In the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the
Company recognized a US$ 44 reversal of cost of sales, adjusting inventories to net
realizable value (a US$ 6 loss within cost of sales in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023), primarily due to changes in international
prices of crude oil and oil products.
At June 30, 2024, the Company had pledged crude
oil and oil products volumes as collateral for the Term of Financial Commitment (TFC) related to Pension Plans PPSP-R, PPSP-R Pre-70 and
PPSP-NR Pre-70 signed by Petrobras and Fundação Petrobras de Seguridade Social – Petros Foundation in 2008,

Forfaiting
The Company has a program to encourage the development
of the oil and gas production chain called “Mais Valor” (More Value), operated by a partner company on a 100% digital
platform.
By using this platform, the suppliers who want
to anticipate their receivables may launch a reverse auction, in which the winner is the financial institution which offers the lowest
discount rate. The financial institution becomes the creditor of invoices advanced by the supplier, and Petrobras pays the invoices on
the same date and under the conditions originally agreed with the supplier.
Invoices are advanced in the “Mais Valor”
program exclusively at the discretion of the suppliers and do not change the terms, prices and commercial conditions contracted by Petrobras
with such suppliers, as well as it does not add financial charges to the Company, therefore, the classification is maintained as Trade
payables in Statements of Cash Flows (Cash flows from operating activities).
As of June 30, 2024, the balance advanced by suppliers,
within the scope of the program, is US$ 139 (US$ 110 as of December 31, 2023) and has a payment term from 6 to 92 days and a
weighted average term of 53 days (payment term from 7 to 92 days and a weighted average term of 57 days in 2023), after the contracted
commercial conditions have been met.

Uncertain treatments on Corporate
Income Tax (CIT)
In 2023 and 2024, the Company received additional
charges from the Dutch tax authority, due to a final assessment on the calculation of the Corporate Income Tax (CIT) of subsidiaries in
the Netherlands from 2018 to 2020, arising from the valuation for tax purposes of platforms and equipment nationalized under the Repetro
tax regime, in the amount of US$ 607, updated through June 30, 2024 by applicable interest rates.
Tax treatments of certain subsidiaries from 2020
to 2022 have not yet been assessed by this tax authority. Any charges by the Dutch tax authority for those years, on a similar basis to
the periods already assessed, could reach the amount of US$ 181. Thus, the total amount of these uncertain tax treatments is US$ 788,
updated through June 30, 2024 by applicable interest rates.
The Company continues to defend its position but
understands that it is not probable that the tax authority will fully accept this tax treatment. Thus, a liability was recognized with
a corresponding effect in income taxes within the statement of income in 2023, by means of the expected value method, constituted by the
sum of amounts weighted by the probability of loss.

| 12.3. | Enrollment to the tax settlement
program |
In June 2024, Petrobras enrolled to a Transaction
Notice published in the same month by the Attorney General's Office of the Brazilian National Treasury (PGFN) and the Brazilian Federal
Revenue (RFB), for the settlement of relevant litigation related to the taxation of remittances abroad, arising from the bipartition of
the legal transaction agreed in a chartering contract for vessels and platforms, and in another contract for services.
The Transaction Notice provided for the settlement
of debts under dispute relating to the taxation of CIDE, PIS and COFINS, from 2008 to 2013, whose updated amount on June 28, 2024, date
of the enrollment, was US$ 8,087. The balance of the contingent liability related to the taxation of remittances abroad, which includes
the debts relating to the taxation of CIDE, PIS and COFINS, was disclosed in the financial statements as of December 31, 2023, note 19.3.
The enrollment to this program brings economic
benefits, as continuing the discussions would require further financial effort to provide and maintain judicial guarantees related to
the Negotiated Legal Proceeding (NJP) agreed with the PGFN, in addition to other procedural costs and expenses.
The Transaction Notice provided for a 65% discount
on the agreed amount in Brazilian reais, after the conversion of related judicial deposits into definitive payment. Therefore, on the
enrollment date, the Company recognized a US$ 3,571 liability in the statement of financial position, within other taxes payable,
relating to CIDE, PIS, and COFINS. The settlement of this tax liability is defined as follows:
| · | use, in June 2024, of nominal amounts of judicial
deposits related to the debts to be settled through this program, in the amount of US$ 1,197; |
| · | use, in June 2024, of tax loss carryforwards of subsidiaries,
in the amount of US$ 233; |
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PETROBRAS (Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) |
|
| · | down payment of US$ 642 upon enrollment in June 2024
and the remaining balance to be paid in 6 monthly installments until December 2024, updated by the Selic interest rate. |

transaction is presented as follows:

As part of this tax transaction is related to projects
in which the Company operates in partnership in E&P consortia, Petrobras started negotiations with its partners for the reimbursement
of the corresponding amounts to their respective interests, in the expected amount of US$ 465, of which:
| · | US$ 202 receivable was recognized in June 2024
relating to reimbursements approved by partners until June 30, 2024; and |
| · | US$ 263 are considered contingent assets on
June 30, 2024, of which: (i) US$ 230 receivable recognized in July and August 2024 relating to reimbursements approved from July 1, 2024
to the date of the release of this report; and (ii) US$ 33 currently under negotiation with partners. |

Health Care Plan
The health care plan Saúde Petrobras
– AMS is managed and run by Petrobras Health Association (Associação Petrobras de Saúde –
APS), a nonprofit civil association, and includes prevention and health care programs. The plan offers assistance to all employees, retirees,
pensioners and eligible family members, according to the rules of the plan and the Collective Bargaining Agreement (ACT), and is open
to new employees.
Benefits are paid by the Company based on the costs
incurred by the participants. The financial participation of the Company and the beneficiaries on the expenses are provided for in the
plan rules and in the ACT, being 60% by the Company and 40% by the participants until March 31, 2024.
As provided in clause 37 paragraph 2 of the ACT,
if the resolutions No. 42/2022 and No. 49/2023 of the Commission on Corporate Governance and the Administration of Corporate Holdings
of the Brazilian Federal Government (Comissão de Governança Corporativa e de Administração de Participações
Societárias da União – CGPAR) were revoked or amended, allowing adjustments in the cost-sharing of health care
plans, the Company and the labor unions would discuss a new cost-sharing arrangement, in order to minimize the impact on the income of
its beneficiaries.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PETROBRAS (Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) |
|
On April 26, 2024, the aforementioned resolutions
were revoked and, for this reason, the Company and the unions entered into an agreement, in June 2024, via amendment to the current collective
bargaining agreement, to resume the costing relationship previously practiced, with 70% covered by Petrobras and 30% by the beneficiaries,
effective since April 2024. Due to this change, the Company carried out an intermediate remeasurement of the actuarial liabilities of
this plan.
Intermediate remeasurement
The intermediate remeasurement of this post-employment
plan made in the June 2024 resulted in a US$ 23 increase in actuarial liabilities, as follows: (i) a US$ 1,291 expense within
other income and expenses, due to the change in the benefit costing; (ii) a US$ 1,265 gain within other comprehensive income due
to the revision of actuarial assumptions, mainly the increase in the discount rate applied to actuarial liabilities, from 5.45% as of
December 31, 2023 to 6.48% as of June 30, 2024, and to the reduction in the estimated change in medical and hospital medical costs, from
13.11% as of December 31, 2023 to 12.70% as of June 30, 2024; and (iii) a US$3 gain within translation adjustments.
The other actuarial assumptions used to carry out
the intermediate remeasurement had no change.

benefit plans |

Pension plans
The Company’s post-retirement plans are managed
by Petros Foundation (Fundação Petrobras de Seguridade Social), a nonprofit legal entity governed by private law
with administrative and financial autonomy.
The net obligation with pension plans recorded
by the Company is measured in accordance with the requirements of IFRS which has a different measurement methodology to that applicable
to pension funds, regulated by the Post-Retirement Benefit Federal Council (Conselho Nacional de Previdência Complementar
– CNPC).
On March 28, 2024, the Deliberative Council of
Petros Foundation approved the financial statements of the pension plans for the year ended December 31, 2023, sponsored by the Company.
The following table below presents the reconciliation
of the deficit of Petros Plan registered by Petros Foundation as of December 31, 2023 with the net actuarial liability registered by the
Company at the same date:

Sponsor Contributions – in the calculation of the obligation, Petros
considers the future cash flow of ordinary and extraordinary sponsor and participants contributions, discounted to present value, according
to the CNPC criteria, while the Company only considers them as they are made.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PETROBRAS (Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) |
|
•
Financial Assumptions - the main difference is the definition of the real
interest rate established by Petros, which is according to the expected profitability of the current investment portfolios and the parameters
published by the CNPC, considering a moving average of recent years in setting safety limits. On the other hand, the Company determines
the real interest rates through an equivalent rate that combines the maturity profile of pension and health care obligations with the
future yield curve of long-term Brazilian Federal Government securities (“Tesouro IPCA”, formerly known as NTN).
•
Changes in the fair value of plan assets – Petros measures government
securities based on its curve, with a portfolio immunization strategy, while in the Company measures at market value.
| 13.3.2. | Changes in the actuarial liabilities

Net actuarial liabilities represent the obligations

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the
Company contributed with US$ 482 (US$ 451 in the same period of 2023), to the defined benefit plans (reducing the balance of obligations
of these plans, as presented in note 13.3.2), and with US$ 115 and US$ 1, respectively, to the defined contribution portions of PP-2
and PP-3 plans (US$ 102 for PP-2 and US$ 1 for PP-3 in the same period of 2023), which were recognized in the statement of income.
| 14. | Provisions for legal proceedings,
judicial deposits and contingent liabilities |
| 14.1. | Provisions for legal proceedings |
The Company recognizes provisions for legal, administrative
and arbitral proceedings, based on the best estimate of the costs, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic

and collective labor claims; (ii) opt-out claims related to 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;
and (iii) actions of outsourced employees. |
| · | Tax claims including: (i) tax notices for alleged
non-compliance with ancillary obligations; (ii) claims relating to benefits previously taken for Brazilian federal tax credits applied
that were subsequently alleged to be disallowable, including disallowance of PIS and COFINS tax credits; (iii) claims for alleged non-payment
of CIDE on imports of propane and butane; and (iv) claims for alleged non-payment of social security contributions on allowances and bonuses. |
| · | Civil claims, in particular: (i) lawsuits related

measurement systems; and (iii) collective and individual claims that discuss topics related to pension plans managed by Petros. |
| · | Environmental claims, specially: (i) fines relating
to an environmental accident in the State of Paraná in 2000; (ii) fines relating to the Company’s offshore operation;
and (iii) public civil action for oil spill in 2004 in Serra do Mar-São Paulo State Park. |

In preparing its unaudited condensed consolidated
interim financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Company considered all available information concerning
legal proceedings in which the Company is a defendant, in order to estimate the amounts of obligations and probability that outflows of
resources will be required.
The Company makes deposits in judicial phases,
mainly to suspend the chargeability of the tax debt and to maintain its tax compliance. Judicial deposits are set out in the table below
according to the nature of the corresponding lawsuits:

(1) It includes, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, US$ 1,276 referring to the nominal values of deposits used when enrolling to the tax settlement program on the incidence of CIDE, PIS and Cofins on remittances abroad under a vessel and platform charter agreement as detailed in note 12. |
The Company maintains a Negotiated Legal Proceeding
(NJP) agreement with the Brazilian National Treasury Attorney General's Office (PGFN), aiming to postpone judicial deposits related to
federal tax lawsuits with values exceeding US$ 36 (R$ 200 million), which allows judicial discussion without the immediate
disbursement.
To achieve this, the Company makes production capacity
available as a guarantee from the Tupi, Sapinhoá, and Roncador fields. As the judicial deposits are made, the mentioned capacity
is released for other processes that may be included in the NJP.
The Company’s management understands that
the mentioned NJP provides greater cash predictability and ensures the maintenance of federal tax regularity. As of June 30, 2024, the
balance of production capacity held in guarantee in the NJP is US$ 2,507 (US$ 7,997 as of December 31, 2023), whose reduction is due to
the Company's enrollment to the tax settlement program in June 2024.

| 14.3. | Contingent liabilities |
The estimates of contingent liabilities are indexed
to inflation and updated by applicable interest rates. As of June 30, 2024, estimated contingent liabilities for which the possibility

The main contingent liabilities are:
| · | Tax matters comprising: (i) income from foreign subsidiaries
and associates not included in the computation of taxable income (IRPJ and CSLL); (ii) collection of customs taxes and fines related to
imports under the Repetro regime in the Frade consortium; (iii) disapproval of PIS and COFINS tax compensation due to credit disallowance;
(iv) withholding income tax (IRRF) on remittances for payments of vessel charters; (v) collection of IRPJ and CSLL on transfer price;
(vi) collection of PIS and COFINS, resulting from the payment of taxes negotiated with the Brazilian Federal Government, excluding the
payment of fines; (vii) collection of ICMS involving several states; and (viii) incidence of social security contributions on the payment
of bonuses. |
| · | Labor matters, comprising: (i) mainly 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; and (ii) several labor claims. |
| · | Civil matters comprising mainly: (i) lawsuits
related to contracts; (ii) administrative and legal proceedings challenging an ANP order requiring Petrobras to pay additional
special participation fees and royalties (production taxes) with respect to several fields, including unitization; (iii)
regulation agencies fines, mainly ANP; (iv) collective and individual claims that discuss topics related to pension plans managed
by Petros; and (v) judicial and arbitration proceedings that discuss disposal of assets carried out by Petrobras. |
| · | Environmental matters comprising indemnities for
damages and fines related to the Company operations. |
| 14.3.1. | Minimum Compensation Based on
Employee's Position and Work Schedule (Remuneração Mínima por Nível e Regime - RMNR) |
There are lawsuits related to the Minimum Compensation
Based on Employee's Position and Work Schedule (RMNR), with the objective of reviewing its calculation criteria.
The RMNR consists of a minimum remuneration guaranteed
to employees, based on salary level, work schedule and geographic location. This policy was created through collective bargaining with
union entities and was approved at employee meetings, being finally put into practice by Petrobras in 2007, but started being the subject
of lawsuits three years after its implementation.
In 2018, the Brazilian Superior Labor Court (TST)
ruled against the Company, which filed extraordinary appeals to the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF), suspending the effects of the
decision issued by the TST and determined the national suspension of the ongoing proceedings related to the RMNR.
In July 2021, a monocratic decision was published
in which the STF’s Judge-Rapporteur granted an extraordinary appeal filed, accepting the Company's thesis and recognizing the validity
of the collective bargaining agreement freely signed between Petrobras and the unions, reversing the decision of the TST.
In November 2023, the First Panel of the Supreme
Federal Court decided in favor of the Company (with 3 votes against 1), confirming that there is an understanding of recognizing the merit
of the collective bargaining agreement signed between the companies and the unions. In January 2024, the ruling was published by the STF.
Against this ruling, the complainant and union entities filed an appeal for clarification, which were not recognized by unanimous decision
of the first Panel of the Supreme Court, maintaining the decision in favor of Petrobras. This decision was published in March 2024, becoming
final and unappealable. The Company monitors the application of the Supreme Federal Court decision in the lower courts.
The
Company has been adjusting the expectation of loss, according to the decisions in which the understanding of the STF applies, and monitors
the evolution of the subject in the TST for possible future changes in the amounts and
expectations of this litigation.

As of June 30, 2024, the balance of provisions
for legal proceedings regarding RMNR amounts to US$ 114, while the contingent liabilities amount to US$ 6,552.
| 14.4. | Class action and related proceedings |
| 14.4.1. | Class action in the Netherlands |
On January 23, 2017, Stichting Petrobras Compensation
Foundation ("Foundation") filed a class action in the Netherlands, at the District Court of Rotterdam, 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. The Foundation alleges that it represents the interests of an unidentified
group of investors and asserts that, based on the facts revealed by the Lava-Jato Operation, the defendants acted illegally before the
investors. On May 26, 2021, the District Court of Rotterdam decided that the class action should proceed and that the arbitration clause
of Petrobras' bylaws does not prevent the Company's shareholders from having access to the Dutch Judiciary and have their interests represented
by the “Foundation”. However, the interests of investors who have already started 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
scope of the action. The collective action moved to the discussion phase of merit issues.
On July 26, 2023, the Court issued an intermediary
decision on the merits, ordering the production of evidence, in relation to which the parties should express their views until August
27, 2024 for the issuance of the decision on the merits, which is appealable. In addition, the Court expressed in advance some understanding,
which must be included in the decision on the merits, among which: (i) the requests made against PIB BV, PO&G and certain former members
of the Company’s management were rejected; (ii) the Court declared that Petrobras and the PGF acted illegally in relation to their
investors, although the Court expressed it does not consider itself sufficiently informed about relevant aspects of Brazilian, Argentine
and Luxembourger laws to definitively decide on the merits of the action; and iii) the alleged rights under Spanish legislation are prescribed.
The Foundation cannot claim compensation under
the class action, which will depend not only on a final result favorable to the interests of the investors in the class action, but also
on the filing of subsequent actions by or on behalf of the investors by the Foundation itself, an opportunity in which Petrobras will
be able to offer all the defenses already presented in the class action and others that it deems appropriate, including in relation to
the occurrence and quantification of any damages that must be proven by the potential beneficiaries of the decision or by the Foundation.
Any compensation for the alleged damages will only be determined by court decisions in subsequent actions mentioned above.
This class action involves complex issues and the
outcome is subject to substantial uncertainties, which depend on factors such as: the scope of the arbitration clause of the Petrobras
Bylaws, the jurisdiction of the Dutch courts, the scope of the agreement that ended the Class Action in the United States, the Foundation's
legitimacy to represent the interests of investors, the several laws applicable to the case, the information obtained from the production
phase of evidence, the expert analyses, the timetable to be defined by the Court and the judicial decisions on key issues of the process,
possible appeals, including before the Dutch Supreme Court, as well as the fact that the Foundation seeks only a declaratory decision
in this class action.
The Company, based on the assessments of its advisors,
considers that there are not enough indicative elements to qualify the universe of potential beneficiaries of a possible final decision
unfavorable to Petrobras' interests, nor to quantify the supposedly compensable damages.
Thus, it is currently not possible to predict whether
the Company will be liable for the effective payment of damages in any future individual claims, as this analysis will depend on the outcome
of these complex procedures. In addition, it is not possible to know which investors will be able to bring subsequent individual actions
related to this matter against Petrobras.
Furthermore, the claims formulated are broad, cover
a multi-year period and involve a wide variety of activities and, in the current scenario, the impacts of such claims are highly uncertain.
The uncertainties inherent in all of these issues affect the value and duration of final resolution of this action. As a result, Petrobras
is unable to estimate an eventual loss resulting from this action. However, Petrobras reiterates its condition as a victim of the corruption
scheme revealed by the Lava-Jato operation and intends to present and prove this condition before the Dutch court.
Petrobras and its subsidiaries deny the allegations
made by the Foundation and will continue to defend themselves vigorously.
| 14.4.2. | Arbitration and other legal proceedings
in Argentina |
In relation to the arbitration in Argentina, the
Argentine Supreme Court denied the appeal, but the Consumidores Damnificados Asociación Civil para su Defensa (formerly
Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil, "Association") filed a new appeal to the Argentine Supreme Court,
which was also denied, thus the arbitration was sent to the Arbitration Court. This arbitration discusses Petrobras' liability for an
alleged loss of market value of Petrobras' shares in Argentina, as a result of the Lava Jato Operation. The Company is unable to provide
a reliable estimate of the potential loss in this arbitration.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PETROBRAS (Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) |
|
In parallel to such arbitration, the Association
also initiated a collective action before the Civil and Commercial Court of Buenos Aires, in Argentina, with Petrobras appearing spontaneously
on April 10, 2023, within the scope of which it alleges Petrobras' responsibility for an alleged loss of the market value of Petrobras'
securities in Argentina, as a result of allegations made within the scope of Lava Jato Operation and their impact on the company's financial
statements prior to 2015. Petrobras presented its defense on August 30, 2023. Petrobras denies the allegations presented by the Association
and will defend itself against the accusations made by the author of the class action. The Company is unable to provide a reliable estimate
of the potential loss in this arbitration.
Regarding criminal proceeding 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 lower court decision that had recognized Petrobras' immunity from
jurisdiction and recommended that the lower court judge take steps to certify whether the Company could be considered criminally immune
in Argentina for further reassessment of the issue. After carrying out the steps determined by the Court of Appeals, on May 30, 2023,
the lower court denied the recognition of immunity from jurisdiction to Petrobras. Petrobras filed an appeal against this decision, which
was recognized by the Court of Appeals on April 18, 2024. However, the Association filed a new appeal. The Court of Appeals had already
recognized that the Association could not act as a representative of financial consumers, due to the loss of its registration with the
competent Argentine bodies, which was also the subject of an appeal upheld by the Court of Appeals on September 15, 2022, recognizing
the Association the right to represent financial consumers. The Company presented its defense, as well as other procedural defenses, still
subject to assessment 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.
As for the other criminal action for alleged non-compliance
with the obligation to publish a “press release” in the Argentine market about the existence of a class action filed by Consumidores
Damnificados Asociación Civil para su Defensa before the Commercial Court, there are no developments in the six-month period
ended June 30, 2024.
| 14.4.3. | Lawsuit in United States regarding
Sete Brasil Participações S.A (“Sete”) |
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 alleged losses related to its investment
in Sete Brasil Participações S.A. On August 8, 2022, the judge upheld EIG's claim as to Petrobras' responsibility for the
alleged losses (which was recorded in 2022 as provisions for legal proceedings) 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 hearing and to the consideration of
the defenses by the Company. In the same decision, whose effects were recognized in the Company's financial statements in 2022, the judge
denied the request to dismiss the case based on Petrobras' immunity from jurisdiction, when an appeal was filed with the Federal Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which was denied in June 2024. Petrobras then submitted a request to review the issue, which
was rejected on July 24, 2024. As a result, the process, which had been suspended by the lower court judge on October 26, 2022 due to
the filing of the appeal by Petrobras, will resume its course.
On August 26, 2022, on another procedural front
initiated by the EIG, the District Court of Amsterdam granted a precautionary measure to block certain Petrobras assets in the Netherlands.
This granting was based on the decision of the District Court of Columbia, on August 8, 2022, and was intended to ensure the satisfaction
of EIG's claims contained in the aforementioned US lawsuit. For the purpose of this injunction, the District Court of Amsterdam limited
EIG's claims to a total of US$ 297, although the US Court ruled that any award of damages would depend on evidence of damages by EIG at
a trial hearing. There are some discussions about the scope of the assets blocked by EIG, but there is no related lawsuit pending in the
Netherlands. This precautionary block does not prevent Petrobras and its subsidiaries from complying with their obligations to third parties.
| 14.4.4. | Arbitrations proposed by non-controlling
shareholders in Brazil |
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, there
were no events that changed the assessment and information of arbitrations proposed by non-controlling shareholders in Brazil. For more
information, see explanatory note 19.5 to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

|
The Company tests annually its assets for impairment
or when there is an indication that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, net impairment
reversals were recognized in the amount of US$ 64, mainly due to:
| · | a US$ 37 impairment reversal of property, plant
and equipment after management approval of the return of the operational activities of the fertilizer plant Araucária Nitrogenados
S.A. (ANSA). The projected cash flow to determine the value in use of ANSA considered the resumption of operations for the second half
of 2025 and a post-tax discount rate in constant currency of 7.70% p.a.; |
| · | a US$ 13 impairment reversal of property, plant and
equipment following the increase of the occupied area of building Torre Pituba, |
| · | a US$ 12 impairment reversal of equity-accounted
investments, following the approval for the sale of the Company’s 18.8% interest in the share capital of UEG Araucária S.A.,
resulting in the reclassification of this equity-accounted investment to assets classified as held for sale and its registration at fair
value less costs to sell. |
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the
Company recognized net impairment losses amounting to US$ 403, mainly arising from the assessment of the second refining unit of
RNEST, which resulted in the recognition of a US$ 383 loss, mainly due to: (i) review of the scope for the implementation of logistics
infrastructure, with an increase in necessary investments; (ii) increase in the discount rate to 7.4% p.a.; and (iii) appreciation of
the real against the dollar on estimated future cash flows.

• | | The fair value of the Company's finance debt is mainly determined and categorized into a
fair value hierarchy as follows: |
• | | Level 1- quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities, when applicable, amounting
to US$ 12,703 of June 30, 2024 (US$ 13,971 of December 31, 2023); and |
Level 2 – discounted cash flows based on
discount rate determined by interpolating spot rates considering financing debts indexes proxies, taking into account their currencies
and also Petrobras’ credit risk, amounting to US$ 12,939 as of June 30, 2024 (US$ 15,358 as of December 31, 2023).
Regarding the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (IBOR
Reform), there was a necessity to amend the Company's contracts referenced in these indexes, considering the end of the publication of
LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) in dollars (US$), of one, three and six months.
As of June 30, 2024, 21% of the Company's finance
debt has been indexed to SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) and has the CSA (Credit Spread Adjustment) negotiated with the creditors
serving as a parameter, while 0.2% will still undergo contractual changes to switch to this new index.
The renegotiations performed so far have been solely
for the replacement of the LIBOR benchmark and are necessary as a direct consequence of the reform of the reference interest rate. In
these renegotiated cash flows, the change of the index is economically equivalent to the previous basis. Thus, the changes were prospective
with the recognition of interest at the new index in the applicable periods.
Therefore, the Company does not expect material
effects for the contracts that will still undergo contractual changes for the new index, considering that they will occur under market
conditions.
The sensitivity analysis for financial instruments
subject to foreign exchange variation is set out in note 27.2.2.
A maturity schedule of the Company’s finance
debt (undiscounted), including face value and interest payments is set out as follows:

Share repurchase program
On August 3, 2023, the Board of Directors approved
a Share Repurchase Program, for the acquisition of up to 157.8 million preferred shares issued by the Company, on the Brazilian Stock
Exchange (B3), to be held in treasury with subsequent cancellation, without reduction of share capital. This program is carried in the
scope of the revised Shareholder Remuneration Policy, approved on July 28, 2023, within a maximum period of 12 months.
On August 4, 2024, the Program was closed, resulting
in the repurchase of 155,468,500 preferred shares in the amount of US$ 1,116, including transaction costs (US$ 407 thousand), of
which:
i. | | 104,064,000 preferred shares from August to December 2023 in the amount of US$ 735 (transaction
costs of US$ 293 thousand); and |
ii. | | 51,404,500 preferred shares January to June 2024 in the amount of US$ 381 (transaction costs
of US$ 114 thousand). |
The cancellation of the treasury shares will occur
in the future by decision of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Dividends relating to 2023
On April 25, 2024, shareholders approved, at the
Annual General Shareholders Meeting, the appropriation of the results for 2023 with a change to the management's original proposal made
on March 7, 2024, of dividends referring to the application of the Shareholder Remuneration Policy formula (US$ 14,754), adjusting it
to include the distribution of 50% of the remaining net income that had been appropriated to the capital remuneration reserve as an extraordinary
dividend (US$ 4,244). Therefore, the total dividends for 2023 approved at the Annual General Shareholders Meeting is US$ 18,998 (equivalent
to US$ 1.4634 per outstanding preferred and common share), as per the table below:

Following the Annual General Shareholders Meeting,
the amount of complementary dividends is US$ 7,178, equivalent to US$ 0.5558 per outstanding preferred and common share, considering the
dividends referring to the application of the Policy formula (US$ 2,934) and extraordinary dividends (US$ 4,244). This amount will be
paid in two equal installments in May and June 2024, updated by the Selic rate from December 31, 2023 until the date of actual payments.
Dividends and interest on capital
relating to the first quarter of 2024
On May 13, 2024, Petrobras’s Board of Directors
approved the distribution of remuneration to shareholders in the amount of US$ 2,615, or R$ 13,446 million (US$ 0.2026
per outstanding preferred and common shares, or R$ 1.0416), based on the net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024,
considering the application of the Shareholder Remuneration Policy formula (US$ 2,847) and the deduction of the shares repurchased by
the Company during the period (US$ 232), excluding transaction costs, as presented in the following table:

(1) The amount of dividends and interest on capital per share was updated due to the share repurchase program, which reduced the number of outstanding shares. |
These dividends and interest on capital will be
paid in two equal installments, in August and September 2024. The amounts will be adjusted by the SELIC rate from the date of payment
of each installment until the end of the year and will be deducted from the remuneration that will be distributed to shareholders relating
to 2024.
This anticipation of interest on capital resulted
in a deductible expense which reduced the income tax expense by US$ 508. This amount was subject to withholding income tax (IRRF)
of 15%, except for immune and exempt shareholders, as established in applicable law.

(1) Petrobras' ADSs are equivalent to two shares. |
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing
the net income attributable to shareholders of Petrobras by the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period. The change
in the weighted average number of outstanding shares is due to the Share repurchase program (preferred shares) which is ongoing at the
Company.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PETROBRAS (Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) |
|
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting
the net income attributable to shareholders of Petrobras and the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period taking
into account the effects of all dilutive potential shares (equity instrument or contractual arrangements that are convertible into shares).
Basic and diluted earnings are identical as the
Company has no potentially dilutive shares.
| 27. | Financial risk management |
The Company is exposed to a variety of risks arising
from its operations, including price risk (related to crude oil and oil products prices), foreign exchange rates risk, interest rates
risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. To manage market and financial risks, the Company prefers structuring measures through adequate
capital and leverage management.
The Company presents a sensitivity analysis of
factors relating to its corporate risk management process. The reasonably possible and remote scenarios are related to events with low
and very low probability of occurrence, respectively. The period of application of the sensitivity analysis is one year, except for operations
with commodity derivatives, for which a three-month period is applied, due to the short-term nature of these transactions.

| 27.2.1. | Risk management of products prices |
The Company is exposed to commodity price cycles,
and it may use derivative instruments to hedge exposures related to prices of products purchased and sold to fulfill operational needs
and in specific circumstances depending on business environment analysis and assessment of whether the targets of the Strategic Plan are
being met.
| a) | Other commodity derivative transactions |
Petrobras, by use of its assets, positions and
market knowledge from its operations in Brazil and abroad, may seek to optimize some of its commercial operations in the international
market, with the use of commodity derivatives to manage price risk.
| b) | Sensitivity analysis of commodity
derivatives |
The probable scenario uses market references, used
in pricing models for oil, oil products and natural gas markets, and considers the closing price of the asset on June 30, 2024. Therefore,
no variation is considered arising from outstanding operations in this scenario. The reasonably possible and remote scenarios reflect
the potential effects on the statement of income from outstanding transactions, considering a variation in the closing price of 20% and
40%, respectively. To simulate the most unfavorable scenarios, the variation was applied to each asset according to open transactions:
price decrease for long positions and increase for short positions.

Additional hedging relationships may be revoked
or additional reclassification adjustments from equity to the statement of income may occur as a result of changes in forecasted export
prices and export volumes following a revision of the Company’s strategic 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 the Strategic Plan 2024-2028, would not indicate
a reclassification from equity to the statement of income.

| b) | Information on ongoing contracts |
As of June 30, 2024, the Company has outstanding
swap contracts - IPCA x CDI and CDI x Dollar.
Swap contracts – IPCA x
CDI and CDI x Dollar
In September 2019, Petrobras contracted a cross
currency swap aiming to protect against exposure arising from the 7th issuance of debentures, for IPCA x CDI operations, maturing in September
2029 and September 2034, and US$ 240 for CDI x U.S. Dollar operations, maturing in September 2024 and September 2029.
In July 2023, the 1st repurchase plan
for these debentures was closed. During the term of this plan, which started in July 2022, only an immaterial amount of this debt had
been effectively repurchased. Thus, the position in this swap remains unchanged.
Changes in interest rate forward curves (CDI interest
rate) may affect the Company's results, due to the market value of these swap contracts. In preparing a sensitivity analysis for these
curves, a parallel shock on this curve was estimated based on the average maturity of these swap contracts, in the scope of the Company’s
Risk Management Policy. For reasonably possible and remote scenarios, parallel shocks of 40% and 80% were applied to the interest rate
forward curves, which resulted in effects of 496 b.p. and 992 b.p., respectively, on the estimated interest rates. The effects of this
sensitivity analysis, keeping all other variables remaining constant, are shown in the following table:
|
Reasonably possible scenario |
Remote scenario |
SWAP Exchange rate (IPCA x USD) |
(10) |
(20) |
|
|
|
The methodology used to calculate the fair value
of this swap operation consists of calculating the future value of the operations, using rates agreed in each contract and the projections
of the interest rate curves, IPCA coupon and foreign exchange coupon, discounting to present value using the risk-free rate. Curves are
obtained from Bloomberg based on forward contracts traded in stock exchanges.
The mark-to-market is adjusted to the credit risk
of the counterparts, which effect is immaterial.
| c) | Sensitivity analysis for foreign
exchange risk on financial instruments |
The sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange risk
presented in the table below is carried out for a twelve-month term. The probable scenario is computed based on external data, while the
reasonably possible and remote scenarios considers 20% and 40% changes in the foreign exchange rates prevailing on June 30, 2024, respectively,
except for assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, when transacted in a currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies.
This analysis only covers the exchange rate variation and maintains all other variables constant.

| 27.2.3. | Interest rate risk management |
The Company considers that interest rate risk does
not create a significant exposure and therefore, preferably does not use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk,
except for specific situations faced by certain subsidiaries of Petrobras.
The sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk
presented in the table below is carried out for a twelve-month term. Amounts referring to reasonably possible and remote scenarios mean
the total floating interest expense if there is a variation of 40% and 80% in these interest rates, respectively, maintaining all other
variables constant.
The following table presents the amounts to be
disbursed by Petrobras with the payment of interest related to debts with floating interest rates at June 30, 2024:

|
| 27.3. | Liquidity risk management |
The possibility of a shortage of cash to settle
the Company’s obligations on the agreed dates is managed by the Company. The Company mitigates its liquidity risk by defining reference
parameters for treasury management and by periodically analyzing the risks associated to the projected cash flow, quantifying its main
risks through Monte Carlo simulations. These risks include oil prices, exchange rates, gasoline and diesel international prices, among
others. In this way, the Company is able to predict cash needs for its operational continuity and for the execution of its strategic
plan.

|
In this context, even these unaudited condensed
consolidated interim financial statements presenting a negative net working capital, management believes it does not compromise its liquidity.
Additionally, the Company maintains revolving credit
facilities contracted as a liquidity reserve to be used in adverse scenarios (see note 24.5). The Company regularly assesses market conditions
and may enter into transactions to repurchase its own securities or those of its subsidiaries, through a variety of means, including tender
offers, make whole exercises and open market repurchases, since they are in line with the Company's liability management strategy, in
order to improve its debt repayment profile and cost of debt.
The maturity schedules for the Company’s
undiscounted finance debt and lease liability are presented in note 24.4 and 25, respectively.

(1) It includes Variable Compensation Program (PPP) for Executive Officers. |
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, expenses
related to compensation of the board members and executive officers of Petrobras amounted to US$ 7.2 (US$ 5.7 for the same period
of 2023).
The compensation of the Advisory Committees to
the Board of Directors is separate from the fixed compensation set for the Board Members and, therefore, has not been classified under
compensation of Petrobras’ key management personnel.
In accordance with Brazilian regulations applicable
to companies controlled by the Brazilian Federal Government, Board members who are also members of the Statutory Audit Committees are
only compensated with respect to their Audit Committee duties. The total compensation concerning these members was US$ 163 thousand
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 (US$ 194 thousand with tax and social security costs). For the same period of 2023,
the total compensation concerning these members was US$ 221 thousand (US$ 266 thousand with tax and social security costs).
On April 25, 2024, the Company’s Annual Shareholders’
Meeting set the threshold for the overall compensation for executive officers and board members at US$ 8.6, R$ 43.21 million,
from April 2024 to March 2025 (US$ 8.9, R$ 44.99 million, from April 2023 to March 2024, approved on April 27, 2023).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras
Rio de Janeiro - RJ
Results of Review of Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated statement of financial position
of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2024, the related condensed
consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the related
condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024
and 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements). Based on our review, we are not
aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in accordance
with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows
for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated April 11, 2024, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position as of
December 31, 2023, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which
it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect
to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
A review of condensed consolidated interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries
of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
