<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Post-debt exchange, YPF&#146;s cost of debt has eased in 2021 and 2022, freeing up capital for the company to invest in production and recover volumes.
</B>Although we expect volumes to grow gradually, we think it will take YPF at least three years to return to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-pandemic</FONT> oil and gas production levels. Assuming international oil prices are hovering near
US$50 per barrel (bbl) and prices for natural gas are below $3.5 per million British thermal units (MMBTUs), we think the company will struggle to generate free cash flow, even assuming domestic prices are fully pegged to import parity. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>YPF has a challenging capital spending program in upcoming years that would keep leverage relatively high. </B>The company&#146;s capex guidance for 2021
is about $2.7&nbsp;billion, and we expect it to stay between $2.3&nbsp;billion and $2.5&nbsp;billion afterward. However, we believe those levels are ambitious and could be sustained only if oil and gas prices are significantly higher than what we
currently assume, with record export levels and/or asset sales. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In that context, YPF&#146;s leverage is likely to remain at or slightly above 3x for the
next two years and its financial flexibility will be pressured while the company adapts its investments or seeks additional capital resources. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

company could take advantage of by increasing exports or from a faster <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pick-up</FONT> of the Argentine economy and overall fuel demand, and less so from lower operating costs because YPF already achieved significant
cost reductions in 2020. Although we assume lower capital expenditures (capex) for 2021 than the company&#146;s guidance, we believe the company would need to bridge a cash flow deficit, likely using domestic bond issuances or asset sales. </P>
