Strong production and refining performance
Produced 2.3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day; refining availability was above the 96% target and throughput exceeded 1.5 million barrels per day — the highest quarterly throughput in four years.
Robust near-term cash generation
Reported $3.2 billion of underlying net income and $8.9 billion of operating cash flow (before a $6.0 billion working capital build), supporting liquidity and deleveraging actions.
Exploration success and future resource base
Announced 14 discoveries since the start of 2025, including the large Bumerangue discovery (reported ~8 billion barrels in place). Reserve replacement improved to ~90% (≈76% excluding price effects) with a target of 100% replacement by 2027.
Portfolio simplification and strategic disposals
Progress on simplifying the portfolio with the agreed sale of the Gelsenkirchen refinery and prior close of the Castrol transaction (material positive for the balance sheet), plus an increased focus on identifying non-core assets for disposal.
Balance sheet and capital structure actions
Announced plan to reduce the corporate hybrid stack by over $4 billion by end-2027 (subject to market conditions) and reiterated commitment to deliver the net-debt target, reflecting a clear drive to strengthen the balance sheet.
Operational and cost discipline
Delivered another $300 million of structural cost reductions and reported being ~70% delivered against the previously stated 4%–5% structural reduction target; maintained a tightened CapEx frame (management reiterated a disciplined 2‑year capex range).
Trading and LNG portfolio strength
Trading captured significant oil-market value amid volatility; LNG strategic portfolio grew to ~27 Mtpa with ~15 Mtpa of incremental merchant volumes, and >90% of cargoes can be reoptimized before delivery.
