2. ANALYSIS OF RESULTS FOR Q2 2020

Revenues for Q2 2020 were Ps 133.6 billion, a decrease of 16.7% compared to Ps 160.3 billion in Q2 2019, primarily due to the below factors. It should be clarified that these variations were impacted by the mandatory lockdown measures implemented by the government in Q2 2020 to prevent the circulation and spread of the COVID-19 virus.

 

 

 

Diesel revenues in Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 49.3 billion, a Ps 4.3 billion or 8.0% decrease when compared to Q2 2019;

 

 

 

Gasoline revenues in Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 17.9 billion, a Ps 14.5 billion or 44.6% decrease when compared to Q2 2019;

Cash costs, which include costs of production and purchases but exclude depreciation and amortization, decreased by 6.4%. These variations were driven primarily by the following factors:

 

 

a)

Production costs

 

 

 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounted to Ps 40.7 billion in Q2 2020, compared to Ps 32.3 billion in Q2 2019, which represents an increase of Ps 8.4 billion or 26.0%;

b)

Purchases

 

 

 

In Q2 2020 crude oil purchases from third parties amounted to Ps 0.9 billion, which represents a decrease of Ps 11.7 billion, or 92.5%, from Ps 12.6 billion of Q2 2019;

 

 

 

Biofuel (biodiesel and bioethanol) purchases in Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 5.1 billion, which represents a decrease of Ps 2.5 billion, or 32.5%, from Ps 7.6 billion of Q2 2019;

 

 

 

Purchases of natural gas from other producers for resale in the retail distribution segment (residential customers and small businesses) and from its marketing to large customers (power plants and industries) in Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 4.4 billion, which represents a decrease of Ps 0.9 billion, or 17.1%, from Ps 5.3 billion in Q2 2019;

 

 

 

Fuel imports in Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 3.9 billion, which represents a decrease of Ps 6.5 billion, or 62.6%, from Ps 10.4 billion in Q2 2019;

 

 

 

Grain receipts in the agricultural sales segment through the form of barter, which were recorded as purchases, amounted to Ps 9.2 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 3.4 billion, or 59.0%, from Ps 5.8 billion in Q2 2019;

 

 

 

In Q2 2020, a negative stock variation of Ps 5.6 billion was recorded, compared to the positive stock variation registered in Q2 2019 of Ps 5.4 billion, mainly as a result of the decrease in the replacement cost of the Company’s inventories.

Selling expenses for Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 23.2 billion, an increase of 106.5% compared to Ps 11.2 billion in Q2 2019. In Q2 2020, a credit impairment charge with Distributors was recorded as of June 30, 2020, associated with the accumulated daily differences according to Decree No. 1053/2018, which amounts to Ps 8.0 billion. Therefore, excluding this effect, selling expenses showed an increase of 35.6% compared to the same period in 2019, mainly motivated by higher charges of taxes, fees and contributions, mainly due to the increase in exports withholdings, higher charges for depreciation of fixed assets, higher personnel expenses, and higher contracts for works and other services, among others.

Administration expenses for Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 7.4 billion, an increase of 28.3% compared to Ps 5.8 billion in Q2 2019. The increase was mostly due to higher personnel expenses driven mainly by wages adjustments in Q2 2019, higher charges on depreciation of fixed assets, higher IT costs on computer licenses, many of which are denominated in U.S. dollars, partially offset by lower charges related to institutional advertising.

Exploration expenses for Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 0.1 billion, representing a decrease of 86.7% compared to Ps 1.1 billion for Q2 2019.

During Q2 2020, the Company recognized a non-recurring charge for deterioration of property, plant and equipment of Ps 57.4 billion mainly for the CGU Gas - Neuquén Basin of Ps 49.2 billion (net effect of the tax on profits of Ps 36.9 billion) and CGU Gas - Austral Basin of Ps 8.1 billion (net effect of income tax of Ps 6.1 billion) mainly based on an expected reduction in gas prices due to the situation that this market is facing both globally and due to local dynamics. This price trend is incorporated in the projections for the coming months, all of which has an impact on investments and activity, causing the deterioration in the value of the assets for the recorded charge. Said charge has not affected the Company’s cash generation.

   Consolidated Results Q2 2020

 

 

Other operating results, net, for Q2 2020 represented a gain of Ps 7.9 billion, compared to the loss of Ps 0.9 billion for Q2 2019. This variation is mainly explained by the sale of 11% of YPF’s stake in the Bandurria Sur area to Bandurria Sur Investments S.A. (BSI), a company whose share package is composed 50% by Shell Argentina S.A. and 50% by Equinor Argentina S.A., for Ps 4.4 billion. Additionally, in Q2 2020, a result is included in relation to an insurance for the uncontrolled-wells incident occurred in the areas of Bandurria Sur and Loma La Lata, which amounts to Ps 2.7 billion, and as of date is pending collection.

Financial results, net, for Q2 2020 represented a gain of Ps 5.2 billion, compared to the loss of Ps 14.4 billion in Q2 2019. As such, a higher positive foreign exchange was registered over net liabilities in Ps 16.3 billion, due to the depreciation of the Argentine peso observed during Q2 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, where there was an appreciation of the Argentine peso. On the other hand, higher negative interests for Ps 6.0 billion were recorded product of higher average indebtedness, measured in pesos, compared to the same period. Lastly, in Q2 2020 there were higher positive charges for other financial results for Ps 10.3 billion and greater negative charges for financial updates for Ps 0.5 billion.

Income tax expense during Q2 2020 amounted to a gain of Ps 0.9 billion, compared to a gain of Ps 3.0 billion for Q2 2019.

Net income for Q2 2020 before the asset impairment charge was a loss of Ps 42.0 billion, compared to the net income loss of Ps 2.3 billion in Q2 2019. Considering the asset impairment charge of Ps 57.4 billion (Ps 43.1 billion net of taxes) during Q2 2020, the net income was negative in Ps 85.0 billion, compared to the net income reported of Ps 2.3 billion in Q2 2019.

Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment in Q2 2020 were Ps 11.0 billion, a 72.4% decrease compared to the capital expenditures made during Q2 2019.

In Q2 2020, the Upstream business segment before the asset impairment charge, recorded an operating loss of Ps 16.5 billion, compared to a gain of Ps 4.2 billion in Q2 2019. Considering the asset impairment charge of Ps 57.3 billion, the operating loss for this segment in Q2 2020 was Ps 73.8 billion.

Revenues were Ps 54.1 billion for Q2 2020, a decrease of 26.9% compared to Q2 2019, primarily due to the following factors:

 

 

 

Crude oil revenues amounted to Ps 35.9 billion, a decrease of 33.1% or Ps 17.8 billion compared to Ps 53.7 billion in Q2 2019 as the intersegment price of oil decreased by approximately 24.2% measured in Argentine pesos. The average realization price for crude oil in dollars during Q2 2020 decreased by 50.8% to US$ 28.9/bbl. Crude oil volume transferred between segments decreased 9.0%;

 

 

 

Natural gas revenues reached Ps 18.5 billion, 16.5% or Ps 3.6 billion lower than the Ps 22.1 billion in Q2 2019 as a result of a 7.7% decrease in the average price in pesos. The average realization price for the quarter in dollars was US$2.51/Mmbtu, 36.1% lower than in Q2 2019. Moreover, volumes sold between segments decreased by 9.1% compared to Q2 2019.

Total hydrocarbon production for Q2 2020 was 466.8 Kboed, 9.5% lower than Q2 2019. These variations were mainly affected by the mandatory lockdown measures put in place by the government authorities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic during Q2 2020, as mentioned above. Crude oil production declined 10.3%, resulting in 200.8 Kbbld, being affected mainly by the lockdown. The production of natural gas decreased 12.7% compared to the same period of 2019, reaching 35.0 Mm3d, driven by the natural decline of the fields due to the decrease in activity negatively affected by a context of excess supply and lower demand. In turn, NGL production increased 16.2% to 45.7 Kbbld given that Q2 2019 was primarily affected by the losses from the general power cut in Argentina in June 2019 along with the fire in 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 2020, no wells operated by YPF have been put into production. Regarding the non-operated activity, 3 new wells have been put into production, two conventional wells and one shale well.

During Q2 2020, in the shale areas, YPF’s net hydrocarbon production reached 98.9 Kboed, of which 73.5% comes from YPF’s operated areas. This level of production represents an increase of 20.7% compared to Q2 2019. This production is comprised of 35.8 Kbbld of crude oil, 14.1 Kbbld of NGL and 7.8 Mm3d of natural gas. At the end of Q2 2020 there are a total of 856 active wells, of which 91 are not operated. In addition, there are 13 drilling rigs and 5 workovers on stand-by since the beginning of the lockdown period.

With respect to tight development, net production in Q2 2020 reached a total of 8.4 Mm3d of natural gas, 4.2 Kbbld of NGL and 4.2 Kbbld of crude oil, of which 85.1% comes from YPF´s operated areas.

Operating costs (excluding exploration expenses) for Q2 2020 totaled Ps 78.3 billion, a 14.3% increase compared to Q2 2019, of which we highlight the following:

 

 

 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounted to Ps 32.1 billion in Q2 2020 compared to Ps 27.9 billion in Q2 2019, representing an increase of Ps 4.2 billion, or 15.2%, 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 Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 27.0 billion, an increase of Ps 1.9 billion or 7.4% compared to Ps 25.1 billion in Q2 2019. In turn, the increase in the unit indicator, measured in Argentine pesos, was 18.7%, below the general increase in prices of the economy affected by less activity as a result of the decrease in fuel demand and by consequent adjustments in the production level, in addition to the security protocols established in each operation;

 

 

 

Royalties and other production related costs in Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 7.2 billion, which represents a decrease of Ps 3.2 billion, or 30.5%, compared to Ps 10.4 billion in Q2 2019. Of this decrease, Ps 2.2 billion, or 29.0% was related to royalties in connection with crude oil production, and Ps 1.0 billion, or 34.3% was related to royalties for natural gas production, in both cases due to lower production and to lower wellhead values of these products measured in Argentine pesos;

 

 

 

Transportation costs related to production (trucks, pipelines and polyducts in deposit) for Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 3.1 billion, an increase of Ps 1.0 billion, or 50.9%, compared to Ps 2.1 billion for Q2 2019 due to higher tariffs measured in Argentine pesos;

 

 

 

Expenses related to equipment and services shutdown (stand-by) reached Ps 4.2 billion, from Ps 0.3 billion in Q2 20219, which represents an increase of Ps 3.9 billion, mainly as a result of the health crisis in the country that stopped the execution of projects in order to guarantee the safety of the personnel involved and having a level of production according to the market needs.

Exploration expenses for Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 0.1 billion, a decrease of 87.1% compared to Ps 1.0 billion for Q2 2019, mainly due to lower negative results from unproductive exploratory drilling during the quarter in a differential amount of Ps 0.4 billion.

During Q2 2020, the Company recognized a non-recurring charge for deterioration of property, plant and equipment of Ps 57.3 billion mainly for the CGU Gas - Neuquén Basin of Ps 49.2 billion (net effect of the tax on profits of Ps 36.9 billion) and CGU Gas - Austral Basin of Ps 8.1 billion (net effect of income tax of Ps 6.1 billion) mainly based on an expected reduction in gas prices due to the situation that this market is facing both globally and locally, due to specific dynamics mentioned above. 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. Said charge has not affected the Company’s cash generation.

Other operating results, net, for Q2 2020 represented a gain of Ps 7.9 billion, compared to Q2 2019. This variation is mainly explained by the sale of 11% of YPF’s stake in the Bandurria Sur area to Bandurria Sur Investments S.A. (BSI), a company whose share package is composed 50% by Shell Argentina S.A. and 50% by Equinor Argentina S.A., for Ps 4.4 billion. Additionally, in Q2 2020, a result is included in relation to an insurance for the uncontrolled-wells incident occurred in the areas of Bandurria Sur and Loma La Lata, which amounts to Ps 2.7 billion, and as of date is pending collection.

Unit operating cash costs in U.S. dollars decreased 23.6% to US$ 15.5/boe in Q2 2020 from US$ 20.3/boe in Q2 2019, including taxes of US$ 2.9/boe and US$ 5.8/boe, respectively. In turn, the average lifting cost for YPF in Q2 2020 was US$ 9.4/boe, 23.9% lower than Q2 2019.

Capital expenditures for the Upstream business segment for Q2 2020 were Ps 7.0 billion, a 78.0% decrease compared to Q2 2019. Of these capital expenditures, 47.5% were invested in drilling and workover activities, 51.2% in facilities and the remaining 1.3% in exploration and other activities in the Upstream business segment.

Investment activity throughout Q2 2020 was affected by the lockdown decree enacted by the national government due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a consequence, at the end of March, the drilling and workover equipment and engineering works were halted, entering only minor charges.

In Q2 2020 there was no exploration activity due to DNU 297/2020 establishing the preventive and mandatory lockdown and social distancing measures.

Operating income for the Downstream business segment for Q2 2020 was a gain of Ps 0.2 billion, compared to the gain of Ps 1.3 billion recorded in Q2 2019.

Revenues were Ps 104.9 billion in Q2 2020, representing a 16.1% decrease compared to Ps 125.1 billion in Q2 2019, primarily due to the following factors. These variations were affected by the mandatory lockdown implemented in Q2 2020 as mentioned above:

 

 

 

Diesel revenues in Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 49.3 billion, which represents a reduction of Ps 4.3 billion, or 8.0%, compared to those of Q2 2019, due to lower total volumes shipped of nearly 20.3%, partially offset by an increase of 15.5% in the average price obtained for the diesel mix in Argentine pesos, while in the market there was a decrease of this product of approximately 18.6%. Additionally, the volume of Infinia Diesel (premium diesel) sold decreased by 30.1%;

 

 

 

Gasoline revenues in Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 17.9 billion, which represents a decrease of Ps 14.5 billion, or 44.6% compared to those of Q2 2019, due to lower total volumes shipped of nearly 54.1%, partially offset by an increase of 20.5% in the average price obtained for the gasoline mix in Argentine pesos, while in the market there was a decrease for this product of approximately 50.7%. Additionally, during the quarter there was a 58.2% reduction in the volumes of Infinia Gasoline (premium gasoline) sold;

 

 

 

Other sales in the domestic market for Q2 2020 totaled Ps 18.4 billion, representing a decrease of Ps 0.3 billion or 1.6% compared to Q2 2019. We highlight the reduction in sales of jet fuel by 88.0%, lower sales of asphalts by 68.2%, lower sales of petrochemicals by 27.7%, in all these cases mainly due to lower volumes sold of these products. This effect was offset by higher sales of flours and grains by 181.1% and of fertilizers by 139.4%;

Export revenues in the Downstream segment during Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 19.3 billion, representing a decrease of Ps 1.1 billion, or 5.5%, compared to such exports in Q2 2019. We highlight lower sales of jet fuel by Ps 5.6 billion or 94.0%, driven by a decrease of 93.4% in volumes sold, and a 9.0% decrease in prices, as well as lower sales of petrochemicals by Ps 0.9 billion. Additionally, flours and soybean oil exports had an increase of Ps 3.6 billion or 68.1% compared to Q2 2019, motivated by an increase of 52.6% in the prices obtained measured in Argentine pesos and an increase of 10.2% in volumes sold. There were higher exports of virgin naphtha by Ps 0.9 billion, of crude oil by Ps 0.6 billion and of diesel by Ps 80 million.

Cost of sales and operating expenses for Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 90.4 billion representing a reduction of Ps 22.4 billion, or 19.9%, compared to Q2 2019, with the following highlights:

 

 

 

Crude oil purchases in Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 36.8 billion, a Ps 27.8 billion or 43.0% decrease compared to Ps 64.6 billion in Q2 2019. A 26.2% decrease in the prices of crude oil expressed in Argentine pesos was observed, mainly due to the decrease in the price of international and national crudes. In turn, crude oil volumes purchased from third parties reduced by 79.6%, while the volume of crude oil transferred from the Upstream segment decreased by 9.0%;

 

 

 

Biofuel purchases (biodiesel and bioethanol) for the Q2 2020 period amounted to Ps 5.1 billion, representing a reduction of Ps 2.5 billion, or 32.5% with respect to Q2 2020, mainly due to a decrease of 51.5% and 57.2% in the volumes acquired of biodiesel and bioethanol respectively; partially offset by higher prices of biodiesel by 50.9% and bioethanol by 40.6%;

 

 

 

Grain receipts in the agricultural sales segment through the form of barter, which were recorded as purchases, amounted to Ps 9.2 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 3.4 billion, or 59.0%, from Ps 5.8 billion in Q2 2019. This is due to a 41.0% increase in the average price and 12.8% in the volumes received;

 

 

 

In Q2 2020, a negative stock variation of Ps 3.2 billion was recorded in this segment compared to the positive stock variation of Ps 2.0 billion in Q2 2019, mainly due to the decrease in the crude price in Q2 2020 (at the applicable transfer price);

 

 

 

Regarding production costs, refining costs for Q2 2020 totaled Ps 5.9 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 0.2 billion, or 3.2%, compared to Ps 5.7 billion in Q2 2019. This increase was mainly driven by higher consumption of electricity and other supplies, higher charges for services; partially offset by lower repair and maintenance charges and for consumption of materials and spare parts;

 

 

 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment in Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 6.4 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 2.5 billion, or 63.3%, 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 considering that the Company´s functional currency is the U.S. dollar;

Transport costs linked to production (shipping, oil pipelines and polyducts) for Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 2.4 billion, which represents a decrease of Ps 0.1 billion, or 5.1% compared to Ps 2.5 billion in Q2 2019 driven mainly by lower activity product of the lockdown measures put in place.

Selling expenses in Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 14.0 billion, representing an increase of Ps 3.5 billion, or 33.6%, compared to Ps 10.5 billion in Q2 2019. This rise was mainly driven by higher charges on taxes, fees and contributions, mainly due to the increase in exports withholdings, higher charges on depreciation of fixed assets and higher personnel expenses, higher provisions for doubtful trade receivables, higher contracts for works and other services, among others.

The volume of crude oil processed in Q2 2020 was 191.7 Kbbld, 27.1% lower compared to Q2 2019 mainly due to the lockdown in Q2 2020 that had a decrease in demand for refined products and consequently less crude processed associated. With these levels of processing, there was a lower production of Diesel (-14.0%) and a lower production of Gasoline (-47.0%). 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 compared to Q2 2019.

CAPEX

Capital expenditures for Q2 2020 were Ps 2.5 billion, 58.5% lower compared to Q2 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic framed in the mandatory lockdown dictated by the national government, there was an important decrease in activity. The impact reached different levels in each region, since some were able to quickly return to activity due to a decrease in infections; while others, such as in the province of Buenos Aires where a large part of the Downstream investments are focused, continue with most of the projects paralyzed.

Despite this context, engineering developments continue for the new diesel and gasoline hydrotreating units to be carried out in the three refineries to comply with the new fuel specifications. This will allow to reach the specifications set in Resolution 576/2019 of the Ministry of Treasury that will become effective in 2024. In the Luján de Cuyo Refinery, based on the flexibility of the lockdown established in the province of Mendoza, works to revamp the MTBE Unit to ETBE were restarted, so that during the second half of 2021, ethanol can be incorporated directly into the blending of gasolines.

In the refining, logistics and dispatch facilities for petroleum products, essential investments continued to be made to maintain safety conditions for people and the environment, while taking all necessary precautions to minimize the risk of COVID-19 spread.

In Q2 2020, the Gas and Energy business segment before the asset impairment charge, reported an operating loss of Ps 8.7 billion during Q2 2020 compared to an operating gain of Ps 1.9 billion during Q2 2019. Considering the asset impairment charge of Ps 62 million, the negative operating income for this segment for Q2 2020 was 8.8 billion.

The revenues of the segment during Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 30.3 billion, representing a decrease of 11.5% compared to Q2 2019, of which we highlight the following:

 

 

 

Sales of natural gas as producers in the local market and abroad decreased by Ps 3.6 billion, or 16.2% to Ps 18.5 billion from Ps 22.1 billion in Q2 2019, as a consequence of a decrease in the average price of natural gas of 5.5% (in Argentine pesos) and a 11.3% decrease in the volumes sold. This decrease is mainly explained by a lower demand due to the implemented lockdown measures that was greater than the reduction in supply in the market which caused greater price competition. This was evidenced in power plant auctions and sales to industries;

 

 

 

Sales of natural gas to the retail segment (residential customers and small industries) and through its marketing to large customers (power plants and industries) decreased by Ps 2.8 billion, or 28.9%, to Ps 6.9 billion from Ps 9.7 billion in Q2 2019. This effect was due to the fact that our controlled company Metrogas S.A. obtained lower volumes of gas sold by 28.6% through its distribution network;

 

 

 

The Tango FLNG unit operation started in 2019, a floating natural gas liquefaction facility, whose revenues totaled Ps 0.7 billion during Q2 2020, compared to Ps 63 million in Q2 2019.

Total operating costs for Q2 2020 amounted to Ps 39.0 billion representing an increase of 22.3%, compared to Ps 31.9 billion in Q2 2019, primarily due to the following factors:

 

 

 

Purchases of natural gas amounted to Ps 18.8 billion, decreasing by Ps 3.4 billion or 15.4% from Ps 22.2 billion in Q2 2019, driven by a 7.4% decrease in prices, measured in Argentine pesos, and an 8.7% of lower volumes acquired. In addition, volume purchased from third parties increased by 24.7%, while volumes transferred from the Upstream segment decreased by 9.1%;

 

 

 

Purchases of natural gas from other producers for resale in the retail distribution segment (residential customers and small businesses) and from its marketing to large customers (power plants and industries) in Q2 2020 amounted Ps 4.2 billion, which represents a decrease of Ps 1.0 billion, or 20.3%, from Ps 5.2 billion in Q2 2019, mainly driven by a reduction in prices and volumes purchased;

In the current period, a credit impairment charge has been registered with Distributors, associated with accumulated daily differences according to Decree No. 1053/2018, which amounts Ps 8.0  billion.

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 2020 was a loss of Ps 6.8 billion, compared to a loss of Ps 2.7 billion in Q2 2019. In the current quarter, there were lower revenues from our controlled company A-Evangelista S.A. driven by the lower activity from the implemented lockdown measures. Additionally, there were higher charges in personnel expenses mainly due to wages adjustments in the second semester of 2019, higher IT costs on computer licenses, many of which are denominated in U.S. dollars, together with higher charges for depreciation of fixed assets.

Consolidation adjustments to eliminate results among business segments not transferred to third parties were negative Ps 4.3 billion for Q2 2020 compared to positive Ps 2.5 billion for Q2 2019. In the current quarter, the gap between the transfer prices between businesses and the replacement cost of the Company’s inventories increased, while in Q2 2019 decreased. In both cases, the movement of transfer prices reflects changes in market prices, especially of crude oil.

4. LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

In Q2 2020, net cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to Ps 33.6 billion, which represents a 17.4% decrease compared to Q2 2019. This Ps 7.1 billion negative variation was mainly due to a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, partially offsetting by a decrease in working capital variations that includes, among others, the collection of three installments of “Plan Gas Bonds”.

Net cash flows used in investing activities were Ps 3.3 billion for Q2 2020, 93.1% lower than in Q2 2019 which represents a negative variation of Ps 44.7 billion. Investments in fixed and intangible assets were Ps 19.3 billion in Q2 2020, 55.8% lower than in Q2 2019 given that Q2 2020 was entirely affected by the preventive and lockdown measures. Besides, there were higher collections of financial assets, net of Ps 8.5 billion and higher collections for assignment of participation in areas by Ps 7.5 billion related to the sale of the 11% stake in the Bandurria Sur area and the transfer of 50% of the participation and operation of the offshore area CAN_100. Moreover, in Q2 2020, there were lower contributions and acquisitions of interests in companies and joint ventures by Ps 4.7 billion.

Because of its financing activities, in Q2 2020 the Company had a net decrease in funds of Ps 19.6 billion, compared to a net increase of Ps 6.6 billion in Q2 2019. This difference was mainly driven by a net decrease in debt of Ps 20.1 billion, by a higher interest payment of Ps 5.2 billion and by a higher leasing payment of Ps 1.1 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 91.7 billion(1) as of June 30, 2020.

Total debt in U.S. dollars was US$ 8.7 billion, and net debt was US$ 7.4 billion(2) with a Net debt / Adjusted EBITDA LTM ratio of 2.94x(2).

The average interest rate for debt denominated in Argentine pesos at the end of Q2 2020 was 30.9%, while the average interest rate for debt denominated in U.S. dollars was 7.5%.

YPF negotiable obligations issued during Q2 2020 are detailed below:
