Petrobras on commercial strategy for diesel and
gasoline
—
Rio de Janeiro, May 16, 2023 - Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras
informs that its Executive Board approved yesterday, May 15, 2023,
the commercial strategy to define Petrobras' diesel and gasoline
prices, replacing the pricing policy for gasoline and diesel
commercialized by its refineries.
The commercial strategy uses market references such as: (a) the
customer's alternative cost, as the value to be prioritized in
pricing, and (b) the marginal value for Petrobras. The customer's
alternative cost considers the main supply alternatives, whether
suppliers of the same or substitute products, while the marginal
value for Petrobras is based on the opportunity cost given the
various alternatives for the company, among them, production,
imports and exports of the product and/or the oils used in the
refining process.
The readjustments will continue to be made without a defined
periodicity, avoiding the transfer to domestic prices of the
cyclical volatility of international prices and of the exchange
rate.
The decisions related to commercial strategy will continue to be
subordinated to the Executive Group of Market and Price, composed
by the CEO of the company, the Chief Logistics, Commercialization
and Markets Officer and the Chief Financial and Investor Relations
Officer.
The commercial strategy is aligned with the Internal Market Pricing
Guideline (Guideline) approved by the Board of Directors on July
27, 2022.
The commercial strategy is based on competitive prices per sales
hub, in balance with the national and international markets, taking
into account the best alternative accessible to the customers. This
strategy allows Petrobras to compete more efficiently, taking into
account its market share, to optimize its refining assets, and
profitability on a sustainable basis.
With the change, Petrobras has more flexibility to charge
competitive prices, taking advantage of its better production and
logistics conditions and disputing the market with other players
that commercialize fuels in Brazil, such as distributors and
importers.
Competitive pricing maintains a price level that ensures the
investments foreseen in the Strategic Planning, under the premise
of maintaining the company's financial sustainability. Petrobras
reinforces its commitment to generate value and to its long-term
financial sustainability, preserving its performance in balance
with the market.
The diesel and gasoline price adjustments will continue to be
disclosed in the communication channels to customers and on the
company's website (precos.petrobras.com.br), where information is
also available regarding its share and of the other agents in the
formation and composition of the average fuel prices to the
consumer.
