You should not place undue reliance on these forward- looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons.

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. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. including levels of industry product supply. demand and pricing; price and availability of alternative fuels; currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations; the political and economic policies of Norway and other oil-producing countries; EU developments; general economic conditions; political and social stability and economic growth in relevant areas of the world global political events and actions. including war. political hostilities and terrorism; economic sanctions. security breaches; changes or uncertainty in or non-compliance with laws and governmental regulations; the timing of bringing new fields or wells on stream; an inability to exploit growth or investment

opportunities; material differences from reserves estimates; unsuccessful drilling; an inability to find and develop reserves; ineffectiveness of crisis management systems; adverse changes in tax regimes; the development and use of new technology; geological or technical difficulties; operational problems; operator error; inadequate insurance coverage; the lack of necessary transportation infrastructure when a field is in a remote location and other transportation problems; the actions of competitors; the actions of field partners; the actions of governments (including the Norwegian state as majority shareholder); counterparty defaults; natural disasters and adverse weather conditions. climate change. and other changes to business conditions; an inability to attract and retain personnel; relevant governmental approvals; labour relations and industrial actions by workers and other factors discussed elsewhere in this report. Additional information. including information on factors that may affect Equinor·s business. is contained in Equinor·s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31. 2018. filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (including section 2.11 Risk review - Risk factors thereof) Equinor·s 2018 Annual Report and Form 20-F is available at Equinor·s website www.equinor.com Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable. we cannot assure you that our future results. level of activity, performance or achievements will meet these expectations. Moreover. neither we nor any other person assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these forwardlooking statements.

The achievement of Equinor· s net carbon intensity ambition depends. in part. on broader societal shifts in consumer demands and technological advancements. each of which are beyond Equinor's control. Should society's demands and technological innovation not shift in parallel with Equinor· s pursuit of significant greenhouse gas emission reductions. Equinor· s ability to meet its climate ambitions will be impaired.

Equinor is including the emissions from a customer· s product use in its calculation of its net carbon intensity solely as a means to (i) more accurately evaluate the emission lifecycle of what we produce and (ii) to respond to the potential business opportunities arising from shifting consumer demands. Including these emissions in the calculation should in no way be construed as an acceptance by Equinor of responsibility for the emissions caused by such use.
