* Alternative Performance (Non-GAAP) measure. See page 37.

Quarter Analysis1

Income attributable to Shell plc shareholders was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes the impact of identified items and a current cost of supplies adjustment of $0.4 billion.

Adjusted Earnings, compared with the second quarter 2026, reflected higher Refining margins, higher realised LNG prices and higher Integrated Gas volumes. These were partly offset by lower crude and oil products trading and optimisation, higher well write-offs and lower realised liquids prices.

Identified items in the third quarter 2026 amounted to a net gain of $0.8 billion and included favourable movements due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives and gains on the disposal of assets, partly offset by a loss from net impairment charges and reversals. This compares with identified items in the second quarter 2026 which amounted to a net gain of $0.4 billion.

Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter 2026 was $21.0 billion, and primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA and net cash inflows related to derivatives of $3.4 billion, partly offset by tax payments of $3.2 billion and net cash outflows related to the timing impact of payments for emission certificates and biofuel programmes of $2.2 billion.2

Cash flow from investing activities for the third quarter 2026 was an outflow of $4.7 billion, and included cash capital expenditure of $7.9 billion, which included the cash purchase consideration for the ARC Resources Ltd. (“ARC”) acquisition.3 This was partly offset by divestment proceeds of $2.7 billion which mainly related to the divestments of Jiffy Lube International and our interest in the Na Kika platform in the Gulf of America.

Net debt and Gearing: At the end of the third quarter 2026, net debt was $39.7 billion, compared with $41.8 billion at the end of the second quarter 2026. This reflects free cash flow of $16.3 billion, partly offset by lease additions of $6.6 billion4, share buybacks of $3.2 billion and cash dividends paid to Shell plc shareholders of $2.2 billion. In addition, as part of the acquisition of ARC, Shell took on net debt and leases of $2.5 billion, of which debt of $1.9 billion was repaid in

September 2026. Gearing was 16.6% at the end of the third quarter 2026, compared with 18.7% at the end of the second quarter 2026, mainly driven by lower net debt and favourable equity movements. The acquisition of ARC resulted in a 0.8 percentage point reduction in gearing.

Shareholder distributions: Total shareholder distributions in the quarter amounted to $5.3 billion, comprising repurchases of shares of $3.2 billion and cash dividends paid to Shell plc shareholders of $2.2 billion. Dividends declared to Shell plc shareholders for the third quarter 2026 amount to $0.3906 per share. Shell has now completed the aggregate $4.2 billion of share buybacks announced in the second quarter 2026 results announcement. Today, Shell announces a share buyback programme of $5.0 billion which is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter 2026 results announcement.

Nine Months Analysis1

Income attributable to Shell plc shareholders was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes the impact of identified items and a current cost of supplies adjustment of $2.2 billion.

Adjusted Earnings, compared with the first nine months 2025, reflected higher trading and optimisation, higher realised prices, higher Refining margins and higher Chemicals margins. These were partly offset by lower volumes, unfavourable tax movements and unfavourable net interest movements.

Identified items in the first nine months 2026 amounted to a net loss of $1.2 billion and included a loss from net impairment charges and reversals and unfavourable movements due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives, partly offset by gains on the disposal of assets. This compares with identified items in the first nine months 2025 which amounted to a net loss of $1.2 billion.

Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings.

Cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months 2026 was $48.5 billion, and primarily driven by Adjusted EBITDA, the non-cash cost of supplies adjustment of $3.2 billion (before tax) and net cash inflows related to derivatives of $2.6 billion, partly offset by tax payments of $8.5 billion and working capital outflows of $8.4 billion.

Cash flow from investing activities for the first nine months 2026 was an outflow of $11.8 billion and included cash capital expenditure of $16.4 billion. This was partly offset by divestment proceeds of $3.5 billion and interest received of $1.1 billion.

PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENTS

Integrated Gas

In July 2026, we reached an agreement to sell our 35% non-operated interest in Cyprus Offshore Block 12 containing the Aphrodite gas field, for up to $720 million, subject to customary adjustments and milestone-linked contingent payments. The transaction is expected to complete in early 2027, subject to regulatory approval and closing conditions.

In September 2026, we completed the previously announced agreement to acquire ARC Resources Ltd. (“ARC”), following receipt of all required shareholder, court and regulatory approvals. The transaction adds approximately 370 kboe/d immediately across liquids and gas. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, ARC’s shareholders received CAD 8.20 in cash and 0.40247 ordinary shares of Shell plc for each ARC share, resulting in an equity value of USD 14.0 billion.1

In September 2026, Shell took a final investment decision on LNG Canada Phase 2. The project will increase LNG Canada’s production capacity from 14 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 28 mtpa. Shell has a 40% interest in LNG Canada and will receive nearly 6 mtpa of additional LNG from the expansion. Commercial operations are expected to begin in the early 2030s.

Upstream

In September 2026, we completed the previously announced sale of our 50% non-operated working interest in the Na Kika platform and associated fields in the Gulf of America, together with our 100%-owned Coulomb tieback, for cash proceeds of approximately $840 million reflecting adjustments between the effective date of July 1, 2025, and closing.

Marketing

In September 2026, we signed an agreement to increase our equity in Tri Star Energy, a convenience store operator and fuel distributor operating across the south-eastern United States, from 33% to 100%. The acquisition will make Shell the full owner of an additional 320 fuel and convenience retail sites and includes supply agreements with 552 more dealer-owned locations. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, subject to regulatory clearance and closing conditions.

Renewables and Energy Solutions

In July 2026, we agreed to sell 100% of Solenergi Power Private Limited, which includes the Sprng Energy group of companies, to Aditya Birla Renewables Limited for $1.8 billion. The transaction is expected to complete by the end of 2026, subject to regulatory approval and closing conditions.

In August 2026, we signed an agreement to sell our European onshore renewables portfolio, including development-stage and operational assets across Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK. The portfolio included in the transaction comprises ~0.5 GW of combined renewable generation capacity in operation and in development, as well as a pipeline of projects for future development. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to complete by the end of 2026.

In September 2026, we signed agreements to acquire 100% of Hunlock Creek Generating LLC, which owns 169 MW of natural gas-fired generation capacity in Pennsylvania, and to sell our interests in RISEC Holdings, LLC, which owns a 609-MW power plant that serves the New England power market, for $715 million. Both transactions are subject to regulatory approvals and are expected to close in the first quarter of 2027.

Statutory accounts for the year ended December 31, 2025, were published in Shell's Annual Report and Accounts, a copy of which was delivered to the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales. The auditor's report on those accounts was unqualified, did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying the report and did not contain a statement under sections 498(2) or 498(3) of the Act.

Key accounting considerations, significant judgements and estimates

Future long-term commodity price assumptions, which represent a significant estimate, were subject to change in the second quarter 2026. These remained unchanged in the third quarter 2026. Noting continued volatility in markets, price assumptions remain under review.

The discount rates applied for impairment testing and the discount rate applied to provisions are reviewed on a regular basis. These discount rates applied in the first nine months of 2026 remain unchanged compared with 2025.

2. Segment information

Segment earnings are presented on an Adjusted Earnings basis (Adjusted Earnings), which is the earnings measure used by the Chief Executive Officer, who serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker, for the purposes of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. This aligns with Shell's focus on performance, discipline and simplification.

The Adjusted Earnings measure is presented on a current cost of supplies (CCS) basis and aims to facilitate a comparative understanding of Shell's financial performance from period to period by removing the effects of oil price changes on inventory carrying amounts and removing the effects of identified items. Identified items are in some cases driven by external factors and may, either individually or collectively, hinder the comparative understanding of Shell's financial results from period to period.

Identified Items

The objective of identified items is to exclude material impacts1 on net income/loss arising from transactions which are typically outside the control of management and are unusual in nature (e.g., infrequent or non-recurring events) or that result in a misalignment between accounting and economic outcomes. Certain transactions that are generally excluded from underlying results within the industry may also be classified as identified items.

Identified items comprise divestment gains and losses, impairment losses and reversals, redundancy and restructuring, fair value accounting effects on commodity derivatives and certain gas contracts, the impact of exchange rate movements and inflationary adjustments on certain deferred tax balances, and other items.

1. For the purpose of identification of items in certain categories materiality thresholds are applied.

1.Fair value accounting of commodity derivatives and certain gas contracts: In the ordinary course of business, Shell enters into contracts to supply or purchase oil and gas products, as well as power and environmental products. Shell also enters into contracts for tolling, pipeline and storage capacity. Derivative contracts are entered into for mitigation of resulting economic exposures (generally price exposure) and these derivative contracts are carried at period-end market price (fair value), with movements in fair value recognised in income for the period. Supply and purchase contracts entered into for operational purposes, as well as contracts for tolling, pipeline and storage capacity, are, by contrast, recognised when the transaction occurs; furthermore, inventory is carried at historical cost or net realisable value, whichever is lower. As a consequence, accounting mismatches occur because: (a) the supply or purchase transaction is recognised in a different period; or (b) the inventory is measured on a different basis. In addition, certain contracts are, due to pricing or delivery conditions, deemed to contain embedded derivatives or written options and are also required to be carried at fair value even though they are entered into for operational purposes. The accounting impacts are reported as identified items.

2.Other identified items represent other credits or charges that based on Shell management's assessment hinder the comparative understanding of Shell's financial results from period to period.

3.Impact of exchange rate movements and inflationary adjustments on tax balances represents the impact on tax balances of exchange rate movements and inflationary adjustments arising on: (a) the conversion to dollars of the local currency tax base of non-monetary assets and liabilities, as well as recognised tax losses (this primarily impacts the Integrated Gas and Upstream segments); and (b) the conversion of dollar-denominated inter-segment loans to local currency, leading to taxable exchange rate gains or losses (this primarily impacts the Corporate segment).

4. Share capital

1. See Note 8 “Acquisition of ARC Resources”.

At Shell plc’s Annual General Meeting on May 19, 2026, the Board was authorised to allot ordinary shares in Shell plc, and to grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert, any security into ordinary shares in Shell plc, up to an aggregate nominal amount of approximately €132 million (representing approximately 1,885 million ordinary shares of €0.07 each), and to list such shares or rights on any stock exchange. This authority expires at the earlier of the close of business on August 18, 2027, or the end of the Annual General Meeting to be held in 2027, unless previously renewed, revoked or varied by Shell plc in a general meeting.

5. Other reserves

The merger reserve and share premium reserve were established as a consequence of Shell plc (formerly Royal Dutch Shell plc) becoming the single parent company of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and The “Shell” Transport and Trading Company, p.l.c., now The Shell Transport and Trading Company Limited, in 2005. The merger reserve increased in 2016 following the issuance of shares for the acquisition of BG Group plc. The share premium reserve increased in the third quarter 2026 following the issuance of shares for the acquisition of ARC Resources Ltd. (see Note 8). The capital redemption reserve was established in connection with repurchases of shares of Shell plc. The share plan reserve is in respect of equity-settled share-based compensation plans.

6. Derivative financial instruments and debt excluding lease liabilities

As disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, presented in the Annual Report and Accounts and Form 20-F for that year, Shell is exposed to the risks of changes in fair value of its financial assets and liabilities. The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are defined as the price that would be received to sell an

Page 30

SHELL PLC

3rd QUARTER 2026 AND NINE MONTHS UNAUDITED RESULTS

asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values at September 30, 2026, are consistent with those used in the year ended December 31, 2025, though the carrying amounts of derivative financial instruments have changed since that date. The movement of the derivative financial instruments between December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2026 is an increase of $4,017 million for the current assets and an increase of $7,424 million for the current liabilities.

The table below provides the comparison of the fair value with the carrying amount of debt excluding lease liabilities, disclosed in accordance with IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

1. Shell issued no debt under the US shelf or under the Euro medium-term note programmes during 2026.

2. Mainly determined from the prices quoted for these securities.

Consolidated Statement of Income

Interest and other income

Depreciation, depletion and amortisation

Impairment of assets

Impairments recognised in the third quarter 2026 of $2,543 million pre-tax ($2,271 million post-tax) relate to

a European biogas asset in Marketing ($2,116 million) and various smaller impairments in other segments. The impairment in Marketing was principally triggered by reassessment of management expectations regarding the pace of market development and associated value realisation.

Impairments recognised in the second quarter 2026 of $629 million pre-tax ($545 million post-tax) principally relate to

Renewables and Energy Solutions ($581 million). The impairments in Renewables and Energy Solutions were principally triggered by portfolio choices regarding renewable generation assets in Asia and Europe.

Impairments recognised in the third quarter 2025 of $787 million pre-tax ($580 million post-tax) mainly relate to

Marketing ($588 million) and Chemicals and Products ($144 million). The impairment in Marketing was principally

triggered by the decision not to restart construction of the planned biofuels facility at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park

in Rotterdam.

Impairment reversals recognised in the third quarter 2026 of $1,801 million pre-tax ($1,365 million post-tax) principally relate to an asset in North America in Integrated gas ($1,787 million). The impairment reversal in Integrated Gas was triggered by changed commercial terms and LNG Canada Phase 2 FID taken in the third quarter 2026.

Taxation charge/credit

As required by IAS 12 Income Taxes, Shell has applied the exception to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.

On July 13, 2026, the UK Government published draft tax legislation that would exempt foreign permanent establishments from UK taxation, potentially limiting the use of foreign tax attributes against UK profits. Shell is monitoring the development of the draft legislation.

Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet

Deferred tax

The presentation in the balance sheet takes into consideration the offsetting of deferred tax assets and deferred tax

liabilities within the same tax jurisdiction, where this is permitted. The overall deferred tax position in a particular tax jurisdiction determines whether a deferred tax balance related to that jurisdiction is presented within deferred tax assets or

deferred tax liabilities.

Shell's net deferred tax position was a liability of $9,225 million at September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025: $3,810 million). The net increase in the net deferred tax liability is mainly driven by recognition of deferred tax liabilities in relation to the ARC acquisition (see Note 8) and utilisation of tax attributes.

Page 32

SHELL PLC

3rd QUARTER 2026 AND NINE MONTHS UNAUDITED RESULTS

Retirement benefits

Amounts recognised in the Balance Sheet in relation to defined benefit pension and OPEB plans include both plan assets and obligations that are presented on a net plan-by-plan basis. The change since December 31, 2025, in the net retirement benefit liability as at September 30, 2026, was mainly attributable to an increase in discount rates, resulting in a reduction of the Retirement benefits obligation, partly offset by lower-than-expected returns on plan assets.

Dutch pension reform

On July 1, 2023, new pension legislation ("Wet Toekomst Pensioenen" (WTP)) came into effect in the Netherlands, with implementation required prior to January 1, 2028. In July 2025, the Trustee Board of the Stichting Shell Pensioen Fonds (“SSPF”), Shell's defined benefit pension fund in the Netherlands, formally accepted the transition plan to transition from a defined benefit pension fund to a defined contribution plan with effect from January 1, 2027.

On September 2, 2026, the transition plan was approved by the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) through a decision not to prohibit the transfer of accrued pension entitlements (“Besluit geen verbod op invaren”) provided the funding ratio at transition remains within an agreed range.

The transition will be subject to final approval by the SSPF Trustee Board in the fourth quarter 2026.

In accordance with asset ceiling principles, in the third quarter 2025, Shell recognised an adjustment to reduce the pension fund surplus to nil, and recognised a liability for a minimum funding requirement, resulting in a loss in Other comprehensive income. The asset ceiling recognised continues to be monitored and remeasured in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits.

At the date of transition and settlement (expected December 31, 2026), the defined benefit plan will transition to a defined contribution plan. The derecognition of the defined benefit plan at that date is expected to result in an identified non-cash loss in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the fourth quarter 2026. At September 30, 2026, this loss is calculated at $6.4 billion. This loss is subject to actuarial remeasurement during the fourth quarter and is therefore subject to change.

Debt

Lease liabilities at September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, include vessel leases with index-linked payments. In accordance with IFRS 16, these lease liabilities are remeasured at spot rates. The spot rates applied to remeasure the lease liabilities may not be a fair reflection of the future payments under these long-term lease commitments. During the first nine months of 2026, significant increases in the underlying index due to the Middle East conflict resulted in an increase in lease liabilities at September 30, 2026, compared with December 31, 2025, of $7,684 million, with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use assets within Property, plant and equipment. Depreciation of the remeasurement of the right-of-use assets is recognised prospectively over the remaining lease term.

Assets classified as held for sale

Assets classified as held for sale and associated liabilities at September 30, 2026, principally relate to Sprng Energy, RISEC and Shell's European onshore renewables portfolio in Renewables and Energy Solutions and a working interest in Brazil in Upstream.

The major class of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale at September 30, 2026, is Property, plant and equipment ($3,159 million; December 31, 2025: $662 million).

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

Cash flow from operating activities - Other

Cash flow from operating activities - Other for the third quarter 2026 includes $2,189 million of net outflows due to the timing of payments relating to emission certificates and biofuel programmes in Europe and North America (second quarter 2026: $1,288 million net inflows, partly offset by the utilisation of recognised incentives of $470 million; third quarter 2025: $108 million net inflows).

8. Acquisition of ARC Resources

On September 2, 2026, Shell acquired all outstanding shares of ARC Resources Ltd. (“ARC”) for a purchase consideration of $13,937 million. This included cash of $3,336 million and the fair value of $10,601 million of approximately 228 million Shell shares issued in exchange for all ARC shares. The fair value of the shares issued was calculated using Shell’s closing share price of GBP 34.43 on September 2, 2026, and applicable exchange rates at that date.

ARC is a Canadian energy company focused on the exploration, development, and production of natural gas, condensate, and oil. Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, it is one of Canada's largest natural gas producers, with major operations in the Montney shale basin in British Columbia and Alberta. ARC strengthens Shell's Integrated Gas and Upstream portfolio and supports long-term LNG growth in Canada. The principal benefits expected from the acquisition include optimisation of the expanded Montney resource position, integration of production, infrastructure and processing capacity, portfolio optimisation and development sequencing opportunities, operational efficiencies and shared technical capabilities and corporate and functional cost synergies.

Goodwill of $2,169 million (see below) was recognised on the acquisition, being the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired as set out below. Goodwill recognised principally relates to deferred taxation recognised in fair valuing Property, plant and equipment and expected synergies from combining operations. In line with IFRS, the net asset fair values were determined at the date of acquisition, particularly in respect of Property, plant and equipment by reference to forecast commodity prices, as well as using estimates of proved oil and gas reserves and unproved volumes including timing of production, discount rates and exchange rates. Commodity prices applied were based on an average of commodity price forecasts by independent consultants.

Given the short timeframe since the acquisition, the purchase price allocation remains preliminary as at September 30, 2026. Shell recognised provisional amounts for certain acquired assets and liabilities, primarily relating to the valuation of Property, plant and equipment and related deferred taxes. As a result, the goodwill of $2,169 million recognised on acquisition is provisional and may be adjusted.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE (NON-GAAP) MEASURES

A. Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Cash flow from operating activities

The “Adjusted Earnings” measure is presented on a current cost of supplies basis and aims to facilitate a comparative understanding of Shell’s financial performance from period to period by removing the effects of oil price changes on inventory carrying amounts and removing the effects of identified items. These items are in some cases driven by external factors and may, either individually or collectively, hinder the comparative understanding of Shell’s financial results from period to period. This measure excludes earnings attributable to non-controlling interest when presenting the total Shell Group result but includes this item when presenting individual segment Adjusted Earnings as set out in the table below.

See Note 2 “Segment information” for the reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings.

We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as “Income/(loss) for the period” adjusted for current cost of supplies; identified items; tax charge/(credit); depreciation, amortisation and depletion; exploration well write-offs and net interest expense. All items include the non-controlling interest component. Management uses this measure to evaluate Shell's performance in the period and over time.

Identified items

The objective of identified items is to exclude material impacts1 on net income/loss arising from transactions which are typically outside the control of management and are unusual in nature (e.g., infrequent or non-recurring events) or that result in a misalignment between accounting and economic outcomes. Certain transactions that are generally excluded from underlying results within the industry may also be classified as identified items.

Page 39

SHELL PLC

3rd QUARTER 2026 AND NINE MONTHS UNAUDITED RESULTS

Identified items comprise divestment gains and losses, impairment losses and reversals, redundancy and restructuring, fair value accounting effects on commodity derivatives and certain gas contracts, the impact of exchange rate movements and inflationary adjustments on certain deferred tax balances, and other items.

See Note 2 “Segment information” for details.

1. For the purpose of identification of items in certain categories materiality thresholds are applied.

B. Adjusted Earnings per share

Adjusted Earnings per share is calculated as Adjusted Earnings (see Reference A), divided by the weighted average number of shares used as the basis for basic earnings per share (see Note 3).

C. Cash capital expenditure

Cash capital expenditure represents cash spent on maintaining and developing assets as well as on investments in the period. Management regularly monitors this measure as a key lever to delivering sustainable cash flows. Cash capital expenditure is the sum of the following lines from the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows: Capital expenditure, Investments in joint ventures and associates and Investments in equity securities.

See Note 2 “Segment information” for the reconciliation of cash capital expenditure.

D. Capital employed and Return on average capital employed

Return on average capital employed ("ROACE") measures the efficiency of Shell’s utilisation of the capital that it employs.

The measure refers to Capital employed which consists of total equity, current debt, and non-current debt reduced by cash and cash equivalents.

In this calculation, the sum of Adjusted Earnings (see Reference A) plus non-controlling interest (NCI) excluding identified items for the current and previous three quarters, adjusted for after-tax interest expense and after-tax interest income, is expressed as a percentage of the average capital employed excluding cash and cash equivalents for the same period.

Page 40

SHELL PLC

3rd QUARTER 2026 AND NINE MONTHS UNAUDITED RESULTS

E. Net debt and gearing

Net debt is defined as the sum of current and non-current debt, less cash and cash equivalents, adjusted for the fair value of derivative financial instruments used to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate risk relating to debt, and associated collateral balances. Management considers this adjustment useful because it reduces the volatility of net debt caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates, and eliminates the potential impact of related collateral payments or receipts. Debt-related derivative financial instruments are a subset of the derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities presented on the balance sheet. Collateral balances are reported under “Trade and other receivables” or “Trade and other payables” as appropriate.

Net debt excluding lease liabilities is calculated by subtracting lease liabilities from Net debt.

Gearing is a measure of Shell's capital structure and is defined as Net debt as a percentage of total capital (Net debt plus total equity).

Gearing excluding lease liabilities is defined as Net debt excluding lease liabilities as a percentage of total capital excluding lease liabilities (Net debt excluding lease liabilities plus total equity).

Lease liabilities are frequently long-term operational necessities rather than discretionary financing choices. Management believes that using Net debt excluding lease liabilities and Gearing excluding lease liabilities alongside Net debt and Gearing gives better insight to the financial position by reflecting debt and capital directly tied to discretionary financing activities, and improving comparability against peers with different asset ownership strategies or following different accounting standards.

3rd QUARTER 2026 AND NINE MONTHS UNAUDITED RESULTS

F. Operating expenses and Underlying operating expenses

Operating expenses*

Operating expenses is a measure of Shell’s cost management performance, comprising the following items from the Consolidated Statement of Income: production and manufacturing expenses; selling, distribution and administrative expenses; and research and development expenses.

Page 42

SHELL PLC

3rd QUARTER 2026 AND NINE MONTHS UNAUDITED RESULTS

* Operational measure for US reporting purposes

Underlying operating expenses

Underlying operating expenses is a measure aimed at facilitating a comparative understanding of performance from period to period by removing the effects of identified items, which, either individually or collectively, can cause volatility, in some cases driven by external factors.

G. Free cash flow and Organic free cash flow

Free cash flow is used to evaluate cash available for financing activities, including dividend payments and debt servicing, after investment in maintaining and growing the business. It is defined as the sum of “Cash flow from operating activities” and “Cash flow from investing activities”.

Cash flows from acquisition and divestment activities are removed from Free cash flow to arrive at the Organic free cash flow, a measure used by management to evaluate the generation of free cash flow without these activities.

1.Cash outflows related to inorganic capital expenditure includes portfolio actions which expand Shell's activities through acquisitions and restructuring activities as reported in capital expenditure lines in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

2. Cash inflows and outflows related to acquisitions and divestment related activities, which are not reported as divestment proceeds, tax paid on divestments nor as inorganic capital expenditure; reported under “Other investing cash inflows” or “Other investing cash outflows”

Page 43

SHELL PLC

3rd QUARTER 2026 AND NINE MONTHS UNAUDITED RESULTS

H. Cash flow from operating activities excluding working capital movements

Working capital movements are defined as the sum of the following items in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:

(i) (increase)/decrease in inventories, (ii) (increase)/decrease in current receivables, and (iii) increase/(decrease) in current payables.

Cash flow from operating activities excluding working capital movements is a measure used by Shell to analyse its operating cash generation over time excluding the timing effects of changes in inventories and operating receivables and payables from period to period.

I. Divestment proceeds

Divestment proceeds represent cash received from divestment activities in the period. Management regularly monitors this measure as a key lever to deliver free cash flow.

These risk factors also expressly qualify all forward-looking statements contained in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report and should be considered by the reader. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report, October 29, 2026. Neither Shell plc nor any of its subsidiaries undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other information. In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred from the forward-looking statements contained in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report.

Shell's net carbon intensity and net-zero emissions target

In this Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.

Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our combined Scope 1 and 2 target, NCI target and our oil products ambition over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.

This Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Report may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as cash capital expenditure and Adjusted Earnings. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.
