The business includes the operation of both upstream and midstream infrastructure necessary to deliver natural gas and its derivatives to market. Integrated Gas also includes the marketing, trading and optimisation of LNG.
Adjusted Earnings, compared with the second quarter 2026, reflected higher volumes (increase of $360 million) and the combined net effect of realised prices and contributions from trading and optimisation (increase of $324 million), partly offset by higher operating expenses (increase of $180 million).
Identified items in the third quarter 2026 included a gain from net impairment reversals of $1,290 million, mainly related to an asset in North America.

Sectors and Decarbonisation supplies fuels, speciality products and services, including low-carbon energy solutions such as biofuels, to a broad range of commercial customers, including in the aviation, marine and agriculture sectors.
Income/(loss) for the period was driven by the same factors as Adjusted Earnings and includes the impact of identified items and a current cost of supplies adjustment of $787 million.
Adjusted Earnings, compared with the second quarter 2026, reflected lower Marketing margins (decrease of $262 million), mainly due to weaker Mobility unit margins and lower Lubricants volumes. These unfavourable margin movements were partly offset by favourable tax movements ($120 million).
Identified items in the third quarter 2026 included a loss from net impairment charges and reversals of $1,904 million, mainly related to European biogas assets. These net charges compare with the second quarter 2026, which included gains of $282 million from the disposal of assets, mainly related to the divestment of Jiffy Lube International, partly offset by unfavourable movements of $78 million due to the fair value accounting of commodity derivatives. As part of Shell's normal business, commodity derivative contracts are entered into as hedges for mitigation of economic exposures on future purchases, sales and inventory.
Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter 2026 was primarily driven by net cash outflows related to the timing impact of payments for emission certificates and biofuel programmes of $1,866 million and working capital outflows of $947 million. These outflows were partly offset by Adjusted EBITDA and the cost of supplies adjustment of $1,043 million (before tax).
Marketing sales volumes (comprising hydrocarbon sales), compared with the second quarter 2026, increased mainly due to higher Mobility volumes, driven by seasonally higher demand, partly offset by lower Lubricants volumes due to market impacts from the Middle East conflict.

Lower margins included lower volumes and weaker unit margins, which were largely offset by support from trading and optimisation.
Identified items in the first nine months 2026 included a loss from net impairment charges and reversals of $2,098 million, mainly related to European biogas assets. These net charges compare with the first nine months 2025 which included a loss from net impairment charges and reversals of $857 million and provisions of $186 million², both of which included the impact of the decision not to restart construction of the planned biofuels facility at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park in Rotterdam.
