Rosneft Oil Company (hereinafter – Rosneft, the Company) announces its results for Q1 2026 prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

| RUB bln | |||
| Revenues from sales and equity share in profits of associates and joint ventures | 2,032 | 1,948 | 4.3% |

Commenting on the results for Q1 2026, Rosneft’s Chairman of the Management Board and Chief Executive Officer Igor Sechin said:
"In 2026, the oil industry is operating under the conditions of extreme price volatility. The stagnation observed in January-February has given way to a price rally in March driven by escalating tensions in the Middle East. At the same time, the industry continues to face significant operational risks. These primarily include restrictions imposed by Transneft on crude intake into the pipeline system, disruptions to export terminals, and attacks on the Company's facilities, including refineries, tank farms, and pumping stations. Given the above, the Company is assessing the need to provision for potential assets impairments, which could adversely impact financial results.
In this environment, the Company's revenue in the reporting quarter of 2026 increased by 4% quarter-on-quarter, with EBITDA demonstrating a significant 37% increase driven by cost control and seasonal factors.
Meanwhile, transportation costs – directly tied to tariff hikes by natural monopolies – remained stably high. The long-standing practice of indexing tariffs above inflation exacerbates inflationary risks and stifles real economic growth.
Prioritizing shareholder interests remains Rosneft's top priority. On May 12, the Board of Directors recommended that the General Shareholders Meeting pass a resolution on the payment of final dividends. As the macroeconomic environment stabilizes and both production volumes and profits grow, we will strive to increase the income of our shareholders".

Production drilling footage exceeded 18,000 meters and five development wells were completed. Pilot production commenced at the Peschaniy license area of the Payakha field.
In preparation for the 2026 technical launch, over 700 km of oil pipeline, including a 422 km dual-pipe section, were fully welded and laid to design elevations as of the end of March. Cleaning, calibration, and pressure testing of the pipeline are nearing completion.
Two cargo berths and a berth for the port fleet at the Sever Bay Port terminal are prepared to accept vessels. The construction of the first oil loading berth is at a high readiness posture, while the filling and construction of process structures at the second berth continues. The final stages of construction are in progress at the site facilities to launch external transport system of the Vostok Oil project.
Refining
Oil refining throughput in Q1 2026 amounted to 18.9 mln tons, a 5.2% increase quarter-on-quarter. The increase in refining throughput was driven by the renewal of operations at some refineries following turnaround and maintenance works at the end of 2025.

Sustainable supply of high-quality motor fuel to Russian consumers is one of Rosneft's key priorities. In Q1 2026, the Company sold 9.7 mln tons of petroleum products on the domestic market, including 3.1 mln tons of gasoline and 3.7 mln tons of diesel fuel.
