Revenue came in at $65.41 billion, edging past estimates by just enough to underline the scale of the year-on-year decline, with sales slipping 12.2% compared to the same period a year ago. The primary culprit was a combination of lower realised liquids and gas prices alongside deteriorating chemicals and refining margins, which pushed the Chemicals and Products segment to a loss of $174.00 million for the quarter. Income attributable to shareholders fell 25% sequentially to $3.60 billion, while Adjusted EBITDA dropped 13% to $13.31 billion. Despite the headline weakness, operating cash flow reached $11.94 billion and Shell announced a fresh $3.50 billion buyback programme. Looking ahead, the company guided Q3 Upstream production of 1,700 to 1,900 thousand boe/d, while a pension-related OCI charge of approximately $4.65 billion looms for the coming quarter.

Key Takeaways

  • Lower trading and optimisation margins across Integrated Gas and Chemicals and Products
  • Lower realised liquids and gas prices in Upstream and Integrated Gas
  • Higher Marketing margins driven by improved Mobility unit margins and seasonal volume increases
  • Lower operating expenses across segments contributing to $3.9 billion cumulative structural cost reductions since 2022
  • Refinery utilisation improved to 94% from 85% in Q1 due to lower maintenance
  • Chemicals manufacturing plant utilisation declined to 72% from 81% due to higher maintenance
