6 Vår Energi – Third quarter report 2026 ABOUT VÅR ENERGI HIGHLIGHTS KEY METRICS AND TARGETS OPERATIONAL REVIEW FINANCIAL REVIEW FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES Operational review Production of oil, liquids and natural gas averaged 369 kboepd in the third quarter of 2026, impacted by operational issues mainly at Johan Castberg, the Jotun FPSO and production irregularities in the Åsgard Area. Vår Energi’s production in the first nine months of 2026 averaged 383 kboepd. With the planned main turnarounds for 2026 completed, and planned project start-up’s and infill wells ramping up in the fourth quarter of 2026, the Company is expected to deliver a revised full year 2026 production guidance of around 390 kboepd, compared to the original guidance of 390 to 410 kboepd. Vår Energi’s net production of oil, liquids and natural gas averaged 369 kboepd in the third quarter 2026. Performance for operated assets was consistent with target, with a production efficiency, including planned turnarounds, of 91% in first nine months of 2026. The Company’s production in the first nine months of 2026 of 383 kboepd was impacted by operation al issues at Johan Castberg FPSO, following a requirement to replace the offloading hose and issues in July with the power generation system, an extended turnaround in July at the Jotun FPSO due to a failure of the gas compressor requiring a replacement to be installed, these issues have been resolved, and production impact in the Åsgard area due to curtailments at the Kårstø onshore gas processing plant, and reduced gas production from Ormen Lange following subsea compressor issues. None of the main production impacts are reservoir related and have been managed effectively.

7 Vår Energi – Third quarter report 2026 ABOUT VÅR ENERGI HIGHLIGHTS KEY METRICS AND TARGETS OPERATIONAL REVIEW FINANCIAL REVIEW FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES The Eldfisk North Extension project commenced production in the second quarter of 2026, ahead of schedule, and the King Development project commenced production in the third quarter of 2026. The Company also plans to start-up the Balder Phase VI project in the last quarter of 2026. In addition, more than 50 new production wells are planned to come on stream during the year, with around 70% already in production, resulting in higher production in the fourth quarter. Production cost for the first nine months of 2026 was USD 10.9 per boe, compared with full - year guidance of approximately USD 10 per boe. The increase was primarily driven by the strengthening of the NOK against the USD, the unplanned maintenance in the second and third quarters, and higher fuel and power prices due to the conflict in the Middle East. The 2026 production cost guidance is revised to around USD 11 per boe. Vår Energi has 15 projects in execution, developing around 370 mmboe of proved plus probable (2P) net reserves1. The projects have strong economics with average breakeven of around USD 30 per boe and rate of return around 35%. Additionally, the Company is maturing around 30 early phase projects targeting 2C contingent resources of around 500 mmboe1. The Company expects to sanction up to 8 new projects during 2026, with four projects sanctioned year to date, developing a total of around 170 mmboe net 2P reserves 1. The 2026 development capital spend is expected to be in guided range of USD 2.5 to 2.7 billion, with the increase due to the strengthening of the NOK against the USD. The Company has made four commercial discoveries so far in 2026; Polynya and Skrugard North Tubåen in the Johan Castberg area, Frida Kahlo in the Sleipner area, and Omega Sør in the Snorre area. The Omega Sør discovery has a targeted project sanction in 20 26, as a subsea tie-back to the Snorre field. The Frida Kahlo discovery was drilled from the Sleipner B platform and started production already during the second quarter of 2026. Both the Polynya and Skrugard North Tubåen discoveries will be included in future subsea tie-back phases to the Johan Castberg FPSO. Vår Energi, Equinor and AkerBP announced in the quarter the establishment of a strategic exploration collaboration to pursue some of the largest remaining opportunities on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). The aim is to increase the chances of major discoveries that can support new standalone field developments and long-term value creation. The companies have agreed to combine expertise, data, technology and exploration capacity. Over the next four to five years, the companies plan to mature and test a portfolio of approximately 20 to 25 exploration opportunities, with an ambition to drill around five high - impact exploration wells annually. 1 Includes impact from recent transactions, subject to closing

8 Vår Energi – Third quarter report 2026 ABOUT VÅR ENERGI HIGHLIGHTS KEY METRICS AND TARGETS OPERATIONAL REVIEW FINANCIAL REVIEW FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES In July Vår Energi announced the combination with BlueNord ASA, building the largest independent producer of oil and gas in Europe. The transaction adds high -quality and long- life assets on the Danish Continental Shelf (DCS) with stable long -term production and limited near term investments, supporting resilient cash generation, strengthening Vår Energi’s long-term dividend capacity and the position as a reliable and secure supplier of energy to Europe. The combined company will have approximately 2.4 billi on boe of 2P reserves and 2C contingent resources, and the Company’s long-term production target is increased to around 450 kboepd. Completion of the transaction is subject to certain partner and authority approvals, and is targeted to complete around end 2026. During the year, Vår Energi agreed a series of value accretive transactions on the NCS to further optimise its asset portfolio, including the acquisition Pandion Energy AS’ portfolio, swap agreements with DNO Norge AS and Equinor, and divestments in the Go liat field, Fenja field and Ringhorne North discovery. During the third quarter, Vår Energi entered into an agreement with Kistos Energy Norway AS to further align ownership interests across the Balder Area. The transactions support Vår Energi’s strategy of actively high-grading its portfolio by increasing exposure to core areas, targeting high-value opportunities, strengthen positions around key hubs, adding ownership in producing assets and near-term developments, and improve capital allocation flexibility across the business. The transactions will secure long - term production growth in the Gjøa and Åsgard areas and contribute to align interests in the Ringhorne North development. Vår Energi will retain operatorship of both the Goliat and Fenja fields and will assume operatorship of the Peon 1 gas discovery. The DNO swap and acquisition of Pandion’s assets were completed at the end of third quarter. The remaining transactions are expected to close in fourth quarter of 2026, with completion subject to customary authority approvals. 1 Transfer of operatorship is subject to Ministry of Energy approval

Production efficiency at Balder/Ringhorne was 88% year to date, including planned turnarounds. The turnaround at the Jotun FPSO in the third quarter was impacted by the failure of the gas compressor during the planned start -up requiring a replacement to be installed. This is now rectified and normal production resumed at end July. During the third quarter the final Balder Phase V wells were completed and the King Development project started production in the quarter. Average production year to date from the Balder Area was 105 kboepd, and production is expected to increase in t he fourth quarter of 2026 following the conclusion of the turnarounds, start -up of new wells and start-up of the Balder phase VI project. 1 Danish Underground Consortium (DUC) is a Danish E&P joint venture in which BlueNord owns 36.8% working interest.

10 Vår Energi – Third quarter report 2026 ABOUT VÅR ENERGI HIGHLIGHTS KEY METRICS AND TARGETS OPERATIONAL REVIEW FINANCIAL REVIEW FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES In the second quarter the 2P reserves at the Breidablikk field was increased by 50% from the Plan for Development and Operations (PDO) submission in 2021, driven by improved and successful placement of the horizontal development wells at the top of the reservoir and better than expected reservoir performance resulting in improved recovery factor. The total recoverable reserves and resources are now estimated to be around 350 mmboe gross 1. The Breidablikk Phase 2 development including new subsea templates is being matured to fully exploit these upside resources. This is a strong enabler for the extended lifetime to 2060 for the Grane platform as the host for Breidablikk. Projects The Balder Phase VI project is nearing completion, with first oil expected in the fourth quarter 2026. Together with the Balder Phase V project, this will capture gross 2P reserves of around 50 mmboe2. The King Development project was sanctioned in early 2026 and started-up as planned in the third quarter 2026, as an extended reach well from the Ringhorne platform. This project adds gross 2P reserves of around 9 mmboe 2, with breakeven level below USD 15 per boe. The Balder Next projects, comprising of Jotun FPSO debottlenecking, New Wells and Balder Floating Production Unit (FPU) decommissioning, is targeting to develop the next phase for the Balder field and unlock significant contingent resources. In the fourth quarter 2025, the Jotun FPSO Debottlenecking project was sanctioned, the project will increase water and gas handling capacity at the FPSO, which allows for accelerated production. The project is expected to be largely complete by end 2026, with exception of installation of an upgraded compressor system, which will be completed in either 2027 or 2028. The project facilitates for the retirement of the Balder FPU, that is planned in 2028, with planned sanction in late 2026. The decommissioning of Balder FPU is expected to reduce operating costs by around USD 130 million gross per annum and CO2 emissions by around 70 thousand tonnes gross per year. The Balder Next New Wells project was sanctioned in June 2026 and comprises a first phase development of seven new wells tied back to the Jotun FPSO, with expected start -up in the fourth quarter of 2027. The project will develop 86 mmboe 1 gross 2P reserves and has strong economics with a breakeven of around USD 30 per boe and a rate of return of more than 35%. The above-mentioned projects contribute to ensure high value barrels from the Balder area towards 2050. Additional early phase projects are being progressed at pace to utilise the production capacity of the Balder facilities long term. Portfolio optimisations Vår Energi’s acquisition of a 15% interest in the Ringhorne North (PL956) discovery from DNO Norge AS was completed at the end of third quarter. The transaction strengthens the Company’s position in the strategically important Balder area, contribute to align ownership interest and adding exposure to the near-term development. Vår Energi has entered into an agreement with Kistos Energy Norway AS to divest a 10% interest in each of PL956, PL956B and PL169E. The transaction further aligns ownership interests across the Balder Area, supporting more efficient management of the hub and long-term value creation. 1 Vår Energi working interest 34.4% 2 Vår Energi working interest 90%

11 Vår Energi – Third quarter report 2026 ABOUT VÅR ENERGI HIGHLIGHTS KEY METRICS AND TARGETS OPERATIONAL REVIEW FINANCIAL REVIEW FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES Barents Sea Production (kboepd) Q3 2026 Q2 2026 Q1 2026 Q4 2025 Q3 2025 Goliat 19 12 14 15 16 Johan Castberg 53 60 58 47 64 Snøhvit 17 15 16 17 9 Total Barents Sea 89 86 88 78 90 Average production in the Barents Sea was 89 kboepd in the third quarter, an increase of 3% compared to the previous quarter. The overall production from Johan Castberg has been impacted by two operational issues, one in late 2025 and early 2026 when Johan Castberg experienced problems with the offloading hose, used for exporting of oil from the FPSO to the shuttle tankers, this was rectified in early January. While in late second quarter and leading into the third quarter the production was impacted by issues with the power generation system on the FPSO. The issue was rectified and production resumed in mid-July and is now producing at plateau levels. The Goliat field continued to deliver strong operational performance, with production efficiency of 95% year to date, including planned turnaround activities in the second quarter. Two infill oil producers have commenced production year to date and are pro ducing above expectations. Average production year to date from the Barents Sea was 88 kboepd, and production levels in the fourth quarter of 2026 are expected to be higher as there are no planned turnarounds and the Johan Castberg FPSO is producing at full capacity. Projects The Goliat Gas Export project was sanctioned in first quarter 2026. This project will provide a gas export solution for Goliat, and facilitate for gas production from Goliat, which will extend the field life to 2050 and in addition increase oil production by optimising the reservoir management. This project will develop gross 2P reserves of 112 mmboe 1. The project also facilitates for future value-accretive developments in the area, including the Goliat Ridge project which is being matured. Snøhvit is progressing the next plateau extension project, the Snøhvit Future Project, that entails both onshore compression and electrification of the Hammerfest LNG onshore facility. The start-up of onshore compression is now planned first half of 2029, one yea r after the original plan, and the plant will be electrified with power from the grid in 2030. The cost estimated has been increased due to the complexities with the integration of the new facilities into an operating LNG plant to around USD 3.4 billion gross compared to the original PDO estimate of USD 1.6 billion gross 2. This represents a minor net change compared to the estimate used in the third quarter 2025 financial statement. Portfolio optimisations In the second quarter, Vår Energi announced the divestment of a 20% stake in the Goliat field to Orlen Upstream AS. Following completion, the Company will retain a 45% interest and operatorship of Goliat. The Goliat field in the Barents Sea remains a key h ub and of strategic importance to Vår Energi. The divestments allow the Company to accelerate value creation from recent exploration success while maintaining operatorship and exposure to future value creation. 1 Vår Energi working interest 65%, excluding divestment of 20% working interest to Orlen Upstream Norway which is expected to close in fourth quarter 2026 2 Vår Energi working interest 12%

Average production in the North Sea year to date was 78 kboepd in line with expectations. Vår Energi’s ope rated assets in the Gjøa Area had a 97% production efficiency year to date, including planned turnaround activities in the second quarter. The turnaround at the Sleipner Area was successfully executed as per plan in September. Restoration of Sleipner B production after the fire in 2024 is ongoing and the full production is expected to be resumed in the first quarter of 2028, currently around 4 kboepd net is shut- in. Projects The Gjøa Subsea Projects were sanctioned in the second quarter of 2026, and Plan for Development and Operations (PDOs) was delivered to the Ministry of Energy in June. The project comprises of the Ofelia, Gjøa Nord and Cerisa discoveries in three separate licences, as a coordinated subsea development tied back to the Gjøa area facilities. First production is expected from Cerisa West in the third quarter of 2027, followed by start -up from Ofelia, Gjøa Nord and Cerisa Main in 2028. In total, the project will develop 2P reserves of 76 mmboe gross1 and is expected to extend the lifetime of the Gjøa area from the early 2030s to around 2040. The project has strong economics, with a breakeven below 35 USD per boe , and a rate of return of above 25%. In the Ekofisk area the Ekofisk PPF (Previously Produced Fields) project is developing 126 mmboe2 2P reserves gross, and with an expected start-up is in 2028. In the Snorre area, the Beta and Dugong projects are targeting sanctions in 2027. The developments are close to the Snorre facilities and will be developed as coordinated subsea tie--back projects.

13 Vår Energi – Third quarter report 2026 ABOUT VÅR ENERGI HIGHLIGHTS KEY METRICS AND TARGETS OPERATIONAL REVIEW FINANCIAL REVIEW FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES Portfolio optimisations Vår Energi has entered into an asset exchange with Equinor and will acquire a 32.5% interest in the Peon discovery (PL269, PL318/B/C/D), with the plan to tie it back to the Gjøa facilities. As a part of the transaction Equinor will transfer the operatorship to Vår Energi (subject to Ministry of Energy approval). Peon is one of the largest undeveloped gas discoveries on the NCS with estimated gross recoverable resources of 105 to 195 mmboe and is located approximately 60 kilometres northwest of the Vår Energi operated Gjøa field. The development will add high value production from around 2030 as Peon is brought on stream and will extend the economic lifetime of the Gjøa hub to around 2045. The completion of the transaction is expected in fourth quarter of 2026 and is subject to customary authority approvals. Additionally, through the acquisition of Pandion and DNO assets on the NCS, Vår Energi adds a 15% interest in the Nova field (PL418), a 20% interest in the Ofelia development (PL929) and a portfolio of exploration licences in the Gjøa area, including the Annabelle prospect (PL929), which is planned to be drilled later this year. The transaction was completed at the end of the third quarter. The transaction strengthens Vår Energi’s position around the Gjøa infrastructure, increasing ownership across producing assets and key development projects, including Nova, which is currently the only producing asset tied to the infrastructure where the Company does not currently hold an ownership interest. This adds near-term production while reinforcing the Company’s strategy of optimising ownership around existing hubs.

Halten East reached plateau production during second quarter and has continued to deliver stable production during third quarter. Åsgard production has been curtailed during second and third quarters due to reduced capacity, following unplanned maintenance, at the Kårstø onshore gas processing plant. During the third quarter, production from Ormen Lange was impacted by compressor reliability issues within the subsea compression system. One compression station is currently offline, and production is operating at around 60% capacity. Average production year to date was 114 kboepd, and production for fourth quarter 2026 is expected to be higher mainly due to higher production from Åsgard as majority of planned maintenance is completed, no further production curtailments are expected due to the Kårstø onshore facilities and Halten East remains at plateau production. A new Fenja infill well commenced production during third quarter, with production as expected. Projects In the Fenja area, the Vidsyn discovery made in 2025 is being further matured and the project is targeting sanction in 2027 with a potential start-up in 2029. The discovery has the potential to hold up to 100 mmboe gross1. The reservoir contains high-quality gas- condensate only eight kilometres from the existing Fenja subsea infrastructure, which is tied-in to the Njord host facility. Portfolio optimisations Through the recent acquisition of Pandion’s assets, Vår Energi adds a 49% interest in the Sierra Solberg discovery (PL263) which is being planned as a subsea tie -back development into the Åsgard facilities. In the second quarter, Vår Energi agreed to divest a 25% interest in the Fenja area to Concedo AS. Following completion, the Company will retain a 50% interest in the Fenja area and remain operator. The divestment allows the Company to accelerate value creation from recent exploration success while maintaining operatorship and exposure to future va lue creation. 1 Vår Energi working interest 75%, excluding divestment of 25% working interest to Concedo AS expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026

The Company is awarded the badge “2025 Sustainalytics ESG top rated Industry”. The Company is also the only operator on the NCS with an ISO 50001:2018 energy management certification. During the third quarter, the Company received its first MSCI ESG Rating and achieved an AA rating, placing Vår Energi in the MSCI ESG Leader category. Vår Energi targets to reduce its net equity scope 1 GHG 1 emissions from three main levers; electrification with power from shore, portfolio optimisation and energy management. It is expected that approximately 40% of the Company’s production is produced with power from shore when the sanctioned electrification projects at Njord and Snøhvit have been completed. In addition to emission reductions, Vår Energi is on the path to become carbon neutral in net equity operational emissions by 2030 through carbon removals in the voluntary carbon market. Carbon removals will be used for residual emissions and Vår Energi has entered into flexible agreements to achieve this. Vår Energi has achieved the target of zero scope 2 (market based) emissions 2 through energy efficiencies and purchase of guarantees of origin from renewable sources for the residual scope 2 emissions. In the third quarter of 2026 scope 1 net equity CO 2 emissions intensity was 8.5 kg CO2 per boe, and for the first nine months of 2026 scope 1 net equity CO 2 emissions intensity was around 8.6 kg CO2 per boe. This level of emissions intensity is in line with the Company guidance for 2026 and is in the top 15% of world industry performance. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 the operated methane emission intensity for Vår Energi is 0.03%3, well below the Near Zero levels4. Vår Energi maintains a value-driven approach to CCS5. The ambition is to develop the Trudvang EXL007 licence (operator, 40% working interest) into an attractive CO 2 transport and storage hub on the NCS for European emitters. The licence is targeting project concept selection during 2026 and potential sanction in 2027, subject to the establishment of a robust commercial value chain. During the third quarter of 2026 Vår Energi entered into an agreement with Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), one of the largest shipping and logistics companies in the world, to bring NYK into the Trudvang partnership through the transfer of a 30% interest in the licence 6. 1 Greenhouse gas 2 Vår Energi’s share of operations where the Company is the operator 3 Emitted CH4 vs exported gas 4 Near zero below 0.2% as per OGCI definition 5 Carbon capture and storage 6 Following the required governmental approval of the transaction, the partnership will consist of Vår Energi CCS AS (operator, 40%), INPEX Idemitsu Norge AS (30%), and NYK (30%).

This was mainly due to working capital movements and higher tax payments in the quarter. Net cash used in investing activities was USD 828 million in the quarter, whereof USD 699 million was related to PP&E expenditures. Net cash inflow from financing activities amounted to USD 1 552 million in the quarter. Cash inflow in the quarter mainly consisted of proceeds from bond issuing of USD 2 500 million, offset by interest paid of USD 54 million, repayment of bonds of USD 500 million, interest paid to hybrid owners of USD 10 million and dividends paid of USD 350 million. Free cash flow (FCF) was USD 758 million in the quarter, compared to USD 1 395 million in the previous quarter. The decrease is mainly driven by lower cash flow from operations and higher Capex.

23 Vår Energi – Third quarter report 2026 ABOUT VÅR ENERGI HIGHLIGHTS KEY METRICS AND TARGETS OPERATIONAL REVIEW FINANCIAL REVIEW FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES Outlook Vår Energi has an ambition to deliver value-driven growth to support attractive long-term dividend distributions. The Company’s full year production guidance for 2026 is around 390 kboepd. For 2026, the Company expects development capex between USD 2 500 and 2 700 million, USD 250-300 million in exploration spend and around USD 200 million in abandonment spend. Production cost is expected to be around USD 11 per boe in 2026. In the current macro and operating environment Vår Energi’s material cash flow generation and investment grade balance sheet support attractive dividend distributions. Vår Energi’s long-term dividend policy is 25-30% of CFFO after tax over the cycle. To ensure continuous access to capital at competitive cost, retaining investment grade credit ratings is a priority for Vår Energi. As such, the Company targets a NIBD/EBITDAX of below 1.3x through the cycle. Transactions with related parties For details on transactions with related parties, see note 24 in the Financial Statements. Subsequent events See note 26 in the Financial Statements. Risks and uncertainties Vår Energi is exposed to a variety of risks associated with its oil and gas operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS). Factors such as exploration, reserve and resource estimates, and projections for capital and operating costs are subject to inherent uncertainties. Additionally, the production performance of operated and partner operated oil and gas fields exhibit variability over time and is also affected by planned and unplanned maintenance and turnaround activities. A high activity level on the NCS create challenges for resource availability and may influence the planned progress and costs of Vår Energi's ongoing development projects, which encompass advanced engineering work, extensive procurement activities, and complex construction endeavors. The Company is also exposed to a variety of risks typically associated with the oil and gas sector such as fluctuations in commodity prices, exchange rates, interest rates, and capital requirements. Increasing geopolitical tensions have introduced an elevated level of uncertainty into the energy landscape, affecting supply chains and contributing to global economic volatility. Sudden geopolitical developments can influence energy markets, potentially impacting regulatory environments, trade agreements, and geopolitical stability in regions critical to Vår Energi’s operations. These uncertainties may impact the predictability of market conditions, affecting both short-term decision-making and long-term strategic planning. Tensions over trade tariffs increase and potential impacts on global demand and oil and gas supply dynamics introduced additional uncertainties and increased further the level of volatility in the financial market, affecting commodity prices, exchange rates and interest rates. Climate change mitigation is impacting our operations and business with the introduction of new regulations and taxes on CO2 emissions aiming to impact the demand for regular fossil fuels. Additionally, the cost of capital may increase as investors modify their behavior in response to these transformative trends. The Company is managing the climate related transition risks by making its business strategies more resilient. The Company’s operational, financial, strategic, compliance risks and the mitigation of these risks are described in the annual report for 2025, available on www.varenergi.no.

31 Vår Energi – Third quarter report 2026 ABOUT VÅR ENERGI HIGHLIGHTS KEY METRICS AND TARGETS OPERATIONAL REVIEW FINANCIAL REVIEW FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES Notes (All figures in USD million unless otherwise stated) The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2026 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. Thus, the interim financial statements do not include all information required by IFRS®’s and should be read in conjunction with the 2025 annual financial statements. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and interim periods presented. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for an annual period. These interim financial statements have not been subject to review or audit by independent auditors. These interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company Board of Directors on 20 October 2026. Note 1 Summary of IFRS accounting principles Accounting principles adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, except for the change in functional currency. Material estimates and judgements made by management in applying the IFRS Accounting Standards are the same as those applied in the 2025 annual financial statements. None of the amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards effective from 1 January 2026 has had a significant impact on the condensed interim financial statements. Vår Energi has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Functional currency Effective 1 June 2026, Vår Energi ASA changed its functional currency from Norwegian kroner (NOK) to U.S. dollars (USD) in accordance with IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. Following a reassessment of the indicators set out in IAS 21, management concluded that USD has become the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. The reassessment reflects significant changes over time in the company's underlying economic circumstances since the previous functional currency assessment. In particular, increased production volumes and the start-up of new producing fields have resulted in a substantial growth in petroleum revenues denominated USD. Management acknowledges that certain indicators supporting a USD functional currency started developing prior to 2026. The implementation and maturation of the Company’s accounting system SAP S/4HANA and the audited balance sheet as at 31 May 2026 provided a practical, reliable and controlled basis for implementing the change from 1 June 2026, supporting the timing and application of the change. Management therefore concluded that USD is the currency that most faithfully reflects the economic effects of the Company's underlying transactions, events and conditions. The change has been applied prospectively from 1 June 2026 in accordance with IAS 21. Comparative information has not been restated.

32 Vår Energi – Third quarter report 2026 ABOUT VÅR ENERGI HIGHLIGHTS KEY METRICS AND TARGETS OPERATIONAL REVIEW FINANCIAL REVIEW FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES Note 2 Business combination On 30 September 2026 the Company completed the acquisition of Pandion’s 10% share in the Nova field, 20% in the Ofelia and 49% in the Sierra Solberg discoveries. The cash consideration amounted to USD 79.7 million, comprising the agreed consideration of USD 110 million less settlement adjustments relating to the period from 1 January 2026 to completion. On the same date the Company completed the swap with DNO Norge AS, acquiring 5 % in Nova and 15% in the Ringhorne North discovery in exchange for 5% of the operated field Gjøa and a balancing consideration of USD 17.5 million. Vår Energi ASA received USD 11.4 million in cash consideration, comprising the settlement incurred in the period from 1 January to completion offset by the consideration amount paid. The acquisitions are regarded as business combinations and have been accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3. USD million 30 Sep 2026 Value of swap and cash consideration 95.7 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for differences between the fair values assigned to the acquired assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Licenses can only be sold in a market after tax, a decision made by the Norwegian Ministry of Finance pursuant to the Petroleum Taxation Act Section 10. The assessment of fair value of such licenses is therefore based on cash flows after tax. Nevertheless, in accordance with IAS 12 para 15 and 19, a provision is made for deferred tax corresponding to the tax rate multiplied by the difference between the acquisition cost and the tax base. The offsetting entry to this deferred tax is goodwill. Hence, goodwill arises as a technical effect of deferred tax ("technical goodwill"). None of the goodwill recognised will be deductible for tax purposes. Pro forma revenue and profit or loss for the combined entity, assuming the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the annual reporting period, have not been presented because the amounts would not differ materially from those reported in the consolidated financial statements.

This means that accounting foreign exchange gains and losses are replaced by NOK translation effects on monetary items, and historical tax balances are maintained and depreciated in NOK. Payable tax balances are calculated and maintained in NOK and translated to USD at the period-end exchange rate. Any revaluation of current tax payable resulting from movements in the NOK/USD exchange rate is recognised within income tax expense. Consequently, exchange rate fluctuations impact the effective tax rate reported in the financial statements.

As the CGUs remain in production, this constitutes an ongoing indicator of impairment. Impairment testing of property, plant and equipment and related intangible assets was performed as of 30 September 2026. Key assumptions applied for impairment testing purposes as of 30 September 2026 are based on Vår Energi’s macroeconomic assumptions. Below is an overview of the key assumptions applied: Prices Oil and gas prices are based on the forward curve for the first three years and on the Company’s long-term price assumptions thereafter. Vår Energi’s long term oil price assumption is USD 79/bbl (real 2026), while the long-term gas price assumption is EUR 31/MWh (real 2026). The nominal long-term price assumptions are unchanged from 30 June 2026. The nominal oil prices (USD/bbl) applied in the impairment tests are as follows: Year 31 Dec 2025 30 Jun 2026 30 Sep 2026 2026 62.5 73.1 100.9 2027 70.0 73.9 86.3 2028 78.9 77.9 80.9 The nominal gas prices (USD/boe) applied in the impairment tests are as follows: Year 31 Dec 2025 30 Jun 2026 30 Sep 2026 2026 54.4 83.8 146.8 2027 55.4 67.2 100.7 2028 58.8 60.3 67.4

Inflation Inflation is assumed to be 3.0% in 2026, 2.5% in 2027 and 2.0% thereafter. The inflation assumption for 2026 increased from 2.5% and 2027 increased from 2.0% as of 30 June 2026. Impairments charge/reversal Exploration disposals during the third quarter resulted in impairment of related technical goodwill of USD 0.2 million. The impairment testing performed as of 30 September 2026 did not identify any further impairments, primarily reflecting higher near-term commodity price assumptions. Sensitivity analysis The table below illustrates the potential impact on impairment losses or reversals for assets and technical goodwill from changes in the key assumptions, holding all other assumptions constant The sensitivity analysis is provided for illustrative purposes and is based on a simplified methodology that assumes no changes in other input factors. Significant reductions in oil and gas prices or production profiles could result in changes to business plans, economic field cut-off dates and other assumptions used in estimating recoverable amounts. Such changes could reduce the actual impairment impact compared with the illustrative sensitivities presented below. Change in impairment after Assumption USD million Change Increase in assumptions Decrease in assumptions Oil and gas prices short and long term +/-25% - 2 116 Oil and gas prices forward period +/-25% - 9 Production profile +/- 5% - 15 Discount rate +/- 1% point - - Climate related risks The climate related risk assessment is generally described in the company’s annual report. Impairment testing includes a step up of CO2 tax/fees from current levels to approximately NOK 2 371 per ton in 2030 (real 2025).

In May 2023 interest rate swaps were entered into for the same amount as the EUR 600 million Senior Note. Under the swaps, the Company receives a fixed amount equal to the coupon payment for the EUR senior notes and pays a floating rate to the swap providers. The interest rate swaps are accounted for as a fair value hedge. Interest swaps are reflected at fair value with fair value changes to be accounted for as other financial income/expenses. Bond debt is initially recognised at nominal value. The carrying value is adjusted to reflect changes in interest level with fair value changes accounted for as other financial income/expenses. Inefficiencies in hedging are measured and booked against fair value of bond debt and accounted for as other financial income/expenses (note 7). As of 30 September 2026, Vår Energi had the following volumes of commodity derivatives in place with the following average strike prices: Hedging instruments - Brent crude Volume (no of options outstanding at balance sheet date) in million (BBL) Long Put Exercise price (USD per bbl) Short Call Exercise price (USD per bbl) Long Call Exercise price (USD per bbl) Swap Exercise price (USD per bbl) Collar options, exercisable in 2026 1.0 75 140 - - Collar options, exercisable in 2027 1.2 70 92 - - Hedging instruments - Gas Volume (no of options outstanding at balance sheet date) in million (MWH) Long Put exercise price(EUR per MWh) Short Call Exercise price (EUR per MWh) Long Call Exercise price (EUR per MWh) Swap Exercise price (EUR per MWh) Collar options, exercisable in 2026 0.5 42 137 - - Swaps, exercisable in 2026 0.1 - - - 48 3-way options, exercisable in 2026 0.3 40 70 80 - Collar options, exercisable in 2027 1.0 41 101 - - 3-way options, exercisable in 2027 0.3 40 102 112 - Brent crude put options – financial assets USD million Note Q3 2026 Q1-Q2 2026 2025 The beginning of the period 18.9 - 17.2 New derivatives 4.8 14.3 - Realised hedges exercised 3 - (0.3) - Change in fair value realised hedges (4.4) (0.1) (17.2) Change in fair value unrealised hedges (13.0) 5.0 - The end of the period 6.3 18.9 - As of 30 September 2026, the fair value of outstanding commodity derivatives assets is USD 6.3 million.

Vår Energi ASA’s share saving program gives employees the opportunity to buy shares in Vår Energi ASA through monthly salary deductions. If the shares are retained for two full calendar years with continuous employment after the end of the saving year, the employees will be awarded a bonus share for each share they have purchased. This will be settled by Vår Energi ASA buying shares in the market. The award is treated as equity settled. The dilutive effect of equity settled shares under the share saving program is immaterial to the EPS calculation.

For the hybrid bonds issued, the Company has the right to defer coupon payments and ultimately decide not to pay at maturity. Deferred coupon payments become payable, however, if the Company decides to pay dividends to the shareholders. Separation of embedded derivative in the hybrid bond The hybrid bond issued in April 2026 contains an issuer call option that the Company has assessed as an embedded derivative. Management has concluded that the call option is not closely related to the host debt component under IFRS 9 B4.3.5(e), as the exercise price neither approximates the amortised cost of the host debt nor compensates the holder for lost interest over the remaining term. The derivative has therefore been separated and is measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value at the reporting date is assessed to be close to zero, as the underlying coupon payments are fully discretionary. This conclusion involves significant judgment, and a different assessment could have resulted in the call option being accounted for as an integral feature of the host debt, with a corresponding effect on the allocation between the liability and equity components at initial recognition.

In September 2026, the Company issued three tranches of USD Senior Fixed Rate Notes totalling USD 2 500 million, split into notional value and remain due on, USD 750 million September 2029, USD 750 million September 2031 and USD 1 000 million September 2036, respectively. Of which USD 250 million of the 2031 Notes, and USD 1 000 million of the 2036 Notes were hedged through two Fixed to Floating Swaps. The use of proceeds included the redemption of the May 2027 USD 500 million Notes. The Notes are registered on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange ("LuxSE") and coupon payments are made semi-annually for the USD Notes and annually for the EUR Notes. The Securities have no financial covenants. The liability part of the two EUR 750 million Subordinated Fixed Rate Reset Notes is reflected as interest bearing debt. Under IAS 32 para 15, Vår Energi has recognised the net present value of the principal as debt in the balance sheet on initial recognition. The difference between the proceeds and debt recognised is recorded as equity. For more details on the EUR Fixed Rate Reset Notes, see note 18. As of 30 September 2026, the Company’s unsecured Revolving Credit Facilities totaling USD 2,750 million, split over a USD 1 000 million Working Capital Facility and a USD 1 750 million Liquidity Facility remain due for maturity in May 2029 and May 2031 respectively with the option to extend for an additional year at the lenders’ discretion. The facilities have covenants covering leverage (net interest-bearing debt to 12 months rolling EBITDAX not to exceed 3.5) and interest coverage (EBITDA to 12 months rolling interest expenses shall exceed 5) which will be tested at the end of each calendar quarter. The interest rate payable for each of the facilities is dependent on the company’s credit rating taking the aggregate of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and the Credit Adjustment Spread (CAS) and adding the applicable margin. The carrying amounts of bonds presented in the table above include cumulative fair value hedge adjustments. The reconciliation below shows the carrying amounts before these adjustments. For the USD 750 million Senior Notes due 2031, USD 250 million of the nominal amount is designated in a fair value hedge of interest-rate risk using interest-rate swaps. The cumulative fair value hedge adjustment relates solely to this designated portion; the remaining USD 500 million is not designated in the hedge. The full nominal amounts of the USD 1 000 million Senior Notes due 2036 and the EUR 600 million Senior Notes due 2029 are designated in fair value hedges of interest-rate risk.

In the ordinary course of business, the company is involved in disputes, including tax disputes. Provisions are recognised for probable liabilities relating to litigation and claims based on management’s best estimate and in accordance with IAS 37 and IAS 12. After disagreements among the Breidablikk Unit participants, the Ministry of Energy resolved the distribution of the Breidablikk field on June 29, 2021, and this decision was confirmed by the King in Council on October 8, 2021. According to the allocation, Vår Energi holds a 34.4% equity share in the field. Vår Energi argues that it has received about 5% less than what it is entitled to. The claim has been dismissed by the Sør Rogaland District Court and the Gulating Appeal Court. Vår Energi appealed the decision to the Supreme Court, which ruled against the Company in October 2026. On January 18, 2024, the Oslo District Court found that government approvals for the Plans for Development and Operation (“PDO”) for Breidablikk, Tyrving, and Yggdrasil were invalid because of inadequate climate impact assessments regarding CO2 combustion emissions from end-users. A temporary injunction was issued to prevent new approvals for activities on these fields. Vår Energi is not a party to the dispute but is impacted as a licensee in the Breidablikk field holding 34.4% equity share. The Norwegian state appealed this decision, and on November 14, 2025, the Borgarting Court of Appeal determined that both previous PDO approvals and the Ministry of Energy’s 2024 decision to maintain those approvals after additional emission impact assessments were invalid due to insufficiently reasoned decisions. The court also imposed a new temporary injunction requiring the state to issue new PDO decisions within six months of the ruling. The state has appealed the decision to the Supreme Court, with a judgment expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. At present, there are no direct effects on production at Breidablikk or immediate obligations for licensees, since the Court of Appeal concluded that licensees had satisfied their requirements to carry out impact assessments.
