Vietnam – Installed the platform jacket and initiated development drilling at the Lac Da Vang (Golden Camel) development project. The project remains on schedule for first oil in the fourth quarter of 2026.
MOROCCO NEW COUNTRY ENTRY
During the first quarter, Murphy signed a Petroleum Agreement securing an operated position in Morocco’s Gharb Deep Offshore deepwater block which covers more than 4 million acres. Murphy holds a 75 percent working interest in the block, with the remaining 25 percent working interest held by the Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines (ONHYM). The Petroleum Agreement does not include any firm well commitments in the initial three-year exploration phase.
“We are excited about our entry into Morocco, which offers exposure to exploration in a frontier basin with attractive entry costs and competitive terms. This entry is consistent with our strategy of developing a diverse exploration portfolio that balances risk, material upside, and value,” said Hambly.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This news release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating Murphy Oil Corporation’s overall financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are broadly used to value and compare companies in the crude oil and natural gas industry. Not all companies define these measures in the same way. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should therefore be considered only as supplemental to such GAAP financial measures. Please see the attached schedules for reconciliations of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures used in this news release and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
†In accordance with GAAP, Murphy reports the 100 percent interest, including a 20 percent noncontrolling interest (NCI), in its subsidiary, MP Gulf of Mexico, LLC (MP GOM). The GAAP financials include the NCI portion of revenue, costs, assets and liabilities and cash flows. Unless otherwise noted, the financial and operating highlights and metrics discussed in this news release, but not the accompanying schedules, exclude the NCI, thereby representing only the amounts attributable to Murphy.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Presented above is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Murphy. Adjusted net income excludes certain items that management believes affect the comparability of results between periods. Management believes this is important information to provide because it is used by management to evaluate the Company’s operational performance and trends between periods and relative to its industry competitors. Management also believes this information may be useful to investors and analysts to gain a better understanding of the Company’s financial results. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a substitute for net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP.
The pretax and income tax impacts for adjustments in the above table are shown below by area of operation and geographical location and corporate, as applicable, and exclude the share attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Presented above is a reconciliation of net cash provided by continuing operations activities to free cash flow (FCF) and adjusted FCF. Management believes FCF and adjusted FCF are important information to provide because they are additional measures of liquidity and are used by management to evaluate the Company’s ability to internally generate cash, excluding the timing impacts of working capital, and to measure funds available for investing and financing activities. Management also believes this information may be useful to investors and analysts to monitor the Company’s financial health and its performance over time. FCF and adjusted FCF are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered a substitute for net cash provided by operating, investing, or financing activities as determined in accordance with GAAP.
