EARNINGS REPORT | 1Q23

Message from Management

The beginning of 2023 was marked by volatility in commodities and a challenging debt market. In the macro aspect, it is possible to observe a high interest rate curve, resilient inflation and one of the most restricted debt issuance windows in recent years. The financial difficulties of retailers in Brazil and the bank crisis abroad aggravated this context. For the oil and gas industry, conflicts in Eastern Europe, together with uncertainties about the recovery of China and an eventual American recession, continue to affect the price of Brent, which fell to levels close to US$80 per barrel in early 2023.

At the operational level, the company achieved an important production milestone: we surpassed the daily average of 20Kboe in the first quarter of 2023. This result was supported by the gradual evolution of production in onshore operations and the strong contribution of 3R Offshore to the result. After taking over the operation of Polo Papa Terra with limitations in production systems and storage capacity, in the last weeks of December 2022, our operational team has been dedicating itself to improving integrity and reactivating redundancies in critical systems, in order to make the operation safer, more stable and more resilient.

In all the assets that comprise the Company's portfolio, there is still plenty of room to increase production, gain efficiency and dilute fixed costs over the coming quarters. To this end, the operations and supply management areas are making every effort to mobilize the intervention and drilling rigs as soon as possible, as well as to improve the processing plants, in order to comply with the investments foreseen in our business plan. Equally important, we are working to solve the processing obstacles at the Macau cluster in the shortest possible time, which have limited our production capacity in one of the assets with the best contribution margin for the Company.

Supported by the evolution of production, 3R achieved record net revenue in 1Q23, amounting to R$ 574 million, which represents an increase of 29% and 53% when compared to 4Q22 and 1Q22, respectively. Revenue for 1Q23 was 7 times higher than revenue for 3Q20, the quarter that marked the Company's first earnings release after going public, demonstrating the magnitude of the company's growth since the beginning of its trajectory. The evolution in production offset the transition costs and the drop in the Brent reference price, allowing the Company to reach an consolidated adjusted EBITDA of R$156MM in the quarter, with margin expansion when compared to the previous quarter.

In the strategic aspect, the efforts of Management and all our employees are focused on conclude the acquisition of Polo Potiguar. With diligence, proactivity and a lot of dedication, we are gradually moving towards achieving the precedent conditions. This week, we passed another big and important step: the process of transferring the last environmental license related to IDEMA was completed. Our expectation is that the last necessary condition will be solved in the coming days, with the transfer of the last environmental license, to be issued in the name of 3R by IBAMA.

Even in a turbulent first quarter for the sector, the year 2023 marks the beginning of a new cycle of portfolio consolidation and execution of the strategic plan for 3R. And in this context, the company delivered results that demonstrate the robustness of our strategy and is prepared to implement the organic growth plan projected for the next quarters, with the incorporation of relevant oil production assets, diversification of the product commercialization strategy, commercial optimization of contracts, corporate simplification and the delivery of healthy results, maintaining a high level of operational security.
