Fiscal Year 2026

-
Strong Q1 2026 results with $3.2B net income and robust cash flow, despite Middle East disruptions and volatile markets. Upstream production remained resilient, refining margins improved, and capital discipline was emphasized for future growth.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
2025 saw a strong operational turnaround, with net income of $7.5B, 55% growth in adjusted free cash flow, and significant cost reductions. The company suspended buybacks to prioritize balance sheet strength and is targeting further growth through disciplined investment and major project execution.
-
Strong operational and financial results in 2025 were achieved despite weaker oil prices, with $7.5B underlying profit and $24.5B operating cash flow. Share buybacks were suspended to prioritize debt reduction, and over $11B in divestments were completed.

Q3 2025 saw strong operational and financial results, with record upstream production, robust cash flow, and significant exploration success, including the Bumerangue discovery. Capital discipline, cost reductions, and strategic divestments support upgraded guidance and a strengthened balance sheet.
-

-
Two scenarios show oil remains vital but shifts toward petrochemicals, while electrification and renewables surge. Geopolitical fragmentation and weak energy efficiency could slow the transition and increase fossil fuel use. Most expect a slower transition and higher gas demand by 2050.
-
Strong Q2 2025 results featured robust upstream growth, record exploration success, and disciplined cost reductions. Cash flow and earnings were driven by high operational reliability, tight refining margins, and strong trading, with further portfolio optimization and capital returns planned.
-
Strong operational and financial performance in H1 2025, with $2.4B underlying net income, $6.3B operating cash flow, and a 4% dividend increase. Upstream growth, cost reductions, and portfolio optimization underpin positive outlook.
-
Strong 1Q 2025 operational and financial performance with $4.5B pre-tax earnings and $1.4B net income. CapEx guidance lowered to $14.5B, divestment proceeds raised, and major upstream projects and discoveries support future growth.
-
Strong operational performance in Q1 2025 with major project startups and cost reductions, though gas and low carbon segments underperformed due to weak trading. CapEx was trimmed, divestments accelerated, and net debt rose on working capital build but is expected to decline.
-
A comprehensive strategic reset reallocates capital to high-return oil and gas, streamlines the portfolio with $20 billion in divestments, and targets $4–$5 billion in cost reductions by 2027. Transition business CapEx is sharply reduced, with a focus on capital-light, high-return projects. Key financial and sustainability targets are simplified and linked to management incentives.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Strategic progress in 2024 included portfolio reshaping, new projects, and cost reductions. Upstream production rose 2%, while refining faced challenges but is expected to recover. Dividend and buybacks increased, with a strategy reset and updated financial targets to be detailed soon.
-
2024 saw strong upstream production and cost reductions, but lower refining margins and trading results led to a decline in EBITDA and profits. Dividends and share buybacks increased, with new strategic and financial targets to be set at the upcoming capital markets update.
-
Q3 saw strong upstream performance and resilient operations, with $2.3B underlying profit, $7B in 2024 buybacks, and continued portfolio high-grading. Downstream and trading faced headwinds from weak oil trading and refining margins, but transition growth engines like EV charging and biogas showed robust growth.
-
Q3 underlying profit was $2.3B, down from Q2, with strong upstream production and ongoing cost-saving initiatives. Asset divestments and digital transformation are driving efficiency, while a $1.75B share buyback and resilient dividend highlight continued shareholder focus.
-
Q2 2024 saw strong operational performance, $8.1B in operating cash flow, and a 10% dividend hike. Cost reduction and growth in transition businesses remain on track, with Bunge acquisition and strategic capital allocation supporting future cash flow and returns.
-
Two scenarios—Current Trajectory and Net Zero—frame possible energy futures, with both showing a shift from energy addition to substitution, rapid growth in renewables, and declining oil demand. Delaying action risks disorderly, costly transitions, while global decarbonization, energy efficiency, and applying existing technologies are key to accelerating progress.
