"Equinor delivers strong financial results in the first quarter. I am pleased to see the good operational performance and solid production capturing higher gas prices. With the current market uncertainties, Equinor's core objective is safe, stable and cost efficient operations and resilience through a strong balance sheet."
"We maintain a competitive capital distribution and expect to deliver a total of USD 9 billion in 2025."
"The production start-up of the Johan Castberg field strengthens Norway's role as a reliable energy exporter to Europe. The field opens a new region in the Barents Sea and is expected to contribute to energy supply, value creation and ripple effects for at least 30 years to come."
"We have invested in Empire Wind after obtaining all necessary approvals, and the order to halt work now is unprecedented and in our view unlawful. This is a question of the rights and obligations granted under legally issued permits, and security of investments based on valid approvals. We seek to engage directly with the US Administration to clarify the matter and are considering our legal options."

CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES
Equinor delivered a total equity production of 2,123 mboe per day in the first quarter, down from 2,164 mboe in the same quarter last year.
The operational performance for most of the fields on Norwegian continental shelf is strong, including the Johan Sverdrup and Troll fields. This almost offsets the negative production impact from the shut-in at Sleipner B after the fire in fourth quarter 2024 and planned and unplanned maintenance at Hammerfest LNG.
In the US, production increased from the same period last year. This was due to increased production from the fields and transactions increasing Equinor's ownership interest in onshore gas assets in 2024.
The production from the international upstream segment, excluding US, is down compared to the same quarter last year, due to exits from Nigeria and Azerbaijan in 2024.
The total power generation from the renewable portfolio was 0.76 TWh, on par with the same period last year.
In the quarter, Equinor completed five offshore exploration wells on the NCS with two commercial discoveries.
Equinor delivered adjusted operating income* of USD 8.65 billion. and USD 2.25 billion after tax* in the first quarter of 2025. The results are driven by solid gas production and higher gas prices.
Equinor realised a European gas price of USD 14.8 per mmbtu and realised liquids prices were USD 70.6 per bbl in the first quarter.
Adjusted operating and administrative expenses* increased from the same quarter last year driven by overlift, higher maintenance activity and some one-off costs. This was partially offset by active measures to reduce costs for business development and early phase projects in renewables and low carbon solutions.
A strong operational performance generated a cash flow from operating activities, before taxes paid and working capital items, of USD 10.6 billion for the first quarter. Equinor paid one NCS tax instalment of USD 3.09 billion in the quarter.
Cash flow from operations after taxes paid* ended at USD 7.39 billion.
Organic capital expenditure* was USD 3.02 billion for the quarter, and total capital expenditures were USD 4.50 billion.
Equinor continues to demonstrate capital discipline and strengthen financial robustness with a net debt to capital employed adjusted ratio* of 6.9% at the end of the first quarter, compared to 11.9% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.
After quarter close, Equinor received a halt work order from the US government on the offshore construction on the outer continental shelf for the Empire Wind project. The lease was obtained in 2017 and the project was fully permitted in 2024. It has a potential for delivering power to half a million New York homes, and is approximately 30% to completion.
Equinor is complying with the order and is seeking dialogue with the proper authorities and assessing legal options. The Empire Wind project has per 31 March 2025 a gross book value of around USD 2.5 billion, including South Brooklyn Marine Terminal.
A major milestone was reached when production was started from the Johan Castberg field in the Barents Sea on 31 March. Production also started at the Halten East development in the Norwegian Sea, with estimated recoverable reserves of 100 million boe and one year pay-back time.
Equinor continues to optimise and strengthen longterm value creation on the NCS, and was awarded 27 new production licenses in the Awards in Predefined Areas round (APA) in January. The ambition is to drill around 250 exploration wells on the NCS by 2035.
In the quarter, the Bacalhau floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) arrived at its destination in the Santos Basin in Brazil's pre-salt region. First oil is expected in 2025.
Within low carbon solutions, Equinor together with partners Shell and TotalEnergies made a final investment decision to progress phase two of the groundbreaking Northern Lights carbon transport and storage development in Øygarden. The NOK 7.5 billion investment is expected to increase the total injection capacity from 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year (Mtpa) to at least 5 Mtpa and further develop the commercial market for transport and storage of CO2.
The appraisal wells for carbon storage at Smeaheia were completed in the quarter on time and on cost.

Equinor delivered strong financial results in the first quarter of 2025, driven by solid production and higher gas prices.
In E&P Norway, new wells on the NCS and sustained contributions from the Johan Sverdrup and Troll fields supported production in the quarter. Natural decline across several fields, along with the fire at Sleipner B and both planned and unplanned maintenance at Hammerfest LNG, contributed to lower production levels compared to the strong first quarter of 2024.
Strategic transactions in the international upstream business throughout 2024 shaped production levels in the quarter. The acquisition of additional interests in US onshore assets in December 2024 increased E&P USA production compared to the same quarter last year. The high production levels were impacted by workover activities on offshore assets. In E&P
International, the divestments of interests in Nigeria and Azerbaijan in the fourth quarter of 2024 contributed to a decline in production for the quarter, offsetting the contribution from new wells across the E&P International portfolio.
Growth in the onshore renewables portfolio and gas to power generation contributed to the total power generation increase in the quarter. The 9% increase in total power generation was driven by stronger clean spark spreads in gas to power generation and onshore assets in Brazil. Renewable production from offshore wind farms was lower than expected due to unfavourable wind conditions, partially offsetting the total power generation increase compared to the same period last year.
The Marketing, Midstream and Processing segment's contribution to the group results was impacted in the first quarter by reduced margins in gas, LNG, and liquids trading. In addition, costs associated with the
CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES
development of low-carbon projects, including the drilling of wells for future carbon storage, increased compared to previous quarters.
Higher realised gas prices, complimented by an increased share of gas in the production mix, drove strong revenue and results for the quarter. Lower liquids prices and production impacted this growth, partially offsetting the increase in revenue compared to the same quarter last year.
The transition from a large underlift position in the first quarter of the prior year to an overlift in E&P International this quarter contributed to an increase in adjusted operating and administrative expenses*. Higher maintenance activity and several one-off costs across our portfolio also contributed to the increase, partially offset by a reduction in business development and early phase projects within the renewables and low carbon solutions businesses.
Adjusted depreciation, amortisation and net impairments* decreased in the quarter, primarily due to the cessation of depreciation for the UK assets, Mariner and Buzzard, which have been classified as held for sale following the announcement to form a joint venture between Equinor UK Ltd and Shell UK Limited in December 2024 . The ramp up of new fields and field-specific investments partially offset the decrease.
Lower drilling activity contributed to a decrease in exploration expenses in the quarter compared to the same period last year. This decrease was partially offset by higher seismic costs and drilling costs per well on the NCS.
Net financial items reduced from the same period in the prior year mainly due to currency losses from the weakening of USD versus NOK, compared to currency gains in the same quarter of 2024 due to strengthening of USD versus NOK.
The effective reported tax rate of 70.4% for the first quarter of 2025 increased compared to 66.6% in the same period in 2024 due to a higher share of income from jurisdictions with high tax rates and the extension of the Energy Profits Levy in the UK. The increase was partially offset by the tax exempted gain from the swap with Petoro on the NCS, see Note 3 Acquisitions and disposals to the first quarter condensed interim financial statements.
Strong financial results during the first quarter of 2025 generated cash flow provided by operating activities before taxes paid and working capital items of USD 10,620 million. The upward movement in gas prices, coupled with the increased share of gas in the production mix, drove the increase from USD 9,806 million in the same period in the prior year.
Cash flow from operations after taxes paid* increased compared to the first quarter of 2024, from USD 5,957 million to USD 7,394 million, primarily due to higher income before tax and lower tax payments in the quarter.
Tax payments in the first quarter totalled USD 3,226 million, mainly due to a single Norwegian corporation tax instalment. This is a decrease from USD 3,849 million in the same period last year, with the reduction reflecting the relatively lower pricing environment of 2024. The final two NCS tax instalments related to 2024 earnings, totalling NOK 70.4 billion, are expected to be paid in the second quarter of 2025.
A working capital decrease of USD 1,647 million positively impacted the cash flow in the first quarter of 2025, compared to a decrease of USD 3,181 million in the first quarter of 2024.
Net cash flow before capital distribution* increased from negative USD 2,555 million in the prior quarter to positive USD 4,546 million, primarily reflecting the decrease in NCS tax instalments and strategic noncurrent financial investments.
In the first quarter, cash flow from operations after taxes paid* amounted to a USD 7,394 million inflow, with net cash flow* of USD 2,086 million after capital expenditures, investments and shareholder distributions, including USD 1,911 million in dividends paid.
A decrease in net debt, mainly due to decreased working capital, combined with an increase in equity during the quarter caused a decrease in the net debt to capital employed adjusted ratio* at the end of the first quarter from 11.9% at the end of December 2024 to 6.9%.
The board of directors has decided a cash dividend of USD 0.37 per share for the first quarter 2025, in line with communication at the Capital Markets Update in February.
Expected total capital distribution for 2025 is USD 9 billion, including a share buy-back programme of up to USD 5 billion. The board has decided to initiate a second tranche of the share buy-back programme of up to USD 1.265 billion. The second tranche is subject to an authorisation from the company's annual general meeting 14 May 2025 and will commence after this. The tranche will end no later than 21 July 2025.
The first tranche of the share buy-back programme for 2025 was completed on 24 March 2025 with a total value of USD 1.2 billion.
All share buy-back amounts include shares to be redeemed by the Norwegian State.
Recent announcements and policy updates in the US regarding international trade have led to increased geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty.
Further, on 16 April a Director's Order was received from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management in the United States (BOEM), ordering a halt of all activities related to development of the Empire Wind 1 project.
We refer to Note 9 Subsequent events to the first quarter condensed interim financial statements for additional information.
The twelve-month average serious incident frequency (SIF) for the period ending 31 March 2025 was 0.28, a decrease from 2024 which ended at 0.30. This result represents the lowest frequency on record.
Equinor's absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from operated production (100% basis) were 2.7 million tonnes CO₂e in the first quarter of 2025, representing a reduction of 0.2 million tonnes CO₂e compared to the same period last year. This positive development is primarily driven by the implementation of electrification projects on the NCS.
Bacalhau FPSO
These forward-looking statements reflect current views about future events and are, by their nature, subject to significant risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. Deferral of production to create future value, gas off-take, timing of new capacity coming on stream and operational regularity and levels of industry product supply, demand and pricing represent the most significant risks related to the foregoing production guidance. Our future financial performance, including cash flow and liquidity, will be affected by geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions, changes in the regulatory and policy landscape, the development in realised prices, including price differentials, tolls and tariffs and other factors discussed elsewhere in the report. For further information, see section Forward-looking statements in the report.

In the first quarter of 2025 production from E&P Norway remained robust, but was lower than the strong deliveries in the same quarter last year. This was mainly due to natural decline on several fields, along with Sleipner B shut down since the incident in October 2024, and both planned and unplanned maintenance at Hammerfest LNG. The production decrease was similar for both gas and liquids.
The gas price increased significantly, while there was a smaller decrease in the liquids price, when comparing the first quarter of 2025 to the same quarter last year. The price development resulted in higher revenues, despite a lower production level.
Operating and administrative expenses increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year, mainly due to increased operation and maintenance cost following the Sleipner B fire and preparation for periodic maintenance at Hammerfest LNG, and a lower underlift effect. This was partially offset by the development in NOK/USD exchange rate and lower transportation tariffs.
Depreciation, amortisation and net impairments in the first quarter of 2025 was positively impacted by increased proved reserves from the annual update and the development in the NOK/USD exchange rate, partially offset by ramp up of new fields and fieldspecific investments.
The exploration activity in the first quarter of 2025 (6 wells) was at the same level as in the first quarter last year. Higher seismic cost and cost per well partially offset by higher capitalisation rate led to a minor increase in exploration expenses.
In the first quarter of 2025, net operating income was positively impacted by a gain of USD 491 million from the swap transaction with Petoro, which was completed on 1 January.
Additions to PP&E, Intangibles and equity accounted investments in the first quarter of 2025 increased, primarily due to the assets acquired in the swap transaction amounting to USD 1,086 million.

The divestment of assets in Azerbaijan and Nigeria drove a decrease in production in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter last year. Natural decline in several fields and a higher turnaround effect further contributed to the overall drop in the production levels. The decreased equity production was partially offset by contributions from new wells.
Production Sharing Agreements (PSA) effects were also reduced in the quarter, reflecting the impact of the same divestments.
Total revenue and other income decreased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year, mainly due to lower liquids prices. The impact of volume changes on revenues was minimal, as the lifted volumes were on the same level in both periods due to an overlift in the first quarter of 2025, compared to a large underlift in the same quarter of 2024.
Operating and administrative expenses increased, primarily due to the shift from a large underlift position last year to an overlift position this quarter. Additionally, higher activity and maintenance levels in Brazil contributed to the increase in operating and administrative expenses compared to the same period in 2024.
The cessation of depreciation for the UK assets Mariner and Buzzard, which were classified as held for sale at the end of 2024, drove the decline in depreciation this quarter compared to the same period in 2024.
Exploration expenses in the first quarter of 2025 were lower compared to the same period last year, when well costs related to the Bacalhau appraisal well in Brazil were expensed.
Net operating income for the first quarter of 2025 was positively impacted by a contingent receivable recorded as other income.
Additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted investments this quarter are on the same level as the same quarter last year. While the UK assets of Rosebank, Mariner and Buzzard are excluded from the additions in the quarter due to their classification as held for sale, this is offset by higher activity for the development projects in Brazil.

In the first quarter of 2025, E&P USA reported higher production compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by increased gas output from the Appalachia onshore assets, following the acquisition of additional interests in late 2024. This increase was further supported by higher activity in the Appalachia onshore asset. The increase was partially offset by lower production from certain US offshore assets due to downtime from workover activities and natural decline.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 benefited from elevated gas prices and increased gas production. The increased gas revenue was partially offset by lower liquids prices and liquids production compared to the prior year
Operating and administrative expenses increased in the first quarter of 2025, driven by additional workover expenditures for certain US offshore assets and higher transportation expenses due to increased production in the Appalachia onshore assets.
Depreciation and amortisation increased in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, driven by the acquisition of additional interests in Appalachia onshore assets. The increase was partially offset by lower production in the US offshore assets and proved reserves increases at the 2024 year end.

| Realised piped gas price US (USD/mmbtu) | 4.06 | 2.36 | 2.33 | 74 % |
Liquids sales volumes increased against previous quarter and same quarter of the previous year due to higher third-party volumes.
Gas sales decreased slightly compared to previous quarter primarily because of lower 3rd party sales and NCS gas production, partially offset by higher Equinor international gas production. The decrease in gas sales against the first quarter of 2024 was driven by lower NCS gas production, partially offset by higher Equinor international gas production.
Power generation has increased compared to previous quarter and same quarter previous year, primarily due to higher clean spark spread.
The realised European piped gas price increased compared to the previous quarter driven by high demand attributed to colder weather at the start of the quarter. Compared to the same quarter last year, the realised European piped gas price increased due to weather driven by increased demand and reduced supply of Russian gas flows through Ukraine.
The realised piped gas price in the US increased compared to both previous quarter and same quarter last year due to higher market prices driven by increased demand caused by low temperatures.
During the first quarter of 2025, Gas and Power contributed to adjusted operating income* mainly through optimisation of physical piped gas sales in Europe and in the US. The Crude, Products, and Liquids result was primarily driven by physical trading in crude, distillates and gasoline. Adjusted operating income* in the Other subsegment was negatively impacted this quarter by elevated costs associated with low-carbon development. This was mainly due to one-off drilling activities for future carbon storage.
Adjusted operating income* decreased compared to previous quarter. This is mainly due to a lower result from LNG trading in addition to reduced gains from geographical arbitrage within LPG and lower result from shipping optimisation.
Adjusted operating income* for the first quarter of 2025 was lower than same quarter last year across all sub-segments and mostly explained by reduced margins in gas, LNG and liquids trading .
Net operating income includes the net effect of fair value changes in derivatives and storages, changes in onerous provisions and operational storage value.

In the first quarter of 2025, total power generation from offshore wind farms was 0.39 TWh, primarily driven by production from Dudgeon, Sheringham Shoal and Arkona. Onshore renewables contributed an additional 0.31 TWh, mainly from plants in Brazil. Total generated volume decreased compared to the same quarter in 2024, mainly due to lower offshore wind production due to reduced wind conditions.
In the first quarter of 2025, adjusted total revenues and other income* decreased compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to the effects of lower offshore wind production.
Lower production from assets in operation, along with higher project development costs impacted net results from equity accounted investments.
A reduction in the level of business development activities in selected emerging markets contributed to a decrease in operating and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2025 when compared to the same quarter last year.
The adjusted operating loss* for the first quarter was lower than the same period of 2024, attributable to the decrease in total operating and administrative expenses.
Net operating loss for the first quarter of 2025 included the effects of a change in the fair value of contingent consideration and USD 146 million in impairments related to non-sanctioned offshore wind projects in the US. In comparison, the same period in 2024 included the effect of a USD 147 million net loss associated with the asset swap transaction with bp, involving offshore wind assets on the US Northeast Coast.
In the first quarter of 2025, USD 257 million of additions to PP&E, intangibles, and equity accounted investments related to onshore renewables and USD 523 million related to offshore wind projects. Offshore additions primarily related to projects in the US, UK and Europe. The increase in onshore investments was mainly driven by the acquisition of an onshore wind farm in southern Sweden.
On 16 April a Director's Order was received from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management in the United States (BOEM), ordering a halt of all activities related to development of the Empire Wind 1 project.

1) As from the first quarter 2025, cash flows related to collaterals for commodity derivative transactions are presented on a separate line within operating activities, Cash collaterals for commodity derivative transactions. In previous periods, these were included as part of Cash and cash equivalents. Comparative figures have been restated accordingly. See the restatement table in note 1 Organisation and basis of preparation.
2) This line item includes the acquisition of 10 per cent of the shareholding in Ørsted A/S for USD 2.5 billion in 2024.
Equinor Group (Equinor) consists of Equinor ASA and its subsidiaries. Equinor ASA is incorporated and domiciled in Norway and listed on the Oslo Børs (Norway) and the New York Stock Exchange (USA). The registered office address is Forusbeen 50, N-4035, Stavanger, Norway.
The objective of Equinor is to develop, produce and market various forms of energy and derived products and services, as well as other businesses. The activities may also be carried out through participation in or cooperation with other companies. Equinor Energy AS, a 100% owned operating subsidiary of Equinor ASA and owner of all of Equinor's oil and gas activities and net assets on the Norwegian continental shelf, is a co-obligor or guarantor of certain debt obligations of Equinor ASA.
Equinor's condensed interim financial statements for the first quarter of 2025 were authorised for issue by the board of directors on 29 April 2025.
These condensed interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union (EU). The condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required by IFRS® Accounting Standards for a complete set of financial statements and should
be read in conjunction with the Consolidated annual financial statements for 2024. IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU differs in certain respects from IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB, however the differences do not impact Equinor's financial statements for the periods presented.
Certain amounts in the comparable years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. As a result of rounding differences, numbers or percentages may not add up to the total.
The condensed interim financial statements are unaudited.
Except as described in section 'Change in accounting policy' below, the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of Equinor's consolidated annual financial statements as at, and for the year ended, 31 December 2024.
A description of the material accounting policies is included in Equinor's consolidated annual financial statements for 2024. When determining fair value, there have been no changes to the valuation techniques or models and Equinor applies the same sources of input and the same criteria for categorisation in the fair value hierarchy as disclosed in the Consolidated annual financial statements for 2024.
For information about IFRS Accounting Standards, amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards and IFRIC® Interpretations effective from 1 January 2025, that could affect the consolidated financial statements, please refer to note 2 in Equinor's consolidated annual financial statements for 2024. None of the amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards effective from 1 January 2025 has had a significant impact on the condensed interim financial statements. Equinor has not early adopted any IFRS Accounting Standards, amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards or IFRIC Interpretations issued but not yet effective.
With effect from Q1 2025, Equinor has changed the classification of cash collaterals for commodity derivative transactions in the Consolidated balance sheet from Cash and cash equivalents to Prepayments and financial receivables (current), with no impact on Total current assets. These collateral deposits are related to certain requirements set out by exchanges where Equinor is participating and have previously been referred to as restricted cash and cash equivalents. The reclassification is intended to better reflect the nature and purpose of the collateral deposits and to provide more relevant information to stakeholders.
The change also affects the presentation in the Consolidated statement of cash flows. With effect from Q1 2025, the cash flows related to these collateral deposits are included within Cash flows provided by operating activities on a new line-item named Cash collaterals for commodity derivative transactions.
The change has been retrospectively applied to comparative periods for consistency and comparability. The comparative numbers are restated in tables below.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Please refer to note 2 in Equinor's consolidated annual financial statements for 2024 for more information about accounting judgement and key sources of estimation uncertainty.

Equinor's operations are managed through operating segments identified on the basis of those components of Equinor that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, Equinor's Corporate Executive Officer (CEO). The reportable segments Exploration & Production Norway (E&P Norway), Exploration & Production International (E&P International), Exploration & Production USA (E&P USA), Marketing, Midstream & Processing (MMP) and Renewables (REN) correspond to the operating segments. The operating segments Projects, Drilling & Procurement (PDP), Technology, Digital & Innovation (TDI) and Corporate staff and functions are aggregated into the reportable segment Other based on materiality. The majority of the costs in PDP and TDI is allocated to the three Exploration & Production segments, MMP and REN.
The accounting policies of the reporting segments equal those applied in these condensed interim financial statements, except for the line-item Additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted investments in which movements related to changes in asset retirement obligations are excluded as well as provisions for onerous contracts which reflect only obligations towards group external parties. The measurement basis of segment profit is net operating income/(loss). Deferred tax assets, pension assets, non-current financial assets, total current assets and total liabilities are not allocated to the segments. Transactions between the segments, mainly from the sale of crude oil, gas, and related products, are performed at defined internal prices which have been derived from market prices. The transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

1) Increase is mainly due to weakening of USD versus NOK and acquisitions. For more information on acquisitions please see note 3.
On 1 January 2025, Equinor closed a transaction with Petoro to swap ownership interests in the Haltenbanken area. Equinor increased its ownership interests primarily in the Heidrun field (from 13.0% to 34.4%) and reduced its interests primarily in the Tyrihans field (from 58.8% to 36.3%) and the Johan Castberg field (from 50.0% to 46.3%). No cash consideration is involved. The purpose of the transaction is to align ownership interests in the licenses to maximise resource utilisation. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recognised in accordance with the principles in IFRS 3 Business Combinations within the E&P Norway segment, mainly as property, plant, and equipment (USD 610 million), goodwill (USD 476 million) and deferred tax liability (USD 381 million). The swap resulted in a gain of USD 491 million, reported as Other Income in the Consolidated statement of income.
On 5 December 2024, Equinor and Shell agreed to merge their UK upstream businesses and establish a joint venture. The parties will hold a 50% equity interest each. Selected UK North Sea upstream fields, associated licenses and infrastructure will be transferred by both parties to the joint venture, including Equinor's interests in Rosebank, Mariner and Buzzard. The joint venture will be accounted for under the equity method upon completion of the transaction. Completion of the transaction is subject to license partners' and regulatory approvals and is expected by the end of 2025. As of 31 March 2025, assets held for sale amounted to USD 7,113 million and liabilities directly associated with the assets held for sale amounted to USD 817 million. Equinor's UK upstream business is part of the E&P International segment.
2) Excluding deferred tax assets, pension assets and non-current financial assets. Non-current assets are attributed to country of operations.
When attributing the line item Revenues from contracts with customers for the first quarter 2025 to the country of the legal entity executing the sale, Norway and the USA accounted for 77% and 20%, respectively, of such revenues (78% and 18%, respectively, for the fourth quarter 2024).
For the first quarter 2024, Norway and the USA accounted for 79% and 18% of such revenues, respectively. Revenues from contracts with customers are mainly reflecting such revenues from the reporting segment MMP.

The effective reported tax rate of 70.4% for the first quarter of 2025 increased compared to 66.6% in first quarter 2024, mainly due to higher share of income from jurisdictions with high tax rates and the extension of the Energy Profits Levy in the UK. The increase was partially offset by the tax exempted gain from the swap with Petoro on the NCS, see note 3.
Equinor's estimated asset retirement obligations (ARO) have increased by approximately USD 1,3 billion to USD 12.3 billion at 31 March 2025 compared to year-end 2024, mainly due to currency effects (USD weakening versus NOK) and decrease in the discount rate. Changes in ARO are reflected within Property, plant and equipment and Provisions and other liabilities in the Consolidated balance sheet.
During the normal course of its business, Equinor is involved in legal and other proceedings, and several unresolved claims are currently outstanding. The ultimate liability or asset in respect of such litigation and claims cannot be determined at this time. Equinor has provided in its Condensed interim financial statements for probable liabilities related to litigation and claims based on the company's best judgement. Equinor does not expect that its financial position, results of operations or cash flows will be materially affected by the resolution of these legal proceedings.
CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES
On 29 April 2025, the board of directors resolved to declare a cash dividend for the first quarter of 2025 of USD 0.37 per share. The Equinor shares will trade ex-dividend 18 August 2025 on the Oslo Børs and 19 August for ADR holders on the New York Stock Exchange. Record date will be 19 August 2025 and payment date will be 29 August 2025.
Based on the authorisation from the annual general meeting on 14 May 2024, the board of directors has, on a quarterly basis, decided on share buy-back tranches. The 2025 programme is up to USD 5 billion, including shares to be redeemed from the Norwegian state. In February 2025, Equinor launched the first tranche of USD 1.2 billion including shares to be redeemed from the Norwegian state. The market execution of the first tranche of USD 397 million was completed on 24 March 2025.
The purpose of the share buy-back programme is to reduce the issued share capital of the company, and all shares repurchased in this first tranche in 2025 will be cancelled. According to an agreement between Equinor and the Norwegian State, a proportionate number of the Norwegian State's shares will be redeemed and cancelled at the annual general meeting in May 2025, ensuring that the State's ownership interest in Equinor remains unchanged at 67%.
On 29 April 2025, the Board of Directors decided to initiate a second share buy-back tranche of up to USD 1.265 billion for 2025, including shares to be redeemed from the Norwegian State. The second tranche is subject to approval at the general meeting and will end no later than 21 July 2025.

Recent announcements and policy updates in the US regarding international trade have led to increased geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. As the actual policy changes, both substance and duration, are still unknown, so are the implications for economic growth, demand for energy, supply costs, inflation, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The current situation is unclear and could drive development in different directions. Equinor is actively assessing the impact of these uncertainties; however, the resulting operational and economic effects on the company cannot be determined at this time. We refer to sensitivities disclosed in Note 14 Impairment to the 2024 annual report regarding illustrative impairment losses to be recognised following downward adjustments in Equinor's commodity price assumptions or a change in the discount rate used for impairment testing.
On 16 April, Empire Offshore Wind LLC (the company), a wholly owned subsidiary of Equinor ASA, received a Director's Order from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management in the United States (BOEM), ordering the company to halt all activities on the outer continental shelf until BOEM has completed its review of the Empire Wind 1 project's permit. Upon receipt of the order, immediate steps were taken by the company and its contractors to initiate suspension of relevant marine activities, ensuring the safety of workers and the environment.
Empire Offshore Wind LLC has validly secured all necessary federal and state permits for its Empire Wind 1 project, and the Director's Order is in Equinor's opinion unlawful. The company is seeking to engage with relevant authorities to clarify this matter and is considering its legal remedies.
On 31 March 2025, the gross book value of Equinor's assets related to the Empire Wind projects was around USD 2.5 billion, including South Brooklyn Marine Terminal. Further, various companies within the Equinor group have individual exposures related to the Empire Wind 1 project, including guarantees and termination fees towards suppliers, currently aggregating to a gross exposure of USD 1.5 – 2.0 billion, before taking into account tax and any other potential reductions and limitations including from negotiations, settlements, legal actions and damages.
In addition, the total amount drawn under the project finance term loan facility per 31 March 2025 was USD 1.5 billion. In the event the project is terminated, the amount drawn will be repaid to the project finance lenders.
As part of the ongoing optimisation of Equinor's international upstream portfolio, Equinor has certain interests that have met the requirements for held for sale classification after the reporting period. The interests expected to be divested through a sales transaction are included in the E&P International segment, and the classification as held for sale is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated income statement.

Non-GAAP financial measures are defined as numerical measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP (i.e., IFRS Accounting Standards in the case of Equinor). The following financial measures included in this report may be considered non-GAAP financial measures:
Adjusted operating income is based on net operating income/ (loss) and adjusts for certain items affecting the income for the period to separate out effects that management considers may not be well correlated to Equinor's underlying operational performance in the individual reporting period. Management believes adjusted operating income provides an indication of Equinor's underlying operational performance and facilitates comparison of operational trends between periods.
Adjusted operating income after tax equals adjusted operating income less tax on adjusted operating income. Tax on adjusted operating income is computed by adjusting the income tax for tax effects of adjustments made to net operating income. The tax rate applied is the tax rate applicable to each adjusting item and tax regime, adjusted for certain foreign currency effects as well as effects of specific changes to deferred tax assets. Management believes adjusted operating income after tax provides an indication of Equinor's underlying operational performance after tax and facilitates comparisons of operational trends after tax between periods as it reflects the tax charge associated with operational performance excluding the impact of financing. Tax on adjusted operating income should not be considered indicative of the amount of current or total tax expense (or taxes payable) for the period. Adjusted net income is based on net income/(loss) and provides additional transparency to Equinor's underlying financial performance by also including net financial items and the associated tax effects. This measure includes adjustments made to arrive at adjusted operating income after tax, in addition to specific adjustments related to net financial items and related tax effects, as well as certain adjustments to income tax as described below. Management believes this measure provides an indication of Equinor's underlying financial performance including the impact from financing and facilitates comparison of trends between periods.
computed by dividing Adjusted net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Earnings per share is a metric that is frequently used by investors, analysts and other parties to assess a company's profitability per share. Management believes this measure provides an indication of Equinor's underlying financial performance including the impact from financing and facilitates comparison of trends between periods.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented above are supplementary measures and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for net operating income/(loss), net income/(loss) and earnings per share, which are the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measures. The reconciliation tables later in this report reconcile the above non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure or measures.
There are material limitations associated with the above measures compared with the IFRS Accounting Standards measures, as these non-GAAP measures do not include all the items of revenues/ gains or expenses/losses of Equinor that are required to evaluate its profitability on an overall basis. The non-GAAP measures are only intended to be indicative of the underlying developments in trends of our ongoing operations.
• Changes in fair value of derivatives: In the ordinary course of business, Equinor enters into commodity derivative contracts to manage the price risk exposure relating to future sale and purchase contracts. These commodity derivatives are measured at fair value at each reporting date, with the movements in fair value recognised in the income statement. By contrast, the related sale and purchase contracts are not recognised until the transaction occurs resulting in timing differences. Therefore, with effect from the first quarter of 2023, the unrealised movements in the fair value of these commodity derivative contracts are excluded from adjusted operating income and deferred until the time of the physical delivery to minimise the effect of these timing differences. Further, embedded derivatives within certain gas contracts and contingent consideration related to historical divestments are carried at fair value. Any accounting impacts resulting from such changes in fair value are also excluded from adjusted operating income, as these fluctuations are not indicative of the underlying performance of the business.
CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES
• bank balances are mainly due to a large part of Equinor's operations having a functional currency different from USD, and these effects are offset within equity as other comprehensive income arising on translation from functional currency to presentation currency USD. These currency effects increase volatility in financial performance, which does not reflect Equinor's underlying financial performance. Management believes that these adjustments remove periodic fluctuations in Equinor's adjusted net income.
Adjustments to made to arrive at adjusted operating income and adjusted net income listed below are similarly applied to net income/(loss) from equity accounted investments when relevant.
currency, which is different from the currency in which the taxable income is measured (tax currency). Income tax effects arising only when calculating income tax in the functional currency USD, that are not part of the tax calculation in the tax currency, are adjusted for. Management believes this better aligns the effective tax rate in functional currency with the statutory tax rate in the period.
Net debt to capital employed ratio – In Equinor's view, net debt ratios provide a more informative picture of Equinor's financial strength than gross interest-bearing financial debt. Three different net debt to capital ratios are presented in this report: 1) net debt to capital employed, 2) net debt to capital employed adjusted, including lease liabilities, and 3) net debt to capital employed adjusted. These calculations are all based on Equinor's gross interestbearing financial liabilities as recorded in the Consolidated balance sheet and exclude cash, cash equivalents and current financial investments. The following adjustments are made in calculating the net debt to capital employed adjusted, including lease liabilities ratio and the net debt to capital employed adjusted ratio: financial investments held in Equinor Insurance AS (classified as Current financial investments in the Consolidated balance sheet) are treated as non-cash and excluded from the calculation of these non-GAAP measures, as these investments are not readily available for the group to meet short term commitments. These adjustments result in a higher net debt figure and in Equinor's view provides a more prudent measure of the net debt to capital employed ratio than would be the case without such exclusions. Additionally, lease liabilities are further excluded in calculating the net debt to capital employed adjusted ratio. The table Calculation of capital employed and net debt to capital employed ratio later in this report details the
calculations for these non-GAAP measures and
reconciles them with the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards financial measure or measures.
Organic capital expenditures (organic investments/ capex) – Capital expenditures is defined as Additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted investments, which excludes assets held for sale, as presented in note 2 Segments to the Condensed interim financial statements. Organic capital expenditures are capital expenditures excluding expenditures related to acquisitions, leased assets and other investments with significantly different cash flow patterns. Equinor believes this measure gives stakeholders relevant information to understand the company's investments in maintaining and developing its assets. Forward-looking organic capital expenditures included in this report are not reconcilable to its most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure without unreasonable efforts, because the amounts excluded from such IFRS Accounting Standards measure to determine organic capital expenditures cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty.
