9. INCOME TAXES

The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Non-cash impairments on the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties, gains and losses on the sale of assets, statutory tax rate changes, and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent due to taxes on foreign operations. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent due to taxes on foreign operations and a deferred tax expense related to the remeasurement of taxes in the U.K. as a result of the enactment of Finance Act 2025 on March 20, 2025.

On March 20, 2025, Finance Act 2025 was enacted, receiving Royal Assent, and included amendments to the Energy (Oil and Gas) Profits Levy Act of 2022, increasing the levy from a 35 percent rate to a 38 percent rate, among other changes, effective for the period of November 1, 2024 through March 31, 2030.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (OBBBA). Among other changes, the OBBBA expanded and made permanent 100 percent bonus depreciation for eligible assets acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, and aligned the treatment of intangible drilling costs for corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) purposes with regular tax treatment starting in 2026. The Company does not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact on total tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2026, as impacts to current tax expense are offset by impacts to deferred tax expense.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income or capital taxes in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s tax reserves are related to tax years that may be subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

The Company is party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including litigation and governmental and regulatory controls, which also may include controls related to the potential impacts of climate change. As of September 30, 2026, the Company has an accrued liability of approximately $21 million for all legal contingencies that are deemed to be probable of occurring and can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s estimates are based on information known about the matters and its experience in contesting, litigating, and settling similar matters. Although actual amounts could differ from management’s estimate, none of the actions are believed by management to involve future amounts that would be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity after consideration of recorded accruals. With respect to material matters for which the Company believes an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, the Company has disclosed the nature of the matter and a range of potential exposure, unless an estimate cannot be made at this time. It is management’s opinion that the loss for any other litigation matters and claims that are reasonably possible to occur will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

For additional information on Legal Matters described below, refer to Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Australian Operations Divestiture Dispute

Pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated April 9, 2015 (Quadrant SPA), the Company and its subsidiaries divested Australian operations to Quadrant Energy Pty Ltd (Quadrant). Closing occurred on June 5, 2015. In April 2017, the Company filed suit against Quadrant for breach of the Quadrant SPA. In its suit, the Company seeks approximately AUD $80 million. In December 2017, Quadrant filed a defense of equitable set-off to the Company’s claim and a counterclaim seeking approximately AUD $200 million in the aggregate. In 2018, Quadrant was acquired by Australian oil and gas company Santos, Ltd., who assumed Quadrant’s place in the ongoing litigation. In early 2025, Santos amended the pending counterclaims to abandon a number of claims that had been asserted against the Company but maintaining counterclaims for approximately AUD $57 million. Santos then filed a new lawsuit in the Supreme Court of Western Australia contending that it may be liable to the Australian Taxation Office for assessments, penalties, and interest related to the 2014 and 2015 tax years of approximately AUD $133 million and asserting that, if such amounts must be paid, the Company is liable to Santos for those amounts under the Quadrant SPA. All lawsuits related to the Quadrant SPA have now been consolidated into the same proceeding. The Company will vigorously prosecute its claim while vigorously defending against any counterclaims.

Delaware Litigation

On September 10, 2020, the State of Delaware filed suit, individually and on behalf of the people of the State of Delaware, against over 25 oil and gas companies alleging damages as a result of global warming. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and abatement under various tort theories. The Company is vigorously defending the suit.

Environmental Matters

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had an undiscounted reserve for environmental remediation of approximately $2 million.

On May 11, 2026, the Company received a draft Administrative Penalty Assessment from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency concerning a December 12, 2025 Notice of Violation alleging violations of the Clean Air Act. The Notice of Violation followed helicopter flyovers between July 22, 2024, and August 19, 2024, at several of the Company’s oil and natural gas production facilities in the Texas Permian Basin. The notice and draft Administrative Penalty Assessment involve alleged emissions control and reporting violations. The Company is cooperating with the EPA and, while the Company is unable to reasonably estimate any potential loss associated with this matter, it is possible that resolution of this matter may result in a fine or penalty in excess of $300,000.

The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of September 30, 2026, that have not been provided for or would otherwise have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change or past non-compliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Company’s properties.

Potential Decommissioning Obligations on Sold Properties

In 2013, Apache sold its Gulf of America (GOA) Shelf operations and properties and its GOA operating subsidiary, GOM Shelf LLC (GOM Shelf) to Fieldwood Energy LLC (Fieldwood). Fieldwood assumed the obligation to decommission the properties held by GOM Shelf and the properties acquired from Apache and its other subsidiaries (collectively, the Legacy GOA Assets). On February 14, 2018, Fieldwood filed for (and subsequently emerged from) Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. On August 3, 2020, Fieldwood filed for (and subsequently emerged from) Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for a second time. Upon emergence from this second bankruptcy, the Legacy GOA Assets were separated into a standalone company, which was subsequently merged into GOM Shelf. Under GOM Shelf’s limited liability company agreement, the proceeds of production of the Legacy GOA Assets are to be used to fund the operation of GOM Shelf and the decommissioning of Legacy GOA Assets. The decommissioning obligations for the Legacy GOA Assets are partially secured by a trust account of which Apache is a beneficiary and which is funded by net profits interests (NPIs) depending on future oil prices. In addition, as part of the resolution of Fieldwood’s second bankruptcy, Apache agreed to loan GOM Shelf up to $400 million to perform decommissioning, with such loans extended from time to time and when funds in the trust account are exhausted. Such loans and related obligations are secured by first and prior liens on the Legacy GOA Assets.

By letter dated April 5, 2022 (replacingtwo earlier letters) and by subsequent letter dated March 1, 2023, GOM Shelf notified the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) that it was unable to fund the decommissioning obligations that it was obligated to perform on certain of the Legacy GOA Assets. As a result, Apache and other current and former owners in these assets have received orders from BSEE and demands from third parties to decommission certain of the Legacy GOA Assets included in GOM Shelf’s notifications to BSEE. Apache expects to receive similar orders and demands on the other Legacy GOA Assets included in GOM Shelf’s notification letters. Apache has also received orders to decommission other Legacy GOA Assets that were not included in GOM Shelf’s notification letters. Further, Apache anticipates that GOM Shelf may send additional such notices to BSEE in the future and that it may receive additional orders from BSEE requiring it to decommission other Legacy GOA Assets.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company has recorded an asset of $40 million representing the remaining amount the Company expects to be reimbursed from security related to these decommissioning costs.

The Company has also recorded contingent liabilities in the amounts of $765 million and $881 million for the periods ended September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, representing the estimated costs of decommissioning it may be required to perform on the Legacy GOA Assets. Of the total liability recorded as of September 30, 2026, $592 million is reflected under “Decommissioning contingency for sold Gulf of America properties” and $173 million is reflected under “Other current liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. There have been no other changes in estimates from December 31, 2025 that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

12. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are engaged in exploration, development, and/or production across four operating segments: the U.S., Egypt, North Sea, and Suriname. The Company’s business explores for, develops, and produces crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. The Company also has exploration interests in Alaska, Uruguay, and other international locations that may, over time, result in reportable discoveries and development opportunities.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is a function (not necessarily an individual) that allocates the resources of the reporting entity and assesses the performance of its segments. Decisions to assess performance and allocate resources are made by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), John J. Christmann IV. Therefore, management has concluded that the CEO of the Company is the CODM. The information regularly reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources is primarily associated with operating income from each segment and the resulting free cash flow, amongst other metrics. The Company concluded that the most comparable measure under U.S. GAAP is operating income.

Financial information for each segment is presented below:

(1)Includes oil and gas production revenue paid as taxes by EGPC on behalf of the Company for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025 of:

(2)Includes Suriname exploration expenses as the operating segment has not met the quantitative thresholds to be separately reported.

(3)Includes noncontrolling interests in Egypt.

(4)Represents significant segment expense categories that align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM. The remaining expenses that comprise the Operating Income (Loss) amount by segment are deemed to be other segment expense categories necessary to arrive at the segment profit or loss.

(5)Exploration expense under Other primarily reflects the Company’s Suriname exploration activities.

(6)Intercompany balances are excluded from total assets.
