Argentina's YPF reports lower third-quarter net profit
Wed Nov 7, 2012 6:29am EST
* Net profit falls 51 percent year-on-year
* Market expected quarterly earnings of 902.5 million
Nov 7 (Reuters) - YPF, Argentina's state-controlled energy company, reported a third-quarter net profit of 756 million pesos ($161 million) on Wednesday, down 51 percent from a year earlier and trailing market expectations.
President Cristina Fernandez seized control of YPF from Spain's Repsol in April, accusing the Spanish oil company of investing too little and making Argentina increasingly reliant on pricey imports.
In a filing to the stock market regulator, YPF - the country's biggest energy company - said the quarterly net income figure reflected a deferred tax payment valued at 408 million pesos.
Four analysts polled by Reuters had forecast the net profit at a median of 902.5 million pesos, with estimates ranging from 877.7 million to 932 million pesos.
YPF aims to boost oil and natural gas production by 32 percent by the end of 2017, reversing years of declining hydrocarbon output, by stepping up investments in Latin America's energy-hungry No. 3 economy.
The company's new chief executive officer has said that will require some $37.2 billion.
Wednesday's statement said investments in the first nine months of 2012 had risen 18.7 percent to 9.67 billion pesos from a year earlier, when the company was still controlled by Repsol.
"This increase is mainly due to the increase in upstream activity and advances and conclusions in downstream projects," YPF said.
Operating profit fell 31.2 percent to 1.79 billion pesos.

YPF: fundraising just got harder
October 31, 2012 8:58 pm by Jude Webber
A US appeals court ruling that Argentina must treat its defaulted and performing debt equally not only leaves it staring at the unappealing prospects of default or paying the “vultures” it has vowed to scorn forever. It also risks scuppering nationalised oil company YPF’s ability to raise funds internationally.
That, at least, is the view of some financial experts in Buenos Aires.
Take Guillermo Nielsen, who as finance secretary worked on Argentina’s first debt swap after its 2001 default on nearly $100bn. As he told beyondbrics:
A year ago, financing YPF was part of the Repsol’s problem [Argentina expropriated 51 per cent of YPF from Repsol in May without compensation]. Now it’s the government’s problem. There’s no way Galuccio is going to get the money. It was already a difficult task. Now, after this ruling, you see credit ratings downgrading Argentina and YPF is … government-owned. (Getting financing) is almost an impossible task.
And here is Miguel Kiguel, an economist:
Argentina wants to get money for YPF. All these problems are a sword of Damocles – any big investors will see that.
Miguel Galuccio, YPF CEO, talked himself blue in the face in 70 meetings with investors in the US and England in September, briefing them on his ambitious plans for the company. YPF says the “non-deal roadshow” went well – he is a seasoned oilman, after all, and his technical expertise is well respected.
But if investors find it hard enough to contemplate a country where foreign exchange restrictions make it tough to repatriate earnings; where the very expropriation of YPF underscores the perceived fragility of contracts; and where inflation statistics are accused of having been doctored for five years; the holdout ruling will do nothing to reassure them.
YPF, which came back from the roadshow full of optimism that its message had got through, had no immediate comment.
Argentina has vowed neither to pay what it calls “vulture funds” seeking to collect in full on debt it bought after the default at a knock-down price, nor to default – something it could be forced to do if payments made to the performing bonds issued in debt swaps in 2005 and 2010 to replace the defaulted debt have to be shared among holders of defaulted debt as well.
Argentina is sticking to its guns – but while it is still in default with the Paris Club of Western creditor nations, has not paid its share of a separate holdout case at the World Bank arbitration tribunal and has litigation over the YPF expropraiton looming over it, international investors could hardly be blamed for not making a beeline to Buenos Aires. Ratings downgrades, like the one on Tuesday from Standard & Poor’s won’t help.
And there’s more. Plaintiffs seeking to collect on a $19bn judgment against Chevron in Ecuador are now filing to attach assets in Argentina and Colombia.
Why should that matter to YPF? Well, it is trying to tie up a deal with Chevron to help it develop its giant Vaca Muerta shale resources. Any embargo may not affect the partnership, but it could presumably affect Chevron’s ability to plough in investment.
A Chevron spokesman says its investment strategies are not affected by the plaintiffs’ bids to collect on the judgment by squeezing its assets worldwide, and would not be drawn on the implications for the YPF partnership or how much protection an alliance with a state-owned company might afford. YPF also had no immediate comment on whether its planned partnership with Chevron would be affected.

Ecuador to Sue Chevron in Argentina to Enforce Judgment
By Pablo Gonzalez on October 31, 2012
Ecuadorean plaintiffs will ask an Argentine court to enforce a $19 billion award against Chevron Corp. (CVX) in a lawsuit over pollution in the Amazon rain forest by seizing the company’s local assets, a lawyer for the group said.
An attachment order will be filed as soon as tomorrow in a Commercial Court of Justice in Buenos Aires, Pablo Fajardo, the Ecuadorean lawyer who represents the group, said today at a press conference in Buenos Aires. The group will ask to seize Chevron’s local Argentine unit, dividends, oil sales income and the company’s bank accounts in Argentina, Enrique Bruchou, an Argentine attorney with Bruchou, Fernandez, Madero & Lombardi, said at the same press conference.
The Ecuadoreans blame Texaco Inc., which Chevron acquired in 2001, for destroying the environment in the Lago Agrio region, damaging living conditions of 30,000 inhabitants.
Chevron, based in San Ramon, California, on Oct. 9 lost a U.S. Supreme Court bid to block the judgment imposed by an Ecuadorean court. The highest U.S. court let stand a federal appeals court ruling against Chevron that the Ecuadoreans can’t be barred from seeking to collect the award anywhere in the world.
“The Ecuador judgment is a product of bribery, fraud, and it is illegitimate,” Chevron said today in an e-mailed response. “The company does not believe that the Ecuador judgment is enforceable in any court that observes the rule of law.”
Shale Partnership
The Ecuadorean group also plans to file an attachment order asking a Colombian court to do the same as the Argentine court, Bruchou said. Seizures may be expedited because of a treaty between the Latin American nations, he said.
Another related lawsuit was filed by the Ecuadoreans in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto on May 30.
Chevron, the fourth-largest producer of oil in Argentina, signed a memorandum of understanding on Sept. 14 with YPF SA (YPF), Argentina’s biggest energy company, to analyze a partnership to jointly develop projects at the shale formation of Vaca Muerta.
“Any attachment of Chevron assets should not affect YPF but any proceeds from the partnership belonging to Chevron will become attachable,” Bruchou said. Alejandro Di Lazzaro, a YPF spokesman in Buenos Aires, declined to comment in an e-mail.
The Ecuadorean group estimates Chevron’s assets in Argentina at $2 billion, Bruchou said. The Argentine assets include a minority ownership in local pipeline Oleoductos del Valle SA. Chevron’s Colombian assets that may be attached include natural gas sales, which represent about two-thirds of the country’s production, Bruchou said.
Chevron Canada Ltd. will have a hearing on the lawsuit Nov. 28 in the Ontario Superior Court, Alan Lenczner, an attorney for the Ecuadoreans based in Toronto, said in a telephone interview today.
