FINANCIAL REPORT

 

Rio de Janeiro

August 3rd, 2018

1H-2018 Results*:

Derived from unaudited consolidated interim financial information reviewed by independent auditors, stated in millions of U.S. dollars, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB.

The main functional currency of the Petrobras Group is the Brazilian Real, which is the functional currency of the parent company and its Brazilian subsidiaries, and the presentation currency of the Petrobras Group is the U.S. dollar. Therefore, financial records are maintained in Brazilian reais and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates prevailing during the period, as set out in IAS 21 – “The effects of foreign exchanges rates”.

When the Brazilian real appreciates relative to the U.S. dollar, the effect is to generally increase both revenues and expenses when expressed in U.S. dollars. When the Brazilian real depreciates relative to the U.S. dollar, the effect is to generally decrease revenues and expenses when expressed in U.S. dollars. In 1H-2018, the average Brazilian real depreciated by 8% in relation to U.S. dollar when compared to 1H-2017. The foreign translation effects on the Company’s results are shown in item VII - Foreign exchange translation effects on results of operations in 1H-2017.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was US$ 17,025 million in 1H-2018, a 20% increase compared to US$ 14,205 million in 1H-2017, mainly due to higher margins of oil exports, as a result of the increase in Brent prices, and to higher margin in the domestic sales of oil products. On the other hand, exports and domestic sales volumes of oil products dropped (mainly naphtha and gasoline). Gross Margin** was 37% in 1H-2018, versus 33% in 1H-2017.

Operating income and expenses

Operating income was US$ 10,114 million in 1H-2018, a 10% increase from US$ 9,196 million in 1H-2017 mainly due to the rise in gross profit, being negatively impacted by higher sale expenses, derived from the payment of tariffs to the third-party gas pipeline company Nova Transportadora do Sudeste S.A. (NTS), which used to be a subsidiary before the sale in 2Q-2017, by the losses with the fair value adjustment of the put option acquired to hedge the price of part of the oil production, by the foreign exchange losses on Class Action outstanding balance and by lower gains with divestments, when compared to 1H-2017. On the other hand, there was a decrease in tax expenses.

Net Finance Income (Expense)

The net finance expense was US$ 2,969 in 1H-2018 million, a 43% decrease compared to US$ 5,212 million in 1H-2017 as a result of lower financing expenses, due to prepayment of debt and of the renegotiation of debts with Eletrobras System.

Net income (loss) attributable to the shareholders of Petrobras

Net income attributable to the shareholders of Petrobras was US$ 4,939 million in 1H-2018, a 226% increase compared to US$ 1,513 million in 1H-2017. The result improved mainly due to increase in domestic oil products and oil exports margins and to the drop in net finance expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA**

Adjusted EBITDA increased to US$ 16,285 million in 1H-2018, from US$ 13,964 million in 1H-2017. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin** reached 35% in 1H-2018 compared to 33% in 1H-2017.

Net cash provided by operating activities and Free Cash Flow **

Free cash flow was US$ 8,546 million in 1H-2018, an increase of 19% when compared to US$ 7,157 million in 1H-2017.

II. Results of Operations of 1H-2018  compared to 1H-2017

The main functional currency of the Petrobras Group is the Brazilian real, which is the functional currency of the parent company and its Brazilian subsidiaries. As the presentation currency of the Petrobras Group is the U.S. dollar, the results of operations in Brazilian reais are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates prevailing during the period, as set out in IAS 21 – “The effects of foreign exchanges rates”. For detailed information about foreign exchange translation effects on the Company’s income statement, see item VII “Foreign exchange translation effects on results of operations of 1H-2018”.

Sales revenues were US$ 46,365 million in 1H-2018, a  9% increase (US$ 3,805 million) when compared to US$ 42,560 million in 1H-2017, mainly due to:

Higher export revenues (US$ 1,404 million), driven by increase in international prices of crude oil and oil products, partially offset by the decrease in crude oil volume exported;

 

Higher domestic revenues (US$ 1,523 million), mainly as a result of:

 

Higher oil products revenues (US$ 2,004 million), mainly reflecting an increase in average realization prices of diesel, gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas in accordance with their price policies, as well as higher prices of other oil products following the increase in international prices. These effects were partially offset by the decrease in oil products sales volume, mainly for gasoline due to a higher portion of ethanol in fuel market, as well as lower sales of naphtha to Braskem;

 

Higher revenues of natural gas (US$ 258 million), due to increase in prices; and

 

Decreased electricity revenues when expressed in U.S. dollars (US$ 367 million), following lower prices.

 

Higher revenues from operations abroad (US$ 878 million) following higher international prices.

Cost of sales was US$ 29,340 million in 1H-2018, a 3% increase (US$ 985 million) compared to US$  28,355 million in 1H-2017, mainly due to:

Foreign exchange translation effects which decreased the average cost of sales when expressed in U.S. dollars, reflecting the depreciation of the average Brazilian real;

Higher production taxes expenses and crude oil import costs, due to higher international prices;

Increased costs from operations abroad, following higher international prices; and

Lower oil products import costs, mainly for naphtha and gasoline, as a result of lower sales volume in the domestic market.

 

Selling expenses were US$ 2,590  million in 1H-2018, a 32%  increase (US$ 621  million) compared to US$ 1,969 million in 1H-2017, mainly due to:

 

Higher transportation charges, due to the payment of tariffs for the use of third parties gas pipelines, following the sale of Nova Transportadora do Sudeste (NTS) in  April 2017; and

The increased impairment of trade and other receivables, primarily relating to companies from the electricity sector.

General and administrative expenses were US$ 1,272 million in 1H-2018, a  11% decrease (US$ 152  million) compared to US$ 1,424  million in 1H-2017, mainly due to lower expenses with outsourced administrative services.

Exploration costs were US$ 298 million in 1H-2018, a 6% increase (US$ 17 million) compared to US$ 281 million in 1H-2017, mainly due to higher provisions related to contractual penalties of local content requirements (US$ 60 million), partially offset by lower exploration expenditures as dry hole (US$ 36 million).

 

Other taxes were US$ 248 million in 1H-2018, a US$ 798 million decrease compared to US$ 1,046 million in 1H-2017, mainly as a result of the Company’s decision, in  2Q-2017, to benefit from the Tax Settlement Programs (US$ 714 million) and from the State Tax Amnesty Program (US$ 40 million).

Other income and expenses totaled US$ 2,186 million in expenses in 1H-2018, a US$ 2,175 million increase compared to the US$ 11 million in expenses in 1H-2017, mainly due to:

Lower net gain on the sale and write-off of assets of US$ 1,077 million, mainly driven by the US$ 1,952 million gain on sale of interests in NTS recognized in 1H-2017, partially offset by the gains, in 1H-2018, on sale of Lapa and Iara fields (US$ 689 million) and by the contingent payment received for the disposal of Carcará (US$ 300 million);

Lower fair value of commodities put options related to the hedge of part of crude oil production (US$ 564 million);

Higher losses on legal proceedings (US$ 476 million), mainly impacted by foreign exchange losses over the Class Action net provision (US$ 441 million); and

Lower unscheduled stoppages and pre-operating expenses (US$ 297 million), mainly from equipment idleness.

 

Net finance expense (income) was US$ 2,969 million in 1H-2018, a 43% decrease (US$ 2,243 million) when compared to US$ 5,212 million in 1H-2017, mainly due to:

 

Lower net finance expenses (US$ 1,729 million), mainly due to:

 

(i)

Gains arising from the renegotiation of debts from Eletrobras Group (US$ 580 million);

 

(ii)

Finance charges due to the Company’s decision to benefit from the Tax Settlement Programs (Programas de Regularização de Tributos Federais) in the 1H-2017 (US$ 520 million); and

 

(iii)

Lower interest expenses, due to pre-payment of debts.

 

Lower foreign exchange and inflation indexation charges (US$ 514 million) generated by:

 

(i)

Foreign exchange gains of US$ 24 million driven by the impact of a 2.7% appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro on the Company’s net debt in 1H-2018, compared to the foreign exchange losses of US$ 458 million driven by the impact of a 8.2% depreciation on the Company’s net debt in Euro in 1H-2017 (US$ 482 million);

 

(ii)

Higher depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollars on the Company’s net positive exposure, compared to the 1H-2017 (US$ 236 million);

 

(iii)

Foreign exchange losses of US$ 30 million driven by the impact of a 2.4% appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Pound Sterling over the net positive exposure in Pound Sterling in 1H-2018, compared to the foreign exchange losses of US$ 56 million due to the 4.9%  depreciation on the net debt in 1H-2017 (US$ 26  million);

 

(iv)

Lower negative exposure in Brazilian reais compared to the Euro generated foreign exchange gain of US$ 16 million;

 

(v)

Higher recycling of foreign exchange losses from equity to net income due to occurred exports designated for cash flow hedge accounting (US$ 99 million); and

 

(vi)

Higher expenses from other inflation indexation charges and foreign exchange losses (US$ 147 million).

 

Positive results in equity-accounted investments of US$ 244 million in 1H-2018, a 37% decrease (US$ 142 million) compared to US$ 386 million in 1H-2017, mainly due to lower results in associates of the petrochemical sector.

Income taxes expenses were US$ 2,505 million in 1H-2018, a 9% decrease (US$ 246 million) compared to US$ 2,751 million in 1H-2017, as a result of the Company’s decision, in the 2Q-2017, to benefit from the Tax Settlement Programs (Programas de Regularização de Tributos Federais), offset by higher taxable income of the period. For more information about income taxes expenses, see Note 19.6 to the Company´s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Loss related to non-controlling interests were US$ 55 million in 1H-2018, a US$ 161 million decrease compared to the US$ 106 million gain in 1H-2017, mainly reflecting the impact of the foreign exchange depreciation of the Brazilian real on debt of structured entities in U.S. dollars, partially offset by the positive result of BR Distribuidora, which has not been a wholly-owned subsidiary since December 2017.

a) EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION (E&P)

 

 

1H-2018 x 1H-2017

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit rose due to higher oil prices, partially offset by the reduction of production and increase in production taxes.

 

Operating income and expense

 

Operating income was higher due to increase in gross profit and to gains with the sale of Exploration & Production assets (Lapa, Iara and Carcará) as well as to the lower equipment idleness .

 

Operating Performance

 

Production

Crude oil, NGL and natural gas production reduced, mainly due to the sale of Lapa and Roncador fields, the natural decline of the production, the end of the Extended Well Test of Itapu field on Santos Basin and the production stoppage in Hadrian South field, in the U.S..

 

Lifting Cost

 

Lifting cost increased mainly as a result of the drop in production and well interventions.

Additionally, higher production taxes were caused by rise in oil prices.

1H-2018 x 1H-2017

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit had a slight increase due to foreign exchange translation effects and to higher sales margins of oil products as a consequence of the stock realization at lower prices. On the other hand, there was lower sales volumes.

 

Operating Income and expense

 

Operating income increased due to the higher gross profit.

 

Operating Performance

 

Imports and Exports of Crude Oil and Oil Products

 

Net crude oil exports decreased as a result of reduction in production.

Net oil products exports were due to loss of gasoline market share to the ethanol and reduction in naphtha sales to Braskem.  

 

Refining Operations

 

Processed feedstock was lower, mainly due to loss of gasoline market share to the ethanol.

 

Refining Cost

 

Refining cost dropped mainly reflecting cost efficiencies.

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased due to growth of natural gas prices.

 

Operating income and expense

 

Operating income decreased due to higher selling expenses resulting from the payment of tariffs for the use of gas pipelines, to the provision for expected credit losses in the gas supply to the thermoelectric segment in the North region, as well as to the gain with the sale of Company’s interest in NTS in the 2Q17.

 

Operating Performance

 

Physical and Financial Indicators

 

Increased imports of Bolivian natural gas and LNG due to lower domestic gas availability.

There was an increase in electricity sales in the Free Contracting Environment (ACL) due to short-term market opportunities. The volume reduction in the Regulated Contracting Environment (RCA) is due to the termination of contracts with the thermoelectric plants.

The volume of energy generation showed a small drop as a result of a higher acquisition cost of the gas.

Gross Profit

 

The decrease in gross profit was due to the foreign exchange translation effects. In Brazilian reais gross profit increased due to higher sales margins, partially offset by lower volumes.

 

Operating income and expense

 

The decrease in operating income reflected the provisioning for expenses with the resuming of voluntary separation plan in 2018, compared to the reversions in 2017 of provisions made in 2016, related to employees that quit the program.

As of June 30, 2018, the balance of cash and cash equivalents was US$ 16,997 million and the balance of adjusted cash and cash equivalents was US$ 18,050 million. The resources from cash provided by operating activities of US$ 13,948 million, proceeds from financing of US$ 8,149 million, proceeds from divestments of US$ 4,914 million were used for repayment of financing (and interest payments) and for capital expenditures.

Net cash provided by operating activities remained stable at US$ 13,948 million, as a result of higher margins of oil and oil products, offset by the decrease in volume and by foreign exchange translation effects.

Acquisition of PP&E and intangibles assets, investments in investees and dividends received totaled US$ 5,402 million in 1H-2018 (89% in E&P business segment), a reduction of 15%.

The above mentioned factors led to an increase of 19% in Free cash flow, which totaled US$ 8,546 million in 1H-2018.

From January to June 2018, proceeds from financing amounted to US$ 8,149 million, with highlights to: (i) Global notes issued in international capital markets in the amount of US$ 1,962 million, with maturities at 2029; (ii) funds raised from the domestic and international banking market, with approximately 6.5 years average terms, in the total amount of US$ 5,120 million and (iii) funds raised with export credit agencies in the amount of US$ 984 million.

In addition, the Company paid debts (principal and interest) in the total amount of US$ 27,072 million, mainly attributable to: (i) repurchase of US$ 11,760 million of Petrobras’s existing series of global notes with maturities between 2019 and 2043, with net premium paid to bond holders amounting to US$ 362 million; (ii) pre-payment of banking loans in the amount of US$ 9,454 million with national and international banks; and (iii) pre-payment of debt with BNDES (US$ 687 million).

Repayments of principal and interest totaled US$ 27,072 million in 1H-2018 and the nominal cash flow (cash view), including principal and interest payments, by maturity, is set out in US$ million, below:

VI. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

 

LTM Adjusted EBITDA reflects the sum of the last twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA and represents an alternative measure to our net cash provided by operating activities and is computed by using the EBITDA (net income before net finance income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization) adjusted by items not considered as part of Company’s primary business, which include results in equity-accounted investments, impairment, cumulative foreign exchange adjustments reclassified to the income statement and results from disposal and write-offs of assets.

In calculating Adjusted EBITDA for 1H-2018, we adjusted our EBITDA for the period by adding foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from provisions for legal proceedings denominated in foreign currencies. Legal provisions in foreign currencies primarily consist Petrobras’s portion of the class action settlement provision created in December 2017. The foreign exchange gains or losses on legal provisions are presented in other income and expenses for accounting purposes but management does not consider them to be part of the Company’s primary business, as well as they are substantially similar to the foreign exchange effects presented within net finance income. No adjustments have been made to the comparative measures presented as amounts were not significant in these periods.

This measure is used to calculate the metric Net Debt/ LTM Adjusted EBITDA, which is established in the business plan 2018-2022, to support management’s assessment of liquidity and leverage.

The Adjusted EBITDA is an alternative performance measure of the Company. This measure is being presented as a supplementary information to the users.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and LTM Adjusted EBITDA are not defined in the International Financial Reporting Standards – IFRS. Our calculation may not be comparable to the calculation by other companies and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. These measures must be considered together with other measures and indicators for a better understanding of the Company's financial conditions.

VII. Foreign exchange translation effects on results of operations of 1H-2018

The main functional currency of the Petrobras Group is the Brazilian real, which is the functional currency of the parent company and its Brazilian subsidiaries. However, the presentation currency of this financial report is the U.S. Dollar to facilitate the comparison with other oil and gas companies. Therefore, the results of operations in Brazilian real were translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates prevailing during the period, as set out in IAS 21 – “The effects of foreign exchanges rates”.

When the Brazilian real appreciates against the U.S. dollar, the effect is to generally increase both revenues and expenses when expressed in U.S. dollars. When the Brazilian real depreciates against the U.S. dollar, as it did in 1H-2018, the effect is to generally decrease both revenues and expenses when expressed in U.S. dollars.

In order to isolate the foreign exchange translation effect on results of operations, the table below presents a reconciliation of income statement to financial information on a constant currency basis, assuming the same exchange rates between each quarter for translation. In 2018, the results on a constant currency basis were computed by converting the 1Q-2018 and 2Q-2018 results from Brazilian real into U.S. dollars based on the same average exchange rates used in 1Q-2017 and 2Q-2017 (3.1451 and 3.2174, respectively).

The amounts and respective variations presented in constant currency are not measures defined in the International Financial Reporting Standards – IFRS. Our calculation may not be comparable to the calculation of other companies and it should not be considered as a substitute for any measure calculated in accordance with IFRS.

X – Glossary

ACL Ambiente de Contratação Livre (Free contracting market) in the electricity system.

ACR Ambiente de Contratação Regulada (Regulated contracting market) in the electricity system.

Adjusted cash and cash equivalents Sum of cash and cash equivalents, government bonds and time deposits from highly rated financial institutions abroad with maturities of more than 3 months from the date of acquisition, considering the expected realization of those financial investments in the short-term. This measure is not defined under the International Financial Reporting Standards – IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash and cash equivalents computed in accordance with IFRS. It may not be comparable to adjusted cash and cash equivalents of other companies, however management believes that it is an appropriate supplemental measure to assess our liquidity and supports leverage management.

Adjusted EBITDA – Net income plus net finance income (expense); income taxes; depreciation, depletion and amortization; results in equity-accounted investments; impairment, cumulative translation adjustment, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from provisions for legal proceedings denominated in foreign currencies and gains/losses on disposal/write-offs of assets. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined by IFRS and it is possible that it may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies, however management believes that it is an appropriate supplemental measure to assess our profitability. Adjusted EBITDA shall be considered in conjunction with other metrics for a better understanding on our performance.

Adjusted EBITDA margin – Adjusted EBITDA divided by sales revenues.

ANP Brazilian National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency.

Basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share - Calculated based on the weighted average number of shares.

Capital Expenditures – Capital expenditures based on the cost assumptions and financial methodology adopted in our Business and Management Plan, which include acquisition of PP&E and intangibles assets, investment in investees and other items that do not necessarily qualify as cash flows used in investing activities, primarily geological and geophysical expenses, research and development expenses, pre-operating charges, purchase of property, plant and equipment on credit and borrowing costs directly attributable to works in progress.

Consolidated Structured Entities Entities that have been designated so that voting or similar rights are not the determining factor that decides who controls the entity. Petrobras has no share of earnings in investments in certain structured entities that are consolidated in the financial statements, but the control is determined by the power it has over its relevant operating activities. As there are no interests, the result came from certain consolidated structured entities is attributable to non-controlling interests in the income statement, and it is not considered on net income attributable to shareholders of Petrobras.

CTA – Cumulative translation adjustment – The cumulative amount of exchange variation arising on translation of foreign operations that is recognized in Shareholders’ Equity and will be transferred to profit or loss on the disposal of the investment.

Domestic crude oil sales price Average of the internal transfer prices from Exploration & Production to Refining, Transportation and Marketing.

Domestic natural gas production – Natural gas production in Brazil less LNG plus gas reinjection.

Effect of average cost in the Cost of Sales – In view of the average inventory term of 60 days, the crude oil and oil products international prices movement, as well as foreign exchange effect over imports,  production taxes and other factors that impact costs, do not entirely influence the cost of sales in the period, having its total effects only in the next period.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feedstock processed Brazil – Daily volume of crude oil and NGL processed.

Feedstock processed (excluding NGL) Daily volume of crude oil processed in the Company´s refineries in Brazil and is factored into the calculation of the Refining Plants Utilization Factor.

Free cash flow – Net cash provided by operating activities less acquisition of PP&E and intangibles assets, investments in investees and dividends received.. Free cash flow is not defined under the IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash and cash equivalents calculated in accordance with IFRS. It may not be comparable to free cash flow of other companies, however management believes that it is an appropriate supplemental measure to assess our liquidity and supports leverage management.

Gross Margin Gross profit over sales revenues.

Jet fuel Aviation fuel.

Leverage – Ratio between the Net Debt and the sum of Net Debt and Shareholders’ Equity. Leverage is not a measure defined in the IFRS and it is possible that it may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies, however management believes that it is an appropriate supplemental measure to assess our liquidity.

Lifting Cost – Crude oil and natural gas lifting cost indicator, which considers expenditures occurred in the period.

LNG Liquified natural gas.

LPG Liquified crude oil gas.

Net Debt – Gross debt less adjusted cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is not a measure defined in the IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total long-term debt calculated in accordance with IFRS. Our calculation of net debt may not be comparable to the calculation of net debt by other companies. Management believes that net debt is an appropriate supplemental measure that helps investors assess our liquidity and supports leverage management.

Net Income by Business Segment Company’s segment results. Petrobras is an integrated energy company and most of the crude oil and natural gas production from the Exploration & Production segment is transferred to other business segments of the Company.
