Financial Highlights for the nine months of 2025

Revenue

In the nine months ended 30 September 2025, the Company’s revenue amounted to KZT 7,058 bln (USD 13,565 mln), representing an 11.2% increase compared to the nine months ended 30 September 2024. Despite lower global oil prices, revenue increased, driven by the year-on-year weakening of the tenge against the US dollar and higher revenue from sales of refined products at KMG International and at the KMG Corporate Center level. During the reporting period, hydrocarbon refining volumes at KMG International refineries increased significantly due to stable operational performance, in contrast to the nine months of 2024, when scheduled major repairs were carried out and a delayed start-up of the mild hydrocracking unit was recorded following repairs to eliminate the consequences of a fire. At the same time, revenue at KMG Kashagan B.V. declined due to lower production volumes caused by a higher gas factor. Additionally, revenue from hydrocarbon refining at Atyrau Oil Refinery LLP decreased as a result of a lower refining tariff.

Share in profit of joint ventures and associates

The share in profit of joint ventures and associates increased by 37.6% to 560 bln tenge (USD 1,077 mln). This growth was primarily driven by the increase in the share of profit in Tengizchevroil LLP due to higher revenue due to the start of production at the Third Generation Plant under the Future Growth Project (January 2025); PetroKazakhstan Oil Products LLP, due to higher hydrocarbon processing volumes resulting from the uninterrupted operation of the refinery during the reporting period, as opposed to the planned maintenance carried out in 2024; Caspian Pipeline Consortium – due to higher oil transportation volumes driven by increased crude volumes transported from Tengiz field and USDKZT dynamics.

EBITDA

EBITDA for the nine months of 2025 totaled 1,800 bln tenge (USD 3,459 mln), having increased by 11.8%. The growth was driven by higher revenue in the Refining and trading of crude oil and refined products segment and at the KMG Corporate Center level, as well as an increase in the share of profit in joint ventures and associates across all segments.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA, which reflects dividends received from joint ventures and associates instead of the share in the profit of joint ventures and associates, amounted to 2,003 bln tenge (USD 3,849 mln), representing an increase of 13.7%.

Net profit

The Company’s net profit increased by 12.8% compared to the same period in 2024, amounting to 978 bln tenge (USD 1,880 mln). The growth in net profit was driven by higher revenue from contracts with customers, an increase in the share in profit of joint ventures and associates, the recognition of a positive foreign exchange gain[12], as well as lower impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and reduced exploration expenses.

Net profit adjusted for share in profit of JVs and associates

Net profit adjusted for the share in joint ventures and associates increased by 16.0% to 1,181 bln tenge (USD 2,270 mln) for the nine months ended 30 September 2025, compared to 1,018 bln tenge (USD 2,220 mln) for the same period of 2024.

Cost of purchased oil, gas, petroleum products and other materials

The сost of purchased oil, gas, petroleum products and other materials increased by 16.2%, amounting to 3,832 bln tenge (USD 7,365 mln). The growth was mainly driven by higher costs of purchased oil for refining at KMG International level.

Operating expenses

Production expenses increased by 12.8% to 1,154 bln tenge (USD 2,219 mln), primarily due to higher repair and maintenance expenses at KMG Systems & Services LLP, an increase in electricity expenses primarily at Ozenmunaigas JSC and KMG International, as well as higher payroll expenses for production personnel in the regions of operation.

Transportation and selling expenses for the reporting period totaled 235 bln tenge (USD 452 mln), up 15.7% compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was mainly driven by higher loading, transportation, and storage costs at KMG Kashagan B.V. and KMG International.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 15.1% to 159 bln tenge (USD 306 mln), primarily due to lower trust-management expenses. For the nine months ended 30 September 2025, the Company recognized remuneration to NC QazaqGaz JSC (a subsidiary of Samruk-Kazyna JSC) for the trust management of its 50% interest in the joint venture KazRosGaz LLP in the amount of 19 bln tenge (USD 37 mln), compared to 53 bln tenge (USD 116 mln) for the same period of 2024.

Taxes other than income tax amounted to 437 bln tenge (USD 841 mln), increasing by 1.2%, primarily due to higher excise tax expenses at the KMG Corporate Center, driven by the growth in sales of light petroleum products and the increase in the excise tax rate on petroleum products during the 2025 reporting period. At the same time, a decrease was observed in rent tax on crude oil export and export customs duties at Ozenmunaigas JSC and Embamunaigas JSC, as well as lower tax expenses at KMG Kashagan B.V., reflecting lower oil prices compared to the prior-period level.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and exploration expenses

For the nine months ended 30 September 2025, impairment of property, plant and equipment and exploration expenses amounted to 27 bln tenge (USD 51 mln). The main factor was the recognition of impairment of incurred costs related to the construction of the seawater desalination plant and supply infrastructure[13] in Zhanaozen city in the amount of 25 bln tenge (USD 48 mln).

Capital expenditures

Accrual-based capital expenditures amounted to 398 bln tenge (USD 765 mln), decreasing by 10.4%, due to lower capital expenditures in the Refining and trading of crude oil and refined products segment, primarily reflecting the major repairs at KMG International’s refinery over the nine months of 2024, as well as in the Exploration and production of oil and gas segment, driven by the completion of individual stages of investment projects at Ozenmunaigas JSC, KMG Kashagan B.V., KMG Engineering LLP, and Dunga Operating GmbH.

Capital expenditures on a cash basis totaled 448 bln tenge (USD 861 mln), increasing by 9.8%, mainly due to higher capital expenditures at Pavlodar Oil Chemistry Refinery LLP, Kazakh Gas Processing Plant LLP, Ozenmunaigas JSC and Embamunaigas JSC.

Dividends Received from Joint Ventures and Associates

For the nine months ended 30 September 2025, dividends received from joint ventures and associates increased by 36.6% to 763 bln tenge (USD 1,467 mln), compared to 559 bln tenge (USD 1,218 mln) for the nine months of 2024. The main drivers of growth were the increase in dividends from Tengizchevroil LLP from 323 bln tenge (USD 704 mln) to 539 bln tenge (USD 1,037 mln), an 82.4% increase in dividends from the Caspian Pipeline Consortium project to 93 bln tenge (USD 179 mln), as well as higher dividends received from JV Kazgermunai LLP and Kazakhstan–China Pipeline LLP.

Free cash flow

Free cash flow increased by 8.1% compared to the same period of 2024 and amounted to 1,095 bln tenge (USD 2,104 mln). The growth was driven by higher net cash flows from operating activities, including an increase in dividends received from joint ventures and associates.

Despite lower global oil prices, revenue increased, driven by the year-on-year weakening of the tenge against the US dollar and higher revenue from sales of refined products at KMG International and at the KMG Corporate Center level. During the reporting period, hydrocarbon refining volumes at KMG International refineries increased significantly due to stable operational performance, in contrast to the nine months of 2024, when scheduled major repairs were carried out and a delayed start-up of the mild hydrocracking unit was recorded following repairs to eliminate the consequences of a fire. At the same time, revenue at KMG Kashagan B.V. declined due to lower production volumes caused by a higher gas factor. Additionally, revenue from hydrocarbon refining at Atyrau Oil Refinery LLP decreased as a result of a lower refining tariff.

Share in profit of joint ventures and associates

The share in profit of joint ventures and associates increased by 37.6% to 560 bln tenge (USD 1,077 mln). This growth was primarily driven by the increase in the share of profit in Tengizchevroil LLP due to higher revenue due to the start of production at the Third Generation Plant under the Future Growth Project (January 2025); PetroKazakhstan Oil Products LLP, due to higher hydrocarbon processing volumes resulting from the uninterrupted operation of the refinery during the reporting period, as opposed to the planned maintenance carried out in 2024; Caspian Pipeline Consortium – due to higher oil transportation volumes driven by increased crude volumes transported from Tengiz field and USDKZT dynamics.

EBITDA

EBITDA for the nine months of 2025 totaled 1,800 bln tenge (USD 3,459 mln), having increased by 11.8%. The growth was driven by higher revenue in the Refining and trading of crude oil and refined products segment and at the KMG Corporate Center level, as well as an increase in the share of profit in joint ventures and associates across all segments.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA, which reflects dividends received from joint ventures and associates instead of the share in the profit of joint ventures and associates, amounted to 2,003 bln tenge (USD 3,849 mln), representing an increase of 13.7%.

Net profit

The Company’s net profit increased by 12.8% compared to the same period in 2024, amounting to 978 bln tenge (USD 1,880 mln). The growth in net profit was driven by higher revenue from contracts with customers, an increase in the share in profit of joint ventures and associates, the recognition of a positive foreign exchange gain[12], as well as lower impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and reduced exploration expenses.

Net profit adjusted for share in profit of JVs and associates

Net profit adjusted for the share in joint ventures and associates increased by 16.0% to 1,181 bln tenge (USD 2,270 mln) for the nine months ended 30 September 2025, compared to 1,018 bln tenge (USD 2,220 mln) for the same period of 2024.

Cost of purchased oil, gas, petroleum products and other materials

The сost of purchased oil, gas, petroleum products and other materials increased by 16.2%, amounting to 3,832 bln tenge (USD 7,365 mln). The growth was mainly driven by higher costs of purchased oil for refining at KMG International level.

Operating expenses

Production expenses increased by 12.8% to 1,154 bln tenge (USD 2,219 mln), primarily due to higher repair and maintenance expenses at KMG Systems & Services LLP, an increase in electricity expenses primarily at Ozenmunaigas JSC and KMG International, as well as higher payroll expenses for production personnel in the regions of operation.

Transportation and selling expenses for the reporting period totaled 235 bln tenge (USD 452 mln), up 15.7% compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was mainly driven by higher loading, transportation, and storage costs at KMG Kashagan B.V. and KMG International.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 15.1% to 159 bln tenge (USD 306 mln), primarily due to lower trust-management expenses. For the nine months ended 30 September 2025, the Company recognized remuneration to NC QazaqGaz JSC (a subsidiary of Samruk-Kazyna JSC) for the trust management of its 50% interest in the joint venture KazRosGaz LLP in the amount of 19 bln tenge (USD 37 mln), compared to 53 bln tenge (USD 116 mln) for the same period of 2024.

Taxes other than income tax amounted to 437 bln tenge (USD 841 mln), increasing by 1.2%, primarily due to higher excise tax expenses at the KMG Corporate Center, driven by the growth in sales of light petroleum products and the increase in the excise tax rate on petroleum products during the 2025 reporting period. At the same time, a decrease was observed in rent tax on crude oil export and export customs duties at Ozenmunaigas JSC and Embamunaigas JSC, as well as lower tax expenses at KMG Kashagan B.V., reflecting lower oil prices compared to the prior-period level.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and exploration expenses

For the nine months ended 30 September 2025, impairment of property, plant and equipment and exploration expenses amounted to 27 bln tenge (USD 51 mln). The main factor was the recognition of impairment of incurred costs related to the construction of the seawater desalination plant and supply infrastructure[13] in Zhanaozen city in the amount of 25 bln tenge (USD 48 mln).

Capital expenditures

Accrual-based capital expenditures amounted to 398 bln tenge (USD 765 mln), decreasing by 10.4%, due to lower capital expenditures in the Refining and trading of crude oil and refined products segment, primarily reflecting the major repairs at KMG International’s refinery over the nine months of 2024, as well as in the Exploration and production of oil and gas segment, driven by the completion of individual stages of investment projects at Ozenmunaigas JSC, KMG Kashagan B.V., KMG Engineering LLP, and Dunga Operating GmbH.

Capital expenditures on a cash basis totaled 448 bln tenge (USD 861 mln), increasing by 9.8%, mainly due to higher capital expenditures at Pavlodar Oil Chemistry Refinery LLP, Kazakh Gas Processing Plant LLP, Ozenmunaigas JSC and Embamunaigas JSC.

Dividends Received from Joint Ventures and Associates

For the nine months ended 30 September 2025, dividends received from joint ventures and associates increased by 36.6% to 763 bln tenge (USD 1,467 mln), compared to 559 bln tenge (USD 1,218 mln) for the nine months of 2024. The main drivers of growth were the increase in dividends from Tengizchevroil LLP from 323 bln tenge (USD 704 mln) to 539 bln tenge (USD 1,037 mln), an 82.4% increase in dividends from the Caspian Pipeline Consortium project to 93 bln tenge (USD 179 mln), as well as higher dividends received from JV Kazgermunai LLP and Kazakhstan–China Pipeline LLP.

Free cash flow

Free cash flow increased by 8.1% compared to the same period of 2024 and amounted to 1,095 bln tenge (USD 2,104 mln). The growth was driven by higher net cash flows from operating activities, including an increase in dividends received from joint ventures and associates.
