Rhea-AI Filing Summary

BP’s 2Q25 results show a sharp sequential rebound but mixed year-on-year trends. Underlying replacement-cost (RC) profit rose to $2.4 bn from $1.4 bn in 1Q25, aided by stronger refining margins, a solid oil trading contribution and normalized tax rate (36% vs 50%). Reported profit was $1.6 bn. Operating cash flow recovered to $6.3 bn (incl. $1.1 bn Gulf settlement) and net debt fell q/q to $26.0 bn, yet remains $3.4 bn higher than a year ago.

BP lifted the quarterly dividend 4% to 8.32 c and announced a $750 m buyback, targeting 30-40% of operating cash flow for shareholder returns. Reliability stayed high (refining 96.4%, upstream 96.8%). Five major upstream projects and 10 discoveries have been delivered YTD; divestment proceeds now total ~$3 bn toward the $3-4 bn 2025 goal. Structural cost cuts reach $1.7 bn against the 2023 base.

Guidance & capital frame. 3Q upstream output is expected to slip modestly; taxes paid will be ~$1 bn higher. 2025 capex is still guided at ~$14.5 bn within a $13-15 bn 2026-27 frame, and management reiterates the ambition to shrink net debt to $14-18 bn by end-2027. A new Refining Indicator Margin (RIM) replaces the former RMM, with a $1/bbl move estimated to shift annual underlying RC EBIT by ~$550 m.

I risultati di BP per il 2° trimestre 2025 mostrano un netto rimbalzo sequenziale ma tendenze contrastanti su base annua. L'utile sottostante a costo di sostituzione (RC) è salito a 2,4 miliardi di dollari da 1,4 miliardi nel 1° trimestre 2025, grazie a margini di raffinazione più forti, un solido contributo dal trading petrolifero e un'aliquota fiscale normalizzata (36% contro 50%). L'utile riportato è stato di 1,6 miliardi di dollari. Il flusso di cassa operativo è tornato a 6,3 miliardi di dollari (inclusi 1,1 miliardi per la risoluzione nel Golfo) e il debito netto è diminuito trimestre su trimestre a 26,0 miliardi, sebbene rimanga superiore di 3,4 miliardi rispetto a un anno fa.

BP ha aumentato il dividendo trimestrale del 4% a 8,32 centesimi e ha annunciato un riacquisto di azioni per 750 milioni, puntando a destinare il 30-40% del flusso di cassa operativo ai ritorni per gli azionisti. L'affidabilità è rimasta elevata (raffinazione 96,4%, upstream 96,8%). Cinque grandi progetti upstream e 10 scoperte sono stati completati da inizio anno; i proventi da dismissioni ammontano ora a circa 3 miliardi verso l'obiettivo di 3-4 miliardi per il 2025. I tagli strutturali ai costi raggiungono 1,7 miliardi rispetto al 2023.

Previsioni e quadro degli investimenti. La produzione upstream del 3° trimestre dovrebbe diminuire leggermente; le tasse pagate saranno circa 1 miliardo più alte. Il capex 2025 è confermato intorno a 14,5 miliardi, con un intervallo di 13-15 miliardi per il 2026-27, e la direzione ribadisce l’obiettivo di ridurre il debito netto a 14-18 miliardi entro fine 2027. Un nuovo Indicatore di Margine di Raffinazione (RIM) sostituisce il precedente RMM, con una variazione di 1 dollaro al barile stimata per modificare l’EBIT sottostante RC annuale di circa 550 milioni.

Los resultados del 2T25 de BP muestran una fuerte recuperación secuencial pero tendencias mixtas interanuales. El beneficio subyacente a coste de reemplazo (RC) aumentó a 2,4 mil millones de dólares desde 1,4 mil millones en el 1T25, impulsado por márgenes de refinación más sólidos, una contribución sólida del comercio de petróleo y una tasa impositiva normalizada (36% frente a 50%). El beneficio reportado fue de 1,6 mil millones. El flujo de caja operativo se recuperó a 6,3 mil millones (incluyendo 1,1 mil millones por el acuerdo del Golfo) y la deuda neta disminuyó trimestre a trimestre a 26,0 mil millones, aunque sigue siendo 3,4 mil millones más alta que hace un año.

BP aumentó el dividendo trimestral un 4% a 8,32 centavos y anunció una recompra de acciones de 750 millones, apuntando a destinar entre el 30% y 40% del flujo de caja operativo a retornos para los accionistas. La fiabilidad se mantuvo alta (refinación 96,4%, upstream 96,8%). Cinco grandes proyectos upstream y 10 descubrimientos se han entregado en lo que va de año; los ingresos por desinversiones suman ahora aproximadamente 3 mil millones hacia el objetivo de 3-4 mil millones para 2025. Los recortes estructurales de costes alcanzan 1,7 mil millones respecto a la base de 2023.

Guía y marco de capital. Se espera que la producción upstream del 3T disminuya modestamente; los impuestos pagados serán aproximadamente 1 mil millones más altos. La inversión de capital para 2025 sigue estimada en alrededor de 14,5 mil millones dentro de un rango de 13-15 mil millones para 2026-27, y la dirección reitera la ambición de reducir la deuda neta a 14-18 mil millones para finales de 2027. Un nuevo Indicador de Margen de Refinación (RIM) reemplaza al anterior RMM, con un movimiento de 1 dólar por barril estimado para cambiar el EBIT subyacente RC anual en aproximadamente 550 millones.

BP의 2025년 2분기 실적은 전 분기 대비 급격한 반등을 보였으나 전년 대비 혼조세를 나타냈습니다. 기초 교체원가(RC) 이익은 1분기 14억 달러에서 24억 달러로 증가했으며, 이는 정제 마진 강화, 견고한 석유 거래 기여, 정상화된 세율(36% 대 50%) 덕분입니다. 보고된 이익은 16억 달러였습니다. 영업 현금 흐름은 63억 달러(걸프 합의금 11억 달러 포함)로 회복되었고 순부채는 분기 대비 260억 달러로 감소했으나, 전년 대비 34억 달러 증가한 상태입니다.

BP는 분기 배당금을 4% 인상하여 8.32센트로 조정하고 7억 5천만 달러 규모의 자사주 매입을 발표했으며, 영업 현금 흐름의 30-40%를 주주 환원에 목표로 하고 있습니다. 신뢰도는 높게 유지되었습니다(정제 96.4%, 업스트림 96.8%). 올해 들어 5개의 주요 업스트림 프로젝트와 10개의 신규 발견이 완료되었으며, 매각 수익은 현재 약 30억 달러로 2025년 목표인 30-40억 달러를 향해 가고 있습니다. 구조적 비용 절감은 2023년 기준 대비 17억 달러에 달합니다.

가이던스 및 자본 계획. 3분기 업스트림 생산량은 다소 감소할 것으로 예상되며, 납부 세금은 약 10억 달러 증가할 전망입니다. 2025년 자본 지출은 약 145억 달러로 유지되며 2026-27년에는 130-150억 달러 범위 내에 있을 것으로 예상됩니다. 경영진은 2027년 말까지 순부채를 140-180억 달러로 줄이겠다는 목표를 재확인했습니다. 새로운 정제 지표 마진(RIM)이 기존 RMM을 대체하며, 배럴당 1달러 변동 시 연간 기초 RC EBIT가 약 5억 5천만 달러 변동할 것으로 추정됩니다.

Les résultats de BP au 2T25 montrent un net rebond séquentiel mais des tendances annuelles mitigées. Le bénéfice sous-jacent au coût de remplacement (RC) est passé à 2,4 milliards de dollars contre 1,4 milliard au 1T25, soutenu par des marges de raffinage plus solides, une contribution solide du trading pétrolier et un taux d’imposition normalisé (36 % contre 50 %). Le bénéfice déclaré était de 1,6 milliard. Le flux de trésorerie opérationnel est revenu à 6,3 milliards (incluant 1,1 milliard pour le règlement du Golfe) et la dette nette a diminué d’un trimestre à l’autre à 26,0 milliards, mais reste supérieure de 3,4 milliards à celle d’il y a un an.

BP a augmenté le dividende trimestriel de 4 % à 8,32 cents et annoncé un rachat d’actions de 750 millions, visant à consacrer 30-40 % du flux de trésorerie opérationnel aux retours aux actionnaires. La fiabilité est restée élevée (raffinage 96,4 %, amont 96,8 %). Cinq grands projets amont et 10 découvertes ont été livrés depuis le début de l’année ; les produits des cessions atteignent désormais environ 3 milliards, en vue de l’objectif de 3-4 milliards pour 2025. Les réductions structurelles de coûts atteignent 1,7 milliard par rapport à la base 2023.

Prévisions et cadre capitalistique. La production amont du 3T devrait légèrement diminuer ; les impôts payés seront environ 1 milliard plus élevés. Les dépenses d’investissement pour 2025 sont toujours prévues autour de 14,5 milliards dans une fourchette de 13-15 milliards pour 2026-27, et la direction réaffirme l’ambition de réduire la dette nette à 14-18 milliards d’ici fin 2027. Un nouvel Indicateur de Marge de Raffinage (RIM) remplace l’ancien RMM, avec un mouvement de 1 $/baril estimé pour modifier le RC EBIT sous-jacent annuel d’environ 550 millions.

Die Ergebnisse von BP im 2. Quartal 2025 zeigen eine starke sequenzielle Erholung, aber gemischte Jahresvergleiche. Der zugrunde liegende Replacement-Cost-(RC)-Gewinn stieg von 1,4 Mrd. USD im 1. Quartal 2025 auf 2,4 Mrd. USD, unterstützt durch stärkere Raffineriemargen, einen soliden Beitrag aus dem Ölhandel und eine normalisierte Steuerquote (36 % gegenüber 50 %). Der berichtete Gewinn lag bei 1,6 Mrd. USD. Der operative Cashflow erholte sich auf 6,3 Mrd. USD (inkl. 1,1 Mrd. USD aus der Golf-Einigung), und die Nettoverschuldung sank quartalsweise auf 26,0 Mrd. USD, liegt jedoch immer noch um 3,4 Mrd. USD über dem Vorjahreswert.

BP erhöhte die Quartalsdividende um 4 % auf 8,32 Cent und kündigte einen Aktienrückkauf in Höhe von 750 Mio. USD an, mit dem Ziel, 30-40 % des operativen Cashflows an die Aktionäre zurückzuführen. Die Zuverlässigkeit blieb hoch (Raffinerie 96,4 %, Upstream 96,8 %). Fünf große Upstream-Projekte und 10 Entdeckungen wurden im bisherigen Jahresverlauf abgeschlossen; die Erlöse aus Desinvestitionen belaufen sich nun auf ca. 3 Mrd. USD in Richtung des Ziels von 3-4 Mrd. USD für 2025. Strukturierte Kostensenkungen erreichen 1,7 Mrd. USD gegenüber der Basis 2023.

Ausblick und Kapitalrahmen. Die Upstream-Produktion im 3. Quartal wird voraussichtlich leicht zurückgehen; die gezahlten Steuern werden etwa 1 Mrd. USD höher ausfallen. Die Investitionsausgaben für 2025 werden weiterhin bei ca. 14,5 Mrd. USD erwartet, innerhalb eines Rahmens von 13-15 Mrd. USD für 2026-27, und das Management bekräftigt das Ziel, die Nettoverschuldung bis Ende 2027 auf 14-18 Mrd. USD zu reduzieren. Ein neuer Refining Indicator Margin (RIM) ersetzt den bisherigen RMM, wobei eine Veränderung von 1 USD pro Barrel den jährlichen zugrunde liegenden RC EBIT um ca. 550 Mio. USD verschieben dürfte.

Positive
  • Sequential earnings rebound: underlying RC profit up 71% vs 1Q25 to $2.4 bn
  • Robust cash generation: 2Q25 operating cash flow $6.3 bn despite $1.1 bn Gulf payment
  • Shareholder returns: dividend raised 4% to 8.32 c; additional $750 m buyback authorized
  • Operational excellence: refining availability 96.4%, upstream plant reliability 96.8%
  • Portfolio progress: 5 project start-ups, 10 discoveries, ~$3 bn divestment proceeds YTD
  • Cost discipline: $1.7 bn structural cost savings achieved since 2023
Negative
  • Year-on-year decline: 1H25 underlying RC profit down 32% vs 1H24
  • Higher leverage: net debt $26.0 bn, up $3.4 bn YoY
  • Impairments: $1.1 bn pre-tax asset write-downs in 2Q25
  • Weaker realizations: liquids and gas prices lower, pressuring segment margins
  • Guided production dip: BP expects slightly lower upstream volumes in 3Q25

Insights

TL;DR: QoQ recovery and cash return upbeat; YoY softness and debt overhang temper outlook.

Operational metrics above 96% and a $1 bn tax swing drove the $1 bn sequential profit uplift. Cash generation funded both a 4% dividend hike and another $0.75 bn buyback—evidence BP is sticking to its 30-40% payout pledge despite lower YoY earnings. However, 1H underlying RC profit is down 32% YoY and net debt sits 15% higher, reflecting weaker liquids prices and gas trading plus $1.1 bn impairments. Upstream volume guidance is modest and taxes will spike in 3Q, limiting near-term upside. Overall tone: cautiously positive but not thesis-changing.

TL;DR: Capital discipline intact; leverage and margin volatility remain watch-points.

Management reaffirmed the $14-18 bn 2027 debt target, supported by hybrid issuance and divestments (Netherlands mobility, US wind). The new RIM rule should improve margin transparency. Dividend + buyback yield ~6% annualized, attractive versus peers. Yet, higher net debt, lower YoY cash flow and continued impairments suggest balance-sheet progress will be gradual, especially if upstream output edges lower. I classify the filing as neutral-to-modestly positive for valuation.

●     Growing resilient dividend: 2Q25 dividend per ordinary share of 8.32 cents; in addition, announced $750 million share buyback for 2Q25

 
This has been another strong quarter for bp operationally and strategically. We are delivering on our plan to grow the upstream and focus the downstream with reliability across both at >96%. So far this year we've brought five new oil and gas major projects onstream, sanctioned four more and made ten exploration discoveries, including the significant discovery in Bumerangue block in Brazil. Underlying earnings in our customers business are up around 50% compared to a year ago and trading has delivered well quarter-on-quarter during challenging conditions. Expected proceeds from completed or announced divestments have reached around $3 billion for the year and we have now delivered around $1.7 billion of structural cost reductions since the start of our programme. We have announced a dividend per ordinary share of 8.32 cents, an increase of 4%, and a further $750 million share buyback for the second quarter. We remain fully focused on delivering safely and reliably, investing with discipline and driving performance improvement - all in service of growing cash flow, returns and long-term shareholder value.

We are two quarters into a twelve-quarter plan and are laser-focused on delivery of our four key targets - and while we should be encouraged by our early progress, we know there's much more to do. In advance of chair elect, Albert Manifold joining the board on 1 September, he and I have been in discussions and have agreed that we will conduct a thorough review of our portfolio of businesses to ensure we are maximizing shareholder value moving forward - allocating capital effectively. We are also initiating a further cost review and, whilst we will not compromise on safety, we are doing this with a view to being best in class in our industry. We reaffirm our commitment to ensure that there is an embedded process of continuous business improvement across our operations. This is all in service of accelerating the delivery of our strategy. bp can and will do better for its investors.

Highlights
 
 
 
2Q25 underlying replacement cost (RC) profit* $2.4 billion
 
 
 
●             
 
Underlying RC profit for the quarter was $2.4 billion, compared with $1.4 billion for the previous quarter. Compared with the first quarter 2025, the underlying result reflects an average gas marketing and trading result, stronger realized refining margins, stronger customers result, a strong oil trading result, partly offset by lower liquids and gas realizations and significantly higher level of refinery turnaround activity. The underlying effective tax rate (ETR)* in the quarter was 36%, compared with 50% for the previous quarter, which reflects changes in the geographical mix of profits.
 
 
 
●             
 
Reported profit for the quarter was $1.6 billion, compared with $0.7 billion for the first quarter 2025. The reported result for the second quarter is adjusted for inventory holding losses* of $0.6 billion (pre-tax) and a net adverse impact of adjusting items* of $0.7 billion (pre-tax) to derive the underlying RC profit. Adjusting items include pre-tax net impairments of $1.1 billion and favourable fair value accounting effects* of $0.6 billion. See page 28 for more information on adjusting items.
 
 
 
Segment results
 
 
 
●             
 
Gas & low carbon energy: The RC profit before interest and tax for the second quarter 2025 was $1.0 billion, compared with $1.4 billion for the previous quarter. After adjusting RC profit before interest and tax for a net adverse impact of adjusting items of $0.4 billion, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax* for the second quarter was $1.5 billion, compared with $1.0 billion in the first quarter 2025. The second quarter underlying result before interest and tax reflects an average gas marketing and trading result compared with a weak result in the first quarter, and higher volumes, partly offset by lower realizations and a higher depreciation, depletion and amortization charge.
 
 
 
●             
 
Oil production & operations: The RC profit before interest and tax for the second quarter 2025 was $1.9 billion, compared with $2.8 billion for the previous quarter. After adjusting RC profit before interest and tax for a net adverse impact of adjusting items of $0.3 billion, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax for the second quarter was $2.3 billion, compared with $2.9 billion in the first quarter 2025. The second quarter underlying result before interest and tax reflects lower realizations and a higher depreciation, depletion and amortization charge partly offset by higher production.
 
 
 
●             
 
Customers & products: The RC profit before interest and tax for the second quarter 2025 was $1.0 billion, compared with $0.1 billion for the previous quarter. After adjusting RC profit before interest and tax for a net adverse impact of adjusting items of $0.6 billion, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax (underlying result) for the second quarter was $1.5 billion, compared with $0.7 billion in the first quarter 2025. The customers second quarter underlying result was higher by $0.4 billion, reflecting seasonally higher volumes and stronger fuels margins. The products second quarter underlying result was higher by $0.5 billion, reflecting stronger realized refining margins and a strong oil trading contribution, partly offset by a significantly higher level of refinery turnaround activity.
 
 
 
Operating cash flow $6.3 billion and net debt $26.0 billion
 
 
 
●             
 
Operating cash flow of $6.3 billion, which includes the $1.1 billion settlement payment for the Gulf of America (see page 29), was around $3.4 billion higher than the previous quarter, reflecting higher earnings and lower working capital* build. Net debt reduced to $26.0 billion in the second quarter as cash inflows from higher operating cash flow and divestment and other proceeds exceeded cash outflows during the period.
 
 
 
Financial frame
 
 
 
●             
 
bp is committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and maintaining 'A' grade credit range through the cycle. We have a target of $14-18 billion of net debt by the end of 2027(a).
 
 
 
●             
 
Our policy is to maintain a resilient dividend. Subject to board approval, we expect an increase in the dividend per ordinary share of at least 4% per year(b). For the second quarter, bp has announced a dividend per ordinary share of 8.32 cents.
 
 
 
●             
 
Share buybacks are a mechanism to return excess cash. When added to the resilient dividend, we expect total shareholder distributions of 30-40% of operating cash flow, over time. Related to the second quarter results, bp intends to execute a $0.75 billion share buyback prior to reporting the third quarter results. The $0.75 billion share buyback programme announced with the first quarter results was completed on 1 August 2025.
 
 
 
●             
 
bp will continue to invest with discipline, driven by value and focused on delivering returns. We continue to expect capital expenditure to be around $14.5 billion in 2025. The capital frame of around $13-15 billion for 2026 and 2027 remains unchanged.
 
 
 
(a)       Potential proceeds from any transactions related to the Castrol strategic review and announcement to bring a strategic partner into Lightsource bp will be allocated to reduce net debt. 
(b)       Subject to board discretion each quarter taking into account factors including current forecasts, the cumulative level of and outlook for cash flow, share count reduction from buybacks and maintaining 'A' range credit metrics.
 
The commentary above contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with the cautionary statement on page 41.

Financial results
 
In addition to the highlights on page 2:
 
● Profit attributable to bp shareholders in the second quarter and half year was $1.6 billion and $2.3 billion respectively, compared with a loss of $0.1 billion and a profit of $2.1 billion in the same periods of 2024.
 
- After adjusting profit attributable to bp shareholders for inventory holding losses* and net impact of adjusting items*, underlying replacement cost (RC) profit* for the second quarter and half year was $2.4 billion and $3.7 billion respectively, compared with $2.8 billion and $5.5 billion for the same periods of 2024. The underlying RC profit for the second quarter compared with the same period in 2024 mainly reflects lower liquids realizations, offset by a stronger customers result and oil trading contribution. The gas marketing and trading result was average. The underlying RC profit for the half year compared with the same period in 2024 mainly reflects lower refining margins, lower liquids realizations and a lower gas marketing and trading result, partly offset by the absence of the Whiting refinery outage and a stronger customers result. Underlying operating expenditure* for the half year, compared with the same period in 2024, was slightly lower, with structural cost reductions* offset by growth and inflation. 
 
- Adjusting items in the second quarter and half year had a net adverse pre-tax impact of $0.7 billion and $1.1 billion respectively, compared with a net adverse pre-tax impact of $3.1 billion and $4.3 billion in the same periods of 2024.
 
- Adjusting items for the second quarter and half year include a favourable pre-tax impact of fair value accounting effects*, relative to management's internal measure of performance, of $0.6 billion and $1.5 billion respectively, compared with an adverse pre-tax impact of $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion in the same periods of 2024. This is primarily due to little movement in the LNG forward price in the second quarter 2025 compared with an increase in the second quarter 2024 and a decline in the price in the first half of 2025 compared to an increase in the comparative period of 2024. In addition there has been a favourable impact of the fair value accounting effects relating to the hybrid bonds in the 2025 periods compared to adverse impacts in the 2024 comparative periods.
 
- Adjusting items for the second quarter and half year of 2025 include an adverse pre-tax impact of asset impairments of $1.1 billion and $1.6 billion respectively, compared with an adverse pre-tax impact of $1.3 billion and $1.9 billion in the same periods of 2024.
 
● The effective tax rate (ETR) on RC profit or loss* for the second quarter and half year was 32% and 50% respectively, compared with 87% and 63% for the same periods in 2024. Excluding adjusting items, the underlying ETR* for the second quarter and half year was 36% and 43%, compared with 33% and 38% for the same periods in 2024. The higher underlying ETR for the second quarter and half year reflects the absence of the impact of the reassessment of the recognition of deferred tax assets. The higher underlying ETR for the half year also reflects changes in the geographical mix of profits. ETR on RC profit or loss and underlying ETR are non-IFRS measures.
 
● Operating cash flow* for the second quarter and half year was $6.3 billion and $9.1 billion respectively, compared with $8.1 billion and $13.1 billion for the same periods in 2024. The reduction in operating cash flow reflects the differing impact of  working capital* movements (after adjusting for inventory holding gains or losses, fair value accounting effects and other adjusting items) for both periods and the lower underlying replacement cost profit in the first half 2025 compared with 2024.
 
● Capital expenditure* in the second quarter and half year was $3.4 billion and $7.0 billion, compared with $3.7 billion and $8.0 billion in the same periods of 2024 reflecting the lower capital frame in place for 2025.
 
● Total divestment and other proceeds for the second quarter and half year were $1.4 billion and $1.7 billion respectively, compared with $0.8 billion and $1.2 billion for the same periods in 2024. Other proceeds for the second quarter and half year 2025 were $1.0 billion from the sale of a non-controlling interest in the subsidiary that holds our 12% share in the Trans-Anatolian natural gas pipeline (TANAP). Other proceeds for the second quarter and half year 2024 were $0.5 billion from the sale of a 49% interest in a controlled affiliate holding certain midstream assets offshore US.
 
● At the end of the second quarter, net debt* was $26.0 billion, compared with $27.0 billion at the end of the first quarter 2025 and $22.6 billion at the end of the second quarter 2024. The year on year increase largely reflects lower operating cash flow over the period and acquired net debt, partially offset by the issuance of perpetual hybrid bonds.

Outlook & Guidance
 
3Q 2025 guidance
 
● Looking ahead, bp expects third quarter 2025 reported upstream* production to be slightly lower compared with the second quarter 2025.
 
● In its customers business, bp expects seasonally higher volumes compared to the second quarter and fuels margins to remain sensitive to movements in the cost of supply.
 
● In products, bp expects, compared to the second quarter, a significantly lower level of planned refinery turnaround activity, partly offset by seasonal effects of environmental compliance costs.
 
● bp expects income taxes paid in the third quarter to be around $1 billion higher than the second quarter 2025 mainly due to the timing of instalment payments, which are typically higher in the third quarter each year.
 
●  On 4 August bp elected to redeem $1.2 billion of its perpetual hybrid bonds, representing the remaining amount callable from June 2025. The hybrid bonds will be redeemed on 1 September 2025 using proceeds from bp's November 2024 hybrid bond issuance.
 
2025 guidance
 
In addition to the guidance on page 2:
 
● bp continues to expect reported upstream* production to be lower and underlying upstream production* to be slightly lower compared with 2024. Within this, bp expects underlying production from oil production & operations to be broadly flat and production from gas & low carbon energy to be lower.
 
● In its customers business, bp continues to expect growth in its customers businesses including a full year contribution from bp bioenergy. Earnings growth is expected to be supported by structural cost reduction. bp continues to expect fuels margins to remain sensitive to the cost of supply.
 
● In products, bp continues to expect stronger underlying performance underpinned by the absence of the plant-wide power outage at Whiting refinery, and improvement plans across the portfolio. bp continues to expect similar levels of refinery turnaround activity, with phasing of turnaround activity in 2025 heavily weighted towards the first half, with the highest impact in the second quarter.
 
● bp now expects other businesses & corporate underlying annual charge to be around $0.5-1.0 billion for 2025, subject to foreign exchange impacts. The charge may vary from quarter to quarter.
 
● bp now expects the depreciation, depletion and amortization to be slightly higher compared with 2024.
 
● bp continues to expect the underlying ETR* for 2025 to be around 40% but it is sensitive to a range of factors, including the volatility of the price environment and its impact on the geographical mix of the group's profits and losses.
 
● bp continues to expect divestment and other proceeds to be around $3-4 billion in 2025, with the remaining proceeds weighted to the fourth quarter 2025.
 
● bp continues to expect Gulf of America settlement payments for the year to be around $1.2 billion pre-tax including $1.1 billion pre-tax paid during the second quarter.
 
New refining rule of thumb
 
bp has retired the refining marker margin* (RMM) and replaced it with the bp refining indicator margin* (RIM), and updated the associated refining rule of thumb (RoT). The bp RIM RoT reflects the sensitivity of the group's 2025 underlying replacement cost profit before interest and tax* to changes in bp's RIM at normal operating conditions, and will not fully explain all quarter on quarter movements in Products.
 
The bp RIM reflects a broader set of crudes and products, and is more representative of bp's refining portfolio and realized refining margin per barrel. As a result, we believe this weekly disclosure will enhance the understanding of our realized margin delivery and refining profitability. For further information, see Supplementary information refining indicator margin (bp.com/supplementaryinformationRIM).

As a consequence of this change, the refining price assumptions applicable to bp's CMU Cash Flow and ROACE Targets* have been updated by replacing the RMM price assumption with a RIM price assumption. The updated price assumptions are: at $70/bbl Brent, $4/mmBtu Henry Hub and $10.3/bbl refining indicator margin, all 2024 real. There is no change to the CMU Cash Flow and ROACE Targets or to the prices used for impairment testing as a consequence of this update. Price assumptions are not intended to reflect management's forecasts for future prices.

Financial results
 
●      The replacement cost (RC) profit before interest and tax for the second quarter and half year was $1,047 million and $2,405 million respectively, compared with a loss of $315 million and a profit of $721 million for the same periods in 2024. The second quarter and half year are adjusted by an adverse impact of net adjusting items* of $415 million and $54 million respectively, compared with an adverse impact of net adjusting items of $1,717 million and $2,339 million for the same periods in 2024. Adjusting items include impacts of fair value accounting effects*, relative to management's internal measure of performance, which are a favourable impact of $18 million and $686 million for the second quarter and half year in 2025 and an adverse impact of $1,011 million and $898 million for the same periods in 2024. See page 28 for more information on adjusting items.
 
●      After adjusting RC profit before interest and tax for adjusting items, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax* for the second quarter and half year was $1,462 million and $2,459 million respectively, compared with $1,402 million and $3,060 million for the same periods in 2024.
 
●      The underlying RC profit before interest and tax for the second quarter compared with the same period in 2024, reflects higher-margin production offset by a higher depreciation, depletion and amortization charge and the divestments in Trinidad and Egypt in the fourth quarter of 2024. The gas marketing and trading result was average.
 
●      The underlying RC profit for the half year, compared with the same period in 2024, reflects a lower gas marketing and trading result, the divestments in Trinidad and Egypt in the fourth quarter of 2024, and a higher depreciation, depletion and amortization charge, partly offset by higher-margin production and the absence of the foreign exchange loss in Egypt and exploration write-offs in the first half of 2024. Underlying operating expenditure for the half year, compared with the same period in 2024, was higher, with structural cost reductions more than offset by growth and inflation.
 
Operational update
 
●      Reported production for the quarter was 782mboe/d, 13.0% lower than the same period in 2024, reflecting the divestments in Egypt and Trinidad in the fourth quarter of 2024. Underlying production* was 2.1% lower due to base decline, partly offset by major project startups.
 
●      Reported production for the half year was 773mboe/d, 14.8% lower than the same period in 2024. Underlying production was 4.1% lower, mainly due to base decline partly offset by major project startups.
 
Strategic progress gas
 
●        In May bp announced the Mento development in Trinidad & Tobago has safely delivered its first gas. Mento is a 50:50 joint venture between EOG Resources Trinidad Ltd (EOG) and bp, with EOG as the operator.
 
●        In May and June, bp signed sale and purchase agreements (SPA) for liquefied natural gas (LNG) with: Zhejiang, under which bp has agreed to supply of 1 million mt/year of LNG to Zhejiang Energy for a duration of 10 years; approximately 0.7 million mt/year of LNG to A2A from 2027 to 2044.
 
●        In May bp made the final investment decision (FID) to invest in an infill wells programme at the offshore KG D6 gas block located offshore India.
 
●        In June Gás Natural Açu (GNA) II, the largest gas fired power plant in Brazil has started commercial operations of its 1.7 gigawatts capacity plant. bp is the exclusive LNG supplier for GNA II and holds a 33.5% stake in the project alongside Siemens Energy (33.5%) and SPIC Brazil (33%).
 
●        In June bp and its partners, announced the final investment decision (FID) for the new Shah Deniz Compression project, the next stage of development of the giant Shah Deniz gas field in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea (bp operator 29.99%).
 
●        In June bp, State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) and TPAO signed agreements enabling TPAO to join the production-sharing agreement* (PSA) for the Shafag-Asiman offshore block in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea. The agreement provides for the drilling of a well into the Lower Surakhany reservoir and the extension of the term of the PSA. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2025.
 
●        In June Shafag (Jabrayil) Solar Ltd, bp's joint venture with SOCAR Green and the Azerbaijan Business Development Fund, announced FID on the 240MWAC Shafag solar plant in the Jabrayil district of Azerbaijan. In parallel the investors in the Sangachal terminal sanctioned the linked Sangachal terminal electrificaton project.
 
●        In July bp and Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) signed a memorandum of understanding to explore redevelopment of the mature giant Sarir and Messla oilfields in Libya's Sirte basin and assess the wider unconventional potential within the country.
 
●        These events build on the progress announced in our first-quarter results, which comprised the following:
 
bp announced: the Raven Infills project in the West Nile Delta (WND) had started production ahead of schedule (bp 82.75% operator, Harbour Energy 17.25%); the successful completion of the "El Fayoum-5" gas discovery well in the North Alexandria Offshore Concession in WND; it has agreed for Apollo-managed funds to purchase a 25% non-controlling stake in bp Pipelines TANAP Limited, the bp subsidiary that holds a 12% share in the TANAP pipeline, for consideration of approximately $1.0 billion; it achieved two major milestones in Trinidad & Tobago, sanctioning the Ginger gas development and exploration success at its Frangipani well; its Cypre development (located in Trinidad & Tobago) safely delivered its first gas; and it safely loaded the first cargo of LNG for export from its GTA Phase 1 project offshore Mauritania and Senegal.

Financial results
 
●      The replacement cost (RC) profit before interest and tax for the second quarter and half year was $1,916 million and $4,704 million respectively, compared with $3,267 million and $6,327 million for the same periods in 2024. The second quarter and half year are adjusted by an adverse impact of net adjusting items* of $346 million and $453 million respectively, compared with a favourable impact of net adjusting items of $173 million and $108 million for the same periods in 2024. See page 28 for more information on adjusting items.
 
●      After adjusting RC profit before interest and tax for adjusting items, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax* for the second quarter and half year was $2,262 million and $5,157 million respectively, compared with $3,094 million and $6,219 million for the same periods in 2024.
 
●      The underlying RC profit before interest and tax for the second quarter and half year, compared with the same periods in 2024, primarily reflects lower realizations and a higher depreciation, depletion and amortization charge, partially offset by higher production. Underlying operating expenditure* for the half year, compared with the same period in 2024, was broadly flat, with structural cost reductions offset by growth and inflation.
 
Operational update
 
●      Reported production for the quarter was 1,518mboe/d, 2.5% higher than the same period in 2024. Underlying production* for the quarter was 0.8% higher reflecting higher production in bpx, partly offset by planned maintenance.
 
●      Reported production for the half year was 1,497mboe/d, 1.7% higher than the same period in 2024. Underlying production was 1.1% higher reflecting improved base performance partly offset by planned maintenance.
 
Strategic progress
 
●      In June bp announced it had signed fully termed agreements with the State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) to acquire 35% participating interests and become the operator of two exploration and development blocks in the Caspian Sea - the Karabagh oil field and the Ashrafi-Dan Ulduzu-Aypara (ADUA) area.
 
●      In July, Azule Energy, bp's 50% joint venture (Azule), and operator of Block 15/06 in Angola, together with its partners, announced the successful start-up of the Agogo Integrated West Hub Project, which aims to fully develop the Agogo and Ndungu fields in Block 15/06.
 
●      In July Azule, operator of Block 1/14, and its partners announced a gas discovery at the Gajajeira-01 exploration well, located offshore in the Lower Congo Basin, Angola. The well was spudded on 1 April 2025 in a water depth of 95 metres, approximately 60 kilometres off the coast. Initial assessments suggest gas volumes in place could exceed 1 trillion cubic feet, with up to 100 million barrels of associated condensate.
 
●      In June bpx Energy started up the Crossroads facility in the Permian Basin, bpx's fourth and final central delivery facility to be built, following the earlier Grand Slam, Checkmate and Bingo facilities.
 
●      In July bpx Energy took over operations from Devon Energy of certain assets in the Eagle Ford Shale following the dissolution of their joint venture in the Blackhawk Field.
 
●      In June bp took the final investment decision on the Atlantis Major Facility Expansion Project, which is expected to increase water injection capacity. First water injection is targeted for 2027.
 
●      In August bp announced an exploration discovery at the Bumerangue prospect in the deepwater offshore Brazil. bp drilled exploration well 1-BP-13-SPS at the Bumerangue block, located in the Santos Basin, 404 kilometres (218 nautical miles) from Rio de Janeiro, in a water depth of 2,372 metres. The well was drilled to a total depth of 5,855 metres. The well intersected the reservoir about 500 metres below the crest of the structure and penetrated an estimated 500 metre gross hydrocarbon column, in high-quality pre-salt carbonate reservoir with an areal extent of greater than 300km2. Results from the rig-site analysis indicate elevated levels of carbon dioxide. bp will now begin laboratory analysis to further characterize the reservoir and fluids discovered, which will provide additional insight into the potential of the Bumerangue block. bp holds a 100% participation in the block with Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A. as the Production Sharing Contract manager. bp secured the block in December 2022 during the 1st Cycle of the Open Acreage of Production Sharing of the Brazilian national petroleum agency (ANP).
 
●      In August bp announced the start-up of the Argos Southwest Extension project in the Gulf of America. The project consists of three wells and a new drill centre tied back to the Argos platform and is expected to add 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day of gross peak annualized average production. bp is operator of Argos with 60.5% working interest, with co-owners Woodside Energy (23.9%) and Union Oil Company of California, an affiliate of Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (15.6%).
 
●      These events build on the progress announced in our first-quarter results, which comprised the following: bp received final government ratification for its contract to invest in the redevelopment of several giant oil fields in Kirkuk, in the north of Iraq; bp announced a Miocene oil discovery at the Far South prospect in the US Gulf of America (bp 57.5% operator); in January the initial producer well from West Chirag, Azerbaijan, in the deeper non-associated gas reservoirs encountered hydrocarbons; Azule Energy, in collaboration with its New Gas Consortium (NGC) partners, completed installation of the jacket and deck of the Quiluma offshore platform, a key step in Angola's first non-associated gas development; and in April, Rhino Resources (42.5%) along with co-venturers Azule Energy (42.5%), Namcor (10%), and Korres Investments (5%) announced the successful drilling of the Capricornus 1-X exploration well in block PEL-85 in the Orange basin, Namibia.

Financial results
 
●      The replacement cost (RC) profit before interest and tax for the second quarter and half year was $972 million and $1,075 million respectively, compared with a loss of $133 million and a profit of $855 million for the same periods in 2024. The second quarter and half year are adjusted by an adverse impact of net adjusting items* of $561 million and $1,135 million respectively, compared with an adverse impact of net adjusting items of $1,282 million and $1,583 million for the same periods in 2024. See page 28 for more information on adjusting items.
 
●      After adjusting RC profit before interest and tax for adjusting items, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax* (underlying result) for the second quarter and half year was $1,533 million and $2,210 million respectively, compared with $1,149 million and $2,438 million for the same periods in 2024.
 
●      The customers & products underlying result for the second quarter was higher than the same period in 2024, primarily reflecting a stronger customers result and oil trading contribution, partly offset by a lower refining performance. The result for the half year was lower than the same period in 2024, primarily reflecting a lower refining performance, partly offset by a higher customers result and lower underlying operating expenditure* across customers and products as we build momentum in our structural cost reduction programme.
 
●      customers - the customers underlying result for the second quarter and half year was higher compared with the same periods in 2024. The underlying result benefited from stronger integrated performance across fuels and midstream, with Castrol's earnings in the first half of 2025 more than 20% higher compared to the same period last year, driven by higher volumes and margins. The first half also benefited from lower underlying operating expenditure. 
 
●      products - the products underlying result for the second quarter was higher compared with the same period in 2024, mainly due to a strong oil trading contribution. In refining, the second quarter was impacted by significantly higher turnaround activity and lower realized margins reflecting narrower North American heavy crude oil differentials, partly offset by stronger operations and commercial delivery. The products result for the first half was lower compared with the same period in 2024, primarily reflecting significantly lower realized refining margins and higher turnaround activity, partly offset by the absence of the first quarter 2024 plant-wide power outage at the Whiting refinery and lower underlying operating expenditure.
 
Operational update 
 
●      bp-operated refining availability* for the second quarter and half year was 96.4% and 96.3%, compared with 96.4% and 93.4% for the same periods in 2024. The half year was higher reflecting strong performance and notably the absence of the Whiting refinery power outage.
 
Strategic progress
 
●      In July, bp announced the sale of its Netherlands mobility & convenience and bp pulse businesses to Catom BV. The sale is expected to complete by the end of 2025 subject to regulatory approvals.
 
●      During the second quarter, bp opened three EV fast charging Gigahubs near airports in Los Angeles, Boston and San Francisco, and signed a strategic agreement with Waffle House, in the US, to expand ultrafast(a) EV charging network at its locations.
 
●      These events build on the progress announced in our first-quarter results, which comprised the following:
 
◦     bp announced a strategic review of its Castrol business with the intention of accelerating Castrol's next phase of value delivery.
 
◦     bp announced plans to sell its mobility and convenience business in Austria. bp is targeting to close the divestment by the end of 2025.

Independent review report to BP p.l.c.
 
Conclusion
 
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2025 which comprises the group income statement, the condensed group statement of comprehensive income, the group balance sheet, the condensed group statement of changes in equity, the condensed group cash flow statement and related notes 1 to 10.
 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2025 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with United Kingdom 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 (UK) 2410 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in the United Kingdom (ISRE (UK) 2410). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, 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, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), IFRS as adopted by the UK, and European Union (EU), and in accordance with the provisions of the UK Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under international accounting standards. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom adopted International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
 
Conclusion Relating to Going Concern
 
Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for Conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the directors 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 ISRE (UK) 2410; 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 group'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 the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly financial report. Our Conclusion, including our Conclusion 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 the company in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to it in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

(a)      On 4 August 2025 BP Capital Markets p.l.c. issued notice to voluntarily redeem $1.2 billion of hybrid bonds effective 1 September 2025. This is expected to reduce non-controlling interest and increase net debt in the third quarter.
 
(b)     During the first half 2025 a group subsidiary issued perpetual subordinated hybrid securities of $0.5 billion, the proceeds of which were specifically earmarked to fund BP Alternative Energy Investments Ltd including the funding of Lightsource bp. This transaction resulted in a reduction of net debt and gearing.
 
(c)      In the first half 2025, a group subsidiary that holds a 12% stake in the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP), issued $1.0 billion of equity instruments with preferred distributions. The group retains control over the ability to defer these distributions which are not guaranteed, and investors cannot redeem their shares except under specific conditions that are within the group's control.

Notes
 
Note 1. Basis of preparation
 
The interim financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
 
The results for the interim periods are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for each period. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. This report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended 31 December 2024 included in bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2024.
 
The directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these interim financial statements.
 
bp prepares its consolidated financial statements included within bp Annual Report and Form 20-F on the basis of IFRS Accounting Standards® (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), IFRS as adopted by the UK, and European Union (EU), and in accordance with the provisions of the UK Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under international accounting standards. IFRS as adopted by the UK does not differ from IFRS as adopted by the EU. IFRS as adopted by the UK and EU differ in certain respects from IFRS as issued by the IASB. The differences have no impact on the group's consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The financial information presented herein has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies expected to be used in preparing bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2025 which are the same as those used in preparing bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2024.
 
There are no new or amended standards or interpretations adopted from 1 January 2025 onwards that have a significant impact on the financial information.
 
UK Energy Profits Levy
 
In October 2024, the UK government announced changes (effective from 1 November 2024) to the Energy Profits Levy including a 3% increase in the rate taking the headline rate of tax on North Sea profits to 78%, an extension to the period of application of the Levy to 31 March 2030 and the removal of the Levy's main investment allowance. The changes to the rate and to the investment allowance were substantively enacted in 2024. The extension of the Levy to 31 March 2030 was substantively enacted in the first quarter 2025, resulting in a non-cash deferred charge of approximately $0.5 billion.
 
Germany tax legislation
 
On 11 July 2025, the German federal government substantively enacted a number of changes to its tax legislation, including a 5% reduction in the corporate income tax rate by 2032. The reduction in the tax rate will be phased in by means of a 1% reduction each year between 2028 and 2032 and is expected to result in a non-cash deferred tax charge of approximately $300 million in the third quarter 2025.
 
Change in segmentation
During the first quarter of 2025, our Archaea business has moved from the customers & products segment to the gas & low carbon energy segment. The change in segmentation is consistent with a change in the way that resources are allocated, and performance is assessed by the chief operating decision maker, who for bp is the group chief executive.
 
Comparative information for 2024 has been restated where material to reflect the changes in reportable segments.
 
 
Significant accounting judgements and estimates
 
bp's significant accounting judgements and estimates were disclosed in bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2024. These have been subsequently considered at the end of this quarter to determine if any changes were required to those judgements and estimates.  No significant changes were identified.

Note 7. Earnings per share and shares in issue
 
Basic earnings per ordinary share (EpS) amounts are calculated by dividing the profit (loss) for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. 170 million and 45 million ordinary shares repurchased were settled during the second quarter 2025 against the authority granted at bp's 2024 and 2025 annual general meetings respectively, for a total cost of $1,063 million. All of these shares were held as treasury shares. A further 98 million ordinary shares were repurchased between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue for a total cost of $522 million. This amount has been accrued at 30 June 2025. The number of shares in issue is reduced when shares are repurchased, but is not reduced in respect of the period-end commitment to repurchase shares subsequent to the end of the period.
 
The calculation of EpS is performed separately for each discrete quarterly period, and for the year-to-date period. As a result, the sum of the discrete quarterly EpS amounts in any particular year-to-date period may not be equal to the EpS amount for the year-to-date period.
 
For the diluted EpS calculation the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the number of shares that are potentially issuable in connection with employee share-based payment plans using the treasury stock method.

Note 8. Dividends
 
Dividends payable
 
bp today announced an interim dividend of 8.320 cents per ordinary share which is expected to be paid on 19 September 2025 to ordinary shareholders and American Depositary Share (ADS) holders on the register on 15 August 2025. The ex-dividend date will be 14 August 2025 for ordinary shareholders and 15 August 2025 for ADS holders. The corresponding amount in sterling is due to be announced on 9 September 2025, calculated based on the average of the market exchange rates over three dealing days between 3 September 2025 and 5 September 2025. Holders of ADSs are expected to receive $0.4992 per ADS (less applicable fees). The board has decided not to offer a scrip dividend alternative in respect of the second quarter 2025 dividend. Ordinary shareholders and ADS holders (subject to certain exceptions) will be able to participate in a dividend reinvestment programme. Details of the second quarter dividend and timetable are available at bp.com/dividends and further details of the dividend reinvestment programmes are available at bp.com/drip.

(b)   Under IFRS bp marks-to-market the value of the hedges used to risk-manage LNG contracts, but not the contracts themselves, resulting in a mismatch in accounting treatment. The fair value accounting effect includes the change in value of LNG contracts that are being risk managed, and the underlying result reflects how bp risk-manages its LNG      contracts.
 
(c)   For further information, including the nature of fair value accounting effects reported in each segment, see pages 3, 6 and 36.
 
(d)   Second quarter and first half 2024 include the initial recognition of onerous contract provisions related to Gelsenkirchen refinery. The unwind of these provisions in the subsequent quarters are reported as an adjusting item as the contractual obligations are settled.
 
(e)   Includes the unwinding of discounting effects relating to Gulf of America oil spill payables and the income statement impact of temporary valuation differences related to the group's interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk management associated with finance debt. All periods presented for 2025 include the unwinding of discounting effects relating to certain onerous contract provisions.
 
(f)   Includes certain foreign exchange effects on tax as adjusting items. These amounts represent the impact of: (i) foreign exchange on deferred tax balances arising from the conversion of local currency tax base amounts into functional currency, and (ii) taxable gains and losses from the retranslation of US dollar-denominated intra-group loans to local currency.
 
(g)   First quarter 2025 and first half 2025 and second quarter 2024 and first half 2024 include revisions to the deferred tax impact of the introduction of the UK Energy Profits Levy (EPL) on temporary differences existing at the opening balance sheet date. The EPL increases the

During the second quarter pre-tax payments of $1,129 million were made relating to the 2016 consent decree and settlement agreement with the United States and the five Gulf coast states. Payables and provisions presented in the table above reflect the latest estimate for the remaining costs associated with the Gulf of America oil spill. Where amounts have been provided on an estimated basis, the amounts ultimately payable may differ from the amounts provided and the timing of payments is uncertain. Further information relating to the Gulf of America oil spill, including information on the nature and expected timing of payments relating to provisions and other payables, is provided in bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2024 - Financial statements - Notes 7, 22, 23, 29, and 33.
 
Working capital* reconciliation
 
Change in working capital adjusted for inventory holding gains/losses*, fair value accounting effects* relating to subsidiaries and other adjusting items is a non-IFRS measure. It represents what would have been reported as movements in inventories and other current and non-current assets and liabilities, if the starting point in determining net cash provided by operating activities had been underlying replacement cost profit rather than profit for the period.

Underlying operating expenditure* reconciliation
 
Underlying operating expenditure is a non-IFRS measure and a subset of production and manufacturing expenses plus distribution and administration expenses and excludes costs that are classified as adjusting items. It represents the majority of the remaining expenses in these line items but excludes certain costs that are variable, primarily with volumes (such as freight costs).
 
Management believes that underlying operating expenditure is a performance measure that provides investors with useful information regarding the company's financial performance because it considers these expenses to be the principal operating and overhead expenses that are most directly under their control although they also include certain foreign exchange and commodity price effects.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The principal risks and uncertainties affecting bp are described in the Risk factors section of bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2024 (pages 65-67) and are summarized below. There are no material changes expected in those risk factors for the remaining six months of the financial year.
 
The risks and uncertainties summarized below, separately or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on the implementation of our strategy, business, financial performance, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, prospects, shareholder value and returns and reputation.
 
Strategic and commercial risks
 
●      Prices and markets - our financial performance is impacted by fluctuating prices of oil, gas and refined products, technological change, climate policies and regulations, exchange rate fluctuations, and the general macroeconomic outlook.
 
●      Accessing and progressing hydrocarbon resources and low carbon opportunities - inability to access and progress hydrocarbon resources and low carbon opportunities could adversely affect delivery of our strategy.
 
●      Major project* delivery - failure to invest in the best opportunities or deliver major projects successfully could adversely affect our financial performance.
 
●      Geopolitical - exposure to a range of political developments and consequent changes to the operating and regulatory environment could cause business disruption.
 
●      Liquidity, financial capacity and financial, including credit, exposure - failure to work within our financial frame could impact our ability to operate and result in financial loss.
 
●      Joint arrangements and contractors - varying levels of control over the standards, operations and compliance of our partners, including non-operated joint ventures (NOJVs), contractors and sub-contractors could result in legal liability and reputational damage.
 
●      Digital infrastructure, cyber security and data protection - breach or failure of our or third parties' digital infrastructure or cyber security, including loss or misuse of sensitive information could damage our operations, increase costs and damage our reputation.
 
●      Climate change and the transition to a lower carbon economy - developments in policy, law, regulation, technology and markets, including societal and investor sentiment, related to the issue of climate change and the transition to a lower carbon economy could increase costs, reduce revenues, constrain our operations and affect our business plans and financial performance.
 
●      Competition - inability to remain efficient, maintain a high-quality portfolio of assets and innovate could negatively impact delivery of our strategy in a highly competitive market.
 
●      Talent and capability - inability to attract, develop and retain people with necessary skills, capabilities and behaviours could negatively impact delivery of our strategy.
 
●      Crisis management and business continuity - failure to address an incident effectively could potentially disrupt our business.
 
●      Insurance - our insurance strategy could expose the group to material uninsured losses.
 
Safety and operational risks
 
●      Process safety, personal safety, and environmental risks - exposure to a wide range of health, safety and environmental risks could cause harm to people, the environment and our assets and result in regulatory action, legal liability, business interruption, increased costs, damage to our reputation and potentially denial of our licence to operate.
 
●      Drilling and production - challenging operational environments and other uncertainties could impact drilling and production activities.
 
●      Security - hostile acts against our employees and activities could cause harm to people and disrupt our operations.
 
●      Product quality - supplying customers with off-specification products could damage our reputation, lead to regulatory action and legal liability, and impact our financial performance.
 
Compliance and control risks
 
●      Ethical misconduct and non-compliance - ethical misconduct or breaches of applicable laws by our businesses or our employees could be damaging to our reputation, and could result in litigation, regulatory action and penalties.

Glossary
 
Non-IFRS measures are provided for investors because they are closely tracked by management to evaluate bp's operating performance and to make financial, strategic and operating decisions. Non-IFRS measures are sometimes referred to as alternative performance measures.
 
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure presented for bp's operating segments and is defined as replacement cost (RC) profit before interest and tax, adjusting for net adjusting items* before interest and tax, and adding back depreciation, depletion and amortization and exploration write-offs (net of adjusting items). Adjusted EBITDA by business is a further analysis of adjusted EBITDA for the customers & products businesses. bp believes it is helpful to disclose adjusted EBITDA by operating segment and by business because it reflects how the segments measure underlying business delivery. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis for the segment is RC profit or loss before interest and tax, which is bp's measure of profit or loss that is required to be disclosed for each operating segment under IFRS. A reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 32 for the customers & products businesses.
Adjusted EBITDA for the group is defined as profit or loss for the period, adjusting for finance costs and net finance (income) or expense relating to pensions and other post-employment benefits and taxation, inventory holding gains or losses before tax, net adjusting items before interest and tax, and adding back depreciation, depletion and amortization (pre-tax) and exploration expenditure written-off (net of adjusting items, pre-tax). The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis for the group is profit or loss for the period. A reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 30 for the group.
 
Adjusted operating expenditure is a non-IFRS measure and a subset of production and manufacturing expenses plus distribution and administration expenses. It represents the majority of the remaining expenses in these line items but excludes certain costs that are variable, primarily with volumes (such as freight costs). Other variable costs are included in purchases in the income statement. Management believes that adjusted operating expenditure is a performance measure that provides investors with useful information regarding the company's financial performance because it considers these expenses to be the principal operating and overhead expenses that are most directly under their control although they also include certain adjusting items*, foreign exchange and commodity price effects. The nearest IFRS measures are production and manufacturing expenses and distributions and administration expenses. A reconciliation of production and manufacturing expenses plus distribution and administration expenses to adjusted operating expenditure is provided on page 31.
 
Adjusting items are items that bp discloses separately because it considers such disclosures to be meaningful and relevant to investors. They are items that management considers to be important to period-on-period analysis of the group's results and are disclosed in order to enable investors to better understand and evaluate the group's reported financial performance. Adjusting items include gains and losses on the sale of businesses and fixed assets, impairments, environmental and related provisions and charges, restructuring, integration and rationalization costs, fair value accounting effects and costs relating to the Gulf of America oil spill and other items. Adjusting items within equity-accounted earnings are reported net of incremental income tax reported by the equity-accounted entity. Adjusting items are used as a reconciling adjustment to derive underlying RC profit or loss and related underlying measures which are non-IFRS measures. An analysis of adjusting items by segment and type is shown on page 28.
 
Capital expenditure is total cash capital expenditure as stated in the condensed group cash flow statement. Capital expenditure for the operating segments, gas & low carbon energy businesses and customers & products businesses is presented on the same basis.
 
CMU Cash Flow and ROACE Targets are the following targets first announced by bp on 26 February 2025: (i) bp's target for adjusted free cash flow compound annual growth of greater than 20% from 2024-2027; and (ii) bp's target for group ROACE above 16% in 2027.
 
●      Adjusted free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure and defined as operating cash flow* excluding working capital* (after adjusting for inventory holding gains/losses*, fair value accounting effects* and other adjusting items) less cash capital expenditure*.
 
●      ROACE is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as underlying replacement cost profit* after adding back non-controlling interest and interest expense net of tax, divided by the average of the beginning and ending balances of total equity plus finance debt excluding cash and cash equivalents and goodwill as presented on the group balance sheet over the periods. Interest expense before tax is finance costs as presented on the group income statement, excluding lease interest, the unwinding of the discount on provisions and other payables and other adjusting items reported in finance costs.
 
Consolidation adjustment - UPII is unrealized profit in inventory arising on inter-segment transactions.
 
Divestment proceeds are disposal proceeds as per the condensed group cash flow statement.

Glossary (continued)
 
Effective tax rate (ETR) on replacement cost (RC) profit or loss is a non-IFRS measure. The ETR on RC profit or loss is calculated by dividing taxation on a RC basis by RC profit or loss before tax. Taxation on a RC basis for the group is calculated as taxation as stated on the group income statement adjusted for taxation on inventory holding gains and losses. Information on RC profit or loss is provided below. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the ETR on RC profit or loss because this measure excludes the impact of price changes on the replacement of inventories and allows for more meaningful comparisons between reporting periods. Taxation on a RC basis and ETR on RC profit or loss are non-IFRS measures. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is the ETR on profit or loss for the period.
 
Fair value accounting effects are non-IFRS adjustments to our IFRS profit (loss). They reflect the difference between the way bp manages the economic exposure and internally measures performance of certain activities and the way those activities are measured under IFRS. Fair value accounting effects are included within adjusting items. They relate to certain of the group's commodity, interest rate and currency risk exposures as detailed below. Other than as noted below, the fair value accounting effects described are reported in both the gas & low carbon energy and customer & products segments.
 
bp uses derivative instruments to manage the economic exposure relating to inventories above normal operating requirements of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products. Under IFRS, these inventories are recorded at historical cost. The related derivative instruments, however, are required to be recorded at fair value with gains and losses recognized in the income statement. This is because hedge accounting is either not permitted or not followed, principally due to the impracticality of effectiveness-testing requirements. Therefore, measurement differences in relation to recognition of gains and losses occur. Gains and losses on these inventories, other than net realizable value provisions, are not recognized until the commodity is sold in a subsequent accounting period. Gains and losses on the related derivative commodity contracts are recognized in the income statement, from the time the derivative commodity contract is entered into, on a fair value basis using forward prices consistent with the contract maturity.
 
bp enters into physical commodity contracts to meet certain business requirements, such as the purchase of crude for a refinery or the sale of bp's gas production. Under IFRS these physical contracts are treated as derivatives and are required to be fair valued when they are managed as part of a larger portfolio of similar transactions. Gains and losses arising are recognized in the income statement from the time the derivative commodity contract is entered into.
 
IFRS require that inventory held for trading is recorded at its fair value using period-end spot prices, whereas any related derivative commodity instruments are required to be recorded at values based on forward prices consistent with the contract maturity. Depending on market conditions, these forward prices can be either higher or lower than spot prices, resulting in measurement differences.
 
bp enters into contracts for pipelines and other transportation, storage capacity, oil and gas processing, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and certain gas and power contracts that, under IFRS, are recorded on an accruals basis. These contracts are risk-managed using a variety of derivative instruments that are fair valued under IFRS. This results in measurement differences in relation to recognition of gains and losses.
 
The way that bp manages the economic exposures described above, and measures performance internally, differs from the way these activities are measured under IFRS. bp calculates this difference for consolidated entities by comparing the IFRS result with management's internal measure of performance. We believe that disclosing management's estimate of this difference provides useful information for investors because it enables investors to see the economic effect of these activities as a whole.
 
These include:
 
●      Under management's internal measure of performance the inventory, transportation and capacity contracts in question are valued based on fair value using relevant forward prices prevailing at the end of the period.
 
●      Fair value accounting effects also include changes in the fair value of the near-term portions of LNG contracts that fall within bp's risk management framework. LNG contracts are not considered derivatives, because there is insufficient market liquidity, and they are therefore accrual accounted under IFRS. However, oil and natural gas derivative financial instruments used to risk manage the near-term portions of the LNG contracts are fair valued under IFRS. The fair value accounting effect, which is reported in the gas and low carbon energy segment, represents the change in value of LNG contracts that are being risk managed and which is reflected in the underlying result, but not in reported earnings. Management believes that this gives a better representation of performance in each period.
 
Furthermore, the fair values of derivative instruments used to risk manage certain other oil, gas, power and other contracts, are deferred to match with the underlying exposure. The commodity contracts for business requirements are accounted for on an accruals basis.
 
In addition, fair value accounting effects include changes in the fair value of derivatives entered into by the group to manage currency exposure and interest rate risks relating to hybrid bonds to their respective first call periods. The hybrid bonds which are classified as equity instruments were recorded in the balance sheet at their issuance date at their USD equivalent issued value. Under IFRS these equity instruments are not remeasured from period to period, and do not qualify for application of hedge accounting. The derivative instruments relating to the hybrid bonds, however, are required to be recorded at fair value with mark to market gains and losses recognized in the income statement. Therefore, measurement differences in relation to the recognition of gains and losses occur. The fair value accounting effect, which is reported in the other businesses & corporate segment, eliminates the fair value gains and losses of these derivative financial instruments that are recognized in the income statement. We believe that this gives a better representation of performance, by more appropriately reflecting the economic effect of these risk management activities, in each period.

Glossary (continued)
 
Gas & low carbon energy segment comprises our gas and low carbon businesses. Our gas business includes regions with upstream activities that predominantly produce natural gas, integrated gas and power and gas trading. From the first quarter of 2025 it also includes our Archaea business which prior to that was reported in the customers & products segment. Our low carbon business includes solar, offshore and onshore wind, hydrogen and CCS and power trading. Power trading includes trading of both renewable and non-renewable power.
 
Gearing and net debt are non-IFRS measures. Net debt is calculated as finance debt, as shown in the balance sheet, plus the fair value of associated derivative financial instruments that are used to hedge foreign currency exchange and interest rate risks relating to finance debt, for which hedge accounting is applied, less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt does not include accrued interest, which is reported within other receivables and other payables on the balance sheet and for which the associated cash flows are presented as operating cash flows in the group cash flow statement. Gearing is defined as the ratio of net debt to the total of net debt plus total equity. bp believes these measures provide useful information to investors. Net debt enables investors to see the economic effect of finance debt, related hedges and cash and cash equivalents in total. Gearing enables investors to see how significant net debt is relative to total equity. The derivatives are reported on the balance sheet within the headings 'Derivative financial instruments'. The nearest equivalent measures on an IFRS basis are finance debt and finance debt ratio. A reconciliation of finance debt to net debt is provided on page 26.
 
We are unable to present reconciliations of forward-looking information for net debt or gearing to finance debt and total equity, because without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to forecast accurately certain adjusting items required to present a meaningful comparable IFRS forward-looking financial measure. These items include fair value asset (liability) of hedges related to finance debt and cash and cash equivalents, that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in an IFRS estimate.
 
Gearing including leases and net debt including leases are non-IFRS measures. Net debt including leases is calculated as net debt plus lease liabilities, less the net amount of partner receivables and payables relating to leases entered into on behalf of joint operations. Gearing including leases is defined as the ratio of net debt including leases to the total of net debt including leases plus total equity. bp believes these measures provide useful information to investors as they enable investors to understand the impact of the group's lease portfolio on net debt and gearing. The nearest equivalent measures on an IFRS basis are finance debt and finance debt ratio. A reconciliation of finance debt to net debt including leases is provided on page 29.
 
Hydrocarbons - Liquids and natural gas. Natural gas is converted to oil equivalent at 5.8 billion cubic feet = 1 million barrels.
 
Inorganic capital expenditure is a subset of capital expenditure on a cash basis and a non-IFRS measure. Inorganic capital expenditure comprises consideration in business combinations and certain other significant investments made by the group. It is reported on a cash basis. bp believes that this measure provides useful information as it allows investors to understand how bp's management invests funds in projects which expand the group's activities through acquisition. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is capital expenditure on a cash basis. Further information and a reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 27.
 
Inventory holding gains and losses are non-IFRS adjustments to our IFRS profit (loss) and represent:
 
●      the difference between the cost of sales calculated using the replacement cost of inventory and the cost of sales calculated on the first-in first-out (FIFO) method after adjusting for any changes in provisions where the net realizable value of the inventory is lower than its cost. Under the FIFO method, which we use for IFRS reporting of inventories other than for trading inventories, the cost of inventory charged to the income statement is based on its historical cost of purchase or manufacture, rather than its replacement cost. In volatile energy markets, this can have a significant distorting effect on reported income. The amounts disclosed as inventory holding gains and losses represent the difference between the charge to the income statement for inventory on a FIFO basis (after adjusting for any related movements in net realizable value provisions) and the charge that would have arisen based on the replacement cost of inventory. For this purpose, the replacement cost of inventory is calculated using data from each operation's production and manufacturing system, either on a monthly basis, or separately for each transaction where the system allows this approach; and
 
●      an adjustment relating to certain trading inventories that are not price risk managed which relate to a minimum inventory volume that is required to be held to maintain underlying business activities. This adjustment represents the movement in fair value of the inventories due to prices, on a grade by grade basis, during the period. This is calculated from each operation's inventory management system on a monthly basis using the discrete monthly movement in market prices for these inventories.
 
The amounts disclosed are not separately reflected in the financial statements as a gain or loss. No adjustment is made in respect of the cost of inventories held as part of a trading position and certain other temporary inventory positions that are price risk-managed. See Replacement cost (RC) profit or loss definition below.
 
Liquids - Liquids comprises crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids. For the oil production & operations segment, it also includes bitumen.

Glossary (continued)
 
Major projects have a bp net investment of at least $250 million, or are considered to be of strategic importance to bp or of a high degree of complexity.
 
Operating cash flow is net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as stated in the condensed group cash flow statement.
 
Organic capital expenditure is a non-IFRS measure. Organic capital expenditure comprises capital expenditure on a cash basis less inorganic capital expenditure. bp believes that this measure provides useful information as it allows investors to understand how bp's management invests funds in developing and maintaining the group's assets. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is capital expenditure on a cash basis and a reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 27.
 
We are unable to present reconciliations of forward-looking information for organic capital expenditure to total cash capital expenditure, because without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to forecast accurately the adjusting item, inorganic capital expenditure, that is difficult to predict in advance in order to derive the nearest IFRS estimate.
 
Production-sharing agreement/contract (PSA/PSC) is an arrangement through which an oil and gas company bears the risks and costs of exploration, development and production. In return, if exploration is successful, the oil company receives entitlement to variable physical volumes of hydrocarbons, representing recovery of the costs incurred and a stipulated share of the production remaining after such cost recovery.
 
Realizations are the result of dividing revenue generated from hydrocarbon sales, excluding revenue generated from purchases made for resale and royalty volumes, by revenue generating hydrocarbon production volumes. Revenue generating hydrocarbon production reflects the bp share of production as adjusted for any production which does not generate revenue. Adjustments may include losses due to shrinkage, amounts consumed during processing, and contractual or regulatory host committed volumes such as royalties. For the gas & low carbon energy and oil production & operations segments, realizations include transfers between businesses.
 
Refining availability represents Solomon Associates' operational availability for bp-operated refineries, which is defined as the percentage of the year that a unit is available for processing after subtracting the annualized time lost due to turnaround activity and all mechanical, process and regulatory downtime.
 
Refining indicator margin (RIM) is a simple indicator of the weighted average of bp's crude slate and product yield as deemed representative for each refinery. Actual margins realized by bp may vary due to a variety of factors, including the actual mix of a crude and product for a given quarter.
 
The Refining marker margin (RMM) is the average of regional indicator margins weighted for bp's crude refining capacity in each region. Each regional marker margin is based on product yields and a marker crude oil deemed appropriate for the region. The regional indicator margins may not be representative of the margins achieved by bp in any period because of bp's particular refinery configurations and crude and product slate.
 
Replacement cost (RC) profit or loss / RC profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders reflects the replacement cost of inventories sold in the period and is calculated as profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders, adjusting for inventory holding gains and losses (net of tax). RC profit or loss for the group is not a recognized IFRS measure. bp believes this measure is useful to illustrate to investors the fact that crude oil and product prices can vary significantly from period to period and that the impact on our reported result under IFRS can be significant. Inventory holding gains and losses vary from period to period due to changes in prices as well as changes in underlying inventory levels. In order for investors to understand the operating performance of the group excluding the impact of price changes on the replacement of inventories, and to make comparisons of operating performance between reporting periods, bp's management believes it is helpful to disclose this measure. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders. A reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 1. RC profit or loss before interest and tax is bp's measure of profit or loss that is required to be disclosed for each operating segment under IFRS.
 
Solomon availability - See Refining availability definition.
 
Structural cost reduction is calculated as decreases in underlying operating expenditure* (as defined on page 39) as a result of operational efficiencies, divestments, workforce reductions and other cost saving measures that are expected to be sustainable compared with 2023 levels. The total change between periods in underlying operating expenditure 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. Estimates of cumulative annual structural cost reduction may be revised depending on whether cost reductions realized in prior periods are determined to be sustainable compared with 2023 levels. Structural cost reductions are stewarded internally to support management's oversight of spending over time.
bp believes this performance measure is useful in demonstrating how management drives cost discipline across the entire organization, simplifying our processes and portfolio and streamlining the way we work. The nearest IFRS measures are production and manufacturing expenses and distributions and administration expenses. A reconciliation of production and manufacturing expenses plus distribution and administration expenses to underlying operating expenditure is provided on page 31.

Technical service contract (TSC) - Technical service contract is an arrangement through which an oil and gas company bears the risks and costs of exploration, development and production. In return, the oil and gas company receives entitlement to variable physical volumes of hydrocarbons, representing recovery of the costs incurred and a profit margin which reflects incremental production added to the oilfield.
 
Tier 1 and tier 2 process safety events - Tier 1 events are losses of primary containment from a process of greatest consequence - causing harm to a member of the workforce, damage to equipment from a fire or explosion, a community impact or exceeding defined quantities. Tier 2 events are those of lesser consequence. These represent reported incidents occurring within bp's operational HSSE reporting boundary. That boundary includes bp's own operated facilities and certain other locations or situations. Reported process safety events are investigated throughout the year and as a result there may be changes in previously reported events. Therefore comparative movements are calculated against internal data reflecting the final outcomes of such investigations, rather than the previously reported comparative period, as this represents a more up to date reflection of the safety environment.
 
Underlying effective tax rate (ETR) is a non-IFRS measure. The underlying ETR is calculated by dividing taxation on an underlying replacement cost (RC) basis by underlying RC profit or loss before tax. Taxation on an underlying RC basis for the group is calculated as taxation as stated on the group income statement adjusted for taxation on inventory holding gains and losses and total taxation on adjusting items. Information on underlying RC profit or loss is provided below. Taxation on an underlying RC basis presented for the operating segments is calculated through an allocation of taxation on an underlying RC basis to each segment. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the underlying ETR because this measure may help investors to understand and evaluate, in the same manner as management, the underlying trends in bp's operational performance on a comparable basis, period on period. Taxation on an underlying RC basis and underlying ETR are non-IFRS measures. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is the ETR on profit or loss for the period.
 
We are unable to present reconciliations of forward-looking information for underlying ETR to ETR on profit or loss for the period, because without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to forecast accurately certain adjusting items required to present a meaningful comparable IFRS forward-looking financial measure. These items include the taxation on inventory holding gains and losses and adjusting items, that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in an IFRS estimate.
 
Underlying operating expenditure is a non-IFRS measure and a subset of production and manufacturing expenses plus distribution and administration expenses and excludes costs that are classified as adjusting items. It represents the majority of the remaining expenses in these line items but excludes certain costs that are variable, primarily with volumes (such as freight costs). Other variable costs are included in purchases in the income statement. Management believes that underlying operating expenditure is a performance measure that provides investors with useful information regarding the company's financial performance because it considers these expenses to be the principal operating and overhead expenses that are most directly under their control although they also include certain foreign exchange and commodity price effects. The nearest IFRS measures are production and manufacturing expenses and distribution and administration expenses. A reconciliation of production and manufacturing expenses plus distribution and administration expenses to underlying operating expenditure is provided on page 31.
 
Underlying production - 2025 underlying production, when compared with 2024, is production after adjusting for acquisitions and divestments, curtailments, and entitlement impacts in our production-sharing agreements/contracts and technical service contract*.
 
Underlying RC profit or loss / underlying RC profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders is a non-IFRS measure and is RC profit or loss* (as defined on page 38) after excluding net adjusting items and related taxation. See page 28 for additional information on the adjusting items that are used to arrive at underlying RC profit or loss in order to enable a full understanding of the items and their financial impact.
 
Underlying RC profit or loss before interest and tax for the operating segments or customers & products businesses is calculated as RC profit or loss (as defined above) including profit or loss attributable to non-controlling interests before interest and tax for the operating segments and excluding net adjusting items for the respective operating segment or business.
 
bp believes that underlying RC profit or loss is a useful measure for investors because it is a measure closely tracked by management to evaluate bp's operating performance and to make financial, strategic and operating decisions and because it may help investors to understand and evaluate, in the same manner as management, the underlying trends in bp's operational performance on a comparable basis, period on period, by adjusting for the effects of these adjusting items. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis for the group is profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis for segments and businesses is RC profit or loss before interest and taxation. A reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 1 for the group and pages 6-13 for the segments.
 
Underlying RC profit or loss per share / underlying RC profit or loss per ADS is a non-IFRS measure. Earnings per share is defined in Note 7. Underlying RC profit or loss per ordinary share is calculated using the same denominator as earnings per share as defined in the consolidated financial statements. The numerator used is underlying RC profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders, rather than profit or loss attributable to bp ordinary shareholders. Underlying RC profit or loss per ADS is calculated as outlined above for underlying RC profit or loss per share except the denominator is adjusted to reflect one ADS equivalent to six ordinary shares. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the underlying RC profit or loss per ordinary share and per ADS because these measures may help investors to understand and evaluate, in the same manner as management, the underlying trends in bp's operational performance on a comparable basis, period on period. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is basic earnings per share based on profit or loss for the period attributable to bp ordinary shareholders.

upstream includes oil and natural gas field development and production within the gas & low carbon energy and oil production & operations segments.
 
upstream/hydrocarbon plant reliability (bp-operated) is calculated taking 100% less the ratio of total unplanned plant deferrals divided by installed production capacity, excluding non-operated assets and bpx energy. Unplanned plant deferrals are associated with the topside plant and where applicable the subsea equipment (excluding wells and reservoir). Unplanned plant deferrals include breakdowns, which does not include Gulf of America weather related downtime.
 
upstream unit production costs are calculated as production cost divided by units of production. Production cost does not include ad valorem and severance taxes. Units of production are barrels for liquids and thousands of cubic feet for gas. Amounts disclosed are for bp subsidiaries only and do not include bp's share of equity-accounted entities.
 
Working capital is movements in inventories and other current and non-current assets and liabilities as reported in the condensed group cash flow statement.
 
Change in working capital adjusted for inventory holding gains/losses, fair value accounting effects relating to subsidiaries and other adjusting items is a non-IFRS measure. It is calculated by adjusting for inventory holding gains/losses reported in the period; fair value accounting effects relating to subsidiaries reported within adjusting items for the period; and other adjusting items relating to the non-cash movement of US emissions obligations carried as a provision that will be settled by allowances held as inventory. This represents what would have been reported as movements in inventories and other current and non-current assets and liabilities, if the starting point in determining net cash provided by operating activities had been underlying replacement cost profit rather than profit for the period. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis for this is movements in inventories and other current and non-current assets and liabilities.
 
bp utilizes various arrangements in order to manage its working capital including discounting of receivables and, in the supply and trading business, the active management of supplier payment terms, inventory and collateral.

Cautionary statement
 
In order to utilize the 'safe harbor' provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the 'PSLRA') and the general doctrine of cautionary statements, bp is providing the following cautionary statement:
The discussion in this announcement contains certain forecasts, projections and forward-looking statements - that is, statements related to future, not past events and circumstances - with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of bp and certain of the plans and objectives of bp with respect to these items. These statements may generally, but not always, be identified by the use of words such as 'will', 'expects', 'is expected to', 'aims', 'should', 'may', 'objective', 'is likely to', 'intends', 'believes', 'anticipates', 'plans', 'we see', 'focus on' or similar expressions.
In particular, the following, among other statements, are all forward-looking in nature: plans, expectations and assumptions regarding oil and gas demand, supply, prices or volatility; expectations regarding production and volumes; expectations regarding turnaround and maintenance activity; plans and expectations regarding bp's balance sheet, financial performance, results of operations, cost reduction, cash flows, and shareholder returns; plans and expectations regarding the amount and timing of dividends, share buybacks, and dividend reinvestment programs; plans and expectations regarding bp's upstream production; plans and expectations regarding the amount, timing, quantum and nature of certain acquisitions, divestments and related payments; plans and expectations regarding bp's net debt , investment strategy, capital expenditures, capital frame, underlying effective tax rate, and depreciation, depletion and amortization; plans and expectations regarding Albert Manifold joining bp's board and related timing; plans and expectations regarding a review of bp's portfolio of businesses and a further cost review including the outcomes of those reviews; expectations regarding bp's tax liabilities and future impact of German tax legislation on bp's results of operations, financial position and tax obligations; expectations regarding bp's customers business, including with respect to volumes and fuel margins; expectations regarding bp's products, including underlying performance, refinery turnaround activity, refining margins and operations; expectations regarding bp's other businesses & corporate underlying annual charge; expectations regarding Gulf of America settlement payments; expectations regarding improvements associated with bp's transition to a refining indicator margin (RIM) and the associated refining rule of thumb (RoT); expectations regarding TPAO's participation in the Shafag-Asiman production-sharing agreement; expectations regarding bp's low carbon energy business, including the JERA Nex bp offshore wind joint venture, bp's plans to sell its US onshore wind business and timing of completion, and bp's plans to exit the Australian Renewable Energy Hub project; expectations regarding the Agogo Integrated West Hub Project; expectations regarding the Gajajeira-01 exploration well, including initial assessments of the gas volumes in place; plans and expectations in relation to the discovery in the Bumerangue block including the outcome of laboratory testing of hydrocarbon samples and the potential of the discovery; expectations regarding bp's investment in the Atlantis Major Facility Expansion Project; expectations regarding bp's plans to sell its Netherlands mobility & convenience and bp pulse businesses, including timing of completion of the divestment; expectations regarding bp's plans to sell its mobility and convenience business in Austria, including timing of the divestment; expectations regarding sale of certain assets of Lightsource bp, including timing of completion of the sale; and expectations regarding the principal risks and uncertainties affecting bp.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will or may occur in the future and are outside the control of bp.
