These statements may be identified by words such as &lsquo;expect&rsquo;, &lsquo;should&rsquo;, &lsquo;could&rsquo;, &lsquo;shall&rsquo; and / or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The principal risks which could affect the future operations of SBM Offshore N.V. are described in the &lsquo;Impacts, Risks and Opportunities&rsquo; section of the 2025 Annual Report.</p><p>Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and performance of the Company&rsquo;s business may vary materially and adversely from the forward-looking statements described in this release.

These limitations include but are not limited to reliance on third party data providers whose data quality, completeness and integrity may differ; the use of estimates and assumptions where actual data is unavailable or incomplete; and dependencies on value chain partners for timely and accurate information provision. Methodologies, standards and regulatory requirements for measuring and reporting information&mdash;especially sustainability related information&mdash;continue to evolve. As a result, our measurement approaches and reported figures may be refined over time as more accurate, granular or standardized data becomes available. Accordingly, all data, and emissions data in particular, should be interpreted in light of these limitations and the ongoing maturation of sustainability reporting practices across our value chain.</p><p>This release contains certain alternative performance measures (APMs) as defined by the ESMA guidelines which are not defined under IFRS.
