costs and G&A.

Derivative financial instruments

Lundin Energy has entered into derivative financial instruments to address its exposure for exchange rate fluctuations for capital expenditure amounts relating to its committed field development projects and Corporate and Special Petroleum Tax amounts. At 30 September 2020, Lundin Energy had outstanding foreign currency contracts as summarised below:

Note 14 – Financial instruments

For financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet, the following fair value measurement hierarchy is used:

– Level 1: based on quoted prices in active markets;

– Level 2: based on inputs other than quoted prices as within level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable;

– Level 3: based on inputs which are not based on observable market data.

Based on this hierarchy, financial instruments measured at fair value can be detailed as follows:

30 September 2020
MUSD Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

Contingent consideration 12.6
Derivative instruments – non-current

14.0 12.4
Liabilities
Derivative instruments – non-current 110.8
Derivative instruments – current 33.2
144.0

There were no transfers between the levels during the reporting period.

The fair value of the financial assets is estimated to equal the carrying value. The fair value of the derivative instruments is calculated using the forward interest rate curve and the forward exchange rate curve respectively for the interest rate swap and the currency hedging contracts. The hedge counterparties are all banks which are party to the loan facility agreement. The sale of 2.6 percent of Johan Sverdrup during 2019 included a contingent consideration based on future reserve reclassifications and is due in 2026, This contingent consideration was fair valued by the Company in 2019 with no changes in 2020.

  • Other items of income and expenses are adjusted when the impact on net result in the period is not reflective of the company's underlying performance in the period. Such items may be unusual or infrequent transactions but they may also include transactions that are significant which would not necessarily qualify as either unusual or infrequent.
  • Foreign currency exchange gain or loss is adjusted since the gain or loss does not give an indication of future or periodic performance as currency exchange rates change between periods.
  • Tax effects of the above mentioned adjustments to net result
