Note B – New Accounting Principles and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Principles Adopted

Reportable Segment Disclosures. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The standard requires additional disclosures about operating segments, including segment expense information provided to the chief operating decision maker, and extends certain disclosure requirements to interim periods. The Company adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of 2024. The adoption did not impact the determination of significant segments and had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These new disclosure requirements are applied retrospectively to all prior periods included in the financial statements. Refer to Note P.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The standard requires specified information about certain costs and expenses presented on the face of the income statement to be further disaggregated in the notes to the financial statements. In addition, the standard requires certain expense and cost information that is not separately disaggregated to be qualitatively described. We expect this ASU to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The update requires financial statements to include consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. We expect this ASU to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Note C – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Nature of Goods and Services

The Company explores for and produces crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (collectively referred to as oil and natural gas) in select basins around the world. The Company’s revenue from sales of oil and natural gas production activities is primarily subdivided intotwo key geographic segments: the United States (U.S.) and Canada. Additionally, revenue from sales to customers is generated from three primary revenue streams: crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs).

For operated oil and natural gas production where a non-operated working interest owner does not take in kind its proportionate interest in the produced commodity, the Company acts as an agent for the working interest owner and recognizes revenue only for its own share of the commingled production. The exception to this is the reporting of the noncontrolling interest (NCI) in MP Gulf of Mexico, LLC (MP GOM) as prescribed by GAAP.

U.S. - In the U.S., the Company primarily produces oil and natural gas from fields in the Eagle Ford Shale area of South Texas and in the Gulf of America. Revenue is generally recognized when oil and natural gas is transferred to the customer at the delivery point. Revenue recognized is largely index-based with price adjustments for floating market differentials.

Canada - In Canada, contracts include long-term floating commodity index priced and natural gas physical forward sales fixed price contracts. For the offshore business in Canada, contracts are based on index prices and revenue is recognized at the time of vessel load based on the volumes on the bill of lading and point of custody transfer. The Company also purchases natural gas in Canada to meet certain sales commitments.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company reviews performance based ontwo key geographical segments and between onshore and offshore sources of revenue within these geographies.

Note C - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Continued)

The Company’s revenues and other income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows.

1 Includes revenue attributable to noncontrolling interest in MP GOM.

2 Purchases of natural gas are reported on a gross basis when Murphy takes control of the product and has risks and rewards of ownership. Sales of purchased natural gas are reported when the contractual performance obligations are satisfied. This occurs at the time the product is delivered to a third-party purchaser at the contractually determinable price.

Contract Balances and Asset Recognition

As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, receivables from contracts with customers, net of royalties and associated payables, on the balance sheet from continuing operations, were $172.2 million and $178.3 million, respectively. Payment terms for the Company’s sales vary across contracts and geographical regions, with the majority of the cash receipts required within 30 days of billing. Based on a forward-looking expected loss model in accordance with ASU 2016-13, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses on receivables or contract assets arising from customer contracts during the reporting periods.

The Company has not entered into any revenue contracts that have financing components as of June 30, 2025.

The Company does not employ sales incentive strategies such as commissions or bonuses for obtaining sales contracts. For the periods presented, the Company did not identify any assets to be recognized associated with the costs to obtain a contract with a customer.

Note C – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Continued)

Performance Obligations

The Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a commodity to a customer. Judgment is required to determine whether some customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefit of commodities. As a result of this assessment for the Company, each unit of measure of the specified commodity is considered to represent a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time upon the transfer of control of the commodity.

For contracts with market or index-based pricing, which represent the majority of sales contracts, the Company has elected the allocation exception and allocates the variable consideration to each single performance obligation in the contract. As a result, there is no price allocation to unsatisfied remaining performance obligations for delivery of commodity product in subsequent periods.

The Company has entered into several long-term, fixed price contracts in Canada. The underlying reason for entering a fixed price contract is generally unrelated to anticipated future prices or other observable data and serves a particular purpose in the Company’s long-term strategy.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had the following sales contracts in place which are expected to generate revenue from sales to customers for a period over 12 months starting at the inception of the contract:

The fixed price contracts above are accounted for as normal sales and purchases for accounting purposes.

Note D – Property, Plant and Equipment

Exploratory Wells

Under FASB guidance, exploratory well costs should continue to be capitalized when the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had total capitalized drilling costs pending the determination of proved reserves of $110.5 million. The following table reflects the net changes in capitalized exploratory well costs during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Capital additions of $38.5 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, were mainly for the Hai Su Vang-1X (Golden Sea Lion), Block 15/2-17 and Lac Da Hong-1X (Pink Camel), Block 15-1/05 exploration wells in Vietnam and long-lead equipment for the Cello #1 (Mississippi Canyon 385) and Banjo #1 (Mississippi Canyon 385) exploration wells in the Gulf of America. The Lac Da Hong-1X (Pink Camel) exploration well in Vietnam encountered 106 feet of net oil pay from one reservoir and continues to progress post-drill evaluations. Capital

Note D – Property, Plant and Equipment (Continued)

additions of $20.4 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, were mainly for the non-operated Ocotillo #1 (Mississippi Canyon 40) exploration well in the Gulf of America.

There wereno capitalized well costs charged to dry hole expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Capitalized well costs charged to dry hole expense of $26.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were related to the Hoffe Park #1 (Mississippi Canyon 166) exploration well in the Gulf of America.

The preceding table excludes well costs of $31.8 million incurred and expensed directly to dry hole for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This amount primarily related to the non-operated Orange #1 (Mississippi Canyon 216) exploration well in the Gulf of America.

The following table provides an aging of capitalized exploration well costs based on the date the drilling was completed for each individual well.

Of the $94.5 million of exploration well costs capitalized and classified as more than one year at June 30, 2025, $65.0 million was in Vietnam, $22.1 million was in the Gulf of America, $4.7 million was in Canada, and $2.7 million was in Brunei. In all geographical areas, either further appraisal or development drilling is planned and/or development studies/plans are in various stages of completion.

Property Additions

During the first quarter of 2025, Murphy purchased a floating production storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) from BW Offshore (UK) Limited for a gross purchase price of $125.0 million, subject to customary closing adjustments. An initial payment of $100.0 million was made in the first quarter of 2025, with the remaining balance paid during the second quarter of 2025, after certain contractual obligations were met. The FPSO will remain at its current location, supporting operations at the Cascade field (Walker Ridge 206 and 250) and Chinook field (Walker Ridge 469 and 425) in the Gulf of America. BW Offshore (UK) Limited will continue to provide operations and maintenance services under a newfive-year contract.

Impairments

There wereno impairments in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as well asno impairments in the three months ended June 30, 2024. There were pretax impairments of $34.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 related to the Calliope field in Mississippi Canyon in the Gulf of America, in which operational issues led to a reserve reduction.

Subsequent Event

Subsequent to quarter end, on July 1, 2025, the Company purchased additional working interests in Eagle Ford Shale, in acreages primarily operated by Murphy, for $23.0 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments.

Note E – Financing Arrangements and Debt

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had a $1.35 billion revolving credit facility (RCF). The RCF is a senior unsecured guaranteed facility which expires on October 7, 2029. At June 30, 2025, the Company had $200.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the RCF and $0.4 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduce the borrowing capacity of the RCF. At June 30, 2025, the interest rate in effect on borrowings under the RCF was 6.67%. At June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the RCF.

Note E – Financing Arrangements and Debt (Continued)

The Company also has a shelf registration statement on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that permits the offer and sale of debt and/or equity securities through October 15, 2027.

Note F – Other Financial Information

Supplemental Information to Statement of Cash Flows

Note G – Asset Retirement Obligations

The asset retirement obligations liabilities (ARO) recognized by the Company are related to the estimated costs to dismantle and abandon its producing oil and natural gas properties and related equipment.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending aggregate carrying amount of the ARO for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are shown in the following table.

The estimation of future ARO is based on a number of assumptions requiring professional judgment. The Company cannot predict the type of revisions to these assumptions that may be required in future periods due to the availability of additional information such as: prices for oil field services, technological changes, governmental requirements and other factors.

Note H – Employee and Retiree Benefit Plans

The Company has defined benefit pension plans that are principally noncontributory and cover most full-time employees. All pension plans are funded except for the U.S. and Canadian nonqualified supplemental plans and the U.S. directors’ plan. All U.S. tax qualified plans meet the funding requirements of federal laws and regulations. Contributions to foreign plans are based on local laws and tax regulations. The Company also sponsors other postretirement benefits such as health care and life insurance benefit plans, which are not funded, that cover most retired U.S. employees. The health care benefits are contributory; the life insurance benefits are noncontributory.

The table that follows provides the components of net periodic benefit expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

The components of net periodic benefit expense, other than the service cost, are recorded in “Other income (loss)” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, the Company made contributions of $18.6 million to its defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans. Remaining funding in 2025 for the Company’s defined benefit pension and postretirement plans is anticipated to be $12.3 million.

Note I – Incentive Plans

The Company recognizes expenses for all share-based and cash-based incentive compensation in the Consolidated Statements of Operations using a fair value-based measurement method over the applicable vesting periods.

The Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) authorizes the Compensation Committee (the Committee) to establish specific performance goals associated with annual cash awards that may be earned by officers, executives and certain

Note I – Incentive Plans (Continued)

other employees. Cash awards under the AIP are determined based on the Company’s actual financial and operating results as measured against the performance goals established by the Committee.

In May 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2025 Long-Term Plan) to replace the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2020 Long-Term Plan). All awards granted on or after May 14, 2025, will be made under the 2025 Long-Term Plan. The 2025 Long-Term Plan will expire in 2035 and authorizes the issuance of up to 3.885 million shares of common stock over its term. Additional information on the 2025 Long-Term Plan can be found in Exhibit A to definitive proxy statement filed on March 28, 2025.

Similar to the 2020 Long-Term Plan, the 2025 Long-Term Plan authorizes the Committee to make grants of the Company’s common stock and stock-based awards to employees. These grants may be in the form of stock options (nonqualified or incentive), stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance units, performance shares, dividend equivalents and other stock-based incentives.

Shares issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2025 Long-Term Plan and the previous 2020 Long-Term Plan, may be shares that are authorized and unissued or shares that were reacquired by the Company, including shares repurchased on the open market. Share awards that have been canceled, expired, forfeited, or otherwise not issued will not count as shares issued under both plans.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Committee granted the following awards from the 2020 Long-Term Plan:

1 Performance-based RSUs are tied to the achievement of Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE) performance goals and are scheduled to vest three years from the date of grant if performance conditions are met.

2 Time-based RSUs generally vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant.

The Company also maintains a Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (NEDs) that permits the issuance of RSUs, stock options, or a combination thereof to the Company’s NEDs.

The Company currently has outstanding incentive awards issued to Directors under the 2021 Stock Plan for NEDs (the 2021 NED Plan) and the 2018 Stock Plan for NEDs. All awards granted on or after May 12, 2021 were made under the 2021 NED Plan.

Note I – Incentive Plans (Continued)

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Committee granted the following awards to NEDs under the 2021 NED Plan:

1 NED’s time-based RSUs are scheduled to vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant. NEDs may elect to defer settlement of their vested time-based RSUs until (1) termination of service from the Board or (2) a future date selected by the director at the time of their deferral election. These unvested time-based RSUs are included in the table above, will vest inone year, and become deferred RSUs.

2 Effective January 1, 2024, NEDs can elect to receive their annual retainers in the form of deferred RSUs. Director fees which are deferred into RSUs are calculated and expensed each quarter by taking fees earned in respect of the applicable quarter and dividing by the closing price of our common stock on the last trading day of the quarter. Each deferred RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock following (1) termination of service from the Board or (2) a future date selected by the director at the time of their deferral election.

Amounts recognized in the financial statements with respect to share-based plans are shown in the following table.

Certain incentive compensation granted to the Company’s named executive officers, to the extent their total compensation exceeds $1.0 million per executive per year, is not eligible for a U.S. income tax deduction under the current tax law.

Note J – Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income attributable to Murphy was used as the numerator in computing both basic and diluted income per common share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The following table reconciles the weighted-average shares outstanding used for these computations.

Note K – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate is calculated as the amount of income tax expense (benefit) divided by income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s effective income tax rates were as follows:

Note K – Income Taxes (Continued)

The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 was below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to several factors including: no tax applied to the pretax income of the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM, a Canada tax credit received, and the effects of tax losses generated in Canada which has a higher tax rate. These impacts are partially offset by exploration and other expenses in certain foreign jurisdictions, for which no income tax benefits are currently available as well as stock-based compensation.

The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 was below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to no tax applied to the pretax income of the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM, and a Canada tax credit received. These impacts are partially offset by the effects of income generated in foreign tax jurisdictions, certain of which have income tax rates higher than the U.S. Federal rate, and certain expenses, including exploration and other expenses in certain foreign jurisdictions, for which no income tax benefits are currently available.

The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 was above the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to several factors including: the effects of income generated in foreign tax jurisdictions, certain of which have income tax rates higher than the U.S. Federal rate; U.S. state tax expense; stock-based compensation; and certain expenses, including exploration and other expenses in certain foreign jurisdictions, for which no income tax benefits are currently available. These impacts were partially offset by no tax applied to the pretax income of the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM, and a Canada tax credit received.

The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to no tax applied to the pretax income of the noncontrolling interest in MP GOM, and a Canada tax credit received. These impacts were partially offset by several factors including: the effects of income generated in foreign tax jurisdictions, certain of which have income tax rates higher than the U.S. Federal rate; U.S. state tax expense and certain expenses, including exploration and other expenses in certain foreign jurisdictions, for which no income tax benefits are currently available.

The Company’s tax returns in multiple jurisdictions are subject to audit by taxing authorities. These audits often take years to complete and settle. Although the Company believes that recorded liabilities for unsettled issues are adequate, additional gains or losses could occur in future years from resolution of outstanding unsettled matters. Additionally, the Company could be required to pay amounts into an escrow account as any matters are identified and appealed with the relevant taxing authorities. As of June 30, 2025, the earliest years remaining open for audit and/or settlement in our major taxing jurisdictions are as follows: U.S. – 2016; Canada – 2016; and Malaysia – 2018. The Company has retained certain possible liabilities and rights to income tax receivables relating to Malaysia for the years prior to 2019.

Subsequent to the balance sheet date, on July 4, 2025, the current U.S. Administration signed into law the legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting corporations. The OBBBA, among other changes, permanently reinstates the "bonus" depreciation provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of 100% of the cost of certain qualified property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, permanently reinstates the elective immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures paid or incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2024 (with a special transition rule that allows accelerated deduction of the remaining unamortized balance of capitalized domestic research and experimental expenditures), and permanently relaxes the limitation on the deductibility of business interest effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. The OBBBA also modifies certain international tax provisions effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these tax law changes and will recognize the income tax effects in the consolidated financial statements beginning in the period in which the OBBBA was signed into law.

Note L – Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Murphy, at times, uses derivative instruments to manage certain risks related to commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The use of derivative instruments for risk management is covered by operating policies and is closely monitored by the Company’s senior management. The Company does not hold any derivatives for speculative purposes, and it does not use derivatives with leveraged or complex features. Derivative instruments are traded with creditworthy major financial institutions or over national exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). The Company has a risk management control system to monitor commodity price risks and any derivatives obtained to manage a portion of such risks. For accounting purposes, the Company has not designated commodity and foreign currency derivative contracts as hedges, and therefore, it recognizes all gains and losses on these derivative contracts in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risks

The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange risk associated with operations in countries outside the U.S. The Company hadno foreign currency exchange derivatives outstanding at June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Commodity Price Risks

The Company is subject to commodity price risk related to products it produces and sells. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company had the following open natural gas swap contracts. Under the swaps contracts, which mature monthly, the Company pays the average monthly price in effect and receives the fixed contract price on a notional amount of sales volume, thereby fixing the price for the commodity sold.

At June 30, 2025, volumes per day associated with outstanding natural gas derivative contracts and the weighted average prices for these contracts are as follows:

During first six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company didnot have any crude oil derivative contracts. During first six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company didnot have any crude oil or natural gas derivative contracts.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are presented in the following table:

For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are presented in the following table:

Fair Values – Recurring

The Company carries certain assets and liabilities at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value hierarchy is based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, with Level 1 being the highest quality and Level 3 being the lowest quality. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions about pricing by market participants.

The fair value measurements for these assets and liabilities at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, are shown in the following table.

The commodity swaps liability as of June 30, 2025 was $0.3 million and recorded as “Accounts payable” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of commodity swaps was based on active market quotes for NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas. The before tax income effect of changes in the fair value of natural gas derivative contracts is recorded in “Loss on derivative instruments” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The nonqualified employee savings plan is an unfunded savings plan through which participants seek a return via phantom investments in equity securities and/or mutual funds. The fair value of this liability was based on quoted prices for these equity securities and mutual funds. The income effect of changes in the fair value of the nonqualified employee savings plan is recorded in “Selling and general expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company offsets certain assets and liabilities related to derivative contracts when the legal right of offset exists. There wereno offsetting positions recorded at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The table excludes cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, all of which had fair values approximating carrying amounts. The fair value of current and long-term debt was estimated based on rates offered to the Company at that time for debt of the same maturities. Substantially all of the Company’s long-term debt is actively traded in open markets, and accordingly, is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company has off-balance sheet exposures relating to certain letters of credit. The fair value of these, which represents fees associated with obtaining the instruments, were minimal.

Fair Values – Nonrecurring

There wereno impairment expenses incurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or the three months ended June 30, 2024.

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, an impairment charge of $34.5 million was triggered for the Calliope field, due to operational issues that led to reserve reductions.

The fair values were determined by internal discounted cash flow models using estimates of future production, prices, costs and discount rates believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants in the applicable region.

The fair value information associated with the impaired properties is presented in the following table.

Note M – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The components of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025 and the changes during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 are presented net of taxes in the following table.

1 Reclassifications before taxes of $2.1 million are included in the computation of net periodic benefit expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. See Note H for additional information. Related income taxes of $0.3 million are included in "Income tax expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Note N – Environmental and Other Contingencies

The Company’s operations and earnings have been and may be affected by various forms of governmental action both in the United States and throughout the world. Examples of such governmental action include, but are by no means limited to: tax legislation changes, including tax rate changes, and retroactive tax claims; trade policies, tariffs and other trade restrictions; royalty and revenue sharing increases; import and export controls; price controls; currency controls; allocation of supplies of crude oil and petroleum products and other goods; expropriation of property; restrictions and preferences affecting the issuance of oil and natural gas or mineral leases; restrictions on drilling and/or production; laws, regulations and government action intended for the promotion of safety and the protection and/or remediation of the environment including in connection with the purported causes or potential impacts of climate change; governmental support for other forms of energy; and laws and regulations affecting the Company’s relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, stockholders and others. Given the factors involved in various government actions, including political considerations, it is difficult to predict their likelihood, the form they may take, or the effect they may have on the Company.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS – Murphy and other companies in the oil and natural gas industry are subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations dealing with the environment and protection of health and safety. The principal environmental, health and safety laws and regulations to which Murphy is subject address such matters as the generation, storage, handling, use, disposal and remediation of petroleum

Note N – Environmental and Other Contingencies (Continued)

products, wastewater and hazardous materials; the emission and discharge of such materials to the environment, including methane and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; wildlife, habitat and water protection; water access, use and disposal; the placement, operation and decommissioning of production equipment; the health and safety of our employees, contractors and communities where our operations are located, including indigenous communities; and the causes and impacts of climate change. These laws and regulations also generally require permits for existing operations, as well as the construction or development of new operations and the decommissioning of facilities once production has ceased.

Violation of federal or state environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties, injunctions and construction bans or delays. A discharge of hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent such event is not adequately insured, subject the Company to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable regulations and claims by neighboring landowners and other third parties for any personal injury and property damage that might result. In addition, Item 103 of SEC Regulation S-K requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that the Company reasonably believes will exceed a specified threshold. Pursuant to SEC amendments to this item, the Company will be using a threshold of $1.0 million for such proceedings and the Company is not aware of environmental legal proceedings likely to exceed this $1.0 million threshold.

In recent years, there has been an increase in regulatory oversight of the oil and natural gas industry at the state and federal level, with a focus on climate change and GHG emissions (including methane emissions). For example, in March 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published its final rule regulating methane and volatile organic compounds emissions in the oil and natural gas industry which, among other things, requires periodic inspections to detect leaks (and subsequent repairs), places stringent restrictions on venting and flaring of methane, and establishes a program whereby third parties can monitor and report large methane emissions to the U.S. EPA. In November 2024, the U.S. EPA published its final rule implementing a charge on large emitters of waste methane from the oil and gas sector. This rule, however, was disapproved by a joint Congressional resolution in March 2025. In addition, an international climate agreement (the Paris Agreement) was agreed to at the 2015 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France. In January 2025, the United States submitted formal notification to the United Nations that it intends to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Paris Agreement, the withdrawal will take effect on January 27, 2026. While presidential administrations may modify, revise or repeal rules related to climate change and GHG emissions, the general trend has been towards stricter regulation over time. Further, many states have adopted or are considering regulations related to GHG emissions.

The Company currently owns or leases, and has in the past owned or leased, properties at which hazardous substances have been or are being handled. Hazardous substances may have been disposed of or released on or under the properties owned or leased by the Company or on or under other locations where these wastes have been taken for disposal. In addition, many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose treatment and disposal or release of hydrocarbons or other wastes were not under Murphy’s control. Under existing laws, the Company could be required to investigate, remove or remediate previously disposed wastes (including wastes disposed of or released by prior owners or operators), to investigate and clean up contaminated property (including contaminated groundwater) or to perform remedial plugging operations to prevent future contamination. Certain of these historical properties are in various stages of negotiation, investigation, and/or cleanup, and the Company is investigating the extent of any such liability and the availability of applicable defenses. The Company has retained certain liabilities related to environmental matters at formerly owned U.S. refineries that were sold in 2011. The Company also obtained insurance covering certain levels of environmental exposures related to past operations of these refineries. Murphy USA Inc. has retained any environmental exposure associated with Murphy’s former U.S. marketing operations that were spun-off in August 2013. The Company believes costs related to these sites will not have a material adverse effect on Murphy’s net income, financial condition or liquidity in a future period. Depending on the evolution of laws, regulations and litigation outcomes relating to climate change, there can be no guarantee that climate change litigation will not in the future materially adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

There is the possibility that environmental expenditures could be required at currently unidentified sites, and additional expenditures could be required at known sites. However, based on information currently available to the Company, the amount of future investigation and remediation costs incurred at known or currently

unidentified sites is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future net income, cash flows or liquidity.

LEGAL MATTERS – Murphy and its subsidiaries are engaged in a number of other legal proceedings (including litigation related to climate change), all of which Murphy considers routine and incidental to its business. Based on information currently available to the Company, the ultimate resolution of environmental and legal matters referred to in this note is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net income, financial condition or liquidity in a future period.

This repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued completely at any time without prior notice as determined by the Company at its discretion and dependent upon a variety of factors.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company didnot repurchase any share of its common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 3.6 million shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program for $100.0 million ($100.9 million including excise taxes and fees).
