3 Capital expenditures for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 excluding acquisition-related costs of $22.7 million were $442.3 million.

Highlights for the first quarter include:

•Produced 174,200 BOEPD, exceeding the high end of quarterly guidance due to outperformance in the Eagle Ford Shale and strong uptime in the Gulf of America

•Spud Bubale-1X, the third exploration well in Côte d’Ivoire

•Progressed the Hai Su Vang-3X appraisal well in Vietnam, with results from the full appraisal program anticipated in the third quarter of 2026

•Spud the Chinook #8 well in the Gulf of America, a key development well expected to come online in the second half of this year with a gross initial production rate of 15 MBOEPD

•Brought online 15 wells in the Eagle Ford Shale, with the wells driving a 17 percent improvement in 60-day cumulative oil production compared to wells drilled in 2025

Subsequent to the first quarter:

•Approved development of the Banjo and Cello fields, targeting first production in the fourth quarter of 2027

•In late March, Murphy submitted an offer for four exploration blocks in offshore Cameroon which was accepted subsequent to quarter end; final terms are pending further discussions with the Republic of Cameroon

“During these uncertain times, our strategy is to stay anchored to what we control—disciplined capital allocation, safe and reliable operations, and our long‑cycle projects. In the first quarter, this focus translated into strong execution across our portfolio with meaningful progress at Lac Da Vang in Vietnam, advancement of the high-impact Chinook #8 well in the Gulf of America, and sustained outperformance from our US and Canada onshore programs,” stated Eric M. Hambly, President and Chief Executive Officer.

SHAREHOLDER RETURNS

During the first quarter of 2026, we paid $50 million in quarterly dividends.

While the Company elected not to repurchase shares this quarter, it retained significant flexibility, with $550 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization and 143.3 million shares outstanding as of March 31, 2026.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Murphy had approximately $2.38 billion of liquidity on March 31, 2026, comprised of the undrawn $2.00 billion senior unsecured credit facility and approximately $380 million of cash and cash equivalents, inclusive of NCI. During the quarter, Murphy paid down $100 million of debt under the senior unsecured credit facility.

As of March 31, 2026, Murphy’s total debt of $1.55 billion was comprised of long-term, fixed-rate notes, with no drawings under the senior unsecured credit facility. The fixed-rate notes had a weighted average maturity of 8.9 years and a weighted average coupon of 6.2 percent.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This news release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating Murphy Oil Corporation’s overall financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are broadly used to value and compare companies in the crude oil and natural gas industry. Not all companies define these measures in the same way. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should therefore be considered only as supplemental to such GAAP financial measures. Please see the attached schedules for reconciliations of the

differences between the non-GAAP financial measures used in this news release and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

† In accordance with GAAP, Murphy reports the 100 percent interest, including a 20 percent noncontrolling interest (NCI), in its subsidiary, MP Gulf of Mexico, LLC (MP GOM). The GAAP financials include the NCI portion of revenue, costs, assets and liabilities and cash flows. Unless otherwise noted, the financial and operating highlights and metrics discussed in this news release, but not the accompanying schedules, exclude the NCI, thereby representing only the amounts attributable to Murphy.

Presented above is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Murphy. Adjusted net income excludes certain items that management believes affect the comparability of results between periods. Management believes this is important information to provide because it is used by management to evaluate the Company’s operational performance and trends between periods and relative to its industry competitors. Management also believes this information may be useful to investors and analysts to gain a better understanding of the Company’s financial results. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a substitute for net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP.

The pretax and income tax impacts for adjustments in the above table are shown below by area of operation and geographical location and corporate, as applicable, and exclude the share attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Quarterly Stockholder Update by Murphy Oil Corporation

This letter serves as a supplement to our earnings release for the first quarter of 2026. Please see the information regarding forward-looking statements and non-GAAP financial information1 included at the end of this letter. Unless otherwise noted, the financial and operating highlights and metrics discussed in this letter exclude noncontrolling interest (NCI)2.

HOUSTON, Texas, May 6, 2026

Murphy Oil Corporation Stockholders,

The first quarter of 2026 unfolded against one of the most volatile macroeconomic backdrops the energy sector has experienced in years. During the quarter, global energy markets were shaped by heightened geopolitical risks which drove a sharp increase in oil prices. While these events highlighted the importance of secure and dependable supply, they also reinforced the cyclical nature of our industry and the importance of a resilient and flexible business model.

During these uncertain times, our strategy is to stay anchored to what we control—disciplined capital allocation, safe and reliable operations, and our long‑cycle projects. In the first quarter, this focus translated into strong execution across our portfolio with meaningful progress at Lac Da Vang in Vietnam, advancement of the high-impact Chinook #8 well in the Gulf of America, and sustained outperformance from our US and Canada onshore programs. We also took steps to preserve our balance sheet strength, enhance liquidity, and improve our debt maturity profile.

In the quarter, our unhedged position enabled the Company to fully capture the upside from higher oil prices. Given the potential for prices to move meaningfully in either direction, we elected not to implement any oil hedges during the quarter. Our

strong financial standing allows us to sustain this approach while preserving the flexibility to adapt to market changes and maximize shareholder value.

With respect to our capital expenditure (CAPEX) plan, we are avoiding incremental spending tied to short-term price moves and are keeping our 2026 CAPEX guidance unchanged. As we maintain capital discipline, we are preserving investment optionality and continue to assess three focus areas that will inform our future capital guidance: (1) the macro environment and the durability of commodity prices, (2) results from our exploration and appraisal program in Côte d’Ivoire and Vietnam, and (3) activity plans from our non-operated partners.

Maximizing shareholder returns continues to be at the core of our capital allocation decisions as we evaluate options to balance portfolio investments, share buybacks, and net debt reduction.

FIRST QUARTER 2026 SUMMARY

Murphy exceeded the high end of our production guidance range during the first quarter, producing 174,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD). Realized pricing increased significantly to $72.28 per barrel of oil, a 22 percent quarter-over-quarter increase driven by geopolitical events. On the other hand, a mild winter led to weaker natural gas prices, with Murphy realizing $2.87 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) in the first quarter. Notably, despite persistent weakness in AECO prices, our diversification strategy in Canada enabled us to realize USD $2.44 per MCF in the first quarter compared to USD $1.46 per MCF AECO average.

Net income in the quarter was $53.0 million, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)1 was $382.9 million, and operating cash flow excluding working capital adjustments was $429.2 million.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE

During the first quarter, we executed as planned. In the Eagle Ford Shale, we brought online 15 wells including 12 in Karnes and 3 in Catarina. These wells extended our track record of strong execution, delivering 17% cumulative oil outperformance versus the 2025 type curve over the first 60 days. I want to highlight our Catarina wells, where we drilled some of the longest wells in Dimmit County this quarter while achieving an 11 percent lower cost per completed lateral foot and 27 percent higher 60-day cumulative oil production compared to 2025. This is especially noteworthy as

the remainder of our planned Eagle Ford Shale program this year is concentrated in Catarina.

In onshore Canada, we brought online four Kaybob Duvernay wells subsequent to quarter end and progressed eight Tupper Montney wells scheduled to come online in the third quarter. Our 2025 Tupper Montney wells continue to be among the best performers in the history of the asset. Overall, the robust performance of our new onshore wells in both the Eagle Ford Shale and Canada further supports our development strategy, and I am proud of the team for their effective execution.

Offshore, we spud our high-impact Chinook #8 development well in the Gulf of America. We are on track to bring the well online in the second half of the year and are excited about the economics of this well supported by our purchase of the Pioneer FPSO (Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading vessel) last year.

At our Lac Da Vang (Golden Camel) development project in Vietnam, development drilling is progressing in line with plan and the FSO (Floating Storage and Offloading vessel) is ready to launch. The project continues to track on schedule, with first production slated for the fourth quarter of this year. Lac Da Vang is a cornerstone of our Vietnam portfolio, and its steady progress reinforces our execution capabilities and the long‑term growth potential in the region.

PRODUCTION

As previously noted, Murphy delivered strong operational execution in the first quarter with production averaging 174,200 BOEPD, exceeding the high end of our quarterly guidance of 172,000 BOEPD. Average oil production of 87,200 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) also exceeded guidance of 83,500 BOPD. The outperformance this quarter was driven by better performance across our onshore assets, higher uptime at our offshore facilities, and lower planned downtime due to efficient maintenance operations.

We expect production to dip slightly in the second quarter driven primarily by onshore well timing. We accelerated our first quarter Eagle Ford Shale wells to earlier in the quarter, and our second quarter wells will come on late in the quarter, resulting in a quarter-over-quarter decline. We remain firmly on track to meet our full year production guidance.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

CAPEX during the first quarter was $465 million, below our guidance midpoint of $540 million, primarily reflecting phasing of certain exploration and appraisal costs to later in the year.

Our 2026 capital program was designed to maintain financial discipline while balancing near‑term execution with long‑cycle value creation. This program offers us the ability to adjust the pace of investment as the year progresses. As noted previously, we currently expect our full year CAPEX to be within the previously communicated range.

OPERATING COSTS

Operating expenses in the first quarter averaged $8.70 per BOE, lower than our typical range of $10 to $12 per BOE. Although higher production did contribute to a lower unit cost, this temporary reduction is primarily due to in-year cost phasing. Looking at the year as a whole, we expect our operating expenses to be in line with our previously communicated range.

EXPLORATION AND APPRAISAL UPDATE

As announced in January, we drilled a successful appraisal well at Hai Su Vang‑2X in Vietnam. We are currently finishing operations at the Hai Su Vang-3X appraisal well, and will next move to Hai Su Vang-4X, the final appraisal well in the program. We plan to share an updated resource range estimate at the conclusion of this appraisal campaign. Results from these wells will also inform our field development plan for Hai Su Vang, a key milestone towards formal sanctioning of the project.

In Côte d’Ivoire, we continue to drill the third well in our exploration program — Bubale-1X. We will share results upon completion of drilling operations.

In the Gulf of America, subsequent to quarter end, we have sanctioned the development of the recent Banjo and Cello field discoveries and are targeting first oil in the fourth quarter of 2027. These projects are expected to contribute 4 MBOEPD average net production in 2028, demonstrating Murphy’s ability to rapidly transition from discovery to development by leveraging existing infrastructure to accelerate value realization.

Additionally in the Gulf of America, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has now formally awarded us all fourteen blocks where we were named apparent high bidder during the December 2025 federal lease sale. These blocks provide a mix of lower‑risk, infrastructure‑led development opportunities and higher‑impact prospects, offering both near‑term upside and longer‑term growth.

At quarter end, Murphy submitted an offer for four exploration blocks in offshore Cameroon. The offer was subsequently accepted by the Republic of Cameroon, pending further discussions to finalize the Production Sharing Contracts.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, SHAREHOLDER RETURNS AND BALANCE SHEET

As previously communicated, our capital allocation plan allocates a minimum of 50 percent of adjusted free cash flow1 to share buybacks and dividend increases, with the remainder allocated to the balance sheet. During the first quarter, we distributed $50 million of dividends to shareholders. At the end of the quarter, we had $550 million remaining under our board-authorized share repurchase program. As the year progresses, we will continue to monitor the markets and will balance net debt reductions and share buybacks in line with our capital allocation plan.

At the end of the first quarter, we were favorably positioned with a strong balance sheet reflecting total debt and net debt (non-GAAP) of $1.55 billion and $1.17 billion, respectively. Net debt is comprised of total debt less cash and cash equivalents of approximately $380 million. We had no outstanding balances on our unsecured revolving credit facility and, as a result of the bond transaction completed in January, our nearest debt maturity is now in 2029.

CLOSING

As we move forward, we remain acutely aware of the evolving macroeconomic landscape and the dynamic nature of global energy markets. Given our flexible portfolio and resilient business model, we are confident in our ability to seize opportunities and navigate challenges, ensuring the long-term strength of our Company while maintaining our commitment to operational excellence and financial discipline.

Thank you for your continued trust as a valued Murphy Oil Corporation stockholder.
