2. ANALYSIS OF RESULTS FOR Q3 2019

Revenues for Q3 2019 were Ps 180.4 billion, an increase of 48.9% compared to Ps 121.2 billion in Q3 2018, primarily due to the following factors:

 

   

Diesel revenues in Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 59.0 billion, a Ps 20.3 billion or 52.3% increase when compared to Q3 2018;

 

   

Gasoline revenues in Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 35.5 billion, a Ps 10.3 billion or 40.7% increase when compared to Q3 2018;

 

   

Natural gas revenues in Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 24.7 billion compared to Ps 20.0 billion in Q3 2018, which represents an increase of Ps 4.7 billion, or 23.6%;

 

   

Retail natural gas revenues (residential and small business and companies) in Q3 2019 reached Ps 12.8 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 5.8 billion, or 83.2%, from Ps 7.0 billion in Q3 2018;

 

   

Other domestic sales in Q3 2019, which include jet fuel, crude oil, petrochemicals, fuel oil and lubricants, among others, totaled Ps 29.4 billion which represents an increase of Ps 10.3 billion or 53.7%, from Ps 19.1 billion in Q3 2018;

 

   

Export revenues in Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 19.0 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 7.9 billion, or 71.1%, from Ps 11.1 billion in Q3 2018.

Cost of sales for Q3 2019 was Ps 149.6 billion, 55.8% higher than Q3 2018. This includes a 60.1% increase in production costs and 30.8% increase in purchases. Cash costs, which include costs of production and purchases but exclude depreciation and amortization, increased by 44.9%. This increase was driven primarily by the following factors:

 

  a)

Production costs

 

   

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounted to Ps 35.5 billion in Q3 2019, compared to Ps 21.9 billion in Q3 2018, which represents an increase of Ps 13.6 billion or 62.1%;

  b)

Purchases

 

   

In Q3 2019 crude oil purchases from third parties amounted to Ps 11.5 billion, which represents an increase of approximately Ps 1.5 billion, or 14.7%, from Ps 10.0 billion of Q3 2018;

 

   

Biofuel (biodiesel and bioethanol) purchases in Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 9.1 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 2.7 billion, or 41.3%, from Ps 6.4 billion of Q3 2018;

 

   

Purchases of natural gas from other producers for resale in the retail distribution segment (residential, small businesses and industries) in Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 7.3 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 2.3 billion, or 45.2%, from Ps 5.0 billion in Q3 2018;

 

   

Grain receipts in the agricultural sales segment through the form of barter, which were recorded as purchases, amounted to Ps 4.3 billion in Q3 2019, which represents an increase of Ps 2.6 billion, or 154.6%, from Ps 1.7 billion in Q3 2018;

 

   

In Q3 2019, a positive stock variation of Ps 0.7 billion was recorded, compared to the positive stock variation registered in Q3 2018 of Ps 5.1 billion, mainly as a result of the increase in replacement cost of inventories.

Selling expenses for Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 11.9 billion, an increase of 67.3% compared to Ps 7.1 billion in Q3 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 Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 6.1 billion, an increase of 65.0% compared to Ps 3.7 billion in Q3 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.

Exploration expenses for Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 1.9 billion, representing an increase of 77.1% compared to Ps 1.1 billion for Q3 2018.

During Q3 2019, the Company recognized a non-recurring charge for deterioration of property, plant and equipment of Ps 41.4 billion (Ps 31.1 billion net of taxes), mainly from the UGE Gas - Neuquina Basin, mainly based on the lower gas prices (and liquids) due to the situation that this market is facing both globally and due to specific dynamics, locally. This price trend is incorporated in the projections for the coming months, all of which impacts on investments and activity, causing the deterioration in the value of the assets for the recorded charge.

Other operating results, net, for Q3 2019 represented a loss of Ps 0.2 billion, compared to a loss of Ps 0.6 billion for Q3 2018. The variation corresponds mainly to higher insurance income from incidents, and an incentive to promote the national manufacture of capital goods corresponding to decree 379/2001, based on the activity carried out by our controlled company A-Evangelista S.A., recorded in Q3 2019, partially offset by higher negative charges in the provision for judicial contingencies.

   Consolidated Results Q3 2019

 

 

Net financial results for Q3 2019 represented a gain of Ps 27.4 billion, compared to the gain of Ps 25.5 billion in Q3 2018. As such, a higher positive foreign exchange was registered over net liabilities in Ps 3.8 billion, due to the depreciation of the Argentine peso observed during Q3 2019, compared to Q3 2018. Additionally, higher net positive charges were obtained for financial restatements of Ps 8.7 billion as a result of the recalculation of the liabilities for the abandonment of wells. These results were partially offset by higher negative interests of Ps 5.9 billion and higher interest rates during Q3 2019 and compared to the same period of 2018. Additionally, there were higher negative charges for valuation at fair value of financial assets of Ps 6.3 billion, mainly due to the fall in the price of public bonds BONAR 2020 and 2021 in the third quarter 2019, and higher interest earned by Ps 1.0 billion.

Income tax expense during Q3 2019 amounted to a loss of Ps 9.0 billion, compared to a loss of Ps 23.4 billion for Q3 2018, all this considering the projected effective rate.

Net income for Q3 2019 before the asset impairment charge was a gain of Ps 18.5 billion, compared to the net income gain of Ps 13.2 billion in Q3 2018. Considering the asset impairment charge of Ps 41.4 billion (Ps 31.1 billion net of taxes) during Q3 2019, the net income was negative in Ps 12.5 billion, compared to the net income reported of Ps 13.2 billion in Q3 2018.

Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment in Q3 2019 were Ps 41.0 billion, a 50.7% increase compared to the capital expenditures made during Q3 2018.

In Q3 2019, the Upstream business segment before the asset impairment charge, recorded an operating gain of Ps 0.4 billion, compared to a gain of Ps 12.2 billion in Q3 2018. Considering the asset impairment charge of Ps. 40.6 billion, the operating loss for this segment in Q3 2019 was Ps 40.2 billion.

Revenues were Ps 76.7 billion for Q3 2019, an increase of 20.9% compared to Q3 2018, primarily due to the following factors:

 

   

Crude oil revenues amounted to Ps 49.8 billion, an increase of 16.6% or Ps 7.1 billion compared to Ps 42.7 billion in Q3 2018 as the intersegment price of oil increased by approximately 20.0% measured in Argentine pesos. The average realization price for crude oil in dollars during Q3 2019 decreased by 23.8% to US$ 48.5/bbl, fundamentally impacted by the pesification of domestic crude prices established by the DNU No. 566/19 and its amendments. Crude oil volume transferred between segments decreased 3.7%;

 

   

Natural gas revenues reached Ps 27.1 billion, 29.1% or Ps 6.1 billion higher than the Ps 21.0 billion in Q3 2018 as a result of a 33.7% increase in the average price in pesos considering the devaluation occurred between both periods. The average realization price for the quarter in dollars was U$S 4.03/Mmbtu, 10.4% lower than in Q3 2018. Moreover, volume sold between segments increased by 2.9% compared to Q3 2018.

Total hydrocarbon production for Q3 2019 was 530.0 Kboed, remaining stable compared to Q3 2018. Crude oil production only declined 0.2%, resulting in 227.0 Kbbld. Additionally, as of December 31, 2018 and July 31, 2019, the process of assigning marginal areas ended whose production during the third quarter of 2018 was 1.9 Kbbld and 0.5 Kbbld respectively. The production of natural gas decreased 0.1% compared to the same period of 2018, reaching 43.6 Mm3d. Gas sales to distributors increased during Q3 2019 while sales to power generators decreased. In turn, NGL production increased 5.9% to 28.5 Kbbld.

Regarding the development activity, in Q3 2019, 109 new wells have been put into production, including the non-conventional shale and tight wells described below, of which 33 are not operated.

During Q3 2019, in the shale areas, YPF´s net hydrocarbon production reached 102.1 Kboed, which represents an increase of 77.1% compared to Q3 2018. This production is comprised of 36.6 Kbbld of crude oil, 7.1 Kbbld of NGL and 9.3 Mm3d of natural gas. Regarding the operated development activity, 32 wells have been put into production targeting the Vaca Muerta formation, reaching a total of approximately 808 active wells of which 72 are not operated, with a total of 18 active drilling rigs and 12 workovers at the end of Q3 2019.

With respect to tight development, net production in Q3 2019 reached a total of 11.9 Mm3d of natural gas, plus 2.3 Kbbld of NGL and 5.6 Kbbld of crude oil, of which 88.9% comes from YPF operated areas. Regarding the operated activity conducted during the period, 10 new wells were put into production in Estación Fernández Oro and 1 in Rio Neuquén.

Operating costs (excluding exploration expenses) for Q3 2019 totaled Ps 75.0 billion, a 50.5% increase compared to Q3 2018, of which we highlight the following:

 

   

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounted to Ps 31.1 billion in Q3 2019 compared to Ps 18.9 billion in Q3 2018, representing an increase of approximately Ps 12.2 billion, or 64.3%, mainly due to the appreciation of the assets considering their valuation in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company;

 

   

Lifting costs for Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 28.4 billion, an increase of Ps 11.7 billion or 70.3% compared to Ps 16.7 billion in Q3 2018. In turn, the increase in the unit indicator, measured in Argentine pesos, was 71.5%, in line with the general increase in prices of the economy and the higher workover activity intended to improve the production performance of certain mature fields;

 

   

Royalties and other production related costs in Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 10.7 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 1.4 billion, or 15.2%, compared to Ps 9.3 billion in Q3 2018. Of this increase, Ps 1.0 billion, or 16.3% was related to royalties in connection with crude oil production, and Ps 0.4, or 12.8% billion was related to royalties for natural gas production, in both cases due to higher wellhead values of these products measured in Argentine pesos;

 

   

Transportation costs related to production (trucks, pipelines and polyducts in deposit) for Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 2.5 billion, an increase of approximately Ps 1.3 billion, or 102.6%, compared to Ps 1.2 billion for Q3 2018 due to higher tariffs measured in Argentine pesos and higher activity in unconventional areas.

Exploration expenses for Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 1.9 billion, an increase of 79.8% compared to Ps 1.1 billion for Q3 2018, mainly due to higher negative results from unproductive exploratory drilling during the quarter in a differential amount of Ps 0.7 billion and due to higher expenses relating to geophysical and geological studies in an amount of Ps 0.4 billion. Exploratory investment during Q3 2019 was 26.4% higher than in Q3 2018, totaling Ps 2.0 billion.

During Q3 2019, the Company recognized a non-recurring charge for deterioration of property, plant and equipment of Ps 40.6 billion, mainly from the UGE Gas - Neuquina Basin, mainly based on the lower gas prices (and liquids) due to the situation that this market is facing both globally and, due to specific dynamics, locally. This price trend is incorporated in the projections for the coming months, all of which impacts on investments and activity, causing the deterioration in the value of the assets for the recorded charge.

Unit operating cash costs in U.S. dollars decreased 8.8% to US$ 18.2/boe in Q3 2019 from US$ 19.9/boe in Q3 2018, including taxes of US$ 5.0/boe and US$ 6.7/boe, respectively. In turn, the average lifting cost for YPF in Q3 2019 was US$ 11.6/boe, 8.2% higher than Q3 2018.

CAPEX

Capital expenditures for the Upstream business segment for Q3 2019 were Ps 34.3 billion, a 52.3% increase compared to Q3 2018. Of these capital expenditures, 66.9% were invested in drilling and workover activities, 24.9% in facilities and the remaining 8.2% in exploration and other activities in the Upstream business segment.

As in Q2 2019, the activity during Q3 was mainly focused on shale oil, on the development of the Loma Campana, La Amarga Chica and Bandurria Sur blocks. In addition, the activity on Chihuido de la Sierra Negra pilot continues, while the first results are being evaluated in Las Manadas, Filo Morado and Loma la Lata-Sierra Barrosa blocks.

Regarding conventional oil, activities were focused on primary recovery projects developed in Mesa Verde, Manantiales Behr (El Alba Valle, El Alba y Myburg Proyect), El Trébol-Escalante, Seco León as well as secondary recovery projects mainly in the Chachahuen, Cerro Morado Este, Cerro Fortunoso, El Treból, Los Perales blocks, among others. In turn, as expected, the investment activity focused on tertiary recovery continued, mainly in the Manantiales Behr, Los Perales and Desfiladero Bayo blocks.

As in Q2 2019, shale gas activity during Q3 2019 was focused on the non-operated La Calera block, with strong liquids components and the finalization of 3 blocks in La Ribera. Regarding tight gas, activity was focused on the Estación Fernández Oro (EFO) block.

Exploration activities for Q3 2019 was focused in the Neuquina basin, in Loma la Lata, Rincón del Mangrullo, Al Norte de la Dorsal and Cerro Manrique blocks.

The average net price of diesel for 3Q 2018 suffered an adjustment because pending commissions were entered.

Operating income for the Downstream business segment for Q3 2019 was Ps 5.5 billion, compared to the loss of Ps 0.9 billion recorded in Q3 2018.

Revenues were Ps 136.5 billion in Q3 2019, representing an 49.7% increase compared to Ps 91.2 billion in Q3 2018, primarily due to the following factors:

 

   

Diesel revenues in Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 59.0 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 20.3 billion, or 52.3%, compared to those of Q3 2018, due to an increase of 61.4% in the average price obtained for the diesel mix in Argentine pesos, partially offset by lower total volumes shipped of approximately 5.6%, while in the market there was an increase of this product of approximately 1.6%. Additionally, the volume of Infinia Diesel (premium diesel) sold decreased by 5.5%. We highlight the extraordinary sales situation evidenced in Q3 2018, where YPF reached higher than ordinary volumes, mainly through the lower participation of competition in certain markets at that time;

 

   

Gasoline revenues in Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 35.5 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 10.3 billion, or 40.7% compared to those of Q3 2018, due to an increase of 43.4% in the average price obtained for the gasoline mix, partially offset by a decrease in the total volumes shipped of 1.8%, while in the market there was a small increase for this product of approximately 0.3%. Additionally, during the quarter there was a 9.2% decrease in the volume of Infinia Gasoline (premium gasoline) sold;

Other sales in the domestic market for Q3 2019 totaled Ps 23.9 billion, representing an increase of Ps 7.8 billion or 48.0% compared to Q3 2018. We highlight the increase in sales of fuel oil by 589.8%, higher sales of crude oil by 422.2%, higher sales of jet fuel by 65.6%, higher sales of asphalts by 53.5%, higher sales of fertilizers by 40.7%, higher sales of petrochemical products by 39.5% and lubricants by 35.7%, in all these cases mainly due to higher prices of these products measured in Argentine pesos;

 

   

On the other hand, export revenues in the Downstream segment during Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 18.1 billion, representing an increase of Ps 7.0 billion, or 63.1%, compared to such exports in Q3 2018. We highlight the export of flours and grains by Ps 2.9 billion, or 144.8% due to an increase of 48.1% in prices and 65.3% in higher volume sold. Jet fuel sales increased by Ps 2.2 billion, or 52.0% due to higher sales prices in Argentine pesos of 41.8% and a 7.2% increase in volumes sold. Exports of lubricants increased by Ps 0.3 billion, or 61.8% driven by higher average prices and less volumes sold. Fuel oil sales increased by Ps 0.3 billion, or 32.1% driven by higher average prices and partially offset by lower volumes sold. Petrochemical sales increased Ps 0.2 billion, or 12.9% due to an increase in the prices obtained measured in Argentine pesos. In addition, during this quarter exports of virgin naphtha totaled Ps 1.3 billion, whereas Q3 2018 did not record foreign sales of this product.

Cost of sales and operating expenses for Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 118.9 billion representing an increase of Ps 33.8 billion, or 39.7%, compared to Q3 2018, with the following highlights:

 

   

Crude oil purchases in Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 61.3 billion, a Ps 8.2 billion or 15.4% increase compared to Ps 53.1 billion in Q3 2018, affected partially by the DNU No. 566/19 imposed in Q3 2019. A 18.7% increase in the prices of crude oil expressed in Argentine pesos was observed, mainly due to the devaluation in the period, net of the aforementioned effect. In turn, crude oil volumes purchased from third parties increased by 1.4%, while the volume of crude oil transferred from the Upstream segment decreased by only 3.7%. We highlight the increase in the purchases of light crude oil, compared to lower purchases of heavy crudes;

 

   

Biofuel purchases (biodiesel and bioethanol) for the Q3 2019 period amounted to Ps 9.1 billion, representing an increase of Ps 2.7 billion, or 41.3% with respect to Q3 2018, mainly due to an increase of 47.3% and 32.1% in the price of biodiesel and bioethanol, respectively; and to higher acquired volumes of biodiesel (0.9%), partially offset by lower bioethanol (0.4%) acquired in Q3 2019;

 

   

In Q3 2019, grain receipts in the agricultural sales segment through the form of barter, which were recorded as purchases, increased by Ps 2.6 billion, or 154.6% compared to Q3 2018. This is due to a 67.8% increase in the average price and 51.7% in the volumes received;

 

   

In Q3 2019, a negative stock variation of Ps 7.3 billion was recorded in this segment compared to the positive stock variation of Ps 5.5 billion in Q3 2018, mainly due to the decrease in the crude price in Q3 2019 (at the applicable transfer price);

Regarding production costs, refining costs for Q3 2019 totaled Ps 6.5 billion, which represents an increase of approximately Ps 3.1 billion, or 92.8%, compared to Ps 3.4 billion in Q3 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, the unit refining cost increased in Q3 2019 by 88.0% compared to Q3 2018;

 

   

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment in Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 3.8 billion, which represents an increase of approximately Ps 1.0 billion, or 35.4%, 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 considering that the Company´s functional currency is the U.S. dollar;

 

   

Transport costs linked to production (shipping, oil pipelines and polyducts) for Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 3.1 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 1.2 billion, or 60.1% compared to Ps 1.9 billion in Q3 2018 driven mainly by higher tariffs in Argentine pesos.

Selling expenses in Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 11.7 billion, representing an increase of Ps 4.9 billion, or 72.4%, compared to Ps 6.8 billion in Q3 2018. This increase was mainly driven by higher costs for transporting products, related to 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 Q3 2019 was 287.4 Kbbld, 2.6% higher compared to Q3 2018 mainly due to plant stoppages realized during the third quarter 2018. With these levels of processing, there was a higher production of Diesel (+1.1%), a lower production of Gasoline (-3.0%), due to lower production of Infinia Gasoline (-4.5%) and Super Gasoline (-2.4%). In addition, the production of other refined products such as LPG and petroleum coal decreased, while the production of fuel oil, asphalts, lubricant bases and petrochemical naphtha increased, in comparison with Q3 2018.

CAPEX

Capital expenditures for Q3 2019 were Ps 3.2 billion, a 12.7% lower compared to Q3 2018.

In the La Plata Refinery, the blending works of gasoline and diesel were concluded, giving higher operational flexibility. Engineering developments continue for the new diesel and gasoline hydrotreating units to be carried out in the three refineries. The works in the referred 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 facilities of said complex and the associated logistics.

In Q3 2019, the Gas and Energy business segment before the asset impairment charge, reported an operating gain of Ps 1.8 billion during Q3 2019 compared to an operating gain of Ps 2.9 billion during Q3 2018. Considering the asset impairment charge of Ps 0.9 billion, the operating income for this segment for Q3 2019 was 0.9 billion.

The revenues of the segment during Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 43.1 billion, representing an increase of 36.7% compared to Q3 2018, of which we highlight the following:

 

   

Sales of natural gas as producers in the local market and abroad increased by Ps 5.8 billion, or 26.7% to Ps 27.6 billion from Ps 21.8 billion in Q3 2018, as a consequence of an increase in the average price of natural gas of 33.8% (in Argentine pesos), partially offset by a 5.3% decrease in the volume sold;

 

   

Sales of natural gas to the retail segment (residential customers, small industries and businesses) increased by Ps 5.8 billion, or 83.2% to Ps 12.8 billion from Ps 7.0 billion in Q3 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 2.6 billion in Q3 2019 sales based on current local regulations. Additionally, such company obtained higher average sale prices of 75.8% in Argentine pesos and a 2.0% decrease in volume sold through its distribution network.

Total operating costs for Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 39.5 billion representing an increase of 41.3%, compared to Ps 27.9 billion in Q3 2018, primarily due to the following factors:

 

   

Purchases of natural gas amounted to Ps 27.5 billion, increasing by Ps 5.8 billion or 26.9% from Ps 21.7 billion in Q3 2018, driven by 31.0% 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 95.9%, while volumes transferred from the Upstream segment increased by 2.9%;

 

   

Purchases of natural gas from other producers for resale in the retail distribution segment (residential, small businesses and industries) in Q3 2019 amounted to Ps 7.3 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 2.3 billion, or 45.2%, from Ps 5.0 billion in Q3 2018, mainly driven by an inflation adjustment of Ps 1.1 billion recorded by our subsidiary Metrogas S.A., higher purchase prices of approximately 45.7% and a 14.7% reduction in volumes purchased;

   Consolidated Results Q3 2019

 

 

   

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment corresponding to the production process showed an increase of Ps 0.3 billion or 379.8%, 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 Q3 2019 was a loss of Ps 4.1 billion, compared to a loss of Ps 1.6 billion in Q3 2018. This higher loss was related with the expected losses in ongoing projects mainly from our controlled company A-Evangelista S.A., whose cumulative impact took place during the current period. Additionally, in Q3 2019 it was observed 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 7.3 billion for Q3 2019 compared to Ps 62 million for Q3 2018. During this quarter, the gap between the transfer prices between businesses and the replacement cost of the Company’s inventories decreased, while in Q3 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 Q3 2019, net cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to Ps 60.3 billion, which represents an 87.2% increase compared to Q3 2018. This Ps 28.1 billion variation was mainly due to a Ps 16.0 billion increase in EBITDA, and due to negative working capital variations, which include the collection of three instalments of “Plan Gas Bonds” during the quarter, partially offset by the payment of the last instalment for the adhesion to the tax revaluation established in Law No. 27,430, the payment of the installments associated to the 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. The generation of funds during the third quarter of 2019 was sufficient to cover the amount that the Company required to finance the investments made during the period.

Net cash flows used in investing activities were Ps 40.3 billion for Q3 2019, 79.6% higher than in Q3 2018. Investments in fixed and intangible assets were Ps 40.5 billion in Q3 2019, 73.1% higher than in Q3 2018. Additionally, Ps 0.3 billion was charged for the sale of areas during the third quarter of 2019 with respect to the same period of the previous year.

Because of its financing activities, in Q3 2019 the Company had a net decrease in funds of Ps 40.2 billion, compared to a net decrease of Ps 14.0 billion in Q3 2018. This difference was mainly driven by a net decrease in debt of Ps 15.4 billion, by a higher interest payment of Ps 4.0 billion, by leasing payments of Ps 4.4 billion and by the payment of dividends for Ps 2.3 billion.

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 59.9 billion (1) as of September 30, 2019.

Total debt in U.S. dollars was US$ 8.8 billion, and net debt was US$ 7.7 billion (2) with a Net debt / Adjusted EBITDA LTM ratio of 1.98x (2).

The average interest rate for debt denominated in Argentine pesos at the end of Q3 2019 was 55.80%, while the average interest rate for debt denominated in U.S. dollars was 7.58%.

During Q3 2019 YPF reopened a Negotiable Obligation Class XLII for a total amount of Ps 3.5 billion, BADLAR rate plus 10% margin, maturity 09/24/2020.

 

(1)

Includes investments in financial assets (government securities) of US$ 132 million at market value.

(2)

Net debt: US$ 7,717 million / Adjusted EBITDA LTM: US$3,904 million = 1.98x. Net debt is calculated as total debt less cash & equivalents.

NOTE: For the third quarter of 2018, the calculation of the financial figures expressed in US dollars arises from the calculation of the consolidated results expressed in Argentine pesos divided by the average exchange rate for this period. For the periods of the second quarter and third quarter of 2019, the calculation of the financial figures expressed in US dollars arises from the sum of: (1) the individual results of YPF S.A. expressed in Argentine pesos divided the average exchange rate for the period and (2) the results of subsidiary companies expressed in Argentine pesos divided the closing exchange rate.

For the acummulated periods, January to September 2018 and January to September 2019, the calculation of the financial figures expressed in US dollars arises from the sum of the results of each quarter.
