The Company revised its consolidated financial forecasts for the six months ending June 30, 2026 and the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, reflecting stable operations at the Ichthys Project and other assets, and a review of the assumptions for crude oil prices and foreign exchange rates from the second quarter onward.
Given the heightened uncertainty surrounding the situation in the Middle East, the assumptions for crude oil prices and foreign exchange rates, as well as the consolidated financial forecast figures, have been revised and disclosed on a range basis.
