Operating revenue: The Group's operating revenue for H1 2025 was USD27.9 million compared to USD 25.8 million in H1 2024. Operating revenue was increased by 8 % or USD 2.1 million compared to the corresponding half of 2024. The increase in operating revenue is mainly due to increased activity in some regions.
EBITDA: EBITDA was at USD 6.9 million in H1 2025, compared to USD 7.9 million in H1 2024. The reduction in EBITDA is a consequence of increased revenues with lower margins and at the same time, reduced revenues with higher margins in the Energy Service Division.
Operating profit: The Group's operating profit for H1 2025 was USD 3.4 million compared to USD 4.4 million in H1 2024. The reduction in operating profit is a consequence of the reduced EBITDA in the Energy Service Division.

Within the Energy Division, the 49.9% owned associated company Petrolia NOCO AS ("Petrolia NOCO" or "PNO") is actively pursuing exploration and production opportunities as an independent license holder and operator of producing fields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf ("NCS"). The company now has a total of 13 licences, of which four are as operator.
The company has a 12.2575% working interest in the Brage unit with a production of 2,035 boepd net to PNO in first half 2025; a 4.35% working interest in the Enoch unit, which produced an average of 15 boepd in first half 2025. On 25 August, the Operator of the Brage license reported oil discoveries in the Talisker exploration well.

Gas prices have trended towards international LNG prices. Oil price has been volatile and seems to level out at around 65 USD/bbl. The Board expects activity to be reduced and that the oil industry will remain volatile in the foreseeable future due to fluctuations in oil prices.
The Energy Service Division owns and operates one land rig in Iraq. The rig started operations again in June 2025 but the market is expected to remain weak due to the reduced activity in Iraq, following the closing of the pipeline to Turkey in March 2023.
Through CO2 Management AS, the Division focuses on decarbonisation efforts for the European hard-to-abate industry, including waste-to-energy, lime and cement production. In Bremen, Germany, a multimodal CO2 Hub is being planned by CO2 Management AS and project partner bremenports GmbH & Co. KG. The Bremen hub is part of the coalition agreement of the elected state government.
There have been no significant related party transactions.
Energy Division:
Petrolia NOCO seeks to maximise field potential through innovative exploration and production in mature areas of the Norwegian Continental Shelf ('NCS'), leveraging on the extensive industry experience of its management team and an experienced and dynamic technical team.
Petrolia NOCO currently holds 13 licences on the NCS including four as operator. The Group directly and indirectly holds 49.9% of the share capital of Petrolia NOCO and is the main shareholder. The shares are registered in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository ("Verdipapirsentralen", VPS) with ISIN: NO0010844301. The shares are registered with ticker "PNO" on the NOTC (www.notc.no), a marketplace for unlisted shares.
Energy Service Division: The Division´s involvement in oilfield services began with the acquisition of Independent Oil Tools AS in 2007. The Division has developed into a well-respected, international equipment rental and oil service group with global presence. This Division owns one land rig, drill pipes, test strings & tubing, handling and auxiliary tools and pressure control equipment for onshore and offshore activities. In addition, the Division provides associated services such as tubular running services, fishing services, land drilling, work-over services and various other sustainable services.
The Energy Service Division benefits from an excellent track record of availability, technical compliance, experience and performance. It has a well-established, large, international client base, including a portfolio of contracts in place with numerous major oil service companies, oil companies and drilling contractors.
The activities and assets of the Group are primarily in USD and the loan to Petrolia NOCO AS (reported as 'other financial fixed asset') is in NOK. There is therefore a currency risk regarding the USD/NOK exchange rate.
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will have an impact on the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.
The Board closely monitors the cash position of the group and the cash flow forecasts. It remains confident in the Group's ability to maintain sufficient financial resources to enable it to continue as a going-concern for the foreseeable future.
On 25 August, the Operator of the Brage license reported oil discoveries in the Talisker exploration well. Total preliminary gross (100%) recoverable reserves for the discoveries are estimated to 16 - 33 million barrels of oil equivalent.
In accordance with Article 10, sections (3) (c) and (7) of the Cyprus Transparency Requirements (Securities for Trading on Regulated Market) Law of 2007 ("Law"), we the members of the Board of Directors and the other responsible persons for the drafting of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Petrolia SE for the period 1 January to 30 June 2025, confirm that, to the best of our knowledge:

Operating revenue is the revenue that a company generates from its primary business activities.
EBITDA is operating result before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. The EBITDA is primarily used to measure the company's operational performance by removing the cost of debt financing, taxes and non-cash elements such as depreciation and amortisation.
Operating profit is the profit from the company's operations (gross profit minus operating expenses) before deduction of interest and taxes. Operating profit serves as a highly accurate indicator of a company's health because it removes all extraneous factors from the calculation. All expenses that are necessary to keep the business running are included.
Net Income + / – Other Comprehensive Income / (Other Comprehensive Loss).

Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as profit (before other comprehensive income) allocated to the majority, divided by the average outstanding shares of its common stock:
The resulting number serves as an indicator of a company's profitability. Earnings per share is intended to provide a measure of the proportion of each ordinary share in the performance that the company has had in the reporting period. It can be used to compare the performance between different entities in the same period, as well as between different periods for the same entity.
Shareholder equity ratio, expressed as a percentage, is calculated by dividing total shareholders' equity by the total assets of the Company. The result represents the percentage of the assets on which shareholders have a residual claim.
Book value of shareholders' equity per share is the ratio of equity available to common shareholders divided by the average number of outstanding (issued) shares. A measure of the amount of equity that exists at the end of the period per average outstanding share and is used for measuring the shareholder's equity attributable per share. It can be used to compare the equity per share between different entities in the same period, as well as between different periods for the same entity and also to compare the market price of the share against the Equity per share between different entities in the same period, as well as between different periods for the same entity.
