Petrobras financial performance in 2Q22

Rio de Janeiro, July 28, 2022 - Once again we delivered solid quarterly results. According to our CFO, Rodrigo Araujo Alves, “Second quarter results show the resilience and strength of the Company, which is able to generate sustainable results, following its trajectory of value creation. In line with our commitment to distribute our results, we approved a shareholder remuneration of R$ 6.73 per common and preferred share. In addition, we collected a total of BRL 77 billion in taxes and government take in the second quarter, which amounted to around BRL 147 billion in the year, an increase of 92% compared to the first half of last year”.

Main achievements:

- Recurring EBITDA of US$ 20.2 billion (+34% vs 1Q22) and free cash flow of US$ 12.8 billion (+61% vs 1Q22), mainly reflecting the appreciation of Brent prices in the period, better results with oil products and natural gas sales and lower volumes of LNG imports.
- Recurring net income of US$ 9.1 billion (+9% vs 1Q22) due to the factors described above, partially offset by the negative financial result because of the depreciation of the BRL.
- Gross debt of US$ 53.6 billion (-9% vs 1Q22), mainly due to debt prepayments and amortizations.
- CAPEX of US$ 3.1 billion in 2Q22 (+74% vs 1Q22),, including US$ 892 million signature bonus related to the Sépia and Atapu fields.
- Beginning of the coparticipation agreement for the Sepia and Atapu fields, in which Petrobras will be the operator in partnership with other companies. Cash inflow from this agreement amounted to US$ 5,2 billion in 2Q22.
- Start-up of FPSO Guanabara in 04/30/22, the first definitive system in Mero field.
- Cash inflows from divestments of US$ 1.6 billion in 2Q22. We highlight the signing of the LUBNOR sale agreement on June 15th. On July 11, we concluded the sale of our 51% Gaspetro for R$ 2.1 billion.
- On June 27, we relaunched the sale processes of the Abreu e Lima Refinery (RNEST), Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery (REPAR) and Alberto Pasqualini Refinery (REFAP), in line with the company’s portfolio management and capital allocation strategy.
- In July, we signed the first credit line with sustainability commitments (Sustainability-Linked Loan) in the amount of US$ 1.25 billion, maturing in July 2027.

(*) Sales revenues from operations outside of Brazil, including trading and excluding exports.

In 2Q22, sales revenues grew 28% compared to 1Q22, mainly due to the 12% increase in Brent prices, higher oil and oil products sales volumes and higher oil products and natural gas prices, amid the recovery in global demand for oil and oil products after the critical period of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts in supply by the war in Ukraine. Revenues from oil products in the domestic market were 31% higher than in 1Q22, with higher revenues from all products except fuel oil, due to a drop in volume, mainly because there were no deliveries for thermoelectric generation in 2Q22. Oil revenues in the domestic market increased 52% due to higher sales to Acelen.

On the other hand, there was a drop in revenues from electricity, given the lower thermoelectric dispatch with the continued recovery in hydrological conditions in 2Q22.

In terms of the breakdown of revenues in the domestic market, diesel and gasoline continued to be the main products, together accounting for 73% of oil products domestic sales in 2Q22.

A relevant change in petroleum flows was observed in 1H22, stemming from the war in Ukraine. Russian exports, which previously supplied Europe, were diverted to Asian markets, mainly India and China. The constant search for global opportunities and the development of new customers that Petrobras has been implementing over the years were decisive for the company to also change the flow of its exports, taking advantage of new arbitrage and maximizing the generation of value in its sales.

In 2Q22, we had the following distribution of export destinations by volume:

In 2Q22, cost of goods sold grew 19% compared to 1Q22, mainly reflecting higher prices for imported oil and oil products. In addition, the appreciation of Brent prices contributed to the increase in government take.

It is worth noting the decrease of LNG in the breakdown of natural gas purchases, given the reduction of 3 MMm³/day in regasification volumes, which reached 7 MM m3/day in 2Q22, essentially due to the lower demand for gas for thermoelectric plants as a consequence of improved hydrological conditions. The reduction in LNG imports would have been even greater had it not been for the reduction in Bolivian gas imports by 5 MMm³/day in 2Q22.

In 2Q22, selling expenses were 6% higher than in 1Q22. Despite the lower volumes of oil exports, this effect was offset by an increase in the volume of oil sold in the domestic market and higher oil products exports.

In 2Q22, other operating income and expenses were positive by US$ 2.2 billion against expenses of US$ 0.3 billion in 1Q22. This variation is mainly explained by the effect of the capital gain of US$ 2.9 billion in 2Q22 related to the co-participation agreements in the Sepia and Atapu fields.

In 2Q22, there was an impairment of US$ 0.2 billion mainly due to the permanent shutdown of the P-35 platform in the Marlim field and losses related to divestments of the Golfinho and LUBNOR clusters.

Adjusted EBITDA

In 2Q22, Adjusted EBITDA rose 33% to US$19.9 billion, mostly due to the appreciation of Brent in the period, higher margins on all products and natural gas, and lower volumes of LNG imports.

The financial result was negative by US$ 3.2 billion in 2Q22, against a positive result of US$ 0.6 billion in 1Q22, mainly reflecting the depreciation of the BRL against the USD of 10.6% in 2Q22, compared to an appreciation of 15.1% in 1Q22. In addition to this effect, there were higher realizations of transaction costs on the securities repurchased and higher goodwill due to the tender offer of US$ 2.0 billion in April/2022. These costs were partially offset by gains on financial investments due to higher average cash balances and interest rates, as well as discounts on market operations over 2Q22.

We ended 2Q22 with a currency exposure of US$ 19.1 billion compared to US$ 15.6 billion in 1Q22. It is worth noting that in 2Q21 the currency exposure was US$ 33.6 billion, which caused greater volatility in the financial result.

Net profit (loss) attributable to Petrobras shareholders

Net income in 2Q22 was US$ 11.0 billion, compared to US$ 8.6 billion in 1Q22. This increase is explained mainly by the increase in Brent prices in the period, as well as higher margins on oil products and natural gas. Additionally, the result was positively impacted by the capital gain of US$ 2.9 billion related to the co-participation agreement in Sepia and Atapu. On the other hand, these factors were partially offset by the decrease in financial result (- US$ 3.8 billion) reflecting the depreciation of the BRL against the USD. With the higher pre-tax income, there was a higher income tax and social contribution expense of US$ 0.7 billion.

Capex

Investment (Capex) encompasses acquisition of property, plant and equipment, including costs with leasing, intangible assets, investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, costs with geology and geophysics and pre-operating costs.

Total | 3,073 | 1,768 | 2,364 | 4,841 | 4,278 | 73.8 | 30.0 | 13.2

In 2Q22, capex totaled US$ 3.1 billion, 74% above 1Q22, mainly due to the impact of the signature bonus related to the Sépia and Atapu fields. Investments in growth correspond to 64% of total capex in 2Q22.

Growth capex are those with the primary objective of increasing the capacity of existing assets, deploying new production, offloading, and storage assets, increasing asset efficiency or profitability, and deploying essential infrastructure to enable other growth projects. It includes acquisitions of assets/companies and remaining investments in systems that started up as of 2020 and exploratory investments.

Sustaining capex, on the other hand, has the main objective of maintaining the operation of existing assets. It does not aim at increasing the capacity of the facilities. It includes investments in safety and reliability of facilities, replacement well projects, complementary development, remaining investments in systems that started up before 2020, scheduled stoppages and revitalizations (without new systems), 4D seismic, health, environment, and safety (HSE) projects, subsea line exchanges, operational infrastructure and information technology (IT).

In 2Q22, capex in the Exploration & Production segment totaled US$ 1.7 billion, 22% higher than in 1Q22, due to higher expenses with large projects, especially the construction and integration of new production units, in addition to higher volume of scheduled stoppages and exploratory activity. Investments were mainly concentrated on: (i) the development of ultra-deepwater production in the Santos Basin pre-salt (US$ 0.6 billion); (ii) development of new deepwater projects (US$ 0.2 billion); and (iii) exploratory investments in the pre-salt and post-salt (US$ 0.1 billion).

In the Refining, Transportation and Marketing segment, capex totaled US$ 0.3 billion in 2Q22, of which approximately 17% was related to growth. In Gas & Power, capex totaled US$ 0.1 billion in 2Q22, with approximately 24% related to growth.

1 Total CAPEX with the Strategic Plan 2022-26 assumptions and Petrobras work interest (WI). Chartered units leases are not included. 2 In March 2022, Petrobras has signed the contract with the partner CNOOC Petroleum Brasil Ltda. (CPBL) for the assignment of 5% of its interest in the Production Sharing Contract of the Transfer of Rights Surplus for the Buzios field. Petrobras stake will be ajusted after the transaction's approval by the regulatory agencies. 3 Petrobras stake updated after the approval of the Production Individualization Agreement (AIP) of the Mero accumulation. As the compensation relative to the non-contracted area expenses will be paid in oil to the consortium, the work interest (WI) of the CAPEX reported will not change. 4 Production Unit for revitalization project. Refers only to new wells. The scope of the project also includes the relocation of some wells of the units being decommissioned.

In addition to the systems listed in the table above, the FPSOs for Búzios 9 and 10and the SEAP 1 project are expected to start operating within the horizon of the 2022-26 Strategic Plan. The bidding for P-80 and P-82 (Búzios 9 and 10) production units is in progress after receiving two commercial proposals. The bidding committee released the result of Package A on 07/13/2022, selecting the proposal from Keppel Shipyard. Package B is under negotiation with Sembcorp Marine Rig and Floaters. In both cases, the option of Petrobras requesting the supply of an additional unit is considered. In relation to the FPSO for SEAP 1, the previous procurement process was canceled as the proposal received was overpriced and carried conditions not foreseen in the bidding process. We are currently re-evaluating the project and the procurement strategy.

In 2Q22, E&P gross profit was US$ 13.8 billion, an increase of 15% when compared to 1Q22, mainly due to higher Brent prices. Operating income was 36% higher than 1Q22, reflecting the growth in gross profit and the gains from the co-participation agreements in Sepia and Atapu fields.

We recorded a 15% increase in the lifting cost without leasing and government take when compared to 1Q22. In 1Q22 there were several restrictions to activities due to the ÔMICRON variant of COVID-19. In 2Q22, the resumption of activities after the critical period aforementioned and also the effect of the 6% BRL appreciation against the average USD were the main factors impacting the lifting cost.

In the pre-salt, there was a slight increase of 2% in lifting costs, driven by the appreciation of the BRL against the USD and the lower production, partially offset by lower expenses associated with well interventions in Búzios field.

17

In the post-salt, there was a 36% increase in the same indicator when compared to 1Q22, due to higher costs with project continuity and integrity, such as well interventions and subsea inspections, alongside the appreciation of the BRL against the USD and also the lower production in the quarter.

In onshore and shallow water assets, there was an increase in lifting costs mainly due to the BRL appreciation. The lower production, due to divestments, unscheduled shutdowns and natural decline of the fields, was offset by the reduction in production costs.

The increase in government take per barrel in 2Q22 is mainly caused by the higher Brent prices in the period.

(*) EBITDA margin and ROCE variations in percentage points

In 2Q22, gross profit for the Refining, Transportation and Marketing (RTM) segment was US$ 5.2 billion, US$ 2 billion higher than in 1Q22. Excluding the effect of inventory turnover ($1.5 billion in 2Q22 and $2 billion in 1Q22) the gross profit would have been $3.6 billion in 2Q22 and $1.1 billion in 1Q22.

The higher gross profit was due to higher margins on oil products in the domestic market, mainly diesel, gasoline and jet fuel, because of higher international margins on these products. Sales volume was also higher, especially diesel volumes, due to its typical seasonality.

In 2Q22, operating income was higher than in 1Q22 due to the higher gross profit, which was partially offset by higher expenses with lawsuits and the Lubnor refinery impairment.

In 2Q22, refining costs per barrel in USD were slightly higher than in 1Q22 due to higher maintenance expenses, higher feedstock prices in BRL and the appreciation of the BRL against the USD. The higher absolute dollar costs were partially offset by the higher throughput in 2Q22.

In 2Q22, gross profit was US$ 1.4 billion, representing an increase of US$ 887 million when compared to 1Q22, mainly reflecting the recovery in natural gas commercialization margins, due to: (a) the improvement in the natural gas sales and purchases portfolio, with a reduction in natural gas demand for thermoelectric generation and a lower need for regasified LNG; (b) the contractual quarterly update in May of the non-thermoelectric sales prices.

In 2Q22, we reversed the operating loss of 1Q22, reaching an operating income of US$ 552 million, due to higher gross profit and lower expenses with lawsuits (- US$ 50 million).

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is an indicator calculated as the net income for the period plus taxes on profit, net financial result, depreciation and amortization. Petrobras announces EBITDA, as authorized by CVM Instruction 527 of October 2012.

In order to reflect the management view regarding the formation of the company's current business results, EBITDA is also presented adjusted (Adjusted EBITDA) as a result of: results in equity-accounted investments; impairment, reclassification of comprehensive income (loss) due to the disposal of equity-accounted investments, results with co-participation agreement in production fields and gains/losses on disposal/write-offs of assets.

Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting the sum of the last twelve months (Last Twelve Months), also represents an alternative to the company's operating cash generation. This measure is used to calculate the Gross Debt and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA metric, helping to evaluate the company's leverage and liquidity.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not provided for in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and should not serve as a basis for comparison with those disclosed by other companies and should not be considered as a substitute for any other measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. These measures should be considered in conjunction with other measures and indicators for a better understanding of the company's performance and financial condition.
