FINANCIAL REPORT

1Q-2018 RESULTS

Consolidated financial information audited by independent auditors, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS.

Rio de Janeiro – May 8th, 2018

Results

Petrobras reported net income of R$ 6,961 million in the 1Q-2018, 56% higher than the 1Q-2017, determined by the following factors:

 

Increase in Brent prices, which resulted in higher margins of oil exports;

 

Higher profit with sales of oil products, as a result of the implemented pricing policy;

 

Rise in margins and volumes in the natural gas sales;

 

Gain of R$ 3,223 million on sale of the assets of Lapa, Iara and Carcará;

 

Lower expenses with drillship idleness; and

 

Reduction on general and administrative expenses.

In view of the net income presented in the quarter, the new Shareholders Remuneration Policy and also considering the leverage metric of the company, it was approved the anticipation of interest on own capital, in the amount of R$ 0.05 per share, both to ordinary and preferred shares.

Free Cash Flow * remained positive for the twelfth consecutive quarter, reaching R$ 12,993 million in 1Q-2018, down 3% from the previous year. This result was impacted by the payment of the first installment of Class Action and the hedge of part of the oil production.

Metric - Net Debt / Adjusted EBITDA

Gross debt decreased from R$ 361,483 million in December 2017 to R$ 340,979 million and net debt decreased from R$ 280,752 million to R$ 270,712 million. In U.S. dollars, the drop in net debt was from US$ 84,871 million to US$ 81,447 million, representing a reduction of 4%. In addition, liability management made it possible to increase the average maturity of the debt from 8.62 years to 9.26 years, with increase in the average interest rate from 6.1% to 6.2%.

Adjusted EBITDA* increased 2% in relation to 1Q-2017, to R$ 25,669 million due to increased sales margins Adjusted EBITDA margin was 34%.

The net debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA* ratio reached 3.52 in March 2018, after having reached 3.67 as of December 2017. Leverage* decreased from 51% to 49% in the same period.

Excluding the Class Action effect, the net debt/LTM Adjusted EBITDA index would have reached 3.07.

Operating highlights

Petrobras' total crude and natural gas production in 1Q-2018 was 2,680 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed), of which 2,582 thousand boed in Brazil, 4% lower than in 1Q-2017, mainly reflecting the maintenance stoppages and divestment of Lapa.

Production of oil products in Brazil fell 7%, while the sale of oil products dropped 9% in relation to 1Q-2017, totaling 1,679 thousand barrels per day (bpd) and 1,768 thousand bpd, respectively. In relation to 4Q-2017, gasoline and diesel sales decreased due to lower demand, although there was a recovery of market share in diesel, because of the pricing policy implemented at the end of 2017. For the natural gas, there was an increase of 7% in sales volumes, compared to 1Q-2017.

The Company sustained the position of net exporter, with 507 thousand bpd of balance in 1Q-2018 (vs. 489 thousand bpd in 1Q-2017), due to the 38% decrease in imports.

1Q-2018 x 1Q-2017 Results*:

Net income was 56% higher, due, in large part, to Brent appreciation, which resulted in improvement of exports margins. In addition, the pricing policy contributed to an increase in sales margins for oil products. There was also rise in volume and margins in natural gas sales. Those factors were partially offset by decrease in sales volume in Brazil (mainly gasoline, due to higher ethanol penetration), and by the drop in crude oil exports, driven by lower oil production. Also contributed to the result the gains from the sale of Lapa, Iara and Carcará assets.

 

On the other hand, higher Brent prices led to higher production taxes and selling expenses rose as a result of the sale of NTS in 2Q17, that led to tariff payment for the use of the gas pipeline. There was also negative variation of the market value of commodities put options related to the hedge of part of crude oil production.

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased 2% because of the rise in oil products and exports sales margin.

 

Free Cash Flow decreased 3%, due to the reduction in operating generation, mainly due to the payment of the first tranche of Class Action and to the premium for contracting put options to protect the price of part of the oil production.

 

1Q-2018 x 1Q-2017 Results**:

Net income of R$ 6,961 million, compared to a loss of R$ 5,477 million in 4Q-2017, reflected the higher margins of exports and of sales of oil products and natural gas in the domestic market, due to the appreciation of the Brent prices, gains on disposal of assets and the absence of special items that impacted the previous result. There was a reduction in the demand for oil products in the country and a consequent reduction in sales volume, despite the recovery of the diesel market share in the quarter.

 

Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$ 25,669 million, an increase of 98% in comparison with R$ 12,986 million in 4Q-2017, due to higher sales margins and the absence of special items.

 

Free Cash Flow reached R$ 12,993 million, a rise of 97%, reflecting the increase in cash generation due to higher margins of crude oil exports and of oil products and natural gas sales, combined with the reduction of investments.

EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION

 

1Q-2018 x 1Q-2017

 

1Q-2018 x 4Q-2017

Results

The growth in operating income reflects the increase in Brent prices, as well as the gains realized from the sale of Lapa, Iara and Carcará assets, which were partially offset by a reduction in production and an increase in production taxes.

 

Operating income increased due to higher oil prices, as well as to the gain with sales of Lapa, Iara and Carcará assets, mainly offset by reduction in production, by increase in production taxes and by the positive result with abandonment in the prior quarter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Operating Results

Production

The production of crude oil, NGL and natural gas decreased compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the end of the Buzios Early Production System, the maintenance stoppage at the FPSO Capixaba, the sale of Lapa field and the stop of production of wells on P-25.

 

Crude oil, NGL and natural gas production decreased compared to the previous quarter, mainly due to the end of the Itapu Anticipated Production System, the maintenance stoppage at FPSO Capixaba and the sale of the Lapa field.

 

 

Lifting Cost

The indicator increased mainly due to the reduction of production and the greater realization of wells interventions.

In addition, we had higher production taxes as a result of the increase in international oil prices.

 

The indicator increased due to the reduction of production, partially offset by the optimization of the expenses with interventions in wells.

In addition, we had higher production taxes as a result of the increase in international oil prices.

1Q-2018 x 4Q-2017

      

Results

Operating income decreased mainly due to reduction of margins, mainly of diesel and gasoline, due to higher cost of crude oil, as well as reduction in oil products sales volume in the domestic market (mainly gasoline, due to higher ethanol penetration) .

 

The reduction in operating income is due to the lower sales volume of gasoline and diesel in the domestic market, as a result of the drop in total demand, despite the recovery of diesel market share in the quarter, and the appreciation of Brent, which increased the cost of crude oil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Operating Performance

Imports and Exports of Crude Oil and Oil Products

 

Net crude oil exports decreased because of lower production.

Improved net exports of oil products is due to lower imports of naphtha and gasoline and the increase in diesel exports, as a result of the reduction of sales in the domestic market.

 

Net crude oil exports increased because of inventory realization formed in the prior quarter and of the lower imported volumes.

The improvement in the net export balance of oil products was due to the increase in the volume of diesel and fuel oil due to the reduction in domestic demand, as well as lower imports.

 

Refining Operations

Processed feedstock was lower, mainly due to increase in imports by third parties and, in the case of gasoline, to lost of market to ethanol.

 

 

The processed feedstock was lower, mainly due to the reduction of the total demand of oil products in Brazil.

 

Refining Cost

Refining cost was higher mainly reflecting a decrease in processed feedstock.

 

Refining cost was higher mainly reflecting a decrease in processed feedstock.

GAS & POWER

 

1Q-2018 x 1Q-2017

 

1Q-2018 x 4Q-2017

Results

The higher gross profit was due to the increase in volume and natural gas sales prices.

Operating income was lower due to the increase in selling expenses resulting from the payment of tariffs for the use of the pipeline after the sale of NTS in 2Q-2017 and the expected credit losses, mainly with the electricity sector.

 

 

The reversal of operating loss in operating income was due to lower asset impairment, reduced purchases of Bolivian natural gas and lower regasification of LNG, despite the decrease in the generation of thermoelectric energy in the period.

 

Operating Performance

Physical and Financial Indicators

There were higher imports of LNG and natural gas from Bolivia due to the increase in sales to the thermoelectric and non-thermoelectric segments.

 

The thermoelectric generation remained stable. Mild temperatures contributed to the decrease of the dispatch for electric reason while the higher difference settlement price influenced the increase in merit generation

 

Lower imports of Bolivian natural gas and reduced LNG regasification due to drop in demand from the thermoelectric segment.

In the Regulated Contracting Environment (ACR), contracts were closed. The increase in energy sales in the Free Contracting Environment (ACL) was due to the seasonality of contracts and additional sales.

 

Favorable hydrologic conditions in the beginning of the humid period and higher offer of energy by Belo Monte hydroelectric plant reduced the difference settlement price, contributing to the reduction in thermoelectric dispatch.

DISTRIBUTION

 

1Q-2018 x 1Q-2017

 

1Q-2018 x 4Q-2017

Results

Gross profit increased due to the increase in the average margins as a result of the economic activity improvement in Brazil, which was, however, still not totally reflected in the sales volumes gains. Operating income reduced as a reflection of the provisioning for expenses with the 2016 voluntary separation plan, which was resumed.

 

Gross profit decreased due to the reduction of sales margins, associated to the lower sales volume, as a result of the segment seasonality. Operating income also decreased, mainly because of the drop in gross profit, partially offset by lower operating expenses.

Consolidated debt

Gross debt in Brazilian Reais decreased by 6% when compared to December 31, 2017, mainly as a result repayments of principal and interest, net debt decreased 4% and the average maturity of the debt was 9.26 years (8.62 years as of December 31, 2017). The average interest rate increased from 6,1% in December 31, 2017 to 6,2% in March, 2018.

Current debt and non-current debt include finance lease obligations of R$ 85 million and R$ 670 million as of December 31, 2017, respectively (R$ 84 million and R$ 675 million on December 31, 2017).

The ratio between net debt and the LTM Adjusted EBITDA* decreased from 3.67 as of December 31, 2017 to 3.52 as of March 31, 2018 due to asset sales and free cash flow.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

1.Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

 

Our Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure computed by using the EBITDA (net income before net finance income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization). Petrobras presents the EBITDA according to Instrução CVM nº 527 of October 4, 2012, 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.

The 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. 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.

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 of Adjusted EBITDA by other companies and it should not be considered as a substitute for any measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. These measures must be considered in conjunction with other measures and indicators for a better understanding of the Company's operational performance and financial conditions.

The reclassification of foreign exchange variation expense from Shareholders’ Equity to the Income Statement in the 1Q-2018 was R$ 2,661 million, a reduction of 9% compared to 1Q-2017 due to the exchange rate.

The small reduction in the reclassification of expenses with foreign exchange variation in Shareholders’ Equity for the 1Q-2018 result (R$ 2,661 million) in relation to the prior quarter (R$ 2,692 million), reflecting the exports done, protected by debts in dollars, with lower spread of foreign exchange (R$/US$) between initial dates of the designations and the actual exports dates.

 

Additional hedging relationships may be revoked or additional reclassification adjustments from equity to the income statement may occur as a result of changes in forecast export prices and export volumes following a review of the Company’s business plan. Based on a sensitivity analysis considering a US$ 10/barrel decrease in Brent prices stress scenario, when compared to the Brent price projections in our most recent update of the 2018-2022 Business and Management Plan (Plano de Negócios e Gestão – PNG), no reclassification adjustment from equity to the income statement would occur.

The expected annual realization of the foreign exchange variation balance in shareholders’ equity, on March 31, 2017, is set out below:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

4.Assets and Liabilities subject to Exchange Variation

 

The Company has assets and liabilities subject to foreign exchange rate variation, for which the main gross exposures are the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar and the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro. Beginning in mid-May 2013, the Company extended the use of hedge accounting to hedge highly probable future exports.

The Company designates hedging relationships between exports and its long-term debt obligations (denominated in U.S. dollars) to, simultaneously, recognize the effects of the existing natural foreign exchange hedge between those operations in its financial statements. Through the extension of the hedge accounting practice, foreign exchange gains or losses, generated by foreign exchange variation, are recognized in our shareholders’ equity and will only affect the statement of income at the moment of future exports realization.

During 2017, Petrobras, through its affiliate Petrobras Global Trading B.V. (PGT), made a cross currency swap derivative, aiming to protect the exposure to pounds against U.S. dollar, in view of the bond with notional value of GBP 700 million and GBP 600 million with maturity to December, 2026 and 2034 respectively. The Company does not have the intention to liquidate those transactions before the maturity date.

In 1Q-2018 , Petrobras Global Finance B.V.(PGF) rebought bonds denominated in dollars and in euro in the amounts of USS 7,639 million and EUR 366 million, respectively

The balances of assets and liabilities in foreign currency of our foreign subsidiaries are not included in our foreign exchange rate variation exposure below when transacted in a currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had a net liability exposure to foreign exchange rates, of which the main exposure is the relationship between the U.S. dollar and the euro.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

6. Results 1Q-2018 compared to 1Q-2017:

Sales revenues of R$ 74,461 million, an R$ 6,096 million increase when compared to 1Q-2017, due to:

 

increase in revenues in the domestic market (R$ 2,441 million), reflecting:

 

higher oil products prices, mainly diesel (R$ 1,949 million), gasoline (R$ 1,361 million) and LPG (R $ 1,189 million), reflecting the price readjustments, and other oil products (R$ 1,486 million) in line with the increase in international prices;

 

higher natural gas revenues (R$ 1,012 million), due to higher sales volumes, at higher prices;

 

lower volume of sales of oil products (R$ 3,863 million), especially:

 

o

gasoline (R$ 1,792 million), reflecting the loss of participation in ethanol and increased imports by third parties;

 

o

naphtha (R$ 1,084 million), due to the reduction of sales to Braskem; and

 

o

diesel (R$ 938 million), due to the placement of products by importers.

 

increase in export revenues (R$ 1,952 million), due to higher prices, accompanying the increase in international prices, partially offset by the reduction in the volume of exported oil; and

 

increase in revenues with international activities, (R$ 1,703 million), reflecting the higher international prices.

Cost of sales were R$ 47,688 million, R$ 3,109 million lower than 1Q-2017:

 

higher production taxes, influenced by the increase in international commodity prices;

 

higher expenditures on oil imports due to its higher share in the processed feedstock, despite the lower volumes traded;

 

increased costs associated with activities abroad, reflecting higher international prices; and

 

lower expenses with imports of oil products, especially naphta and gasoline, due to the reduction in domestic sales of oil products.

Selling expenses were R$ 4,128 million, a 73%, influenced by the increase in logistical expenses due to the use of gas pipelines since the sale of NTS in the 2Q-2017 (R$1,036 million), due to the higher expected credit losses related to the electric sector (R$ 517 million).

General and administrative expenses were R$ 2,142 million, a 7% decrease, mainly due to lower third-party service expenses, mainly related to administrative services.

Exploration costs were R$ 442 million, a 49% increase, mainly due to provisions related to contractual penalties of local content (R$ 118 million).

Tax expenses were R$ 481 million, 65% increase because of the adhesion to the state amnesty programs of ICMS debits.

Other operating expenses of R$ 1,270 million, a 67% decrease, mainly due to:

 

net gains from the sale and write-off of assets in the amount of R$ 3,261 million, mainly due to the sale of Lapa and Iara (R$ 2,236 million) and recognition of the contingent portion of Carcará (R$ 987 million);

 

revenue from contractual fines for the non-liquidation of Liquigás (R$ 286 million); and

 

negative variation in market value of put options contracted to protect the price of part of oil production (R$ 705 million).

increase in revenues from financial investments (R$ 105 million); and

 

higher costs of repurchasing of global notes in the capital market (R$ 531 million).

 

 

a negative monetary and exchange rate variation of R$ 246 million due to:

 

positive exchange variation of R$ 174 million due to a 0.5% depreciation of the Brazilian Real on the average active exposure in US dollars, compared to the negative exchange variation of R$ 199 million due to the 2.8% appreciation of the Brazilian real over passive exposure average in dollar in the previous year (R$ 373 million);

 

positive exchange variation of R$ 157 million due to the 3.7% depreciation of the US dollar on the net asset exposure in sterling, compared to the negative exchange variation of R$ 64 million due to the 1.2% depreciation on the net passive exposure in the previous year (R $ 221 million)

 

negative exchange variation of R$ 357 million due to depreciation of 2.4% of dollar on the net passive exposure in euros, compared to the negative exchange variation of R$ 297 million due to the depreciation of 1.4% over the net passive exposure in euro in the previous year (R$ 60 million); and

 

greater reclassification of the accumulated exchange variation in shareholders' equity to income from the realization of hedged exports under hedge accounting (R$ 226 million).

Higher production taxes, reflecting higher international prices;

 

Sales expenses of R$ 4,128 million, 3% higher than the 4Q-2017, due to higher logistics costs as a consequence of the increase in exports, offset by the lower sales of oil products in the domestic market.
