• Second quarter 2006 cashflow from operating activities was $7.8 billion compared to $6.3 billion a year ago. Excluding working capital movements and taxation effects, cashflow from operating activities was $11.9 billion compared to $8.7 billion a year ago.
• Royal Dutch Shell’s second quarter dividend has been announced at €0.25 per share, an increase of 9% from year-ago levels.

Chief Executive Jeroen van der Veer commented: “These results are underpinned
by overall good operational performance and not simply high energy prices”.
“We are delivering our strategy, with ambitious growth plans upstream, and
selective investment downstream. We plan to open up some 20 billion barrels of oil equivalent resources by the end of this decade. We are making steady progress on our projects, and building our portfolio for the future”.
