•

Biofuel (FAME and bioethanol) purchases in Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 7.6 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 2.3 billion, or 43.2%, from Ps 5.3 billion of Q2 2018;

•

Grain receipts in the agricultural sales segment through the form of barter, which were recorded as purchases, amounted to Ps 5.8 billion in Q2 2019, which represents an increase of Ps 3.0 billion, or 107.4%, from Ps 2.8 billion in Q2 2018;

•

Purchases of natural gas from other producers for resale in the retail distribution segment (residential and small businesses and industries) in Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 5.3 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 1.3 billion, or 31.1%, from Ps 4.0 billion in Q2 2018;

•

In Q2 2019, a positive stock variation of Ps 5.4 billion was recorded, compared to the negative stock variation registered in Q2 2018 of Ps 0.9 billion, mainly as a result of the increase in replacement cost of inventories affected by the higher extraction costs (lifting cost) mentioned above.

Selling expenses for Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 11.2 billion, an increase of 90.4% compared to Ps 5.9 billion in Q2 2018. Higher charges were recorded for transportation of products, mainly related to the higher rates paid for domestic transport of fuels, higher charges for taxes, fees and contributions mainly due to the increase in withholdings on exports and the tax on financial operations, higher charges for depreciation of fixed assets and higher personnel expenses, among others.

Administration expenses for Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 5.8 billion, an increase of 95.1% compared to Ps 3.0 billion in Q2 2018. The increase was mainly due to higher personnel expenses, higher costs in outsourcing services and computer licenses, many of which are denominated in U.S. dollars, higher charges related to institutional advertising and higher depreciation of fixed assets.


		Consolidated Results Q2 2019

Exploration expenses for Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 1.1 billion, an increase of 127.6% compared to Ps 0.5 billion for Q2 2018.

Other operating results, net, for Q2 2019 represented a loss of Ps 0.9 billion, compared to a loss of Ps 17 million for Q2 2018. The variation corresponds mainly to higher charges in the provision for judicial contingencies and that in Q2 2018, a gain of Ps 0.3 billion was recorded as a result of the total assignment of the participation in the Cerro Bandera area.

Net financial results for Q2 2019 represented a loss of Ps 14.4 billion, compared to the gain of Ps 22.8 billion in Q2 2018. As such, a lower positive foreign exchange was registered over net liabilities in Argentine pesos of Ps 32.4 billion, due to the appreciation of the Argentine peso observed during Q2 2019 and compared to Q2 2018, when there was a depreciation of the Argentine peso. Additionally, higher negative interests of Ps 4.3 billion were recorded, as a result of higher average indebtedness, measured in Argentine pesos, and higher interest rates during Q2 2019 compared to Q2 2018. Finally, there were higher positive charges for other financial results of Ps 0.7 billion and higher interest income of Ps 0.9 billion.

Income tax expense during Q2 2019 amounted to a gain of Ps 3.0 billion, compared to a loss of Ps 21.9 billion for Q2 2018, all this considering the projected effective rate.

Net income for Q2 2019 was a loss of Ps 2.3 billion, compared to the gain of Ps 1.5 billion in Q2 2018.

Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment in Q2 2019 were Ps 40.1 billion, a 107.3% increase compared to the capital expenditures made during Q2 2018.

In Q2 2019, the Upstream business segment recorded an operating gain of Ps 4.2 billion, compared to a gain of Ps 2.9 billion in Q2 2018.

Revenues were Ps 74.1 billion for Q2 2019, an increase of 59.9% compared to Q2 2018, primarily due to the following factors:

•

Crude oil revenues amounted to Ps 53.7 billion, an increase of 77.8% or Ps 23.5 billion compared to Ps 30.2 billion in Q2 2018 as the intersegment price of oil increased by approximately 71.7% measured in pesos. The average realization price for crude oil in Q2 2019 decreased by 8.1% to US$ 58.7/bbl. Crude oil volume transferred between segments decreased 0.7%;

•

Natural gas revenues reached Ps 22.1 billion, 35.2% or Ps 5.7 billion higher than the Ps 16.4 billion in Q2 2018 as a result of a 56.8% increase in the average price of natural gas in Argentine pesos impacted by the devaluation of the Argentine peso between both periods. The average realization price for the quarter in dollars was U$S 4.06/Mmbtu, 13.6% lower than in Q2 2018. Moreover, volume sold between segments decreased by 10.0% compared to Q2 2018 mainly due to the excess supply of gas against domestic demand, which had an impact on the production of natural gas.


		Consolidated Results Q2 2019

Total hydrocarbon production for Q2 2019 was 515.7 Kboed, a 5.3% decrease compared to Q2 2018. Crude oil production declined only 1.0%, resulting in 224.0 Kbbld. Additionally, as of December 31, 2018, the process of assigning marginal areas ended whose production during the second quarter of 2018 was 2.1 Kbbld. The natural gas market in Argentina during the second quarter of 2019 was affected, although to a lesser extent compared to the first quarter, by an excess of supply compared to domestic demand, which had an impact on the production of natural gas following the temporary closure of production in some locations in April and to a lesser extent in May, as well as from the reinjection of the hydrocarbon. Among others, the average temperatures observed during the second quarter 2019 and the lower demand in the high consumption sectors, determined a lower consumption of natural gas by the power generations and industries sector, which negatively affected the demand and consequently, the supply of natural gas. In this order, natural gas production decreased by 8.8% compared to Q2 2018, totaling 40.1 Mm3d. The production of natural gas liquids (NGL) dropped by 5.3%, totaling 39.4 Kbbld, driven mainly by losses due to the power outages in June 2019 together with the fire at the DOW Ethylene plant that limited the use of the installed capacity in MEGA for the production of Ethane that could not be delivered for refining.

Regarding the development activity, in Q2 2019, 111 new wells have been put into production, including the non-conventional and tight wells described below, of which 22 are not operated.

During Q2 2019, in the shale areas, YPF´s net hydrocarbon production reached 82.4 Kboed, which represents an increase of 47.9% compared to Q2 2018. This production is comprised of 32.1 Kbbld of crude oil, 9.0 Kbbld of NGL and 6.6 Mm3d of natural gas. Regarding the operated development activity, 39 wells have been put into production targeting the Vaca Muerta formation, reaching a total of approximately 780 active wells of which 58 are not operated, with a total of 19 active drilling rigs and 10 workovers at the end of Q2 2019.

With respect to tight development, net production in Q2 2019 reached a total of 10.8 Mm3d of natural gas, plus 4.9 Kbbld of NGL and 4.8 Kbbld of crude oil, of which 86.2% comes from YPF operated areas. Regarding the operated activity conducted during the period, 8 new wells were put into production in Estación Fernández Oro.

Operating costs (excluding exploration expenses) for Q2 2019 totaled Ps 68.5 billion, a 58.2% increase compared to Q2 2018, of which we highlight the following:

•

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounted to Ps 27.9 billion in Q2 2019 compared to Ps 19.7 billion in Q2 2018, representing an increase of approximately Ps 8.2 billion, or 41.7%, primarily due to an increase in the value of assets based on their valuation in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company. This was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation due to the incorporation of reserves during the year 2018;


		Consolidated Results Q2 2019

•

Lifting costs for Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 25.1 billion, an increase of Ps 12.1 billion or 93.2% compared to Ps 13.0 billion in Q2 2018. In turn, the increase in the unit indicator, measured in Argentine pesos, was 100.6%, in line with the general increase in prices of the economy and also increased by the higher workover activity intended to improve the production performance of certain mature fields, weighted by the decrease in production mentioned above;

•

Royalties and other production related costs in Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 10.4 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 3.1 billion, or 42.9%, compared to Ps 7.3 billion in Q2 2018. Of this increase, Ps 2.4 billion was related to an increase in royalties in connection with crude oil production, and Ps 0.7 billion was related to an increase in royalties for natural gas production, in both cases due to higher wellhead values of these products measured in Argentine pesos, which were partially offset by the lower natural gas production during 2019;

•

Transportation costs related to production (trucks, pipelines and polyducts in deposit) for Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 2.1 billion, an increase of approximately Ps 1.2 billion, or 126.8%, compared to Ps 0.9 billion for Q2 2018 due to higher tariffs measured in Argentine pesos and higher activity in unconventional areas.

Exploration expenses for Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 1.1 billion, an increase of 129.7% compared to Ps 0.5 billion for Q2 2018, mainly due to the higher negative results from unproductive exploratory drilling during the quarter (in a differential amount of Ps 0.4 billion) and due to higher expenses relating to geophysical and geological studies in an amount of Ps 42 million. Exploratory investment during Q2 2019 was 49.9% higher than in Q2 2018, totaling Ps 2.0 billion.

Unit operating cash costs in U.S. dollars decreased 1.2% to US$ 20.3/boe in Q2 2019 from US$ 20.5/boe in Q2 2018, including taxes of US$ 5.8/boe and US$ 6.8/boe, respectively. In turn, the average lifting cost for YPF in Q2 2019 was US$ 12.3/boe, 10.4% higher than Q2 2018.

CAPEX

Capital expenditures for the Upstream business segment for Q2 2019 were Ps 31.9 billion, a 97.9% increase compared to Q2 2018. Of these capital expenditures, 67.8% were invested in drilling and workover activities, 23.6% in facilities and the remaining 8.6% in exploration and other activities in the Upstream business segment.


		Consolidated Results Q2 2019

Other sales in the domestic market for Q2 2019 totaled Ps 18.5 billion, representing an increase of Ps 6.5 billion or 54.6% compared to Q2 2018. We highlight the increase in sales of fertilizers by 179.6%, the increase in sales of jet fuel by 123.5%, higher sales of petrochemical products by 60.3%, the increase in sales of lubricants by 50.3% and LPG by 14.6%, in all these cases mainly due to the higher prices of these products measured in Argentine pesos. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in coal sales by 14.0%. On the other hand, export revenues in the Downstream segment during Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 20.6 billion, representing an increase of Ps 10.5 billion, or 103.8%, compared to such exports in Q2 2018. The export of crude oil increased by Ps 3.2 billion, or 940.8% when compared to the same period in 2018, driven by higher volumes sold. Jet fuel sales increased by Ps 3.2 billion, or 111.6% due to higher sales prices in Argentine pesos of 80.4% and a 17.3% increase in volumes sold. Exports of soy flour and oil increased by Ps 2.7 billion, or 105.3% driven by higher average prices and volumes exported. Fuel oil sales increased by Ps 0.7 billion, or 109.5% driven by higher average prices and volumes sold. In addition, the exports of lubricants increased by Ps 0.4 billion with an increase in the average sale price of 82.0%. Petrochemical products increased by Ps 0.3 billion, or 16.7% due to better prices obtained, partially offset by lower volumes sold.

Cost of sales and operating expenses for Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 112.8 billion representing an increase of Ps 48.3 billion, or 74.9%, compared to Q2 2018, with the following highlights:

•

Crude oil purchases in Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 64.6 billion, a Ps 27.6 billion or 74.7% increase compared to Ps 37.0 billion in Q2 2018. A 71.0% increase was observed in the prices of crude oil expressed in Argentine pesos, mainly due to the devaluation in the period. In turn, crude oil volumes purchased from third parties increased by 16.0%, while the volume of crude oil transferred from the Upstream segment decreased by only 0.7%;

•

Fuel imports in Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 10.4 billion, representing an increase of Ps 6.6 billion, or 176.9% compared to Ps 3.8 billion in Q2 2018, mainly associated with higher imports of diesel and jet fuel, given the lower volume processed in 2019, in addition to the effects of the devaluation that occurred during this period;

•

Biofuel purchases (FAME and bioethanol) for the Q2 2019 period amounted to Ps 7.6 billion, representing an increase of Ps 2.3 billion, or 43.2% with respect to Q2 2018, mainly due to an increase of 60.4% and 44.2% in the price of FAME and bioethanol, respectively; and to lower volumes of FAME (10.8%) and bioethanol (0.6%) acquired in Q2 2019;

•

In Q2 2019, grain receipts in the agricultural sales segment through the form of barter, which were recorded as purchases, increased by Ps 3.0 billion, or 107.4% compared to Q2 2018. This increase is due to a 41.4% increase in the average price and 46.6% in the volumes received;

•

In Q2 2019, a positive stock variation of Ps 2.0 billion was recorded in this segment compared to a negative stock variation of Ps 0.4 billion in Q2 2018, mainly due to the increase in the crude price in Q2 2019 (at the applicable transfer price);

•

Regarding production costs, refining costs for Q2 2019 totaled Ps 5.7 billion, which represents an increase of approximately Ps 2.8 billion, or 99.0%, compared to Ps 2.9 billion in Q2 2018. This increase was mainly driven by higher consumption of materials, spare parts and other supplies and higher repair and maintenance charges. Because of this, and considering also that the processing level in refineries decreased by 4.4%, the unit refining cost increased in Q2 2019 by 108.2% compared to Q2 2018;

•

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment in Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 3.9 billion, which represents an increase of approximately Ps 1.7 billion, or 79.3%, mainly due to higher value of assets subject to depreciation compared to the same period of previous year and due to the higher valuation thereof when taking into account that the Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar;

•

Transport costs linked to production (shipping, oil pipelines and polyducts) for Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 2.5 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 1.0 billion, or 71.9% compared to Ps 1.5 billion in Q2 2018 driven mainly by higher tariffs in Argentine pesos.

Selling expenses in Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 10.5 billion, representing an increase of Ps 4.9 billion, or 88.4%, compared to Ps 5.6 billion in Q2 2018. This increase was mainly driven by higher costs for transporting products, in turn related to the increase in sales and the increase in transportation tariffs in the domestic market, as well as higher charges for depreciation of fixed assets, higher personnel expenses and higher amounts of taxes on bank debits and credits, and withholdings on exports.

The volume of crude oil processed in Q2 2019 was 262.8 Kbbld, a 4.4% decrease compared to Q2 2018 mainly due to the general power cut in Argentina on June 16, 2019 and plant stoppages. With these lower levels of processing, there was a lower production of diesel (-1.9%), a lower production of gasoline (-6.2%), corresponding to a lower production of Infinia Gasoline (-37.9%) which was partially offset by higher production of Super Gasoline (+8.3%). In addition, the production of other refined products such as LPG, petroleum coal, asphalts, and lubricant bases decreased, while the production of fuel oil and petrochemical naphtha increased, in comparison with Q2 2018.

CAPEX

Capital expenditures for Q2 2019 were Ps 6.0 billion, a 123.7% increase compared to Q2 2018.

In the La Plata Refinery, the blending work of gasoline and diesel was concluded with the mechanical completion and the main works to revamp the Topping D unit have begun, in order to increase the processing capacity of crude shale. It is estimated that it will be completed during the year 2021. Engineering developments continue for the new diesel and gasoline hydrotreating units to be carried out in the three refineries. The works in the aforementioned complexes are carried out with the objective of complying with Resolution 5/2016 of the Hydrocarbons Resources Secretariat on new fuel specifications.

In the refining, logistics and oil product dispatch facilities, work continues for purposes of improving the existing infrastructure, and certain aspects relating to safety and environmental protection. In the La Plata Industrial Complex, the reception of crude oil has mechanical completion. This will provide greater flexibility in the loading of crude oil to Toppings and will have an improvement on the safety conditions, for both of the facilities of said complex and the associated logistics.

The Gas and Energy business segment reported an operating gain of Ps 1.9 billion during Q2 2019 compared to an operating gain of Ps 0.8 billion in Q2 2018.

The revenues of the segment during Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 34.2 billion, representing an increase of 43.2% compared to Q2 2018, of which we highlight the following:

•

Sales of natural gas as producers in the local market and abroad increased by Ps 6.8 billion, or 44.9% to Ps 22.1 billion from Ps 15.3 billion in Q2 2018, as a consequence of an increase in the average price of natural gas of 62.2% (in Argentine pesos), partially offset by a 10.7% decrease in the volume sold. This reduction is explained by the excess supply of gas compared to domestic demand, which impacted the production of natural gas and therefore negatively affected the volumes dispatched during the second quarter of 2019;

•

Sales of natural gas to the retail segment (residential customers and small industries and businesses) increased by Ps 4.3 billion, or 80.4% to Ps 9.7 billion from Ps 5.4 billion in Q2 2018. This increase was due to the fact that our controlled company Metrogas S.A., whose functional currency is the Argentine peso, recorded an inflation adjustment of Ps 0.9 billion in Q2 2019 sales based on current local regulations. Additionally, such company obtained higher average sale prices of 38.1% and a 23.1% increase in volume sold through its distribution network.

Total operating costs for Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 30.9 billion representing an increase of 39.7%, compared to Ps 22.1 billion in Q2 2018, primarily due to the following factors:

•

Purchases of natural gas amounted to Ps 22.2 billion, increasing by Ps 5.9 billion or 36.6% from Ps 16.3 billion in Q2 2018, driven by 56.0% increase in prices, measured in Argentine pesos, mainly due to the devaluation that occurred in the current period. In addition, volume purchased from third parties decreased by 70.4%, while volumes transferred from the Upstream segment decreased by 10.0%;

•

Purchases of natural gas from other producers for resale in the retail distribution segment (residential and small businesses and industries) in Q2 2019 amounted to Ps 5.2 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 1.7 billion, or 50.9%, from Ps 3.5 billion in Q2 2018, mainly driven by an inflation adjustment of Ps 0.5 billion recorded by our subsidiary Metrogas S.A., higher prices of 58.9% and a 5.1% decrease in volume purchased;


		Consolidated Results Q2 2019

•

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment corresponding to the production process amounted Ps 0.3 billion, showing an increase of Ps 0.2 billion or 336.1%, mainly due to higher depreciation of assets of our controlled company Metrogas S.A. compared to the same period of the previous year due to recording the inflation adjustment.

3.4 CORPORATE AND OTHERS

This business segment involves mainly corporate costs and other activities that are not reported in any of the previously-mentioned business segments.

Corporate operating income for Q2 2019 was a loss of Ps 2.7 billion, compared to a loss of Ps 1.5 billion in Q2 2018. The variation is mainly related to an increase in personnel expenses, higher IT costs relating to computer licenses, many of which are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars, and institutional advertising, together with higher charges for depreciation of fixed assets, which were partially offset by the revenues recorded under this business segment.

Consolidation adjustments to eliminate results among business segments not transferred to third parties were positive Ps 2.5 billion for Q2 2019 and negative Ps 0.8 billion for Q2 2018. This quarter, the gap between the transfer prices between businesses and the replacement cost of the company’s inventories decreased, while in Q2 2018 the same had increased. In both cases, the movement of transfer prices reflects the changes in market prices, especially of crude oil.

4. LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

In Q2 2019, net cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to Ps 40.7 billion, which represents a 47.6% increase compared to Q2 2018. This Ps 13.1 billion variation was mainly due to a Ps 19.4 billion increase in EBITDA, and to a lesser extent due to negative working capital variations, which include payments for adhesion to the tax revaluation established in Law No. 27,430 and also, for adhering to the payment facilities plan established by RG No. 4477 / 2019 in relation to the deduction of the cost of abandonment of wells corresponding to the periods 2005 to 2010 from income taxes, higher accounts receivables from the higher sales of the quarter, partially offset by the payment of five instalments of “Plan Gas Bonds”. The generation of funds during the second quarter of 2019 was not sufficient to cover the amount that the Company required to finance the investments made during this period, mainly from the strategic investments made in the Ensenada de Barragán Thermal Power Plant and in the Aguada del Chañar area.

Net cash flows used in investing activities were Ps 48.0 billion for Q2 2019, 176.5% higher than in Q2 2018. Investments in fixed and intangible assets were Ps 43.8 billion in Q2 2019, 141.8% higher than in Q2 2018. It should be noted that on June 25, 2019, YPF acquired the exploitation concession of the Aguada del Chañar area for Ps 4.1 billion. Additionally, contributions and acquisitions of interests in companies and joint ventures increased by Ps 4.7 billion during the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, mainly due to the acquisition of the Ensenada de Barragán Thermal Power Plant. On the other hand, the Company received Ps 0.5 billion of interest from BONAR 2020 and 2021 holdings.

Because of its financing activities, in Q2 2019 the Company had a net increase in funds of Ps 6.6 billion, compared to a net decrease of Ps 2.7 billion in Q2 2018. This difference was mainly driven by a net increase in debt of Ps 16.0 billion, partially offset by a higher interest payment of Ps 3.4 billion and leasing payments of Ps 3.0 billion.


		Consolidated Results Q2 2019

The previously described cash generation, together with the Company’s investment in Argentine sovereign bonds, including those received to cancel the accounts receivables of the Gas Plan program for the year 2015, which are still in the Company’s portfolio, resulted in a position of cash and cash equivalents of Ps 67.2 billion₍₁₎ as of June 30, 2019.

Total debt in U.S. dollars was US$ 9.4 billion, net debt was US$ 7.8 billion₍₂₎ with a Net debt/ Adjusted EBITDA LTM ratio of 1.90x₍₂₎.

The average interest rate for debt denominated in Argentine pesos at the end of Q2 2019 was 44.76%, while the average interest rate for debt denominated in U.S. dollars was 7.54%.

YPF negotiable obligations issued during Q2 2019 are detailed below:


YPF Note	Amount	Interest Rate	Maturity
Series I	USD 500 M	8.50%	84 months

(1)	Includes investments in financial assets (government securities) of US$ 256 million at market value.

(2)	Net debt: US$ 7,758 million/ Adjusted EBITDA LTM: US$4,077 million = 1.90x. Net debt is calculated as total debt less cash & equivalents and financial derivatives.
