MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholders,

I am glad to be able to tell you that we are running the ship safely through uncharted waters. We are very proud of our team whose talent and professional dedication allowed us to overcome, so far, the enormous challenges faced by our company.

The outbreak of a major global health crisis caused a deep and synchronized global recession that hit severely the global oil and gas industry.

Prices of Brent oil of US$ 65 per barrel in February collapsed to US$ 19 in April 2020 due to a global demand contraction of 25%, threatening to generate a sudden stop of cashflow. A liquidity shock has an effect similar to a heart stroke, as it has the potential to stop the continuity of companies’ operations. Amidst deep uncertainty, the prospect for continuous cash burn was very real.

As in a war, the unprecedented scale and speed of the global pandemic compelled us to move swiftly, as we know that serious crises produce winners and losers and the winners tend to be those who respond faster. And we do aim at being a winner. We are working hard, fast and efficiently to engineer a J-shaped recovery, ending up better than we were in the pre-COVID era. Of course, the safety of our operations and our employees as well as respect for the environment continue to be one of the pillars of our strategy.

The world was moving fast but now is moving even faster inspiring creativity and innovation and requiring stronger resiliency.

We see the crisis as an inflection point, from which we must accelerate the execution of our transformational agenda – including digital transformation –

to allow Petrobras to make a turnaround in its long history of value destruction, becoming an effective value creator to you and to the Brazilian economy.

In the short-term, our number one priority was to protect health - the physical health of our employees and the financial health of our company.

We have created a crisis committee, composed by the company´s executive committee with daily meetings. We have established two teams reporting directly to the crisis committee, one to deal with the health crisis (EOR) and the other in charge of liquidity and cost cutting (liquidity team).

To minimize the impact of COVID-19 on our workforce we decided to put in place a combination of social distancing with a strategy of screening, testing, tracing and quarantining, which is performing very well. Until this week we have applied more than 120,000 tests on our employees and the service supplier’s employees, within a universe of 135,000 people.

Working at home has been successful, even contributing to increase productivity. For the future we plan to keep around 50% of the personnel working at corporate activities in home office. However, it will be limited to three days per week in order to leave room for more effective culture preservation, team building and mentoring of younger professionals.

The operational personnel will be gradually returning to their normal work shifts, with the exception of those older than 60 and/or with co-morbidities. This will be implemented very carefully at metered pace to minimize the risk of new infections.

Our capex budget for 2020 was reduced to US$ 8.5 billion from US$ 12 billion and we have already launched initiatives to cut costs by more than US$ 2 billion, in addition to the postponement of cash disbursements, including executive salaries and annual bonuses, the last tranche of the 2019 dividend and part of the payments due to large suppliers.

In addition to the withdrawal of US$ 8 billion in revolving credit lines, we issued 10 and 30-year bonds amounting to US$ 3.25 billion and took almost US$ 2.0 billion in bank loans, in order to build a liquidity buffer to survive a worst case scenario of average oil prices of US$ 25 per barrel from April 2020 until year-end.

Integrated actions of the logistics and sales teams were able to maximize exports of crude oil and low-sulphur fuel oil, which reached all-time high volumes. This move was instrumental to offset the effect of the strong contraction of the Brazilian demand for fuels, especially in April - a month to remember in the history of the oil business – and to preserve liquidity.

More than 10,000 employees enlisted for the voluntary dismissal program (PDV), about 22% of our labor force, and will be leaving the company mostly this year and the remainder in 2021. This will imply cost savings of almost US$ 800 million per year.

The rationalization of the executive structure is estimated to lower costs by more than US$ 200 million per year.

Each of the 45 departments was required by the crisis committee to submit plans involving cost cutting. The company is carrying out several other initiatives to diminish costs and to realize efficiency gains.

As a consequence of the decrease in headcount and adoption of home office, we plan to reduce the current occupation of 17 administrative buildings – 23 in 2018 - to only 8 by 1Q21, implying cost savings of almost US$ 30 million in 2021.

Jointly with the elimination of several inefficiencies and logistics cost, we are working to minimize inventories and to rationalize storage space, reducing the number of warehouses to 25 from the current 45.

Like its parent company, our wholly owned subsidiary Transpetro is engaged in a program to strengthen resiliency and service quality.

In spite of the strong global recession the divestment program is well and alive. In 2020 we have already launched 20 processes of asset divestitures and sales concluded up to now generated almost US$ 1 billion in cash receipts for Petrobras. At the moment, we are discussing with the winning bidder for RLAM the final details to formalize a sales and purchase agreement.

We expect the approval for the conclusion of sale of Liquigás – a LPG distribution company - to be given by CADE, the Brazilian anti-trust agency, in the following months.

Oil and gas production is running smoothly and the E&P business obtained several achievements.

Búzios is beating new records: on July 13th production reached 844,000 boed. The FPSO P-70 started operations at the Atapu field and the first oil came on June 25th. Atapu’s first well has the potential to run at 50,000 boed.

The TOTUS (True one trip ultra slender) technology was successfully utilized for the construction of a well in the Golfinho field in the post salt. Drilling and completion took only 44 days, contributing to reduce costs by 50%.

Our main innovation projects dedicated to E&P, such as EXP-100, PROD-1000, PEP-70 and HISEP, are showing progress. If successful they have the potential to create significant value through a dramatic decrease of breakeven prices.

The company is ordering the construction of 3 FPSOs to operate in the second phase of Búzios, the first order in 8 years. Two of them will have a capacity of 180,000 bpd and the third one of 225,000 bpd. This will be the biggest FPSO operating in Brazilian seas and one of the biggest in the world.

Average lifting costs, on a cash basis, decreased to U$ 4.9/boe in 2Q20 from US$ 8.4/boe in 2Q19, a 41% year-on-year fall. At the pre-salt fields it reached US$ 2.4/boe in 2Q20.

After a sharp fall to levels lower than 60%, driven by demand weakness for fuels, the average utilization factor of our refineries is hovering around a range of 75-80%.

The Digital Twin project is already being implemented at the refineries with excellent results. We expect it to generate an additional revenue of US$ 154 million in a yearly basis through efficiency gains.

Our ESG agenda continues to move ahead steadily.

Total emissions and their intensity are in a downward trend since 2015. Petrobras became a supporter of the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) and is strongly committed to the goals of the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI).

Renewable diesel was successfully tested and is waiting for ANP’s approval, the Brazilian oil and gas regulatory agency, to begin production. The product proved to reduce GHG emissions by 70%, when compared to regular diesel oil and adds 15% more motor efficiency than the traditional biodiesel.

Our low-sulphur oil, compliant to IMO 2020 rule, gave us an edge as a supplier of marine oil.

Some global investors recognized the tremendous efforts of Petrobras to eliminate corruption as well as to strengthen corporate governance. The company was invited to return to be a member of PACI (Partnering Against Corruption Initiative). Petrobras had left in the wake of the Lava Jato scandal.

TRI, the rate of recordable injuries, at 0.67, continue its downward trend, setting a new global benchmark for the oil and gas industry.

As a good corporate citizen, we have been acting to mitigate the effects of the global pandemic on the Brazilian population, donating clinical tests, medical and hygiene materials, diesel and gasoline to fuel vehicles of public hospitals and using scientific capacity – scientists and high performance computing – to help innovations in the health field. In addition, food and LPG bottles are being donated to low-income communities.

Digital transformation is key to the future of Petrobras as an agile and successful company. It has been accelerated and deployed on a company wide basis. Projects are addressing costs, efficiency, GHG emissions and safety.

Among other initiatives, we are implementing 94 RPAs (robotic process automation) to replace workers allocated to perform manual and repetitive processes.

To support digital transformation and artificial intelligence high performance computing capacity was multiplied almost 7 times relatively to 2018.

As mentioned before, the global shock forced us to interrupt the deleveraging, and total debt ended the first half of 2020 at US$ 91.2 billion, US$ 4.0 billion higher than at December 31st, 2019

However, net debt decreased by US$8.0 billion in the first half of year, evidencing that there was no cash burn. Operational cash flow was strong enough to increase our cash holdings.

Given the recessionary scenario and drop in Brent oil prices of approximately 40% against 1H19 average, this was a major achievement.

Operational cash flow totaled US$ 13.2 billion in 1H20 – US$5.5 billion in 2Q20 – against US$ 9.9 billion in 1H19. Free cash flow reached US$ 8.9 billion in 1H20 against US$ 6.3 billion a year ago.

Therefore, we were able to make this week a US$ 3.5 billion partial pre-payment of the US$ 8.0 billion revolving credit lines. This reduces debt, improves risk perception while preserving liquidity as the revolving lines remain available.

The global economy is showing signals of recovery boosted by the US$ 15 trillion injection – about 12% of global GDP - derived from monetary and fiscal policy actions. Although on a more moderated level, uncertainty remains.

Petrobras still faces many challenges in its journey to sustainable value creation. Therefore, we must continue to develop initiatives to cut costs and to promote efficiency gains at fast pace.

As Sir Winston Churchill once said: “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty”.

At Petrobras there is no room for pessimism. And we strongly believe that with courage, optimism and hard work we will win.

Last but not least, I would like to thank for the strong support of our Board of Directors.

Roberto Castello Branco

Chief Executive Officer

2Q20 was affected by the impacts brought by the Covid-19 pandemic and the collapse in oil prices resulting from the OPEC+ negotiations. Brent prices in reais were down 29% QoQ intensifying the trend started in March. The social distancing measures were reflected in an 8% contraction in domestic demand for oil by-products. Revenues for all products sold were hit hard, leading net revenues to drop 33% in 2Q20, especially exports of crude oil and oil by-products, diesel, gasoline and jet fuel, partially offset by the devaluation of the Real against dollar.

It is worth mentioning that thanks to our quick reaction to the crisis and the successful implementation of our strategy, we managed to export large amounts in 2Q20, which were not totally translated into revenues. Those ongoing crude oil exports totaled 38MMbbl at the quarter’s end.

In terms of revenue breakdown in the domestic market, diesel and gasoline increased their relevance in the mix in 2Q20 due to the steep drop in jet fuel consumption.

Regarding sales to the foreign market, crude oil exports to China increased significantly as China was heavily affected by the COVID-19 crisis in 1Q20, and started to recover in 2Q20, consequently increasing its oil demand. It also evidences our strong commercial relationship with the country. In 2Q20, we had the following distribution of export destinations:

Cost of goods sold dropped 26% in 2Q20, mainly due to the decrease in production costs as we had lower production taxes, which are directly linked to Brent prices. The increase of Buzios production in the mix also contributed to this result. Imports of crude oil, oil by-products and natural gas also decreased (both volumes and prices), following the demand contraction in Brazil, leading to cost reductions.

Inventories built in 1Q20 at higher prices were sold in 2Q20, with an estimated impact of approximately R$ 1.1 billion.

In 2Q20, operating expenses decreased substantially compared to 1Q20 as the previous quarter was heavily impacted by impairment charges totaling R$ 65.3 billion and due to the exclusion of VAT tax (ICMS) from the calculation basis of the PIS/COFINS, following a favorable judicial decision, with a positive effect of R$ 7.2 billion.

Selling expenses increased 14% due to the devaluation of real against dollar, and higher logistic expenses due to changes in the sales mix, as we shifted a portion of our sales from the domestic to the foreign market, partially compensated by lower volumes.

G&A expenses dropped 14% due to decrease in headcount (more than 500 employees left the company in 2Q20), as a result of the implementation of the latest voluntary dismissal plans, and lower expenses with third-party services.

Exploration costs continued to drop, reflecting lower exploratory activity in line with the resilience initiatives.

Other taxes rose due to the PIS/COFINS tax incidence over: (i) the gain in the equalization related to the individualization agreements of the Tupi area and Sepia and Atapu fields and (ii) the monetary adjustment over the exclusion of VAT from the calculation basis.

In 2Q20, there were other operating revenues mainly due to the exclusion of VAT tax and the gain in the equalization, both explained above. On the other hand, there were expenses related to the provisioning of the voluntary dismissal plans (6,882 employees enlisted in 2Q20), which, in turn, will result in lower personnel expenses, and to expenses with commodities and crude oil export hedges. The latter were essential to guarantee positive margins to the company when the oil market was extremely volatile. Presently, we are no longer hedging our exports as markets have stabilized. Nonetheless, we can resume this practice if we deem necessary.

Adjusted EBITDA

 

In 2Q20, adjusted EBITDA decreased 33% when compared to 1Q20, reaching R$ 25 billion. Besides the 29% drop in Brent prices in reais, the high volatility of the oil market and the global demand contraction led to reduction in the margins of our crude oil and oil by-products. Sales volumes were also negatively impacted.

Also contributed to this result the provisioning of the voluntary dismissal plans (R$ 4.8 billion) and the hedging expenses (R$ 2.7 billion). On the other hand, there were gains with: (i) the exclusion of VAT tax (ICMS) from the calculation basis of the PIS/COFINS (R$ 7.2 billion), after a favorable judicial decision and (ii) equalization related to the individualization agreements of the Tupi area and Sepia and Atapu fields (R$ 4.4 billion).

 

The 46% reduction in E&P Adjusted EBITDA/boe in 2Q20 in relation to 1Q20 is mainly due to the drop in Brent prices.

 

Although the average Brent price was lower in 2Q20 than 1Q20, adjusted EBITDA/bbl for refining business in 2Q20 improved, reflecting the reduction on the negative inventory turnover effect in relation to 1Q20, due the recovery of Brent prices throughout 2Q20.

Financial results were better in 2Q20 mainly due to effect of the monetary adjustment of R$ 9.3 billion, as a reflect of the exclusion of the VAT tax from the calculation basis of the PIS/COFINS, after a favorable judicial decision, and reduction of the volume of the repurchase of debt securities and of interest expenses.

Hedge accounting reclassifications were also lower due to the extra volume of reclassifications made in 1Q20 following new assumptions for Brent prices. This effect was partially offset by higher expenses with the variation of the BRL against the USD associated with the passive foreign exchange exposure in USD.

Net income attributable to Petrobras’ shareholders

We recorded a net loss of R$ 2.7 billion in 2Q20, an improvement when compared to R$ 48.5 billion in 1Q20, mainly due to absence of impairments in 2Q20 and to the effect of the VAT tax exclusion from the calculation basis of the PIS/COFINS, after a favorable judicial decision. Excluding this factor, the result would have been worse due to the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis in our operations, with reflections in prices, margins and volumes.

We also had higher operating expenses related to hedging and to the implementation of voluntary dismissal plans. These factors were partially offset by a gain in the equalization related to the individualization agreements of the Tupi area and Sepia and Atapu fields and lower G&A.

Recurring net income attributable to Petrobras’ shareholders and recurring adjusted EBITDA

In 2Q20 the main non-recurring item that stand out was the exclusion of VAT tax from the calculation basis of the PIS/COFINS, after a favorable judicial decision, with a positive impact of R$ 7.2 billion in Adjusted EBITDA and of R$ 10.9 billion in net loss.

In 2Q20, investments totaled US$ 1.9 billion, 20% below 1Q20, due to the devaluation of the real and adjustments made for the year because of the pandemic. More than 70% correspond to growth investments.

Growth investments are those with the main objective is increasing the capacity of existing assets, implementing new production, disposal and storage assets, increasing efficiency or profitability of the asset and implementing essential infrastructure to enable other growth projects. It includes acquisitions of assets / companies and remaining investments in systems that started in 2018, exploratory investments, and investments in R&D.

Investments in maintenance (sustaining), on the other hand, have the main objective of maintaining the operation of existing assets, they do not aim at increasing the capacity of the facilities. Includes investments in safety and reliability of installations, substitute well projects, complementary development, remaining investments in systems that entered before 2018, scheduled shutdowns and revitalizations (without new systems), 4D seismic, SMS projects, line changes, infrastructure operational and ICT.

In 2Q20, investments in the Exploration and Production segment totaled US$ 1.6 billion, with approximately 75% related to growth. The investments were mainly concentrated: (i) in the development of production in ultra-deep waters of the Santos Basin pre-salt (US$ 0.8 billion); (ii) exploratory investments (US$ 0.2 billion) and (iii) development of new projects in deep waters (US$ 0.2 billion).

In the Refining segment, investments totaled US$ 0.2 billion in 2Q20, approximately 60% of which were investments in growth. Investments in the Gas and Power segment totaled US$ 0.1 billion in 2Q20, of which approximately 85% are investments in growth.

Portfolio Management

Improvements in capital allocation are being implemented through portfolio management, with divestments of assets with lower returns on capital employed.

In 2Q20, we concluded the sale of Macau cluster (onshore fields in Rio Grande do Norte). In 3Q20, until 07/22/2020, we have already concluded the sale of the remaining 10% stake in TAG and the Pampo Enchova cluster (shallow water fields in Rio de Janeiro) and we also signed the contract for the sale of the Pescada cluster (shallow water fields in Rio Grande do Norte). These transactions resulted in a cash inflow of US$ 997 million in 2020, as shown in the table below.

Petrobras is monitoring the possible impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its divestment projects and taking appropriate actions to achieve the divestment goal set out in its 2020-2024 Strategic Plan. Regarding the divestment in refining, we started negotiating the contracts with the potential buyer who submitted the best binding offer for the acquisition of Refinaria Landulpho Alves (RLAM) and its associated logistics. Although we have extended the deadline for binding offers for other refineries, we expect to resume this phase in the coming months, with the signing of the refineries happening until 1Q21 and completion of the processes by the end of 2021.

Petrobras reinforces the importance of portfolio management focusing on core assets, in order to improve our capital allocation, enable debt and capital cost reduction, and the consequent increase in value generation to the company and to our shareholders.

As of June 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled R$ 106.6 billion and adjusted cash and cash equivalents totaled R$ 109.6 billion. Our goal is to continue to adopt measures to preserve cash during this crisis.

In 2Q20, the inflow of funds from net cash provided by operating activities totaled R$ 29.3 billion, which, alongside cash inflows from financing of R$ 29.9 billion and divestments of R$ 866 million, and cash and cash equivalents, were used: (i) to prepay debt and amortize principal and interest in the period (R$ 18.3 billion); (ii) to spend in capex in the business areas (R$ 13.5 billion), including R$ 7.0 billion related to the equalization of the individualization agreements of Tupi area and Sépia and Atapu fields; and (iii) amortization of lease liabilities of R$ 7.8 billion.

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2Q20 was 16% lower than 1Q20, mainly due to lower Brent, lower production and sales as a consequence of the pandemic.

In 2Q20, loans and financing were mainly used to pay down debt and manage liabilities, improving the debt profile and better adapting to the maturity terms of long-term investments and the cash position, aiming at maintaining the company's liquidity.

In the period from April to June 2020, the company raised R$ 29.9 billion, notably: (i) funding in the national and international banking market, in the amount of R$ 5.4 billion, and (ii) global notes issued in the capital market in the amount of R$ 17.2 billion, of which R$ 8.1 billion relates to the issue of new bonds maturing in 2031 and R$ 9.1 billion maturing in 2050.

The company settled several loans and financing, in the amount of R$ 18.3 billion in the 2Q20.

Debt

The unprecedented event of the COVID-19 pandemic, with its steep effect on oil prices and economic activity forced us to take several conservative measures to preserve our cash position.

Gross debt increased 2.2% due to the increase in financing of US$ 5.6 billion, mainly due to the global notes issued in the capital market (US$ 3.2 billion). Therefore, the gross debt/LTM adjusted EBITDA ratio increased to 3.00x on June 30th, 2020 from 2.63x on March 31st 2020. The average cost of debt remained stable at 5.6% on June 30th 2020.

Regarding the net debt/LTM adjusted EBITDA ratio, it also increased to 2.34x on June 30th, 2020 from 2.15x on March 31st , 2020.

On July 27th 2020, the company made a partial prepayment of your Revolving Credit Facilities, in the amount of US $ 3.5 billion. Those resources will be available for new withdrawals, if necessary.

Despite the crisis, deleveraging still is a priority for Petrobras. In April, the Board of Directors approved the revision of the top metrics included in the 2020-2024 Strategic Plan and the net debt/EBITDA indicator was replaced by the gross debt indicator. The target for 2020 is sustained at US$ 87 billion, the same level of the end of 2019. It is important to highlight that the company continues to pursue the reduction of gross debt to US$ 60 billion, in line with our dividend policy.

In 2Q20 gross profit in E&P was R$ 8.8 billion, a reduction of 59% when compared to 1Q20. The reduction in gross profit was due to lower Brent prices, higher spread of our oil and lower natural gas prices, partially offset by a lower lifting cost and, lower payment of production taxes.

In 2Q20 operating profit was R$ 9.6 billion, mainly impacted by the equalization of expenses resulting from the individualization agreements of Tupi area and Sepia and Atapu fields. This result reflects an increase of R$ 54.1 billion compared to 1Q20, when impairment losses were recognized due to the reduction in Brent's average price projections.

In 2Q20, the lifting cost without government participation and without leasing decreased by 16%, reaching US$ 4.94/bbl, compared to US$ 5.88/bbl in 1Q20. The decline is mainly due to the impact of the devaluation of the real against the dollar and the mothballing of the shallow waters fields.

In the pre-salt layer, we observed a consistent path of falling unit costs, anchored by the stabilization of the new production systems, where we highlight the production platforms in Búzios, which have high productivity at competitive costs. In 2Q20 compared to 1Q20, we highlight the reduction in operating and maintenance expenses, in addition to the devaluation of the real against the dollar.

______________

* Leases refers to platforms.

In 2Q20, the post-salt lifting cost decreased 4.2% when compared to 1Q20, motivated by the devaluation of the real against the dollar, which offset higher expenses with interventions.

In shallow water, we observed a drop in the lifting cost of 41% between the quarters of 2020, motivated by the mothballing of fields and the devaluation of the exchange rate.

Onhsore, the devaluation of the real and lower operating and maintenance expenses, explain the drop in the lifting cost compared to 1Q20.

In 2Q20, the lower production taxes was mainly caused by the lower Brent prices.

In 2Q20, refining's gross profit was R$ 4.5 billion higher compared to 1Q20, as a result of the steep reduction in Brent prices in March, causing a positive inventory turnover effect in the comparison between periods of R$ 4.2 billion (negative inventory turnover effect of R$ 6.7 billion in 1Q20 vs. a negative effect of R$ 2.5 billion in 2Q20).

Excluding the inventory turnover effect, gross profit would have been R$ 7 billion in the 2T20 and R$ 6.7 billion in the 1T20.

In 2Q20, there were lower margins of oil by-products in the domestic market, specially of diesel and jet fuel, as result of the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. These were partially offset by higher LPG margins. Sales volumes of Jet Fuel e Gasoline were also negatively impacted. As for exports, fuel oil, crude oil and diesel had lower margins between quarters and were partially offset by the increase in the gasoline export margins. On the other hand, we had lower operational expenses, lower expenses with the consumption of natural gas used in refineries and higher trading margins.

The lower operating loss in 2Q20 reflects the higher gross profit, partially offset by higher freight prices and higher operating expenses due to the incentives granted for the voluntary dismissal plan, unscheduled maintenance stoppages in refineries and legal proceedings.

In 2Q20, the gross profit of the Gas and Power segment was R$ 4.8 billion, an increase of 6.2% when compared to 1Q20, mainly due to a positive effect in the exchange rate on the remuneration for processing rich gas by the natural gas treatment plants. There were also better margins in energy sales contracts, due to the active management of the commercial energy portfolio and the reduction in the spot prices. In 2Q20, there was a reduction in the volume of natural gas sold, due to the pandemic, and a lower volume of electricity generation due to the lower load on the Electric System and better hydrological conditions.

Despite the higher gross profit in 2Q20, operating profit was R$ 222 million lower than 1Q20 due to higher operating expenses, as a result of a partial reversal of the provision for losses in 1Q20 (R$ 331 million). The provision for loss related to FAFEN-SE, had been previously constituted and was reversed after a judicial agreement with SERGAS and the government of Sergipe for the termination of the process related to the distribution tariff.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

 

EBITDA is an indicator calculated as the net income for the period plus taxes on profit, net financial result, depreciation and amortization. Petrobras announces EBITDA, as authorized by CVM Instruction 527 of October 2012.

In order to reflect the management view regarding the formation of the company's current business results, EBITDA is also presented adjusted (Adjusted EBITDA) as a result of: investments, impairment, results with divestments and write-off of assets, and cumulative exchange effects of (CTA) reclassified to income.

Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting the sum of the last twelve months (Last Twelve Months), also represents an alternative to the company's operating cash generation. This measure is used to calculate the Gross Debt to Adjusted EBITDA metric, helping to evaluate the company's leverage and liquidity.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not provided for in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and should not serve as a basis for comparison with those disclosed by other companies and should not be considered as a substitute for any other measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. These measures should be considered in conjunction with other measures and indicators for a better understanding of the company's performance and financial condition.
