All forward-looking statements contained in this announcement are
expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements
contained or referred to in this section. Readers should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Additional risk
factors that may affect future results are contained in Shell plc’s
Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023 (available at
www.shell.com/investors/news-and-filings/sec-filings.html and

forward-looking statements contained in this announcement and
should be considered by the reader. Each forward-looking
statement speaks only as of the date of this announcement, August

any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statement as a result of new information, future events or other
information. In light of these risks, results could differ

forward-looking statements contained in this announcement.
Shell’s Net Carbon
Intensity
Also, in this announcement we may refer to
Shell’s “Net Carbon Intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon
emissions from the production of our energy products, our
suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production
and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of
the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the
emissions associated with the production and use of energy products
produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only
controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “Net
Carbon Intensity” or NCI are for convenience only and not intended
to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its
subsidiaries.
Shell’s net-zero emissions
target
Shell’s operating plan, outlook and budgets are
forecasted for a ten-year period and are updated every year. They
reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably
expect to see over the next ten years. Accordingly, they reflect
our Scope 1, Scope 2 and NCI targets over the next ten years.
However, Shell’s operating plans cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero
emissions target, as this target is currently outside our planning
period. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions,
we expect Shell’s operating plans to reflect this movement.
However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there
would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.
Forward-Looking non-GAAP
measures
This announcement may contain certain
forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as cash capital expenditure
and divestments. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these
forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP
financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile
those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial
measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside
the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates
and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with
the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful
reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished
without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future
periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP
financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent
with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated
financial statements.
The contents of websites referred to in this
announcement do not form part of this announcement.
We may have used certain terms, such as
resources, in this announcement that the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including
in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider
closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available
on the SEC website www.sec.gov.
