Definitions & cautionary note Gearing is defined as net debt as a percentage of total capital. With effect from 2018, the net debt calculation includes the fair value of derivative financial instruments used to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate risks relating to debt, and associated collateral balances. Free Cash Flow is defined as the sum of Cash flow from operating activities and Cash flow from investing activities. Cash flow from operating activities excluding working capital movements is defined as Cash flow from operating activities less the sum of the following items in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows: (i) (increase)/decrease in inventories, (ii) (increase)/decrease in current receivables, and (iii) increase/(decrease) in current payables. Organic free cash flow is defined as free cash flow excluding inorganic capital investment (acquisitions) and divestment proceeds. ROACE (Return on Average Capital Employed) is defined as the sum of current cost of supplies (CCS) earnings attributable to shareholders excluding identified items for the current and previous three quarters, as a percentage of the average capital employed for the same period. Capital employed consists of total equity, current debt and noncurrent debt. Capital investment comprises capital expenditure, exploration expense excluding well write-offs, new investments in joint ventures and associates, new finance leases and investments in Integrated Gas, Upstream and Downstream equity securities, all of which on an accruals basis. Divestments comprises proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and businesses, joint ventures and associates, and other Integrated Gas, Upstream and Downstream investments, reported in Cash flow from investing activities (CFFI), adjusted onto an accruals basis and for any share consideration received or contingent consideration recognised upon divestment, as well as proceeds from the sale of interests in entities while retaining control (for example, proceeds from sale of interest in Shell Midstream Partners, L.P.). Headline divestments is a non-gaap metric. Divestment cash proceeds in 2016-2018 were equal to $26.7 billion (in Cash flow from investing activities) and $2.1 billion ( Change in non-controlling interest in Cash flow from financing activities, primarily related to Shell Midstream Partners, L.P.). Additionally certain contingent payments associated with these divestments are expected to be received in the future. This presentation contains the following forward-looking Non-GAAP measures: Organic Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow, Capital Investment, CCS Earnings less identified items, Operating Expenses, ROACE, Capital Employed and Divestments. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of the above forward-looking Non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile the above Non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is dependent on future events some which are outside the control of the company, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Royal Dutch Shell plc s financial statements. As the projects are expected to be multidecade producing the per barrel projection will not be reflected either in earnings or cash flow in the next five years. Reserves: Our use of the term reserves in this presentation means SEC proved oil and gas reserves. Resources: Our use of the term resources in this presentation includes quantities of oil and gas not yet classified as SEC proved oil and gas reserves. Resources are consistent with the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) 2P + 2C definitions. The forward-looking break-even price (BEP) presented is calculated based on all forward-looking costs associated from Final Investment Decision (FID). Accordingly, this typically excludes exploration and appraisal costs, lease bonuses, exploration seismic and exploration team overhead costs. The forward-looking BEP is calculated based on our estimate of resources volumes that are currently classified as 2p and 2c under the Society of Petroleum Engineers Resource Classification System. The financial measures provided by strategic themes represent a notional allocation of ROACE, capital employed, capital investment, free cash flow, organic free cash flow and underlying operating expenses of Shell s strategic themes. Shell s segment reporting under IFRS 8 remains Integrated Gas, Upstream, Downstream and Corporate. All outlook on financial metrics and/or alternative performance measures excludes the effect of IFRS 16 implementation. Also, in this presentation we may refer to Shell s net carbon footprint, which includes Shell s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell only controls its own emissions but, to support society in achieving the Paris Agreement goals, we aim to help and influence such suppliers and consumers to likewise lower their emissions. The use of the terminology Shell s net carbon footprint is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell or its subsidiaries. The companies in which Royal Dutch Shell plc directly and indirectly owns investments are separate legal entities. In this presentation Shell, Shell group and Royal Dutch Shell are sometimes used for convenience where references are made to Royal Dutch Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general. Likewise, the words we, us and our are also used to refer to Royal Dutch Shell plc and its subsidiaries in general or to those who work for them. These terms are also used where no useful purpose is served by identifying the particular entity or entities. Subsidiaries, Shell subsidiaries and Shell companies as used in this presentation refer to entities over which Royal Dutch Shell plc either directly or indirectly has control. Entities and unincorporated arrangements over which Shell has joint control are generally referred to as joint ventures and joint operations, respectively. Entities over which Shell has significant influence but neither control nor joint control are referred to as associates. The term Shell interest is used for convenience to indicate the direct and/or indirect ownership interest held by Shell in an entity or unincorporated joint arrangement, after exclusion of all thirdparty interest.

Outlook Q1 2019 Outlook Q1 2018 Q1 2019 OUTLOOK: Year-ago baseline reflects Shell s earnings seasonality Integrated gas Production volumes: 140-170 thousand boe/d lower, mainly due to divestments, the transfer of some activities into the Upstream segment as of 2019 and higher maintenance activities LNG liquefaction volumes: 0.4-0.7 million tonnes lower, mainly as a result of divestments and higher maintenance activities Upstream Production volumes: 10-50 thousand boe/d lower, mainly due to divestments and field decline, partly offset by ramp-ups of existing fields. This includes the impact of additional activities reported in the Integrated Gas segment in 2018 Downstream Refinery availability to decrease, as a result of higher maintenance activity Chemicals availability expected to be at a similar level Oil products sales volumes: 40-70 thousand boe/d lower, mainly as a result of the divestment of the Downstream business in Argentina 2019 OUTLOOK: Corporate segment: net charge of $400-450 million in Q1, and $1.7-1.9 billion for the full year 2019, excluding the impact of currency exchange rate effects and the impact of IFRS 16 Leases IFRS 16: updates will be communicated during a webcast on March 28, 2019. The quantitative impact at transition date (January 1, 2019) will be disclosed in the 2018 Annual Report and Form 20-F As of 2019, Salym (Russia) is reported within the Upstream segment. 2018 production: 62 kboe/d Shell share (97% liquids); 2018 net income: $0.1 billion. 30
Outlook Impact of IFRS16 Leases Gearing ~4%-5% increase Operating lease liabilities on balance sheet Increase in net debt and gearing Free cash flow ~$4 billion increase Lease payments will be reported under CFFF, instead of under CFFO and CFFI as previously Capital investment ~$1-2 billion increase Capital investment will include all leases, instead of only finance leases Operating expenses ~$2-3 billion decrease Costs of operating leases will be reported as depreciation and interest expense Segment earnings ~$1 billion impact Lease interest expenses will be treated as financing expenses and will be reported in Corporate, with corresponding offsets in business segments Key metrics change, no business and value impact Unaudited and provisional. All figures quoted on a full-year basis. For 2019, we will provide estimates for key indicators on a pre-ifrs16 basis for comparability with actuals. 31
