These achievements are the outcome of years of planning and preparation. One of the most important functions of the Sustainability Committee is to ensure Woodside focuses on the right sustainability topics, appropriately manages key risks, opportunities and impacts, sets plans and targets that add value to our business, and that we deliver what we say we will do. In this Sustainability Report we provide updates on our performance and plans for the four material sustainability topics: Health, safety and wellbeing; Indigenous Peoples cultural heritage and engagement; Environment and biodiversity; and Climate. We also provide information on our governance and risk management processes, which enabled us to identify these priorities and oversee our progress in addressing them.

For Woodside, a lower-carbon portfolio is one from which the net equity Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, which includes the use of offsets, are being reduced towards targets, and into which new energy products and lower-carbon services are planned to be introduced as a complement to existing and new investments in oil and gas. Our Climate Policy sets out the principles that we believe will assist us to achieve this aim. Woodside uses the term 'lower-carbon' to describe the characteristic of having lower levels of associated potential GHG emissions when compared to historical and/or current conventions or analogues, for example relating to an otherwise similar resource, process, production, facility, product or service, or activity. Woodside's Board approved policies are available on our website at woodside.com. 2. Following internal and external stakeholder feedback, Woodside updated its reference from First Nations to Indigenous Peoples because First Nations is not a globally accepted or widely used term beyond Australia. Indigenous Peoples aligns with the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) language and is the recognised collective term in international law.

50 Woodside Energy Annual Report 2025 3.6.4 Material Topic – Health, safety and wellbeing Systems The expectations that apply to Woodside assets and employees across all of our business locations are defined in Our Code of Conduct, our Health and Safety Policy and our Working Respectfully Policy. All employees, contractors and joint venture participants engaged in activities under Woodside's operational control are responsible for the application of this approach. The new Woodside Management System (WMS) establishes the minimum expectations and requirements for working safely across our business. It outlines the processes and systems used to identify, assess, and control risks, applying the hierarchy of controls to manage hazards effectively. Implementation of the new WMS began in March 2025 and included comprehensive stakeholder engagement. Working with contractors Woodside engages a wide range of contractors across both Woodside-operated sites and contractor-operated locations. Clear definition of HSE responsibilities is essential to ensure both parties understand the interfaces and know which organisation is accountable for each element of the HSE management system. Woodside applies three contract modes to communicate this approach. Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3 Woodside led Contractor led with Woodside oversight Contractor controlled – Woodside guided • Woodside leads and directs the work. • The contractor provides the equipment or facilities • Mode 3 typically applies at contractor or third-party used to perform the work on Woodside, contractor sites, such as fabrication yards or locations • Woodside's HSE management system or third party sites – for example, work in a fenced- controlled by another operator until handover applies.

Stand Together for Safety is Woodside's annual, company-wide safety initiative designed to refocus attention on what safety means in day-to-day work. The program brings employees and contractors together across assets, offices and regions to reflect on key safety themes, share learnings, and strengthen a culture of care.

52 Woodside Energy Annual Report 2025 3.6.4 Material Topic – Health, safety and wellbeing Risk Management Woodside's risk management process is described in Section 3.6.3 – Risk Management and Section 3.7 – Risk factors of this report. Potential risks and opportunities For Woodside the potential key risks and opportunities regarding health, safety and wellbeing are as follows: Risks • Significant loss of primary containment resulting from a PSE, such as a flammable substance leak which subsequently results in a fire Woodside employees learning about process safety risks • Failure to effectively plan and execute high-risk activities, at a Perth training centre. such as working at height, resulting in a fall to ground and serious injury • Failure to identify or mitigate health and safety risks, such as work plans changes and not being able to access appropriate CASE STUDY tools for the job, leading to a serious injury.

This approach focuses on leadership accountabilities • Build our relationships with contractors to support our and behaviours, building upon Woodside's strong common safety performance goals technical approach to PSM. • Improve tracking and visibility of leading indicators of health PSM is about protecting people and the environment and safety (including Field Leadership records) to target areas from the major hazards in oil, gas and chemical industries. for improvement prior to the occurrence of incidents. Woodside's adoption of a PSM framework demanded an investment of time and capability building to enhance the way Woodside managed process safety. To accomplish this, Woodside formed a project team that included representatives from Woodside, joint venture participants, and specialist consultants, with support from Woodside's Executive Leadership Team. Competency of personnel in PSCRs remains a cornerstone of the approach. The outcome is a PSM framework that has a focus on early detection of weaknesses in process safety controls using the WMS and internal expertise to support ongoing effectiveness of these controls. At the end of 2025, more than 270 current senior leadership and advanced technical PSCR personnel have completed an independent competency assessment, a process that may take several weeks or months. During the 10 years from 2015 to 2025 more than 3,200 employees have participated across various levels of the Woodside PSM competency program. After a decade, the commitment to the program remains strong. Woodside continues to integrate PSM into daily routines, track progress and remain vigilant to process safety risks.

There is diversity within the Indigenous communities in the areas where we are active. When communicating with a wide audience, Woodside uses the term "Indigenous Peoples" to refer to Traditional Owners and Custodians. At a local level, Woodside will be guided by the community about the appropriate terms to use. Following internal and external stakeholder feedback, Woodside has updated our reference from First Nations to Indigenous because First Nations is not a globally accepted or widely used term beyond Australia. Indigenous Peoples aligns with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) language and is the recognised collective term in international law. 2. Cultural Heritage – Tangible and intangible aspects of Indigenous culture, including sites, stories, objects, knowledge and traditions that hold ongoing significance. 3.

Australian Indigenous employment is a key focus for Woodside and its workforce and is identified as an indicator under Pillar 3 "Economic participation" of Woodside's RAP in Australia with a target of 6.6% Indigenous workforce in 2025. Workforce Cultural Competency is also recognised as an important measure and an indicator under Pillar 1 "Respect for culture and heritage" of Woodside's RAP in Australia. Employees are encouraged to complete cultural learning annually, with a target of 90% completion in 2025. In 2026, Woodside will implement its Indigenous Peoples Strategy, which is Woodside's global equivalent of a RAP. The Strategy's intent is to build meaningful partnerships with Indigenous Peoples everywhere we operate. By working together, we safeguard cultural heritage, strengthen communities, and create economic opportunities guided by self-determination that ensures a positive legacy for future generations.

Woodside used latest available published data and used data interpolation for the years where data was not published by the IEA. For gas pricing assumptions all non-contracted LNG volumes were assessed at IEA's Japan import price, as a proxy for North Asian LNG spot price. Woodside used a starting point of US$80/t CO -e consistent with internal carbon pricing, given the IEA's published carbon 2 prices start from 2035 onwards.

It provides regular of rapid decarbonisation in the near term, which also apply to assessments of the scientific basis of climate change, its impacts analysis of the potential physical impacts of climate change. and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. Methodology Through its assessments, the IPCC identifies the strength of In 2025, Woodside conducted a physical climate risk scenario scientific agreement in different areas and indicates where analysis. This incorporated assessment of 99 locations along further research is needed. The IPCC does not conduct its Woodside's value chain in 16 countries, including both operated own research. and non-operated assets, both existing or planned, and both offshore and onshore. The analysis also included the assessment of 14 downstream locations, such as loading and discharge ports, and five locations of upstream suppliers. The following table outlines the key inputs and parameters used in the physical climate risk scenario analysis. Scenarios o o Global warming is limited to an increase of 1.8 C, with a P5-95 range of 1.3 to 2.4 C above pre-industrial levels, RCP 2.6/SSP1-2.6 requiring aggressive mitigation strategies and a transition to sustainable energy sources. o RCP 4.5/SSP2-4.5 Stabilisation scenario where emissions peak around 2040 and then decline, leading to a temperature increase of 2.7 C, o with a P5-95 range of 2.1 to 3.5 C. It reflects moderate mitigation efforts and a mix of energy sources. o RCP 8.5/SSP5-8.5 GHG emissions continue to rise throughout the 21st century, leading to a temperature increase of 4.4 C with a P5-95 o range of 3.3 to 5.7 C. It assumes a reliance on fossil fuels and limited climate policies.

Woodside has also considered SSP1-1.9 as a 1.5°C pathway. However, the limited availability of downscaled data for SSP1-1.9 constrains assessment. Accordingly, Woodside has adopted SSP1-2.6 as our lower-warming scenario for assessing physical risk noting that SSP1-1.9 reflects a more favourable emissions trajectory and would not be expected to produce greater physical climate risk impacts than those modelled under SSP1-2.6. 1.

OVERVIEW STRATEGY AND OUR BUSINESS GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 83 I FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE N Assessment of resilience Woodside's business and corporate strategy has been assessed by Woodside as resilient in the short-, medium- and long-term to the identified material climate-related risks and opportunities. For the year ended 31 December 2025, there were no material quantifiable financial impacts to the financial performance, position and cash flow arising from these climate-related risks and opportunities. In addition, Woodside did not identify any material adjustments and there were no requirements to adjust resourcing. The cost of responding to these material climate-related risks and opportunities are inherently built into our current business processes and systems, resourcing and work plans and budgets.

OVERVIEW STRATEGY AND OUR BUSINESS GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 89 I FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE N Climate-related targets Woodside has stated targets to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 net equity GHG emissions by 15% by 2025 and by 30% by 2030 relative to a starting base of 6.27 Mt CO -e which is 2 representative of the portfolio gross annual average equity Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions over 2016–2020. The starting base has been adjusted for the merger between Woodside and BHP Group's Petroleum business (completed on 1 June 2022) which increased the starting base from 3.59 Mt CO₂-e to 6.32 Mt CO₂-e and for the divestment of the Greater Angostura assets (completed on 11 July 2025) which subsequently reduced it from 6.32 Mt CO₂-e to 6.27 Mt CO₂-e. Woodside prioritises reducing GHG emissions through design and operations and subsequently utilises its portfolio of certified carbon credits to meet these regulatory obligations and voluntary targets having regard to its internal carbon price of US$80/t CO -e. 2 The SGM is the Australian Government's policy for reducing GHG emissions at Australia's largest industrial facilities, aiming to help achieve Australia's GHG emission reduction targets of 43% below 2005 levels by 2030 and 62–70% by 2035 as set out in Australia's latest NDC submitted under the Paris Agreement. Woodside's Australian facilities have obligations under the SGM which requires us to manage GHG emissions in excess of their production-linked baselines. This can include the of use of ACCUs, SMCs or other compliance options available. ACCUs were surrendered against Woodside's 2025 equity Scope 1 GHG emissions to meet SGM obligations. Some onshore facilities in Western Australia, such as Pluto and Wheatstone, also have additional conditions requiring the management of GHG in 2025. When offsets are surrendered against Woodside's equity Scope 1 GHG emissions to comply with these obligations, those offsets also contribute to progress toward our net equity GHG emissions targets. Woodside's net equity Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions targets are not accompanied by an associated gross equity GHG emissions target however Woodside routinely establishes an annual gross equity Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions target for internal management purposes, including to inform executive and employee remuneration. Targets were not derived using the sector-specific absolute reduction method (also known as sectoral decarbonisation approach). Targets have not been validated by a third party.

Commercial and market risks are associated with the ability to capture value whether markets are stable or volatile. Generally, Woodside does not have control over the factors that affect market development and prices. How is this factor relevant to Woodside? Woodside's revenues are primarily derived from the sale of oil and gas. We seek to forecast changes in the economic factors to enable us to The prices Woodside receives for these products are variable and are maintain a strong market position during challenging economic times. affected by global economic factors beyond Woodside's control. Refer to Section 6.3 – Additional disclosures and section A in the Notes to the Financial Statements provides further information. Uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, tariffs, the energy transition, and geopolitical tensions can create strategic and financial challenges for Woodside. Volatile commodity prices and inflationary pressures can erode margins and disrupt capital planning, while tariffs and trade restrictions increase supply chain costs and complexity.

Assessment of the economic value in support of an SPE-PRMS reserves and resources Additional information for US investors classification, uses Woodside Portfolio Economic Assumptions (Woodside PEAs). The Woodside PEAs are reviewed on an annual basis, or more often if required. The review is based on historical data and forecast estimates for economic variables such as product prices and The SEC prohibits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the exchange rates. The Woodside PEAs are approved by the Woodside Board. Specific contractual SEC, from disclosing estimates of oil or gas resources other than arrangements for individual projects are also taken into account. 8.

All proved reserves estimates have been estimated using deterministic methods and reported on a net interest basis in accordance with Woodside includes estimates of quantities of oil and gas using the SEC regulations and have been determined in accordance with SEC Rule 4-10(a) of certain terms, such as 'proved plus probable (2P) reserves,' 'best Regulation S-X.

Contingent resources are different from, and should not be construed as, reserves.

154 Woodside Energy Annual Report 2025 4.3.2 Remuneration Report (audited) continued Key features Description Allocation methodology • Restricted Shares and Performance Rights are allocated using a face-value allocation methodology. The number of Restricted Shares and Performance Rights is calculated by dividing the value by the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the company's shares traded on each trading day across December of the performance year. Clawback provisions • The Board has broad discretion to reduce vested and unvested entitlements, including (among other circumstances) where an Executive has acted fraudulently or dishonestly or is found to be in material breach of their obligations; they have engaged in an act which has brought a Group company into disrepute or may negatively impact any Group company's reputation in a material way; vesting is not justified or supportable; there is a material misstatement or omission in the financial statements; or a significant unexpected or unintended consequence or outcome has occurred. • Woodside has adopted a Mandatory Clawback Policy consistent with the requirements of section 303.A14 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. Where the company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws, the company will recoup the amount of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation in accordance with such Mandatory Clawback Policy. Control event • The Board has the discretion to determine the treatment of any EIS award on a change of control event. If an actual change of control occurs during the performance year, an Executive will generally receive at least a pro-rata cash payment in respect of the unallocated cash and Restricted Share components of the EIS award for that performance year, assessed at target. • If an actual change of control occurs during the vesting period for equity awards, unless the Board determines otherwise, Restricted Shares will vest in full, whilst Performance Rights will vest on a pro-rata basis, having regard to the portion of the vesting period elapsed. Cessation of employment • The Board has the discretion to determine the treatment of any EIS award on cessation of employment. During a performance year, if an Executive resigns or their employment is terminated for cause, no EIS award will be provided (unless the Board determines otherwise). In any other case of cessation of employment, Woodside will have regard to performance against target and the portion of the performance year elapsed in determining any EIS award. • During a vesting period, if an Executive resigns (or gives notice of their resignation) or their employment is terminated for cause, all Restricted Shares and Performance Rights will be forfeited or lapse (unless the Board determines otherwise). If an Executive ceases employment for any other reason, all Restricted Shares will vest in full at a date determined by the Board and any Performance Rights will remain on foot and will remain subject to the original terms. • In all cases, the Board retains discretion to determine alternative treatments in relation to unvested Restricted Shares and Performance Rights, including to lapse or forfeit some or all of them. Adjustments to Performance Rights • The Board has discretion to vary the peer group including to consider events that occur prior to vesting (for example, takeovers, mergers or de-mergers). • The Board may also adjust vesting outcomes or include or exclude items that the Board considers appropriate, including to better reflect shareholder expectations or management performance. • The Board may grant additional Performance Rights or make adjustments it considers appropriate to the terms of a Performance Right if there is a corporate action by, or capital reconstruction in relation to, the company, including any return of capital. Dealing restrictions • Executives must not deal in their unvested Restricted Shares or Performance Rights prior to vesting, except in limited circumstances.

160 Woodside Energy Annual Report 2025 4.3.2 Remuneration Report (audited) continued 2026 Executive KMP remuneration Following a comprehensive annual review of Executive KMP remuneration, the Board has approved adjustments to the FAR for each Executive KMP. The review incorporated external benchmarking information from independent remuneration consultants, KPMG (Australia) and Meridian (US), aiming to position FAR between the median and upper quartile of the ASX20. The Board believes this positioning is crucial for Woodside to continue to attract and retain top-tier global talent. The Board approved increases to FAR for Mr Kalms and Mr Abbotsford of 3%, for Ms Westcott of 6% and for Mr Tiver of 8%, effective from 1 January 2026. The increases consider continued strong individual performance, responsibilities of their roles and recent market adjustments, ensuring Woodside maintains a competitive position. These decisions reflect our commitment to aligning Executive remuneration with shareholder interests and long-term value creation. Following Ms O'Neill's resignation as CEO, and to maintain focus on the effective delivery of the company's strategy and provide leadership stability during the CEO transition and onboarding process, a retention award will be made to Mr Tiver, Mr Kalms and Mr Abbotsford in March 2026. The award will comprise Equity Rights with an approximate value of A$750,000 for each Executive, 1 awarded under the Supplementary Woodside Equity Plan, with vesting in December 2027. The vesting period of the award supports leadership stability and the retention of critical capabilities to ensure seamless execution of the Corporate Plan for 2026 and 2027, including maintaining momentum against our key major projects. While vesting is subject to continued service, the Board retains the discretion to determine the final vesting outcome. In the event a recipient of the retention award is appointed to the position of CEO during the vesting period, their Equity Rights under the retention award will lapse. The offer will also extend to Ms Westcott, following the completion of her Acting CEO role, in the event that she is not appointed into the role permanently. New incentive scheme for 2026 Woodside has transitioned its VAR for the Executives from a combined Executive Incentive Scheme to a distinct STI and LTI structure. This change reflects our commitment to strengthening alignment between Executive remuneration and shareholder outcomes, while ensuring our framework remains competitive and strategically focused. Woodside's remuneration consultant provided benchmarking information to the HR&CC and Board to support the design of the new incentive scheme for 2026. There are no changes to the FAR structure. The design of the STI and LTI structure aims to respond to investor feedback by: • Strengthening our long-term focus by increasing our weighting to long-term performance tested equity. • Aligning with market practice across the ASX and against our global peers, who generally operate with separate STI and LTI plans. • Supporting greater alignment with Woodside's strategy through refined annual scorecard measures and the introduction of a second performance measure in the LTI structure. In reviewing our VAR framework, Woodside also took the opportunity to review and refresh the key objectives underpinning the framework: • Attract and retain global talent to support strategic delivery • Market competitive across regions • External alignment with stakeholders, the shareholder experience and to drive superior shareholder returns • Simple and transparent for external stakeholders and Executives 1. Equivalent to 31,281 Equity Rights.

This approach ensures Executives are not disincentivised from pursuing long-term investments that may temporarily dilute ROACE prior to production commencing but are expected to deliver long-term benefit to shareholders.

If the Performance conditions performance conditions are not met, there is no retesting and awards will lapse. If the performance conditions are met, the (LTI only) Performance Rights will vest at the end of the five-year period (subject to service conditions being met). Dividends • Executives are entitled to receive dividends on Restricted Shares. • No dividends are paid on Performance Rights prior to vesting. For Performance Rights that do vest, a dividend equivalent payment will be paid by Woodside for dividends paid during the period between allocation and vesting. The Board has the discretion to determine the treatment of any STI or LTI award on cessation of employment. Cessation of employment During a performance year, if an Executive resigns or their employment is terminated for cause, no STI award will be provided (unless the Board determines otherwise). In any other case of cessation of employment, the Board will have regard to performance against target and the portion of the performance year lapsed in determining any STI award. During a Vesting Period, if an Executive resigns (or gives notice of their resignation) or their employment is terminated for cause, all Restricted Shares and Performance Rights will be forfeited or lapse (unless the Board determines otherwise). If an Executive ceases employment for any other reason, unless the Board determines otherwise: • Restricted Shares will vest in full from a date determined by the Board; and • a pro-rata portion of the Performance Rights, equal to the elapsed portion of the combined five-year performance and service period, will remain on foot and subject to the original terms. Note, some Performance Rights may have already lapsed following the performance test at the end of the three-year performance period. Any Performance Rights that do not remain on foot will lapse. In all cases (including if notice of resignation or cessation of employment is after the end of the Vesting Period but before the Vesting Date), the Board retains discretion to determine alternative treatments in relation to unvested awards, including to lapse some or all of them. The Board has broad discretion to reduce vested and unvested entitlements, including (among other circumstances) where an Malus and clawback Executive has acted fraudulently or dishonestly or is found to be in material breach of their obligations; they have engaged in an act which has brought a Group company into disrepute or may negatively impact any Group company's reputation in a material way; vesting is not justified or supportable; there is a material misstatement or omission in the financial statements; or a significant unexpected or unintended consequence or outcome has occurred. Restricted Shares and Performance Rights are allocated using a face value allocation methodology. The number of Restricted Allocation methodology Shares and Performance Rights is calculated by dividing the value by the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the company's shares traded on each trading day across December of the year prior to the award date. The Board has the discretion to determine the treatment of any award on a change of control event. If an actual change of Control event control occurs during the performance year, an Executive will generally receive at least a pro-rata cash payment in respect of the unallocated cash and Restricted Share components of the award for that performance year assessed at target. If an actual change of control occurs during the vesting period for equity awards, unless the Board determines otherwise, Restricted Shares will vest in full, whilst Performance Rights will vest on a pro-rata basis, having regard to the portion of the vesting period elapsed. Executives must not deal in their unvested Restricted Shares or Performance Rights prior to vesting, except in Dealing restrictions limited circumstances.

The number of Restricted Shares and Performance Rights allocated for 2025 was calculated by dividing the amount of the Executive's entitlement allocated to Restricted Shares by the face value of Woodside shares. The USD fair value of Restricted Shares and Performance Rights at their date of grant has been estimated by reference to the closing share price at 31 December 2025 and preliminary modelling respectively.

Any differences between the estimated fair value at 31 December 2025 and the final fair value will be trued-up in the 2026 financial year. The fair value is not indicative of the benefit (if any) that an individual Executive may ultimately realise should these equity instruments vest. 3.

The USD fair value of Restricted Shares and Performance Rights at their date of grant was estimated by reference to the closing share price at 31 December 2024 and preliminary modelling respectively. Grant date for Executive KMP awards has been determined to be the date of the Board of Directors' approval, being 25 February 2025.

The amount includes the EIS cash incentive earned in the respective year, which is actually paid in the following year. Amounts were translated to USD using the closing spot rate on 31 December of the respective year. This reflects pro-rated amounts for the period that Executives were in KMP roles. 3. In accordance with the requirements of AASB 2 Share-based Payment, the fair value of equity instruments as at their date of grant has been determined with reference to the closing share price at grant date, or by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing technique or applying the binomial valuation method combined with a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of equity instruments is amortised over the vesting period from the commencement of the service period, such that "total remuneration" includes a portion of the fair value of unvested equity compensation during the year. The portion of the expense relating to the 2025 EIS has been measured using estimated fair values as disclosed in footnote 2 in Table 5. The amount included as remuneration is not indicative of the benefit (if any) that individual Executives may ultimately realise should these equity instruments vest. 4. Mr Kalms' Restricted Share expense includes $77,035 of cash-settled awards relating to Notional Shares granted under the EIS in 2023 in respect of the 2022 performance year, prior to his appointment as KMP. The terms of the Notional Shares are broadly the same as the Restricted Shares granted under the 2023 EIS, except that Notional Shares are delivered in cash rather than equity. The terms of Mr Kalms' unvested Notional Shares were amended on 10 December 2025, such that Mr Kalms is intended to receive Woodside shares upon vesting (no cash amount is payable on vesting). 5. The total remuneration in AUD is converted from USD using the exchange rate reflective of the service period. This non-IFRS unaudited information is included for the purposes of showing the total annual cost of benefits to the company in Australian dollars for the service period. 6. Performance-related outcome percentage is calculated as total variable annual reward divided by the USD total remuneration figure. 7. Ms Westcott was appointed Acting CEO on 18 December 2025. 8. Mr Kalms was appointed as an Executive KMP on 1 August 2024. For the period Mr Kalms was a KMP in 2024 until 1 March 2025, he received his remuneration, including assignment allowances, in AUD. These allowances, A$182,969 in 2024 and A$70,110 in 2025, were paid on a net basis in addition to the allowances disclosed in this table. Woodside covered the tax liabilities on these allowances. Commencing 1 March 2025, Mr Kalms received his remuneration and assignment allowances in USD on a gross basis. The allowances for the period from 1 March 2025 (US$393,333) are included in the Salaries, fees and allowances disclosed in this table. 9. Mr Abbotsford was appointed as an Executive KMP on 1 August 2024. 10. Ms O'Neill elected to receive a cash payment in lieu of all superannuation contributions in accordance with the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992, on the basis of being a Senior Foreign Executive. The cash payment is subject to (PAYG) income tax and paid as part of Ms O'Neill's normal monthly salary. The amount is included in Salaries, fees and allowances. Ms O'Neill resigned on 18 December 2025.

Each Performance Right and Equity Right is a right to receive a fully paid ordinary share in Woodside (or, at the Board's discretion, as cash equivalent). No amount is payable by the Executive on the grant or vesting of a Performance Right or Equity Right. 2. Vesting date and exercise date are the same. Vesting is subject to satisfaction of vesting conditions. Full details of the vesting conditions for all prior year equity grants to Executive KMP are included in the remuneration report for the relevant year. 3. For Restricted Shares and Performance Rights granted in 2026, where the vesting date is not yet known the estimated vesting month is shown. 4. All of the Performance Rights allocated to Ms O'Neill, Mr Kalms and Mr Abbotsford in respect to the 2019 EIS lapsed as the RTSR performance within each peer group was below the hurdle for vesting. All of the Restricted Shares and Performance Rights allocated to Ms O'Neill lapsed upon her resignation. 5. In accordance with the requirements of AASB 2 Share-based Payment, the fair value of Performance Rights and Equity Rights as at their date of grant has been determined by applying the Black-Scholes option pricing technique or binomial valuation method combined with a Monte Carlo simulation. The amount included as remuneration is not indicative of the benefit (if any) that Executives may ultimately realise should these equity instruments vest. 6. The fair value of Restricted Shares as at their date of grant has been determined by reference to the share price at grant date. The fair value is not indicative of the benefit (if any) that individual Executive KMP may ultimately realise should these equity instruments vest. 7. Fair values for the 2025 EIS with grant date being 24 February 2026 have been estimated as disclosed in footnote 2 of Table 5. Fair values for the 2024 EIS with grant dates of 25 February 2025 have been trued-up as disclosed in footnote 3 of Table 5. 8. The maximum value of the equity instruments awarded for future financial years has been determined as the fair value amount at grant date multiplied by the number of equity instruments awarded, less what has been amortised to date. The minimum total value of the equity instruments awarded for future financial years is nil if relevant vesting conditions are not satisfied. 9. In respect of the 2024 EIS award, Ms O'Neill was granted Performance Rights and Restricted Shares on 8 May 2025 as approved by shareholders at the 2025 Woodside Annual General Meeting under Listing Rule 10.14. 10. Mr Tiver's Equity Rights did not vest until the 27 October 2025 due to trading restrictions. 11. Mr Kalms was previously granted 23,383 Notional Shares, which provided him with an entitlement to receive a cash amount upon vesting equivalent to the price of Woodside securities on the vesting date. The Notional Shares were granted in lieu of Restricted Shares, considering relevant securities and taxation requirements in the United States, where Mr Kalms is based. The terms of Mr Kalms Notional Shares were amended on 10 December 2025, such that Mr Kalms is intended to receive Woodside shares upon vesting (no cash amount is payable on vesting). As a result, Mr Kalms Notional Shares now constitute equity securities under the ASX Listing Rules. The fair value of the Notional Shares has been remeasured at the date of modification. The terms of the Notional Shares have not otherwise changed.

Restoration and other provisions The energy transition may result in restoration activities occurring earlier than expected. 56% (2024: 53%) of the Group's non-current restoration liabilities are expected to be settled more than 10 years in the future. Restoration cost estimates require judgemental assumptions regarding removal date, environmental legislation and regulations and the extent of restoration activities required. These cost estimates may change in the future, as a result of increased regulatory scrutiny and the energy transition. This includes the demand and related costs for offshore services which can be influenced by renewable energy construction. Woodside continues to monitor the uncertainty around climate change risks to assess if additional changes to restoration provisions should be recognised. Refer to Note D.5 for further details.

186 Woodside Energy Annual Report 2025 Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 A. Earnings for the period IN THIS SECTION This section addresses financial performance of the Group for the reporting period including, where applicable, the accounting policies applied and the significant estimates and judgements made. This section also includes the tax position of the Group for and at the end of the reporting period. A. Earnings for the period A.1 Segment revenue and expenses Page 187 A.2 Finance costs Page 191 A.3 Dividends paid and proposed Page 191 A.4 Earnings per share Page 191 A.5 Taxes Page 192 KEY FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISKS IN THIS SECTION Commodity price risk management The Group's revenue is exposed to commodity price fluctuations through the sale of hydrocarbons. Commodity price risks are measured by monitoring and stress testing the Group's forecast financial position to sustained periods of low commodity prices. This analysis is regularly performed on the Group's portfolio and as required for discrete projects and transactions. The Group's management of commodity price risk includes the use of commodity derivatives to hedge its exposure (refer to Note D.6). The hedged exposure includes oil-linked revenue related to produced volumes and revenues derived from trading operations. Commodity derivatives are used to manage the Group's price risk within its corporate and trading portfolios. As at the reporting date, the Group held commodity hedging financial instruments with a net asset carrying value of $176 million (2024: $27 million) exposed to commodity price risk. An increase in relevant commodity prices of 10% would decrease the instruments' carrying value by $77 million, the effect of which would be recognised within reserves and/or the income statement in accordance with hedge accounting application. A 10% decrease would have the same but opposite effect. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant (including the price on underlying physical exposures). Foreign exchange risk management Foreign exchange risk arises from future commitments, financial assets and financial liabilities that are not denominated in US dollars. The majority of the Group's revenue is denominated in US dollars. The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from operating and capital expenditure incurred in currencies other than US dollars, particularly Australian dollars. The Group's management of foreign exchange risk relating to capital expenditure includes the use of forward exchange contract derivatives to hedge its exposure (refer to Note D.6). The Group entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to fix the Australian dollar to US dollar exchange rate in relation to a portion of the Australian dollar denominated capital expenditure incurred or expected to be incurred under the Scarborough development (refer to Note D.6). Through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts, the Group managed its Australian dollar to US dollar exchange rate exposure in relation to the Australian dollar denominated dividend payments. As at the reporting date, the Group held hedging foreign currency financial instruments with a net asset carrying value of $19 million (2024: net liability carrying value of $45 million) exposed to foreign exchange risk. Measuring the exposure to foreign exchange risk is achieved by regularly monitoring and performing sensitivity analysis on the Group's financial position. A reasonably possible change in the exchange rate of the US dollar to the Australian dollar (+7.0%/-7.0% (2024: +10.0%/-10.0%)), with all other variables held constant, would not have a material impact on the Group's equity or the income statement. Refer to Notes C.1, C.2, D.2, D.4 and D.7 for details of the denominations of cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing liabilities, receivables, payables and lease liabilities held at 31 December 2025.

Deferred taxes Deferred tax expense represents movements in the temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the consolidated statement of financial position and its tax base. With the exception of those noted below, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and tax credits only if it is probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither accounting profit nor the taxable profit. In relation to PRRT, the impact of future augmentation on expenditure is included in the determination of future taxable profits when assessing the extent to which a deferred tax asset can be recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Amounts are with reference to the total CGU value including goodwill. Impairment and impairment reversals As at 30 June 2025, an impairment indicator was identified on the H2OK Project following the Group's decision to exit the project. Based on management's judgement, the estimated recoverable value of the project's inventory and property, plant and equipment are expected to be less than the carrying value. The estimated recoverable amount was based on third party valuation reports. As a result, an impairment loss before tax of $143 million was recognised in the Corporate segment of Note A.1 for the half-year ended 30 June 2025. No other impairment or impairment reversal was recognised in the current year. Recoverable amounts have been determined using the FVLCD method using discounted cash flow projections, classified as Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount of each CGU includes all assets allocated to the respective CGU. Refer to significant estimates and judgements for further details. Sensitivity analysis for CGUs with goodwill Recoverable amount valuations are sensitive to changes in certain significant accounting estimates and judgements (refer to significant estimates and judgements for further details). Reasonably possible changes to these key assumptions are set out below: • Post-tax discount rate – plus or minus 1% (representing a change of 100 basis points) • Commodity pricing – plus or minus 10% The valuations of CGUs with goodwill are most sensitive to changes in forecast commodity prices and discount rates. Reasonably possible changes in these estimates which could result in the estimated recoverable amount being equal to the carrying amount, assuming all other variables are held constant, are as follows: 1 Decrease in commodity price Increase in post-tax discount rate CGU % change (absolute terms) Atlantis (2.8%) 0.9% 2 Beaumont New Ammonia (4.4%) N/A Mad Dog <0.0% >0.0% 1. WTI price, which applies to Atlantis and Mad Dog, has a $5 to $6/bbl differential from Brent. Ammonia prices apply to Beaumont New Ammonia. 2. Management considers there to be no reasonably possible change in the respective estimate which, in isolation, would result in the estimated recoverable amount being equal to the carrying amount. A change in any of the above assumptions would have an impact on other assumptions which when considered together may offset. This does not incorporate decisions management may take in order to mitigate the change in assumptions. Management considers there to be no reasonably possible changes in production volumes that would, in isolation, result in the estimated recoverable amount being equal to the carrying amount. Analysis of key assumptions which could result in the carrying value to equal the recoverable value provides a basis to assess the magnitude of a reasonably possible change to the carrying amounts of respective CGUs.

Woodside continues to monitor the uncertainty around climate change risks and will revise carbon pricing assumptions accordingly. Refer to the Climate change and energy transition section within the basis of preparation for further information. • LNG price – the majority of LNG sales contracts are linked to an oil price marker and therefore dependent on oil price assumptions. LNG sold into spot markets is typically based on a gas-hub linked price (for example the Title Transfer Facility (TTF) or JKM) and therefore these pricing assumptions are also of relevance in forecasting future revenues.

Refer to Note B.5 for details on business combination and Note B.7 for details on asset acquisitions. Recognition and measurement Goodwill is initially measured at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's CGUs or groups of CGUs no larger than an operating segment that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Where goodwill has been allocated to a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill is not amortised but will be assessed at least annually for impairment and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The contract assets were acquired as part of a business combination and represent the difference in contract pricing and market prices, adjusted for time value of money. The contracts are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date and are subsequently amortised over 30 years (2024: 6 months to 17 years). Software is recognised at historical cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. All software costs are amortised over the useful life of 5–15 years on a straight-line basis. Significant estimates and judgements (a) Goodwill allocation Judgement is required in the allocation of goodwill to the Group's CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Refer to Note B.4 for the details of the goodwill allocation. (b) Contract assets In determining the fair value of the contract assets as part of a business combination, estimates are made regarding the pricing assumptions and discount rate. These estimates require management judgement and changes in economic conditions can impact the fair value assessment of the contracts.

OVERVIEW STRATEGY AND OUR BUSINESS GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 211 I FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE N Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 C. Debt and capital IN THIS SECTION This section addresses cash, debt and the capital position of the Group at the end of the reporting period including, where applicable, the accounting policies applied and the significant estimates and judgements made. C. Debt and capital C.1 Cash and cash equivalents Page 212 C.2 Interest-bearing liabilities and financing facilities Page 212 C.3 Contributed equity Page 215 C.4 Other reserves Page 215 KEY FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RISKS IN THIS SECTION Capital risk management Group Treasury is responsible for the Group's capital management including cash, debt and equity. Capital management is undertaken to ensure that a secure, cost-effective and flexible supply of funds is available to meet the Group's operating and capital expenditure requirements. A stable capital base is maintained from which the Group can pursue its growth aspirations, whilst maintaining a flexible capital structure that allows access to a range of debt and equity markets to both draw upon and repay capital. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in 2003 for activation as required to fund future growth. The DRP was reactivated in 2019 and suspended by the Board of Directors on 27 February 2023. A range of financial metrics are monitored, including gearing and cash flow leverage, and Treasury policy breaches and exceptions. Liquidity risk management Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of the Group and the Group's subsequent ability to meet its obligations to repay financial liabilities as and when they fall due. The liquidity position of the Group is managed to ensure sufficient liquid funds are available to meet its financial commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner. The Group's liquidity is continually reviewed, including cash flow forecasts to determine the forecast liquidity position and maintain appropriate liquidity levels. The Group's primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, net cash from operating activities, unused borrowing capacity under its bilateral facilities and syndicated facilities, issuances of debt or equity securities and other potential sources of liquidity, such as sales of assets or equity interests in assets. At 31 December 2025, the Group had a total of $9,262 million (2024: $6,723 million) of available undrawn facilities and cash at its disposal. The maturity profile of interest-bearing liabilities is disclosed in Note C.2, trade and other payables are disclosed in Note D.4 and lease liabilities are disclosed in Note D.7. Financing facilities available to the Group are disclosed in Note C.2. Capital commitments contracted for, but not provided for in the financial statements, are disclosed in Note B.3. Interest rate risk management Interest rate risk is the risk that the Group's financial position will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to financial instruments with floating interest rates including long-term debt obligations, cash and short-term deposits. The Group manages its interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate debt. To manage the ratio of fixed rate debt to floating rate debt, the Group may enter into interest rate swaps. The Group holds interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the $600 million syndicated facility. Refer to Notes C.2 and D.6 for further details. At the reporting date, the Group was exposed to various benchmark interest rates that were not designated in cash flow hedges, primarily through $5,712 million (2024: $3,923 million) on cash and cash equivalents and $2,650 million (2024: $3,150 million) on interest-bearing liabilities (excluding transaction costs). A reasonably possible change in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) (+2.0%/-2.0% (2024: +2.0%/-2.0%)), with all variables held constant, would not have a material impact (2024: no material impact) on the Group's equity or the income statement in the current period.

Credit risk arises from the financial instruments of the Group, which include trade and other receivables, loans receivables and deposits with banks and financial institutions. The Group manages its credit risk on trade receivables and financial instruments by predominantly dealing with counterparties with an investment grade credit rating. Sufficient financial security is obtained to mitigate the risk of financial loss when transacting with counterparties with below investment grade credit ratings. Customers who wish to trade on unsecured credit terms are subject to credit assessment procedures. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. As a result, the Group's exposure to credit loss is not significant. The Group's maximum credit exposure is limited to the carrying amount of its financial assets. Customer credit risk is managed by the Treasury function subject to the Group's established policy, procedures and controls relating to customer credit risk management. The credit quality of a customer is assessed based on various credit metrics, including its credit rating, and individual credit limits and requirements are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. At 31 December 2025, the Group had 20 customers (2024: 23 customers) that owed the Group more than $10 million each and accounted for approximately 90% (2024: 88%) of product-related trade receivables. Depending on the product, standard settlement terms are 7 to 30 days from the date of invoice or bill of lading. The Group considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of the asset and whether there has been a significant depreciation in credit quality on an ongoing basis. A significant decrease in credit quality is defined as a debtor being greater than 30 days past due in making a contractual payment. Credit losses for trade receivables (including lease receivables) and contract assets are determined by applying the simplified approach and are measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected loss. Under the simplified approach, determination of the loss allowance provision and expected loss rate incorporates past experience and forward-looking information, including the outlook for market demand and forward-looking interest rates. A default on other financial assets is considered to be when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 60 days of when they fall due. At 31 December 2025, the Group had a provision for credit losses of nil(2024: nil). Subsequent to 31 December 2025, 99%(2024: 96%) of product-related trade receivables balance of $948 million (2024: $972 million) has been received. Credit risk from balances with banks is managed by the Treasury function in accordance with the Group's policy. The Group places funds from time to time as short-term deposits with reputable financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. At 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group and financial instruments are spread amongst a number of financial institutions to minimise the risk of counterparty default. The maximum exposure to financial institution credit risk is represented by the sum of all cash deposits plus accrued interest, bank account balances and fair value of derivative assets. The Group's counterparty credit policy limits this exposure to commercial and investment banks, according to approved credit limits based on the counterparty's credit rating.

OVERVIEW STRATEGY AND OUR BUSINESS GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 249 I FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE N Standardised measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves (standardised measure) The following tables set out the standardised measure of discounted future net cash flows, and changes therein, related to the Group's estimated proved reserves as presented in the Reserves and Resources Statement, and should be read in conjunction with that disclosure. The analysis is prepared in compliance with FASB Oil and Gas Disclosure requirements, applying certain prescribed assumptions under Topic 932 including the use of unweighted average first-day-of-the-month prices for the previous 12-months, year-end cost factors, currently enacted tax rates and an annual discount factor of 10% to year-end quantities of net proved reserves. Certain key assumptions prescribed under Topic 932 are arbitrary in nature and may not prove to be accurate. The reserve estimates on which the standardised measure is based are subject to revision as further technical information becomes available or economic conditions change. Discounted future net cash flows like those shown below are not intended to represent estimates of fair value. An estimate of fair value would also take into account, among other things, the expected recovery of reserves in excess of proved reserves, anticipated future changes in commodity prices, exchange rates, development and production costs as well as alternative discount factors representing the time value of money and adjustments for risk inherent in producing oil and gas.

Accounting for suspended exploratory well costs Expenditure on exploration and evaluation is accounted for in accordance with the area of interest method. Areas of interest are based on a geographical area for which the rights of tenure are current. All exploration and evaluation expenditure, including general permit activity, geological and geophysical costs, and new venture activity costs is expensed as incurred except for the following: • where the expenditure relates to an exploration discovery for which the assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable hydrocarbons is not yet complete; or • where the expenditure is expected to be recouped through successful exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale. The costs of acquiring interests in new exploration and evaluation licences are capitalised. The costs of drilling exploration wells are initially capitalised pending the results of the well. Costs are expensed where the well does not result in the successful discovery of economically recoverable hydrocarbons and the recognition of an area of interest. Subsequent to the recognition of an area of interest, all further evaluation costs relating to that area of interest are capitalised. Upon approval for the commercial development of an area of interest, accumulated expenditure for the area of interest is transferred to property, plant and equipment. In the consolidated statement of cash flows, those cash flows associated with capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure, including unsuccessful wells, are classified as cash flows used in investing activities.

International includes United States and Egypt. 2. International includes United States, Senegal, Egypt and Republic of the Congo. 3. International is primarily United States and Trinidad and Tobago. As set out in this section, the number of wells drilled refers to the number of wells completed at any time during the respective year, regardless of when drilling was initiated. Completion refers to the installation of permanent equipment for production of oil or gas, or, in the case of a dry well, to reporting to the appropriate authority that the well has been abandoned. An exploratory well is a well drilled to find oil or gas in a new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas in another reservoir. A development well is a well drilled within the limits of a known oil or gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive. A productive well is an exploratory, development or extension well that is not a dry well. Productive wells include wells in which hydrocarbons were encountered and the drilling or completion of which, in the case of exploratory wells, has been suspended pending further drilling or evaluation. A dry well (hole) is an exploratory, development or extension well that proves to be incapable of producing either oil or gas in sufficient quantities to justify completion as an oil or gas well. During 2025, productive development wells in Australia included the Lambert West well at the North West Shelf, a development well in the Julimar Phase 3 Project, a Pluto infill well and one well at Bass Strait. Productive development wells in International included two Mad Dog Southwest Extension wells and two Atlantis development wells Exploratory wells in Australia included two near field opportunities drilled as part of the Julimar Phase 3 Project. Exploratory wells in international included a dry exploration well offshore Egypt.

258 Woodside Energy Annual Report 2025 6.3 Additional disclosures Oil and gas properties, wells, operations and acreage The following tables show the number of gross and net productive crude oil and natural gas wells as well as total gross and net developed and undeveloped oil and natural gas acreage as at 31 December 2025. A gross well or acre is one in which a working interest is owned, while a net well or acre exists when the sum of fractional working interests owned in gross wells or acres equals one. Productive wells are producing wells and wells mechanically capable of production. Developed acreage comprises leased acres that are within an area by or assignable to a productive well. Undeveloped acreage comprises leased acres on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of economic quantities of oil and gas, regardless of whether such acres contain proved reserves. The number of productive crude oil and natural gas wells in which Woodside held an interest at 31 December 2025 was as follows: Crude oil wells Natural gas wells Total Gross Net Gross Net Gross Net Australia 44.0 26.7 146.0 66.7 190.0 93.4 1 International 89.0 44.5 0.0 0.0 89.0 44.5 Total 133.0 71.2 146.0 66.7 279.0 137.9 Small differences are due to rounding 1. International is primarily the United States and Senegal. Of the productive crude oil and natural gas wells, 89 (net: 40) wells had multiple completions. The number of wells with multiple completions refers to wells that have downhole equipment installed that allows zonal insolation or controlled commingling of production as permitted and approved by the applicable regulator. Developed and undeveloped acreage (including both leases and concessions) held at 31 December 2025 is shown in this table. Developed acreage Undeveloped acreage Thousands of acres Gross Net Gross Net Australia 2,441 1,217 1,740 1,135 United States 98 45 276 190 1,2 Other International 176 144 9,290 4,162 2,715 1,406 11,306 5,487 1.

Undeveloped acreage in Other International primarily consists of Myanmar (~60%), Egypt (~20%) and Barbados, Republic of the Congo, Ireland, Timor-Leste, Canada and Trinidad and Tobago. Woodside has initiated exits from our Myanmar, Ireland and Barbados positions, totalling approximately 5,820 thousand acres gross (2,874 thousand acres net). Approximately 329 thousand acres gross (121 thousand acres net), 284 thousand acres gross (186 thousand acres net) and 201 thousand acres gross, (192 thousand acres net) of undeveloped acreage will expire in the years ending 31 December 2026, 2027 and 2028 respectively if Woodside does not establish production or take any other action to extend the terms of the licenses and concessions. There are no proved undeveloped reserves associated with the near-term expiring acreage. Delivery commitments Woodside has contracts that require delivery of fixed volumes of crude oil, condensate, natural gas and NGL. Woodside intends to fulfil its short-term and long-term obligations with its production or from purchases of third-party volumes. As of 31 December 2025, delivery commitments were as follows: Natural gas (MMboe) Crude oil (MMbbl) Condensate (MMbbl) NGLs (MMbbl) Year ended 31 December 2026 to 2030 441.6 9.1 1.9 2.6 Thereafter 574.8 — — — Total oil and gas delivery commitments 1,016.4 9.1 1.9 2.6

Those circumstances may also adversely impact Woodside's ability to finance planned capital expenditures, including development projects, and may change the economics of operating certain wells, which could result in a reduction in the volume of Woodside's reserves. Declines in crude oil, LNG and natural gas prices, especially sustained declines, may also reduce the amount of oil and gas that we can produce economically, reduce the economic viability of planned projects or assets that we plan to acquire or have acquired, and may reduce the expected value and the potential commerciality of exploration and appraisal assets. Those reductions may result in substantial downward adjustments to Woodside's estimated proved reserves and require additional write-downs of the value of its property, plant and equipment.

**WOODSIDE RELEASES FULL-YEAR 2025 RESULTS** 

Woodside today reported record production of 198.8 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe), or 545 Mboe/day, for the full year 2025. The result was underpinned by outstanding production performance at Sangomar, producing at nameplate capacity for most of the year, and world-class reliability at our operated Pluto LNG and NWS Project assets.

Record production offset lower realised prices resulting in net profit after tax (NPAT) of $2,718 million (24% lower from 2024) and underlying NPAT of $2,649 million (8% lower from 2024).<sup>1</sup>

The Directors have determined a final dividend of US 59 cents per share (cps), which brings the full-year fully franked dividend to US 112 cps and maintains payout ratio at the top of the range at 80%. The value of the full-year dividend is $2.1 billion.

Woodside Acting CEO Liz Westcott said the record annual production in 2025 exceeded the guidance range and unit production cost decreased 4% from 2024 to $7.8 per barrel of oil equivalent, demonstrating cost discipline.

"The outstanding full-year results reflected the disciplined execution of Woodside's strategy, while maintaining safe, reliable and sustainable operations. Our strong underlying NPAT of $2.6 billion and free cashflow1 of $1.9 billion is a testament to the performance of the base business during a period of increased capital expenditure and softening prices.

"The strength of our base business has delivered returns for shareholders, with Woodside having returned approximately $11 billion in dividends since merger completion in 2022. At the same time, we are re-investing in the business and actively refining the portfolio, while maintaining a strong balance sheet and gearing within the targeted range.

"Keeping our people safe is always Woodside's priority and in a year of increased activity, no high-consequence injuries were recorded. We marked significant safety milestones across our global portfolio, with Sangomar recording no injuries in its first 18 months of operations, and the Scarborough floating production unit marking three years of work without a single lost-time incident.

"We are delivering on our commitments by leveraging our proven operational excellence, demonstrated project execution and delivery and continued financial discipline to reward shareholders today, while positioning Woodside for future value and growth.

"Sangomar produced at nameplate capacity of 100,000 barrels per day for most of 2025 at almost 99% reliability. This translated into $2.6 billion of EBITDA (Woodside share) generated since start-up, demonstrating the asset's value.<sup>1</sup>,<sup>2</sup>

<sup>1</sup> Non-IFRS financial measure. Refer to the glossary section of the attached presentation for the definition.

<sup>2</sup> Consists of Sangomar FY2024 EBITDA of $849 million and FY2025 EBITDA of $1,702 million.

"A high point of 2025 was the final investment decision taken in April on the $17.5 billion three-train, 16.5 million tonne per annum foundation Louisiana LNG project, which was 22% complete at year-end and on target for first LNG in 2029.

"Louisiana LNG's value proposition was reinforced during the year by the entry of two high-quality partners, with Stonepeak taking a 40% stake in Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC and Williams acquiring 10% of Louisiana LNG LLC and 80% of Driftwood Pipeline LLC. These transactions together reduced Woodside's share of capital expenditure for Louisiana LNG to $9.9 billion, with Stonepeak contributing 75% of capital expenditure in 2025 and 2026. Discussions are ongoing for the potential sale of up to a further 20% of Louisiana LNG LLC.

"During the year, Woodside's other major cash-generative growth projects progressed to budget and schedule, highlighted by the progress at the Scarborough Energy Project. Scarborough was 94% complete at year-end with the floating production unit arriving on location in Australia in January 2026. Scarborough is on track for first LNG cargo in the fourth quarter of 2026.

"Once operational, Scarborough gas and output from Louisiana LNG will help meet long-term energy demand, as evidenced by the six sales agreements for portfolio supply that Woodside signed in 2025 with buyers in Asia and Europe. These agreements demonstrate the ongoing role of LNG in balancing our customers' energy security and decarbonisation needs.

"Trion remains on target for first oil in 2028, with the project 50% complete at year end. In 2025 we advanced construction of both the floating production unit and floating storage and offloading unit, with major subsea work set to start this year.

"In December 2025 we achieved first production at Beaumont New Ammonia, and we have secured offtake agreements at prevailing market prices for traditional ammonia. We expect full handover of the project by OCI in the first half of 2026, with production of lower-carbon ammonia targeted for the second half of this year.<sup>3</sup>

As detailed in the Annual Report released today, we have achieved our 2025 net equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of 15% below the starting base. This was achieved through a combination of underlying emissions performance at our facilities and the use of carbon credits. Importantly, our gross equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions were fewer than 2024, despite higher oil and gas production.

"Woodside's objectives for 2026 are clear: ramp up Beaumont; deliver first LNG cargo from Scarborough; and continue progressing Louisiana LNG and Trion to schedule and budget. We will remain focused on creating long-term value through disciplined capital allocation, maintaining strong liquidity and actively managing the portfolio."

<sup>3</sup> Production of lower-carbon ammonia is conditional on supply of carbon abated hydrogen and ExxonMobil's CCS facility becoming operational.

Woodside reports its Proved (1P) Reserves in accordance with SEC regulations, which are also compliant with SPE-PRMS guidelines, and prepares and reports its Proved plus Probable (2P) Reserves and Best Estimate (2C) Contingent Resources in accordance with SPE-PRMS guidelines. Woodside reports all of its petroleum resource estimates using definitions consistent with SPE-PRMS. The SEC prohibits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, from disclosing estimates of oil or gas resources other than 'reserves' (as that term is defined by the SEC). In this presentation, Woodside includes estimates of quantities of oil and gas using certain terms, such as 'proved plus probable (2P) reserves', 'best estimate (2C) contingent resources', 'reserves and contingent resources', 'proved plus probable', 'developed and undeveloped', 'probable developed', 'probable undeveloped', 'contingent resources' or other descriptions of volumes of reserves, which include quantities of oil and gas that may not meet the SEC's definitions of proved, probable and possible reserves, and which the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit Woodside from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and would require substantial capital spending over a significant number of years to implement recovery, and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of not being recovered by Woodside. In addition, actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from Woodside's properties may differ substantially. Woodside has made no commitment to drill, and likely will not drill, all drilling locations that have been attributable to these quantities. US investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures in Woodside's filings with the SEC which are available at www.sec.gov. Assumptions Unless otherwise indicated, the targets set out in this presentation have been estimated on the basis of a variety of economic assumptions including: (1) US$70/bbl Brent long-term oil price, US$10/MMBtu long term JKM price, US$9/MMBtu long-term TTF price, US$3.50 long-term Henry Hub price (2024 real terms) and a long-term inflation rate of 2.0%; (2) currently sanctioned projects being delivered in accordance with their current project schedules; and (3) applicable growth opportunities being sanctioned and delivered in accordance with the target schedules provided in this presentation. These growth opportunities are subject to relevant project participant approvals, commercial arrangements with third parties and regulatory approvals being obtained in the timeframe contemplated or at all. Woodside expresses no view as to whether project participants will agree with and support Woodside's current position in relation to these opportunities, or such commercial arrangements and regulatory approvals will be obtained. Additional assumptions relevant to particular targets or other statements in this presentation may be set out in the relevant slides. Any such additional assumptions are in addition to the assumptions and qualifications applicable to the presentation as a whole. Climate strategy and emissions data All greenhouse gas emissions data in this presentation are estimates, due to the inherent uncertainty and limitations in measuring or quantifying greenhouse gas emissions. Methodologies for measuring or quantifying greenhouse gas emissions may evolve as best practices continue to develop and data quality and quantity continue to improve. Woodside "greenhouse gas" or "emissions" information reported are Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions, Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, and/or Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, each on a net equity basis, unless otherwise stated. For more information on Woodside's strategy and performance, including further details regarding Woodside's targets, aspirations and goals and the underlying methodology, judgements, assumptions and contingencies, refer to Woodside's 2025 Climate and Sustainability Summary, available on the Woodside website at https://www.woodside.com/sustainability and section 3.6 of Woodside's 2025 Annual Report. The glossary and footnotes to this presentation provide clarification regarding the use of terms such as "lower-carbon" under Woodside's strategy. A full glossary of terms used in connection with Woodside's strategy is contained in Woodside's 2025 Annual Report. Non-IFRS Financial Measures Throughout this presentation, a range of financial and non-financial measures are used to assess Woodside's performance, including a number of financial measures that are not defined in, and have not been prepared in accordance with, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are not recognised measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS (Non-IFRS Financial Measures). These measures include EBIT, EBITDA, EBITDA excluding impairment, EBITDA margin, Gearing, Underlying NPAT, Average realised price, Unit production cost, Net debt, Liquidity, Free cash flow, Capital expenditure, Exploration expenditure, Return on Equity, Cash margin, Production cost margin, and Other cash cost margin. These Non-IFRS Financial Measures are defined in the glossary section of this presentation. A quantitative reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS can be found in the Alternative Performance Measures section of Woodside's 2025 Annual Report. Woodside's management uses these measures to monitor Woodside's financial performance alongside IFRS measures to improve the comparability of information between reporting periods and business units and Woodside believes that the Non-IFRS Financial Measures it presents provide a useful means through which to examine the underlying performance of its business. Undue reliance should not be placed on the Non-IFRS Financial Measures contained in this presentation and these Non-IFRS Financial Measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance, financial position or cash flows reported in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS Financial Measures are not uniformly defined by all companies, including those in Woodside's industry. Accordingly, they may not be comparable with similarly titled measures and disclosures by other companies. Other important information All references to dollars, cents or $ in this presentation are to US currency, unless otherwise stated. References to "Woodside" may be references to Woodside Energy Group Ltd and/or its applicable subsidiaries (as the context requires). References and links to Woodside's or third-party websites are provided for convenience only and are not incorporated by reference into this presentation. This presentation does not include any express or implied prices at which Woodside will buy or sell financial products. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

Notes to petroleum reserves and resources Unless otherwise stated, all petroleum resource estimates are quoted as at the effective date of 31 December 2025, net Woodside share. For details of Woodside's year end 2025 reserves position, see the Reserves and Resources Statement included in the 2025 Annual Report. US Investors should refer to "Additional information for US investors concerning reserves and resources estimates" above. All numbers are internal estimates produced by Woodside. Estimates of reserves and contingent resources should be regarded only as estimates that may change over time as additional information becomes available. For offshore oil projects, the reference point is defined as the outlet of the floating production storage and offloading facility (FPSO) or platform, while for the onshore gas projects the reference point is defined as the outlet of the downstream (onshore) gas processing facility. 'Reserves' are estimated quantities of petroleum that have been demonstrated to be producible from known accumulations in which the company has a material interest from a given date forward, at commercial rates, under presently anticipated production methods, operating conditions, prices, and costs. Woodside reports reserves inclusive of all fuel consumed in operations. Proved reserves are estimated and reported in accordance with SEC regulations which are also compliant with the SPE-PRMS guidelines. SEC-compliant proved reserves estimates use a more restrictive, rules-based approach and are generally lower than estimates prepared solely in accordance with SPE-PRMS guidelines due to, among other things, the requirement to use commodity prices based on the average of first of month prices during the 12-month period in the reporting company's fiscal year. Proved plus probable reserves are estimated and reported in accordance with SPE-PRMS guidelines which are not compliant with SEC regulations. Assessment of the economic value in support of an SPE-PRMS reserves and resources classification, uses Woodside Portfolio Economic Assumptions (Woodside PEAs). The Woodside PEAs are reviewed on an annual basis, or more often if required. The review is based on historical data and forecast estimates for economic variables such as product prices and exchange rates. The Woodside PEAs are approved by the Woodside Board. Specific contractual arrangements for individual projects are also taken into account. Woodside is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the Reserves and Resources Update. All the material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the Reserves and Resources Update continue to apply and have not materially changed. Woodside uses both deterministic and probabilistic methods for the estimation of reserves and contingent resources at the field and project levels. All proved reserves estimates have been estimated using deterministic methods and reported on a net interest basis in accordance with the SEC regulations and have been determined in accordance with SEC Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X. Unless otherwise stated, all petroleum estimates reported at the company or region level are aggregated by arithmetic summation by category. The aggregated proved reserves may be a conservative estimate due to the portfolio effects of arithmetic summation. 'MMboe' means millions (106) of barrels of oil equivalent. Natural gas volumes are converted to oil equivalent volumes via a constant conversion factor, which for Woodside is 5.7 Bcf of dry gas per 1 MMboe. All volumes are reported at standard oilfield conditions of 14.696 psi (101.325 kPa) and 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.56 degrees Celsius). 'Proved reserves' are those quantities of crude oil, condensate, natural gas and NGLs that, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, operating contracts, and government regulations. Proved reserves are estimated and reported on a net interest basis in accordance with the SEC regulations and have been determined in accordance with SEC Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X. 'Undeveloped reserves' are those reserves for which wells and facilities have not been installed or executed but are expected to be recovered through future significant investments. 'Probable reserves' are those reserves which analysis of geological and engineering data suggests are more likely than not to be recoverable. Proved plus probable reserves represent the best estimate of recoverable quantities. Where probabilistic methods are used, there is at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves. Proved plus probable reserves are estimated and reported in accordance with SPE-PRMS guidelines and are not compliant with SEC regulations. The estimates of petroleum reserves and contingent resources are based on and fairly represent information and supporting documentation prepared by, or under the supervision of, Mr Benjamin Ziker, Woodside's Vice President Reserves and Subsurface, who is a full-time employee of the company and a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. The reserves and resources estimates included in this announcement are issued with the prior written consent of Mr Ziker. Mr Ziker's qualifications include a Bachelor of Science (Chemical Engineering) from Rice University (Houston, Texas, USA) and 27 years of relevant experience.

Gearing Net debt divided by net debt and equity attributable to the equity holders of the parent GHG or greenhouse gas The seven greenhouse gases listed in the Kyoto Protocol are: carbon dioxide (CO2); methane (CH4); nitrous oxide (N2O); hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs); nitrogen trifluoride (NF3); perfluorocarbons (PFCs); and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)1 Goal Woodside uses this term to broadly encompass its targets and aspirations High Consequence Injury or HCI A high-consequence injury is a work-related injury that results in a fatality or permanent impairment injury2 Woodside's definition for HCI has changed in 2025 to align with the IOGP Fatality and Permanent Impairment definition. This definition was adopted to focus attention on the highest risks to people. In the previous reporting period, the HCI definition included long-term disabling injuries (i.e where the person will make a full recovery, but recovery exceeds 180 days) in HCI statistics which focused disproportionate effort towards injury management, access to treatment and privacy issues HSE Health, safety and environment IFRS International Financial Reporting Standards Investing cash flow Cash flow from investing activities IRR or Internal rate of return Internal rate of return. IRR is calculated as the rate of return required for Woodside's share of after-tax project cashflows that deliver an NPV of zero JCC The Japan customs-cleared crude is the average price of customs-cleared crude oil imports into Japan as reported in customs statistics (also known as 'Japanese crude cocktail') and is used as a reference price for long-term supply LNG contracts JKM Japan Korea Marker is the North-east Asian spot price index for LNG delivered ex-ship to Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan JV Joint venture KGP Karratha Gas Plant Liquidity Total cash and cash equivalents and available undrawn debt facilities LNG Liquefied natural gas Lower-carbon Woodside uses this term to describe the characteristic of having lower levels of associated potential GHG emissions when compared to historical and/or current conventions or analogues, for example relating to an otherwise similar resource, process, production facility, product or service, or activity. When applied to Woodside's strategy, please see the definition of lower-carbon portfolio Lower-carbon ammonia Lower-carbon ammonia is characterized here by the use of hydrogen with emissions abated by carbon capture and storage (CCS), with an expected ammonia lifecycle (Scope 1, 2 and 3) carbon emissions intensity of 0.8 tCO2/tNH3 (based on contracted intensity threshold with Linde) relative to unabated ammonia with a lifecycle (Scope 1, 2 and 3) carbon emissions intensity of 2.3 tCO2/tNH3 (Hydrogen Europe, 2023) Lower-carbon portfolio For Woodside, a lower-carbon portfolio is one from which the net equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, which includes the use of offsets, are being reduced towards targets, and into which new energy products and lower-carbon services are planned to be introduced as a complement to existing and new investments in oil and gas. Our Climate Policy sets out the principles that we believe will assist us achieve this aim Lower-carbon services Woodside uses this term to describe technologies, such as CCUS or offsets that could be used by customers to reduce their net greenhouse gas emissions MMbbl Million barrels MMBtu Million British thermal units Mtpa, mmtpa Million tonnes per annum MWh Megawatt hour Net debt Interest-bearing liabilities and lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents Net equity greenhouse gas emissions Woodside's equity share of net greenhouse gas emissions which includes the utilisation of carbon credits as offsets Net greenhouse gas emissions Woodside has set its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets on a net basis, allowing for both direct emissions reductions from its operations and emissions reduction achieved from the utilisation of carbon credits as offsets (including credits relating to avoidance, reduction and/or removal activities). Net greenhouse gas emissions are equal to an entity's gross greenhouse gas emissions reduced by the number of retired carbon credits3 Net operating cash flow Net cash from operating activities adjusted to remove non-controlling interest to present net cash attributable to Woodside (i.e. not on a consolidated basis) and the impact of lease repayments. Net zero Net zero emissions are achieved when anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere are balanced by anthropogenic removals over a specified period. Where multiple greenhouse gases are involved, the quantification of net zero emissions depends on the climate metric chosen to compare emissions of different gases (such as global warming potential, global temperature change potential, and others, as well as the chosen time horizon)4 New energy Woodside uses this term to describe energy technologies, such as hydrogen or ammonia, that are emerging in scale but which are expected to grow during the energy transition due to having lower greenhouse gas emissions at the point of use than conventional fossil fuels NGLs Natural gas liquids NPAT Net profit after tax NWS North West Shelf OECD Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development Offsets The compensation for an entity's greenhouse gas emissions within its scope by achieving an equivalent amount of emission reductions or removals outside the boundary or value chain of that entity

Operating cash flow Cash flow from operating activities Operator, Operated and non-operated Oil and gas joint venture participants will typically appoint one company as the operator, which will hold the contractual authority to manage joint venture activities on behalf of the joint venture participants. Where Woodside is the operator of a joint venture in which it holds an equity share, this report refers to that joint venture as being operated. Where another company is the operator of a joint venture in which Woodside holds an equity share, this report refers to that joint venture as being non-operated Other cash cost margin Other cash costs include royalties, excise and levies, insurance, inventory movement, shipping and direct sales costs and other hydrocarbon costs. Excludes the marketing segment. Other cash cost margin % is calculated as other cash costs divided by revenue from sale of hydrocarbons (excluding marketing segment) Permanent Impairment Injury A permanent impairment is defined as the outcome of a work-related2 injury from which the worker cannot or is not expected to return to their previous (pre-incident) whole person function as a result of an acute, single incident, resulting in any of the following :permanent loss of body parts permanent reduction of organ's physiological function permanent reduction in skin and musculoskeletal function1 PJ Petajoules PRRT Petroleum resource rent tax Process safety event (Tier 1 and Tier 2) An unplanned or uncontrolled loss of primary containment (LOPC) of any material including non-toxic and nonflammable materials from a process, or an undesired event or condition. Process safety events are classified as Tier 1 – LOPC of greatest consequence or Tier 2 – LOPC of lesser consequence.

These occur from sources that are owned or controlled by the company, for example, emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers, furnaces, vehicles, etc., emissions from chemical production in owned or controlled process equipment. Woodside estimates greenhouse gas emissions, energy values and global warming potentials are estimated in accordance with the relevant reporting regulations in the jurisdiction where the emissions occur (e.g. Australian national Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (nGER), US EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)). Australian regulatory reporting principles have been used for emissions in jurisdictions where regulations do not yet exist2 Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions Other indirect greenhouse gas emissions. Scope 3 is a reporting category that allows for the treatment of all other indirect emissions. Scope 3 emissions are a consequence of the activities of the company but occur from sources not owned or controlled by the company. Some examples of Scope 3 activities are extraction and production of purchased materials; transportation of purchased fuels; and use of sold products and services. Please refer to the data table on page 72 of the Climate Transition Action Plan and 2023 Progress Report for further information on the Scope 3 emissions categories reported by Woodside2 Starting base The starting base has been adjusted for the merger between Woodside and BHP Group's Petroleum business (completed on 1 June 2022) which increased the starting base from 3.59 Mt CO₂-e to 6.32 Mt CO₂-e and for the divestment of the Greater Angostura assets (completed on 11 July 2025) which subsequently reduced it from 6.32 Mt CO₂-e to 6.27 Mt CO₂-e SURF Subsea, umbilicals, risers and flowlines Sustainability (including sustainable and sustainably) References to sustainability (including sustainable and sustainably) are used with reference to Woodside's Sustainability Committee and sustainability related Board policies, as well as in the context of Woodside's aim to ensure its business is sustainable from a long-term perspective, considering a range of factors including economic (including being able to sustain our business in the long term by being low cost and profitable), environmental (including considering our environmental impact and striving for a lower-carbon portfolio), social (including supporting our license to operate), and regulatory (including ongoing compliance with relevant legal obligations). Use of the terms 'sustainability', 'sustainable' and 'sustainably' is not intended to imply that Woodside will have no adverse impact on the economy, environment, or society, or that Woodside will achieve any particular economic, environmental, or social outcomes Target Woodside uses this term to describe an intention to seek the achievement of an outcome, where Woodside considers that it has developed a suitably defined plan or pathway to achieve that outcome Tier 1 process safety event A typical Tier 1 process safety event is loss of containment of hydrocarbons greater than 500 kg (in any one-hour period) Tier 2 process safety event A typical Tier 2 process safety event is loss of containment of hydrocarbons greater than 50 kg but less than 500 kg (in any one-hour period) TJ/day Terajoules per day TTF Title transfer facility Underlying NPAT Net profit after tax from the Group's operations excluding any exceptional items Unit production cost or UPC Production costs ($ million) divided by production volume (MMboe) US, USA United States of America USD United States dollar Woodside Woodside Energy Group Ltd ACN 004 898 962 or its applicable subsidiaries

**FULL-YEAR 2025 RESULTS BRIEFING TRANSCRIPT** 

**Date:** 24 February 2026

**Time:** 07:00 AWST/10:00 AEDT (17:00 CST on Monday, 23 February 2026)

**Start of Transcript** 

**Liz Westcott:** Good morning and welcome to Woodside's 2025 full-year results presentation.

We are presenting from Sydney, and I would like to begin by acknowledging the traditional custodians of this land, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation and pay my respects to their Elders past and present.

Today I am joined on the call by our Chief Financial Officer, Graham Tiver. Together, we will provide an overview of our full-year 2025 performance before opening up to Q&A.

Please take time to read the disclaimers, assumptions and other important information.

And I'd like to remind you that all dollar figures in today's presentation are in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.

I am very pleased to present an outstanding set of full-year results today, which highlight the disciplined execution of our strategy throughout 2025.

We delivered on our commitments, leveraging our track record of operational excellence, world-class project execution and financial discipline, to reward our shareholders today, while positioning Woodside for future value and growth.

In 2025, we achieved record annual production of 198.8 million barrels of oil equivalent, exceeding our full-year guidance range. This was driven by the exceptional performance at Sangomar and world-class reliability across our operating portfolio.

We progressed major cash-generative growth projects to budget and schedule, including excellent progress on our Scarborough Energy Project, which was 94% complete at year-end and remains on track for first LNG cargo in the fourth quarter of 2026.

We recorded strong underlying net profit after tax of $2.6 billion where record production offset lower realised prices when compared to full-year 2024 underlying net profit after tax. Based on this, I'm pleased to report our Board has determined a final dividend of 59 US cents per share. This brings our total fully franked full-year dividend to 112 US cents per share. This represents a payout ratio of 80% of underlying NPAT, which is once again at the top end of our [Clarification: target] range.

------

Additionally, in a testament to the strength of our underlying business during a period of increased capital expenditure and softer prices, we generated free cash flow of $1.9 billion. We achieved this while continuing to invest in the next phase of value-accretive growth.

We demonstrated strong sustainability performance, achieving our 2025 target of a 15% reduction in net equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions below our starting base.

Turning to slide 6. As outlined at our Capital Markets Day in November, we are delivering our strategy to thrive through the energy transition. Our strategy and approach remains unchanged, our priorities are clear, and we remain firmly focused on disciplined execution to deliver long-term value.

We are doing this by maximising performance from our base business, delivering cash-generative projects, and creating future opportunities for value. In 2025 we delivered across each of these areas.

We combined record production with increased efficiency, reducing our unit production cost to $7.80 per barrel of oil equivalent.

We achieved first production at Beaumont New Ammonia, and achieved significant milestones in the delivery of our Scarborough and Trion Projects.

We took a final investment decision to develop the three-train, 16.5 million tonne per annum Louisiana LNG Project. This game changing investment positions Woodside as a global LNG powerhouse, with greater capacity to meet growing energy demand.

We also welcomed high-quality strategic partners to Louisiana LNG, with Woodside's expected share of total capital expenditure now less than 60%. One of these partners, Stonepeak, is funding 75% of 2025 and 2026 project capital expenditure.

We continued to actively refine our portfolio, including divestment of our Greater Angostura assets, receiving $259 million in cash.

And all of this was achieved while maintaining a strong balance sheet and liquidity position, with gearing within our target range.

Keeping our people safe remains our top priority.

During a year of increased activity, we delivered strong safety performance with no high-consequence injuries recorded.

We marked significant safety milestones across our global portfolio, with no recordable injuries at our Sangomar project in its first 18 months of operations, and construction of our Scarborough floating production unit marking three years of work without a single lost-time incident.

These achievements set the required standard for Woodside as we embed focus on safety, drive safety field leadership, and a culture of continuous learning across our global business.

------

To slide 8. In 2025, we once again showcased Woodside's world-class operational capabilities by delivering reliable energy to customers, while driving continuous improvement through cost discipline and efficiency.

We have increased production from our growing global portfolio and maintaining operated LNG reliability of approximately 98% over the past five years, which compares exceptionally well against our global peers.

This year we've delivered a 4% reduction in unit production costs through disciplined cost management across the business, while continuing to maximise value from our assets through brownfield developments, portfolio optimisation and leveraging our marketing expertise to capture additional value.

In 2026 we will execute major turnarounds to maximise longevity at existing assets and support ramp-up of new production, including at Pluto LNG in preparation for Scarborough start-up. We will also undertake drydock maintenance for some of our Australian oil assets.

Let's now turn to Sangomar on slide 9. During 2025, operational performance continued to be exceptional, with nameplate production of 100,000 barrels per day for most of the year at almost 99% reliability. This has contributed $2.6 billion to Woodside's EBITDA since start-up, demonstrating Sangomar's value to our business.

Based on strong early performance, we will be assessing options for a potential Phase 2, which would leverage the existing FPSO and the subsea infrastructure to unlock additional value.

In December 2025, our Beaumont New Ammonia Project commenced production of first ammonia.

We expect full handover of the project by OCI in the first half of 2026. The production of lower-carbon ammonia, which will be made possible by the supply of carbon abated hydrogen and ExxonMobil's CCS facility becoming operational, is currently targeted for the second half of 2026.

Pleasingly we have seen strong early customer uptake from Beaumont, securing offtake agreements with leading global customers to supply conventional ammonia from the facility.

These contracts reflect prevailing market prices, and we are now advancing additional agreements to align with expected future output, including for lower-carbon ammonia.

In 2025, we continued to make excellent progress at our Scarborough Energy Project, which was 94% complete at year-end and on track for first LNG cargo in the fourth quarter of this year.

Major milestones included the assembly, and subsequent to the period, safe arrival of the floating production unit at the Scarborough field.

The drilling campaign for all eight development wells was successfully completed, in line with pre-drill expectations.

During the period, we completed the tie-in to the Pluto domestic gas export line as construction activities at Pluto Train 2 continued.

We also commissioned the Integrated Remote Operations Centre at our Perth headquarters, enabling Pluto and Scarborough to be operated remotely from more than 1,500 kilometres away. Moving to Trion on slide 12. We are targeting first oil in 2028, with the project 50% complete at year-end.

During the year, we advanced construction of both the floating production unit and floating storage and offloading unit, with major field activity set to start in 2026.

------

The image shown on the slide, taken this month, is the lifting of the first of three modules onto the hull of the FPU.

Preparations for the drilling and completion campaign also progressed, with the deepwater drillship expected to commence drilling in early 2026.

Following FID in April, we have maintained strong momentum on our Louisiana LNG project. As outlined on slide 13, the project was 22% complete at year-end and is targeting first LNG in 2029.

Key ongoing activities in 2025 included the construction of LNG tanks, soil excavation, pile installation for the main marine berth, and the establishment of material offloading facilities.

We have now secured foundational transportation capacity, a key milestone in providing access to diverse and abundant supply sources. In support of feed gas supply, we also entered into a long-term agreement with bp for the supply of up to 640 billion cubic feet of natural gas to the project, starting in 2029. We will continue to layer in agreements like this, ensuring access to multiple supply sources. The project's value proposition was reinforced during the year as we brought in high-quality partners. This included the 40% sell-down of Louisiana LNG Infrastructure to Stonepeak, and sale to Williams of a 10% interest in Louisiana LNG LLC and 80% interest and operatorship of Driftwood Pipeline LLC.

The project is expected to be the primary supply source for long-term sale and purchase agreements that Woodside signed during the year with European customers, targeting delivery from 2029.

We will continue to progress further sell-downs and offtake agreements in 2026 in response to ongoing interest received from potential high-quality partners and customers.

Woodside views strong sustainability performance as an essential component of our overall business success and ability to make a positive contribution where we live and work.

Our approach enables us to focus on the right areas, manage key risks and impacts, drive responsible decision making, and set plans and targets that add value to our business and meet the expectations of our stakeholders.

In 2025 we made positive progress across key sustainability areas.

A particular highlight of 2025 was the World Heritage Listing of the Murujuga Cultural Landscape, which Woodside was pleased to support in collaboration with Traditional Custodians.

We continued making significant contributions to local economies and communities, including $9.3 billion spent globally on goods and services.

We also achieved our 2025 net equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target through a combination of underlying emissions performance at our facilities and the use of carbon credits.

Our gross equity Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions were fewer than the previous year, despite higher oil and gas production. This strong underlying performance allowed us to reduce our use of carbon credits to offset emissions and holds us in good stead as we progress towards our 2030 target.

I look forward to providing investors with a more detailed overview of Woodside's sustainability planning and performance at our investor briefing scheduled for next month in Sydney.

------

Let's now turn to the global market landscape. Oil is a core product for Woodside, underpinned by a robust demand outlook.

The difficulty of decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy transport and petrochemicals means that oil demand is forecast to remain resilient as the world's energy mix evolves.

Customer demand for Sangomar oil has been strong over its first 18 months of operations, and we are very confident in continued demand for oil, including for our Trion project, which is targeting first oil in 2028.

Moving to slide 16. As countries around the world prioritise energy security and affordability while also pursuing decarbonisation, we are confident in ongoing demand for LNG as a reliable and flexible energy source.

This underpins our investments in long-life LNG projects like Scarborough and Louisiana LNG, which we expect to drive a step-change in future sales volumes and cash flow.

While periods of demand-supply imbalance may occur in the near term, we believe these are unlikely to persist.

Woodside's experience reinforces this long-term demand outlook, as we continue to layer new contracts to support our growing supply portfolio.

Over the last year we have contracted 4.7 million tonnes of new LNG supply to tier-one end customers with significant gas and LNG experience. This contracting activity speaks to our credentials as a proven operator, and the growing importance placed on reliable access to energy by end-users.

Approximately 75% of our LNG volumes for 2026 to 2028 are contracted, with most oil-linked and some gas hub link exposure. This mixture provides diversification, portfolio resilience and the ability to capture value from market dislocations as well as manage risks as additional supply comes online.

Some of our new contracts will see Woodside's LNG supplied into Asia and Europe through to the 2040s, further demonstrating ongoing long-term demand.

Our achievements in 2025 have further supported Woodside's resilience and ability to deliver enduring value.

Our financial discipline and performance underpins Woodside's strength in the near term, allowing us to fund our operations and growth projects while delivering solid shareholder returns, even in tighter market conditions.

Our operational excellence and balanced portfolio are central to our resilience through the cycle. High reliability and a contracted portfolio help reduce volatility, while preserving upside exposure to favourable market conditions.

Our long-term resilience is reinforced by a diverse portfolio of high-quality assets that supports consistent production and creates optionality for future growth and value.

I'll now hand over to Graham to provide an overview of our financial strategy and performance.

**Graham Tiver:** Thanks Liz and hello everyone.

I'm pleased to present a strong set of financial results.

In 2025, we maintained a focus on cost control and maximising returns from our producing assets and driving down unit cost production. [Clarification: unit production cost]. In addition, in exploration and new energy we delivered over $200 million in cost reductions.

------

For 2026, we will continue to focus on costs, including delivering maintenance campaigns to schedule and budget. This is particularly relevant for our Pluto major turnaround scheduled for the second quarter of 2026, where in addition to maintenance, we will complete important tie-ins for Scarborough.

We maintained discipline in our investment decisions, adhering to our clear capital allocation framework. Our divestment of the Greater Angostura assets in Trinidad and Tobago highlight this disciplined investment approach.

Attracting strategic partners to our major growth projects brings complementary skills and de-risks our investment. This is demonstrated through our partnerships with Stonepeak and Williams on Louisiana LNG. Following the completion of these sell-downs, Woodside's expected total capital expenditure is now $9.9 billion, which is less than 60% of the total project cost announced at FID. Williams also brings complementary capabilities in US natural gas infrastructure and an existing gas sourcing platform to benefit the project.

We also maintained a strong balance sheet, supporting our investment-grade credit rating while progressing developments and distributing robust returns to shareholders.

We actively manage liquidity, and where appropriate, we expect to hedge a modest portion of our oil volumes to provide cash flow certainty and manage price volatility. Our full-year 2025 Brent hedges were in a positive position, and we have progressively hedged 18 million barrels for 2026 at approximately $70.

Moving to our capital management framework, which remains unchanged.

This framework underpins our disciplined approach, with clear targets to ensure the strength of our underlying business and provide certainty for our shareholders.

We are disciplined in how we position the balance sheet to achieve our goals and remain committed to an investment-grade credit rating. Our target gearing range is 10 to 20% through the cycle, and as I have stated previously, although we may at times temporarily sit outside this range during capital-intensive periods, we manage it very closely.

This approach provides us with flexibility to fund value-accretive growth while delivering solid shareholder returns.

Our dividend policy is to pay a minimum of 50% of our underlying net profit after tax, and we target a range of 50 to 80%. We know how important returns are to our shareholders and over the last decade, we have consistently paid at the top end of this range.

In 2025 we continued to deliver outstanding returns from our base business.

Ongoing exceptional production performance from Sangomar, disciplined cost control, the divestment of later-life assets in Trinidad and Tobago, and gains on hedging predominantly driven by favourable Brent positions, contributed to an EBITDA margin of over 70% and an underlying NPAT of $2.6 billion. Furthermore, the strength of our underlying business, coupled with the cash received from Stonepeak and Williams, contributed to $1.9 billion of free cash flow.

Our gearing of 18.2% has remained within the target range during a period of increased capital expenditure, and we closed the year with a strong liquidity position of $9.3 billion. We maintain credit ratings of triple B plus or equivalent and continue to have access to debt markets, including the US SEC-registered bond market.

On average, cash breakeven of less than $34 per barrel makes us resilient to less favourable price scenarios.

------

And we are very well positioned to progress our growth projects and create future value-generating opportunities, while continuing to deliver solid shareholder distributions.

As highlighted on slide 23, these achievements translated into a fully franked final dividend of $1.1 million - billion, I should say - bringing our total full-year dividend to $2.1 billion.

Our ongoing business performance means consistent returns for our shareholders, having returned approximately $11 billion in dividends since 2022, while re-investing in the business and maintaining a strong balance sheet.

We have consistently paid at the upper end of our target range for over a decade demonstrating our commitment to shareholder returns.

Thank you. And I'll now hand back to Liz.

**Liz Westcott:** Thanks Graham.

Turning to the final slide. This outlines the priorities for myself and the Woodside Executive Leadership Team.

First, we will continue maximising performance from the base business by operating safely, reliably and efficiently. We will maintain disciplined cost control across our business, including our 2026 maintenance program which involves a major turnaround at Pluto.

We will also continue to optimise our marketing portfolio and layer in Louisiana LNG offtake.

Second, we will deliver cash-generative growth including ramp-up at Beaumont, deliver first LNG from Scarborough, and continue progressing Louisiana LNG and Trion to schedule and budget. These are major generators of long-term value for Woodside.

Third, we will continue creating future value through disciplined capital management. We will maintain strong liquidity, apply strict capital allocation discipline, and actively manage the portfolio to protect long-term value.

And underpinning all of this is our continued focus on sustainability and innovation.

Our achievements in 2025 demonstrate the underlying strength of our business and execution of our strategic priorities, providing the foundation for long-term shareholder value.

Thank you.

I'll now open the call to your questions. Please limit your questions to two each so everybody has an opportunity.

**Operator:** Thank you. If you wish to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. If you wish to cancel your request, please press star two. If you're on a speakerphone, please pick up the handset to ask your question. Your first question comes from Nik Burns with Jarden Australia. Please go ahead.

**Nik Burns (Jarden, Analyst):** Yes. Hi, Liz and Graham and thanks for taking my questions today. First question just on Louisiana LNG, you've just offered an update on the HoldCo sell-down progress. It's been ten months since you sanctioned the project and at the recent Capital Markets Day, Meg said that the initial 10% tranche sale had sent a message to other interested parties that they needed to move quickly here if they wanted to participate. Just wondering how comfortable you are where the sale process is at? The Stonepeak carry largely runs out at the end of this year, so how confident are you that you'll be able to complete your sell-downs in the first half of this year? Thank you.

------

**Liz Westcott**: Yeah. Thank you. Look, we are very happy with how the process is going on the sell-down for Louisiana LNG. In a short amount of time, as you noted, we've brought in Stonepeak on the infrastructure side, and we've got Williams at the HoldCo level, and we continue to target up to another 20% of HoldCo sell-down.

Importantly, these transactions with Stonepeak and Williams have reduced the capital commitment for Woodside to $9.9 billion, or 57% of the total CapEx, and it's really solved the infrastructure and pipeline capital spend, which is positioning us well for other partners. As you noted, Stonepeak's contribution is 75% of the capital in 2025 and 2026, and this structure has really allowed us to reduce our capital requirement ahead of full-year of revenue from Scarborough in 27. And so there really has been no change in our process or momentum, but we are taking a disciplined approach.

We are very committed to getting value over speed with our continued sell-downs. We do have strong interest from counterparties. We are looking for strategic partners that complement the skills and experiences of Woodside and that value long-term relationships, and I'm very pleased with the interest that we continue to have in this.

**Graham Tiver**: I think - Nik - it's Graham as well - it's probably worthwhile adding as well that you know where the balance sheet is, you know, gearing well within the range $9.3 billion in liquidity. We have time to ensure as Liz said, that we find the right partner for the long-term and at the right value, very similar to what we did for Scarborough, but encouraged by progress.

**Nik Burns (Jarden, Analyst):** Great, thanks for that. Maybe another one for you, Graham. Just on slide 23, your title there, delivering consistent, reliable returns. Certainly the payout ratio of 80% has been consistent for the last few years, but obviously the absolute dividend has tracked underlying NPAT lower.

I don't know how much you've looked at 2026 where consensus sits, but the full year consensus dividend is just 55 cents a share and 80% payout, which is obviously less than the final dividend you've just announced here.

I appreciate a lot can happen through the year, but I was wondering if you could provide some observations on where consensus sits at the moment, and hypothetically, if we do turn out to be right for a change, are you comfortable with this level of dividend in 26, or do you see this additional flexibility for the company to potentially top up the dividend, say, if you complete the sell-downs of additional equity at Louisiana LNG HoldCo? Thanks.

**Graham Tiver:** Thanks, Nik. Yeah. You'll know from our capital management framework that we do have that flexibility through the framework to be able to, you know, look at things like special dividends and buybacks. But what I would say first and foremost is that, you know, 2026 is very much a transition year.

We have the major Pluto turnaround, which is, which is, you know, we do every three or four years. And then a part of that is doing the tie-ins relating to Scarborough. And then we also have Scarborough coming online in Q4 and delivering the first cargo.

I think there's some critical work that has to happen. And we'll see how work progresses through the year, and we can start to narrow that range on production. We'll also have a look at what prices are doing. We'll have a look at how Sangomar and the rest of the business is performing, and then we'll determine where we're at.

------

Certainly the capital management framework allows for it. But first and foremost is we need to guide through 2026 where it is a big year for us. We have a lot to do, and we'll continue to update you through the quarterlies on that.

**Nik Burns (Jarden, Analyst):** Got it. Thanks Graham.

**Operator:** Your next question comes from Rob Koh with MS. Please go ahead.

**Rob Koh (Morgan Stanley, Analyst):** Good morning. Thank you very much for the result. May I ask for some colour on decommissioning activities this year? And in particular, I guess Bass Strait platform removal and where that sits in the, in the timing, if it's not this year or where is it over the next few years?

**Liz Westcott:** Yeah. Thanks, Rob. Decommissioning activities, it's an important part of our portfolio. In 2025, we achieved some good highlights there.

We importantly completed all the drilling and abandonment, sorry, production [Clarification: plugging] and abandonment of our wells across our closed facilities at Stybarrow, Griffin and Minevra and we completed the Enfield program, so our results include good progress on these legacy closed assets.

Moving forward, we've guided that we'll be in that range of $500 million to $800 million of expenditure in 2026, and Bass Strait is going to be the major campaign coming forward with platform removals targeted for 2027. Work will continue on decommissioning, but it is now part of the everyday business of Woodside in Australia.

**Rob Koh (Morgan Stanley, Analyst):** Yep. Thank you. Thank you so much. Second question, just wondering if you can give us a sense with, with your unit production costs obviously good performance there in 2025, but the composition of costs are changing slightly with Beaumont coming in.

Can you give us a - and my understanding is that the processing costs there don't necessarily fall into your, into your unit production costs. Could you perhaps just give us a sense of how you're thinking about the overall cost structure of the, of the business this year?

**Liz Westcott:** Yes, maybe I'll kick off with that question, Rob and then pass across to Graham.

The operating assets continue to have cost efficiency focuses year on year. And as we saw in our results in 2025, we had an outstanding outcome both in absolute costs and in unit costs. 2026 has the Pluto turnaround, so this will impact not just the production outlook for the year, but it also comes with costs, and so, we will see in 2026, increased costs at the Pluto asset.

As we start to bring on Scarborough, we will have a new asset, and so that comes with additional costs.

Beaumont New Ammonia will feature in 2026 as that asset continues to come up online. And we have made the distinction between production costs, where we have our existing assets running facilities with upstream facilities, to the costs associated with either tolling or feedstock at Beaumont New Ammonia. These will be separate line items that we'll be guiding you on during the course of the year.

**Graham Tiver:** No, I think Liz, Liz captured it well. I think if anything, Rob, we're trying to increase transparency on the costs of the business going forward.

As Liz touched on, production is more about our traditional business production costs, more about our traditional business, and very much around what we control and getting down to operational cost efficiencies, etcetera.

------

Then, as with the new line that we've provided for 2026 guidance on as a part of the Q4 production report, feed gas services and processing costs, that's including Beaumont New Ammonia, and some of the tolling and feed gas processing costs. There will be good transparency in our line items and you'll be able to see that flow through, and it started with the guidance for FY26.

**Rob Koh (Morgan Stanley, Analyst):** Thanks so much.

**Operator:** Next question comes from Saul Kavonic with MST. Please go ahead.

**Saul Kavonic (MST Marquee, Analyst):** Thank you, Liz and Graham. The first question, Liz, could you give us perhaps a steer on your thinking? Hopefully we see sell-down sooner than later, but in the event that sell-downs take a bit longer, do you see sell-downs being a precondition to sanctioning Trains 4 and 5 at Louisiana or would you prefer, you know, if sell-downs haven't happened yet, would you prefer, you know, go ahead with Trains 4 and 5 anyway because it's more optimal from a cost of development perspective. How do you lean in your thinking between those two options?

**Liz Westcott:** Yeah. Thanks, Saul for the question.

Trains 4 and 5 are a great opportunity for Woodside. They would be a highly advantaged development for us because they're able to take the benefits of the installed infrastructure that Trains 1, 2 and 3 already have.

Importantly, the site where we're installing Louisiana LNG has all the permits in place to enable two additional trains and FEED was completed, so we have a lot of a head start on Trains 4 and 5. But as you referenced, the important feature for us, particularly in 2026, is getting further sell-down in the HoldCo level for Trains 1, 2 and 3 and the foundation partners of Stonepeak and Williams, they've got opportunity to participate in expansion if that's something that is progressing. But our focus does continue to be on HoldCo sell-down of Trains 1, 2 and 3.

I think it's also worth noting that we have a number of opportunities to do additional developments on our assets. We talk to Trains 4 and 5, and in Capital Markets Day we showed the benefit of expansion in four and five in terms of our sales volume growth and our cash flow benefit.

We also have additional opportunities that will be competing with Trains 4 and 5 for capital, so we'll be very disciplined around our assessment of where to invest further.

The capital allocation framework remains unchanged, as Graham mentioned, and all our investments will need to be assessed against that. And then they will actually need to compete with each other for capital going forward.

**Saul Kavonic (MST Marquee, Analyst):** Thanks. Second question on Scarborough. You've got the floater on site now. You've given yourself, I think, about a nine plus month window until first cargo. That's double the length of time, for example, that Santos targeted for Barossa.

Can you give us some colour as to why that time is so lengthy and what your level of confidence is on, you know, Scarborough starting in September versus first cargo out just after Christmas?

**Liz Westcott:** Thank you. Yes, Scarborough Energy Project at year-end was 94% complete, as you noted, and we continue to be on track for that fourth quarter cargo, the first cargo.

------

Let me help you understand what's ahead of us though. Offshore, we need to complete the installation of the floating production unit, and we need to pull in the risers and the umbilical. Then we need to go through a process of dewatering subsea equipment, and then we complete the commissioning of the topsides.

Then that allows us to start opening up the wells and flowing hydrocarbons and pressuring the trunk line. I think importantly, these offshore activities are subject to weather conditions, and so there is variation in the assumptions on how long all of this will take.

Onshore though, we need to complete construction and commissioning activities at Pluto Train 2 and once we have the gas from Scarborough, we then go through a process of start-up activities, working from the front to the back of the train, you go through cooling down of the systems and then achieving steady state operation.

We are absolutely laser-like focused on delivery of this project and so we are confident in our ability to meet our fourth quarter 2026 delivery.

**Saul Kavonic (MST Marquee, Analyst):** Thank you. [Unclear].

**Operator:** Thank you. Your next question comes from Dale Koenders with Barrenjoey. Please go ahead.

**Dale Koenders (Barrenjoey, Analyst):** Good morning, Liz and Graham. I was hoping—maybe it's a question for Graham, you could help us understand what the contracting status is for Beaumont in terms of gas supply and ammonia, what prices they're exposed to, if this is spot, and with the ramp-up of the project, how you think that earnings growth will come through over the next 12 or 18 months.

**Liz Westcott:** Yeah. Thanks, Dale. Look, I might kick off and then I'll pass it across to Graham.

The Beaumont New Ammonia Project, we achieved first ammonia as we highlighted in December 2025, and we are in the process of ramping-up the full capacity of that facility.

OCI continue to be the operator of Beaumont until we reach the performance conditions and they will pass that facility across to Woodside, targeted for the first half of this year.

Then, as we move into 2026, we will be progressively moving to a lower-carbon opportunity as we get the facilities from Linde up and running and the CCS project that ExxonMobil is doing will commence operations.

Regarding supply, the supply of both nitrogen and hydrogen is done by others supporting the project. Our investment in ammonia was the ammonia element of the project, and so we are reliant on upstream suppliers meeting their obligations to supply the facility.

Those contracts continue to operate through 2026, and we look forward to ramping-up the facility going forward. In terms of offtake, we have seen genuine interest in the ammonia products, both the conventional grey ammonia as well as the lower-carbon ammonia, and so we continue to layer contracts and commitments with customers as the facility continues to ramp-up its production.

**Graham Tiver:** Yeah. And I think all I would add is the approach the marketing team and BNA team are taking is we want that flexibility through ramping-up to full production and I think the way the team are layering in contracts is good. We have a good fair share of the volumes locked away, mostly domestically and it's worthwhile noting it could change tomorrow, Dale, but you know the domestic prices in the US for ammonia at the moment are over $600 a tonne. So we are coming online in a healthy environment at this point in time.

------

**Dale Koenders (Barrenjoey, Analyst):** Yeah thanks Graham. I guess the question is, you've previously said that the project would be earnings accretive when you get to the clean ammonia stage, but given that real strength in pricing domestically, it seems like you might actually see earnings contributions sooner?

**Graham Tiver:** Look, it will come down to the start-up, the ramp-up and how it progresses. But yes, I would like to think you know from a cash cost perspective we should be in a favourable position, but there's a lot of water to pass under the bridge, there's a lot of work to do as we ultimately take control or operatorship and then start to ramp-up. But it's a healthy market. Yes, I'd love to be in a position to report back on these results in a year's time talking about how well it's performing and the cash flow it's generating, but this first year will, you know, there's a lot of things we need to work through.

**Dale Koenders (Barrenjoey, Analyst):** Okay. Thanks, guys.

**Operator:** Your next question comes from Tom Allen with UBS. Please go ahead.

**Tom Allen (UBS, Analyst):** Hi. Good morning Liz, Graham and the broader team. Um, sort of big beat on tax today, despite the guidance released in January. But looking into 26, we expect a step up in petroleum resource rent tax for Scarborough coming online. I was hoping you could provide some commentary on how we should be scoping that lift in PRRT for 26 and 27 relative to 25, and whether you could clarify some of the key uncertainties that might dictate where PRRT lands?

**Graham Tiver:** Yeah, I can take that, Tom. Look, I think before I answer your question, it's worthwhile calling out that as we mentioned in our results, our all in effective tax rate globally was 45% and also for Australia was 44%. PRRT is only one component of the taxes we pay from our business in Australia. We are in 2023 to 24, the ATO noted that we were Australia's largest PRRT payer and we're the 8th largest corporate taxpayer. I just want to give a little bit of context and background to what we do pay. It's more than just PRRT. You know Northwest Shelf alone through its royalties and excise has paid $40 billion at 100% since its inception. It's only one component of a broader basket of taxes that we pay, which brings out all up all in effective underlying tax rate in Australia of 44%. So I just wanted to put that first, Tom, so you could hear that loud and clear.

In terms of PRRT, it is a broad calculation that relies a lot on prices but in theory, with what you're saying, with Scarborough coming online and the changes in the PRRT legislation back in [20]24, yeah, Scarborough will be paying PRRT and that should increase the overall amount of PRRT we're paying. But you know, as I said, it a lot of it relies on the pricing that we're incurring. The more the higher the prices, the more PRRT we pay. So there's a lot of moving variables, but all up we pay our fair share of tax in Australia at 44% all in.

**Tom Allen (UBS, Analyst):** Yeah. No thanks, Graham. That came through loud and clear on the tax contribution. I'm sure the journos are too. But just to follow that, are you able to provide some sort of guide just on the year-on-year movement in PRRT? It's obviously difficult to forecast, but it becomes an important part of getting our underlying NPAT and dividend outlook right. Any type of quantitative guidance you can share on where that might move over those next couple of years? On your planning assumptions.

**Graham Tiver:** We haven't put anything out on that, Tom, so I'd prefer not to say at this point in time just on the basis that there's so many moving parts. As we have a greater line of sight on the ramp-up of Scarborough, we'll provide more insight to PRRT.

**Tom Allen (UBS, Analyst):** That's helpful. Thank you. Last comment for me was just the North West Shelf, joint venture continues to be reshaped. We're reading that Shell now, following Chevron over 12 months ago, it's seeking an exit from that joint venture. Can you comment on the indicative CapEx key activities that Woodside intend to progress around backfill for the joint venture and in particular Browse over the next couple of years?

------

**Liz Westcott:** Thanks, Tom. As you note, Shell has shared that they're looking to take an offtake for their equity in the North West Shelf so we stay across that. The North West Shelf joint venture though continues to be interested in taking third-party gas. It's important to note that it already is doing that, the Karratha Gas Plant, it processes gas through the Pluto interconnector for the Pluto joint venture, it also processes gas from Waitsia, and so it's demonstrated its capability at processing third-party gas and really, the opportunity is to see whether Browse could be processed through Karratha Gas Plant. The Browse joint venture remains committed with three very important activities needed before progression can be seen. We need to ensure that we have an investable project and that the concept continues to be refined to enable that. We need to have commercial agreements in place between the Browse joint venture and the North West Shelf joint venture, which continue to be worked, and we need environmental approvals. And so the Browse project is very committed to progressing each of those workstreams and that will then enable work to progress and we can see whether the Karratha Gas Plant will be the solution for Browse.

**Tom Allen (UBS, Analyst):** Thanks for that.

**Operator:** So next question is from Gordon Ramsay with RBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

**Gordon Ramsay (RBC Capital Markets, Analyst):** Thank you Liz and Graham for the presentation today. I got another question on Beaumont New Ammonia. Just trying to understand how you move forward with phase two in that project and how dependent you are on signing up contracts for clean ammonia sales, if there's not legislation globally to encourage that. What are the key factors that will move that project forward? I know Liz, you mentioned obviously the carbon sequestration by ExxonMobil and hydrogen and nitrogen supplies are obviously critical, but assuming they're there, is there a potential for this project to slow down if you aren't going to be able to sell the ammonia at a premium price because it's classified as low carbon or clean ammonia?

**Liz Westcott:** Thanks, Gordon. As you highlight, look, our focus at the moment is on the phase one of the project and building out not only the production from the facility but understanding the customer appetite for lower-carbon ammonia.

We're targeting three key regions for our customers, we're looking at the US domestic market, we're looking at Europe and Asia Pacific, and you know, it's fair to say that while there's interest in lower-carbon ammonia, the uptake in demand is slower than we had forecast and so we remain attuned where customers are at in their desire for lower-carbon ammonia. That's going to be an important part in playing into the timing of a phase two development at Beaumont itself. So we have a really great opportunity to be able to expand that facility. It will be able to take advantage of all the installed capital to date and so it will be advantaged economically as a project, but it absolutely needs to have a customer market for it. So that's something that we'll continue to keep a watch on and it will need to meet our capital allocation framework so we're going to be very disciplined with what we progress.

**Gordon Ramsay: (RBC Capital Markets, Analyst):** Thank you, Liz. My second question relates to I think when you were discussing slide eight, you mentioned there was going to be dry dock maintenance of some of the Australian oil assets. Can you provide a bit more detail on what that involves?

------

**Liz Westcott:** Yeah, so all of our assets undertake periodic turnarounds and for FPSOs, that often involves a dry dock, and so we do have two of our assets going for dry dock this year. It's on a sort of five-year type cycle that they do and so that's something that's normal course of business for us, just like it is to have turnarounds at our LNG facilities and teams are well progressed for that and that just features in our production outlook for the year.

**Gordon Ramsay: (RBC Capital Markets, Analyst):** Can you mention the assets in the downtime? Is that possible?

**Liz Westcott:** Look I think we'll get the team maybe to follow up offline with you on details like that but it's just a normal part of our maintenance program for the year.

**Gordon Ramsay: (RBC Capital Markets, Analyst):** Thank you.

**Operator:** Your next question comes from Henry Meyer with Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead.

**Henry Meyer (Goldman Sachs, Analyst):** Thanks, Liz and Graham. Firstly, on production, guidance for the year implies quite a steep decline in oil production. I'm guessing that's primarily from Sangomar as it comes off plateau, which is normal, but it's obviously a function of lots of different variables. So I'm hoping you could step through what the annual decline rate you're expecting at Sangomar is for this year and maybe the next few years before it tapers off to 10 to 15%, let's say.

**Liz Westcott:** Thanks, Henry, for that question. As you noted, there are a lot of different variables that go into the guidance for 2026 and for the liquids production. It's important to note there isn't a particular target range. We've got a range, sorry, rather than a single point outlook here and there's a number of little factors. I'll give you a sense of them. We do have natural field decline across both our Australia assets as well as our Gulf of America assets and so that's built into the outlooks. We also have the Julimar-Brunello transaction occurring which was built in the FPSO maintenance program that we just spoke about. So they're all built in. The Pluto turnaround is also built in into liquids outlooks. We had the divestment in Angostura and then we had Sangomar. So Sangomar has done fantastically well with sitting on plateau for the bulk of 2025 and it is now commencing decline and so a variable for us is understanding that decline curve, as you were asking, and so we've made our best assessment but we'll continue to guide during the course of 2026 as we understand how Sangomar performs.

**Graham Tiver:** I think as we touched on earlier in the call, Henry, the three key drivers for us this year in terms of overall production performance and business performance is the Pluto turnaround, it's Scarborough coming online in that first cargo in the fourth quarter and then it's the Sangomar reservoir performance and, as Liz touched on, it has come off plateau but it continues to perform very, very well. But we'll keep you updated through the quarterly production reports on how that's progressing.

**Henry Meyer (Goldman Sachs, Analyst):** Thank you. Thanks. And, um, maybe a follow up on the guidance for the services and processing costs for you, which is good to get that transparency. Could you split that down to a few different components if possible? Particularly how much of that tolling cost should be Scarborough gas going through Pluto that we could expect the second half and then ramping-up to 27 as we hit capacity.

**Graham Tiver:** Yeah. So we haven't provided that exact breakdown at this point in time, Henry, as I said there's a lot of moving variables, but obviously the core components are your BNA operating costs including the gas purchases etc and then you know it will include the tolls for Scarborough which is really the fourth quarter. So, you know, you can sort of draw a few dots together and a lot of that will relate to Beaumont New Ammonia but as we have more insight to ramp-up and how Scarborough's progressing as well, we can provide more clarity on that overtime.

------

**Henry Meyer (Goldman Sachs, Analyst):** Okay. Thanks Graham.

**Operator:** The next question comes from Tom Wallington with Citi. Please go ahead.

**Tom Wallington (Citi, Analyst):** Hi, team. Thanks for the update. Just on the marketing division performance, we saw margins soften through the second half on higher trading activity and noting that the segment contributed around 8% of group level EBIT for the year, driven by a stronger first half performance. I was hoping that you could perhaps clarify some of the reasons behind this margin compression. And I guess to what extent this was driven by tighter JKM and Henry Hub spreads or if there were potentially fewer arbitrage opportunities or any portfolio mix factors to have been considered.

**Liz Westcott:** Yeah. Thanks for your question, Tom. As we sort of highlighted in our opening presentation, marketing continues to be a very important part of the value equation for Woodside and it's consistently contributed around 10% of our earnings before income [Clarification: interest] and tax for the last three years and that's no change. However, we do see some quarter to quarter volatility and we will see movement in certain line items depending on our optimisation strategy. So in third quarter for example, we had an opportunity with timing of produced equity cargoes where we're able to purchase a third-party cargo at gas hub prices and deliver it into a crude link contract. The way this turns out in the accounts can make it harder to see some of these benefits. But we're very committed to understanding the benefit marketing brings to us and we're very comfortable that, you know, we continue to see great uplift from the marketing activities.

**Tom Wallington (Citi, Analyst):** Yeah, great. Thanks for that. Um, and I guess just to, you know, lead into, I'm trying to get a gauge for how we should think about, you know, these margins through the cycle, obviously given the context of Louisiana LNG and Woodside's trading and optimisation capabilities as being a key lever that it can pull in terms of getting to that 13% internal rate of return. Is there any further, you know, confidence or guide that you can give us that might see sort of some uplift or support from this particular segment? Thank you.

**Liz Westcott:** Yeah, thanks Tom. Look, marketing is going to continue to be very important to us, but I think the best guidance we can give you is this [Clarification: previous] contribution of 10% EBIT year on year and our three-year track record demonstrates that that's something we achieve. I think where we sit today, that's going to be the best guidance for you.

**Tom Wallington (Citi, Analyst):** Great. Thank you. Cheers.

**Operator:** Your next question comes from Baden Moore with CLSA. Please go ahead.

**Baden Moore (CLSA, Analyst):** Good morning everyone. To start on the hedging component that you talked to. I think it was 16 million barrels in 26. Just wondering what metric you're targeting through that kind of program. Is it a credit metric or just struggling to understand what value that's getting you? And whether, how we think about, whether you'd roll that forward, what would you target to roll that forward into 27 is my first question. And then second question, just it's been a bit in the press on the CEO succession obviously just wondering if there's any updates on timing for that process.

------

**Graham Tiver:** Okay. I'll take the hedging. I'll leave the second one to Liz. But yeah, look, it's a good question Baden and let's be very clear, we don't hedge to take a crystal ball on where prices will be. We very much hedge from a defensive perspective in the context of a heavy capital period for us over the last few years, we've hedged around the 30 million barrels and that provides a base load certainty on cash flows for us and that allows us, you know, in very simple language to be able to pay our bills. And so we're not trying to second guess or take a position on oil prices. We're just trying to lock in a certain stream or flow of cash flows for the business. You know, where our business sits, you know, it's unlikely you'll see us hedge on a forward curve below $70. But anything above 70, we will look at that. You know, as I've said, we've got a past history of going up to 30 [Clarification: 30 million barrels], but we'll just wait and see what the forward curve looks like. But it's very much defensive and it's about securing and locking in a certain volume of cash, if you want to call it.

**Liz Westcott:** All right. Moving to your next question, CEO succession. I just want to acknowledge that the appointment of the CEO is a very important activity. And I know everyone's very interested in the outcome. But I want to reinforce that what I'm interested in and what I know is very important, along with the rest of the Executive Leadership Team, is that we continue to execute against our strategy and deliver shareholder value through our disciplined decision making and our operational excellence. As we outlined in Capital Markets Day, we have a lot of priorities for 2026, and they're very clear. We need to have safe and efficient operations, we have a lot of projects that we will be executing, and our focus continues to be on the strategy that we shared at the end of 2025. So the Chair has made it clear that the Board is assessing a number of internal candidates and external talent, and that they intend to make an announcement in the first quarter of 2026. So we'll all wait to see that.

**Baden Moore (CLSA, Analyst):** Thank you.

**Operator:** Your next question comes from Sarah Kerr with Argonaut. Please go ahead.

**Sarah Kerr (Argonaut, Analyst):** Thanks, Liz and Graham. Just my first question starting in the US. So we saw at the start of the year with the tug of war for gas demand between LNG facilities and domestic demand, and we're seeing an ever-increasing demand coming from utilities, especially with more and more data centres being more and more power hungry. I'm just wondering, how do you see Louisiana LNG in that landscape. And does that give you confidence in the market, I guess going forward that you can get feedstock at a reasonable price?

**Liz Westcott:** Thank you for the question. Look, the Louisiana LNG project is ideally situated to benefit from the supply in the US. We have a very large opportunity with domestic supply in the US, notwithstanding the interest from data centres and others in accessing domestic gas, more than 1.1 [Clarification: 1,100] trillion cubic feet of gas that is available to LNG projects and others to use. We have a lot of transport infrastructure that we've already committed, the foundation requirements we need with pipeline options, and we've got a foundational contract with bp for supply. So we're confident that our project will be able to access the gas it needs going forward. And we continue to see opportunity as an LNG producer to be able to access gas.

**Sarah Koh (Argonaut, Analyst):** Thank you, and just a quick question in Australia. So looking at Bass Strait, obviously seeing a renewed exploration phase going through an offshore there, we're seeing some discoveries as well. There's also some fantastic projects that are smaller developers, have close to Woodside's infrastructure. Just wondering, is Woodside looking at doing more of your own organic backfill or looking to possibly tie in and partner with the small developers?

------

**Liz Westcott:** Yeah. Bass Strait supplies approximately 40% of the East Coast gas demand, and has been a real backstay of the East Coast gas market over decades. And we'll be taking operatorship from ExxonMobil in the middle of 2026. As part of that decision and as operator, we've identified four potential development wells that we believe could be progressed to deliver up to 200 petajoules of sales gas to the market. And so we'll be taking those through the technical development phases as we take over operatorship. And so we continue to be interested in available development for the Bass Strait and look forward to being the operator going forward.

**Operator:** Thanks very much.

**Liz Westcott:** Now, I might recognise the time here and call the end to questions. Thank you everybody for listening in and participating today. Just a reminder, we will be hosting our Sustainability Investor Briefing on the 16th of March, which I invite you all to join, and I look forward to speaking with you at other upcoming events. Thank you.
