Progressing our investments according to plan
In a supportive fiscal regime
Aker BP est. capex before and after tax1 USD billion

- Capex for ongoing PDO projects in line with plans presented two years ago
- Minor adjustments to phasing between years
- ~85% is related to projects subject to the temporary tax system with 86.9% tax deduction
- The remaining is subject to ordinary tax system with 78% tax deduction
- Capex for new projects outside current plan is expected in the range of USD 15-25 per boe

The tax system is highly supportive for investments
In the investment phase, taxes paid are significantly lower than tax expense in the P&L
Illustrative1 tax calculations Aker BP 2023 - 2028 USD billion

- Relatively low tax payments in periods with high investments
- Especially prominent in low oil price scenarios
- An illustrative tax calculation example

Illustrative calculations. 2023 and 2024 as reported. Production profile, capex and opex as indicated at the Strategy Update 12 February 2025. USDNOK 11.00 (2025) & 10.50 assumed 1) Cash flow from operations after tax and Investments are illustrated after netting of tax deductions for capex 2) Free cash flow: Net cash flow from operating activities less Net cash flow from investment activities 3) Leverage ratio: Net interest-bearing debt divided by EBITDAX last 12 months, excluding effects of IFRS16 Leasing. Assuming a 5% annual increase in dividend from 2025

Resilient dividend growth
Dividends
USD per share

- Low-cost production and cash flow provide resilient dividend capacity
- Distributions reflect capacity through the cycle
- Ambition to grow the dividend with minimum 5% per year
- 5% dividend growth planned in 2025

Near-term tax payments
Sensitivity for H2-2025
USD million

Adjusted tax payment schedule from Q3-251
▪ Number of tax instalments increased to ten from six per year, with no payment in January and July
2025 assumptions used in sensitivity analysis
- Oil price: USD 70 and 80 per barrel
- Gas price: USD 13.0 per MMBtu
- USDNOK: 11.0
79 1) New process for tax payments: Tax for the year is paid in ten monthly instalments plus a final settlement in Q4 following year. First payment in August, and no payment in January and July. Initial tax estimate for the year is made in Q2, the H2-instalments are then fixed in NOK. Option for voluntary addition payment will be spread over three instalments (September, October and November) – normally only relevant if initial estimate was too low. At year-end, the upcoming five instalments (Feb-June) may be adjusted to reflect latest estimate.

The Norwegian petroleum tax system
An overview
| Ordinary tax system | ▪ Stable 78% tax rate, consisting of corporate tax (CT) and special petroleum tax (SPT) ▪ Cash flow-based tax system from 2022 ▪ Immediate deductions for offshore investments in SPT and refund of tax losses |
|---|---|
| Temporary tax system implemented in 2020 to stimulate investments during the pandemic |
▪ An additional 12.4 % deduction of offshore investments in SPT for projects sanctioned pre-2023 ▪ Resulting in 86.9% deduction for investments versus 78% tax on income ▪ Applica le to ~85% of Aker BP's investments 2023-2027 |
| Financial effects | ▪ Cash flows accelerated with higher investments due to an increased gap between P&L and cash tax ▪ Tax-losses no longer carried forward, increasing robustness in years with low commodity prices ▪ Reduced outstanding tax balances and increased deferred tax on the balance sheet |
