27 MAY 2020
GENERAL AND DISCLAIMER
Except as the context otherwise indicates, ’Neptune’ or ‘Neptune Energy’, ‘Group’, ‘we’, ‘us’, and ‘our’, refers to the group of companies comprising Neptune Energy Group Midco Limited (‘the Company’) and its consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investments. ‘EPI’ refers to the business of ENGIE E&P International S.A. (now renamed Neptune Energy International S.A.) and its direct or indirect subsidiaries. In this report, unless otherwise indicated, our production, reserves and resources figures are presented on a basis including our ownership share of volumes of companies that we account for under the equity accounting method, in particular, for the interest held in the Touat project in Algeria through a joint venture company. Production for interests held under production sharing contracts is reported on an appropriate unit of production basis. The discussion in this report includes forward-looking statements which, although based on assumptions that we consider reasonable, are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or conditions to materially differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking
the date of such statements or information, including, among other things, assumptions with respect to production, future capital expenditures and cash flow, we caution you that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information may prove to be incorrect and no assurance can be given that our expectations, or the assumptions underlying these expectations, will prove to be correct. Any forward-looking statements that we make in this report speak only as of the date of such statement or the date of this report. This report contains non-GAAP and non-IFRS measures and ratios that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, any generally accepted accounting principles (‘GAAP’) or IFRS. These non-IFRS and non-GAAP measures and ratios may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our
liquidity under IFRS or GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit or profit from continuing operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS or GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities.

People and operations
Strong Q1 operational performance, despite challenges of COVID-19 and lower commodity prices – Materially higher quarterly production – Limited impact from COVID-19 on our operations – Programmes in place to support employees, contractors, suppliers and local communities
Projects
New project schedules in response to COVID-19 and lower commodity prices – Some project delays related to COVID-19; 2020 capex reduced as a result of deferred activity – New project schedules lower production outlook in 2021 and 2022 – Agreed to terminate the acquisition of Edison E&P’s UK and Norwegian subsidiaries saving ~$460 million in 2020
Cost reductions
Good progress delivering cost and capex reduction measures; targeting $300-400 million in 2020 – Realised a significant proportion of cost reductions – Identifying further potential reductions in both capex and opex – Managing value over volume ▪ Strengthened liquidity to ~$1.7 billion through increase in RBL borrowing base ▪ Free cash flow in 2020 protected through hedging and cost reductions ▪ Lower expected leverage
Robust financial position Consistent growth profile
▪ Expect to achieve production growth from existing projects until 2023 ▪ Production shifted into higher expected price environment ▪ Targeting 200 kboepd in the medium term

STRONG OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE IN Q1 2020
▪ Strong production due to start-up of the Troll C Gas Module and recommencement of the Mossmoran Ethylene plant ▪ Rescheduled shutdown programme with deferrals until 2021 ▪ Reported production higher due to change in Group conversion factors; underlying performance below plan due to offtake constraints ▪ Discoveries at Schwegenheim, Ringe-6 and Adorf-Z15. Ringe-6 and Adorf-Z15 to be brought onstream in 2020 ▪ Production impacted by shutdowns and delayed compressor project; positive contribution from new wells ▪ Start-up of the cross border Sillimanite field contributing to UK and Netherlands production ▪ Strong production reflecting high export availability ▪ Material discovery at Isabella – post well studies underway, with results to be incorporated in appraisal plan Algeria ▪ Touat production higher with fewer start- up related issues; plant now operating at plateau capacity Egypt ▪ Production in Egypt ahead of plan ▪ 3D seismic acquired in Gulf of Suez Indonesia ▪ Strong production, with annual volumes front-loaded; second pipeline tie-in project completed ▪ Curtailments at the start of Q2 Australia ▪ Acquisition of 3D seismic

Hedged volumes and prices reflect the April to December 2020 period 3. Hedged volumes includes swaps and puts 4. Post-tax hedge ratio reflects our equity production volumes, whereas our RBL hedging obligations exclude certain volumes

– Net profit broadly stable despite lower revenues – Operating costs below guidance due to delivery of our cost reduction measures; FY
– Lower G&A costs reflect cost efficiency programme and one-off R&D credits – Higher exploration write-off due to unsuccessful Grind well in Norway – Higher taxed production in Norway provides ‘natural hedge’ to commodity prices – Asset impairment review to be conducted in Q2
