Fiscal Year 2026
-
A new operating model and accelerated project cycles on the NCS, high-graded international portfolio, and integrated power business underpin a strategy for robust growth in production, cash flow, and shareholder returns to 2030 and beyond. Capital allocation is disciplined, with increased dividends, predictable buybacks, and a focus on high-return investments.
-
Record production and strong financials marked the quarter, with adjusted operating income at $9.8 billion and net income of $3.1 billion. Guidance for 3% production growth and $13 billion CapEx in 2026 remains unchanged, while market volatility and higher prices could boost future cash flow.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Record production and strong financials in 2025 were achieved despite market volatility, with a focus on capital discipline, reduced CapEx, and portfolio optimization. Guidance for 2026–2027 includes 3% production growth, lower CapEx, and continued shareholder returns.
-
Production rose 7% year-over-year, with adjusted operating income at $6.2 billion and net income impacted by impairments. Capital distribution for the year will reach $9 billion, and guidance for production growth and capital discipline is reaffirmed amid volatile markets.
-

Strong Q1 results driven by high gas production and disciplined capital allocation, with $8.6B adjusted operating income and $2.6B net income. Empire Wind faces a major halt, creating significant uncertainty and risk exposure, while capital distribution guidance remains firm.
