Highlights(a)
4Q24 loss $2.0 billion; underlying replacement cost (RC) profit* $1.2 billion
•	Loss for the quarter attributable to bp shareholders was $2.0 billion, compared with a profit of $0.2 billion for the third quarter 2024 and a profit of $0.4 billion for the fourth quarter 2023. The result for the fourth quarter 2024 is adjusted for inventory holding losses* of $21 million (pre-tax) and a net adverse impact of adjusting items* of $3.4 billion (pre-tax) to derive the underlying RC profit. Adjusting items pre-tax include net impairments of $1.5 billion (see Note 4) and adverse fair value accounting effects* of $1.0 billion. See page 29 for more information on adjusting items.
•	Underlying RC profit for the quarter was $1.2 billion, compared with $2.3 billion for the previous quarter and $3.0 billion for the fourth quarter 2023. Compared with the third quarter 2024, the underlying result reflects weaker realized refining margins, higher impact from turnaround activity, seasonally lower customer volumes and fuels margins and higher other businesses & corporate underlying charge.
Segment results
•	Gas & low carbon energy: The RC profit before interest and tax for the fourth quarter 2024 was $1.8 billion, compared with $1.0 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 fourth quarter was $2.0 billion, compared with $1.8 billion in the third quarter 2024. The fourth quarter underlying result before interest and tax is largely driven by higher realizations. The gas marketing and trading result was average.
•	Oil production & operations: The RC profit before interest and tax for the fourth quarter 2024 was $2.6 billion, compared with $1.9 billion for the previous quarter. After adjusting RC profit before interest and tax for a net adverse impact of adjusting items of $0.4 billion, the underlying RC profit before interest and tax for the fourth quarter was $2.9 billion, compared with $2.8 billion in the third quarter 2024. The fourth quarter underlying result before interest and tax reflects lower exploration write-offs, partly offset by lower realizations and volumes.
•	Customers & products: The RC loss before interest and tax for the fourth quarter 2024 was $2.4 billion, compared with a profit of $23 million for the previous quarter. After adjusting RC loss before interest and tax for a net adverse impact of adjusting items of $2.1 billion, the underlying RC loss or profit before interest and tax (underlying result) for the fourth quarter was a loss of $0.3 billion, compared with a profit of $0.4 billion in the third quarter 2024. The customers fourth quarter underlying result was lower by $0.4 billion, reflecting lower fuels margins, seasonally lower volumes and adverse foreign exchange impacts. The products fourth quarter underlying result was lower by $0.3 billion, mainly reflecting weaker realized refining margins and a higher impact from turnaround activity. The oil trading contribution was weak.
Operating cash flow* $7.4 billion, finance debt $59.5 billion and net debt* $23.0 billion
•	Operating cash flow of $7.4 billion was around $0.7 billion higher than the previous quarter, reflecting lower cash taxes paid and timing of provision settlements, partly offset by lower underlying earnings. Operating cash flow in the fourth quarter 2023 was $9.4 billion. Finance debt at the end of the fourth quarter 2024 was $59.5 billion, compared with $52.0 billion for the end of the fourth quarter 2023. Net debt reduced to $23.0 billion compared to the third quarter, primarily driven by the impact of proceeds from divestments of around $2.8 billion, the issuance of perpetual hybrid bonds of $2.6 billion and acquired net debt of around $3.0 billion from the completion of the bp Bunge Bioenergia and Lightsource bp transactions. Net debt at the end of the fourth quarter 2023 was $20.9 billion.
Financial frame
•	A resilient dividend is bp’s first priority within its disciplined financial frame, underpinned by a cash balance point* of around $40 per barrel Brent, $11 per barrel RMM and $3 per mmBtu Henry Hub (all 2021 real). For the fourth quarter, bp has announced a dividend per ordinary share of 8 cents.
•	bp is committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and strong investment grade credit rating. Through the cycle, we are targeting to further improve our credit metrics within an 'A' grade credit range.
•	bp continues to invest with discipline and a returns focused approach in our transition growth* engines and in our oil, gas and refining businesses.
•	The $1.75 billion share buyback programme announced with the third quarter results was completed on 7 February 2025. Related to the fourth quarter results, bp intends to execute a $1.75 billion share buyback prior to reporting the first quarter results. As part of our capital markets update scheduled for 26 February we intend to review elements of our financial guidance, including our expectations for 2025 share buybacks and capital expenditure*.
•	In setting the dividend per ordinary share and buyback each quarter, the board will continue to take into account factors including the cumulative level of and outlook for surplus cash flow*, the cash balance point and maintaining a strong investment grade credit rating.

(a)This report discusses certain material changes in bp’s results of operations with respect to the quarter ended 31 December 2024 as compared to the quarter ended 30 September 2024. Financial information for the quarter ended 30 September 2024 can be in found in our Current Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on 29 October 2024.

Financial results

In addition to the highlights on page 4:

•Profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders in the fourth quarter and full year was a loss of $2.0 billion and a profit of $0.4 billion respectively, compared with a profit of $0.4 billion and $15.2 billion in the same periods of 2023.

•After adjusting profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders for inventory holding losses or gains* and net impact of adjusting items*, underlying replacement cost (RC) profit* for the fourth quarter and full year was $1.2 billion and $8.9 billion respectively, compared with $3.0 billion and $13.8 billionfor the same periods of 2023. The underlying RC profit for the fourth quarter mainly reflects lower refining margins and lower realizations, partly offset by lower taxation. For the full year, the reduction mainly reflects lower refining margins, lower realizations, a lower gas marketing and trading result and a lower oil trading contribution, partly offset by lower taxation.

•Adjusting items in the fourth quarter and full year had a net adverse pre-tax impact of $3.4 billion and $9.3 billion respectively, compared with a net adverse pre-tax impact of $2.6 billion and a net favourable pre-tax impact of $1.1 billion in the same periods of 2023.

•Adjusting items for the fourth quarter and full year include an adverse pre-tax impact of fair value accounting effects*, relative to management's internal measure of performance, of $1.0 billion and $1.9 billion respectively, compared with a favourable pre-tax impact of $2.6 billion and $9.4 billion in the same periods of 2023. This is primarily due to an increase in the forward price of LNG over the 2024 periods, compared to a decline in the comparative periods of 2023 and the adverse impact of the fair value accounting effects relating to the hybrid bonds in 2024 compared to the favourable impact in 2023.

•Adjusting items for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024 include an adverse pre-tax impact of asset impairments of $1.5 billionand $5.1 billion respectively, compared with an adverse pre-tax impact of $3.9 billion and $5.7 billionin the same periods of 2023. Fourth quarter and full year 2024 includes $0.4 billion of impairment charges recognized through equity-accounted earnings primarily relating to our interest in Pan American Energy Group. Fourth quarter and full year 2023 included $0.6 billion and $1.1 billion impairment charges respectively recognized through equity-accounted earnings relating to US offshore wind projects.

•In addition, the fourth quarter and full year include a $1.0-billion gain arising on the acquisition of Lightsource bp as a result of remeasurement of our interest and assets and a loss on disposal of $1.1 billion relating to the sale of our Türkiye ground fuels business including recycling of cumulative foreign exchange losses from reserves of $0.9 billion.

•The effective tax rate (ETR) on the profit or loss before taxation for the fourth quarter and full year was -222% and 82% respectively, compared with 60% and 33% for the same periods in 2023. The ETR on RC profit or loss* for the fourth quarter and full year was -235% and 78% respectively, compared with 39% and 33% for the same periods in 2023. Excluding adjusting items, the underlying ETR* for the fourth quarter and full year was 49% and 41%, compared with 42% and 39% for the same periods a year ago. The higher underlying ETR for the fourth quarter and for the full year reflects changes in the geographical mix of profits. ETR on RC profit or loss and underlying ETR are non-IFRS measures.

•Operating cash flow* for the fourth quarter and full year was $7.4 billion and $27.3 billion respectively, compared with $9.4 billion and $32.0 billion for the same periods in 2023.

•Capital expenditure* in the fourth quarter and full year was $3.7 billion and $16.2 billion respectively, compared with $4.7 billion and $16.3 billion in the same periods of 2023. Full year 2024 include a $0.7-billion initial payment in respect of German offshore wind. Full year 2023 includes $1.1 billion in respect of the TravelCenters of America acquisition.

•Total divestment and other proceeds for the fourth quarter and full year were $2.8 billion and $4.2 billion respectively, compared with $0.3 billion and $1.8 billionfor the same periods in 2023. Other proceeds for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 were $0.8 billion and $1.3 billion respectively, relating to $0.8 billion of proceeds from the sale of our 20% share in Trans Adriatic Pipeline AG (TAP) in the fourth quarter and $0.5 billion of proceeds from the sale of a 49% interest in a controlled affiliate holding certain midstream assets offshore US in the second quarter. Other proceeds for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023 were $0.5 billion of proceeds from the sale of a 49% interest in a similar controlled affiliate holding certain midstream assets onshore US.

•Finance debt at the end of the fourth quarter was $59.5 billion, compared with $52.0 billion at the end of the fourth quarter 2023. At the end of the fourth quarter, net debt* was $23.0 billion, compared with $20.9 billion at the end of the fourth quarter 2023.

Outlook & Guidance

1Q 2025 guidance

•Looking ahead, bp expects first quarter 2025 reported upstream* production to be lower compared with the fourth-quarter 2024 primarily due to the already announced divestments in Egypt and Trinidad, which completed towards the end of the fourth quarter and base decline in both regions, totaling around 90 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day.

•In its customers business, bp expects seasonally lower volumes compared to the fourth quarter. In addition, bp expects fuels margins to remain sensitive to movements in cost of supply and earnings delivery to remain sensitive to the relative strength of the US dollar.

•In products, bp expects realized refining margins to remain low in the first quarter. bp also expects a lower level of refinery turnaround activity compared to the fourth quarter 2024.

2025 guidance

In addition to the guidance on page 4:

•bp expects reported upstream* production to be lower and underlying upstream production* to be slightly lower compared with 2024. Within this, bp expects underlying production from oil production & operations to be broadly flat and production from gas & low carbon energy to be lower.

•In its customers business, bp expects growth in its customers businesses including a full year contribution from bp bioenergy and a higher contribution from TravelCenters of America in part supported by a partial recovery from the US freight recession. Earnings growth is expected to be supported by structural cost reduction. bp continues to expect fuels margins to remain sensitive to the cost of supply and earnings delivery to remain sensitive to the relative strength of the US dollar.

•In products, bp expects broadly flat refining margins relative to 2024 and stronger underlying performance underpinned by the absence of the plant-wide power outage at Whiting refinery, and improvement plans across the portfolio. bp expects similar levels of refinery turnaround activity, with phasing of turnaround activity in 2025 heavily weighted towards the first half, with the highest impact in the second quarter.

•bp expects other businesses & corporate underlying annual charge to be around $1.0 billion for 2025. The charge may vary from quarter to quarter.

•bp expects the depreciation, depletion and amortization to be broadly flat compared with 2024.

•bp expects the underlying ETR* for 2025 to be around 40% but 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 expects divestment and other proceeds to be around $3 billion in 2025 weighted towards the second half. Having realized $22.0 billion of divestment and other proceeds since the second quarter of 2020, bp continues to expect to reach $25 billion of divestment and other proceeds between the second half of 2020 and 2025.

•bp expects Gulf of America settlement payments for the year to be around $1.2 billion pre-tax including $1.1 billion pre-tax to be paid during the second quarter.

Financial results

•The replacement cost (RC) profit before interest and tax for the fourth quarter and full year was $1,841 million and $3,569 million respectively, compared with $2,169 million and $14,080 million for the same periods in 2023. The fourth quarter and full year are adjusted by an adverse impact of net adjusting items* of $146 million and $3,234 million respectively, compared with a favourable impact of net adjusting items of $392 million and $5,358 million for the same periods in 2023. Adjusting items include impacts of fair value accounting effects*, relative to management's internal measure of performance, which are an adverse impact of $377 million and $1,550 million for the fourth quarter and full year in 2024 and a favourable impact of $1,887 million and $8,859 million for the same periods in 2023. Under IFRS, reported earnings include the mark-to-market value of the hedges used to risk-manage LNG contracts, but not of the LNG contracts themselves. The underlying result includes the mark-to-market value of the hedges but also recognizes changes in value of the LNG contracts being risk managed. See page 29 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 fourth quarter and full year was $1,987 million and $6,803 million respectively, compared with $1,777 million and $8,722 million for the same periods in 2023.

•The underlying RC profit before interest and tax for the fourth quarter compared with the same period in 2023, reflects lower exploration write-offs, higher realizations and a lower depreciation, depletion and amortization charge. The gas marketing and trading result for the quarter was average compared with a strong result in the fourth quarter of 2023.

•The underlying RC profit before interest and tax for the full year, compared with the same period in 2023, reflects a lower gas marketing and trading result, lower realizations, lower production and the foreign exchange loss in the first quarter, partly offset by a lower depreciation, depletion and amortization charge and lower exploration write-offs.

Operational update

•Reported production for the quarter was 850mboe/d, 5.4% lower than the same period in 2023. Underlying production* was 2.7% lower, mainly due to base decline in Egypt, partially offset by improved base performance in other regions and major projects*.

•Reported production for the full year was 888mboe/d, 4.4% lower than the same period in 2023. Underlying production was 2.8% lower, mainly due to base decline in Egypt partially offset by major projects*.

•Renewables pipeline* at the end of the quarter was 60.6GW (bp net), including 38.7GW of Lightsource bp's (LSbp's) pipeline. The renewables pipeline showed a net increase of 2.3GW during the full year as a result of the LSbp acquisition (20.5GW), offset by reductions as a result of high-grading and focus of proposed hydrogen projects and the US solar business.

Financial results

•The replacement cost (RC) loss before interest and tax for the fourth quarter and full yearwas $2,438 million and $1,560 million respectively, compared with a loss of $554 million and a profit of $4,230 millionfor the same periods in 2023. The fourth quarter and full year are adjusted by an adverse impact of net adjusting items* of $2,136 million and $4,077 million respectively, mainly related to loss on disposal of the Türkiye grounds fuels business in the fourth quarter and impairment of the Gelsenkirchen refinery and associated onerous contract provisions during 2024, compared with an adverse impact of net adjusting items of $1,357 million and $2,183 million for the same periods in 2023. See page 29 for more information on adjusting items.

•After adjusting RC loss before interest and tax for adjusting items, the underlying RC loss or profit before interest and tax* (underlying result) for the fourth quarter and full year was a loss of $302 million and a profit of $2,517 million respectively, compared with a profit of $803 million and $6,413 million for the same periods in 2023.

•The customers & products underlying result for the fourth quarter and full year was significantly lower than the same periods in 2023. The underlying result in the fourth quarter primarily reflected lower refining margins and a lower customers result. The underlying result for the full year primarily reflected lower refining margins and a lower oil trading contribution.

•customers – the customers underlying result for the fourth quarter and full year was lower compared with the same periods in 2023. The fourth quarter was impacted by weaker retail fuels margins and the absence of one-off positive effects that benefited the same period last year. The contribution of TravelCenters of America continues to be impacted by the US freight recession. The full year result benefited from a continued stronger performance in Castrol, resulting in higher unit margins and volumes and lower costs. In addition, the continued momentum in EV charging, convenience and retail fuels margins was more than offset by a significantly weaker European midstream performance driven by biofuels margins.

•products – the products underlying result for the fourth quarter and full year was significantly lower compared with the same periods in 2023. In refining, the underlying result for the fourth quarter was mainly impacted by lower realized refining margins, including the impact of narrower North American heavy crude oil differentials, partly offset by lower turnaround activity. The oil trading contribution for the fourth quarter was weak. The underlying result for the full year was lower, primarily due to lower realized refining margins and the first quarter plant-wide power outage at the Whiting refinery, partly offset by a lower impact from turnaround activity. The underlying oil trading result for the full year was significantly lower than the same period last year.

Operational update

•bp-operated refining availability* for the fourth quarter and full year was 94.8% and 94.3%, compared with 96.1% and 96.1% for the same periods in 2023, with the full year lower mainly due to the first quarter Whiting refinery power outage.

Strategic progress

•On 31 October bp completed the sale of its Türkiye ground fuels business to Petrol Ofisi, including the group's interest in three joint venture terminals in Türkiye. In addition, in November, bp announced its intention to sell its mobility and convenience and bp pulse businesses in Netherlands, with a planned completion of the sale by the end of 2025.

•Energy sold and EV charge points* installed in the year grew by around 75% and 35% respectively, compared to 2023, with charge points now around 39,100. In addition, in the fourth quarter, bp pulse continued to progress the roll out of new ultra-fast(a) charging hubs in the UK and Germany, alongside continued upgrading of the existing network.

•As part of our continuing drive to focus activity in biofuels, bp took the decision in January 2025 to rephase and recycle its biofuels project in Kwinana with the objective of improving capital productivity. In addition, during the fourth quarter bp continued to progress its strategic plans to access feedstock for biofuels, announcing a 10-year agreement with agri-food group MIGASA for the supply of up to 40,000 tonnes per year of vegetable oil waste, and announcing a collaboration with Corteva, with the intent of forming a JV, on novel feedstocks.

•On 1 December bp completed the sale of its 50% ownership in the SAPREF refinery to the South African state-owned entity, Central Energy Fund SOC Ltd.

•On 3 February 2025 bp completed the acquisition of fuel and convenience retailer, X Convenience, expanding its network with the addition of 49 sites in South and Western Australia.

•On 6 February 2025 bp announced its intention to market its Ruhr Oel GmbH – BP Gelsenkirchen operation in Germany for potential sale, including its refinery in Gelsenkirchen and DHC Solvent Chemie GmbH in Mülheim an der Ruhr.

•During the fourth quarter bp’s Archaea Energy started up two renewable natural gas (RNG) landfill plants, bringing the total to 9 RNG landfill plants started-up year to date with a total capacity of more than 10 million mmBtu per annum, and has a further six plants in commissioning during the first quarter of 2025.

(a)During the first quarter 2024 BP Capital Markets PLC issued $1.3 billion of US dollar perpetual subordinated hybrid bonds with a coupon fixed for an initial period up to 2034 of 6.45% and voluntarily bought back $1.3 billion of the non-call 2025 4.375% US dollar hybrid bond issued in 2020. Taken together these transactions had no significant impact on net debt or gearing.

(b)During the fourth quarter 2024 BP Capital Markets PLC issued perpetual subordinated hybrid bonds in euro, sterling and US dollars for a US dollar equivalent amount of $2.6 billion. Coupons are fixed for an initial period up to dates from 2030 to 2035 at rates of 4.375% to 6.125%. In addition another group subsidiary issued perpetual subordinated hybrid securities of $0.5 billion, the proceeds of which were specifically earmarked to fund BP Alternative Energy Investments Ltd including the funding of Lightsource bp. These transactions resulted in a reduction of net debt and gearing.

Notes

Note 1. Basis of preparation

The results for the interim periods 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 2023 included in bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2023.

bp prepares its consolidated financial statements included within bp Annual Report and Form 20-F on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), IFRS as adopted by the UK, and 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 2024 which are the same as those used in preparing bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2023. In October 2024, the UK government announced changes (effective from 1 November 2024) to the Energy Profits Levy including a 3% increase in the rate taking the headline rate of tax on North Sea profits to 78%, an extension to the period of application of the Levy to 31 March 2030 and the removal of the Levy’s main investment allowance. The changes to the rate and to the investment allowance were substantively enacted in the fourth quarter and have been applied in accounting for current tax and deferred tax in the quarter, resulting in an additional non-cash deferred tax charge of approximately $0.1 billion. The extension of the Levy to 31 March 2030 is expected to be substantively enacted during 2025 and will result in a deferred tax charge in the group consolidated financial statements in the quarter that it is substantively enacted.

There are no new or amended standards or interpretations adopted from 1 January 2024 onwards that have a significant impact on the financial information.

Significant accounting judgements and estimates

bp's significant accounting judgements and estimates were disclosed in bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2023. These have been subsequently considered at the end of this quarter to determine if any changes were required to those judgements and estimates.

Impairment testing assumptions

The group’s value-in-use impairment testing price assumptions for Brent oil and Henry Hub gas were revised during the fourth quarter from those disclosed in the bp Annual Report and Form 20-F 2023. The revised price assumptions have been rebased in real 2023 terms and are materially consistent with the disclosed prices in real 2022 terms. A summary of the group’s price assumptions for value-in-use impairment testing, in real 2023 terms, is provided below:

	2025	2030	2040	2050
Brent oil ($/bbl)	70	70	63	50
Henry Hub gas ($/mmBtu)	4.00	4.00	4.00	4.00

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 2023: 8%).

Provisions

The nominal risk-free discount rate applied to provisions is reviewed on a quarterly basis. The discount rate applied to the group's provisions remains at 4.5% following the increase applied in the second quarter (31 December 2023 4.0%).

Note 2. Business combinations

The group undertook several business combinations during the fourth quarter of 2024, principally the step acquisitions of bp Bunge Bioenergia and Lightsource bp. Total consideration for these two acquisitions was $1,328 million and the amount paid in cash in the fourth quarter amounted to $106 million, offset by cash acquired of $589 million. The provisional fair value of the net assets (including goodwill) recognized from these business combinations, for the fourth quarter 2024 was $2,848 million.

The gain recognized in ‘Interest and other income’ in the fourth quarter 2024 as a result of remeasuring the previously held interests in bp Bunge Bioenergia and Lightsource bp, to fair value, was $427 million.

Immediately prior to the Lightsource bp business combination, certain assets in the US were transferred from Lightsource bp into a new joint venture which remains jointly controlled by bp and certain founder shareholders of Lightsource bp, and is accordingly equity accounted for bp. The investment in the new joint venture was measured at bp's share of the joint venture's net assets and, as a result, income of $498 million has been recognized in ‘Interest and other income’ in the fourth quarter 2024.

Note 3. Non-current assets held for sale

The carrying amount of assets classified as held for sale at 31 December 2024 is $4,081 million, with associated liabilities of $1,105 million.

On 16 September 2024, bp announced that it plans to sell its US onshore wind energy business, bp Wind Energy. bp Wind Energy has interests in ten operating onshore wind energy assets across seven US states. As a result of progression of the disposal process during the fourth quarter of 2024, completion of a disposal in 2025 is now considered to be highly probable. The carrying amount of assets classified as held for sale at 31 December 2024 is $569 million, with associated liabilities of $41 million.

On 24 October, bp completed the acquisition of the remaining 50.03% of Lightsource bp. The acquisition included certain assets for which sales processes were in progress at the acquisition date. Completion of the sale of these assets within one year of the acquisition date is considered to be highly probable. The carrying amount of assets classified as held for sale at 31 December 2024 is $1,702 million, with associated liabilities of $1,050 million.

On 9 December 2024, bp and JERA Co., Inc. agreed to combine their offshore wind businesses to form a new standalone, equally-owned joint venture – JERA Nex bp. The parties have agreed to work to complete formation of JERA Nex bp, subject to regulatory and other approvals, by end of the third quarter of 2025. bp will contribute its development projects in the UK, Japan, Germany and US into the new joint venture. The related assets and liabilities of those projects have, therefore, been classified as held for sale. The carrying amount of assets classified as held for sale at 31 December 2024 is $1,793 million, with associated liabilities of $14 million.

Transactions that were classified as held for sale during 2024, but completed during the fourth quarter, are described below.

On 14 February 2024, bp and ADNOC announced that they had agreed to form a new joint venture (JV) in Egypt. On 16 December bp and XRG (ADNOC’s international energy investment company) announced they had completed formation of Arcius Energy (51% bp, 49% XRG, ADNOC's international energy investment company). As part of the agreement, bp contributed its interests in three development concessions, as well as exploration agreements, in Egypt to the new JV. XRG made a proportionate cash contribution.

On 4 October 2024, bp completed the sale of receivables relating to a prior divestment receiving proceeds of $890 million.

On 16 November 2023, bp entered into an agreement to sell its Türkiye ground fuels business to Petrol Ofisi. This included the group's interest in three joint venture terminals in Türkiye. The sale completed on 31 October 2024 and resulted in a loss on disposal of $1,132 million including recycling of cumulative foreign exchange losses from reserves of $942 million.

Note 4. Impairment and losses on sale of businesses and fixed assets

Net impairment charges and losses on sale of businesses and fixed assets for the fourth quarter and full year were $3,107 million and $6,995 million respectively, compared with net charges of $3,958 million and $5,857 million for the same periods in 2023 and include net impairment charges for the fourth quarter and full year of $1,514 million and $5,189 million respectively, compared with net impairment charges of $3,922 million and $5,701 millionfor the same periods in 2023. 

Gas & low carbon energy

Fourth quarter and full year 2024 impairments includes a net impairment charge of $890 million and $2,749 million respectively, compared with net charges of $928 million and $2,212 million for the same periods in 2023 in the gas & low carbon energy segment. 2024 includes amounts in Mauritania & Senegal, which principally arose as a result of increased forecast future expenditure, and a number of other individually immaterial impairments across the Gas and low carbon energy segment principally as a result of portfolio management. The recoverable amounts of these cash generating units were based on value-in-use or fair value less costs of disposal calculations, as appropriate.

Oil production & operations

Fourth quarter and full year 2024 impairments includes a net impairment reversal of $129 million and net impairment charge of $771 million respectively, compared with net charges of $1,636 million and $1,814 million for the same periods in 2023 in the oil production & operations segment. 2024 includes amounts in the North Sea. The recoverable amounts of the cash generating units within this business were based on value-in-use calculations.

Customers & products

Fourth quarter and full year 2024 impairments includes a net impairment charge of $746 million and $1,660 million respectively, compared with net charges of $1,367 million and $1,614 million for the same periods in 2023 in the customers & products segment. 2024 includes amounts in Germany relating to the ongoing review of the Gelsenkirchen refinery. The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit within this business was based on a value-in-use calculation.

Note 8. 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. Against the authority granted at bp's 2024 annual general meeting, 318 million ordinary shares repurchased for cancellation were settled during the fourth quarter 2024 for a total cost of $1,625 million. A further 176 million ordinary shares were repurchased between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue for a total cost of $922 million. This amount has been accrued at 31 December 2024. The number of shares in issue is reduced when shares are repurchased, but is not reduced in respect of the period-end commitment to repurchase shares subsequent to the end of 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.

(a)See Condensed group statement of changes in equity - footnote (a) for further information.

(b)If the inclusion of potentially issuable shares would decrease loss per share, the potentially issuable shares are excluded from the weighted average number of shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share. The numbers of potentially issuable shares that have been excluded from the calculation for the fourth quarter 2024 are 367,276 thousand (ADS equivalent 61,213 thousand).

(c)Excludes treasury shares and includes certain shares that will be issued in the future under employee share-based payment plans.

(d)One ADS is equivalent to six ordinary shares.

Issued ordinary share capital as at 31 December 2024 comprised 16,180,991,411 ordinary shares (31 December 2023 17,174,461,587 ordinary shares). This includes shares held in trust to settle future employee share plan obligations and excludes 481,473,840 ordinary shares which have been bought back and are held in treasury by bp (31 December 2023 726,338,898 ordinary shares).

Note 9. Dividends

Dividends payable

bp today announced an interim dividend of 8.000 cents per ordinary share which is expected to be paid on 28 March 2025 to ordinary shareholders and American Depositary Share (ADS) holders on the register on 21 February 2025. The ex-dividend date will be 20 February 2025 for ordinary shareholders and 21 February 2025 for ADS holders. The corresponding amount in sterling is due to be announced on 17 March 2025, calculated based on the average of the market exchange rates over three dealing days between 11 March 2025 and 13 March 2025. Holders of ADSs are expected to receive $0.48 per ADS (less applicable fees). The board has decided not to offer a scrip dividend alternative in respect of the fourth quarter 2024 dividend. Ordinary shareholders and ADS holders (subject to certain exceptions) will be able to participate in a dividend reinvestment programme. Details of the fourth quarter dividend and timetable are available at bp.com/dividends and further details of the dividend reinvestment programmes are available at bp.com/drip.

(a)See Note 4 for further information.

(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.

(c)For further information, including the nature of fair value accounting effects reported in each segment, see pages 5, 8 and 36.

(d)Fourth quarter and full year 2024 include a $508 million gain relating to the remeasurement of bp's pre-existing 49.97% interest in Lightsource bp and $498 million relating to the remeasurement of certain US assets excluded from the Lightsource bp acquisition (see Note 2 for further information). Fourth quarter and full year 2023 include $600 million and $1,140 million respectively of impairment charges recognized through equity-accounted earnings relating to our US offshore wind projects.

(e)Fourth quarter and full year 2024 includes $429 million of impairment charges recognized through equity-accounted earnings relating to our interest in Pan American Energy Group.

(f)See Note 3 for further information.

(g)All periods in 2024 include recognition of onerous contract provisions related to the Gelsenkirchen refinery. The unwind of these provisions will be reported as an adjusting item as the contractual obligations are settled.

(h)Fourth quarter and full year 2023 include charges related to the control, abatement, clean-up or elimination of environmental pollution and legal settlements.

(i)Includes the unwinding of discounting effects relating to Gulf of America oil spill payables and the income statement impact of temporary valuation differences related to the group’s interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk management associated with finance debt. Full year 2023 also includes the income statement impact associated with the buyback of finance debt. Fourth quarter and full year 2024 also include the unwinding of discounting effects relating to certain onerous contract provisions.

(j)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.

29

(k)Fourth quarter and full year 2024 and full year 2023 include revisions to the deferred tax impact of the introduction of the UK Energy Profits Levy (EPL) on temporary differences existing at 31 December 2022 that are expected to unwind before 31 March 2028. The EPL increases the headline rate of tax to 78% (75% until 31 October 2024) and applies to taxable profits from bp’s North Sea business made from 1 January 2023 until 31 March 2028. In October 2024 the UK government announced changes to the EPL including a 3% increase in the rate from 1 November 2024, the removal of the Levy’s main investment allowance and an extension to 31 March 2030. The changes to the rate and to the investment allowance were substantively enacted in the fourth quarter. The extension to 31 March 2030 has not yet been substantively enacted and has therefore not been accounted for at 31 December 2024, the impact will be reflected in the financial statements when the change is substantively enacted.

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 EBIDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as profit or loss for the period, adjusting for finance costs and net finance (income) or expense relating to pensions and other post-employment benefits and taxation, inventory holding gains or losses before tax, net adjusting items before interest and tax, and taxation on an underlying RC basis, and adding back depreciation, depletion and amortization (pre-tax) and exploration expenditure written-off (net of adjusting items, pre-tax). bp believes that adjusted EBIDA 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. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is profit or loss for the period. A reconciliation of profit or loss for the period to adjusted EBIDA is provided on page 31.

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, excluding 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 32 for the segments.

Adjusted EBITDA for the group is defined as profit or loss for the period, adjusting for finance costs and net finance (income) or expense relating to pensions and other post-employment benefits and taxation, inventory holding gains or losses before tax, net adjusting items before interest and tax, and adding back depreciation, depletion and amortization (pre-tax) and exploration expenditure written-off (net of adjusting items, pre-tax). The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis for the group is profit or loss for the period. A reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 30 for the group.

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 29.

Blue hydrogen – Hydrogen made from natural gas in combination with carbon capture and storage (CCS).

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.

Cash balance point is defined as the implied Brent oil price 2021 real to balance bp’s sources and uses of cash assuming an average bp refining marker margin around $11/bbl and Henry Hub at $3/mmBtu in 2021 real terms.

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

Developed renewables to final investment decision (FID) – Total generating capacity for assets developed to FID by all entities where bp has an equity share (proportionate to equity share at the time of FID). If asset is subsequently sold bp will continue to record capacity as developed to FID.

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

Effective tax rate (ETR) on replacement cost (RC) profit or loss is a non-IFRS measure. The ETR on RC profit or loss is calculated by dividing taxation on a RC basis by RC profit or loss before tax. Taxation on a 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. Information on RC profit or loss is provided below. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the ETR on RC profit or loss because this measure excludes the impact of price changes on the replacement of inventories and allows for more meaningful comparisons between reporting periods. Taxation on a RC basis and ETR on RC profit or loss are non-IFRS measures. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is the ETR on profit or loss for the period. A reconciliation to IFRS information is provided on page 33.

Electric vehicle charge points / EV charge points are defined as the number of connectors on a charging device, operated by either bp or a bp joint venture as adjusted to be reflective of bp’s accounting share of joint arrangements.

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 contacts 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 and 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.

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, integrated gas and power, and gas trading. Our low carbon business includes solar, offshore and onshore wind, hydrogen and CCS and power trading. Power trading includes trading of both renewable and non-renewable power.

Glossary (continued)

Gearing and net debt 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 27.

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.

Gearing including leases and net debt 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 30.

Green hydrogen – Hydrogen produced by electrolysis of water using renewable power.

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

Hydrogen pipeline – Hydrogen projects which have not been developed to final investment decision (FID) but which have advanced to the concept development stage.

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 28.

Installed renewables capacity is bp's share of capacity for operating assets owned by entities where bp has an equity share.

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.

Low carbon activity – An activity relating to low carbon including: renewable electricity; bioenergy; electric vehicles and other future mobility solutions; trading and marketing low carbon products; blue or green hydrogen* and carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS).

Note that, while there is some overlap of activities, these terms do not mean the same as bp’s strategic focus area of low carbon energy or our low carbon energy sub-segment, reported within the gas & low carbon energy segment.

Glossary (continued)

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.

Operating cash flowis 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 28.

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 availabilityrepresents 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.

The Refining marker margin (RMM) is the average of regional indicator margins weighted for bp’s crude refining capacity in each region. Each regional marker margin is based on product yields and a marker crude oil deemed appropriate for the region. The regional indicator margins may not be representative of the margins achieved by bp in any period because of bp’s particular refinery configurations and crude and product slate.

Renewables pipeline – Renewable projects satisfying the following criteria until the point they can be considered developed to final investment decision (FID): Site based projects that have obtained land exclusivity rights, or for power purchase agreement based projects an offer has been made to the counterparty, or for auction projects pre-qualification criteria has been met, or for acquisition projects post a binding offer being accepted.

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.

Reported recordable injury frequency measures the number of reported work-related employee and contractor incidents that result in a fatality or injury per 200,000 hours worked. This represents 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 incidents are investigated throughout the year and as a result there may be changes in previously reported incidents. 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.

Reserves replacement ratio – the extent to which the year’s production has been replaced by proved reserves added to our reserve base. The ratio is expressed in oil-equivalent terms and includes changes resulting from discoveries, improved recovery and extensions and revisions to previous estimates, but excludes changes resulting from acquisitions and disposals.

Retail sites include sites operated by dealers, jobbers, franchisees or brand licensees or joint venture (JV) partners, under the bp brand. These may move to and from the bp brand as their fuel supply agreement or brand licence agreement expires and are renegotiated in the normal course of business. Retail sites are primarily branded bp, ARCO, Amoco, Aral, Thorntons and TravelCenters of America and also includes sites in India through our Jio-bp JV.

Return on average capital employed (ROACE) is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as underlying replacement cost profit, which is defined as profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders adjusted for inventory holding gains and losses, adjusting items and related taxation on inventory holding gains and losses and adjusting items total taxation, after adding back non-controlling interest and interest expense net of tax, divided by the average of the beginning and ending balances of total equity plus finance debt, excluding cash and cash equivalents and goodwill as presented on the group balance sheet over the periods presented. Interest expense before tax is finance costs as presented on the group income statement, excluding lease interest, the unwinding of the discount on provisions and other payables and other adjusting items reported in finance costs. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the ROACE because this measure gives an indication of the company's capital efficiency. The nearest IFRS measures of the numerator and denominator are profit or loss for the period attributable to bp shareholders and total equity respectively. The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator is provided on page 31.

Solomon availability – See Refining availability definition.

Strategic convenience sites are retail sites, within the bp portfolio, which sell bp-supplied vehicle energy (e.g. bp, Aral, Arco, Amoco, Thorntons, bp pulse, TA and PETRO) and either carry one of the strategic convenience brands (e.g. M&S, Rewe to Go) or a differentiated bp-controlled convenience offer. To be considered a strategic convenience site, the convenience offer should have a demonstrable level of differentiation in the market in which it operates. Strategic convenience site count includes sites under a pilot phase.

Surplus cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. It is a non-IFRS financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net cash provided by operating activities, reported in accordance with IFRS. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the surplus cash flow because this measure forms part of bp's financial frame.

Surplus cash flow refers to the net surplus of sources of cash over uses of cash, after reaching the $35 billion net debt target. Sources of cash include net cash provided by operating activities, cash provided from investing activities and cash receipts relating to transactions involving non-controlling interests. Uses of cash include lease liability payments, payments on perpetual hybrid bond, dividends paid, cash capital expenditure, the cash cost of share buybacks to offset the dilution from vesting of awards under employee share schemes, cash payments relating to transactions involving non-controlling interests and currency translation differences relating to cash and cash equivalents as presented on the condensed group cash flow statement.

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.

Transition growth – Activities, represented by a set of transition growth engines, that transition bp toward its objective to be an integrated energy company, and that comprise our low carbon activity* alongside other businesses that support transition, such as our power trading and marketing business and convenience.

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 33.

Underlying production – 2024 underlying production, when compared with 2023, 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 38) after excluding net adjusting items and related taxation. See page 29 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 8-16 for the segments.

Glossary (continued)

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 8. 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 33.

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.
