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.

PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENTS

 

Upstream

In October 2025, we announced, together with Sunlink Energies and Resources Limited, a final investment decision (FID) on the HI gas project offshore Nigeria (Shell interest 40%).

 

Marketing

In September 2025, we announced the decision not to restart the construction of the planned biofuels facility at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park in Rotterdam, which was paused in 2024. Following an in-depth commercial and technical evaluation to reassess the project's competitiveness, Shell will no longer proceed with the project.

 

Chemicals and Products

In July 2025, we completed the previously announced sale of our 16.125% interest in Colonial Enterprises, Inc. to Colossus Acquire Co LLC.

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.

 

1.All earnings amounts are shown post-tax, unless stated otherwise.

2.Adjusted EBITDA is without taxation, exploration well write-offs and DD&A expenses.

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.

The Marketing segment comprises the Mobility, Lubricants, and Sectors and Decarbonisation businesses. The Mobility business operates Shell's retail network including electric vehicle charging services and the Wholesale commercial fuels business which provides fuels for transport and industry. The Lubricants business produces, markets and sells lubricants for road transport, and machinery used in manufacturing, mining, power generation, agriculture and construction. The Sectors and Decarbonisation business sells fuels, speciality products and services including low-carbon energy solutions to a broad range of commercial customers including the aviation, marine, and agricultural sectors.

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 driven by Adjusted EBITDA. This inflow was partly offset by working capital outflows of $220 million, the timing impact of payments related to emission certificates and biofuel programmes of $135 million, and tax payments of $111 million.

Marketing sales volumes (comprising hydrocarbon sales), compared with the second quarter 2025, increased mainly due to seasonality.

 

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 higher Marketing margins (increase of $292 million) including higher Mobility and Lubricants margins due to improved unit margins, partly offset by lower Sectors and Decarbonisation margins, as well as lower operating expenses (decrease of $201 million).

Identified items in the first nine months 2025 included net impairment charges and reversals of $857 million and provisions of $186 million2, both of which included the impact of 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 first nine months 2024 which included impairment charges of $965 million, charges of $163 million related to redundancy and restructuring, and net losses of $140 million related to the sale of assets.

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, the timing impact of payments related to emission certificates and biofuel programmes of $920 million and dividends (net of profits/

losses) from joint ventures and associates of $421 million. These inflows were partly offset by working capital outflows of $497 million and tax payments of $417 million.

Marketing sales volumes (comprising hydrocarbon sales), compared with the first nine months 2024, decreased mainly in Mobility, due to portfolio changes, and in Sectors and Decarbonisation.

The Chemicals and Products segment includes chemicals manufacturing plants with their own marketing network, and refineries which turn crude oil and other feedstocks into a range of oil products which are moved and marketed around the world for domestic, industrial and transport use. The segment also includes the pipeline business, trading and optimisation of crude oil, oil products and petrochemicals, and Oil Sands activities (the extraction of bitumen from mined oil sands and its conversion into synthetic crude oil).

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 Products margins (increase of $706 million) mainly driven by higher margins from trading and optimisation, and higher refining margins. Adjusted Earnings also reflected higher Chemicals margins (increase of $96 million). These net gains were partly offset by unfavourable tax movements ($200 million) and higher operating expenses (increase of $133 million).

In the third quarter 2025, Chemicals had negative Adjusted Earnings of $207 million and Products had positive Adjusted Earnings of $758 million.

Identified items in the third quarter 2025 included net gains from the sale of assets of $710 million mainly relating to gains from the sale of our interest in Colonial Enterprises, Inc., and impairment charges of $107 million. These net gains compare with the second quarter 2025 which included impairment charges of $62 million.

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, the timing impact of payments for emission certificates and biofuel programmes of $493 million, and working capital inflows of $143 million. These inflows were partly offset by net cash outflows related to commodity derivatives of $165 million.

Refinery utilisation was 96% compared with 94% in the second quarter 2025.

Chemicals manufacturing plant utilisation was 80% compared with 72% in the second quarter 2025, mainly due to lower unplanned maintenance.

 

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 Products margins (decrease of $1,619 million) driven mainly by lower margins from trading and optimisation and lower refining margins. Adjusted Earnings also reflected lower Chemicals margins (decrease of $458 million) and unfavourable tax movements ($168 million). These net losses were partly offset by lower operating expenses (decrease of $205 million).

In the first nine months 2025, Chemicals had negative Adjusted Earnings of $536 million and Products had positive Adjusted Earnings of $1,654 million.

Identified items in the first nine months 2025 included net gains from the sale of assets of $691 million mainly relating to gains from the sale of our interest in Colonial Enterprises, Inc., impairment charges of $447 million, unfavourable movements of $168 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives, and charges of $70 million related to redundancy and restructuring. 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. These net charges and unfavourable movements compare with the first nine months 2024 which included net impairment charges and reversals of $952 million mainly relating to assets in Singapore, charges of $139 million related to redundancy and restructuring, and unfavourable movements of $69 million relating to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives.

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 the timing impact of payments for emission certificates and biofuel programmes of $985 million. These inflows were partly offset by net cash outflows relating to commodity derivatives of $669 million, working capital outflows of $555 million, and non-cash cost of supplies adjustment of $318 million.

Refinery utilisation was 91% compared with 88% in the first nine months 2024, , mainly due to lower planned and unplanned maintenance in 2025.

Chemicals manufacturing plant utilisation was 78% compared with 77% in the first nine months 2024.

 

1.All earnings amounts are shown post-tax, unless stated otherwise.

2.Adjusted EBITDA is without taxation and DD&A expenses.
