Directional total equity increased by US$534 million from US$2,002 million at December 31, 2024 to US$2,536 million at December 31, 2025. This increase is driven by (i) the positive net result over the period and (ii) the increase of the hedging reserve, partially offset by (iii) the dividends distributed to the shareholders of EUR150 million (equivalent to US$170 million1) and (iv) the cumulative share repurchase amount of EUR154 million, equivalent to US$174 million2 (2024: EUR102 million, equivalent to US$102 million) in relation to:
- The EUR65 million share repurchase program effective from August 8, 2024 and fully completed on April 23, 2025; and
- The EUR141 million share repurchase program effective from April 24, 2025, which is expected to be completed by February 26, 2026.
In line with the progress of the share repurchase program, the Company cancelled 5,000,000 ordinary shares on November 3, 2025, representing 2.8% of the Company’s issued share capital. The total and final number of shares to be cancelled will be determined upon completion of the share repurchase program.
The movement in the hedging reserve was mainly caused by (i) the increase in marked-to-market value of forward currency contracts, driven by the depreciation of the US$ exchange rate versus the hedged currencies (especially EUR and BRL), partially offset by (ii) the negative impact of the marked-to-market value of interest rate swaps due to decreasing US$ market interest rates.
It should be noted that under Directional policy, historically the contribution to profit and equity of the FPSOs program under construction has mainly materialized in the operating phase at the Company’s share of ownership in lessor-related SPVs, in line with the generation of associated operating cash flows which is also applicable to FSO Chalchi. With regards to FPSO Jaguar and FPSO GranMorgu which, contrary to the other FPSOs under construction, are classified as construction contracts falling solely in the scope of IFRS 15, their contribution to profit and equity will largely materialize in the coming years during the construction period both under IFRS and Directional reporting principles.
Directional net debt slightly decreased by US$(68) million from US$5,719 million at December 31, 2024 to US$5,651 million at December 31, 2025. While the Turnkey (as a result of recent Sale and Operate contracts) and the Lease and Operate segments generated strong operating cash flows, the Company (i) implemented of a new financing tool with the sale and leaseback financing agreement for FPSO Cidade de Paraty fully drawn during the period, (ii) continued to draw on project finance facilities for FPSO Alexandre de Gusmão and FPSO ONE GUYANA to finalize the related investment in growth and (iii) implemented the construction financing for FPSO Jaguar. These were partially offset by (iv) the scheduled repayment of non-recourse project debt, (v) the full repayment of the MPF facility, (vi) the partial repayment of the RCF, (vii) the full repayment of the US private placement notes in relation to FPSO Cidade de Anchieta and (viii) the strong return to shareholders.
More than two thirds of the Company’s Directional debt, as of December 31, 2025, consisted of non-recourse project financing (US$5.3 billion) in special purpose investees. The remainder (US$1.1 billion) comprised (i) the construction financing for FPSO Jaguar which will be repaid following completion of construction, and (ii) the Company’s new RCF, which was drawn for US$100 million as at December 31, 2025. Directional cash and cash equivalents amounted to US$891 million (December 31, 2024: US$606 million) and lease liabilities totaled US$115 million (December 31, 2024: US$93 million).
Directional net debt is reconciled to IFRS figures as follows:

Directional total assets increased to US$11.7 billion as at December 31, 2025, compared with US$10.8 billion at year-end 2024, following (i) the investments in property, plant and equipment for FPSOs under construction during the period net of depreciation of the period on FPSOs under operation, (ii) the investments in multi-purpose floater hulls and related equipment under construction for use in future projects, (iii) the increase of contract assets and receivables mostly related to FPSO projects under construction at the end of the year and (iv) net cash generation.
Directional cash from operating activities for the period was positive at US$1,166 million. This reflected strong cash flows generated by the fleet under operations and the positive Turnkey cash flows benefiting mostly from client milestone payments on Sale and Operate model FPSO projects.
