NOTE 2: - Accounting policies and 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 period are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the period
ended 31 March 2025. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the
information and disclosures that are required for the annual financial
statements and must be read in conjunction with the Group's annual
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and all values are
rounded to the nearest thousand dollars except where otherwise indicated.
The financial information presented herein has been prepared in accordance
with the accounting policies expected to be
NOTE 2: - Accounting policies and basis of preparation (Cont.)
used in preparing the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2025 which are the same as those used in preparing the
annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of
accounting in preparing these interim financial statements. The Going Concern
assessment covers the period up to 30 June 2026, "the forecast period".
Israel geopolitical environment - Energean highlights the following as
important in relation to its principal risks. Since 7 October 2023, and the
ongoing conflict in Israel, the magnitude of regional geopolitical risk
remains elevated. Concerns of escalations in the Middle East have intensified
the security risk in the region, as essential infrastructure systems (such as
the Energean Power FPSO offshore Israel) may be targets for missile fire and
sabotage operations. While the Karish and Karish North fields have continued
to produce with no disruption since the start of the conflict, any event that
impacts production from these fields could have a material adverse impact on
the business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and
prospects of the Group. In Q1 2025, Energean has ensured that all measures are
in place to continue business operations, maintain the mobility of its people
and make certain that the security of information is unaffected.
New and amended accounting standards and interpretations:
The following amendments became effective as of 1 January 2025 and have been
applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements
· Amendments to IAS 21- Lack of exchangeability.
The adoption of the above standard and interpretations did not lead to any
material changes to the Group's accounting policies and did not have any other
material impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

NOTE 6: - Taxation
1. Corporate Tax rates applicable to the Company:
Israel:
The Israeli corporate tax rate is 23% in 2025 and 2024.
United Kingdom:
Starting from 1 January 2024, the company's control and management was
transferred from the Republic of Cyprus to the United Kingdom ("UK") and as
such the company's tax residency migrated from Cyprus to UK from the first day
of the accounting period. The applicable tax rate in the UK is 25%.
Under s.18A of the UK CTA 2009, the Company made an election for the branch of
Energean Israel Limited (and any other branches that may open from time to
time) to be exempt from UK corporation tax from its first accounting period
commencing on 1 January 2024 and all subsequent accounting period.
2. The Income and Natural Resources Taxation Law, 5771-2011 -
Israel- the main provisions of the law are as follows:
In April 2011, the Knesset passed the Income and Natural Resources Tax Law,
5771-2011 ("the Law"). The imposition of oil and gas profits levy at a rate to
be set as set out below. The rate of the levy will be calculated according to
a proposed R factor mechanism, according to the ratio between the net accrued
revenues from the project and the cumulative investments as defined in the
law. A minimum levy of 20% will be levied at the stage where the R factor
ratio reaches 1.5, and when the ratio increases, the levy will increase
gradually until the maximum rate of 50% until the ratio reaches 2.3. In
addition, it was determined that the rate of the levy as stated will be
reduced starting in 2017 by multiplying 0.64 by the difference between the
corporate tax rate prescribed in section 126 of the Income Tax Ordinance for
each tax year and the tax rate of 18%. In accordance with the corporate tax
rate from 2018 onwards, the maximum rate will be 46.8%.
NOTE 6: - Taxation (Cont.)
In addition, additional provisions were prescribed regarding the levy, inter
alia: the levy will be recognised as an expense for the purpose of calculating
income tax; the limits of the levy shall not include export facilities; the
levy will be calculated and imposed for each reservoir separately (ring
fencing); payment by the owner of an oil right calculated as a percentage of
the oil produced, the recipient of the payment will be liable to pay a levy
according to the amount of the payment received, and this amount will be
subtracted from the amount of the levy owed by the holder of the oil right.
The law also sets rules for the unification or separation or consolidation of
oil projects for the purposes of the Law.
In accordance with the provisions of the Law, the Group is not yet required to
pay any payment in respect of the said levy, and therefore no liability has
been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this payment.

rate of 7.5%, increasing to 8.25% after the date at which the lease in

considered to have fair values different to their book values.

Book Value $'000 Fair value $'000 Book Value $'000 Fair value $'000
Senior Secured Notes (Note 12) 2,595,794 2,566,375 2,594,213 2,485,589

relevant market yield curve at the balance sheet date. The fair values of
other financial instruments not measured at fair value, including cash and
short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade and other payables and the Term
Loan which equate approximately to their carrying amounts.
Cash Flow Hedging
In addition to the hedging agreements described in the 2024 annual
consolidated financial statements, in February 2025 the Group entered into a
forward transaction to hedge against foreign currency volatility risk
associated with its forecasted payment to the EPCI contractor for its Katlan
development. The hedge relationship was deemed effective at inception, and in
accordance with the Group's accounting policy, the transaction was subject to
cash flow hedge accounting.
Consequently, as of 31 March 2025, the Group recorded a derivative asset of
US$16.86 million, and other comprehensive gain of US$13.25 million, during the
reporting period (31 December 2024, the Group recorded a derivative liability
of US$0.3 million, and other comprehensive gain of US$0.3 million during
2024).
Financial risk management objectives
In addition to the risks discussed in the consolidated annual financial
statements, due to the Term Loan (refer to note 12), the Company has some
exposure to interest rate risk. The management carefully considers the future
impact of the floating interest fluctuation and will consider mitigation plans
as needed and implement accordingly.
