Message from the Chairman

Dear shareholders,

In 2022 we were reminded once again that energy dependence remains one of the main weaknesses of the European economy. Our continent does not have enough energy of its own, so we have to import it from countries that often do not share our values or our environmental standards. A unified and stable energy model is therefore key to prevent unexpected events, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, from jeopardizing the well-being of our society.

This unjustified and wholly unacceptable action led to one of the biggest humanitarian crises in Europe since the Second World War, resulting in the displacement of millions of people, the destruction of civilian infrastructure and, sadly, the loss of thousands of lives. I would like to express my unwavering support for the people of Ukraine, in the hope that a solution to this conflict will be found and the rebuilding can soon begin, in which those affected can certainly count on the support of the European Union.

Aside from the humanitarian toll, the invasion of Ukraine has caused a profound energy crisis. The sanctions placed on Russia and its response by cutting the supply of gas into Europe called into question our continent's ability to find a reliable supply of hydrocarbons, quickly pushing up the prices of energy, metals and agricultural commodities. The consequences were soon felt, and throughout 2022 we witnessed a sharp rise in inflation and a slowdown in economic activity.

However, the war in Ukraine has not been the only factor jeopardizing the energy "trilemma" of security of supply, affordable prices and decarbonization. In Europe we have spent years focusing our energy policy on reducing emissions, with the design of a secure and competitively priced system taking a back seat. What this means, as indeed we saw last year, is that we rely excessively on Russian gas supplies and that today many households and businesses are finding it hard to pay their energy bills.

A smarter energy transition

The crisis we are now enduring also reveals certain failures in the energy transition process designed by the European authorities. For this reason, we believe that it is now high time to seriously rethink the EU's route to minimizing its greenhouse gas emissions, which still focuses on replacing the use of fossil fuels as soon as possible. In our expert view, we consider this decision to be overly hasty and unrealistic and fear that it may threaten the economy.

As an alternative, our sector would call for the development of a smarter energy transition that minimizes emissions as soon as possible, but always at a cost that society can afford and without making our industry less competitive in the process. To succeed in this task, it is important for European

"Our industry calls for the development of a smarter energy transition; one that minimizes emissions as soon as possible, but always at a cost that society can afford and without making our industry less competitive in the process."

and Spanish regulations to respect the principle of technological neutrality, which means fostering the development of all solutions that can contribute to decarbonization, without prohibiting any technology a priori. Notably, this is a path that certain major players, including the United States, are already following.

The key is to diversify our options, without focusing on a single technology. And that is precisely what we are doing at Repsol, where we have long been committed to a multi- energy strategy to reduce our emissions and guarantee the security of energy supply for the benefit of society. More precisely, our strategy is to combine the deployment of new alternatives, such as hydrogen and renewable liquid fuels, with a gradual but planned reduction in the use of hydrocarbons, which, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), will still be needed in the coming decades within key sectors of the economy, such as heavy industry, transportation, petrochemicals and healthcare, as well as for the production of a multitude of everyday items.

Given these forecasts, we believe that walking away from hydrocarbon production is not the way to go at this time. Oil and gas will still be part of our energy mix in 2050, to a greater or lesser extent, so it is best to concentrate our efforts on using them as efficiently as possible. With this in mind, our industry has been investing heavily for years to reduce both energy consumption and emissions across all of its processes and products, while also developing innovative technologies such as those used to capture, use and store CO2 from the atmosphere or from an industrial facility.

All these developments demonstrate that European industry can, and indeed must, play a strategic role in decarbonization, thanks to our high capacity to innovate and develop new technologies. To unlock our full potential, we need regulation to be more supportive and protective of industry, with flexible and inclusive policies that drive innovation and avoid prohibitions that only hinder the competitiveness of a sector that, in the coming years, faces the daunting challenge of undertaking the biggest transformation in its history as we adapt to the demands of the energy transition.

Moreover, this transformation process is a hugely important opportunity to regain the leading role lost by the European industrial sector, which in the last decade, to give just one example, has had to endure the closure of 20 or so refineries due to an increasingly restrictive regulatory landscape in the field of hydrocarbons. It is time, therefore, to reindustrialize the continent, to continue to create jobs, to transform existing facilities to make them more energy efficient and to be able to manufacture the circular materials and low carbon footprint products that our economy now needs.

Spanish industry, a key player in the energy transition

To seize the opportunities offered by the energy transition, our industry's strategy is to transform -not replace- existing industrial facilities, adapting them to use new forms of energy as we build and develop the circular economy. At Repsol, we have been firmly committed to this industrial transformation for years, through which we aim to convert our complexes into multi-energy hubs, capable also of treating different types of waste and producing, among other products, renewable liquid fuels, which are essential for reducing the carbon footprint across all transport sectors.

"Our strategy is to combine the deployment of new alternatives, such as hydrogen and renewable liquid fuels, with a gradual but planned reduction in the use of hydrocarbons."

The industrial transformation we are now undergoing shows that it is possible to strike the right balance between economic development and energy transition. As confirmed by our commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, at Repsol we are aware that we must move quickly to address climate change, but also that we must do so without bringing the economy to a halt or destroying our industrial fabric in the process. To achieve this, we strongly advocate close collaboration between companies and authorities, in the conviction that our response must be coordinated, with regulatory decisions based on technological progress and not on ideology, and with simpler and clearer rules for all players in the sector.

The decarbonization of the economy is one of the greatest challenges of our time and we must face it together. Rest assured that Repsol has pledged to continue leading this process.

Thank you for your support and trust.
