NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These notes are an integral part of the financial statements of Murphy Oil Corporation and Consolidated Subsidiaries (the Company or Murphy) on pages 2 through 6 of this Form 10-Q report.

Note A – Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial statements presented herein, in the opinion of Murphy’s management, include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the interim periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In preparing the financial statements of the Company in conformity with GAAP, management has made a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates.

Consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K report, as certain notes and other pertinent information have been abbreviated or omitted in this report. Financial results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of future results.

Note B – New Accounting Principles and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Principles Adopted

Reportable Segment Disclosures. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The standard requires additional disclosures about operating segments, including segment expense information provided to the chief operating decision maker, and extends certain disclosure requirements to interim periods. The Company adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of 2024. The adoption did not impact the determination of significant segments and had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These new disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively to all prior periods included in the financial statements. Refer to Note P.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The standard requires specified information about certain costs and expenses presented on the face of the income statement to be further disaggregated in the notes to the financial statements. In addition, the standard requires certain expense and cost information that is not separately disaggregated to be qualitatively described. We expect this ASU to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The update requires financial statements to include consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. We expect this ASU to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

The Company evaluates the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not specifically discussed above were assessed and determined to be not applicable, previously disclosed, or not material upon adoption.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Note C – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Nature of Goods and Services

The Company explores for and produces crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (collectively referred to as oil and natural gas) in select basins around the world. The Company’s revenue from sales of oil and natural gas production activities is primarily subdivided into two key geographic segments: the United States (U.S.) and Canada. Additionally, revenue from sales to customers is generated from three primary revenue streams: crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs).

For operated oil and natural gas production where a non-operated working interest owner does not take in kind its proportionate interest in the produced commodity, the Company acts as an agent for the working interest owner and recognizes revenue only for its own share of the commingled production. The exception to this is the reporting of the noncontrolling interest (NCI) in MP Gulf of Mexico, LLC (MP GOM) as prescribed by GAAP.

U.S. - In the U.S., the Company primarily produces oil and natural gas from fields in the Eagle Ford Shale area of South Texas and in the Gulf of America. Revenue is generally recognized when oil and natural gas is transferred to the customer at the delivery point. Revenue recognized is largely index-based with price adjustments for floating market differentials.

Canada - In Canada, contracts include long-term floating commodity index priced and natural gas physical forward sales fixed price contracts. For the offshore business in Canada, contracts are based on index prices and revenue is recognized at the time of vessel load based on the volumes on the bill of lading and point of custody transfer. The Company also purchases natural gas in Canada to meet certain sales commitments.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company reviews performance based on two key geographical segments and between onshore and offshore sources of revenue within these geographies.

1 Includes revenue attributable to noncontrolling interest in MP GOM.

2 Purchases of natural gas are reported on a gross basis when Murphy takes control of the product and has risks and rewards of ownership. Sales of purchased natural gas are reported when the contractual performance obligations are satisfied. This occurs at the time the product is delivered to a third-party purchaser at the contractually determinable price.

Contract Balances and Asset Recognition

As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, receivables from contracts with customers, net of royalties and associated payables, on the balance sheet from continuing operations, were $180.2 million and $178.3 million, respectively. Payment terms for the Company’s sales vary across contracts and geographical regions, with the majority of the cash receipts required within 30 days of billing. Based on a forward-looking expected loss model in accordance with ASU 2016-13, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses on receivables or contract assets arising from customer contracts during the reporting periods.

The Company has not entered into any revenue contracts that have financing components as of September 30, 2025.

The Company does not employ sales incentive strategies such as commissions or bonuses for obtaining sales contracts. For the periods presented, the Company did not identify any assets to be recognized associated with the costs to obtain a contract with a customer.

Note C – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Continued)

Performance Obligations

The Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a commodity to a customer. Judgment is required to determine whether some customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefit of commodities. As a result of this assessment for the Company, each unit of measure of the specified commodity is considered to represent a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time upon the transfer of control of the commodity.

For contracts with market or index-based pricing, which represent the majority of sales contracts, the Company has elected the allocation exception and allocates the variable consideration to each single performance obligation in the contract. As a result, there is no price allocation to unsatisfied remaining performance obligations for delivery of commodity product in subsequent periods.

The Company has entered into several long-term, fixed price contracts in Canada. The underlying reason for entering a fixed price contract is generally unrelated to anticipated future prices or other observable data and serves a particular purpose in the Company’s long-term strategy.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had the following sales contracts in place which are expected to generate revenue from sales to customers for a period over 12 months starting at the inception of the contract:

Exploratory Wells

Under FASB guidance, exploratory well costs should continue to be capitalized when the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had total capitalized drilling costs pending the determination of proved reserves of $115.1 million. The following table reflects the net changes in capitalized exploratory well costs during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.


(Thousands of dollars)	2025		2024
Beginning balance at January 1	$	72,055	$	49,118
Additions pending the determination of proved reserves	43,091		28,452

Capitalized exploratory well costs charged to expense	—		(26,471)
Balance at September 30	$	115,146	$	51,099

Capital additions of $43.1 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were mainly for the Hai Su Vang-1X (Golden Sea Lion), Block 15-2/17; and Lac Da Hong-1X (Pink Camel), Block 15-1/05 exploration wells in Vietnam. The Lac Da Hong-1X (Pink Camel), Block 15-1/05 exploration well in Vietnam encountered 106 feet of net oil pay from one reservoir and continues to progress post-drill evaluations. Capital additions also included long-lead equipment for the Cello #1 (Mississippi Canyon 385) and Banjo #1 (Mississippi Canyon 385)

Note D – Property, Plant and Equipment (Continued)

exploration wells in the Gulf of America and long-lead equipment for Bubale-1X (Block CI-709), Civette-1X (Block CI-502), and Caracal-1X (Block CI-102) exploration wells in Côte d’Ivoire. Capital additions of $28.5 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were mainly for the non-operated Ocotillo #1 (Mississippi Canyon 40) exploration well in the Gulf of America and Hai Su Vang-1X (Golden Sea Lion), Block 15-2/17; and Lac Da Hong-1X (Pink Camel), Block 15-1/05 exploration wells in Vietnam.

There were no capitalized well costs charged to dry hole expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Capitalized well costs charged to dry hole expense of $26.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were primarily related to the Hoffe Park #1 (Mississippi Canyon 166) exploration well in the Gulf of America.

The preceding table excludes well costs of $43.0 million incurred and expensed directly to dry hole for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. These costs primarily included $25.8 million for the non-operated Orange #1 (Mississippi Canyon 216) and $11.8 million for the Sebastian #1 (Mississippi Canyon 387) exploration wells in the Gulf of America.

The following table provides an aging of capitalized exploration well costs based on the date the drilling was completed for each individual well.


	September 30,
	2025			2024

(Thousands of dollars)	Amount		No. of Wells		Amount		No. of Wells

Three years or more	22,413		3		22,547		3
	$	115,146	11		$	51,099	6

Of the $97.6 million of exploration well costs capitalized and classified as more than one year at September 30, 2025, $68.2 million was in Vietnam, $22.1 million was in the Gulf of America, $4.6 million was in Canada, and $2.7 million was in Brunei. In all geographical areas, either further appraisal or development drilling is planned and/or development studies/plans are in various stages of completion.

Property Additions

On July 1, 2025, the Company purchased additional working interests in Eagle Ford Shale, in acreages primarily operated by Murphy, for $23.0 million.

During the first quarter of 2025, Murphy purchased a floating production storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) from BW Offshore (UK) Limited for a gross purchase price of $125.0 million. An initial payment of $100.0 million was made in the first quarter of 2025, with the remaining balance paid during the second quarter of 2025, after certain contractual obligations were met. The FPSO will remain at its current location, supporting operations at the Cascade field (Walker Ridge 206 and 250) and Chinook field (Walker Ridge 469 and 425) in the Gulf of America. BW Offshore (UK) Limited will continue to provide operations and maintenance services under a new five-year contract.

Impairments

There were pretax impairments of $115.0 million ($92.0 million excluding NCI) in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The impairment related to the partial write-down of the Dalmatian field in the Gulf of America due to reserve reductions, as certain projects in the field were less competitive for capital allocation. There were no impairments in the three months ended September 30, 2024. There were pretax impairments of $34.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, related to the Calliope field in Mississippi Canyon in the Gulf of America, in which operational issues led to a reserve reduction.

Revolving Credit Facility

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a $1.35 billion revolving credit facility (RCF). The RCF is a senior unsecured guaranteed facility which expires on October 7, 2029. At September 30, 2025, the Company had $150.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the RCF and $0.4 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduce the borrowing capacity of the RCF. At September 30, 2025, the interest rate in effect on borrowings under the RCF was 6.48%. At September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the RCF.

Debt Extinguishment

In May 2024, the Company paid a total of $50.5 million to complete the open market repurchases of $26.5 million aggregate principal of its 5.875% senior notes due 2027 (2027 Notes) and $23.5 million aggregate principal of its 6.375% senior notes due 2028 (2028 Notes). The cash costs of the debt extinguishment of $0.5 million is included in “Interest expense, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The Company also has a shelf registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that permits the offer and sale of debt and/or equity securities through October 15, 2027.

The estimation of future ARO is based on a number of assumptions requiring professional judgment. The Company cannot predict the type of revisions to these assumptions that may be required in future periods due to the availability of additional information such as: prices for oil field services, technological changes, governmental requirements and other factors.

Note H – Employee and Retiree Benefit Plans

The Company has defined benefit pension plans that are principally noncontributory and cover most full-time employees. All pension plans are funded except for the U.S. and Canadian nonqualified supplemental plans and the U.S. directors’ plan. All U.S. tax qualified plans meet the funding requirements of federal laws and regulations. Contributions to foreign plans are based on local laws and tax regulations. The Company also sponsors other postretirement benefits such as health care and life insurance benefit plans, which are not funded, that cover most retired U.S. employees. The health care benefits are contributory; the life insurance benefits are noncontributory.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company made contributions of $26.4 million to its defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans. Remaining funding in 2025 for the Company’s defined benefit pension and postretirement plans is anticipated to be $4.5 million.

Note I – Incentive Plans

The Company recognizes expenses for all share-based and cash-based incentive compensation in the Consolidated Statements of Operations using a fair value-based measurement method over the applicable vesting periods.

The Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) authorizes the Compensation Committee (the Committee) to establish specific performance goals associated with annual cash awards that may be earned by officers, executives and certain other employees. Cash awards under the AIP are determined based on the Company’s actual financial and operating results as measured against the performance goals established by the Committee.

In May 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2025 Long-Term Plan) to replace the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2020 Long-Term Plan). All awards granted on or after May 14, 2025, will be made under the 2025 Long-Term Plan. The 2025 Long-Term Plan will expire in 2035 and authorizes the issuance of up to 3.885 million shares of common stock over its term. Additional information on the 2025 Long-Term Plan can be found in Exhibit A to definitive proxy statement filed on March 28, 2025.

Similar to the 2020 Long-Term Plan, the 2025 Long-Term Plan authorizes the Committee to make grants of the Company’s common stock and stock-based awards to employees. These grants may be in the form of stock

Shares issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2025 Long-Term Plan and the previous 2020 Long-Term Plan, may be shares that are authorized and unissued or shares that were reacquired by the Company, including shares repurchased on the open market. Share awards that have been canceled, expired, forfeited, or otherwise not issued will not count as shares issued under both plans.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Committee granted the following awards from the 2020 Long-Term Plan and the 2025 Long-Term Plan:

Time-based RSUs (Stock-Settled) 2	5,060	August 11, 2025	$	23.09	Average Stock Price

1 Performance-based RSUs are tied to the achievement of Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE) performance goals and are scheduled to vest three years from the date of grant if performance conditions are met.

2 Time-based RSUs generally vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant.

The Company also maintains a Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (NEDs) that permits the issuance of RSUs, stock options, or a combination thereof to the Company’s Non-Employee Directors.

The Company currently has outstanding incentive awards issued to Directors under the 2021 Stock Plan for NEDs (the 2021 NED Plan) and the 2018 Stock Plan for NEDs. All awards granted on or after May 12, 2021 were made under the 2021 NED Plan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Committee granted the following awards to Non-Employee Directors under the 2021 NED Plan:


Type of Award	Number of Awards Granted	Grant Date	Grant Date Fair Value		Valuation Methodology
Time-Based RSUs 1	74,970	February 5, 2025	$	26.68	Closing Stock Price

Time-Based RSUs 2	2,112	September 30, 2025	$	28.41	Closing Stock Price

1 Non-Employee Directors’ time-based RSUs are scheduled to vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Non-Employee Directors may elect to defer settlement of their vested time-based RSUs until (1) termination of service from the Board or (2) a future date selected by the director at the time of their deferral election. These unvested time-based RSUs are included in the table above, will vest in one year, and become deferred RSUs.

2 Effective January 1, 2024, Non-Employee Directors can elect to receive their annual retainers in the form of deferred RSUs. Director fees that are deferred into RSUs are calculated and expensed each quarter by taking fees earned in respect of the applicable quarter and dividing by the closing price of our common stock on the last trading day of the quarter. Each deferred RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock following (1) termination of service from the Board or (2) a future date selected by the director at the time of their deferral election.

Certain incentive compensation granted to the Company’s named executive officers, to the extent their total compensation exceeds $1.0 million per executive per year, is not eligible for a U.S. income tax deduction under the current tax law.

Note J – Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) attributable to Murphy was used as the numerator in computing both basic and diluted income (loss) per common share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The following table reconciles the weighted-average shares outstanding used for these computations.


	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,

1 Due to a net loss recognized by the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2025, no unvested stock awards were included in the computation of the diluted net income (loss) per common share as the effect would have been antidilutive.

The following table reflects the dilutive restricted stock units during the periods presented but were not included in the computation of diluted shares above because the incremental shares from the assumed conversion were antidilutive.

Note K – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate is calculated as the amount of income tax expense (benefit) divided by income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s effective income tax rates were as follows:


	2025	2024
Three months ended September 30,	(113.5)%	1.4%
Nine months ended September 30,	24.6%	13.3%

The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 was below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% due to the impact of the Company's reported pre-tax loss. Several factors affect the rate including: certain expenses, including exploration and other expenses in certain foreign jurisdictions, for which no income tax benefits are currently available, foreign currency translation adjustments, no tax benefit applied to the pretax loss of the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM, and the effects of income generated in foreign tax jurisdictions, certain of which have income tax rates higher than the U.S. federal rate. The negative impact on the effective tax rate was partially offset by the tax effect of stock-based compensation and U.S. state tax expense.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Note K – Income Taxes (Continued)

The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 was below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to an income tax deduction for prior years’ Australia exploration spend, which resulted in an income tax benefit of $33.7 million.

The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 was above the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to several factors including: the effects of income generated in foreign tax jurisdictions, certain of which have income tax rates higher than the U.S. federal rate; U.S. state tax expense; stock-based compensation; foreign currency translation adjustments; and certain expenses, including exploration and other expenses in certain foreign jurisdictions, for which no income tax benefits are currently available. These impacts were partially offset by no tax applied to the pretax income of the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM, and a Canada tax credit received.

The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 was below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to an income tax deduction for prior years’ Australia exploration spend and no tax applied to the pretax income of the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM.

The Company’s tax returns in multiple jurisdictions are subject to audit by taxing authorities. These audits often take years to complete and settle. Although the Company believes that recorded liabilities for unsettled issues are adequate, additional gains or losses could occur in future years from resolution of outstanding unsettled matters. Additionally, the Company could be required to pay amounts into an escrow account as any matters are identified and appealed with the relevant taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2025, the earliest years remaining open for audit and/or settlement in our major taxing jurisdictions are as follows: U.S. – 2016; Canada – 2016; and Malaysia – 2018. The Company has retained certain possible liabilities and rights to income tax receivables relating to Malaysia for the years prior to 2019.

On July 4, 2025, the current U.S. Administration signed into law the legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting corporations. The OBBBA, among other changes, permanently reinstates the "bonus" depreciation provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of 100% of the cost of certain qualified property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, permanently reinstates the elective immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures paid or incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2024 (with a special transition rule that allows accelerated deduction of the remaining unamortized balance of capitalized domestic research and experimental expenditures), and permanently relaxes the limitation on the deductibility of business interest effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. The OBBBA also modifies certain international tax provisions effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. The Company evaluated the effects of the OBBBA in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, and determined that the legislation did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2025. The Company will continue to monitor any subsequent regulatory guidance related to the OBBBA.

Murphy, at times, uses derivative instruments to manage certain risks related to commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The use of derivative instruments for risk management is covered by operating policies and is closely monitored by the Company’s senior management. The Company does not hold any derivatives for speculative purposes, and it does not use derivatives with leveraged or complex features. Derivative instruments are traded with creditworthy major financial institutions or over national exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). The Company has a risk management control system to monitor commodity price risks and any derivatives obtained to manage a portion of such risks. For accounting purposes, the Company has not designated commodity and foreign currency derivative contracts as hedges, and therefore, it recognizes all gains and losses on these derivative contracts in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risks

The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange risk associated with operations in countries outside the U.S. The Company had no foreign currency exchange derivatives outstanding at September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Commodity Price Risks

The Company is subject to commodity price risk related to products it produces and sells. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company had the following open natural gas swap contracts. Under the swaps contracts, which mature monthly, the Company pays the average monthly price in effect and receives the fixed contract price on a notional amount of sales volume, thereby fixing the price for the commodity sold.

At September 30, 2025, volumes per day associated with outstanding natural gas derivative contracts and the weighted average prices for these contracts are as follows:

Fair Values – Recurring

The Company carries certain assets and liabilities at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value hierarchy is based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, with Level 1 being the highest quality and Level 3 being the lowest quality. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions about pricing by market participants.

The commodity swaps receivable as of September 30, 2025 was $2.2 million and recorded as “Accounts receivable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of commodity swaps was based on active market quotes for NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas. The before tax income effect of changes in the fair value of natural gas derivative contracts is recorded in “Gain (loss) on derivative instruments” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The nonqualified employee savings plan is an unfunded savings plan through which participants seek a return via phantom investments in equity securities and/or mutual funds. The fair value of this liability was based on quoted prices for these equity securities and mutual funds. The income effect of changes in the fair value of the nonqualified employee savings plan is recorded in “Selling and general expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company offsets certain assets and liabilities related to derivative contracts when the legal right of offset exists. There were no offsetting positions recorded at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The table excludes cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, all of which had fair values approximating carrying amounts. The fair value of current and long-term debt was estimated based on rates offered to the Company at that time for debt of the same maturities. Substantially all of the Company’s long-term debt is actively traded in open markets, and accordingly, is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company has off-balance sheet exposures relating to certain letters of credit. The fair value of these, which represents fees associated with obtaining the instruments, were minimal.

Fair Values – Nonrecurring

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, an impairment charge of $115.0 million ($92.0 million excluding NCI) was triggered for the Dalmatian field in the Gulf of America due to reserve reductions, as certain projects in the field were less competitive for capital allocation.

There were no impairment expenses incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2024. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an impairment charge of $34.5 million was triggered for the Calliope field, due to operational issues that led to reserve reductions.

The fair values were determined by internal discounted cash flow models using estimates of future production, prices, costs and discount rates believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants in the applicable region.

Note N – Environmental and Other Contingencies

The Company’s operations and earnings have been and may be affected by various forms of governmental action both in the United States and throughout the world. Examples of such governmental action include, but are by no means limited to: tax legislation changes, including tax rate changes, and retroactive tax claims; trade policies, tariffs and other trade restrictions; royalty and revenue sharing increases; import and export controls; price controls; currency controls; allocation of supplies of crude oil and petroleum products and other goods; expropriation of property; restrictions and preferences affecting the issuance of oil and natural gas or mineral leases; restrictions on drilling and/or production; laws, regulations and government action intended for the promotion of safety and the protection and/or remediation of the environment including in connection with the purported causes or potential impacts of climate change; governmental support for other forms of energy; and laws and regulations affecting the Company’s relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, stockholders and others. Given the factors involved in various government actions, including political considerations, it is difficult to predict their likelihood, the form they may take, or the effect they may have on the Company.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS – Murphy and other companies in the oil and natural gas industry are subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations dealing with the environment and protection of health and safety. The principal environmental, health and safety laws and regulations to which Murphy is subject address such matters as the generation, storage, handling, use, disposal and remediation of petroleum products, wastewater and hazardous materials; the emission and discharge of such materials to the environment, including methane and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; wildlife, habitat and water protection; water access, use and disposal; the placement, operation and decommissioning of production equipment; the health and safety of our employees, contractors and communities where our operations are located, including indigenous communities; and the causes and impacts of climate change. These laws and regulations also generally require permits for existing operations, as well as the construction or development of new operations and the decommissioning of facilities once production has ceased.

Violation of federal or state environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties, injunctions and construction bans or delays. A discharge of hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent such event is not adequately insured, subject the Company to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable regulations and claims by neighboring landowners and other third parties for any personal injury and property damage that might result. In addition, Item 103 of SEC Regulation S-K requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that the Company reasonably believes will exceed a specified threshold. Pursuant to SEC amendments to this item, the Company will be using a threshold of $1.0 million for such proceedings and the Company is not aware of environmental legal proceedings likely to exceed this $1.0 million threshold.

In recent years, there has been an increase in regulatory oversight of the oil and natural gas industry at the state and federal level, with a focus on climate change and GHG emissions (including methane emissions). For example, in March 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published its final rule regulating methane and volatile organic compounds emissions in the oil and natural gas industry which, among other things, requires periodic inspections to detect leaks (and subsequent repairs), places stringent restrictions on venting and flaring of methane, and establishes a program whereby third parties can monitor and report large methane emissions to the U.S. EPA. However, the U.S. EPA has since published an interim final rule extending several compliance deadlines associated with the new methane rules. In November 2024, the U.S. EPA published its final rule implementing a charge on large emitters of waste methane from the oil and gas sector. This rule, however, was disapproved by a joint Congressional resolution in March 2025, and the OBBBA passed in July 2025 extended the imposition of the waste emission charge until 2034. In addition, an international climate agreement (the Paris Agreement) was agreed to at the 2015 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France. In January 2025, the United States submitted formal notification to the United Nations that it intends to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Paris Agreement, the withdrawal will take effect on January 27, 2026. While presidential administrations may modify, revise or repeal rules related to climate change and GHG emissions, the general trend has been towards stricter regulation over time. Further, many states have adopted or are considering regulations related to GHG emissions.

The Company currently owns or leases, and has in the past owned or leased, properties at which hazardous substances have been or are being handled. Hazardous substances may have been disposed of or released on

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Note N – Environmental and Other Contingencies (Continued)

or under the properties owned or leased by the Company or on or under other locations where these wastes have been taken for disposal. In addition, many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose treatment and disposal or release of hydrocarbons or other wastes were not under Murphy’s control. Under existing laws, the Company could be required to investigate, remove or remediate previously disposed wastes (including wastes disposed of or released by prior owners or operators), to investigate and clean up contaminated property (including contaminated groundwater) or to perform remedial plugging operations to prevent future contamination. Certain of these historical properties are in various stages of negotiation, investigation, and/or cleanup, and the Company is investigating the extent of any such liability and the availability of applicable defenses. The Company has retained certain liabilities related to environmental matters at formerly owned U.S. refineries that were sold in 2011. The Company also obtained insurance covering certain levels of environmental exposures related to past operations of these refineries. Murphy USA Inc. has retained any environmental exposure associated with Murphy’s former U.S. marketing operations that were spun-off in August 2013. The Company believes costs related to these sites will not have a material adverse effect on Murphy’s net income, financial condition or liquidity in a future period. Depending on the evolution of laws, regulations and litigation outcomes relating to climate change, there can be no guarantee that climate change litigation will not in the future materially adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

There is the possibility that environmental expenditures could be required at currently unidentified sites, and additional expenditures could be required at known sites. However, based on information currently available to the Company, the amount of future investigation and remediation costs incurred at known or currently unidentified sites is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future net income, cash flows or liquidity.

LEGAL MATTERS – Murphy and its subsidiaries are engaged in a number of other legal proceedings (including litigation related to climate change), all of which Murphy considers routine and incidental to its business. Based on information currently available to the Company, the ultimate resolution of environmental and legal matters referred to in this note is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net income, financial condition or liquidity in a future period.

Note Q – Leases

Nature of Leases

The Company has entered into various operating leases such as a natural gas processing plant, floating production storage and off-take vessels, buildings, marine vessels, vehicles, drilling rigs, pipelines and other oil and natural gas field equipment.

Options to extend lease terms are at the Company’s discretion. Early lease terminations are at the Company’s discretion and/or the mutual agreement between the Company and lessor. Purchase options also exist for certain leases.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company exercised an option to extend an operating lease pertaining to a drill ship used in our offshore business. This resulted in an increase of $167.1 million (discounted) to our right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities at September 30, 2025.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read together with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 included under “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and MD&A included in Item 8 and 7, respectively, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. This MD&A includes forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this section.

Overview

Murphy is an independent oil and natural gas company with a multi-basin onshore and offshore portfolio and significant exploration opportunities. The Company boasts over a century of strong execution and innovative, full-cycle development capabilities, with a focus on value creation to enhance shareholder returns. The Company’s current operations include inventory located onshore in the Eagle Ford Shale, Tupper Montney and Kaybob Duvernay, as well as offshore in the Gulf of America and Canada. Murphy also strives to create long-term shareholder value through offshore exploration and development in the Gulf of America, Vietnam and Côte d’Ivoire.

The analysis and discussion in this section includes amounts attributable to a noncontrolling interest in MP GOM, unless otherwise noted.

Significant Company financial and operational highlights during the third quarter of 2025 were as follows:

•Increased production to 206,936 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day (including NCI), up from 191,273 BOE per day in the third quarter of 2024, and up from 196,315 BOE per day in the second quarter of 2025

•Paid down $50.0 million of debt under the RCF and returned $46.4 million ($0.325 per share, or $1.30 per share annualized) to shareholders through a quarterly dividend

Subsequent to the third quarter, Murphy completed the installation of the LDV-A platform jacket and initiated development drilling at the Lac Da Vang (Golden Camel) development project in Vietnam.

Murphy Oil Corporation’s net loss from continuing operations, including noncontrolling interest, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $7.8 million compared to net income of $151.7 million for the same period in 2024. The results for 2025 were impacted by higher impairment expense ($115.0 million), higher depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses (DD&A) ($59.8 million), and lower revenues from production ($32.2 million). These changes were partially offset by lower lease operating expenses ($38.5 million) and higher other income ($19.2 million).

The impairment expense during the quarter related to the Dalmatian field in the Gulf of America that resulted from reserve reductions, as certain projects in the field were less competitive for capital allocation. The increase in DD&A resulted from higher total production levels and elevated rates in the Gulf of America. Lower revenues during the quarter were mainly the result of lower oil prices, partially offset by higher overall production volumes. Lower lease operating expenses were primarily due to lower workover costs and production handling fees in the Gulf of America and cost-savings initiatives in the Eagle Ford Shale, and were partially offset by higher production in the Eagle Ford Shale. Higher other income was the result of unrealized foreign exchange gains.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, total hydrocarbon production was 206,936 barrels of oil equivalent per day, an increase of 8% compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase was principally due to higher production in the Eagle Ford Shale and Tupper Montney, partially offset by lower offshore production in both the U.S. and Canada. Higher production in the Eagle Ford Shale was primarily the result of new wells online in the current year at Karnes and Catarina. Higher production in Canada Onshore relates to better well performance at Tupper Montney. Lower production in the Gulf of America and Canada Offshore was due to natural decline and both planned and unplanned downtime for mechanical issues.

Net income from continuing operations, including noncontrolling interest, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $116.1 million, a decrease of $308.1 million compared to the same period in 2024. Lower net income from continuing operations was largely driven by lower revenues from production ($268.5

million), higher DD&A ($86.6 million), higher impairment expense ($80.5 million), and lower other income ($48.5 million). These changes were partially offset by lower lease operating expenses ($111.8 million), lower exploration expenses ($61.0 million), and lower income tax expenses ($26.9 million).

Lower revenues were primarily due to the lower price of oil, combined with lower production in the Gulf of America, and were partially offset by higher production in the Eagle Ford Shale, and the higher price of natural gas. Higher DD&A was due to higher production in the Eagle Ford Shale and higher rates in the Gulf of America, partially offset by lower production volumes in the Gulf of America. Higher impairment expense was related to the Dalmatian field in the Gulf or America. Lower other income was primarily the result of unrealized foreign exchange losses. Lower lease operating expenses related to lower workover costs and production handling fees in the Gulf of America, combined with lower operating costs due to the acquisition of the BW Pioneer FPSO earlier this year. Cost reduction activities in the Eagle Ford Shale also contributed to overall lower lease operating expenses. Lower exploration expenses were primarily due to no dry hole expense recorded in 2025 (2024: Sebastian #1 (Mississippi Canyon 387) operated exploration well, the Orange #1 (Mississippi Canyon 216) non-operated exploration well, and the previously suspended exploration well at Hoffe Park #1 (Mississippi Canyon 166) in the Gulf of America). Lower dry hole costs were partially offset by higher exploration activity in Côte d'Ivoire. Lower income tax expense was due to lower net income for the period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, total hydrocarbon production was 189,035 barrels of oil equivalent per day, an increase of 2% compared to the same period in 2024. Higher production in the Eagle Ford Shale was primarily the result of new wells online in the current year in Karnes and Catarina. Higher production in Canada Onshore relates to better well performance at Tupper Montney. Lower production in the Gulf of America related to planned and unplanned downtime, and was partially offset by new wells online.

Murphy’s continuing operations generate revenues through the production and sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids in the United States and Canada. Changes in the price of crude oil and natural gas have a significant impact on the profitability of the Company. In order to make a profit and generate cash in its exploration and production business, revenue generated from the sales of oil and natural gas produced must exceed the combined costs of producing these products and expenses related to exploration, administration and capital borrowing from lending institutions and note holders. Geopolitical uncertainty surrounding domestic and foreign governmental regulations, including effects of trade policies, tariffs and other trade restrictions, can affect the demand for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, as well as the cost of oil field goods and services.

At September 30, 2025, the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil price was $62.37 per barrel, whereas the crude oil price at the end of October 2025 was $60.98, reflecting a 2% decrease in price. As of November 3, 2025 closing, the NYMEX WTI forward curve price for the remainder of 2025 was $61.05 per barrel. Reductions in commodity prices will reduce the Company’s future profits and operating cash flows.

Total revenue from production	$	721.0	$	753.2	$	2,076.8	$	2,345.3

Revenues from production for the three months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by $32.2 million compared to the same period in 2024. Revenues decreased primarily due to lower crude oil prices, reduced oil production in the Gulf of America from downtime relating to planned maintenance and ongoing workovers, and downtime in offshore Canada at Terra Nova and Hibernia related to well issues in the quarter. These reductions were partially offset by higher production at Karnes and Catarina in the Eagle Ford Shale related to better well performance and new wells online, and higher sales volumes at Cascade & Chinook in the Gulf of America.

Revenues from production for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, decreased $268.5 million compared to the same period in 2024. Lower revenues were primarily driven by lower crude oil prices, as well as decreased production in the Gulf of America due to well issues at Samurai, natural decline of new wells, and downtime for maintenance at Khaleesi. These decreases were partially offset by increased production in Eagle Ford Shale due to new wells at Karnes and Catarina, as well as in the Gulf of America at Mormont and Neidermeyer.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, lease operating expenses decreased by $38.5 million and transportation, gathering and processing expenses increased by $0.6 million compared to the same period in 2024. In the Gulf of America, decreases in lease operating expenses primarily related to lower production volumes and handling fees and lower operating charges as a result of the acquisition of the BW Pioneer FPSO. In addition, current quarter workover costs at Marmalard, Khaleesi and Samurai were lower than expenditures at Neidermeyer and Dalmatian in the prior year. In the Eagle Ford Shale, lower operating expenses were due to cost-savings initiatives including workforce reductions at the end of 2024, lower repairs and maintenance, and equipment optimization throughout the year, and were largely offset by higher production.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, lease operating expenses decreased by $111.8 million, and transportation, gathering and processing expenses decreased by $6.4 million compared to the same period in 2024. In the Gulf of America, decreases primarily related to lower workover costs due to expenditures at Neidermeyer and Dalmatian in the prior year, which were partially offset by current year workovers at Marmalard, Khaleesi and Samurai. Lower operating charges also occured as a result of the acquisition of the BW Pioneer FPSO earlier in the year. In the Eagle Ford Shale, lower operating costs resulted from cost-savings initiatives, including workforce reductions at the end of 2024, lower repairs and maintenance, and equipment optimizations, were partially offset by higher volume related costs.

DD&A for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $59.3 million compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes in the Eagle Ford Shale and higher rates at U.S. Offshore, partially offset by lower production in the Gulf of America.

DD&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $87.4 million. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volumes in the Eagle Ford Shale and higher rates at U.S. Offshore, partially offset by lower production in the Gulf of America.

Impairment of Assets

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company impaired assets for $115.0 million related to the partial write-down of the Dalmatian field in the Gulf of America due to reserve reductions in the quarter, as certain projects in the field were less competitive for capital allocation.

There were no impairments for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Impairment of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $34.5 million and related to the Calliope field in Mississippi Canyon in the Gulf of America, as a result of operational issues that led to a reserve reduction.

Exploration Expenses

The Company’s exploration expenses were as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Millions of dollars)	2025		2024		2025		2024
Exploration expenses
Dry holes and previously suspended exploration costs	$	0.8	$	11.2	$	0.1	$	69.5

Undeveloped lease amortization	2.9		1.9		6.8		7.7
Total exploration expenses, including undeveloped lease amortization	$	32.5	$	31.2	$	57.4	$	118.4

Exploration expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $1.3 million compared to the same period in 2024 due to higher geological and geophysical costs in the Gulf of America, and were partially offset by lower dry hole costs in the current period. Dry hole costs in 2024 related to the Sebastian #1 (Mississippi Canyon 387) operated exploration well in the Gulf of America that encountered non-commercial hydrocarbons.

Table of Contents

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Results of Operations (Continued)

Exploration expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $61.0 million compared to the same period in 2024. Lower exploration costs were primarily due to no dry holes recorded in 2025 (2024: Sebastian #1 (Mississippi Canyon 387) operated exploration well, the Orange #1 (Mississippi Canyon 216) non-operated exploration well, and the previously suspended exploration well at Hoffe Park #1 (Mississippi Canyon 166) in the Gulf of America). This was partially offset by higher exploration activity in Côte d'Ivoire.

Other

Other expenses from E&P continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $0.1 million compared to the same period in 2024. Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $17.7 million compared to the same period in 2024 due to no interest income received in the current year.

Income Taxes

Income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $3.0 million and $24.0 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024. Lower income tax for each period is primarily the result of lower net income.

Corporate

Corporate activities include interest expense and income, foreign exchange effects, realized and unrealized gains/losses on derivative instruments (forward swaps to hedge commodity price) and corporate overhead not allocated to E&P. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments result from changes in market natural gas prices relating to future periods whereby the swap contracts provided the Company with a fixed price.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Corporate segment reported a loss of $18.6 million, a favorable variance of $15.1 million, compared to the same period in 2024. The favorable variance was primarily due to a foreign exchange gain ($18.4 million) for the period, primarily relating to our Canadian subsidiary, combined with gains on derivative instruments ($3.9 million), and partially offset by higher income tax expense of $5.1 million.

The Corporate segment reported a loss of $122.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an unfavorable variance of $33.8 million, compared to the same period in 2024. The unfavorable variance was primarily due to higher foreign exchange losses ($31.5 million) and higher interest expense ($11.4 million) due to the timing of interest payments on long-term debt, and was partially offset by gains on derivative instruments ($8.4 million) due to fixed price sales contracts.

Financial Condition

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, net cash provided by continuing operations activities and available borrowing capacity under its senior unsecured RCF. The Company’s liquidity requirements, both in the short-term and long-term, consist primarily of capital expenditures, debt maturity, retirement and interest payments, working capital requirements, dividend payments, and, as applicable, share repurchases. The Company may, from time to time, redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire its outstanding notes through open market purchases, tender offers or pursuant to the terms of such securities. The Company believes that the primary sources of liquidity described above will be adequate to fund its liquidity needs over the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows

The following table presents the Company’s cash flows for the periods presented:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Millions of dollars)	2025		2024
Net cash provided (required) by:
Net cash provided by continuing operations activities	$	998.2	$	1,295.4
Net cash required by investing activities	(851.4)		(733.3)
Net cash required by financing activities	(143.9)		(608.8)

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(0.5)		0.8
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	2.4	$	(45.9)

Cash Provided by Continuing Operations Activities

Net cash provided by continuing operations activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $297.3 million lower compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in cash flows from operations activities was primarily due to lower revenue from production ($268.5 million), timing of non-cash working capital ($52.3 million) settlements, and an increase in selling and general expenses ($19.8 million), partially offset by lower lease operating expenses ($111.8 million).

Cash Required by Investing Activities

Net cash required by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $118.1 million higher compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to a gross payment of $125.0 million for the purchase of an FPSO in the Gulf of America and higher development drilling at Eagle Ford Shale, partially offset by lower development drilling at Gulf of America.

A reconciliation of “Property additions and dry hole costs” in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to total capital expenditures for continuing operations follows.


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Millions of dollars)	2025		2024
Property additions and dry hole costs per the cash flow statements	$	827.0	$	733.3

Acquisition of oil properties per the cash flow statements	24.4		—
Geophysical and other exploration expenses	46.8		35.5
Capital expenditure accrual changes and other	(30.6)		7.8
Total capital expenditures	$	867.6	$	776.6

Total accrual basis capital expenditures are shown below.


	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Capital Expenditures
Exploration and production	$	858.4	$	760.2
Corporate	9.2		16.4
Total capital expenditures	$	867.6	$	776.6

Higher capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 were primarily attributable to the FPSO purchase in the Gulf of America and higher development drilling in the Eagle Ford Shale related to new wells online. Also contributing to the increase were higher exploratory drilling and field development in Vietnam, which included progressing the LDV-A platform jacket installation and pipe-laying campaign. These increases were partially offset by lower exploration costs and development drilling

costs in the Gulf of America due to prior year spend on the non-operated Ocotillo #1 (Mississippi Canyon 40) and Orange #1 (Mississippi Canyon 216) exploration wells, and Khaleesi development costs, respectively.

Capital expenditures in 2025 primarily relate to development drilling and field development activities in the Gulf of America ($257.6 million), Eagle Ford Shale ($296.4 million), Tupper Montney and Kaybob Duvernay ($113.0 million), and in Vietnam ($57.7 million). Exploration costs in 2025 were $90.9 million, primarily comprised of activities in Vietnam for the Lac Da Hong-1X (Pink Camel), Block 15-1/05; and Hai Su Vang-1X (Golden Sea Lion), Block 15-2/17 exploration wells, activities in the Gulf of America related to long lead equipment purchases for the Cello #1 (Mississippi Canyon 385) and Banjo #1 (Mississippi Canyon 385) exploration wells, and activities in Côte d'Ivoire related to long lead equipment purchases for the Bubale-1X (Block CI-709), Civette-1X (Block CI-502), and Caracal-1X (Block CI-102) exploration wells.

Cash Required by Financing Activities

Net cash required by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $464.9 million compared to the same period in 2024.

In 2025, the cash required by financing activities was principally for the repurchase of common shares ($102.6 million), year-to-date cash dividends to shareholders of $0.975 per share ($139.8 million), and distributions to the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM ($43.2 million), and was partially offset by net borrowings on the senior unsecured RCF ($150.0 million).

In 2024, cash required by financing activities was for the repurchase of common shares ($300.1 million), cash dividends to shareholders ($136.2 million), distributions to the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM ($96.6 million), debt repurchases ($50.0 million), and withholding tax on stock-based incentive awards ($25.3 million).

Liquidity

At September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $1.6 billion of liquidity consisting of $426.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1,199.6 million available on its committed senior unsecured RCF with a major banking consortium.

The Company’s $1.35 billion senior unsecured RCF expires in October 2029. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $150.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the RCF and $0.4 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduce the borrowing capacity of the RCF. At September 30, 2025, the interest rate in effect on borrowings under the RCF was 6.48%. At September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the RCF.

Cash and invested cash are maintained in several operating locations outside the U.S. As of September 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents held outside the U.S. included U.S. dollar equivalents of approximately $67.4 million, the majority of which was held in Canada ($28.9 million), Mexico ($8.0 million), the U.K. ($7.4 million) and Vietnam ($6.7 million). In certain cases, the Company could incur cash taxes or other costs should these cash balances be repatriated to the U.S. in future periods. Canada currently collects a 5% withholding tax on any earnings repatriated to the U.S.

Working Capital


(Millions of dollars)	September 30, 2025		December 31, 2024
Working capital
Total current assets	$	807.5	$	785.3
Total current liabilities	857.7		942.8
Net working capital liability	$	(50.2)	$	(157.5)

As of September 30, 2025, net working capital increased by $107.3 million compared to December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to lower current operating lease obligations ($42.4 million), lower accounts payable ($42.5 million), and higher accounts receivable ($11.2 million).

Lower lease obligations were due to lower day rates related to an offshore drilling rig, ongoing lease amortization and the absence of lease rental payments related to the BW Pioneer FPSO in the Gulf of America.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Financial Condition (Continued)

Higher accounts receivable were due to higher tax receivables related to increased Vietnam development and exploration expenditures. Lower cash and equivalents were due to lower net income, the BW Pioneer FPSO purchase, and returns to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends. Lower accounts payable related to higher production in the Eagle Ford Shale.

Capital Employed

A summary of capital employed at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 follows.


	September 30, 2025				December 31, 2024

Other Key Performance Metrics

The Company uses other operational performance and income metrics to review operational performance.

Management uses adjusted net income, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and exploration expenses (EBITDAX) and adjusted EBITDAX internally to evaluate the Company’s operational performance and trends between periods and relative to its industry competitors. Adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDAX exclude certain items that management believes affect the comparability of results between periods. Management believes this information may be useful to investors and analysts to gain a better understanding of the Company’s financial results. Adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDAX and adjusted EBITDAX are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered substitutes for net income (loss) or cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Management uses free cash flow (FCF) and adjusted FCF internally as additional measures of liquidity 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.

Outlook

The oil and natural gas industry is impacted by global commodity pricing and as a result the prices for the Company’s primary products are often volatile and are affected by the levels of supply and demand for energy. As discussed in the “Results of Operations” section discussing revenues, on page 36, lower average crude oil and higher natural gas pricing during the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 directly impacted the Company’s product sales revenue.

As of close on November 3, 2025, forward price curves for existing forward contracts for the remainder of 2025 and 2026 are shown in the following table.



	2025	2026
WTI ($/BBL)	61.05	60.37
NYMEX ($/MMBTU)	4.27	4.13
AECO (US$ Equivalent/MCF)	2.52	2.39

In late June 2025, Shell Canada Energy announced its first cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipped from the Kitimat facility in British Columbia. Increases in export levels of Canadian liquefied natural gas would impact our natural gas-weighted Canadian business.

In April 2025, the U.S. government announced a baseline tariff of 10% on products imported from all countries and an additional individualized reciprocal tariff on the countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits. Increased tariffs by the United States have led and may continue to lead to the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the U.S. government has announced and rescinded multiple tariffs on several foreign jurisdictions, which has increased uncertainty regarding the ultimate effect of the tariffs on economic conditions. In August 2025, however, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that many of the tariffs imposed under the Trump Administration exceed presidential authority and therefore are invalid, though the decision has been stayed pending U.S. Supreme Court review. This ruling introduces additional uncertainty as to the scope and durability of existing and future tariff measures. Current uncertainties about tariffs and their effects on trading relationships may affect costs for and availability of goods and services used in E&P operations or contribute to inflation in the countries in which we operate. Although we are continuing to monitor the economic effects of such announcements and developments, as well as opportunities to mitigate their related impacts, costs and other effects associated with the tariffs remain uncertain.

We cannot predict what impact economic factors (including, but not limited to, inflation, global conflicts, trade policies, tariffs, other trade restrictions, and possible economic recession) may have on future commodity pricing and future costs for goods and services in the E&P operations. Lower prices or higher costs, should they occur, will result in lower profits and operating cash flows and could result in material future impairment charges.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, production is expected to average between 176.0 and 184.0 thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day, excluding noncontrolling interest.

The Company’s capital expenditures for 2025 are expected to be between $1,135 million and $1,285 million, excluding noncontrolling interest. This includes net acquisition capital of $104 million for the BW Pioneer FPSO in the Gulf of America, and excludes $23.0 million for the purchase of additional working interests in Eagle Ford Shale acreage primarily operated by Murphy. The Company remains on schedule to commence a three-well exploration program in Côte d’Ivoire in the fourth quarter of 2025, consisting of the Civette-1X (Block CI-502), Caracal-1X (Block CI-102), and Bubale-1X (Block CI-709) wells. Murphy is also continuing the drilling of the Hai Su Vang-2X (Golden Sea Lion) appraisal well in Block 15-2/17, offshore Vietnam, with results anticipated in the fourth quarter. The Cello #1 (Mississippi Canyon 385) and Banjo #1 (Mississippi Canyon 385) exploration wells in the Gulf of America will also be drilled in the fourth quarter of 2025. Finally, we will continue field development activities in Vietnam at Lac Da Vang (Golden Camel), Block 15-1/05, with scheduled first oil anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Capital and other expenditures are routinely reviewed and planned capital expenditures may be adjusted to reflect differences between budgeted and forecast cash flow during the year. Capital expenditures may also be affected by asset purchases or sales, which often are not anticipated at the time a budget is prepared. The Company will primarily fund its capital program in 2025 using operating cash flow and available cash. If oil and/

or natural gas prices weaken, actual cash flow generated from operations could be reduced such that capital spending reductions are required and/or additional borrowings under available credit facilities might be required during the year to maintain funding of the Company’s ongoing development projects.

The Company plans to utilize any surplus cash (not planned to be used by operations, investing activities, dividends or payment to noncontrolling interests) in accordance with the Company’s capital allocation plan designed to allow for additional shareholder returns and debt reduction. Details of the plan can be found in the “Capital Allocation” section of the Company’s Form 8-K filed on May 7, 2025. Based on current market conditions and our planned exploration and appraisal program, the Company is currently more likely to use available adjusted Free Cash Flow for share repurchases than bond repayment.

On July 4, 2025, the current U.S. Administration signed into law the OBBBA legislation, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting corporations. The OBBBA, among other changes, permanently reinstates the "bonus" depreciation provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of 100% of the cost of certain qualified property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, permanently reinstates the elective immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures paid or incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2024 (with a special transition rule that allows accelerated deduction of the remaining unamortized balance of capitalized domestic research and experimental expenditures), and permanently relaxes the limitation on the deductibility of business interest effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. The OBBBA also modifies certain international tax provisions effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. The Company evaluated the effects of the OBBBA in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, and determined that the legislation did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2025. The Company will continue to monitor any subsequent regulatory guidance related to the OBBBA.

On August 8, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program whereby the Company can repurchase up to $1,100 million of the Company’s common stock, of which $550 million remains available to repurchase as of September 30, 2025.

The Company continues to monitor the impact of commodity prices on its financial position and is currently in compliance with the covenants related to the senior unsecured RCF (see Note E).

As of November 3, 2025, the Company has entered into forward fixed price delivery contracts to manage risk associated with certain future oil and natural gas sales prices as follows:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risks associated with prices of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. As described in Note L, Murphy periodically makes use of derivative financial and commodity instruments to manage risks associated with existing or anticipated transactions.

Commodity Price Risk

There were commodity-based derivative contracts in place as of September 30, 2025, covering certain future U.S. natural gas sales volumes in 2025. A 10% increase in the respective benchmark price of these commodities would have decreased the net receivable associated with these derivative contracts by approximately $1.8 million, while a 10% decrease in the respective benchmark price would have increased the recorded net receivable by a similar amount.

Foreign Exchange Risk

There were no derivative foreign exchange contracts in place at September 30, 2025.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s senior unsecured RCF provides for variable interest rate borrowings. As of September 30, 2025, we had $150.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the RCF. Assuming no change in the amount of borrowings outstanding under the RCF, a 10% increase in the average interest rate would have increased our quarterly interest expense by approximately $0.3 million. Actual results may vary due to changes in the amount of variable rate debt outstanding.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the direction of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, controls and procedures have been established by the Company to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to the officers who certify the Company’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.

Based on the Company’s evaluation as of the end of the period covered by the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of Murphy Oil Corporation have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by Murphy Oil Corporation in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
