bp reported sharply stronger results for Q2 and the first half of 2026. Profit attributable to shareholders was $3,911 million for the quarter and $7,753 million for the half year, up from $1,629 million and $2,316 million a year earlier. Underlying replacement cost (RC) profit* reached $5,732 million in Q2 and $8,930 million for the half year, compared with $2,353 million and $3,734 million in 2025. Sales and other operating revenues were $69,105 million in Q2 2026, and operating cash flow rose to $10,858 million for the quarter and $13,718 million for the half year. Net debt* stood at $22,251 million at 30 June 2026, with gearing at 22.6%, and bp announced a dividend of 8.660 cents per ordinary share.
All three segments contributed to the earnings step-up. Q2 underlying RC profit before interest and tax was $2,122 million in gas & low carbon energy, $3,581 million in oil production & operations, and $4,954 million in customers & products, driven by higher liquids and gas realizations and significantly stronger realized refining margins and trading. However, upstream production was 2,201mboe/d versus 2,300mboe/d a year earlier, bp‑operated upstream plant reliability declined to 92.4%, and Tier 1 and 2 process safety events increased to 18 from 5. Net impairment and related charges were $1,100 million in Q2. bp updated 2026 guidance to reported upstream production of 2,180–2,270mboe/d, capital expenditure of $13.5–14.0 billion, divestment and other proceeds of $8–9 billion (including around $6 billion from the Castrol transaction), and an underlying effective tax rate* of 35–40%.

Operating cash flow was $10.9 billion in Q2 and $13.7 billion for the first half, driven by higher refining margins, liquids realizations and oil trading.
All three operating segments improved. In Q2, underlying RC profit before interest and tax was $2.1 billion in Gas & low carbon energy, $3.6 billion in Oil production & operations and $5.0 billion in Customers & products. Strong cash generation helped reduce net debt to $22.3 billion, down from $25.3 billion at the end of Q1 2026 and $26.0 billion a year earlier, after a $2.9 billion hybrid bond redemption and $1.1 billion of Gulf of America settlement payments. The quarterly dividend was increased 4% to 8.66 cents per ordinary share.
Operational metrics weakened, with upstream plant reliability at 92.4% versus 95.7% in Q1 and tier 1 and 2 process safety events rising to 18. Group upstream production was 2,201 mboe/d and refinery availability 94.7%, both below prior periods. Impairments and losses on sales totaled $1.1 billion in Q2. BP continued reshaping its portfolio, completing the Gelsenkirchen refinery sale, agreeing to divest Austrian retail operations and progressing planned sales of its North Sea business, Archaea Energy and a 65% stake in Castrol.
