Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

1) Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and IFRS as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The interim consolidated financial statements of TotalEnergies SE and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2023, are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

The accounting principles applied for the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2023, are consistent with those used for the financial statements at December 31, 2022.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS for the closing as of June 30, 2023 requires the General Management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the information reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto.

These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on historical experience and other factors believed to be reasonable at the date of preparation of the financial statements. They are reviewed on an on-going basis by General Management and therefore could be revised as circumstances change or as a result of new information.

The main estimates, judgments and assumptions relate to the estimation of hydrocarbon reserves in application of the successful efforts method for the oil and gas activities, asset impairments, employee benefits, asset retirement obligations and income taxes. These estimates and assumptions are described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2022.

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 were impacted by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The Russian assets were fully depreciated, except for those relating to Yamal LNG. As of June 30, 2023, in the absence of any new event, assessments and judgments taken into account in the valuation of assets remain in place.

Different estimates, assumptions and judgments could significantly affect the information reported, and actual results may differ from the amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto.

Furthermore, when the accounting treatment of a specific transaction is not addressed by any accounting standard or interpretation, the General Management of the Company applies its judgment to define and apply accounting policies that provide information consistent with the general IFRS concepts: faithful representation, relevance and materiality.
