Total equity oil and gas production averaged 2,165 mboe per day, 3% above Q2 2025, while renewable power generation reached 0.91 TWh, up 11%.

Filing Explained

Portfolio change is partly completed: Argentina was sold, while Equinor’s remaining Peregrino interest remains held for sale pending approvals.

Equinor completed the sale of its Argentine onshore interests on 7 May 2026, transferring those assets and recording consideration valued at USD 1,425 million, including cash, Vista Energy shares and contingent consideration.

The filing separately reports an agreement to sell Equinor’s remaining 20% interest in Brazil’s Peregrino field, but that transaction remains subject to regulatory and legal approvals; the related held-for-sale assets were USD 919 million at 30 June 2026, with USD 178 million of associated liabilities.

In plain terms, the Argentina disposal is completed, while the Peregrino transaction is not: one portfolio change has closed and the other remains pending.

At 30 June 2026, cash and cash equivalents were USD 8,062 million, compared with USD 5,036 million at 31 December 2025, while shareholders’ equity reflected USD 3,299 million of 2026 share buy-backs through the first half.

A separate lawsuit seeking annulment of Equinor’s 2016 acquisition of an interest in Brazil’s BM-S-8 closed on 20 July 2026 after no further appeal was filed, with no material financial impact reported.

DISCLOSURES
More energy through strong production
Equinor delivered high production in the second
quarter with a total equity production of 2,165 mboe
per day in the second quarter. This is a 3% increase
compared to 2,096 mboe per day in the same
quarter last year.
Production from new fields, including Eirin and
Symra coming on stream, drove a 4% production
increase on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS)
compared to the second quarter of 2025. Johan
Sverdrup and new wells supported the production,
while planned turnaround activity and natural decline
partially offset the result.
The addition of production from Adura in the UK and
the Bacalhau field in Brazil, as well as lower
turnaround activity, contributed to a 4% production
increase in the international oil and gas reporting
segment compared to the same period last year.
This was partially offset by portfolio changes, in
addition to natural decline and operational issues at
Roncador in Brazil.
The production in the US was stable in the quarter
compared to the same quarter last year.
Total power generation was 1.19 TWh. Driven by
Dogger Bank B and new onshore assets, renewable
power generation increased by 11% compared to the
second quarter of 2025. The increase in total power
generation was partially offset by lower gas-to-power
generation.
Growing cash flow with strong financial
results
Equinor delivered an adjusted operating income* of
USD 11.48 billion and USD 3.44 billion after tax* in
the second quarter. The results are primarily
impacted by higher liquid prices globally and
European gas prices, partially offset by lower US gas
prices.
The reported net operating income of USD 12.99
billion is up from USD 5.72 billion in the same
quarter last year. Results were supported by higher
prices, positive derivative effects and the sale of
assets in Argentina.
Equinor realised a European gas price of USD 15.8
per mmbtu and a liquids price of USD 97.9 per bbl in
the second quarter.
The Marketing, Midstream and Processing results
were strong, primarily driven by strong crude trading
and refining performance.
Adjusted operating and administrative expenses*
were higher compared to the same quarter last year.
This was mainly due to higher transportation costs
from increased freight rates and currency effects.
High production combined with higher prices
generated cash flows provided by operating
activities, before taxes paid and working capital
items, of USD 14.75 billion.
In the quarter, Equinor paid the final three NCS tax
instalments for 2025 totalling USD 6.4 billion.
Cash flow from operations after taxes paid* ended at
USD 7.68 billion.
Organic capital expenditure* was USD 3.35 billion
and total capital expenditures were USD 3.57 billion.
The net debt to capital employed adjusted ratio* was
10.4% at the end of the second quarter, compared to
15.3% last quarter.
Executing on strategy
On the NCS, Equinor awarded contracts for the first
wave of NCS tie-back projects and secured a series
of strategic transactions to unlock additional value,
accelerate development and strengthen the position
in key areas.
Moreover, production started at both the Symra and
the Eirin field, of which the latter is expected to
extend the production from the Gina Krog platform
by seven years.
In the quarter, Equinor, together with partners, took a
final investment decision for the offshore oil
development Greater PAJ project in Angola.
Equinor had exploration activity on ten wells in the
quarter. Seven wells were completed, of which three 
appraisal wells on the NCS confirm previously
reported commercial discoveries.

Operations and financial results
Equinor delivered strong production in the second
quarter of 2026 amid seasonal turnaround activity,
capturing value from high prices and realising strong
financial results.
In E&P Norway, the ramp-up of the Johan Castberg,
Halten East and Verdande fields drove higher
production in both the second quarter and first half of
2026 compared to the same periods last year.
Production in the quarter was further supported by
strong contributions from Johan Sverdrup and new
wells brought on stream, while natural decline and
planned turnarounds partially offset the increase.
Production in E&P USA remained broadly stable in
the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same
quarter last year. Increased operational activity in the
Appalachian region earlier in the year and new
offshore wells more than offset natural decline,
resulting in higher production for the first half of
2026.
An increased number of assets following the
formation of Adura, together with the start-up of
production from Bacalhau in the fourth quarter of
2025, contributed to higher E&P International
production in both the second quarter and first half of
2026. The increase was partially offset by the sale of
the 40% operated interest in Peregrino in late 2025
and the divestment of Argentina onshore assets in
the quarter.
Renewable power generation increased by 11% in
the second quarter and 19% in the first half of 2026
compared to the same periods last year, supported
by the ramp-up of Dogger Bank and contributions
from the newly operational asset Serra da Babilônia
Solar. The increase in renewable generation more

than offset lower gas-to-power generation, resulting
in higher total power generation in both periods.
In the second quarter, Marketing, Midstream and
Processing delivered strong results amid geopolitical
market volatility, primarily driven by Crude, Products
and Liquids through high physical margins in crude
trading and strong shipping optimisation. Strong
European refining margins also contributed to group
performance.
Revenue for the second quarter and first half of 2026
increased compared to the same periods last year,
mainly driven by higher commodity prices, despite
reduced sales of third-party volumes.
Operating and administrative expenses increased in
the quarter and first half of 2026, largely driven by
higher transportation costs from increased freight
rates, and other variable elements. The increase
was further impacted by the strengthening of the
NOK against the USD. Portfolio changes in E&P
International partially offset the increase. For the first
half of 2026, reduced business development and
early-phase project activity within the power and low
carbon solutions businesses also partially offset the
increase.
The ramp-up of new fields on the NCS and
strengthening of the NOK against the USD
contributed to higher depreciation in the quarter and
first half of 2026. The increase was partially offset by
increased proved reserves and the classification of
certain E&P International assets as held for sale.
Exploration expenses increased in the second
quarter and first half of 2026 compared to the same
periods last year, mainly due to higher field
development costs across the portfolio, partially
offset by a higher capitalisation rate in E&P Norway.
In the second quarter, net operating income included
a gain on the sale of Argentina onshore assets and
an impairment related to an onshore asset in
Norway.
Net financial items was slightly lower in the second
quarter of 2026 compared to the same quarter last
year, but increased in the first half of 2026 relative to
the same period last year, benefitting from positive
fair value development on financial investments
earlier in the year.
Taxes
The effective reported tax rate of 62.9% for the
second quarter of 2026 decreased compared to
77.1% in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease
was mainly due to lower share of income from NCS,
subject to the statutory tax rate of 78%.
For the same reason, effective reported tax rate
decreased from 73.1% in the first half of 2025 to
65.1% in the first half of 2026.
Cash flow and net debt
High commodity prices, combined with strong
production, generated cash flow provided by
operating activities before taxes paid and working
capital items of USD 14,752 million in the quarter, up
from USD 9,167 million in the same period last year.
Cash flow from operations after taxes paid*
increased to USD 7,677 million from USD 1,938
million in the same quarter last year, mainly
reflecting higher income before tax. For the first half
of 2026, cash flow from operations after taxes paid*
increased to USD 13,696 million compared to USD
9,332 million in the same period last year.
Tax payments in the second quarter totalled USD
7,075 million, compared with USD 7,229 million in
the same period last year. The payments mainly
represented the final three scheduled Norwegian
corporation tax instalments related to 2025 earnings.
NCS instalments related to 2026 earnings are
scheduled with five instalments in the second half of
2026 and five instalments in the first half of 2027.
The first instalment is due 1 August 2026 with a total
amount of NOK 23.3 billion.
A working capital decrease of USD 1,793 million
positively impacted cash flow in the second quarter
of 2026, mainly reflecting lower inventory and
receivable balances driven by price and volume
effects during the quarter.
Net cash flow before capital distribution* increased
from USD 2,947 million in the first quarter to USD
5,484 million in the second quarter, mainly due to
higher cash flow from operations after taxes paid*.
The divestment of onshore assets in Argentina also
contributed to the increase in the quarter.
In the second quarter, net cash flow* amounted to an
inflow of USD 4,430 million, after capital distributions
of USD 1,054 million. This compares with an outflow
of USD 2,579 million in the same quarter last year.
A decrease in net interest-bearing debt adjusted*,
mainly due to higher cash, cash equivalents and
current financial investments, reduced the net debt
to capital employed adjusted* ratio at the end of
June 2026 to 10.4%, from 15.3% at the end of March
2026. The reduction was partially offset by a USD
2,821 million liability to the state, which was settled
in July. The liability relates to share buy-backs for the
second to fourth tranches of the 2025 programme
and the first tranche of the 2026 programme. These
share buy-backs were approved at the general
meeting held on 12 May 2026. Equity was impacted
by capital distributions of USD 5.1 billion, comprising
dividends from the previous two quarters of USD 1.9
billion and share buy-back of USD 3.2 billion,
including the liability to the state.
Capital distribution
The board of directors has decided a cash dividend
of USD 0.39 per share for the second quarter 2026.
This is in line with the communication on 4 February
2026, when results for the fourth quarter of 2025
were announced. 
At the Capital Markets Day on 16 June this year,
Equinor announced an intention to increase the
share buy-back programme for 2026 by USD 1.5
billion. This brings the total expected programme for
2026 to up to USD 3 billion, including shares to be
redeemed from the Norwegian State. The board has
decided to initiate a third tranche of the share buy-
back programme for 2026 of up to USD 1,125
million. The tranche will commence on 23 July and
end no later than 26 October 2026.
The second tranche of the share buy-back
programme for 2026 was completed on 16 July 2026
with a total value of USD 375 million.
All share buy-back amounts include shares to be
redeemed by the Norwegian State.
Health, safety and the environment
The twelve-month average serious incident
frequency (SIF) for the period ending 30 June 2026
was 0.25, an increase from 2025 which ended at
0.21.
Equinor’s absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions
from operated production (100% basis) were 5.0
million tonnes CO₂e in the first half of 2026,
representing an increase of 0.1 million tonnes CO₂e
compared to the same period last year. The increase
was primarily driven by the start-up at Bacalhau, as
well as higher production at Hammerfest LNG
following the 2025 turnaround. This was partially
offset by operatorship transfers within the
international portfolio, including Mariner and
Peregrino.

Outlook
•Organic capital expenditures* are estimated at
around USD 13 billion for 20261.
•Oil & gas production for 2026 is estimated to
grow around 3% compared to 2025 level [4].
•Equinor’s ambition is to keep the unit of
production cost in the top quartile of its peer
group.
•Scheduled maintenance activity is estimated to
reduce equity production by around 35 mboe per
day for the full year of 2026.
These forward-looking statements reflect current
views about future events and are, by their nature,
subject to significant risks and uncertainties because
they relate to events and depend on circumstances
that will occur in the future. Deferral of production to
create future value, gas off-take, timing of new
capacity coming on stream and operational regularity
and levels of industry product supply, demand and
pricing represent the most significant risks related to
the foregoing production guidance. Our future
financial performance, including cash flow and
liquidity, will be affected by geopolitical and
macroeconomic conditions, changes in the
regulatory and policy landscape, the development in
realised prices, including price differentials, tolls and
tariffs and other factors discussed elsewhere in the
report.
Risk and uncertainties
The description of key risks in chapter 5.2 (Risk
Factors) of Equinor's Integrated Annual Report for
the year ended 31 December 2025 provides an
overview of the principal risks and uncertainties
which may affect Equinor in the remaining six
months of the financial year. The Value chain risks,
Safety, security and sustainability risks, and
Compliance and business integrity  risks described
therein and summarised in the section “Forward
Looking Statements” in the Supplementary
disclosures could, separately or in combination, have
an adverse effect on our operational and financial
performance (including cash flows and liquidity), the
implementation of our strategy, our reputation and
the market price of our securities.

Production and revenues
In the second quarter of 2026, solid production levels
led to an increase in production compared to the
same quarter last year. The increase was driven by
ramp‑up of new fields, primarily Johan Castberg,
Halten East and Verdande, and new wells, partially
offset by planned turnarounds and natural decline in
mature fields. Liquids production increased more
than gas in the quarter, reflecting the higher share of
liquids in production from the new fields.
Strong production in the first quarter of 2026 with no 
turnarounds contributed to the marked increase in
production when comparing the first half of 2026 to
the same period last year.
A robust production level and increased gas and
liquids prices resulted in higher total revenues and
other income during the second quarter of 2026 and
the first half of 2026, relative to the corresponding
periods in 2025.
Operating expenses and financial results
Higher environmental costs and increased electricity
prices were the primary drivers of higher total
operating expenses in the second quarter and first
half of 2026 compared to the same periods last year,
further impacted by the strengthening of the NOK
against the USD. There was a significant overlift
effect in the second quarter of 2025 which partially
offset the relative increase.
Ramp-up of new fields, field-specific investments
and strengthening of the NOK against the USD led
to higher depreciation and amortisation costs in the
second quarter of 2026 compared to the same
period last year, partially offset by increased proved
reserves. The same factors drove the increase for
the first half of 2026 relative to the first half of 2025.
The exploration activity in the second quarter of
2026 was lower than in the same quarter last year,
with activity related to seven wells, including three
successful appraisal wells. A higher capitalisation
rate led to a decrease in exploration expenses,
which was partially offset by increased field
development costs. For the first half of 2026, higher
drilling expenditure, together with the factors
mentioned above, resulted in stable costs compared
to the same period in 2025.
In the first half of 2025, net operating income
included a gain related to the swap transaction with
Petoro of USD 491 million.
Additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted
investments in the second quarter of 2026 were
significantly impacted by the USD/NOK exchange
rate development. The first half of 2026 was
positively impacted by a settlement related to the
Hugin unit; however, additions overall decreased
from 2025 to 2026, mainly driven by the assets
acquired in the swap transaction with Petoro in the
first half of 2025, amounting to USD 1,086 million.

Production and revenues
An increased number of assets following the
formation of Adura, together with the start-up of
Bacalhau in the fourth quarter of 2025, led to an
increase in equity production in the second quarter
and first half of 2026 compared to the same periods
last year. Lower turnaround activities further
contributed to the increase. The increase was
partially offset by the sale of the 40% operated
interest in Peregrino in November 2025 and the
Argentina onshore assets in May 2026. Furthermore,
operational issues at Roncador and natural
production decline in certain fields negatively
impacted overall production volumes in the second
quarter and the first half of 2026.
Production Sharing Agreements (PSA) effects
increased in the second quarter and the first half of
2026 compared to the same periods last year mainly
due to higher liquids prices.
Higher prices, together with an overlift timing effect,
contributed positively to adjusted total revenues and
other income* in the second quarter and the first half
of 2026 compared to the same periods last year.
Operating expenses and financial results
Operating and administrative expenses were higher
in the second quarter and the first half of 2026
compared to the same periods last year, primarily
due to increased operating costs following the start-
up of production at Bacalhau in the fourth quarter of
2025, as well as higher royalties and variations in the
over/underlift position.
The increase was partially offset by the sale of the
40% operated interest in the Peregrino field and the
transfer of UK assets to Adura.
The classification of the Argentina onshore assets as
held for sale from February 2026 until their
divestment in May 2026, together with the
divestment of the 40% operated interest in the
Peregrino field in November 2025 and the
classification of the remaining 20% interest as held
for sale since May 2025, resulted in lower
depreciation in the second quarter and the first half
of 2026 compared to the corresponding periods in
2025.
Increased early phase costs related to a project in
Canada led to higher exploration expenses in the
second quarter and first half of 2026 compared to
the corresponding periods last year.
Net operating income in the second quarter of 2026
and first half of 2026 was positively impacted by a
gain on the sale of the Argentina onshore assets of
USD 467 million.
Additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted
investments decreased in the second quarter and
first half of 2026, reflecting lower development
expenditure following the start-up of Bacalhau, as
well as reduced investments in the Argentina
onshore assets and Peregrino after their
classification as held for sale.

E&P USA reported stable production volumes in the
second quarter of 2026 compared with the
corresponding period in 2025. Lower onshore
production due to curtailments in Appalachia North in
response to low basin prices was offset by slightly
higher US offshore production from new wells
brought on stream since the second quarter of 2025. 
In the first half of 2026, E&P USA reported higher
production volumes, compared with the
corresponding period in 2025, as increased
operational activity in Appalachia and production
from new offshore wells more than offset natural field
decline.
In the second quarter of 2026, higher liquids prices
more than offset lower natural gas prices, while
production volumes remained stable, resulting in
higher total revenues and other income compared
with the same period in 2025.  For the first half of
2026, higher liquids and natural gas prices,
combined with higher production volumes, resulted
in higher total revenues and other income compared
with the corresponding period in 2025.
Operating expenses and financial results
Operating and administrative expenses decreased in
the second quarter and the first half of 2026
compared with the corresponding periods in 2025,
primarily due to a favourable legal outcome related
to a divested legacy asset in the first quarter of 2026
and lower costs associated with a late-life asset that
ceased production in the second half of 2025.
The decrease in depreciation, amortisation and net
impairment charges compared with the second
quarter and first half of 2025 was primarily
attributable to the impact of a revised abandonment
cost estimate for a late-life asset recognised in the
comparative period. The decrease was further
supported by increased proved reserves at year-end
2025 and impairments recognised in 2025 on assets
with higher depreciation rates.
Exploration expenses were higher in the second
quarter and first half of 2026 compared with the
corresponding periods in 2025, primarily due to
additional seismic acquisitions. No exploration wells
were drilled in any of the periods.
Additions to PP&E, intangible assets and equity
accounted investments were higher in the second
quarter and the first half of 2026 compared with the
corresponding periods in 2025, primarily reflecting
continued development of the Sparta field, increased
drilling activity in the US onshore portfolio and recent
US offshore lease acquisitions.

2) Previously named Gas and Power.
Volumes, pricing and revenues
Liquids sales volumes decreased compared to both
the previous quarter and the first half of last year due
to lower sales of third-party volumes.
Gas sales volumes decreased compared to the
previous quarter due to seasonal maintenance on
the Norwegian continental shelf, but increased
compared to the first half of last year due to higher
Equinor international gas production.
The realised European piped gas price increased
compared to both the previous quarter and the same
quarter last year, in line with higher market prices
caused by LNG supply disruption following the
closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Lower EU gas
storage levels also supported the increase compared
to the same quarter last year.
The realised piped gas price in the US decreased
from the high price of the first quarter, which was
driven by extreme cold weather. The realised US
piped gas price declined compared to the same
quarter last year, mainly driven by increased gas
production and the growing share of renewable
energy in the power market.
Financial results
In the second quarter of 2026, Crude, Products and
Liquids was the main contributor to adjusted
operating income*, supported by high physical
margins in crude trading and strong results from
shipping optimisation, in an environment impacted
by supply disruption caused by the closure of the
Strait of Hormuz. Gas and LNG also contributed
positively, driven by optimisation of piped gas sales
in Europe and LNG trading. Strong European
refining margins and stable operations drove the
high result in the Other subsegment.
Adjusted operating income* remained at a similar
level compared to the prior quarter. Strong results
from crude trading, shipping optimisation and high
refining margins were offset by lower results from
products and LPG trading.
Adjusted operating income* for the first half of 2026
was higher than the same period last year across all
subsegments. The increase was primarily driven by
stronger trading results in Crude, Products and
Liquids and Gas and LNG, together with higher
refining margins and lower costs related to
developing low carbon projects. The first half of 2026
was impacted by high shipping rates.
Net operating income includes the net effect of fair
value changes in storages, fair value changes in
embedded and hedge derivatives, changes in
onerous provisions and impairments.
Additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted
investments in the first half of 2026 included new
leases for two LNG vessels.

Power generation
The increase in renewable power generation during
the second quarter of 2026 and first half of 2026,
relative to the corresponding periods in 2025, was
primarily attributable to the ramp-up of Dogger Bank
B and contributions from the newly operational asset
Serra da Babilônia Solar. Lower gas-to-power
generation partially offset the increase in total power
generation.
Financial results
Adjusted operating loss* in the second quarter of
2026 reflected solid trading and optimisation results,
driven by favourable market conditions, weather-
driven volatility and value capture across power
markets. Producing assets were impacted by
seasonal wind conditions and maintenance activity
during the summer season, while early-phase project
development costs reflected continued growth
activity across the portfolio.
Stronger power trading results and a favourable one-
off event related to insurance reduced the adjusted
operating loss* compared to the same quarter last
year. Results from producing assets remained
broadly stable, and project development costs were
also in line with the second quarter of 2025.
For the first half of 2026, the adjusted operating loss*
declined compared to the same period last year,
driven by the same factors as in the second quarter,
as well as lower early-phase project costs.
Net operating income includes fair value changes in
derivatives. The second quarter of 2025 included an
impairment loss of USD 955 million related to US
offshore wind projects.
Additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity accounted
investments in the second quarter of 2026 were
mainly related to the Empire Wind project in the US.
With effect from the first quarter of 2026, the new
Power business area (PWR) is presented as a
reportable segment in Equinor’s financial statements.
The PWR business area is responsible for all power
activities, including the activities formerly included in
Renewables (REN) and flexible power assets
transferred from the business area Marketing,
Midstream and Processing (MMP), as well as Danske
Commodities’ power trading business.

STATEMENTS AND NOTES

DISCLOSURES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organisation and basis of preparation
Organisation and principal activities
Equinor Group (Equinor) consists of Equinor ASA
and its subsidiaries. Equinor ASA is incorporated and
domiciled in Norway and listed on the Oslo Børs
(Norway) and the New York Stock Exchange (USA).
The registered office address is Forusbeen 50,
N-4035, Stavanger, Norway.
The objective of Equinor is to develop, produce and
market various forms of energy and derived products
and services, as well as other businesses. The
activities may also be carried out through
participation in or cooperation with other companies.
Equinor Energy AS, a 100% owned operating
subsidiary of Equinor ASA and owner of all of
Equinor's oil and gas activities and net assets on the
Norwegian continental shelf, is a co-obligor or
guarantor of certain debt obligations of Equinor ASA.
Equinor's condensed interim financial statements for
the second quarter of 2026 were authorised for issue
by the board of directors on 21 July 2026.
Basis of preparation
These condensed interim financial statements are
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial
Reporting as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the
European Union (EU). The condensed interim
financial statements do not include all the
information and disclosures required by IFRS®
Accounting Standards for a complete set of financial
statements and should be read in conjunction with
the Consolidated annual financial statements for
2025. IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the
EU differs in certain respects from IFRS Accounting
Standards as issued by the IASB, however the
differences do not impact Equinor's financial
statements for the periods presented.
Certain amounts in the comparable years have been
reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
As a result of rounding differences, numbers or
percentages may not add up to the total.
The condensed interim financial statements are
unaudited.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of
the condensed interim financial statements are
consistent with those applied in the preparation of
Equinor’s consolidated annual financial statements
as at, and for the year ended, 31 December 2025.
A description of the material accounting policies is
included in Equinor’s consolidated annual financial
statements for 2025. When determining fair value,
there have been no changes to the valuation
techniques or models and Equinor applies the same
sources of input and the same criteria for
categorisation in the fair value hierarchy as disclosed
in the Consolidated annual financial statements for
2025.
For information about IFRS Accounting Standards,
amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards and
IFRIC® Interpretations effective from 1 January
2026, that could affect the consolidated financial
statements, please refer to note 2 in Equinor’s
consolidated annual financial statements for 2025.
None of the amendments to IFRS Accounting
Standards effective from 1 January 2026 have had a
significant impact on the condensed interim financial
statements. Equinor has not early adopted any IFRS
Accounting Standards, amendments to IFRS
Accounting Standards or IFRIC Interpretations
issued but not yet effective.
Use of judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with IFRS Accounting Standards requires
management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and
associated assumptions are reviewed on an on-
going basis and are based on historical experience
and various other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. These
estimates and assumptions form the basis for
making judgments about carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates. Please refer to
note 2 in Equinor’s consolidated annual financial
statements for 2025 for more information about
accounting judgement and key sources of estimation
uncertainty.

Note 2. Segments
Equinor’s operations are organised into business areas
and followed up through operating segments in order to
effectively manage and execute our strategy, including
the ability to measure the progress of the business
against its strategic goals. The operating segments are
defined based on the components of Equinor that are
regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker,
Equinor's Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
With effect from the first quarter 2026, the Power
business area (PWR) is presented as a reportable
segment in Equinor’s financial statements. PWR is
responsible for all power activities, including the activities
formerly included in Renewables (REN), flexible power
assets transferred from the business area Marketing,
Midstream and Processing (MMP), as well as Danske
Commodities’ power trading business, formerly included
in MMP. Restated historical figures are shown in the
tables following the comparative quarterly segment
tables.
The following reportable segments correspond to the
operating segments: Exploration & Production Norway
(E&P Norway), Exploration & Production International
(E&P International), Exploration & Production USA (E&P
USA), Marketing, Midstream & Processing (MMP) and
Power (PWR). Based on materiality considerations, the
remaining business areas Projects, Drilling &
Procurement (PDP) and Technology, Digital & Innovation
(TDI), as well as Corporate staff and functions, are
aggregated into the reportable segment Other. The
majority of the costs in PDP and TDI is allocated to the
three Exploration & Production segments, MMP and
PWR.
The accounting policies of the reporting segments are
consistent with those described in these Consolidated
financial statements, except for the following:
movements related to changes in asset retirement
obligations are excluded from the line item Additions to
PP&E, intangibles and Equity accounted investments,
and provisions for onerous contracts reflect only
obligations towards group external parties. The
measurement basis of segment profit is net operating
income/(loss). Deferred tax assets, pension assets, non-
current financial assets, total current assets and total
liabilities are not allocated to the segments. Transactions
between the segments, mainly from the sale of crude oil,
gas, and related products, are performed at defined
internal prices which have been derived from market
prices. The transactions are eliminated upon
consolidation.

The effective tax rate of 62.9% for the second quarter of 2026 decreased compared to 77.1% in 2025. The
decrease was mainly due to lower share of income from NCS, subject to the statutory tax rate of 78%. Effective
reported tax rate of 65.1% for the first half of 2026, decreased compared to 73.1% in the first half of 2025, also due
to the lower share of income from NCS.
Note 7. Capital distribution
Dividend for the second quarter 2026
On 21 July 2026, the board of directors resolved to declare a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2026 of USD
0.39 per share. The Equinor shares will trade ex-dividend 13 November 2026 on the Oslo Børs and 16 November
for ADR holders on the New York Stock Exchange. Payment date will be 25 November 2026.
Share buy-back programme 2026
Based on the authorisation from the annual general meeting on 12 May 2026, the board of directors will, on a
quarterly basis, decide on share buy-back tranches. On 16 June 2026, Equinor announced an intention to increase
the share buy-back programme for 2026 by USD 1.5 billion to up to USD 3.0 billion, including shares to be
redeemed from the Norwegian state.
In the first quarter of 2026, Equinor launched the first tranche of USD 375 million, of which USD 124 million was
acquired in the market in first quarter. In May 2026, Equinor launched a second tranche of USD 375 million,
including shares to be redeemed from the Norwegian state, and entered into an irrevocable agreement with a third
party to purchase shares for USD 124 million in the market. Of this second tranche, shares for USD 83 million have
been purchased in the market and settled as of 30 June 2026.
On 21 July 2026, the board of directors resolved to initiate a third share buy-back tranche of up to USD 1,125
million for 2026, including shares to be redeemed from the Norwegian state. This third tranche will start 23 July
2026 and end no later than 26 October 2026.
In order to maintain the Norwegian state’s ownership share in Equinor, a proportionate share of the second, third
and fourth tranches of the 2025 programme as well as the first tranche of the 2026 programme was redeemed and
cancelled through a capital reduction by the annual general meeting on 12 May 2026. The liability to the Norwegian
state of USD 3,052 million (NOK 28 billion) following the capital reduction has been recognised as reduction in
shareholders’ equity and was settled in July 2026. A proportionate share of the second and third tranches of the
2026 programme will be redeemed and cancelled at the annual general meeting in May 2027.

Note 8. Subsequent events
Suit for an annulment of Petrobras’ sale of the interest in BM-S-8 to Equinor
In March 2017, an individual connected to the Union of Oil Workers of Sergipe (Sindipetro) filed a class action suit
against Petrobras, Equinor, and ANP - the Brazilian Regulatory Agency - to seek annulment of Petrobras’ sale of
the interest and operatorship in BM-S-8 to Equinor, which was closed in November 2016 after approval by the
partners and authorities. During the last years, court decisions that confirm Equinor’s position have been issued at
the first and second court instance levels. The plaintiff still had the possibility of a narrower scope appeal. On 20
July 2026, Equinor received a confirmation that the plaintiff had not appealed within the deadline and the case is
now closed with no material financial impact for Equinor.

Use and reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial
measures
Non-GAAP financial measures are defined as
numerical measures that either exclude or include
amounts that are not excluded or included in the
comparable measures calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP (i.e., IFRS Accounting
Standards in the case of Equinor). The following
financial measures included in this report may be
considered non-GAAP financial measures:
Adjusted operating income is based on net
operating income/ (loss) and adjusts for certain items
affecting the income for the period to separate out
effects that management considers may not be well
correlated to Equinor’s underlying operational
performance in the individual reporting period.
Management believes adjusted operating income
provides an indication of Equinor’s underlying
operational performance and facilitates comparison
of operational trends between periods.
Adjusted operating income after tax equals
adjusted operating income less tax on adjusted
operating income. Tax on adjusted operating income
is computed by adjusting the income tax for tax
effects of adjustments made to net operating
income. The tax rate applied is the tax rate
applicable to each adjusting item and tax regime,
adjusted for certain foreign currency effects as well
as effects of specific changes to deferred tax assets.
Management believes adjusted operating income
after tax provides an indication of Equinor’s
underlying operational performance after tax and
facilitates comparisons of operational trends after tax
between periods as it reflects the tax charge
associated with operational performance excluding
the impact of financing. Tax on adjusted operating
income should not be considered indicative of the
amount of current or total tax expense (or taxes
payable) for the period.
Adjusted net income is based on net income/(loss)
and provides additional transparency to Equinor’s
underlying financial performance by also including
net financial items and the associated tax effects.
This measure includes adjustments made to arrive at
adjusted operating income after tax, in addition to
specific adjustments related to net financial items
and related tax effects, as well as certain
adjustments to income tax as described below.
Management believes this measure provides an
indication of Equinor’s underlying financial
performance including the impact from financing and
facilitates comparison of trends between periods.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Adjusted EPS) is
computed by dividing Adjusted net income by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the period. Earnings per share is a metric that
is frequently used by investors, analysts and other
parties to assess a company's profitability per share.
Management believes this measure provides an
indication of Equinor’s underlying financial
performance including the impact from financing and
facilitates comparison of trends between periods.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented above
are supplementary measures and should not be
viewed in isolation or as substitutes for net operating
income/(loss), net income/(loss) and earnings per
share, which are the most directly comparable IFRS
Accounting Standards measures. The reconciliation
tables later in this report reconcile the above non-
GAAP measures to the most directly comparable
IFRS Accounting Standards measure or measures.
There are material limitations associated with the
above measures compared with the IFRS
Accounting Standards measures, as these non-
GAAP measures do not include all the items of
revenues/ gains or expenses/losses of Equinor that
are required to evaluate its profitability on an overall
basis. The non-GAAP measures are only intended to
be indicative of the underlying developments in
trends of our on-going operations.
Adjusted operating income adjusts for the
following items:
•Changes in fair value of derivatives:
In the ordinary course of business, Equinor
enters into commodity derivative contracts to
manage the price risk exposure relating to future
sale and purchase contracts. These commodity
derivatives are measured at fair value at each
reporting date, with the movements in fair value
recognised in the income statement. By contrast,
the related sale and purchase contracts are not
recognised until the transaction occurs resulting
in timing differences. Therefore, the unrealised
movements in the fair value of these commodity
derivative contracts are excluded from adjusted
operating income and deferred until the time of
the physical delivery to minimise the effect of
these timing differences. Further, embedded
derivatives within certain gas contracts and
contingent consideration related to historical
divestments are carried at fair value. Any
accounting impacts resulting from such changes
in fair value are also excluded from adjusted
operating income, as these fluctuations are not
indicative of the underlying performance of the
business.
•Periodisation of inventory hedging effect:
Equinor enters into derivative contracts to
manage price risk exposure relating to its
commercial storage. These derivative contracts
are carried at fair value while the inventories are

DISCLOSURES
accounted for at the lower of cost or market
price. An adjustment is made to align the
valuation principles of inventories with related
derivative contracts. The adjusted valuation of
inventories is based on the forward price at the
expected realisation date. This is so that the
valuation principles between commercial
storages and derivative contracts are better
aligned.
•The operational storage is not hedged and is
not part of the trading portfolio. Cost of goods
sold is measured based on the FIFO (first-in,
first-out) method, and includes realised gains or
losses that arise due to changes in market
prices. These gains or losses will fluctuate from
one period to another and are not considered
part of the underlying operations for the period.
•Impairment and reversal of impairment are
excluded from adjusted operating income since
they affect the economics of an asset for the
lifetime of that asset, not only the period in which
it is impaired, or the impairment is reversed.
Impairment and reversal of impairment can
impact both the exploration expenses and the
depreciation, amortisation and net impairment
line items.
•Gain or loss from sales of assets is eliminated
from the measure since the gain or loss does not
give an indication of future performance or
periodic performance; such a gain or loss is
related to the cumulative value creation from the
time the asset is acquired until it is sold.
•Eliminations (Internal unrealised profit on
inventories): Volumes derived from equity oil
inventory vary depending on several factors and
inventory strategies, i.e., level of crude oil in
inventory, equity oil used in the refining process
and level of in-transit cargoes. Internal profit
related to volumes sold between entities within
the group, and still in inventory at period end, is
eliminated according to IFRS Accounting
Standards (write down to production cost). The
proportion of realised versus unrealised gain
fluctuates from one period to another due to
inventory strategies and consequently impact net
operating income/ (loss). Write-down to
production cost is not assessed to be a part of
the underlying operational performance, and
elimination of internal profit related to equity
volumes is excluded in adjusted operating
income.
•Other items of income and expense are
adjusted when the impacts on income in the
period are not reflective of Equinor’s underlying
operational performance in the reporting period.
Such items may be unusual or infrequent
transactions, but they may also include
transactions that are significant which would not
necessarily qualify as either unusual or
infrequent. However, other items adjusted do not
constitute normal, recurring income and
operating expenses for the company. Other items
are carefully assessed and can include
transactions such as provisions related to
reorganisation, early retirement, etc.
•Change in accounting policy is adjusted when
the impacts on income in the period are unusual
or infrequent, and not reflective of Equinor’s
underlying operational performance in the
reporting period.
Adjusted net income incorporates the
adjustments above, as well as the following items
impacting net financial items:
•Changes in fair value of financial derivatives
used to hedge interest bearing instruments.
Equinor enters into financial derivative contracts
to manage interest rate risk on long term interest-
bearing liabilities including bonds and financial
loans. The financial derivative contracts (hedging
instruments) are measured at fair value at each
reporting date, with movements in fair value
recognised in the income statement. The long
term interest-bearing liabilities are measured at
amortised cost and not remeasured at fair value
at each reporting date. This creates
measurement differences and therefore the
movements in the fair value of these financial
derivative contracts and associated tax effects
are excluded from the calculation of adjusted net
income and deferred until the time the underlying
instrument is matured, exercised, or settled.
Management believes that this appropriately
reflects the economic effect of these risk
management activities in each period and
provides an indication of Equinor’s underlying
financial performance.
•Foreign currency gains/losses on positions
used to manage currency risk exposure
related to future payments in NOK and
foreign currency gains/losses on
intercompany bank balances. Foreign currency
gains/losses on positions used to manage
currency risk exposure (cash equivalents/
financial investments and related currency
derivatives where applicable), as well as
currency gains/losses on intercompany bank
balances are eliminated from adjusted net
income. The currency effects on intercompany
bank balances are mainly due to a large part of
Equinor’s operations having a functional currency
different from USD, and these effects are offset
within equity as other comprehensive income
arising on translation from functional currency to
presentation currency USD. These currency
effects increase volatility in financial
performance, which does not reflect Equinor’s
underlying financial performance. Management
believes that these adjustments remove periodic
fluctuations in Equinor’s adjusted net income.
Adjustments made to arrive at adjusted operating
income and adjusted net income listed above are
similarly applied to net income/(loss) from equity
accounted investments when relevant.
Adjustments to income tax and tax rate:
•Derecognition of deferred tax assets or
recognition of previously unrecognised
deferred tax assets. These changes are related
to taxable income in future reporting periods and
are not reflective of performance in the current
reporting period.
•Income tax effects arising only when
calculating income tax in the functional
currency USD. Certain group companies have
USD as functional currency, which is different
from the currency in which the taxable income is
measured (tax currency). Income tax effects
arising only when calculating income tax in the
functional currency USD, that are not part of the
tax calculation in the tax currency, are adjusted
for. Management believes this better aligns the
effective tax rate in functional currency with the
statutory tax rate in the period.
Net debt to capital employed ratio – In Equinor’s
view, net debt ratios provide a more informative
picture of Equinor’s financial strength than gross
interest-bearing financial debt. Three different net
debt to capital ratios are presented below: 1) net
debt to capital employed, 2) net debt to capital
employed adjusted, including lease liabilities, and 3)
net debt to capital employed adjusted.
These calculations are based on 1) Equinor’s gross
interest-bearing financial liabilities as recorded in the
Consolidated balance sheet 2) Net interest-bearing
debt before adjustments, which excludes cash, cash
equivalents and current financial investments from
gross interest-bearing debt, and 3) net interest
bearing debt adjusted, including lease liabilities
which adjusts the above measure for other interest-
bearing elements.
The following adjustments are made in calculating
the net debt to capital employed adjusted, including
lease liabilities ratio and the net debt to capital
employed adjusted ratio: financial investments held
in Equinor Insurance AS (classified as Current
financial investments in the Consolidated balance
sheet) are treated as non-cash and excluded from

the calculation of these non-GAAP measures, as
these investments are not readily available for the
group to meet short term commitments. These
adjustments result in a higher net debt figure and in
Equinor’s view provides a more prudent measure of
the net debt to capital employed ratio than would be
the case without such exclusions. Additionally, lease
liabilities are further excluded in calculating the net
debt to capital employed adjusted ratio. The table
Calculation of capital employed and net debt to
capital employed ratio later in this report details the
calculations for these non-GAAP measures and
reconciles them with the most directly comparable
IFRS Accounting Standards financial measure or
measures.
Organic capital expenditures (organic
investments/capex) – Capital expenditures is defined
as Additions to PP&E, intangibles and equity
accounted investments, which excludes assets held
for sale, as presented in note 2 Segments to the
Condensed interim financial statements. Organic
capital expenditures are capital expenditures
excluding expenditures related to acquisitions,
leased assets and other investments with
significantly different cash flow patterns. Equinor
believes this measure gives stakeholders relevant
information to understand the company’s
investments in maintaining and developing its
assets. Forward-looking organic capital expenditures
included in this report are not reconcilable to its most
directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards
measure without unreasonable efforts, because the
amounts excluded from such IFRS Accounting
Standards measure to determine organic capital
expenditures cannot be predicted with reasonable
certainty.
Cash flows from operations after taxes paid
(CFFO after taxes paid) represents, and is used by
management, to evaluate cash generated from
operating activities after taxes paid, which is
available for investing activities, debt servicing and
distribution to shareholders. Cash flows from
operations after taxes paid is not a measure of our
liquidity under IFRS Accounting Standards and
should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for an analysis of our results as reported in
this report. Our definition of Cash flows from
operations after taxes paid is limited and does not
represent residual cash flows available for
discretionary expenditures. The table Calculation of
CFFO after taxes paid and net cash flow later in this
report provides a reconciliation of Cash flows from
operations after taxes paid to its most directly
comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure,
Cash flows provided by operating activities before
taxes paid and working capital items, as of the
specified dates.
Net cash flow before capital distribution - Net
cash flow before capital distribution represents, and
is used by management to evaluate, cash generated
from operational and investing activities available for
debt servicing and distribution to shareholders. Net
cash flow before capital distribution is not a measure
of our liquidity under IFRS Accounting Standards

These forward-looking statements reflect current
views about future events, are based on
management’s current expectations and assumptions
and are, by their nature, subject to significant risks
and uncertainties because they relate to events and
depend on circumstances that will occur in the future.
There are a number of factors that could cause actual
results and developments to differ materially from
those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements, including levels of industry product
supply, demand and pricing, in particular in light of
significant price volatility for oil and natural gas;
geopolitical, social and/or political instability, including
worsening trade relations and tariffs; unfavourable
macroeconomic conditions and inflationary pressures;
exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations; levels
and calculations of reserves and material differences
from reserves estimates; regulatory stability and
access to resources, including attractive low-carbon
opportunities; changes in market demand and supply
and policy support from governments for renewables;
inability to meet strategic objectives; the effects of
climate change and changes in stakeholder sentiment
and regulatory requirements regarding climate
change; the development and use of new technology;
failure to prevent or manage digital and cyber
disruptions to our information and operational
technology systems and those of third parties on
which we rely; operational problems, including cost
inflation in capital and operational expenditures;
unsuccessful drilling; availability of adequate
infrastructure at commercially viable prices; the
actions of field partners, commercial and strategic
partners and other third-parties; reputational damage;
the actions of competitors; failure to effectively deploy
new technologies or deficiencies in their
implementation; the actions of the Norwegian state as
majority shareholder and exercise of ownership by the
Norwegian state; changes or uncertainty in or non-
compliance with laws and governmental regulations,
conditions or requirements; inability to obtain relevant
approvals from governments and other parties for
activities and transactions; adverse changes in tax
regimes; the political and economic policies of Norway
and other oil/energy-producing countries; regulations
on low-carbon value chains; liquidity, interest rate,
equity and credit risks; risk of losses relating to trading
and commercial supply activities; an inability to attract
and retain personnel; ineffectiveness of crisis
management systems; inadequate insurance
coverage; health, safety and environmental risks;
physical security risks to personnel, assets,
infrastructure and operations from hostile or malicious
acts; failure to meet our ethical and social standards;
actual or perceived non-compliance with legal or
regulatory requirements; and other factors discussed
elsewhere in this report and in Equinor's Integrated
Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025
(including section 5.2 - Risk factors thereof). Equinor's
2025 Integrated Annual Report is available at

the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot assure you that our future results, level of
activity, performance or achievements will meet these
expectations. Moreover, neither we nor any other
person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and
completeness of the forward-looking statements. Any

PRESS

SECOND QUARTER
2026 REVIEW
CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND NOTES
SUPPLEMENTARY
DISCLOSURES
End notes
1.The group's average liquids price is a volume
weighted average of the segment prices of crude
oil, condensate and natural gas liquids (NGL).
2.Transactions with the Norwegian state. The
Norwegian state, represented by the Ministry of
Trade, Industry and Fisheries, is the majority
shareholder of Equinor and it also holds major
investments in other entities. This ownership
structure means that Equinor participates in
transactions with many parties that are under a
common ownership structure and therefore meet
the definition of a related party. Equinor
purchases liquids and natural gas from the
Norwegian state, represented by SDFI (the
State's Direct Financial Interest). In addition,
Equinor sells the State's natural gas production
in its own name, but for the Norwegian state's
account and risk, and related expenditures are
refunded by the State.
3.Equity volumes represent Equinor’s
proportionate share of gross production based on
working interest ownership in a lease or unit.
Entitlement volumes differ from equity volumes
where operations are performed under
production sharing agreements (PSA) that
regulate Equinor’s entitlement to volumes, and in
the USA where entitlement production is
expressed net of royalty interests.
4.The production guidance reflects our estimates of
proved reserves calculated in accordance with
US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
guidelines and additional production from other
reserves not included in proved reserves
estimates.
5.Liquids volumes include oil, condensate and
NGL, exclusive of royalty oil.
6.The group's average realised piped gas prices
include all realised piped gas sales, including
both physical sales and related paper positions.
7.The internal transfer price paid from the MMP
segment to the E&P Norway, E&P International
and E&P USA segments.
8.Since different legal entities in the group lend to
projects and others borrow from banks, project
financing through external bank or similar
institutions is not netted in the balance sheet and
results in over-reporting of the debt stated in the
balance sheet compared to the underlying
exposure in the group. Similarly, certain net
interest-bearing debt incurred from activities
pursuant to the Marketing Instruction of the
Norwegian government are offset against
receivables on the SDFI. Some interest-bearing
elements are classified together with non-interest
bearing elements and are therefore included
when calculating the net interest-bearing debt.
