not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk
factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plc’s Form
20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 (available at
www.shell.com/investors/news-and-filings/sec-filings.html and www.sec.gov).
These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements
contained in this announcement and should be considered by the reader.  Each
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this announcement, May
2, 2025. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a
result of new information, future events or other information. In light of
these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or
inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement.

Shell’s net carbon intensity

Also, in this announcement we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon
intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the
production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in
supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions
associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also
includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy
products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only
controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon
intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these
emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

Shell’s net-zero emissions target

Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period
and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect
the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over
the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our Scope 1,
Scope 2 and NCI targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating
plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this
target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and
outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and
the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as
society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans
and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in
2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet
this target.

Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures

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

this announcement.

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