Quarter Analysis1

Income attributable to Shell plc shareholders was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes the impact of identified items and a current cost of supplies adjustment of $0.6 billion.

Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first quarter 2026, reflected higher realised prices, higher LNG trading and optimisation, favourable tax movements, higher Chemicals margins and higher crude and oil products trading and optimisation. These were partly offset by lower volumes, mainly due to the impact of the Middle East conflict on Qatari volumes, and lower Lubricants margins.

Identified items in the second quarter 2026 amounted to a net gain of $0.4 billion and included favourable movements due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives, gains on the sale of assets and impairment charges. This compares with identified items in the first quarter 2026 which amounted to a net loss of $2.4 billion.

Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter 2026 was $21.4 billion, and primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA, working capital inflows of $3.4 billion and net cash inflows related to the timing impact of payments for emission certificates and biofuel programmes of $1.3 billion, partly offset by tax payments of $2.9 billion.

Cash flow from investing activities for the second quarter 2026 was an outflow of $3.9 billion, and included cash capital expenditure of $4.2 billion, partly offset by divestment proceeds of $0.5 billion.

Net debt and Gearing: At the end of the second quarter 2026, net debt was $41.8 billion, compared with $52.6 billion at the end of the first quarter 2026. This reflects free cash flow of $17.5 billion, partly offset by share buybacks of $3.0 billion, cash dividends paid to Shell plc shareholders of $2.2 billion and interest payments of $1.2 billion. Gearing was 18.7% at the end of the second quarter 2026, compared with 23.2% at the end of the first quarter 2026, mainly driven by lower net debt and favourable equity movements.

Shareholder distributions: Total shareholder distributions in the quarter amounted to $5.2 billion, comprising repurchases of shares of $3.0 billion and cash dividends paid to Shell plc shareholders of $2.2 billion. Dividends declared to Shell plc shareholders for the second quarter 2026 amount to $0.3906 per share. In connection with its agreement to acquire ARC Resources Ltd. (“ARC”), Shell plc temporarily suspended the $3.0 billion share buyback programme announced in the first quarter 2026 results announcement and, as a result, $1.8 billion of the programme was completed. Today, Shell announces the commencement of a share buyback programme which is expected to be completed by the third quarter 2026 results announcement, comprising $3.0 billion of new share buybacks, plus $1.2 billion of share buybacks that were not undertaken during the previous programme.

 

Half Year Analysis1

Income attributable to Shell plc shareholders was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes the impact of identified items and a current cost of supplies adjustment of $1.8 billion.

Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first half 2025, reflected higher trading and optimisation, higher realised liquids and gas prices, higher Refining margins and higher Chemicals margins, partly offset by higher depreciation, depletion and amortisation expenses, unfavourable tax movements and higher operating expenses.

Identified items in the first half 2026 amounted to a net loss of $2.0 billion and included unfavourable movements due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives, net impairment charges and reversals and gains on the disposal of assets. This compares with identified items in the first half 2025 which amounted to a net loss of $1.2 billion.

Our continued focus on performance, discipline and simplification has helped deliver $5.8 billion of pre-tax structural cost reductions2 since 2022. Of these reductions, $0.7 billion was delivered in the first half 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

Cash flow from operating activities for the first half 2026 was $27.5 billion, and primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA, net cash inflows related to the timing impact of payments for emission certificates and biofuel programmes of $2.6 billion and the cost of supplies adjustment of $2.5 billion (before tax). These were partly offset by working capital outflows of $7.7 billion and tax payments of $5.2 billion.

Cash flow from investing activities for the first half 2026 was an outflow of $7.0 billion and included cash capital expenditure of $8.4 billion. This was partly offset by divestment proceeds of $0.8 billion and interest received of $0.7 billion.

PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENTS

 

Integrated Gas

In April 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire ARC Resources Ltd. (“ARC”), an energy company focused on the Montney shale basin in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada. Under the terms of the agreement, ARC’s shareholders will receive CAD 8.20 in cash and 0.40247 ordinary shares of Shell plc for each ARC share, resulting in an equity value of approximately USD 13.6 billion.1 The boards of both companies have unanimously supported the transaction and the ARC shareholders have approved the transaction, with approximately 99.54% of the votes cast by ARC shareholders (present online or represented by proxy at the ARC shareholder meeting) in favour of the arrangement. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026 subject to remaining regulatory approval.

 

Upstream

In June 2026, we agreed to sell our 50% non-operated working interest in the Na Kika platform and associated fields in the Gulf of America, together with our 100%-owned Coulomb tieback, for total consideration of $1.7 billion, subject to customary adjustments and certain contingent payments. The transaction has an effective date of July 1, 2025, and is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.

 

Marketing

On June 30, 2026, we completed the previously announced sale of Jiffy Lube International to an affiliate of Monomoy Capital Partners (Monomoy) for $1.3 billion. As part of the transaction, we retain a long-term lubricants supply agreement with Monomoy.

Quarter Analysis1

Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes the impact of identified items.

Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first quarter 2026, reflected the combined effect of higher contributions from trading and optimisation and higher realised prices (increase of $1,359 million), partly offset by lower volumes (decrease of $907 million).

Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter 2026 was primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA and working capital inflows of $883 million. These were partly offset by tax payments of $537 million.

Total oil and gas production, compared with the first quarter 2026, decreased by 31%, mainly due to the impact of the Middle East conflict on Qatari volumes. LNG liquefaction volumes decreased by 2%, mainly due to the Middle East conflict impacting Qatari volumes, and higher planned maintenance across the portfolio, partly offset by strong performance in Australia and Canada.

 

Half Year Analysis1

Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes the impact of identified items.

Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first half 2025, reflected the combined effect of higher contributions from trading and optimisation and higher realised prices (increase of $1,650 million), partly offset by lower volumes (decrease of $598 million), unfavourable tax movements ($334 million) and higher operating expenses (increase of $304 million).

Identified items in the first half 2026 included unfavourable movements of $648 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives, partly offset by gains of $145 million from the sale of assets. These unfavourable movements and gains compare with the first half 2025 which included favourable movements of $817 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives and impairment charges of $423 million. As part of Shell's normal business, commodity derivative contracts are entered into as hedges for mitigation of economic exposures on future purchases, sales and inventory.

Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

Quarter Analysis1

Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes the impact of identified items and a current cost of supplies adjustment of $261 million.

Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first quarter 2026, reflected lower Marketing margins (decrease of $268 million), including lower trading and optimisation and lower Lubricants margins, due to lower volumes and unit margins, partly offset by higher Mobility unit margins. These unfavourable margin movements were offset by comparatively favourable tax movements ($288 million).

Identified items in the second quarter 2026 included gains of $282 million from the disposal of assets, mainly related to the divestment of Jiffy Lube International, and unfavourable movements of $78 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives. As part of Shell's normal business, commodity derivative contracts are entered into as hedges for mitigation of economic exposures on future purchases, sales and inventory. These gains and unfavourable movements compare with the first quarter 2026, which included net impairment charges and reversals of $182 million and favourable movements of $73 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives.

Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter 2026 was primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA, net cash inflows related to the timing impact of payments for emission certificates and biofuel programmes of $658 million and the cost of supplies adjustment of $346 million (before tax). These were partly offset by working capital outflows of $279 million and tax payments of $107 million.

Marketing sales volumes (comprising hydrocarbon sales), compared with the first quarter 2026, decreased mainly due to market impacts from the Middle East conflict.

1.Physical power sales to third parties; excluding financial trades and physical trade with brokers, investors, financial institutions, trading platforms, and wholesale traders.

2.Physical natural gas sales to third parties; excluding financial trades and physical trade with brokers, investors, financial institutions, trading platforms, and wholesale traders. Excluding sales of natural gas by other segments and LNG sales.

Renewables and Energy Solutions encompasses renewable power generation, marketing, trading, and optimisation of power and pipeline gas. It also includes hydrogen production, commercial carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs and carbon credits. The business invests in nature-based projects that compensate for carbon emissions and Shell Ventures, which invests in or works with start-ups and other early-stage businesses to help them scale up and grow.

Quarter Analysis1

Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes the impact of identified items.

Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first quarter 2026, reflected lower margins (decrease of $265 million), mainly from trading and optimisation.

Most Renewables and Energy Solutions activities were loss-making in the second quarter 2026, these were more than offset by positive Adjusted Earnings from trading and optimisation and energy marketing.

Identified items in the second quarter 2026 included impairment charges of $536 million, mainly related to renewable generation assets in Asia and Europe, and unfavourable movements of $146 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives. As part of Shell's normal business, commodity derivative contracts are entered into as hedges for mitigation of economic exposures on future purchases, sales and inventory. These charges and unfavourable movements compare with the first quarter 2026, which included favourable movements of $189 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives.

Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter 2026 was primarily driven by net cash outflows related to derivatives of $1,025 million, partly offset by working capital inflows of $523 million and Adjusted EBITDA.

 

Half Year Analysis1

Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes the impact of identified items.

Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first half 2025, reflected higher margins (increase of $356 million), mainly from trading and optimisation, and lower operating expenses (decrease of $56 million).

Most Renewables and Energy Solutions activities were loss-making for the first half 2026, these were more than offset by positive Adjusted Earnings from trading and optimisation.

Identified items in the first half 2026 included impairment charges of $565 million, mainly related to renewable generation assets in Asia and Europe. These charges compare with the first half 2025 which included unfavourable movements of $196 million relating to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives and impairment losses of $167 million. As part of Shell's normal business, commodity derivative contracts are entered into as hedges for mitigation of economic exposures on future purchases, sales and inventory.

Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Basis of preparation


 

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Shell plc (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Shell”) have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued

by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and adopted by the UK, and on the basis of the same accounting principles as those used in the Company's Annual Report and Accounts (pages 229 to 306) for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales and as filed with the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (the Netherlands) and Form 20-F (pages 214 to 290) for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with these filings.

The financial information presented in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006 (“the Act”). Statutory accounts for the year ended December 31, 2025, were published in Shell's Annual Report and Accounts, a copy of which was delivered to the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales. The auditor's report on those accounts was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not contain a statement under sections 498(2) or 498(3) of the Act.

Going Concern

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption over the period to December 31, 2027 (the ‘going concern period’), management have stress tested Shell’s most recent financial projections to incorporate a range of potential future outcomes by considering Shell’s principal risks, potential downside pressures on commodity prices and long-term demand, and potential cash preservation measures. This assessment confirmed that Shell has adequate cash, other liquid resources and undrawn credit facilities to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due in order to continue its operations during the going concern period. Therefore, the Directors consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

Key accounting considerations, significant judgements and estimates

Future long-term commodity price assumptions, which represent a significant estimate, were subject to change in the second quarter 2026 (see Note 7). Noting continued volatility in markets, price assumptions remain under review.


 

The discount rates applied for impairment testing and the discount rate applied to provisions are reviewed on a regular basis. These discount rates applied in the first half year of 2026 remain unchanged compared with 2025.


 

Changes to IFRS not yet adopted

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements ("IFRS 18")

IFRS 18 will be adopted as from January 1, 2027. IFRS 18 will have no impact on recognition and measurement. From Shell's impact assessment, it has concluded that the impact will be limited to disclosure and presentation in the Consolidated Financial Statements. For Shell, the primary change will be the reclassification of income and expenses into the operating, investing and financing categories respectively within the Consolidated Statement of Income. In addition, dividends received from joint ventures and associates will be reclassified in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows from cash flow from operating activities to cash flow from investing activities, which will impact Cash flow from operations.


 

 

2. Segment information


 

Segment earnings are presented on an Adjusted Earnings basis (Adjusted Earnings), which is the earnings measure used by the Chief Executive Officer, who serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker, for the purposes of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. This aligns with Shell's focus on performance, discipline and simplification.

The Adjusted Earnings measure is presented on a current cost of supplies (CCS) basis and aims to facilitate a comparative understanding of Shell's financial performance from period to period by removing the effects of oil price changes on inventory carrying amounts and removing the effects of identified items. Identified items are in some cases driven by external factors and may, either individually or collectively, hinder the comparative understanding of Shell's financial results from period to period.

Identified Items

The objective of identified items is to exclude material impacts1 on net income/loss arising from transactions which are typically outside the control of management and are unusual in nature (e.g., infrequent or non-recurring events) or that result in a misalignment between accounting and economic outcomes. Certain transactions that are generally excluded from underlying results within the industry may also be classified as identified items.

Identified items comprise divestment gains and losses, impairment losses and reversals, redundancy and restructuring, fair value accounting effects on commodity derivatives and certain gas contracts, the impact of exchange rate movements and inflationary adjustments on certain deferred tax balances, and other items.

1. For the purpose of identification of items in certain categories materiality thresholds are applied.

1.Fair value accounting of commodity derivatives and certain gas contracts: In the ordinary course of business, Shell enters into contracts to supply or purchase oil and gas products, as well as power and environmental products. Shell also enters into contracts for tolling, pipeline and storage capacity. Derivative contracts are entered into for mitigation of resulting economic exposures (generally price exposure) and these derivative contracts are carried at period-end market price (fair value), with movements in fair value recognised in income for the period. Supply and purchase contracts entered into for operational purposes, as well as contracts for tolling, pipeline and storage capacity, are, by contrast, recognised when the transaction occurs; furthermore, inventory is carried at historical cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. As a consequence, accounting mismatches occur because: (a) the supply or purchase transaction is recognised in a different period; or (b) the inventory is measured on a different basis. In addition, certain contracts are, due to pricing or delivery conditions, deemed to contain embedded derivatives or written options and are also required to be carried at fair value even though they are entered into for operational purposes. The accounting impacts are reported as identified items.

2.Other identified items represent other credits or charges that based on Shell management's assessment hinder the comparative understanding of Shell's financial results from period to period.

3.Impact of exchange rate movements and inflationary adjustments on tax balances represents the impact on tax balances of exchange rate movements and inflationary adjustments arising on: (a) the conversion to dollars of the local currency tax base of non-monetary assets and liabilities, as well as recognised tax losses (this primarily impacts the Integrated Gas and Upstream segments); and (b) the conversion of dollar-denominated inter-segment loans to local currency, leading to taxable exchange rate gains or losses (this primarily impacts the Corporate segment).

The merger reserve and share premium reserve were established as a consequence of Shell plc (formerly Royal Dutch Shell plc) becoming the single parent company of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and The “Shell” Transport and Trading Company, p.l.c., now The Shell Transport and Trading Company Limited, in 2005. The merger reserve increased in 2016 following the issuance of shares for the acquisition of BG Group plc. The capital redemption reserve was established in connection with repurchases of shares of Shell plc. The share plan reserve is in respect of equity-settled share-based compensation plans.

 

6. Derivative financial instruments and debt excluding lease liabilities

As disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, presented in the Annual Report and Accounts and Form 20-F for that year, Shell is exposed to the risks of changes in fair value of its financial assets and liabilities. The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values at June 30, 2026, are consistent with those used in the year ended December 31, 2025, though the carrying amounts of derivative financial instruments have changed since that date. The movement of the derivative financial instruments between December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026 is an increase of $373 million for the current assets and an increase of $1,561 million for the current liabilities.

As required by IAS 12 Income Taxes, Shell has applied the exception to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.

On July 13, 2026, the UK Government published draft tax legislation that would exempt foreign permanent establishments from UK taxation, potentially limiting the use of foreign tax attributes against UK profits. Shell is monitoring the development of the draft legislation.

In June 2026, Shell's 44% joint venture Raizen filed its restructuring plan which remains subject to court approval. The restructuring plan contemplates a conversion of debt into equity, which would dilute Shell's ownership interest in Raizen, and a capital injection by Shell of BRL3.5 billion ($685 million). The capital injection would only take place after all conditions precedent have been satisfied. If all conditions precedent are not satisfied or waived by March 31, 2027, subject to a one-time extension of up to six months, the restructuring plan will automatically terminate.

9. Post-balance sheet events

On July 14, 2026, ARC Resources Ltd. ("ARC") shareholders voted in favour of the previously announced acquisition by Shell. Under the terms of the agreement, ARC’s shareholders will receive CAD8.20 in cash and 0.40247 ordinary shares of Shell plc for each ARC share, resulting in an equity value of approximately USD13.6 billion, based on Shell’s closing share price at April 24, 2026 of GBP33.08 and GBP:CAD exchange ratio of 1.8480. The boards of both companies have unanimously supported the transaction, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to remaining regulatory approval.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE (NON-GAAP) MEASURES

 

A. Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Cash flow from operating activities

The “Adjusted Earnings” measure is presented on a current cost of supplies basis and aims to facilitate a comparative understanding of Shell’s financial performance from period to period by removing the effects of oil price changes on inventory carrying amounts and removing the effects of identified items. These items are in some cases driven by external factors and may, either individually or collectively, hinder the comparative understanding of Shell’s financial results from period to period. This measure excludes earnings attributable to non-controlling interest when presenting the total Shell Group result but includes this item when presenting individual segment Adjusted Earnings as set out in the table below.

See Note 2 “Segment information” for the reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings.

We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as “Income/(loss) for the period” adjusted for current cost of supplies; identified items; tax charge/(credit); depreciation, amortisation and depletion; exploration well write-offs and net interest expense. All items include the non-controlling interest component. Management uses this measure to evaluate Shell's performance in the period and over time.

Identified items

The objective of identified items is to exclude material impacts1 on net income/loss arising from transactions which are typically outside the control of management and are unusual in nature (e.g., infrequent or non-recurring events) or that result in a misalignment between accounting and economic outcomes. Certain transactions that are generally excluded from underlying results within the industry may also be classified as identified items.



         Page 36



   
 
SHELL PLC
2nd QUARTER 2026 AND HALF YEAR UNAUDITED RESULTS

    

Identified items comprise divestment gains and losses, impairment losses and reversals, redundancy and restructuring, fair value accounting effects on commodity derivatives and certain gas contracts, the impact of exchange rate movements and inflationary adjustments on certain deferred tax balances, and other items.

See Note 2 “Segment information” for details.

1. For the purpose of identification of items in certain categories materiality thresholds are applied.

 

B. Adjusted Earnings per share

Adjusted Earnings per share is calculated as Adjusted Earnings (see Reference A), divided by the weighted average number of shares used as the basis for basic earnings per share (see Note 3).

 

C. Cash capital expenditure

Cash capital expenditure represents cash spent on maintaining and developing assets as well as on investments in the period. Management regularly monitors this measure as a key lever to delivering sustainable cash flows. Cash capital expenditure is the sum of the following lines from the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows: Capital expenditure, Investments in joint ventures and associates and Investments in equity securities.

See Note 2 “Segment information” for the reconciliation of cash capital expenditure.

 

D. Capital employed and Return on average capital employed

Return on average capital employed ("ROACE") measures the efficiency of Shell’s utilisation of the capital that it employs.

The measure refers to Capital employed which consists of total equity, current debt, and non-current debt reduced by cash and cash equivalents.

In this calculation, the sum of Adjusted Earnings (see Reference A) plus non-controlling interest (NCI) excluding identified items for the current and previous three quarters, adjusted for after-tax interest expense and after-tax interest income, is expressed as a percentage of the average capital employed excluding cash and cash equivalents for the same period.

E. Net debt and gearing

Net debt is defined as the sum of current and non-current debt, less cash and cash equivalents, adjusted for the fair value of derivative financial instruments used to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate risk relating to debt, and associated collateral balances. Management considers this adjustment useful because it reduces the volatility of net debt caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates, and eliminates the potential impact of related collateral payments or receipts. Debt-related derivative financial instruments are a subset of the derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities presented on the balance sheet. Collateral balances are reported under “Trade and other receivables” or “Trade and other payables” as appropriate.

Gearing is a measure of Shell's capital structure and is defined as net debt as a percentage of total capital (net debt plus total equity).

Underlying operating expenses

Underlying operating expenses is a measure aimed at facilitating a comparative understanding of performance from period to period by removing the effects of identified items, which, either individually or collectively, can cause volatility, in some cases driven by external factors.

G. Free cash flow and Organic free cash flow

Free cash flow is used to evaluate cash available for financing activities, including dividend payments and debt servicing, after investment in maintaining and growing the business. It is defined as the sum of “Cash flow from operating activities” and “Cash flow from investing activities”.

Cash flows from acquisition and divestment activities are removed from Free cash flow to arrive at the Organic free cash flow, a measure used by management to evaluate the generation of free cash flow without these activities.

H. Cash flow from operating activities excluding working capital movements

Working capital movements are defined as the sum of the following items in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:

(i) (increase)/decrease in inventories, (ii) (increase)/decrease in current receivables, and (iii) increase/(decrease) in current payables.

Cash flow from operating activities excluding working capital movements is a measure used by Shell to analyse its operating cash generation over time excluding the timing effects of changes in inventories and operating receivables and payables from period to period.

J. Structural cost reduction*

The structural cost reduction target is used for the purpose of demonstrating how management drives cost discipline across the entire organisation, simplifying our processes and portfolio, and streamlining the way we work.

Structural cost reduction describes the decrease in underlying operating expenses as a result of operational efficiencies, divestments, workforce reductions and other cost-saving measures that are expected to be sustainable compared with 2022 levels.

The total change between periods in underlying operating expenses will reflect both structural cost reductions and other changes in spend, including market factors, such as inflation and foreign exchange impacts, as well as changes in activity levels and costs associated with new operations.

Structural cost reductions are stewarded internally to support management's oversight of spending over time. 2028 target reflects annualised saving achieved by end-2028.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The principal risks and uncertainties affecting Shell are described in the Risk management and risk factors section of the Annual Report and Accounts (Risk Factors 1-9 on pages 125 to 135) and Form 20-F (Risk Factors 1-10 on pages 23 to 32) for the year ended December 31, 2025 and are summarised below. There are no material changes expected in those Risk Factors for the remaining six months of the financial year.

1.Portfolio risks

We are exposed to risks that could adversely affect the resilience of our overall portfolio of businesses. These include external risks such as macroeconomic risks, including fluctuating commodity prices, competitive forces and political, geopolitical, legal and fiscal developments. Our future performance depends on the successful development and deployment of new technologies that provide new products and solutions. In addition, our future hydrocarbon production depends on the delivery of integrated projects and our ability to replace proved oil and gas reserves. Many of our major projects and operations are conducted in joint arrangements or with associates, which could reduce our degree of control and our ability to identify and manage risks.

2.Climate change and the energy transition

Climate change and the energy transition pose multiple risks to Shell, including declines in the demand for and prices of our products, commercial risks from growing our low-carbon business, and adverse litigation and regulatory developments. The physical impacts of climate change could also adversely affect our assets and supply chains.

3.Financial risks

We are exposed to treasury risks, including liquidity risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and credit risk. We are affected by the global macroeconomic environment and the conditions of financial markets. These, and changes to certain demographic factors, also impact our pension assets and liabilities.

4.Trading risks

Our trading operations are exposed to market risks which cannot be fully mitigated and could lead to significant financial losses. Our trading entities are also exposed to regulatory and conduct risks, which could expose us to regulatory fines if the risks materialise.

5.Health, safety, security and the environment

The nature of our operations exposes us, and the communities in which we work, to a wide range of health, safety, security and environment risks.

6.Information technology and cybersecurity risks

We rely heavily on information technology systems in our operations, which have been, and could continue to be, impacted by cyber security incidents. In addition, if we fail to harness advancements in digital technologies, we may become less efficient and competitive, hindering our ability to execute our strategy.

7.Litigation and regulatory compliance

Violations of laws carry fines and could expose us and/or our employees to criminal sanctions and civil suits. We have faced, and continue to face, the risk of litigation and disputes worldwide.

8.Reputation and risks to our licence to operate

An erosion of our business reputation could have a material adverse effect on our brand, our ability to secure new hydrocarbon or low-carbon opportunities, our ability to access capital markets, attract and retain people, and our licence to operate.

9.Our people and culture

The successful delivery of our strategy and achieving our vision are dependent on our people and on a culture that aligns to our goals and reflects the changes we need to make as part of the energy transition.


 

10. Other (generally applicable to an investment in securities)

The Company's Articles of Association determine the jurisdiction for shareholder disputes. This could limit shareholder remedies.

2026 PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENTS

Integrated Gas

In April 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire ARC Resources Ltd. (“ARC”), an energy company focused on the Montney shale basin in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada. Under the terms of the agreement, ARC’s shareholders will receive CAD 8.20 in cash and 0.40247 ordinary shares of Shell plc for each ARC share, resulting in an equity value of approximately USD 13.6 billion.1 The boards of both companies have unanimously supported the transaction and the ARC shareholders have approved the transaction, with approximately 99.54% of the votes cast by ARC shareholders (present online or represented by proxy at the ARC shareholder meeting) in favour of the arrangement. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026 subject to remaining regulatory approval.

Upstream

In June 2026, we agreed to sell our 50% non-operated working interest in the Na Kika platform and associated fields in the Gulf of America, together with our 100%-owned Coulomb tieback, for total consideration of $1.7 billion, subject to customary adjustments and certain contingent payments. The transaction has an effective date of July 1, 2025, and is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.

Marketing

On June 30, 2026, we completed the previously announced sale of Jiffy Lube International to an affiliate of Monomoy Capital Partners (Monomoy) for $1.3 billion. As part of the transaction, we retain a long-term lubricants supply agreement with Monomoy.

Renewables and Energy Solutions

In July 2026, we agreed to sell 100% of Solenergi Power Private Limited, which includes the Sprng Energy group of companies, to Aditya Birla Renewables Limited for $1.8 billion. The transaction is expected to complete by the end of 2026, subject to regulatory approval and closing conditions.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO SHELL PLC

Conclusion

We have been engaged by Shell plc to review the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements ("Interim Financial Statements") in the half year unaudited results ("half yearly financial report") for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Income, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Notes 1 to 9. We have read the other information contained in the half yearly financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the Interim Financial Statements.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim Financial Statements in the half yearly financial report for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ("ISRE") 2410 (UK), "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" (ISRE) issued by the Financial Reporting Council. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

As disclosed in Note 1, Shell plc's annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards. The Interim Financial Statements included in the half yearly financial report have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

Conclusions Relating to Going Concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis of Conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that management have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that management have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with this ISRE, however future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

Responsibilities of the Directors

The Directors are responsible for preparing the half yearly financial report in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority.

In preparing the half yearly financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the review of the financial information

In reviewing the half yearly financial report, we are responsible for expressing to Shell plc a conclusion on the Interim Financial Statements in the half yearly financial report. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions Relating to Going Concern are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of this report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to Shell plc in accordance with guidance contained in International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (UK) "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Financial Reporting Council. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than Shell plc, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Forward-Looking statements

This Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of Shell. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements concerning the potential exposure of Shell to market risks and statements expressing management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “aim”; “ambition”; ‘‘anticipate’’; “aspire”; “aspiration”; ‘‘believe’’; “commit”; “commitment”; ‘‘could’’; “desire”; ‘‘estimate’’; ‘‘expect’’; ‘‘goals’’; ‘‘intend’’; ‘‘may’’; “milestones”; ‘‘objectives’’; ‘‘outlook’’; ‘‘plan’’; ‘‘probably’’; ‘‘project’’; ‘‘risks’’; “schedule”; ‘‘seek’’; ‘‘should’’; ‘‘target’’; “vision”; ‘‘will’’; “would” and similar terms and phrases. There are a number of factors that could affect the future operations of Shell and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report, including (without limitation): (a) price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas; (b) changes in demand for Shell’s products; (c) currency fluctuations; (d) drilling and production results; (e) reserves estimates; (f) loss of market share and industry competition; (g) environmental and physical risks, including climate change; (h) risks associated with the identification of suitable potential acquisition properties and targets, and successful negotiation and completion of such transactions; (i) the risk of doing business in developing countries and countries subject to international sanctions; (j) legislative, judicial, fiscal and regulatory developments including tariffs and regulatory measures addressing climate change; (k) economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions; (l) political risks, including the risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the terms of contracts with governmental entities, delays or advancements in the approval of projects and delays in the reimbursement for shared costs; (m) risks associated with the impact of pandemics, regional conflicts, such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the conflict in the Middle East, and a significant cyber security, data privacy or IT incident; (n) the pace of the energy transition; and (o) changes in trading conditions. No assurance is provided that future dividend payments will match or exceed previous dividend payments. All forward-looking statements contained in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plc’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 (available at www.shell.com/investors/news-and-filings/sec-filings.html and www.sec.gov). These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report and should be considered by the reader. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report, July 30, 2026. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report.

Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures

This Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as cash capital expenditure and Adjusted Earnings. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.

The contents of websites referred to in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report do not form part of this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report.

We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.
