Quarter Analysis1
Income attributable to Shell plc shareholders, compared with the second
quarter 2025, reflected higher trading and optimisation margins, higher sales
volumes and favourable tax movements, partly offset by higher operating
expenses.
Third quarter 2025 income attributable to Shell plc shareholders also included
gains on disposal of assets and impairment charges. These items are included
in identified items amounting to a net loss of $0.1 billion in the quarter.
This compares with identified items in the second quarter 2025 which amounted
to a net loss of $0.3 billion.
Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA2 were driven by the same factors as
income attributable to Shell plc shareholders and adjusted for the above
identified items.
Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter 2025 was
$12.2 billion and primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA. This inflow was partly
offset by tax payments of $2.7 billion.
Cash flow from investing activities for the third quarter 2025 was an outflow
of $2.3 billion, and included cash capital expenditure of $4.9 billion. This
outflow was partly offset by divestment proceeds of $1.8 billion.
Net debt and Gearing: At the end of the third quarter 2025, net debt was
$41.2 billion, compared with $43.2 billion at the end of the second quarter
2025. This reflects free cash flow of $10.0 billion, partly offset by share
buybacks of $3.6 billion, cash dividends paid to Shell plc shareholders of
$2.1 billion, lease additions of $1.1 billion and interest payments of $0.8
billion. Gearing was 18.8% at the end of the third quarter 2025, compared with
19.1% at the end of the second quarter 2025, mainly driven by lower net debt,
partly offset by lower equity which included a 0.4 percentage point increase
related to a non-cash adjustment to the previously recognised pension surplus
in the Netherlands, following formal acceptance by the Trustee Board of the
transition plan related to changes in pension legislation3.
Shareholder distributions: Total shareholder distributions in the quarter
amounted to $5.7 billion comprising repurchases of shares of $3.6 billion and
cash dividends paid to Shell plc shareholders of $2.1 billion. Dividends to
be paid to Shell plc shareholders for the third quarter 2025 amount to $0.3580
per share. Shell has now completed $3.5

billion of share buybacks announced in the second quarter 2025 results
announcement. Today, Shell announces a share buyback programme of $3.5 billion
which is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter 2025 results
announcement.
Nine Months Analysis1
Income attributable to Shell plc shareholders, compared with the first nine
months 2024, reflected lower realised liquids and LNG prices, lower trading
and optimisation margins, and lower chemicals and refining margins, partly
offset by favourable tax movements and lower operating expenses.
First nine months 2025 income attributable to Shell plc shareholders also
included impairment charges and gains on disposal of assets, a charge related
to the UK Energy Profits Levy and favourable movements due to the fair value
accounting of commodity derivatives. These items are included in identified
items amounting to a net loss of $1.2 billion. This compares with identified
items in the first nine months 2024 which amounted to a net loss of
$4.6 billion.
Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA2 for the first nine months 2025 were
driven by the same factors as income attributable to Shell plc shareholders
and adjusted for identified items and the cost of supplies adjustment of $0.3
billion.
Cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months 2025 was $33.4
billion, and primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA. This inflow was partly
offset by tax payments of $9.0 billion and working capital outflows of $3.1
billion.
Cash flow from investing activities for the first nine months 2025 was an
outflow of $11.6 billion and included cash capital expenditure of $14.9
billion. This outflow was partly offset by divestment proceeds of $2.3 billion
and interest received of $1.5 billion.

Integrated Gas includes liquefied natural gas (LNG), conversion of natural gas
into gas-to-liquids (GTL) fuels and other products. It includes natural gas
and liquids exploration and extraction, and the operation of the upstream and
midstream infrastructure necessary to deliver these to market. Integrated Gas
also includes the marketing, trading and optimisation of LNG.
Quarter Analysis1
Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted
Earnings and includes identified items.
Adjusted Earnings, compared with the second quarter 2025, reflected the net
effect of higher contributions from trading and optimisation and lower
realised prices (increase of $208 million), and higher volumes (increase of
$237 million), partly offset by higher operating expenses (increase of $108
million).
Identified items in the third quarter 2025 included favourable movements of
$129 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives, and
onerous contract related remeasurement of $99 million. These favourable
movements compare with the second quarter 2025 which included favourable
movements of $454 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity
derivatives, partly offset by impairment charges of $423 million. As part of
Shell's normal business, commodity derivative contracts are entered into as
hedges for mitigation of economic exposures on future purchases, sales and
inventory.
Adjusted EBITDA2 was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.
Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter 2025 was primarily
driven by Adjusted EBITDA, partly offset by working capital outflows of $802
million and tax payments of $796 million.
Total oil and gas production, compared with the second quarter 2025, increased
by 2% mainly due to lower maintenance across the portfolio. LNG liquefaction
volumes increased by 8% mainly due to lower maintenance across the portfolio
and LNG Canada ramp-up.
Nine Months Analysis1
Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted
Earnings and includes identified items.
Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first nine months 2024, reflected the
combined effect of lower contributions from trading and optimisation and lower
realised prices (decrease of $2,634 million), lower volumes (decrease of $482
million), and higher depreciation, depletion and amortisation expenses
(increase of $275 million), partly offset by favourable deferred tax movements
($316 million), and lower operating expenses (decrease of $186 million).
Identified items in the first nine months 2025 included favourable movements
of $946 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives,
partly offset by impairment charges of $455 million. These favourable
movements and charges are part of identified items and compare with the first
nine months 2024 which included unfavourable movements of $1,198 million due
to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives. As part of Shell's
normal business,

commodity derivative contracts are entered into as hedges for mitigation of
economic exposures on future purchases, sales and inventory.
Adjusted EBITDA2 was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.
Cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months 2025 was
primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA, and net cash inflows related to
derivatives of $1,168 million. These inflows were partly offset by tax
payments of $2,537 million and working capital outflows of $1,137 million.
Total oil and gas production, compared with the first nine months 2024,
decreased by 5% mainly due to field decline and higher maintenance across the
portfolio. LNG liquefaction volumes decreased by 6% mainly due to ownership
restructuring in Trinidad and Tobago, and higher maintenance across the
portfolio.

The Upstream segment includes exploration and extraction of crude oil, natural
gas and natural gas liquids. It also markets and transports oil and gas, and
operates the infrastructure necessary to deliver them to the market.
Quarter Analysis1
Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted
Earnings and includes identified items.
Adjusted Earnings, compared with the second quarter 2025, reflected higher
volumes (increase of $298 million), favourable tax movements ($161 million)
and lower well write-offs (decrease of $114 million), partly offset by higher
depreciation, depletion and amortisation expenses (increase of $241 million)
and unfavourable movements related to the rebalancing of participation
interests in Brazil ($271 million)2.
Identified items in the third quarter 2025 included losses of $101 million
related to the impact of inflationary adjustments in Argentinian peso on a
deferred tax position, partly offset by a gain of $42 million related to the
impact of the strengthening Brazilian real on a deferred tax position. These
net unfavourable movements compare with the second quarter 2025 which included
gains of $350 million related to disposal of assets.
Adjusted EBITDA3 was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.
Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter 2025 was primarily
driven by Adjusted EBITDA, partly offset by tax payments of $1,611 million.
Total production, compared with the second quarter 2025, increased mainly due
to new oil production and comparative help from higher planned maintenance in
the second quarter of 2025.
Nine Months Analysis1
Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted
Earnings and includes identified items.
Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first nine months 2024, reflected lower
realised liquids prices (decrease of $2,117 million), the comparative
unfavourable impact of gas storage effects (decrease of $536 million), and
unfavourable movements related to the rebalancing of participation interests
in Brazil ($271 million)2. These net unfavourable movements were partly offset
by higher volumes (increase of $660 million), lower well write-offs (decrease
of $604 million), lower depreciation, depletion and amortisation expenses
(decrease of $198 million) and lower operating expenses (decrease of $163
million).
Identified items in the first nine months 2025 included a charge of $509
million related to the UK Energy Profits Levy4, partly offset by gains of $524
million from disposal of assets. These net unfavourable movements compare with
the first nine months 2024 which included gains of $676 million related to the
impact of inflationary adjustments in Argentinian peso on a deferred tax
position, partly offset by charges of $179 million related to redundancy and
restructuring, net impairment charges and reversals of $171 million and a loss
of $164 million related to the impact of the weakening Brazilian real on a
deferred tax position.
Adjusted EBITDA3 was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.
Cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months 2025 was
primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA and dividends (net of profits) from joint
ventures and associates of $1,305 million. These inflows were partly offset by
tax payments of $5,557 million.

Quarter Analysis1
Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted
Earnings and includes identified items.
Adjusted Earnings, compared with the second quarter 2025, reflected higher
Marketing margins (increase of $270 million) including higher Mobility margins
due to seasonal impact of higher volumes and higher Sectors and
Decarbonisation margins, partly offset by lower Lubricants margins. These net
gains were partly offset by higher operating expenses (increase of $145
million).
Identified items in the third quarter 2025 included impairment charges of
$579 million and provisions of $186 million2, both mainly relating to the
decision not to restart construction of the planned biofuels facility at the
Shell Energy and Chemicals Park in Rotterdam. These charges and provisions
compare with the second quarter 2025 which included net impairment charges and
reversals of $285 million, net losses of $44 million related to the sale of
assets, and charges of $44 million related to redundancy and restructuring.
Adjusted EBITDA3 was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.
Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter 2025 was primarily

Renewables and Energy Solutions includes activities such as renewable power
generation, the marketing and trading and optimisation of power and pipeline
gas, as well as carbon credits, and digitally enabled customer solutions. It
also includes the production and marketing of hydrogen, development of
commercial carbon capture and storage hubs, investment in nature-based
projects that avoid or reduce carbon emissions, and Shell Ventures, which
invests in companies that work to accelerate the energy and mobility
transformation.
Quarter Analysis1
Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted
Earnings and includes identified items.
Adjusted Earnings, compared with the second quarter 2025, reflected higher
margins (increase of $131 million), partly offset by higher operating expenses
(increase of $31 million).
Most Renewables and Energy Solutions activities were loss-making in the third
quarter 2025, these were more than offset by positive Adjusted Earnings from
trading and optimisation and energy marketing.
Identified items in the third quarter 2025 included gains of $134 million
related to the disposal of assets, partly offset by unfavourable movements of
$87 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives. These
gains and unfavourable movements compare with the second quarter 2025 which
included unfavourable movements of $217 million due to the fair value
accounting of commodity derivatives and impairment charges of $136 million,
partly offset by gains of $108 million on sales of assets. As part of Shell's
normal business, commodity derivative contracts are entered into as hedges for
mitigation of economic exposures on future purchases, sales and inventory.
Adjusted EBITDA2 was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.
Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter 2025 was primarily
driven by working capital inflows of $960 million and Adjusted EBITDA. These
inflows were partly offset by net cash outflows related to derivatives of $272
million and payments relating to emissions programmes of $264 million.
Nine Months Analysis1
Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted
Earnings and includes identified items.
Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first nine months 2024, reflected lower
operating expenses (decrease of $165 million) and higher margins (increase of
$64 million), mainly due to higher generation and energy marketing margins,
partly offset by lower trading and optimisation margins.
Most Renewables and Energy Solutions activities were loss-making for the first
nine months 2025, these were more than offset by positive Adjusted Earnings
from trading and optimisation.
Identified items in the first nine months 2025 included unfavourable
movements of $284 million relating to the fair value accounting of commodity
derivatives and impairment charges of $177 million, partly offset by gains on
disposals of assets of $99 million. These net charges compare with the first
nine months 2024 which included favourable movements of $250 million due to
the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives, partly offset by net
impairment charges and reversals of
Page 11
SHELL PLC 3rd QUARTER 2025 UNAUDITED RESULTS
$89 million. As part of Shell's normal business, commodity derivative
contracts are entered into as hedges for mitigation of economic exposures on
future purchases, sales and inventory.
Adjusted EBITDA2 was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.
Cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months 2025 was
primarily driven by working capital inflows of $1,212 million and Adjusted
EBITDA. These inflows were partly offset by net cash outflows related to
derivatives of $507 million.

innovation portfolio. All finance expense, income and related taxes are
included in Corporate Adjusted Earnings rather than in the earnings of
business segments.
Quarter Analysis1
Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted
Earnings and includes identified items.
Adjusted Earnings, compared with the second quarter 2025, reflected favourable
tax movements and currency exchange rate effects, partly offset by
unfavourable net interest movements and higher operating expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA2 was mainly driven by favourable currency exchange rate
effects partly offset by higher operating expenses.
Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter 2025 was primarily

Nine Months Analysis1
Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted
Earnings and includes identified items.
Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first nine months 2024, were primarily
driven by favourable tax movements, partly offset by unfavourable net interest
movements, currency exchange rate effects and operating expenses.
Identified items in the first nine months 2024 included reclassifications
from equity to profit and loss of cumulative currency translation differences
related to funding structures resulting in unfavourable movements of $1,122
million. These currency translation differences were previously recognised in
other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as part of accumulated
other comprehensive income.
Adjusted EBITDA2 was mainly driven by unfavourable currency exchange rate
effects and operating expenses.
Cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months 2025 was
primarily driven by working capital outflows of $1,809 million, which included
a reduction in joint venture deposits, as well as Adjusted EBITDA and tax
payments of $464 million.

SHELL PLC 3rd QUARTER 2025 UNAUDITED RESULTS
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of preparation
These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Shell
plc (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as
“Shell”) have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial
Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB")
and adopted by the UK, and on the basis of the same accounting principles as
those used in the Company's Annual Report and Accounts (pages 240 to 312) for
the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Registrar of Companies for
England and Wales and as filed with the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (the
Netherlands) and Amendment No. 1 to Form 20-F ("Form 20-F/A") (pages 10 to 83)
for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the US Securities and
Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with these filings.
The financial information presented in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Interim Financial Statements does not constitute statutory accounts within the
meaning of section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006 (“the Act”). Statutory
accounts for the year ended December 31, 2024, were published in Shell's
Annual Report and Accounts, a copy of which was delivered to the Registrar of
Companies for England and Wales. The auditor's report on those accounts was
unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor
drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not
contain a statement under sections 498(2) or 498(3) of the Act.
Key accounting considerations, significant judgements and estimates
Future commodity price assumptions, which represent a significant estimate,
were changed in the second quarter 2025 (See Note 7). These remained unchanged
in the third quarter 2025. Noting continued volatility in markets, price
assumptions remain under review.
The discount rates applied for impairment testing and the discount rate
applied to provisions are reviewed on a regular basis. Both discount rates
applied in the first nine months 2025 remain unchanged compared with 2024.
2. Segment information
With effect from January 1, 2025, segment earnings are presented on an
Adjusted Earnings basis (Adjusted Earnings), which is the earnings measure
used by the Chief Executive Officer, who serves as the Chief Operating
Decision Maker, for the purposes of making decisions about allocating
resources and assessing performance. This aligns with Shell's focus on
performance, discipline and simplification.
The Adjusted Earnings measure is presented on a current cost of supplies (CCS)
basis and aims to facilitate a comparative understanding of Shell's financial
performance from period to period by removing the effects of oil price changes
on inventory carrying amounts and removing the effects of identified items.
Identified items are in some cases driven by external factors and may, either
individually or collectively, hinder the comparative understanding of Shell's
financial results from period to period.
The segment earnings measure used until December 31, 2024 was CCS earnings.
The difference between CCS earnings and Adjusted Earnings are the identified
items. Comparative periods are presented below on an Adjusted Earnings basis.

Identified items
The objective of identified items is to remove material impacts on net
income/loss arising from transactions which are generally uncontrollable and
unusual (infrequent or non-recurring) in nature or giving rise to a mismatch
between accounting and economic results, or certain transactions that are
generally excluded from underlying results in the industry.
Identified items comprise: divestment gains and losses, impairments and
impairment reversals, redundancy and restructuring, fair value accounting of
commodity derivatives and certain gas contracts that gives rise to a mismatch
between accounting and economic results, the impact of exchange rate movements
and inflationary adjustments on certain deferred tax balances, and other
items.

1.Fair value accounting of commodity derivatives and certain gas contracts: In
the ordinary course of business, Shell enters into contracts to supply or
purchase oil and gas products, as well as power and environmental products.
Shell also enters into contracts for tolling, pipeline and storage capacity.
Derivative contracts are entered into for mitigation of resulting economic
exposures (generally price exposure) and these derivative contracts are
carried at period-end market price (fair value), with movements in fair value
recognised in income for the period. Supply and purchase contracts entered
into for operational purposes, as well as contracts for tolling, pipeline and
storage capacity, are, by contrast, recognised when the transaction occurs;
furthermore, inventory is carried at historical cost or net realisable value,
whichever is lower. As a consequence, accounting mismatches occur because: (a)
the supply or purchase transaction is recognised in a different period; or (b)
the inventory is measured on a different basis. In addition, certain contracts
are, due to pricing or delivery conditions, deemed to contain embedded
derivatives or written options and are also required to be carried at fair
value even though they are entered into for operational purposes. The
accounting impacts are reported as identified items.
2.Other identified items represent other credits or charges that based on
Shell management's assessment hinder the comparative understanding of Shell's
financial results from period to period.
3.Impact of exchange rate movements and inflationary adjustments on tax
balances represents the impact on tax balances of exchange rate movements and
inflationary adjustments arising on: (a) the conversion to dollars of the
local currency tax base of non-monetary assets and liabilities, as well as
recognised tax losses (this primarily impacts the Integrated Gas and Upstream
segments); and (b) the conversion of dollar-denominated inter-segment loans to
local currency, leading to taxable exchange rate gains or losses (this
primarily impacts the Corporate segment).

The merger reserve and share premium reserve were established as a consequence
of Shell plc (formerly Royal Dutch Shell plc) becoming the single parent
company of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and The “Shell” Transport and
Trading Company, p.l.c., now The Shell Transport and Trading Company Limited,
in 2005. The merger reserve increased in 2016 following the issuance of shares
for the acquisition of BG Group plc. The capital redemption reserve was
established in connection with repurchases of shares of Shell plc. The share
plan reserve is in respect of equity-settled share-based compensation plans.
6. Derivative financial instruments and debt excluding lease liabilities
As disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended
December 31, 2024, presented in the Annual Report and Accounts and Form 20-F/A
for that year, Shell is exposed to the risks of changes in fair value of its
financial assets and liabilities. The fair values of the financial assets and
liabilities are defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. Methods and assumptions used to estimate
the fair values at September 30, 2025, are consistent with those used in the
year ended December 31, 2024, though the carrying amounts of derivative
financial instruments have changed since that date. The movement of the
derivative financial instruments between December 31, 2024 and September 30,
2025, is a decrease of $570 million for the current assets and a decrease of
$1,467 million for the current liabilities.
The table below provides the comparison of the fair value with the carrying
amount of debt excluding lease liabilities, disclosed in accordance with IFRS
7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

The presentation in the balance sheet takes into consideration the offsetting
of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities within the same tax
jurisdiction, where this is permitted. The overall deferred tax position in a
particular tax jurisdiction determines whether a deferred tax balance related
to that jurisdiction is presented within deferred tax assets or deferred tax
liabilities.
Shell's net deferred tax position was a liability of $3,867 million at
September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: $6,648 million). The net decrease in
the net deferred tax liability is mainly driven by retirement benefits
remeasurements in the third quarter 2025 (see Retirement benefits below) and
various other smaller items.

On July 1, 2023, new pension legislation ("Wet Toekomst Pensioenen" (WTP))
came into effect in the Netherlands, with an expected implementation required
prior to January 1, 2028. In July 2025, the Trustee Board of the Stichting
Shell Pensioen Fonds (“SSPF”), Shell's defined benefit pension fund in the
Netherlands, formally accepted the transition plan to transition from a
defined benefit pension fund to a defined contribution plan with effect from
January 1, 2027, subject to the local funding level of the plan remaining
above an agreed level (125%) during a predetermined transition period.
Page 29
SHELL PLC 3rd QUARTER 2025 UNAUDITED RESULTS
In accordance with asset ceiling principles, in July 2025, Shell recognised an
adjustment to reduce the pension fund surplus of $5,521 million to nil, and
recognised a liability for a minimum funding requirement estimated at
$750 million, resulting in a loss in Other comprehensive income. In addition,
a net deferred tax liability (see Deferred tax above) of $1,617 million was
unwound, leading to an overall net post-tax loss of $4,654 million recognised
in Other comprehensive income (see Retirement benefits remeasurements above).
The asset ceiling recognised will continue to be monitored and remeasured in
accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits.
Subsequently, at the date of transition and settlement (expected December 31,
2026), the surplus at that date will be de-recognised, resulting in an
identified loss in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The extent to which
the funding level will meet the agreed 125% threshold is subject to
uncertainty.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE (NON-GAAP) MEASURES
A.Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortisation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Cash flow from operating
activities
The “Adjusted Earnings” measure aims to facilitate a comparative
understanding of Shell’s financial performance from period to period by
removing the effects of oil price changes on inventory carrying amounts and
removing the effects of identified items. These items are in some cases driven
by external factors and may, either individually or collectively, hinder the
comparative understanding of Shell’s financial results from period to
period. This measure excludes earnings attributable to non-controlling
interest when presenting the total Shell Group result but includes these items
when presenting individual segment Adjusted Earnings as set out in the table
below.
See Note 2 “Segment information” for the reconciliation of Adjusted
Earnings.
We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as “Income/(loss) for the period” adjusted
for current cost of supplies; identified items; tax charge/(credit);
depreciation, amortisation and depletion; exploration well write-offs and net
interest expense. All items include the non-controlling interest component.
Management uses this measure to evaluate Shell's performance in the period and
over time.

Identified items
The objective of identified items is to remove material impacts on net
income/loss arising from transactions which are generally uncontrollable and
unusual (infrequent or non-recurring) in nature or giving rise to a mismatch
between accounting and economic results, or certain transactions that are
generally excluded from underlying results in the industry.
Identified items comprise: divestment gains and losses, impairments and
impairment reversals, redundancy and restructuring, fair value accounting of
commodity derivatives and certain gas contracts that gives rise to a mismatch
between accounting and economic results, the impact of exchange rate movements
and inflationary adjustments on certain deferred tax balances, and other
items.
See Note 2 “Segment information” for details.
B. Adjusted Earnings per share
Adjusted Earnings per share is calculated as Adjusted Earnings (see Reference
A), divided by the weighted average number of shares used as the basis for
basic earnings per share (see Note 3).
C. Cash capital expenditure
Cash capital expenditure represents cash spent on maintaining and developing
assets as well as on investments in the period. Management regularly monitors
this measure as a key lever to delivering sustainable cash flows. Cash capital
expenditure is the sum of the following lines from the Consolidated Statement
of Cash Flows: Capital expenditure, Investments in joint ventures and
associates and Investments in equity securities.
See Note 2 “Segment information” for the reconciliation of cash capital
expenditure.
D. Capital employed and Return on average capital employed
Return on average capital employed ("ROACE") measures the efficiency of
Shell’s utilisation of the capital that it employs.
The measure refers to Capital employed which consists of total equity, current
debt, and non-current debt reduced by cash and cash equivalents.
In this calculation, the sum of Adjusted Earnings (see Reference A) plus
non-controlling interest (NCI) excluding identified items for the current and
previous three quarters, adjusted for after-tax interest expense and after-tax
interest income, is expressed as a percentage of the average capital employed
excluding cash and cash equivalents for the same period.

E. Net debt and gearing
Net debt is defined as the sum of current and non-current debt, less cash and
cash equivalents, adjusted for the fair value of derivative financial
instruments used to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate risk relating to
debt, and associated collateral balances. Management considers this adjustment
useful because it reduces the volatility of net debt caused by fluctuations in
foreign exchange and interest rates, and eliminates the potential impact of
related collateral payments or receipts. Debt-related derivative financial
instruments are a subset of the derivative financial instrument assets and
liabilities presented on the balance sheet. Collateral balances are reported
under “Trade and other receivables” or “Trade and other payables” as
appropriate.
Gearing is a measure of Shell's capital structure and is defined as net debt
(total debt less cash and cash equivalents) as a percentage of total capital

G. Free cash flow and Organic free cash flow
Free cash flow is used to evaluate cash available for financing activities,
including dividend payments and debt servicing, after investment in
maintaining and growing the business. It is defined as the sum of “Cash flow
from operating activities” and “Cash flow from investing activities”.
Cash flows from acquisition and divestment activities are removed from Free
cash flow to arrive at the Organic free cash flow, a measure used by
management to evaluate the generation of free cash flow without these
activities.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
All amounts shown throughout this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report
are unaudited. All peak production figures in Portfolio Developments are
quoted at 100% expected production. The numbers presented throughout this
Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report may not sum precisely to the
totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute
figures, due to rounding.
The companies in which Shell plc directly and indirectly owns investments are
separate legal entities. In this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report,
“Shell”, “Shell Group” and “Group” are sometimes used for
convenience to reference Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general. Likewise,
the words “we”, “us” and “our” are also used to refer to Shell plc
and its subsidiaries in general or to those who work for them. These terms are
also used where no useful purpose is served by identifying the particular
entity or entities. ‘‘Subsidiaries’’, “Shell subsidiaries” and
“Shell companies” as used in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial
Report, refer to entities over which Shell plc either directly or indirectly
has control. The terms “joint venture”, “joint operations”, “joint
arrangements”, and “associates” may also be used to refer to a
commercial arrangement in which Shell has a direct or indirect ownership
interest with one or more parties. The term “Shell interest” is used for
convenience to indicate the direct and/or indirect ownership interest held by
Shell in an entity or unincorporated joint arrangement, after exclusion of all
third-party interest.
Forward-Looking statements
This Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report contains forward-looking
statements (within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995) concerning the financial condition, results of operations
and businesses of Shell. All statements other than statements of historical
fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are statements of future expectations that are based on
management’s current expectations and assumptions and involve known and
unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance
or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these
statements. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements
concerning the potential exposure of Shell to market risks and statements
expressing management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts,
projections and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are identified
by their use of terms and phrases such as “aim”; “ambition”;
‘‘anticipate’’; “aspire”; “aspiration”; ‘‘believe’’;
“commit”; “commitment”; ‘‘could’’; “desire”;
‘‘estimate’’; ‘‘expect’’; ‘‘goals’’;
‘‘intend’’; ‘‘may’’; “milestones”; ‘‘objectives’’;
‘‘outlook’’; ‘‘plan’’; ‘‘probably’’;
‘‘project’’; ‘‘risks’’; “schedule”; ‘‘seek’’;
‘‘should’’; ‘‘target’’; “vision”; ‘‘will’’;
“would” and similar terms and phrases. There are a number of factors that
could affect the future operations of Shell and could cause those results to
differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements
included in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report, including
(without limitation): (a) price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas; (b)
changes in demand for Shell’s products; (c) currency fluctuations; (d)
drilling and production results; (e) reserves estimates; (f) loss of market
share and industry competition; (g) environmental and physical risks,
including climate change; (h) risks associated with the identification of
suitable potential acquisition properties and targets, and successful
negotiation and completion of such transactions; (i) the risk of doing
business in developing countries and countries subject to international
sanctions; (j) legislative, judicial, fiscal and regulatory developments
including tariffs and regulatory measures addressing climate change; (k)
economic and financial market conditions in various countries and regions; (l)
political risks, including the risks of expropriation and renegotiation of the
terms of contracts with governmental entities, delays or advancements in the
approval of projects and delays in the reimbursement for shared costs; (m)
risks associated with the impact of pandemics, regional conflicts, such as the
Russia-Ukraine war and the conflict in the Middle East, and a significant
cyber security, data privacy or IT incident; (n) the pace of the energy
transition; and (o) changes in trading conditions. No assurance is provided
that future dividend payments will match or exceed previous dividend payments.
All forward-looking statements contained in this Unaudited Condensed Interim
Financial Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary
statements contained or referred to in this section. Readers should 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 and amendment
thereto 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 Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report and should be
considered by the reader. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the
date of this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report, October 30, 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 Unaudited Condensed Interim
Financial Report.
Shell’s net carbon intensity
Also, in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report 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 Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report may contain certain
forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as cash capital expenditure and
Adjusted Earnings. 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.
