Introduction
Equinor has prepared a report on payments to governments in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act §2-10 and the Norwegian Securities Trading Act §5-5a. The companies involved in extractive and logging activities are required to disclose payments made to governments at project and country level and additional contextual information, consisting of certain legal, monetary, numerical and production volume information, related to the extractive part of the operations or to the entire group.
Executive summary
Equinor is engaged in upstream activities in several countries across the globe. In 2025, the countries where Equinor made payments to governments included Algeria, Angola, Argentina, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Canada, Libya, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, the UK and the USA. The total value contribution from these upstream activities in host countries amounts to USD 23 billion, of which taxes paid amounted to USD 21 billion, whereas royalties, fees, bonuses, and host government entitlements amounted to USD 2 billion.
Basis for preparation
The regulation requires Equinor to prepare a consolidated report for the previous financial year on direct payments to governments. This includes payments made by Equinor and its subsidiaries, as well as payments made on behalf of partners when Equinor acts as operator in extractive activities. These activities comprise exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of oil and natural gas.

Reporting principles
The report includes payments made directly by Equinor to governments, such as taxes and royalties. Payments made by the operator of an oil and/or gas licence on behalf of the licensed partners, such as area fees, are also included in this report. For assets where Equinor is the operator, the full payment made on behalf of the whole partnership (100%) is included. No payment will be disclosed in cases where Equinor is not the operator, unless the operator is a state-owned entity and it is possible to distinguish the payment from other cost recovery items.
Host government production entitlements paid by the licence operator are also included in the report. The size of such entitlements can in some cases constitute the most significant payments to governments.
For some of our projects, we have established a subsidiary to hold the ownership in a joint venture. For these projects, payments may be made to governments in the country of operation as well as to governments in the country where the subsidiary resides. However, incorporated joint ventures where Equinor is not the operator and does not control the entity are not included in this report.
Payments to governments are reported in the year that the actual cash payment was made (cash principle). Amounts included as contextual information are reported in the year the transaction relates to (accrual principle), regardless of when the cash flows occurred, except for Income tax paid (cash principle). Amounts are subject to rounding. Rounding differences may occur in summary tables.
Government
In the context of this report, a government is defined as any national, regional or local authority of a country. It includes any department, agency or undertaking (i.e. corporation) controlled by that government.
Project definition
A project is defined as the operational activity governed by a single contract, licence, lease, concession or similar legal agreement and that forms the basis for payment obligations to a government.
Payments not directly linked to a specific project but levied at the company entity level, are reported at that level.
Materiality
Payments constitute a single payment, or a series of related payments that equal or exceed 800,000 NOK (USD 79,300) during the year. Payments below the threshold in a given country will not be included in the overview of projects and payments.
Reporting currency
Payments to governments in foreign currencies (other than USD) are converted to USD using the average annual 2025 exchange rate.
Reporting segments
Equinor's payments to governments are made through the reporting segments Exploration & Production Norway, Exploration & Production International and Exploration and Production USA. For more information on Equinor's reporting segments, reference is made to the 2025 Integrated annual report published on our website: equinor.com/reports.
Payment types disclosed at project or legal entity level that are relevant for Equinor
The following payment types are disclosed for legal entities involved in extractive activities. They are presented on a cash basis, net of any interest expenses, whether paid in cash or in-kind. In-kind payments are reported in millions of barrels of oil equivalent and the equivalent cash value.
- Tax levied on the income, production or profits of companies includes severance tax and taxes paid in-kind. The value of taxes paid in-kind is calculated based on the market price at the time of the in-kind payment. Taxes levied on consumption, such as value added tax, $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ fees, personal income tax, sales tax, withholding tax, property tax and environmental tax are excluded. Negative amounts represent tax refunds received from governments
Royalties are usage-based payments for the right to the ongoing use of an asset
Fees are typically levied on the right to use a geographical area for exploration, development and production and include rental fees, area fees, entry fees, concession fees and other considerations for licences and/or concessions. Administrative government fees that are not specifically related to the extractive activities or to access extractive resources, are excluded
- Bonuses are payments made when signing an oil and gas lease, when discovering natural resources and/or when production has commenced. Bonuses often include signature-, discovery- and production bonuses and are a commonly used payment type, depending on the petroleum fiscal regime. Bonuses can also include elements of social contribution
- Host government production entitlements are the host government's share of production after oil production has been allocated to cover costs and expenses under a production sharing agreement (PSA). Host government production entitlements are most often paid in-kind. The value of these payments is calculated based on the market price at the time of the in-kind payment. For some PSAs, the host government production entitlements are sold by the operator, and the related costs are split between the partners. For these contracts, Equinor does not make payments directly to governments, but to the operator

Contextual information at country level
The report discloses contextual information for legal entities engaged in extractive activities in Equinor, as listed below. All information is disclosed in accordance with the accrual accounting principle.
- Investments are defined as additions to property, plant and equipment (including leases), capitalised exploration expenditures, intangible assets, long-term share investments and investments in associated companies
- Revenues associated with the production of crude oil and natural gas related to our extractive activities. Revenues include third party revenues and other income, inter-segment revenues and net income/(loss) from equity accounted investments. Cost shows the sum of operating expenses, SG&A (sales, general and administrative expenses) and exploration expenses, adjusted for net impairments
- Equity production volumes are the volumes that correspond to Equinor's ownership interest in a field and do not include production of the Norwegian State's share of oil and natural gas
Contextual information at entity level
The following contextual information is disclosed for all of Equinor's legal entities as of 31 December 2025. This disclosure is prepared in accordance with § 2-10 of the Norwegian Accounting Act, which requires entity-level information. Figures presented in this section are before consolidation adjustments, meaning they include intercompany transactions and amounts prior to eliminations. Consolidation eliminations are shown separately later in this report. Definitions below refer to how these items are presented in Equinor's consolidated financial statement for consistency, but contextual figures may differ from consolidated figures in the 2025 Annual Report. The information is structured based on country of incorporation, which is the jurisdiction in which the company is registered.
- Country of operation is the country where the company performs its main activities
- The description of the core business activity is presented according to the business areas where the business operations take place. Each company is associated to a business area as shown in the contextual information at Equinor group level.
-
Number of employees (per company) is based on the registered company location. The actual number of employees present in a country can deviate from the reported figures due to expatriation. In some companies there are no employees. These may purchase man-hours from other companies in the Equinor group, as applicable
-
Net intercompany interest is the company's net intercompany interest expense (interest expense minus interest income) to companies in another jurisdiction. Interest between companies within the same jurisdiction is eliminated. Intercompany interest is the interest levied on long-term and short-term borrowings within the Equinor group
- Revenues include third-party revenues, other income, intercompany revenues, and net income/(loss) from equity-accounted investments.
- Income before tax represents the entity's result before tax.
- Income tax expense calculated based on taxable profit or loss for the year.
-
Income tax paid are reconciled to the amount presented in the Consolidated statement of cash flows in the 2025 annual report and in addition include taxes paid in-kind in Algeria and Libya.
-
Retained earnings include the gains and losses accumulated by the companies together with currency translation adjustments and other comprehensive income. Being part of shareholders' equity, retained earnings are presented as reported in Equinor accounting system for consolidation purposes
- Retained earnings can be impacted by the dividend paid, group contributions and reclassifications between paid in capital and retained earnings. The retained earnings as presented in this report may be different compared to the figures in the statutory financial statement due to the differences in functional currency and accounting principles for group reporting versus local requirements.
- The parent company's shares in subsidiaries are not considered for impairment when the local statutory reporting is based on accounting principles different from IFRS® Accounting Standards or there are no local statutory requirements for impairment since these effects would be eliminated on the group reporting.

Consolidated overview
The consolidated overview below discloses the sum (total) of Equinor's payments to governments in each country, according to the payment type. The overview is based on the location of the receiving government.
The total payments to each country may be different from the total payments disclosed in the overview of payments for each project in the report. This is because payments disclosed for each project relate to the country of operation, irrespective of the location of the receiving government. In 2025, there has been a slight increase in tax payments year-on-year, primarily reflecting timing effects in tax installments, partly offset by lower realised commodity prices.

Contextual information at Equinor group level
The table below is an overview of all legal entities in the Equinor group by country of incorporation as of 31 December 2025. It presents the following information per each company: the number of employees, net intercompany interest to companies in other jurisdictions, short description of the company's activity, revenues including intercompany revenues, income before tax, current income tax expense, income tax paid and retained earnings. The total amounts are reconciled to the Group Consolidated financial statements in the 2025 annual report and prepared in compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The numbers in the Contextual information table based on the country of operation may deviate from the table based on the country of incorporation, as country of operation could be different than country of incorporation. Prior period corrections are reflected in the current year, normally due to statutory reporting finalized after the annual report. Retained earnings as presented in the table below will be decreased by the dividend paid and increased or decreased by group contributions and reclassifications between paid in capital and retained earnings.

Report on payments to governments
Scope
We have been engaged by Equinor ASA to perform a limited assurance engagement, as defined by International Standards on Assurance Engagements, here after referred to as the engagement, to report on Equinor ASA's Report on the payments to governments (the "Report") for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Criteria applied by Equinor ASA
In preparing the Report, Equinor ASA applied the Norwegian Accounting Act §2-10, the Norwegian Security Trading Act §5-5a. Forskrift om land-for-land rapportering and the reporting principles as set out in the Report (the "Criteria"): As a result, the information may not be suitable for another purpose.
Equinor ASA's responsibilities
Equinor ASA's Board of Directors and management are responsible for selecting the Criteria, and for presenting the payments to governments in accordance with that Criteria, in all material respects. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal controls, maintaining adequate records, and making estimates that are relevant to the preparation of the Report, such that it is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
EY's responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the presentation of the Report based on the evidence we have obtained.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with the International Standard for Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information (ISAE 3000 (Revised)), and the terms of reference for this engagement as agreed with Equinor ASA on 20 January 2026. Those standards require that we plan and perform our engagement to express a conclusion on whether we are aware of any material modifications that need to be made to the payments to governments in order for it to be in accordance with the Criteria, and to issue a report. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risk of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited assurance conclusion.
Our independence and quality management
We have maintained our independence and confirm that we have met the requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, and have the required competencies and experience to conduct this assurance engagement.
EY also applies International Standard on Quality Management 1, Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services engagements, which requires that we design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Description of procedures performed
Procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed. Our procedures were designed to obtain a limited level of assurance on which to base our conclusion and do not provide all the evidence that would be required to provide a reasonable level of assurance.
Although we considered the effectiveness of management's internal controls when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our assurance engagement was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls. Our procedures did not include testing controls or performing procedures relating to checking aggregation or calculation of data within IT systems.
