Petrobras financial performance in 2Q22

Rio de Janeiro, July 28, 2022 - Once again we delivered solid quarterly results. According to our CFO, Rodrigo Araujo Alves, "Second quarter results show the resilience and strength of the Company, which is able to generate sustainable results, following its trajectory of value creation. In line with our commitment to distribute our results, we approved a shareholder remuneration of R$ 6.73 per common and preferred share. In addition, we collected a total of BRL 77 billion in taxes and government take in the second quarter, which amounted to around BRL 147 billion in the year, an increase of 92% compared to the first half of last year".

Main achievements:

  • Recurring EBITDA of US$ 20.2 billion (+34% vs 1Q22) and free cash flow of US$ 12.8 billion (+61% vs 1Q22), mainly reflecting the appreciation of Brent prices in the period, better results with oil products and natural gas sales and lower volumes of LNG imports.
  • Recurring net income of US$ 9.1 billion (+9% vs 1Q22) due to the factors described above, partially offset by the negative financial result because of the depreciation of the BRL.
  • Gross debt of US$ 53.6 billion (-9% vs 1Q22), mainly due to debt prepayments and amortizations.
  • CAPEX of US$ 3.1 billion in 2Q22 (+74% vs 1Q22),, including US$ 892 million signature bonus related to the Sépia and Atapu fields.
  • Beginning of the coparticipation agreement for the Sepia and Atapu fields, in which Petrobras will be the operator in partnership with other companies. Cash inflow from this agreement amounted to US$ 5,2 billion in 2Q22.
  • Start-upof FPSO Guanabara in 04/30/22, the first definitive system in Mero field.
  • Cash inflows from divestments of US$ 1.6 billion in 2Q22. We highlight the signing of the LUBNOR sale agreement on June 15th. On July 11, we concluded the sale of our 51% Gaspetro for R$ 2.1 billion.
  • On June 27, we relaunched the sale processes of the Abreu e Lima Refinery (RNEST), Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery (REPAR) and Alberto Pasqualini Refinery (REFAP), in line with the company's portfolio management and capital allocation strategy.
  • In July, we signed the first credit line with sustainability commitments (Sustainability-Linked Loan) in the amount of US$ 1.25 billion, maturing in July 2027.

(*) Sales revenues from operations outside of Brazil, including trading and excluding exports.

In 2Q22, sales revenues grew 28% compared to 1Q22, mainly due to the 12% increase in Brent prices, higher oil and oil products sales volumes and higher oil products and natural gas prices, amid the recovery in global demand for oil and oil products after the critical period of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts in supply by the war in Ukraine. Revenues from oil products in the domestic market were 31% higher than in 1Q22, with higher revenues from all products except fuel oil, due to a drop in volume, mainly because there were no deliveries for thermoelectric generation in 2Q22. Oil revenues in the domestic market increased 52% due to higher sales to Acelen.

On the other hand, there was a drop in revenues from electricity, given the lower thermoelectric dispatch with the continued recovery in hydrological conditions in 2Q22.

In terms of the breakdown of revenues in the domestic market, diesel and gasoline continued to be the main products, together accounting for 73% of oil products domestic sales in 2Q22.

A relevant change in petroleum flows was observed in 1H22, stemming from the war in Ukraine. Russian exports, which previously supplied Europe, were diverted to Asian markets, mainly India and China. The constant search for global opportunities and the development of new customers that Petrobras has been implementing over the years were decisive for the company to also change the flow of its exports, taking advantage of new arbitrage and maximizing the generation of value in its sales.

In 2Q22, we had the following distribution of export destinations by volume:
