2024 Second quarter and first half results

Selling price
During the second quarter 2024, the average Brent crude price amounted $85.0 per barrel ($/bbl), up 2% compared to the first quarter 2024 ($83.2 /bbl). The average selling price of the crude oil grade marketed by TotalEnergies EP Gabon was $81.4 /bbl in the second quarter 2024, light decrease compared to first quarter 2024 (81.9 $/b), due to less favourable market conditions for Mandji quality crude.

In the first half 2024, the average selling price of the crude oil grade marketed by TotalEnergies EP Gabon ($81.6 /bbl) increased by 9% compared to the first half of 2023 ($75.1/bbl), higher than the evolution of Brent over the period.

Production
TotalEnergies EP Gabon crude oil production amounted 17.4 kb/d in second quarter 2024, light up compared to the first quarter 2024 (17.2 kb/d).

In the first half 2024, TotalEnergies EP Gabon crude oil production amounted to 17.3 kb/d, up 8% compared to first half 2023 (16.0 kb/j). This significant production increase is driven by the facilities availability improvement and by the results of well interventions that compensate the natural decline of fields.

Revenues
The 2024 second quarter revenues amounted to $124 million, up 3% compared to first quarter 2024 ($120 million).

In the first half 2024, revenues reached $244 million, up 15% compared to first half 2023 helped by the combined effects of improvement of the average selling price of the crude oil grade marketed by TotalEnergies EP Gabon (+9%) and increase of the production level and volumes of crude oil sold by the Company (+8%).

Cash flow from Operations
Cash flow from operations amounted $90 million in the second quarter 2024, against $95 million in the first quarter 2024. It is impacted negatively by the increase of under lifting position and receivables associated with crude oil delivered for the domestic market obligation at the end of the second quarter.

During the first six months of 2024 year, cash flow from operations reached $185 million, up 53% compared to first half 2023 ($121 million). It is positively impacted by the increase of prices and volumes of crude oil sold (+$24 million), the effort to reduce operating expenditures (+$6 million), higher interests on cash deposits (+$9 million) and improved working capital requirement (+$21 million) between the two compared periods.

Net investments
Net investments amounted to $20 million in the second quarter 2024, slight increase (+$2 million) compared to first quarter 2024.

In the first half 2024, petroleum investments amounted to $38 million, down compared to first half 2023 ($49 million). In 2024, it primarily cover workovers campaign, integrity works on the sites, operations and studies aiming at reducing direct greenhouse gas emission from our activities. In 2023, the higher investments in the first half of the year, also included preparation costs for the five-year shutdown of the Anguille site.

Net Income
The net income of the second quarter 2024 amounted to $28 million, in progression of 12% compared to first quarter 2024 ($25 million).

In the first half of 2024, net income was $53 million, compared to $39 million in the first half of 2023. It is positively impacted by the revenues increase (+$32 million), operating expenditures decrease (+$6 million) and the interests on cash deposits (+$9 million) increase. These positive effects are partially offset by the increases of tax production, amortization and income tax (-$33 million) between the two periods.
