Woodside Energy Group hosted its half-year 2025 results teleconference and presentation today, with CEO and Managing Director Meg O’Neill and Chief Financial Officer Graham Tiver leading investors and analysts through a detailed briefing of the company’s performance and future outlook.
The event, streamed live to global stakeholders, showcased robust operational and financial results for the period ended 30 June 2025.
The teleconference featured a briefing pack with supporting documents accessible via Woodside’s website, alongside live Q&A and participation options for investors.
Key highlights from the half-year results include a fully franked interim dividend of 53 US cents per share, reflecting an 80 per cent payout ratio and an annualised yield of 6.9 per cent.
Woodside delivered a strong production performance, achieving 548 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (99.2 million barrels total), while reducing unit production costs to US$7.7/boe.
Operating revenue rose 10 per cent year-on-year to US$6,590 million, with net profit after tax reaching US$1,316 million.
Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill emphasised the company’s continued commitment to strong shareholder returns and disciplined capital management, stating: “Strong underlying performance of our assets, our robust financial performance, and a focus on disciplined capital management have enabled us to maintain our interim dividend payout ratio at the top end of the payout range.”
O’Neill also highlighted the outstanding operational achievements, particularly at the Sangomar Project in Senegal, which marked one year since first oil in June 2024 and generated nearly US$1 billion in revenue during the first half of 2025.
“A highlight was the ongoing exceptional performance of our Senegal Project,” said O’Niell.
“Sangomar has showcased Woodside’s world-class project execution and operational capabilities.
“Our excellence in project delivery was further demonstrated in the first half.”
Major projects progressed steadily, with Scarborough Energy in Western Australia now 86 per cent complete and targeting first LNG cargo in late 2026, while offshore Mexico’s Trion Project is 35 per cent complete and expected to deliver first oil by 2028.
The final investment decision on the Louisiana LNG Project positions Woodside as a global LNG powerhouse, supported by successful partnerships and the sell-down of a 40 per cent interest in core infrastructure to Stonepeak.
“We continue to receive strong interest from high-quality potential partners as we explore further sell-downs of Louisiana LNG,” O’Neill added.
“This highlights the distinct value Woodside offers.”
Safety and operational excellence remain central, with over one million work hours in Sangomar’s first operational year without recordable injuries and zero lost-time incidents during major Australian project turnarounds.
Woodside’s half-year 2025 results reaffirm its strategic focus, balance sheet strength, and path to future growth, cementing its position as a leader in the energy sector.
