18 March 2026 Genel Energy plc Audited results for the year ended 31 December 2025 Genel Energy plc (‘Genel’ or ‘the Company’) announces its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2025. Paul Weir, Chief Executive of Genel, said: “We have established an ever more resilient business with significant upside potential, and we are now well-placed to deliver value to our shareholders and build a business that generates resilient, diversified and predictable cash flows that will support the resumption of distributions to shareholders. In 2025 we made good progress on a range of fronts: our business continued to generate double digit USD millions of production business free cash flow, and we reported bottom line positive free cash flow to improve our net cash position, with excellent progress being made on reorganising the business. We successfully exited three unprofitable licences in Kurdistan and two in Africa, without incurring any new exit payments or retaining potential liability exposures. We also refinanced our bond, de-risking funding for delivery on future strategic priorities. We continue to maintain a strong focus on rigorous capital allocation. Since regional hostilities began two weeks ago, production has been temporarily halted from Tawke. A state of readiness has been maintained to allow a production restart as soon as it is safe to do so. At this moment, our guidance for 2026 remains unchanged from our January trading statement. Our key focus remains acquiring new assets to diversify our cash generation, and participating in exports from Kurdistan, whilst ensuring that we maintain the right balance between risk and reward. Operationally, our organic portfolio, where there remains significant unvalued potential, is well-positioned to deliver progress this year, with planned drilling at Tawke targeting additions to both production and reserves, a clear plan for de-risking Block 54 in Oman and tangible progress towards drilling the Toosan-1 well in Somaliland.” Results summary ($ million unless stated)

The Company continues to monitor developments closely to assess when it can safely and securely resume operations Tawke generated predictable production with consistent domestic sales demand, resulting in working interest production of 17,520 bopd (2024: 19,650 bopd), with all production sold domestically Domestic sales price averaged $32/bbl for the year (2024: $35/bbl), with all cash due for domestic sales received before the end of the year Production was temporarily stopped in July following the drone attacks on a number of Kurdistan oil operations, including Tawke, with gross production back to around 80,000 bopd by November Production business netback of $10 million (2024: $5 million) and free cash flow of $4 million (2024: $20 million). Closing net cash of $134 million (2024: $131 million) Cash of $224 million (2024: $196 million) Bond debt of $92 million due in 2030 (2024: $66 million) In late September, agreements were signed between the Federal Government of Iraq (‘FGI’), the Kurdistan Regional Government (the ‘KRG’) and a group of international oil companies to resume exports of crude oil produced in Kurdistan through the Iraq-Türkiye Pipeline. Genel chose not to participate at that point and continues to keep exports under review, with participating parties reporting that the process is working in line with expectation Balances with the KRG $88 million (under KBT pricing and excluding interest) remains overdue from the KRG, although this has been reduced by about $40 million credit balances. We continue to work towards a plan for payment or settlement of amounts owed, and appropriate adjustment for price and interest Not included in the $40 million, Genel Energy Miran Bina Bawi Limited, a subsidiary of the group, owes the KRG around $26 million relating to an arbitration legal fees charge, an appeal against which will be held in April in London Exits from the Sarta, Qara Dagh and Taq Taq licences finalised with no residual liability exposure. We have also exited the Lagzira licence in Morocco and the Odewayne licence in Somaliland, again with no residual liability exposure A socially responsible contributor to the global energy mix: Portfolio carbon intensity under 14.4 kgCO2e/bbl, remaining below the industry average target Climate disclosure: maintained a CDP Climate rating of B for a fourth consecutive year The Genel20 Scholarship programme has entered its fourth year, where Genel is providing university tuition funding for undergraduates from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq In Somaliland, Genel continued to engage with local communities through its social investments focused on healthcare in rural areas and supporting local education OUTLOOK With Tawke domestic market sales expected to be consistent, and with production expected to benefit from new drilling in FY 2026, we expect production business netback to more than cover Genel’s costs, which include net interest payable Incremental to the production business, the Company expects to invest up to $20 million on its pre-production assets: On Block 54 in Oman, in line with the 3-year initial exploration phase work plan, which includes 3D seismic acquisition and drilling two wells, as we announced at the time of entering the licence in the first half of 2025 SL10B13 in Somaliland, as we make progress towards drilling the Toosan-1 prospect in 2027 The Company continues to progress towards building a business with a strong balance sheet that delivers resilient, reliable, repeatable and diversified cash flows that support a dividend programme.

CEO STATEMENT We entered 2025 having established the necessary building blocks to transform the value delivery prospects of this business. The three key pillars at the centre of our strategy are: Maintaining the resilience of our business, by being as efficient as possible and by carefully managing risk Getting the most value from our existing portfolio, primarily by accessing international exports for our production and by investing wisely in our current assets, and finally Diversifying our cash generation, by acquiring new assets The resilience of our business has been improved. Our cash generation from the Tawke PSC has been predictable and resilient. There has been successful optimisation of spend and strong operational performance, resulting in production levels being maintained despite no new wells adding to production in the year and very low annual spend. Towards the end of the year, drilling recommenced for the first time since the pipeline shut in March 2023 and we are excited about the potential for additions to both production and reserves that can be unlocked by an appropriate work programme over the next year. Towards the end of 2025, a number of Kurdistan IOCs commenced exports under a new interim arrangement with the Federal Government of Iraq (‘FGI’) and the Kurdistan Regional Government (‘KRG’). We see this as significant progress and, although we continue to sell domestically, we keep our position regarding exporting oil under review. In the meantime, the cash we generate immediately from local sales helps maintain our balance sheet strength and fund the resumption of drilling activity on the licence. We have successfully continued our process to exit legacy assets and financial obligations that would not contribute to delivering value for our shareholders. On Taq Taq, Sarta and Qara Dagh, we have now concluded our exit from these licences with no incremental cost. We have also exited the Lagzira licence in Morocco and the Odewayne licence in Somaliland. These exits have removed non-productive spend and we retain no liability exposure going forward. From a balance sheet point of view, we issued a new 5-year bond in April, replacing the previous bond that was due to mature in October 2025. We now have a production business that generates double digit free cash flow from domestic sales and a significant cash balance that de-risks funding for fulfilment of our strategic objectives. With regard to acquiring new assets, we have been very active this year originating, developing, and bidding on opportunities. We will continue to remain active and disciplined to ensure that we invest our cash only on assets that offer the appropriate resilience and production potential, and at a level that will be value accretive. The Company continues to progress towards building a business that maintains a strong balance sheet, and delivers resilient, reliable, repeatable, and diversified cash flows that support a dividend programme. The Company’s objectives for the year on the path to building that business include: acquisition of new assets to add reserves and diversify our cash generation restart of exports of Tawke oil to access international pricing pursuit of net amounts owed by the KRG safe execution of activity on Block 54 further progress towards drilling Toosan-1 OPERATING REVIEW Overview of production and reserves

Working interest average production of 17,520 bopd was lower than last year (2024: 19,650 bopd) as a result of the interruption from the drone strikes in July, with all production sold into the domestic market at average of $32/bbl (2024: $35/bbl). Reserves and resources development Genel's key performance indicator of proven plus probable (2P) net working interest reserves totalled 64 MMbbls (31 December 2024: 82 MMbbls) at the end of 2025.

Disposals resulted in a reduction in 2P reserves for the divestment of Taq Taq licence in Kurdistan Region of Iraq (‘KRI’) and in prospective resources for the exit from the Lagzira licence in Morocco. Acquisitions saw a small addition to prospective resources from Block 54 in Oman. PRODUCING ASSETS Tawke PSC (25% working interest) The Tawke PSC, comprising both the Tawke field discovered in 2006, and the Peshkabir field discovered in 2013, remain the cornerstone of the Company’s cash generation. In December 2025, the combined production from both fields reached 500 MMbbls, a significant milestone marking more than two decades of safe and sustainable production operations. With gross 2P remaining reserves of 254 MMbbls and additional development opportunities under evaluation to add more, the Tawke PSC remains a world-class asset. In Q4 2025, the Joint Venture partnership agreed plans to restart investment drilling in the PSC following a 2-year hiatus since the 2023 export pipeline shutdown. The first well was spudded in December 2025, with additional rigs added since then and the campaign now well underway. This return to investment via a multi-rig programme underscores our confidence in the resource potential of the asset. Despite no new wells being added in the last few years, gross production from these fields has been maintained at around 80,000 bopd as a result of an active and diligent production optimisation approach by the Operator. In 2025 in particular, a focused campaign of well interventions and workovers yielded a series of incremental gains that were crucial in offsetting natural decline, leading to run rate production being higher than the previous year’s average without any additional well stock.
On 16 July 2025, the Operator reported a number of drone-related security incidents across the licence area, that resulted in asset damage to a crude oil tank at Tawke and surface processing equipment at Peshkabir. There were no injuries to personnel and environmental impact was minimal but operations at the Tawke licence were temporarily suspended for damage assessment. Following a partial restart and a period of repair and reinstatement, the Operator was able to restore production on an expedited basis to around 80,000 bopd by early November. As a result of the exceptional performance from the Operator to restore production to pre-drone attack levels by early November, actual average production for the full year was 70,090 bopd, down just 11% versus 78,615 bopd in 2024. As a point of interest, the average production in the months not impacted by the drone attacks was greater than the average of the previous year. Despite the significant challenges posed by the unprecedented July drone attack, 2025 was a year of operational resilience and strategic progress for the Tawke PSC and we look forward to working in partnership with the Operator to deliver even more value from the asset in the years ahead. PRE-PRODUCTION ASSETS Oman Block 54 (40% working interest) Our preliminary activity, re-entry and testing of the legacy Batha West-1 (BW-1) discovery well was completed safely, ahead of time and under budget. The BW-1 well operation was a low-cost preliminary activity to commence our work on the block representing the first of a number of steps towards understanding the full potential of the licence. Work is now ongoing on analysing data collected from the testing and assessing its implications for the location of further activity on the block, which includes the acquisition of 3D seismic data and drilling two exploration wells over the next 2 years. 2026 activity will be dominated by existing 3D seismic reprocessing and new 3D seismic acquisition and processing whilst planning for and working towards the drilling of the joint venture’s first well on the licence. Somaliland - SL10B13 (51% working interest, Operator) We continue to work towards drilling of the highly prospective Toosan-1 exploration well. In the meantime, Genel continues to work closely with local communities and beneficiaries, with its social investments including a broad range of initiatives in the space of mother and child health, education and the environment. FINANCIAL REVIEW 2025 financial priorities The table below summarises our progress against the 2025 financial priorities of the Company as set out at the start of FY 2025.
| 2025 financial priorities | Progress |
| Maintain business resilience, balance sheet strength and capital availability | Effectively sold consistently into the domestic market and maintained price levels despite falling Brent Restored Tawke production rapidly after interruption Finalised Taq Taq, Sarta, Qara Dagh, Lagzira and Odewayne licence exits at no incremental cost or residual liabilities Continued to optimise organisational cost Issued new bonds extending debt maturity to 2030 and reducing funding risk for delivering our strategic objectives reduced debt levels so as to reduce overall net interest cost from $7 million in 2024 to below $1 million in 2025 Overall delivered production business netback of $10 million and overall free cash flow of $4 million Net cash of $134 million and cash of $224 million at end of 2025 provides significant funding for organic and inorganic investment |
| Ensure appropriate capital allocation and deliver diversification of our cash generation | Maintained production at the Tawke PSC through efficient investment, without incurring the additional cost of drilling new wells Invested cost-effective capital in Block 54 in order to inform the best work programme to de-risk investment over the remainder of the commitment period Deferred expenditure on non-cash generative projects Continued expediting steps to stop any non-value accretive spend across the business Continued cost-effective investment in optimisation of processes and systems to improve operational efficiency |
Outlook and financial priorities for 2026 The key principles of our financial focus remain largely unchanged. We have a resilient business model that is designed to mitigate the impact of uncontrollable adverse events and maximise exposure to the upside. Ultimately, we seek to build a business that generates resilient, diverse, and predictable cash flows that support resumption of distributions to shareholders.
| 2026 financial priorities |
| Maintain business resilience, balance sheet strength and capital availability | A strong balance sheet protected by resilient cash generation is an important component of our business model We expect again that the production business will be free cash flow positive in 2026 and provide the majority of funding required for the planned capital investment in pre-production assets |
| Ensure appropriate capital allocation prioritisation | Our capital allocation priorities remain maintenance of a strong balance sheet, investment in the Tawke PSC and funding of the Company’s strategic objectives in order to generate long-term value for shareholders The principal priority is to add new assets to our portfolio with a view to diversifying our cash generation, which can be done through both organic and inorganic investment |
| Invest capital in order to diversify and increase cash generation and value delivery | The Company intends to diversify and increase its cash generation through both organic and inorganic investment, this remains a priority for the business For organic investment, the Company will only invest where the balance between reward and risk is appropriate, with exciting planned investment in 2026 on both Block 54 and Toosan-1 For inorganic investment, the Company continues to identify, originate and mature opportunities and will ensure any investment is value accretive and in line with the Board’s priority criteria |

1 Net cash interest is bond interest payable less bank interest income (see note 5) Production of 17,520 bopd was lower than last year (2024: 19,650 bopd) as a result of the interruption from the drone strikes in July, which impacted production up to early November. All production has been sold domestically at an average price of $32/bbl (2024: $35/bbl), which under the PSC translates into $11 (2024: $10) per working interest barrel produced. Revenue was $69 million (2024: $75 million), with spend broadly in line with last year: production costs were $21 million (2024: $18 million) and production capex was $24 million (2024: $23 million). Cash general and administrative costs were $17 million, lower than last year (2024: $22 million) as a result of this year benefiting from cost reductions and no material arbitration costs. Interest income of $9 million (2024: $16 million) and bond expense of $9 million (2024: $23 million) both decreased in line with cash and bond balances, with overall net interest cost of $0.2 million significantly reduced from $7 million last year as a result of lower debt levels. The resulting production business netback of $10 million was higher than $5 million generated in the last year. Pre-production capex of $5 million (2024: $3 million) was related to Oman and Somaliland assets. Free cash flow of $4 million was lower than $20 million last year, which had benefitted from positive working capital movements of $28 million. The Company called its existing bonds in April and issued a new bond, increasing cash by $25 million. EBITDAX and cash flow
