Royal Dutch Shell plc

Shell corrects fourth quarter and full year 2014 (FIFO) results, CCS earnings
unchanged.

The Hague, 30 January 2015. Royal Dutch Shell plc announced its unaudited
results for the fourth quarter and full year 2014 on 29 January 2015. Subsequent
to making that announcement, a stock valuation error in its Downstream
operations was discovered. The value of inventories in the condensed
consolidated balance sheet, reported as $19,981 million, should be corrected to
$19,701 million.
The fourth quarter and full year 2014 results of Royal Dutch Shell plc have been
revised to take account of this stock valuation error. The impact is shown
below.
Royal Dutch Shell’s fourth quarter and full year 2014 earnings, on a current
cost of supplies (CCS) basis are unchanged. These earnings were $4.2 billion and
$19.0 billion respectively.
Fourth quarter and full year 2014 CCS earnings excluding identified items are
unchanged. These earnings were $3.3 billion and $22.6 billion respectively.
The CCS adjustment for Downstream increased from $3,390 million to $3,568
million in the fourth quarter 2014 and from $3,989 million to $4,167 million for
the full year 2014.
As a consequence, fourth quarter 2014 Income attributable to Royal Dutch Shell
plc shareholders reduced from $773 million to $595 million. Full year 2014
Income attributable to Royal Dutch Shell plc shareholders reduced from $15,052
million to $14,874 million.
The impact on end 2014 return on average capital employed on a reported income
basis (7.1%) and gearing (12.2%) is immaterial.
Fourth quarter and full year 2014 Basic CCS earnings per share and per ADS are
unchanged.
Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share both reduced from $0.12
per share to $0.09 per share in the fourth quarter 2014 and from $2.38 per share
to $2.36 per share for the full year 2014.
