−Removed: Murphy Oil Corporation’s net income from continuing operations, including noncontrolling interest, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $151.7 million, a decrease of $126.5 million compared to the same period in 2023.
−Removed: Lower net income from continuing operations was driven primarily by lower revenues from production ($192.7 million), higher lease operating expenses ($29.5 million), and lower other income ($12.7 million), and was partially offset by lower income tax expense ($76.0 million), lower transportation, gathering and processing expenses ($14.1 million), and lower depreciation, depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses ($13.9 million).
−Removed: Lower revenues were primarily driven by lower oil production in the U.S., combined with lower oil prices.
−Removed: Higher lease operating expenses relate primarily to workover projects in the Gulf of Mexico.
−Removed: Lower other income represents unrealized foreign exchange losses.
−Removed: Lower income tax expense in the current period is driven primarily by lower operating income, in addition to an income tax deduction for prior years’ Australia exploration spend.
−Removed: Lower transportation, gathering and processing expenses and lower depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses were both driven by lower production in the U.S.
−Removed: For the three months ended September 30, 2024 total hydrocarbon production was 191,273 barrels of oil equivalent per day, a decrease of 8% compared to the third quarter of 2023.

+Added: Murphy also strives to create long-term shareholder value through offshore exploration and development in the Gulf of America, Vietnam and Côte d’Ivoire.
+Added: The analysis and discussion in this section includes amounts attributable to a noncontrolling interest in MP GOM, unless otherwise noted.
+Added: Significant Company financial and operational highlights during the first quarter of 2025 were as follows:
+Added: • Drilled an oil discovery at Lac Da Hong-1X (Pink Camel) in offshore Vietnam and encountered 106 feet of net oil pay from one reservoir
+Added: • Closed the strategic acquisition of the BW Pioneer FPSO in the Gulf of America for $125.0 million gross purchase price
+Added: • Paid quarterly dividend of $0.325 per share or $1.30 per share annualized
+Added: • Repurchased $100.0 million ($100.9 million including excise taxes and fees) of common stock, or 3.6 million shares
+Added: Murphy Oil Corporation’s net income from continuing operations, including noncontrolling interest, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $90.0 million, a decrease of $25.6 million compared to the same period of 2024.
+Added: Lower net income from continuing operations was largely driven by lower revenues from production ($121.9 million) and was partially offset by lower impairment of assets ($34.5 million), lower exploration expenses ($29.9 million), and lower lease operating expenses ($29.2 million).
+Added: Lower revenues were primarily driven by lower crude oil production in the U.S., resulting from workover and turnaround-related downtime, and well performance, combined with lower crude oil prices.
+Added: This was partially offset by increased crude oil sales at Canada Offshore, as 2024 had lower production build-up following the completion of the non-operated Terra Nova asset life extension project.
+Added: In 2024, there were asset impairment charges relating to the Calliope field in Mississippi Canyon in the Gulf of America, as a result of operational issues that led to a reserve reduction.
+Added: Lower lease operating expenses were primarily driven by lower sales volumes in the U.S.
+Added: and lower operating costs at the non-operated Terra Nova field as 2024 had higher asset restart costs, partially offset by increased sales volumes at the non-operated Terra Nova field.
+Added: Exploration expenses decreased in 2025, as 2024 had additional expenses for dry holes and previously suspended exploration costs relating to Hoffe Park #1 (Mississippi Canyon 166) exploration well and costs related to the non-operated Oso #1 (Atwater Valley 138) exploration well in the Gulf of America.
+Added: For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total hydrocarbon production was 163,374 barrels of oil equivalent per day, a decrease of 8% compared to the first quarter of 2024.
+Added: The decrease was principally due to lower production in the U.S., partially offset by higher production in Canada.
+Added: Decreases in the Gulf of America resulted from workover and turnaround-related downtime, and well performance, while decreases in the Eagle Ford Shale were due to natural decline and well downtime related to workovers and winter weather.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Overview (Continued)
−Removed: Murphy Oil Corporation’s net income from continuing operations, including noncontrolling interest, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $424.1 million, a decrease of $160.6 million compared to the same period of 2023.
−Removed: Lower net income from continuing operations was largely driven by lower revenues from production ($196.7 million), higher lease operating expenses ($129.2 million), and higher impairment of assets ($34.5 million).
−Removed: These were partially offset by lower income tax expense ($102.0 million), lower exploration expenses ($34.1 million), higher other income ($32.8 million), lower interest expense on long-term debt ($26.4 million), and lower transportation, gathering and processing expenses ($17.8 million).
−Removed: Lower revenues from production were primarily driven by downtime in the Gulf of Mexico and Eagle Ford Shale and lower natural gas prices, partially offset by higher year-to-date oil prices, higher production in Canada due to the restart of production at Terra Nova in late 2023, and well performance, combined with lower royalty rates at Tupper Montney.
−Removed: Higher lease operating expenses were primarily due to workovers in the Gulf of Mexico and higher production activity in Canada at Terra Nova, partially offset by lower production handling (PHA) fees in the Gulf of Mexico.
−Removed: Impairment charges related to the Calliope field were recorded in the first quarter of 2024.
−Removed: The decrease in income tax expense primarily relates to lower income tax expenses driven by lower overall income, in addition to an income tax deduction for prior years’ Australia exploration spend.
−Removed: Exploration expense in the current period was primarily due to dry hole expense recorded for multiple wells in the Gulf of Mexico, including Sebastian #1 (Mississippi Canyon 387) and Orange #1 (Mississippi Canyon 216), additional costs related to the Oso #1 (Atwater Valley 138) well, and for previously suspended exploration costs related to an expired lease at Hoffe Park #1 (Mississippi Canyon 166).
−Removed: Higher other income related to unrealized foreign exchange gains and interest income on several outstanding joint interest receivables.
−Removed: Lower interest expense was due to lower debt levels and lower transportation, gathering and processing expenses related to lower production in the U.S.
−Removed: For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 total hydrocarbon production was 185,286 barrels of oil equivalent per day, a decrease of 4% compared to the same period in 2023.
−Removed: The decrease was principally due to lower production in the U.S., primarily in the Gulf of Mexico due to downtime for workovers, and in the Eagle Ford Shale, due to timing of new wells.
−Removed: Decreases in the U.S.
−Removed: were partially offset by increases in Canada at both Tupper Montney, due to new wells online, and Terra Nova, which restarted production in late 2023.
+Added: production in Canada primarily related to the non-operated Terra Nova field following the asset resuming operations.
+Added: 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.
+Added: Changes in the price of crude oil and natural gas have a significant impact on the profitability of the Company.
+Added: 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.
+Added: Geopolitical uncertainty surrounding domestic and foreign governmental regulations, including effects of trade policies, tariffs and other trade restrictions, can affect the demand of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, as well as the cost of oil field goods and services.
+Added: For the three months ended March 31, 2025, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil price at the end of the first quarter of 2025 was $71.48 per barrel, whereas the crude oil price at the end of April 2025 was $58.21, reflecting a 19% reduction in price.
+Added: The average sales price in April 2025 was $63.79 per barrel.
+Added: As of May 5, 2025 closing, the NYMEX WTI forward curve price for remainder of 2025 was $56.46 per barrel.
