NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

 

 

1.Basis of preparation

These interim financial statements present the significant changes in the period, avoiding repetition of certain notes to the financial statements previously reported, and present the consolidated information, considering Management’s understanding that it provides a comprehensive view of the Company’s financial position and operational performance, complemented by certain information of the Parent Company. Hence, this interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which include the full set of notes.

The consolidated and individual interim financial information of the company was prepared and is presented in accordance with the Technical Pronouncement - CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Statements, issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) and approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), and related to IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). All relevant information pertaining to the financial statements, and only these, are being evidenced, and correspond to those used in the management of the company's Management.

These interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors in a meeting held on November 3, 2022.

 

2.Summary of significant accounting policies

The same accounting policies and methods of computation were followed in these consolidated interim financial statements as those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The accounting standards that came into effect on January 1st, 2022 did not have a material effect on these individual and consolidated quarterly information.

Regarding the reform of the reference interest rates (IBOR Reform), the Company continues to monitor the pronouncements of the regulatory authorities, as well as the measures that have been adopted, aimed at adapting the various financial instruments to the new benchmarks. Petrobras and its subsidiaries have debts indexed to Libor (London Interbank Offered Rate), the amount of which corresponds to approximately 33.5% of their financings.

3.Cash and cash equivalents and Marketable securities

Among the maritime bases, three labor union entities signed the agreement within the deadline defined by the ACT.

The PLR ​​2021/2022 regulation, approved by the Secretariat for Coordination and Governance of State-owned Companies (Sest), of the Federal Government, covers employees who do not occupy remunerated functions and provides for individual limits according to the participants' remuneration. In order for the PLR ​​to be activated in 2021 and 2022, in addition to the PLR ​​agreement having been signed, the following triggers/requirements must be met: i) approval of the distribution of dividends by the Annual General Meeting (AGO); ii) calculation of net income in the reference year; and iii) achievement of the average percentage, weighted by weight, of the set of indicators' targets of at least 80%.

The maximum amount of PLR to be distributed is limited to 5% of Adjusted EBITDA, to 6.25% of net income and to 25% of dividends distributed to shareholders, in each year, whichever is lower.

In the period from January to September 2022, the company made judicial deposits in the amount of R$6,741, highlighting: (i) R$2,196 referring to the unification of Campos (Cernambi, Tupi, Tartaruga Verde and Tartaruga Mestiça); (ii) R$ 1,009 referring to income tax and social contribution tax for not adding the income of subsidiaries and affiliates domiciled abroad to the parent company's income tax and social contribution tax calculation basis; (iii) R$1,123 referring to the levy of CIDE and PIS/COFINS related to the chartering of platforms; and (iv) R$ 523 referring to income tax and social contribution tax in the deduction of expenses with Petros.

13.3 Contingent liabilities

As of September 30, 2022, the contingent liabilities plus interest and monetary restatement, estimated for legal proceedings, whose probability of loss is considered possible, are presented in the following table:

  Consolidated
Nature 09.30.2022 12.31.2021
Tax 155,705 138,312
Labor 41,735 40,022
Civil – General 35,565 31,921
Civil – Environmental 7,187 6,652
Total 240,192 216,907
 

 

 

The main contingent liabilities are:

·Tax matters comprising: i) withholding income tax (IRRF), Contribution of Intervention in the Economic Domain (CIDE), Social Integration Program (PIS) and Contribution to Social Security Financing (COFINS) on remittances for payments of vessel charters; (ii) income from foreign subsidiaries and associates located outside Brazil not included in the computation of taxable income (Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution); (iii) requests to compensate federal taxes disallowed by the Brazilian Federal Tax Authority; (iv) collection and crediting of ICMS VAT tax by several states; (v) collection of social security contributions over payments of bonuses, and (vi) collection of custom duties and fines related to imports under the Repetro regime in the Frade consortium.
·Labor matters comprising collective actions requiring a review of the methodology by which the minimum compensation based on an employee's position and work schedule (Remuneração Mínima por Nível e Regime - RMNR) is calculated;
·Civil lawsuits, highlighting: (i) administrative and legal proceedings that discuss differences in special participations and royalties in different fields; (ii) fines from regulatory agencies; and (iii) claims involving contracts;
·Environmental matters with emphasis on indemnities and reparations for environmental damages and fines related to the company's operation.

In the period from January to September 2022, the increase in contingent liabilities arises mainly from: (i) R$ 12,113 referring to the tax assessment notice for the collection, by joint liability, of customs taxes and fines arising from the importation of goods under the regime of Repetro, for use in the Frade consortium; (ii) R$3,790 referring to administrative and judicial proceedings that discuss difference in special participation and royalties in different fields, including unification of fields; (iii) R$ 2,239 referring to the levy of CIDE and PIS/COFINS related to the chartering of platforms; (iv) R$1,670 referring to litigation for non-approval of federal tax offsets; (v) R$1,540 referring to lawsuits involving ICMS tax collection on imports in operations with liquefied petroleum gas derived from natural gas; (vi) R$1,376 referring to class actions that require a review of the methodology for calculating the Minimum Remuneration by Level and Regime (RMNR); and (vii) R$1,531 referring to civil litigation involving contractual matters. These effects were partially offset mainly by: (viii) R$5,978 for the transfer to remote loss related to the collection of ISS on services in maritime waters; and (ix) R$1,529 for the write-off due to the execution of an agreement and review of amounts in actions on the state monopoly of piped gas services.

13.4 RMNR - Minimum Remuneration by Level and Work Regime

There are several lawsuits related to the Minimum Remuneration by Level and Work Regime (RMNR), with the objective of revising its calculation criteria.

The RMNR consists of a guaranteed minimum remuneration for employees, based on salary level, working conditions and geographic location. This compensation policy was created and implemented by Petrobras in 2007 through collective bargaining with union representatives, and approved at employee meetings, being questioned only three years after its implementation.

In 2018, the Superior Labor Court (TST) ruled against the Company, which filed extraordinary appeals against its decision. However, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) suspended the effects of the decision rendered by the TST and determined the national suspension of the ongoing processes related to the RMNR.

On July 29, 2021, a monocratic decision was published in which the Reporting Justice granted the Extraordinary Appeal filed in one of the proceedings to reestablish the judgment that dismissed the copyright requests, accepting the Company's thesis and recognizing the validity of the collective bargaining agreement freely signed between Petrobras and the labor unions, reversing the decision of the TST.

In February 2022, the judgment of the grievances filed by the plaintiff and several amici curiae began. The judgment is currently underway in the First Panel of the Federal Supreme Court, with 3 votes in favor of the company, confirming that the prevailing understanding is in the sense of recognizing the validity of the collective bargaining agreement freely signed between Petrobras and the unions. Considering that the last minister to speak up requested a view, the trial was suspended pending the presentation of the vote by Minister Vistor.

As of September 30, 2022, there are several lawsuits related to the Minimum Remuneration by Level and Work Regime (RMNR) reflected in the company's interim financial information, R$812 of which classified as probable loss, recognized in liabilities as a provision for lawsuits and administrative expenses, and R$34,545 classified as possible loss. During the period from July to September 2022, due to specific formal aspects of the process in question, one of these lawsuits with possible loss was extinguished, as it became final in favor of Petrobras.

13.5 Class action and related proceedings

On May 26, 2021, the District Court of Rotterdam ruled that the class action against Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras, Petrobras International Braspetro B.V. (PIB BV), Petrobras Global Finance B.V. (PGF), Petrobras Oil & Gas B.V. (PO&G) and some former Petrobras managers must proceed and that the arbitration clause in Petrobras' Bylaws does not prevent the company's shareholders from having access to the Dutch Judiciary and being represented by the Stichting Petrobras Compensation Foundation. However, investors who have already initiated arbitration against Petrobras or who are parties to legal proceedings in which the applicability of the arbitration clause has been definitively recognized are excluded from the action. The collective action moved to the phase of discussion of the merits issues.

In the Argentine arbitration, in which Petrobras is held liable for an alleged loss of market value of Petrobras shares in Argentina, due to the unfolding of Operation Lava Jato, the appeal filed by Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil para su Defensa (" Association”) has not yet been tried by the Argentine Supreme Court.

As for the criminal action in Argentina related to an alleged fraudulent offer of securities, aggravated by the fact that Petrobras allegedly declared false data in its financial statements prior to 2015, the Court of Appeals revoked, on October 21, 2021, the decision court that had recognized Petrobras' immunity from jurisdiction and recommended that the lower court take some steps to certify whether the company could be considered criminally immune in Argentina for subsequent reassessment of the matter. Petrobras appealed against this decision, but the higher courts upheld the decision of the Court of Appeals, so the immunity must be reconsidered by the first instance. The Court of Appeal recognized that the Association could not act as a representative of financial consumers, due to the loss of its registration before the competent Argentine bodies, which was also the subject of an appeal upheld by the Court of Cassation on September 15, 2022, recognizing the Association the right to represent financial consumers. Petrobras presented other procedural defenses, which are still subject to consideration by the Argentine Court of Appeals. This criminal action is being processed before the Economic Criminal Court No. 2 of the City of Buenos Aires.

Regarding the other criminal action, for alleged non-compliance with the obligation to publish as a “material fact” in the Argentine market that there was a class action brought by Consumers Financieros Asociación Civil para su Defensa before the Commercial Court, there were no relevant events in the period from January to September 2022.

The EIG Energy Fund XIV, L.P. and affiliates (“EIG”) filed a lawsuit against Petrobras, before the District Court of Columbia, United States, to recover the losses related to its investment in Sete Brasil Participações S.A. On August 8, 2022, the judge upheld EIG's claim as to Petrobras' liability for the alleged losses, but denied the motion for summary judgment with respect to damages, whereby the award of compensation will be subject to the proof of damages by EIG at a trial hearing and the consideration of the defenses by the company. In the same decision, whose impacts are recognized in the company's financial statements, the judge denied the request to dismiss the case based on Petrobras' immunity from jurisdiction, which is why an appeal was filed with the Federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

13.6 Arbitrations in Brazil

In the period from January to September 2022, there were no events that changed the assessment and information about arbitrations in Brazil.

13.7 Legal proceedings - Compulsory Loan - Eletrobras

During the period from January to September 2022, there were no events that modified the evaluation of this process.

13.8 Lawsuits brought by Natural Gas Distributors and others

During the period from January to September 2022, Petrobras obtained, in the Superior Court of Justice, the suspension of the preliminary decision obtained by CEGÁS, which granted the extension of its gas supply agreement for 6 months. With the loss of effectiveness of the aforementioned preliminary decision due to the passage of time, the suspension previously granted became unnecessary, being extinguished. In another decision, the injunction that had been obtained by the State of Santa Catarina and that had extended, until April 2022, the price of the gas supply agreement that was terminated on December 31, 2021, was revoked in a sentence handed down on December 29, June 2022. Regarding the lawsuit filed by the State of Minas Gerais, a request was accepted to grant a suspensive effect to the appeal filed by Petrobras in view of the preliminary decision.

In October 2022, agreements were signed with CEGÁS and SCGÁS, with the objective of putting an end to existing disputes and pacifying controversial issues in relation to the price of natural gas supplied, based on the current economic conditions of the natural gas market.

The commercialization of gas by Petrobras, in the states of Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and Sergipe, has been taking place under the terms of the injunctions granted.

The compensations owed to Petrobras for Atapu and Sépia, which includes a preliminary estimate of the gross up of the taxes levied, under the terms of Ordinance No. 08 of April 19, 2021 from the MME, were paid by the partners on April 13, 26 and 27, 2022, amounting to R$9,960 in the Atapu compensation and R$14,552 in the Sépia compensation.

The Agreements came into force on May 2, 2022, after the attestation by Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A (PPSA) as to the contractors' compliance with the payment of compensation, as established in Ordinance No. 519 of May 21, 2021.

On the effective date of the Agreements, the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets associated with the Atapu and Sépia fields were partially written off, in exchange for financial compensation, resulting in a transaction similar to a sale.

The company calculated the amount of R$ 650, of which R$ 300 for Atapu and R$ 350 for Sépia, resulting from the difference between the preliminary estimate and the final calculation of the gross up of taxes levied on the net income generated by the transfer of ownership of the Petrobras assets for the Production Sharing regime, as provided for in Ordinance No. 08, mentioned above. This amount was received by Petrobras in July 2022 from Atapu and Sépia partners.

The consolidated result of the operation, presented in other operating income, was R$14,188, of which R$5,038 from Atapu and R$ 9,150 from Sepia.

The signature bonus corresponding to the company's participation in the Production Sharing Agreement (Surplus Volumes of the Transfer of Rights) in Sépia was R$ 2,141 and, in Atapu, in the amount of R$ 2,101.

Since it was a special auction, related to the surplus production of fields with technical and commercial feasibility already defined, the value of the signature bonus paid in the first quarter of 2022 (R$ 4,242) was recognized in property, plant and equipment after the start of the Agreement.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

The probable scenario uses references external to the Company, widely used in the pricing of cargo in the oil, oil products and natural gas market, which take into account the closing price of the asset on September 30, 2022, and therefore, it is considered that there is no variation in the result of open operations in this scenario. The possible and remote scenarios reflect the potential effect on the result of outstanding transactions, considering a variation in the closing price of 25% and 50%, respectively. To simulate the most unfavorable scenarios, the variation was applied to each product group according to the position of open operations: price drop for long positions and high for short positions.

27.2Risk management of crude oil and oil products prices

Petrobras prefers exposure to the price cycle to the systematic performance of protection of operations of purchase or sale of goods, whose objective is to meet its operational needs, with the use of derivative financial instruments. However, subject to the analysis of the business environment and the prospects for carrying out the Strategic Plan, the execution of an occasional hedging strategy with derivatives may be applicable.

a) Other commodity derivative transactions

Petrobras, using its assets, positions and proprietary and market knowledge from its operations in Brazil and abroad, seeks to capture market opportunities through the purchase and sale of oil and oil products, which can occasionally be optimized with the use of commodity derivative instruments to manage price risk in a safe and controlled manner.

27.3Foreign exchange risk management

a) Cash Flow Hedge involving the Company’s future exports

The reference values, at present value, of the hedging instruments as of September 30, 2022, in addition to the expectation of reclassification to the statement of income of the balance of exchange variation accumulated in shareholders' equity in future periods, based on a rate of R$/US$ of 5.4066, are shown below:

.

In the period from January to September 2022, an exchange loss of R$804 was recognized referring to the ineffectiveness in the exchange variation line (exchange gain of R$76 in the same period in 2021).

Future exports designated as hedged items in cash flow hedge relationships represent, on average, 64.91% of highly probable future exports.

The movement in the exchange variation accumulated in other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2022, to be realized by future exports, is shown below:

Changes in expectations of realization of export prices and volumes in future reviews of business plans may determine the need for additional reclassifications of accumulated exchange variation in shareholders' equity to the statement of income. A sensitivity analysis with an average Brent oil price lower in US$ 10/barrel than considered in the last revision of the Strategic Plan 2022-2026, would not indicate the need to reclassify the exchange variation from the shareholders’ equity to the statement of income.

The annual expectation of realization of the exchange variation balance accumulated in shareholders' equity as of September 30, 2022 is shown below:

b) Information on ongoing contracts

As of September 30, 2022, the company has swap contracts - IPCA x CDI and CDI x Dollar, in addition to swap - Pound Sterling x Dollar outstanding.

Swap contracts – IPCA x CDI and CDI x Dollar

Changes in future interest rate curves (CDI) may impact the company's results, depending on the market value of these swap contracts. The value of the shock on the curve was defined as a function of the average maturity term of the swaps, and is approximately 25% of the average term future rate. A sensitivity analysis of the future interest rate curves (CDI), by means of a parallel shock, keeping all other variables constant, would result in the impacts shown in the following table:

Sensitivity analysis Result
Constant increase of 300 basis points (40)
Constant decrease of 300 basis points 83
   

c) Sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments

The scenario considered probable is referenced by an external source, Focus and Thomson Reuters, based on the exchange rate forecast for the close of the next quarter. The possible and remote scenarios have the same references and consider the appreciation of the exchange rate at the end of the quarter (risk) at 25% and 50%, respectively, with the exception of the balances of assets and liabilities in foreign currency of subsidiaries abroad, when carried out in currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies. These analyzes cover only the exchange rate variation and keep all other variables constant.

27.4Interest rate risk management

The company preferentially does not use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations, as they do not cause material impacts, except in specific situations presented by Petrobras subsidiaries.

The interest rate risk sensitivity analysis is performed for a 12-month horizon. The values ​​referring to the possible and remote scenarios mean the total floating interest expense in the event of a variation of 25% and 50% in these interest rates, respectively, keeping all other variables constant.

The following table informs, in the probable scenario, the amount to be disbursed by Petrobras with the payment of interest related to debts with floating interest rate on September 30, 2022.

27.5Liquidity risk

The possibility of insufficient cash or other financial assets to settle obligations on the scheduled dates is managed by the company. In Petrobras' individual interim financial information for the period ended September 30, 2022, net working capital was negative, mainly due to transactions with subsidiaries, as per explanatory note 28. In the same period, considering the integrated cash view, the net working capital was positive in the consolidated interim financial information.

The company regularly assesses market conditions and may carry out repurchase transactions of its securities or those of its subsidiaries in the international capital markets, by various means, including repurchase offers, securities redemptions and/or open market operations, provided that they are in line with the company's liability management strategy, which aims to improve the amortization profile and the cost of debt.

Report on the review of quarterly information - ITR

(A free translation of the original report in Portuguese, as filed with the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM, prepared in accordance with the Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Reporting and the international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB)

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras

Rio de Janeiro - RJ

 

Introduction

We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras (“the Company”), identified as Parent Company and Consolidated, respectively, included in the quarterly information form - ITR for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, which comprises the statement of financial position as of September 30, 2022 and the respective statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine-months periods then ended, and statements of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for the nine-months period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with the CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Financial Reporting and the IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, such as for the presentation of these information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express our conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on reviews of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

 

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34, issued by the IASB, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission.

 

 

Other matters - Statements of added value

The individual and consolidated interim financial information referred to above includes the individual and consolidated statements of added value (DVA) for the nine-month period ended at September 30, 2022, prepared under responsibility of Company’s management, and presented as supplementary information for IAS 34 purposes. These statements were submitted to review procedures carried out together with the review of the Company’s interim financial information to conclude that they are reconciled with interim financial information and accounting records, as applicable, and its form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in CPC 09 - Statement of Added Value. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that those statements were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria set forth in this Standard with respect to the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
