3Q 2026 financial results summary(a)

•Profit for the quarter attributable to bp shareholders was $4.7 billion, compared with $3.9 billion for the second quarter 2026 and $1.2 billion for the third quarter 2025. The result for the third quarter 2026 is adjusted for inventory holding gains* of $2.0 billion (pre-tax) and a net adverse impact of adjusting items* of $5.9 billion (pre-tax) to derive the underlying RC profit*. Adjusting items include adverse pre-tax fair value accounting effects* of $0.5 billion and pre-tax net impairments of $4.1 billion (see page 27 for more information on adjusting items).

•Underlying RC profit for the quarter was $8.5 billion, compared with $5.7 billion for the previous quarter and $2.2 billion for the third quarter 2025. Compared with the second quarter 2026, the underlying result mainly reflects significantly higher realized refining margins and significantly higher gas and marketing trading result.

•Operating cash flow for the quarter was $14.8 billion, compared with $7.8 billion for the same period in 2025.

•Finance debt was $55.4 billion at the end of the third quarter compared with $58.0 billion at the end of the fourth quarter 2025.

•Net debt* was $13.9 billion at the end of the third quarter compared with $22.2 billion at the end of the fourth quarter 2025.

Segment results

•Gas & low carbon energy: The RC profit before interest and tax for the third quarter 2026 was $0.2 billion, compared with $1.6 billion for the previous quarter. After adjusting RC profit before interest and tax for a net adverse impact of adjusting items of $3.0 billion, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax* for the third quarter was $3.2 billion, compared with $2.1 billion in the second quarter 2026. This reflects higher realizations which include the impact of changes in non-Henry Hub natural gas marker prices. The gas marketing and trading result was significantly higher than the second quarter 2026.

•Oil production & operations: The RC profit before interest and tax for the third quarter 2026 was $3.4 billion, compared with $3.4 billion for the previous quarter. After adjusting RC profit before interest and tax for a net adverse impact of adjusting items of $0.1 billion, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax for the third quarter was $3.5 billion, compared with $3.6 billion for the second quarter 2026. This reflects lower liquids realizations partly offset by lower exploration write-offs.

•Customers & products: The RC profit before interest and tax for the third quarter 2026 was $4.8 billion, compared with $5.1 billion for the previous quarter. After adjusting RC profit before interest and tax for a net adverse impact of adjusting items of $2.2 billion, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax (underlying result) for the third quarter was $6.9 billion, compared with $5.0 billion in the second quarter 2026. The customers third quarter underlying result was lower by $0.5 billion, reflecting weaker fuels margins and a lower result in Castrol and midstream, partly offset by higher volumes due to seasonal effects and lower underlying operating expenditure*. The products third quarter underlying result was higher by $2.5 billion. In refining, the result reflects significantly higher realized refining margins, stronger commercial optimization, lower turnaround and maintenance activity, and the absence of the impact of the prior-quarter third party event at Whiting, partially offset by lower earnings following the Gelsenkirchen divestment. The oil trading result was slightly higher compared with the second quarter.

(a)This report discusses certain material changes in bp’s results of operations with respect to the quarter ended 30 September 2026 as compared to the quarter ended 30 June 2026. Financial information for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 can be found in our Current Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on 4 August 2026.

Financial results

In addition to the highlights on page 4:

•Profit attributable to bp shareholders in the third quarter and nine months was $4.7 billion and $12.4 billion respectively, compared with $1.2 billion and $3.5 billion in the same periods of 2025.

–After adjusting profit attributable to bp shareholders for inventory holding gains* and net impact of adjusting items*, underlying replacement cost (RC) profit* for the third quarter and nine months was $8.5 billion and $17.4 billion respectively, compared with $2.2 billion and $5.9 billion for the same periods of 2025. The underlying RC profit for the third quarter and nine months compared with the same periods in 2025 mainly reflects significantly higher realized refining margins and higher realizations. The oil trading contribution and the gas marketing and trading result for the third quarter and nine months were significantly higher compared with the same periods in 2025. See pages 8, 10 and 12 for more information.

–Adjusting items in the third quarter and nine months had a net adverse pre-tax impact of $5.9 billion and $8.4 billion respectively, compared with a net adverse pre-tax impact of $0.9 billion and $2.0 billion in the same periods of 2025.

–Adjusting items for the third quarter and nine months include an adverse pre-tax impact of fair value accounting effects* of $0.5 billion and $0.7 billion respectively, compared with a favourable pre-tax impact of $0.2 billion and $1.7 billion in the same periods of 2025. In both the gas & low carbon energy and customers & products segments, fair value accounting effects represent the difference in treatment between management’s internal performance measure and IFRS. In customers & products, the significant third quarter 2026 movement reflects changes in market prices affecting the valuation of positions subject to fair value accounting. In other businesses & corporate, the movements are driven by foreign exchange and interest rates with a significant favourable impact in the nine months 2025.

–Adjusting items for third quarter and nine months also include an adverse pre-tax impairment impact of $4.1 billion and $5.3 billion respectively, compared with net impairment charges of $0.4 billion and $1.9 billion for the same periods in 2025. The 2026 charges are primarily attributable to transition businesses in the gas & low carbon energy segment.

•The effective tax rate (ETR) on the profit before taxation for the third quarter and nine months was 40% and 43% respectively, compared with 53% and 52% for the same periods in 2025. Excluding inventory holding gains or losses and adjusting items, the underlying ETR* for the third quarter and nine months was 28% and 31% respectively, compared with 39% and 41% for the same periods in 2025. The lower underlying ETR for the third quarter and nine months reflects changes in the geographical mix of profits, particularly due to the higher results in products. Underlying ETR is a non-IFRS measure.

•Operating cash flow for the third quarter and nine months was $14.8 billion and $28.5 billion respectively, compared with $7.8 billion and $16.9 billion for the same periods in 2025. The increases reflect the higher underlying earnings in the periods.

•Capital expenditure in the third quarter and nine months was $3.0 billion and $9.4 billion respectively, compared with $3.4 billion and $10.4 billion in the same periods of 2025 reflecting our decisions around capital spend.

•Total divestment and other proceeds for the third quarter and nine months were an outflow of $21 million and an inflow of $0.8 billion respectively, compared with inflows of $28 million and $1.7 billion for the same periods in 2025. There were no other proceeds in the third quarter 2026 and the third quarter 2025. Other proceeds for the nine months 2025 were $1.0 billion from the sale of a non-controlling interest in the subsidiary that holds our 12% share in the Trans-Anatolian natural gas pipeline (TANAP).

•Finance debt was $55.4 billion at the end of the third quarter compared with $58.0 billion at the end of the fourth quarter 2025. At the end of the third quarter, net debt* was $13.9 billion, compared with $22.2 billion at the end of the fourth quarter 2025.

Outlook & Guidance

4Q 2026 guidance

•Looking ahead, bp expects fourth quarter 2026 reported upstream production to be 2,090 to 2,230mboe/d. This includes the impact of continued disruption in the Middle East, activity phasing in bpx energy, seasonally lower gas demand and around 20mboe/d for a weather event in the Gulf of America, partly offset by the recovery from outages. The heightened volatility in the oil and gas prices could also impact PSA contracts.

•In its customers business, compared to the third quarter, bp expects a significantly lower result with seasonally lower volumes, a lower midstream result and lower Castrol earnings, subject to the anticipated completion of the divestment. Fuels margins and midstream performance are expected to remain sensitive to market conditions.

•In products, bp expects throughput of 1,160-1,210mb/d, reflecting the absence of Gelsenkirchen for the full quarter following its divestment on 31 July and higher maintenance activity. Refining margins are expected to remain elevated and sensitive to the cost of supply and market conditions.

•bp expects income taxes paid in the fourth quarter to be around $0.8 billion higher than the third quarter 2026 mainly due to the impact of higher profits on instalment payments.

2026 guidance

•bp now expects reported upstream production to be 2,210 to 2,250mboe/d, compared with the 2025, 2,312mboe/d. This includes the impact of disruption in the Middle East, the divestment of the Culzean gas field in the UK North Sea and bp's reduced equity interest in Latin America.

•In its customers business, bp expects to make continued progress growing cash flows, supported by lower underlying operating expenditure* driven by structural cost reductions*. These benefits will be partly offset by the earnings impact of completed and announced divestments. Reported earnings will benefit from lower depreciation as a result of the assets held for sale accounting treatment of Castrol following the planned divestment. Fuel margins are expected to remain sensitive to conditions and developments in the Middle East and any resulting policy responses.

•In products, bp expects throughput of 1,390 to 1,400mb/d, reflecting the completion of the Gelsenkirchen divestment and a significantly lower level of planned turnaround activity. Refining margins are expected to remain sensitive to the cost of supply and market conditions.

•bp continues to expect other businesses & corporate underlying annual charge to be around $1.0 billion for 2026. The charge may vary quarter to quarter.

•bp continues to expect the depreciation, depletion and amortization to be $17.0-17.5 billion.

•bp now expects the underlying ETR* for 2026 to be between 31% and 34%, which reflects the underlying ETR for the nine months of 31%. It is sensitive to a range of factors, including the volatility of the price environment and its impact on the geographical mix of the group’s profits and losses.

•bp continues to expect capital expenditure to be $13.5-14.0 billion.

•bp now expects divestment and other proceeds to be around $8 billion in 2026, including approximately $6 billion from the announced Castrol divestment.

•bp continues to expect Gulf of America settlement payments for the year to be around $1.6 billion pre-tax including $0.4 billion pre-tax paid during the first quarter and $1.1 billion pre-tax paid during the second quarter. The timing of the payment of the recently announced $350 million settlement with the US state of Louisiana is still to be determined.

Financial results

•The replacement cost (RC) profit before interest and tax for the third quarter and nine months was $208 million and $2,826 million respectively, compared with $1,097 million and $3,502 million for the same periods in 2025. The third quarter and nine months are adjusted by an adverse impact of net adjusting items* of $2,975 million and $3,815 million respectively, compared with an adverse impact of net adjusting items of $422 million and $476 million for the same periods in 2025.

–Adjusting items include an impairment charge of $3,365 million and a net impairment charge of $3,890 million for the third quarter and nine months in 2026, primarily related to the group's transition businesses, compared with net charges of $135 million and $881 million for the same periods in 2025.

–Adjusting items also include the impacts of fair value accounting effects*, relative to management's internal measure of performance, which are a favourable impact of $644 million and $576 million for the third quarter and nine months in 2026, and a favourable impact of $131 million and $817 million for the same periods in 2025. See page 27 for more information on adjusting items.

•After adjusting RC profit before interest and tax for adjusting items, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax* for the third quarter and nine months was $3,183 million and $6,641 million respectively, compared with $1,519 million and $3,978 million for the same periods in 2025.

•The underlying RC profit before interest and tax for the third quarter compared with the same period in 2025, primarily reflects higher realizations. The gas marketing and trading result was significantly higher.

•The underlying RC profit before interest and tax for the nine months compared with the same period in 2025, reflects higher realizations, a lower depreciation, depletion and amortization charge and higher income from equity-accounted entities. The gas marketing and trading result was significantly higher.

Operational update

•Reported production for the quarter was 784mboe/d, 2.6% lower than the same period in 2025. Underlying production was 1.8% lower primarily due to base decline in Egypt partly offset by ramp up of major projects.

•Reported production for the nine months was 783mboe/d, 0.2% lower than the same period in 2025. Underlying production was 0.4% higher mainly due to ramp up of major projects partly offset by base decline.

Strategic progress

•In August, bp agreed to acquire Woodside Energy’s 70% interest in Block TTDAA 14, the Calypso gas project in Trinidad and Tobago, increasing bp’s stake to 100% and assuming operatorship. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals.

•In August, bp and the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela signed agreements to advance offshore gas development, including the award of an exploration and production licence for Phase 2 of the Loran field in the Plataforma Deltana area. The licence has been granted with bp as operator and in partnership with XRG and UCC Oil and Gas Holding LLC, with each party holding an equal working interest share.

•In August, bp agreed terms for the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago Limited to acquire a 20% participating interest in Block 5(b), aligning interests across the Manakin-Cocuina cross-border gas development between Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela, subject to regulatory approvals.

•In September, bp entered into an agreement to sell a 5% interest in the Browse project in Western Australia to Osaka Gas Browse Pty Ltd, reducing bp's working interest to 34.33%. The transaction is subject to regulatory and partner approvals.

•In September, bp completed the farm down in Indonesia, of a 50% participating interest in the bp operated Agung I and Agung II exploration blocks to INPEX, reducing bp’s working interest to 50%.

Financial results

•The replacement cost (RC) profit before interest and tax for the third quarter and nine months was $3,405 million and $8,457 million respectively, compared with $2,119 million and $6,823 million for the same periods in 2025. The third quarter and nine months are adjusted by an adverse impact of net adjusting items* of $129 million and $639 million respectively, compared with an adverse impact of net adjusting items of $180 million and $633 million for the same periods in 2025. See page 27 for more information on adjusting items.

•After adjusting RC profit before interest and tax for adjusting items, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax* for the third quarter and nine months was $3,534 million and $9,096 million respectively, compared with $2,299 million and $7,456 million for the same periods in 2025.

•The underlying RC profit before interest and tax for the third quarter, compared with the same period in 2025, primarily reflects higher realizations partly offset by divestment of the Culzean gas field in the UK North Sea.

•The underlying RC profit before interest and tax for the nine months, compared with the same period in 2025, reflects higher realizations, partly offset by higher exploration write-offs mainly due to the sale of Bay du Nord in Canada and the divestment of the Culzean gas field in the UK North Sea.

Operational update

•Reported production for the quarter was 1,436mboe/d, 7.8% lower than the same period in 2025. Underlying production for the quarter was 1.1% lower mainly due to maintenance and base decline partly offset by higher production in bpx energy.

•Reported production for the nine months was 1,470mboe/d, 3.1% lower than the same period in 2025. Underlying production for the nine months was 2.1% higher mainly due to higher production in bpx energy and ramp up of major projects partly offset by seasonal maintenance.

Strategic progress

•In August, bp was the highest bidder on five blocks in the BBG-3 Gulf of America lease sale.

•In August, Aker BP started production from the Skarv Satellite Project (bp interest in Aker BP 15.9%), which comprises the Alve Nord, Idun Nord and Ørn fields in the Norwegian Sea.

•In September, bp agreed terms for Shell to acquire a 50% stake in the Tupinambá exploration block in the Santos Basin, offshore Brazil, in addition to a 30% stake in five leases containing the Conifer exploration prospect in the deepwater Gulf of America Paleogene. bp will retain the remaining 50% interest in Tupinambá and 70% in Conifer and continue as operator in both. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals.

•In September, bp on behalf of the partnership, reached an agreement to transport and process third-party gas and condensate from the Absheron field in Azerbaijan. Gas will be transported through the South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP), while condensate will be processed at the bp-operated Shah Deniz 2 gas plant and transported through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline.

Financial results

•The replacement cost (RC) profit before interest and tax for the third quarter and nine months was $4,796 million and $12,348 million respectively, compared with $1,610 million and $2,685 million for the same periods in 2025. The third quarter and nine months are adjusted by an adverse impact of net adjusting items* of $2,152 million and $2,757 million respectively, compared with an adverse impact of net adjusting items of $106 million and $1,241 million for the same periods in 2025. See page 27 for more information on adjusting items.

•After adjusting RC profit before interest and tax for adjusting items, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax* (underlying result) for the third quarter and nine months was $6,948 million and $15,105 million respectively, compared with $1,716 million and $3,926 million for the same periods in 2025.

•The customers & products underlying result for the third quarter and nine months was significantly higher compared with the same periods in 2025, reflecting a stronger performance across both sub-segments.

•customers – the customers underlying result for the third quarter was slightly higher compared with the same period in 2025, reflecting a stronger midstream performance and lower underlying operating expenditure*, largely offset by lower fuels margins and a lower contribution from bioenergy. The customers underlying result for the nine months was significantly higher compared with the same period in 2025, driven by a stronger midstream performance, higher earnings in Castrol and a lower underlying operating expenditure and depreciation, partly offset by lower fuels volumes and margins, and a lower contribution from bioenergy.

•products – the products underlying result for the third quarter and nine months was significantly higher compared with the same periods in 2025. In refining, the third quarter result benefited from significantly higher realized refining margins, stronger commercial optimization, and lower turnaround activity. In refining, the result for the nine months benefited from significantly higher realized refining margins, stronger commercial optimization and crude selection timing effect, and significantly lower turnaround activity, partly offset by production impacts from operational and maintenance events. The oil trading contribution for the third quarter and nine months was significantly higher compared with the same periods in 2025.

Operational update

•bp-operated refining availability for the third quarter and nine months was 96.5% and 95.8% respectively, lower compared with 96.6% and 96.4% for the same periods in 2025.

Strategic progress

•In New Zealand, bp committed to securing additional diesel and jet fuel storage capacity at Channel Infrastructure, strengthening fuel supply resilience and supporting future customer demand.

•The Castrol divestment is expected imminently and remains on track to complete within agreed timelines.

Notes

Note 1. 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 periods presented herein are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for each period. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. This report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended 31 December 2025 included in bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2025.

bp prepares its consolidated financial statements included within bp Annual Report and Form 20-F on the basis of United Kingdom adopted international accounting standards and IFRS® Accounting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), IFRS as adopted by the European Union (EU), and in accordance with the provisions of the UK Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under international accounting standards. IFRS as adopted by the UK does not differ from IFRS as adopted by the EU. IFRS as adopted by the UK and EU differ in certain respects from IFRS as issued by the IASB. The differences have no impact on the group’s consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The financial information presented herein has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies expected to be used in preparing bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2026, which are the same as those used in preparing bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2025.

New standards and amendments to IFRS

On 1 January 2026, bp adopted the amendments to IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ relating to the settlement of liabilities through electronic payment systems using the modified retrospective approach. The impact to the interim financial information upon transition was a $34 million increase to cash and cash equivalents.

Significant accounting judgements and estimates

bp's significant accounting judgements and estimates were disclosed in bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2025. These have been subsequently considered at the end of this quarter to determine if any changes were required to those judgements and estimates.

Considerations in respect of ongoing geopolitical instability in the Middle East and impact on the economic environment

The impact of ongoing geopolitical instability in the Middle East and the associated economic developments have been considered for the basis of preparation for the interim financial information. Such factors include the economic effect of price volatility, supply disruptions in the region, operability of producing assets and discount rates.

Impairment testing assumptions

As a result of ongoing geopolitical instability in the Middle East and the related economic impact, the group’s value-in-use impairment testing price assumptions for Brent oil and Henry Hub gas were revised during the third quarter from those disclosed in the bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2025, and also revised since the second quarter 2026. The group has updated its estimate of Brent oil prices to $87/bbl (previously $70/bbl) and Henry Hub gas prices to $3.18/mmBtu (previously $3.80/mmBtu) in real 2024 terms on an average basis for the full year 2026. With reference to the Brent price, this estimate assumes ongoing supply disruptions resulting from geopolitical instability in the Middle East into 2027. With regard to the Henry Hub gas price assumption, the price decrease is based on an expectation of strong production growth for the remainder of 2026 and into 2027 in the US domestic market. No material impairment or reversal of impairment arose in the third quarter 2026 interim period as a result of the changes to these commodity price assumptions. The post-tax discount rate used for value-in-use impairment testing of assets other than certain low carbon energy assets was maintained at 8% (31 December 2025 8%).

Segmentation

Reportable segments for external financial reporting will remain Oil production & operations, Gas & low carbon energy and Customers & products until 31 December 2026, as the financial reporting aspects of the new segment model announced on 9 June 2026 will take time to implement. Until the new reporting segments take effect from the financial year beginning 1 January 2027, decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment of segments will continue to be made on the existing segmental internal reporting regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker.

Note 7. Earnings per share and shares in issue

Basic earnings per ordinary share (EpS) amounts are calculated by dividing the profit (loss) for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

The calculation of EpS is performed separately for each discrete quarterly period, and for the year-to-date period. As a result, the sum of the discrete quarterly EpS amounts in any particular year-to-date period may not be equal to the EpS amount for the year-to-date period.

For the diluted EpS calculation the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for the number of shares that are potentially issuable in connection with employee share-based payment plans using the treasury stock method.

Note 8. Dividends

Dividends payable

bp today announced an interim dividend of 8.660 cents per ordinary share which is expected to be paid on 18 December 2026 to ordinary shareholders and American Depositary Share (ADS) holders on the register on 13 November 2026. The ex-dividend date will be 12 November 2026 for ordinary shareholders and 13 November 2026 for ADS holders. The corresponding amount in sterling is due to be announced on 8 December 2026, calculated based on the average of the market exchange rates over three dealing days between 2 December 2026 and 4 December 2026. Holders of ADSs are expected to receive $0.5196 per ADS (less applicable fees). The board has decided not to offer a scrip dividend alternative in respect of the third quarter 2026 dividend. Ordinary shareholders and ADS holders (subject to certain exceptions) will be able to participate in a dividend reinvestment programme. Details of the third quarter dividend and timetable are available at bp.com/dividends and further details of the dividend reinvestment programmes are available at bp.com/drip.

(b)Derivative financial instruments entered into for the purpose of managing foreign currency exchange risk associated with net debt with a fair value liability position of $103 million at 30 September 2026 (third quarter 2025 liability of $94 million, fourth quarter 2025 liability of $94 million) are not included in the calculation of net debt shown above as hedge accounting is not applied for these instruments.

(c)Net debt does not include accrued interest, which is reported within other receivables and other payables on the balance sheet and for which the associated cash flows are presented as operating cash flows in the group cash flow statement.

As part of actively managing its debt portfolio, in the third quarter and nine months 2026, the group bought back $1.0 billion of finance debt consisting entirely of US dollar bonds. These transactions have no significant impact on net debt or gearing.

Note 10. Update on bp’s sale of a 65% shareholding in the Castrol business

On 24 December 2025, bp announced an agreement with Stonepeak to divest a 65% shareholding in the Castrol business with bp retaining a 35% interest through a holding in a newly incorporated entity.

The sale is expected to complete imminently. The related assets and liabilities of the business, previously classified as held for sale, will be derecognised as of that date. Proceeds from the sale of the business, net of cash disposed, are estimated to be $6 billion. The shares to be held by Stonepeak after the transaction closes are subject to preferred distributions, the effect of which is that bp does not expect to recognize income or dividends from the investment in the short to medium term.

(b)Under IFRS bp marks-to-market the value of the hedges used to risk-manage LNG contracts, but not the contracts themselves, resulting in a mismatch in accounting treatment. The fair value accounting effect includes the change in value of LNG contracts that are being risk managed, and the underlying result reflects how bp risk-manages its LNG contracts.

Third quarter and nine months 2026 also include the income statement impact of the buyback of finance debt (see Note 9 for further information).

(f)Includes certain foreign exchange effects on tax as adjusting items. These amounts represent the impact of: (i) foreign exchange on deferred tax balances arising from the conversion of local currency tax base amounts into functional currency, and (ii) taxable gains and losses from the retranslation of US dollar-denominated intra-group loans to local currency.

(g)Nine months 2026 includes the impact of the reassessment of the recognition of deferred tax assets.

(h)Nine months 2026 and nine months 2025 include revisions to the deferred tax impact of the introduction of the UK Energy Profits Levy (EPL) on temporary differences existing at the opening balance sheet date. The EPL increases the headline rate of tax on taxable profits from bp’s North Sea business to 78%. In the first quarter 2025 a two-year extension of the EPL to 31 March 2030 was substantively enacted. Third quarter 2025 and nine months 2025 include the deferred tax impact of a change in the tax rate in Germany.

Legal proceedings

The following discussion sets out the material developments in the group’s material legal proceedings following the publication of bp’s second quarter and first half 2026 results.

For a full discussion of the group’s material legal proceedings, see pages 236-237 of bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2025.

Louisiana Coastal restoration

bp has reached agreement to settle all remaining governmental land loss claims brought by the coastal Louisiana parishes and the State of Louisiana to which bp entities are named defendants. The terms of the agreement are confidential to the parties but are not expected to have a significant effect on the company’s financial position or profitability.

bp entities remain as defendants in two private landowner cases which have been filed in Louisiana state courts seeking restoration damages related to alleged impacts to their marshlands associated with historic oil field operations. These cases are not expected to have a significant effect on the company’s financial position or profitability and in future reports bp will not report on these proceedings absent any material developments.

Glossary

Non-IFRS measures are provided for investors because they are closely tracked by management to evaluate bp’s operating performance and to make financial, strategic and operating decisions. Non-IFRS measures are sometimes referred to as alternative performance measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure presented for bp's operating segments and is defined as replacement cost (RC) profit before interest and tax, adjusting for net adjusting items* before interest and tax, and adding back depreciation, depletion and amortization and exploration write-offs (net of adjusting items). Adjusted EBITDA by business is a further analysis of adjusted EBITDA for the customers & products businesses. bp believes it is helpful to disclose adjusted EBITDA by operating segment and by business because it reflects how the segments measure underlying business delivery. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis for the segment is RC profit or loss before interest and tax, which is bp's measure of profit or loss that is required to be disclosed for each operating segment under IFRS. A reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 30 for the segments.

Adjusted operating expenditure is a non-IFRS measure and a subset of production and manufacturing expenses plus distribution and administration expenses. It represents the majority of the remaining expenses in these line items but excludes certain costs that are variable, primarily with volumes (such as freight costs). Other variable costs are included in purchases in the income statement. Management believes that adjusted operating expenditure is a performance measure that provides investors with useful information regarding the company’s financial performance because it considers these expenses to be the principal operating and overhead expenses that are most directly under their control although they also include certain adjusting items*, foreign exchange and commodity price effects. The nearest IFRS measures are production and manufacturing expenses and distributions and administration expenses. A reconciliation of production and manufacturing expenses plus distribution and administration expenses to adjusted operating expenditure is provided on page 29.

Adjusting items are items that bp discloses separately because it considers such disclosures to be meaningful and relevant to investors. They are items that management considers to be important to period-on-period analysis of the group's results and are disclosed in order to enable investors to better understand and evaluate the group’s reported financial performance. Adjusting items include gains and losses on the sale of businesses and fixed assets, impairments, environmental and related provisions and charges, restructuring, integration and rationalization costs, fair value accounting effects and costs relating to the Gulf of America oil spill and other items. Adjusting items within equity-accounted earnings are reported net of incremental income tax reported by the equity-accounted entity. Adjusting items are used as a reconciling adjustment to derive underlying RC profit or loss and related underlying measures which are non-IFRS measures. An analysis of adjusting items by segment and type is shown on page 27.

Capital expenditure is total cash capital expenditure as stated in the condensed group cash flow statement. Capital expenditure for the operating segments, gas & low carbon energy businesses and customers & products businesses is presented on the same basis.

Consolidation adjustment – UPII is unrealized profit in inventory arising on inter-segment transactions.

Divestment proceeds are disposal proceeds as per the condensed group cash flow statement.

Table of contents

Glossary (continued)

Fair value accounting effects are non-IFRS adjustments to our IFRS profit (loss). They reflect the difference between the way bp manages the economic exposure and internally measures performance of certain activities and the way those activities are measured under IFRS. Fair value accounting effects are included within adjusting items. They relate to certain of the group's commodity, interest rate and currency risk exposures as detailed below. Other than as noted below, the fair value accounting effects described are reported in both the gas & low carbon energy and customer & products segments.

bp uses derivative instruments to manage the economic exposure relating to inventories above normal operating requirements of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products. Under IFRS, these inventories are recorded at historical cost. The related derivative instruments, however, are required to be recorded at fair value with gains and losses recognized in the income statement. This is because hedge accounting is either not permitted or not followed, principally due to the impracticality of effectiveness-testing requirements. Therefore, measurement differences in relation to recognition of gains and losses occur. Gains and losses on these inventories, other than net realizable value provisions, are not recognized until the commodity is sold in a subsequent accounting period. Gains and losses on the related derivative commodity contracts are recognized in the income statement, from the time the derivative commodity contract is entered into, on a fair value basis using forward prices consistent with the contract maturity.

bp enters into physical commodity contracts to meet certain business requirements, such as the purchase of crude for a refinery or the sale of bp’s gas production. Under IFRS these physical contracts are treated as derivatives and are required to be fair valued when they are managed as part of a larger portfolio of similar transactions. Gains and losses arising are recognized in the income statement from the time the derivative commodity contract is entered into.

IFRS require that inventory held for trading is recorded at its fair value using period-end spot prices, whereas any related derivative commodity instruments are required to be recorded at values based on forward prices consistent with the contract maturity. Depending on market conditions, these forward prices can be either higher or lower than spot prices, resulting in measurement differences.

bp enters into contracts for pipelines and other transportation, storage capacity, oil and gas processing, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and certain gas and power contracts that, under IFRS, are recorded on an accruals basis. These contracts are risk-managed using a variety of derivative instruments that are fair valued under IFRS. This results in measurement differences in relation to recognition of gains and losses.

The way that bp manages the economic exposures described above, and measures performance internally, differs from the way these activities are measured under IFRS. bp calculates this difference for consolidated entities by comparing the IFRS result with management’s internal measure of performance. We believe that disclosing management’s estimate of this difference provides useful information for investors because it enables investors to see the economic effect of these activities as a whole.

These include:

•Under management’s internal measure of performance the inventory, transportation and capacity contracts in question are valued based on fair value using relevant forward prices prevailing at the end of the period.

•Fair value accounting effects also include changes in the fair value of the near-term portions of LNG contracts that fall within bp’s risk management framework. LNG contracts are not considered derivatives, because there is insufficient market liquidity, and they are therefore accrual accounted under IFRS. However, oil and natural gas derivative financial instruments used to risk manage the near-term portions of the LNG contracts are fair valued under IFRS. The fair value accounting effect, which is reported in the gas and low carbon energy segment, represents the change in value of LNG contracts that are being risk managed and which is reflected in the underlying result, but not in reported earnings. Management believes that this gives a better representation of performance in each period.

Furthermore, the fair values of derivative instruments used to risk manage certain other oil, gas, power and other contracts, are deferred to match with the underlying exposure. The commodity contracts for business requirements are accounted for on an accruals basis.

In addition, fair value accounting effects include changes in the fair value of derivatives entered into by the group to manage currency exposure and interest rate risks relating to hybrid bonds to their respective first call periods. The hybrid bonds which are classified as equity instruments were recorded in the balance sheet at their issuance date at their USD equivalent issued value. Under IFRS these equity instruments are not remeasured from period to period, and do not qualify for application of hedge accounting. The derivative instruments relating to the hybrid bonds, however, are required to be recorded at fair value with mark to market gains and losses recognized in the income statement. Therefore, measurement differences in relation to the recognition of gains and losses occur. The fair value accounting effect, which is reported in the other businesses & corporate segment, eliminates the fair value gains and losses of these derivative financial instruments that are recognized in the income statement. We believe that this gives a better representation of performance, by more appropriately reflecting the economic effect of these risk management activities, in each period.

Glossary (continued)

Gas & low carbon energy segment comprises our gas and low carbon businesses. Our gas business includes regions with upstream activities that predominantly produce natural gas, gas trading and our Archaea Energy business. Our low carbon business includes solar, offshore wind, hydrogen and CCS, and power trading, and until December 2025 also included onshore wind. Power trading and marketing includes trading of both renewable and non-renewable power.

Gearing and gearing including leases are non-IFRS measures. See Net debt or net debt including leases below.

Hydrocarbons – Liquids and natural gas. Natural gas is converted to oil equivalent at 5.8 billion cubic feet = 1 million barrels.

Inorganic capital expenditure is a subset of capital expenditure on a cash basis and a non-IFRS measure. Inorganic capital expenditure comprises consideration in business combinations and certain other significant investments made by the group. It is reported on a cash basis. bp believes that this measure provides useful information as it allows investors to understand how bp’s management invests funds in projects which expand the group’s activities through acquisition. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is capital expenditure on a cash basis. Further information and a reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 26.

Inventory holding gains and losses are non-IFRS adjustments to our IFRS profit (loss) and represent:

•the difference between the cost of sales calculated using the replacement cost of inventory and the cost of sales calculated on the first-in first-out (FIFO) method after adjusting for any changes in provisions where the net realizable value of the inventory is lower than its cost. Under the FIFO method, which we use for IFRS reporting of inventories other than for trading inventories, the cost of inventory charged to the income statement is based on its historical cost of purchase or manufacture, rather than its replacement cost. In volatile energy markets, this can have a significant distorting effect on reported income. The amounts disclosed as inventory holding gains and losses represent the difference between the charge to the income statement for inventory on a FIFO basis (after adjusting for any related movements in net realizable value provisions) and the charge that would have arisen based on the replacement cost of inventory. For this purpose, the replacement cost of inventory is calculated using data from each operation’s production and manufacturing system, either on a monthly basis, or separately for each transaction where the system allows this approach; and

•an adjustment relating to certain trading inventories that are not price risk managed which relate to a minimum inventory volume that is required to be held to maintain underlying business activities. This adjustment represents the movement in fair value of the inventories due to prices, on a grade by grade basis, during the period. This is calculated from each operation’s inventory management system on a monthly basis using the discrete monthly movement in market prices for these inventories.

The amounts disclosed are not separately reflected in the financial statements as a gain or loss. No adjustment is made in respect of the cost of inventories held as part of a trading position and certain other temporary inventory positions that are price risk-managed. See Replacement cost (RC) profit or loss definition below.

Liquids – Liquids comprises crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids. For the oil production & operations segment, it also includes bitumen.

Major projects have a bp net investment of at least $250 million, or are considered to be of strategic importance to bp or of a high degree of complexity.

Net debt and gearing are non-IFRS measures. Net debt is calculated as finance debt, as shown in the balance sheet, plus the fair value of associated derivative financial instruments that are used to hedge foreign currency exchange and interest rate risks relating to finance debt, for which hedge accounting is applied, less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt does not include accrued interest, which is reported within other receivables and other payables on the balance sheet and for which the associated cash flows are presented as operating cash flows in the group cash flow statement. Gearing is defined as the ratio of net debt to the total of net debt plus total equity. bp believes these measures provide useful information to investors. Net debt enables investors to see the economic effect of finance debt, related hedges and cash and cash equivalents in total. Gearing enables investors to see how significant net debt is relative to total equity. The derivatives are reported on the balance sheet within the headings ‘Derivative financial instruments’. The nearest equivalent measures on an IFRS basis are finance debt and finance debt ratio. A reconciliation of finance debt to net debt is provided on page 25.

We are unable to present reconciliations of forward-looking information for net debt or gearing to finance debt and total equity, because without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to forecast accurately certain adjusting items required to present a meaningful comparable IFRS forward-looking financial measure. These items include fair value asset (liability) of hedges related to finance debt and cash and cash equivalents, that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in an IFRS estimate.

Net debt including leases and gearing including leases are non-IFRS measures. Net debt including leases is calculated as net debt plus lease liabilities, less the net amount of partner receivables and payables relating to leases entered into on behalf of joint operations. Gearing including leases is defined as the ratio of net debt including leases to the total of net debt including leases plus total equity. bp believes these measures provide useful information to investors as they enable investors to understand the impact of the group’s lease portfolio on net debt and gearing. The nearest equivalent measures on an IFRS basis are finance debt and finance debt ratio. A reconciliation of finance debt to net debt including leases is provided on page 28.

Operating cash flow is net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as stated in the condensed group cash flow statement.

Organic capital expenditure is a non-IFRS measure. Organic capital expenditure comprises capital expenditure on a cash basis less inorganic capital expenditure. bp believes that this measure provides useful information as it allows investors to understand how bp’s management invests funds in developing and maintaining the group’s assets. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is capital expenditure on a cash basis and a reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 26.

We are unable to present reconciliations of forward-looking information for organic capital expenditure to total cash capital expenditure, because without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to forecast accurately the adjusting item, inorganic capital expenditure, that is difficult to predict in advance in order to derive the nearest IFRS estimate.

Production-sharing agreement/contract (PSA/PSC) is an arrangement through which an oil and gas company bears the risks and costs of exploration, development and production. In return, if exploration is successful, the oil company receives entitlement to variable physical volumes of hydrocarbons, representing recovery of the costs incurred and a stipulated share of the production remaining after such cost recovery.

Realizations are the result of dividing revenue generated from hydrocarbon sales, excluding revenue generated from purchases made for resale and royalty volumes, by revenue generating hydrocarbon production volumes. Revenue generating hydrocarbon production reflects the bp share of production as adjusted for any production which does not generate revenue. Adjustments may include losses due to shrinkage, amounts consumed during processing, and contractual or regulatory host committed volumes such as royalties. For the gas & low carbon energy and oil production & operations segments, realizations include transfers between businesses.

Refining availability represents Solomon Associates’ operational availability for bp-operated refineries, which is defined as the percentage of the year that a unit is available for processing after subtracting the annualized time lost due to turnaround activity and all mechanical, process and regulatory downtime.

Refining indicator margin (RIM) is a simple indicator of the weighted average of bp’s crude slate and product yield as deemed representative for each refinery. Actual margins realized by bp may vary due to a variety of factors, including the actual mix of a crude and product for a given quarter.

Replacement cost (RC) profit or loss / RC profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders reflects the replacement cost of inventories sold in the period and is calculated as profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders, adjusting for inventory holding gains and losses (net of tax). RC profit or loss for the group is not a recognized IFRS measure. bp believes this measure is useful to illustrate to investors the fact that crude oil and product prices can vary significantly from period to period and that the impact on our reported result under IFRS can be significant. Inventory holding gains and losses vary from period to period due to changes in prices as well as changes in underlying inventory levels. In order for investors to understand the operating performance of the group excluding the impact of price changes on the replacement of inventories, and to make comparisons of operating performance between reporting periods, bp’s management believes it is helpful to disclose this measure. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders. A reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 3. RC profit or loss before interest and tax is bp's measure of profit or loss that is required to be disclosed for each operating segment under IFRS.

Structural cost reduction is calculated as decreases in underlying operating expenditure* (as defined on page 37) as a result of operational efficiencies, divestments, workforce reductions and other cost saving measures that are expected to be sustainable compared with 2023 levels. The total change between periods in underlying operating expenditure will reflect both structural cost reductions and other changes in spend, including market factors, such as inflation and foreign exchange impacts, as well as changes in activity levels and costs associated with new operations. Estimates of cumulative annual structural cost reduction may be revised depending on whether cost reductions realized in prior periods are determined to be sustainable compared with 2023 levels. Structural cost reductions are stewarded internally to support management’s oversight of spending over time.

bp believes this performance measure is useful in demonstrating how management drives cost discipline across the entire organization, simplifying our processes and portfolio and streamlining the way we work. The nearest IFRS measures are production and manufacturing expenses and distributions and administration expenses. A reconciliation of production and manufacturing expenses plus distribution and administration expenses to underlying operating expenditure is provided on page 29.

Technical service contract (TSC) – Technical service contract is an arrangement through which an oil and gas company bears the risks and costs of exploration, development and production. In return, the oil and gas company receives entitlement to variable physical volumes of hydrocarbons, representing recovery of the costs incurred and a profit margin which reflects incremental production added to the oilfield.

Tier 1 and tier 2 process safety events – Tier 1 events are losses of primary containment from a process of greatest consequence – causing harm to a member of the workforce, damage to equipment from a fire or explosion, a community impact or exceeding defined quantities. Tier 2 events are those of lesser consequence. These represent reported incidents occurring within bp’s operational HSSE reporting boundary. That boundary includes bp’s own operated facilities and certain other locations or situations. Reported process safety events are investigated throughout the year and as a result there may be changes in previously reported events. Therefore comparative movements are calculated against internal data reflecting the final outcomes of such investigations, rather than the previously reported comparative period, as this represents a more up to date reflection of the safety environment.

Underlying effective tax rate (ETR) is a non-IFRS measure. The underlying ETR is calculated by dividing taxation on an underlying replacement cost (RC) basis by underlying RC profit or loss before tax. Taxation on an underlying RC basis for the group is calculated as taxation as stated on the group income statement adjusted for taxation on inventory holding gains and losses and total taxation on adjusting items. Information on underlying RC profit or loss is provided below. Taxation on an underlying RC basis presented for the operating segments is calculated through an allocation of taxation on an underlying RC basis to each segment. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the underlying ETR because this measure may help investors to understand and evaluate, in the same manner as management, the underlying trends in bp’s operational performance on a comparable basis, period on period. Taxation on an underlying RC basis and underlying ETR are non-IFRS measures. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is the ETR on profit or loss for the period.

We are unable to present reconciliations of forward-looking information for underlying ETR to ETR on profit or loss for the period, because without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to forecast accurately certain adjusting items required to present a meaningful comparable IFRS forward-looking financial measure. These items include the taxation on inventory holding gains and losses and adjusting items, that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in an IFRS estimate. A reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 31.

Underlying operating expenditure is a non-IFRS measure and a subset of production and manufacturing expenses plus distribution and administration expenses and excludes costs that are classified as adjusting items. It represents the majority of the remaining expenses in these line items but excludes certain costs that are variable, primarily with volumes (such as freight costs). Other variable costs are included in purchases in the income statement. Management believes that underlying operating expenditure is a performance measure that provides investors with useful information regarding the company’s financial performance because it considers these expenses to be the principal operating and overhead expenses that are most directly under their control although they also include certain foreign exchange and commodity price effects. The nearest IFRS measures are production and manufacturing expenses and distribution and administration expenses. A reconciliation of production and manufacturing expenses plus distribution and administration expenses to underlying operating expenditure is provided on page 29.

Underlying production – 2026 underlying production, when compared with 2025, is production after adjusting for acquisitions and divestments, curtailments, and entitlement impacts in our production-sharing agreements/contracts and technical service contract.

Underlying RC profit or loss / underlying RC profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders is a non-IFRS measure and is RC profit or loss* (as defined on page 36) after excluding net adjusting items and related taxation. See page 27 for additional information on the adjusting items that are used to arrive at underlying RC profit or loss in order to enable a full understanding of the items and their financial impact.

Underlying RC profit or loss before interest and tax for the operating segments or customers & products businesses is calculated as RC profit or loss (as defined above) including profit or loss attributable to non-controlling interests before interest and tax for the operating segments and excluding net adjusting items for the respective operating segment or business.

bp believes that underlying RC profit or loss is a useful measure for investors because it is a measure closely tracked by management to evaluate bp’s operating performance and to make financial, strategic and operating decisions and because it may help investors to understand and evaluate, in the same manner as management, the underlying trends in bp’s operational performance on a comparable basis, period on period, by adjusting for the effects of these adjusting items. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis for the group is profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis for segments and businesses is RC profit or loss before interest and taxation. A reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 3 for the group and pages 8-14 for the segments.

Underlying RC profit or loss per share / underlying RC profit or loss per ADS is a non-IFRS measure. Earnings per share is defined in Note 7. Underlying RC profit or loss per ordinary share is calculated using the same denominator as earnings per share as defined in the consolidated financial statements. The numerator used is underlying RC profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders, rather than profit or loss attributable to bp ordinary shareholders. Underlying RC profit or loss per ADS is calculated as outlined above for underlying RC profit or loss per share except the denominator is adjusted to reflect one ADS equivalent to six ordinary shares. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the underlying RC profit or loss per ordinary share and per ADS because these measures may help investors to understand and evaluate, in the same manner as management, the underlying trends in bp’s operational performance on a comparable basis, period on period. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is basic earnings per share based on profit or loss for the period attributable to bp ordinary shareholders. A reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 31.

upstream includes oil and natural gas field development and production within the gas & low carbon energy and oil production & operations segments.

upstream/hydrocarbon plant reliability (bp-operated) is calculated taking 100% less the ratio of total unplanned plant deferrals divided by installed production capacity, excluding non-operated assets and bpx energy. Unplanned plant deferrals are associated with the topside plant and where applicable the subsea equipment (excluding wells and reservoir). Unplanned plant deferrals include breakdowns, which does not include Gulf of America weather related downtime.

upstream unit production costs are calculated as production cost divided by units of production. Production cost does not include ad valorem and severance taxes. Units of production are barrels for liquids and thousands of cubic feet for gas. Amounts disclosed are for bp subsidiaries only and do not include bp’s share of equity-accounted entities.

Working capital is movements in inventories and other current and non-current assets and liabilities as reported in the condensed group cash flow statement.
