BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.a) Applicable accounting framework

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 are presented in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. Therefore, they should be read together with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2023 (“annual consolidated financial statements”) presented in U.S. dollars and in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements corresponding to the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 are unaudited. The Company believes they include all necessary adjustments to reasonably present the results of each period on a basis consistent with the audited annual consolidated financial statements. Net Income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 does not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Group’s full-year net income.

2.b) Material accounting policies

The material accounting policies are described in Note 2.b) to the annual consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, except for the valuation policy for income tax detailed in Note 18.

Functional currency

As mentioned in Note 2.b.1) to the annual consolidated financial statements, YPF has defined the U.S. dollar as its functional currency.

The consolidated financial statements used by YPF for statutory, legal and regulatory purposes in Argentina are those in pesos and filed with the CNV and approved by the Board of Directors and authorized to be issued on August 8, 2024.

Share-based benefit plans

The Group maintains share-based benefit plans with the characteristics mentioned in Note 37 of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements and Note 37 to the annual consolidated financial statements. Such plans are recorded in accordance with the guidelines set out in IFRS 2 “Share-based Payments”.

 

  -

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions are recognized as a straight-line expense over the period of service based on the Group’s estimate of the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest considering their fair value at the grant date, with an offsetting credit entry in the “Share-based benefit plans” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. At the end of each period, the Group reviews its estimate according to the number of equity instruments it expects will vest based on the grant conditions specified under the respective benefit plan.

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

 

  -

Cash-settled share-based payment transactions are recognized as a straight-line expense over the period of service based on the Group’s estimate of the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest with an offsetting entry in the “Salaries and social security” line item in the statement of financial position, measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized in net income in the statement of comprehensive income. At the end of each period, the Group reviews its estimate according to the number of equity instruments it expects will vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if applicable, is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as from January 1, 2024

The Company has adopted all new and revised standards and interpretations, issued by the IASB, relevant to its operations which are of mandatory and effective application as of June 30, 2024, as described in Note 2.b.14) to the annual consolidated financial statements.

Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB as of January 1, 2024 whose application is not mandatory at the closing date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements and have not been adopted by the Group

In accordance with Article 1, Chapter III, Title IV of the CNV Rules, the early application of the IFRS and/or their amendments is not permitted for issuers filing financial statements with the CNV, unless specifically admitted by such agency.

 

 

IFRS 18 “Presentation and disclosure in financial statements”

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements”, with the objective of providing better information on the financial performance of entities, improving their comparability, which is applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

IFRS 18 introduces the following information requirements that can be grouped into 2 main groups:

 

  -

Group income and expenses into 3 defined categories: (i) operating; (ii) financing and (iii) investing, and include certain defined subtotals, such as the operating result and the result before financing and income tax, with the aim of improving the comparability of the statement of comprehensive income.

  -

Provide more information about the performance measures defined by management, which, although not mandatory, in the event of including this type of measures, the entity must disclose the reason why said measures are useful to financial statements users, their method of calculation, a reconciliation between to the most directly comparable subtotal from the statement of comprehensive income, among others.

Additionally, IFRS 18 establishes more detailed guidance on how to organize information within the financial statements and whether it should be provided in the primary financial statements or in the notes, with the aim of improving the grouping of information in the financial statements.

As of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Group is in the process of evaluating the effects of the application of IFRS 18.

 

 

IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without public accountability: Disclosures”

In May 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19 with the objective of allowing the option to apply simplified disclosure requirements in the financial statements of subsidiaries without public accountability and with a parent company, ultimate or intermediate, that prepares consolidated financial statements for public use in accordance with IFRS. Its application is optional for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

Amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” - Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 related to certain issues regarding the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 and the disclosure requirements of IFRS 7, which are applicable for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026:

 

  -

Introduce an accounting policy option for the derecognition of a financial liability when settlement is made through an electronic payment system and certain conditions are met.

  -

Clarify on certain assessments that an entity must perform on its financial assets, for example to determine whether a financial instrument contains contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, or whether it also contains covenants of a contingent nature that could significantly change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows.

  -

Establish amendments to an entity’s disclosures about investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and the requirement to disclose contractual terms that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows in certain circumstances.

As of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Group is in the process of evaluating the effects of the application of these amendments.

 

 

Annual Improvements to IFRS - Volume 11

In July 2024, the IASB issued the cycle of annual improvements Volume 11 which are applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. In general terms, the improvements include amendments and/or clarifications on certain paragraphs, delete, add and/or update cross-references, replace terms and align the wording between different accounting standards, among others.

A summary of the main modified standards follows:

AS OF JUNE 30, 2024 AND COMPARATIVE INFORMATION

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except for shares and per share amounts expressed in United States dollars, or as otherwise indicated)

 

2.

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

 

2.c) Significant estimates and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing the financial statements at a certain date, the Group is required to make estimates and assessments affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and the contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recognized in the period. Actual future profit or loss might differ from the estimates and assessments made at the date of preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The assumptions relating to the future and other sources of uncertainty about the estimates made for the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used by the Group in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, which are disclosed in Note 2.c) to the annual consolidated financial statements.

2.d) Comparative information

Amounts and other information corresponding to the year ended December 31, 2023 are an integral part of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements and are intended to be read only in relation to these financial statements. Amounts corresponding to the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 presented in these financial statements for comparison purposes correspond to the functional currency of the company according to IAS 21 (see Note 2.b)).

Additionally, from this fiscal year, the Group has made a change in the presentation of the items in the “Financial results, net” line item in the statement of comprehensive income (see Note 29). This change is intended to provide more relevant and detailed information on the origin of financial results and the effects of transactions or conditions that affect the financial situation, financial performance, and cash flows of the Group such as interests and exchange differences generated by loans, among others; and improve the comparability of the Group’s financial statements with its peers.

 

3.

SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS

Historically, the Group’s results have been subject to seasonal fluctuations throughout the year, particularly as a result of the increase in natural gas sales during the winter driven by the increased demand in the residential segment. Consequently, the Group is subject to seasonal fluctuations in its sales volumes and prices, with higher sales of natural gas during the winter at higher prices.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS

Dissolution of the company YPF International

On May 6, 2024, the Plurinational Service of Registry of Commerce (“SEPREC” by its acronym in Spanish) of Bolivia approved the dissolution and liquidation of YPF International.

5.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: Market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Within the Group, risk management functions are conducted in relation to financial risks associated to financial instruments to which the Group is exposed during a certain period or as of a specific date.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant changes in the administration or policies of risk management implemented by the Group as described in Note 4 to the annual consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Liquidity risk management

Most of the Group’s loans contain market-standard covenants for contracts of this nature, which include financial covenants in respect of the Group’s leverage ratio and debt service coverage ratio, and events of defaults triggered by materially adverse judgements, among others. See Notes 16, 32 and 33 to the annual consolidated financial statements and Notes 17 and 33.

The Group monitors compliance with covenants on a quaterly basis. As of June 30, 2024, the Group is in compliace with its covenants.

It should be noted that, under the terms and conditions of the loans that our subsidiary Metrogas has taken, the interest coverage ratio would not have been complied with, which could have accelerated the maturities of these financial liabilities. However, the financial creditors formally accepted to waive Metrogas from complying with the contractual obligation related to such financial ratio, as of June 30, 2024.

The carrying amount of the assets may be adjusted in future periods depending on the results of the disposition process conducted by YPF and the financial consideration to be agreed with third parties for such assets. In addition, the closing of such dispositions will be subject to the fulfillment of customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory approvals.

AS OF JUNE 30, 2024 AND COMPARATIVE INFORMATION

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except for shares and per share amounts expressed in United States dollars, or as otherwise indicated)

 

18. INCOME TAX

According to IAS 34, income tax expense is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the effective income tax rate expected as of the closing date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, considering the tax criteria that the Group assumes to apply during the fiscal year. If the estimate of such rate is modified based on new elements of judgment, the income tax expense could require adjustments in subsequent periods.

In relation to such tax criteria, the income tax expense contemplates the application of the integral inflation adjustment mechanism applicable to property, plant and equipment, and the indexation of the accumulated tax losses carryforward until the concurrence of the projected tax result of the fiscal year 2024, all considering that the assumption of confiscation would be verified in accordance with the jurisprudence of the CSJN in force as of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

The Company considers having strong arguments to successfully defend such assumed tax criteria, in the event of a possible controversy with the tax authorities, in accordance with the guidelines of IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over income tax treatments”. As of June 30, 2024, the assumed tax criteria generates a profit of 336.

The income tax charge for the six-month period ending June 30, 2024 is a profit of 200. The amount accrued for the six-periods ending June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

 

     For the six-month periods ended
June 30,
     2024   2023

Current income tax

     (32)       (26)

The reconciliation between the income tax charge for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and the one that would result from applying the prevailing tax rate on net profit or loss before income tax arising from the condensed interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income for each period is as follows:

 

     For the six-month periods ended

31. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s capital amounts to 3,919 and treasury shares amount to 14 represented by 393,312,793 book-entry shares of common stock and divided into four classes of shares (A, B, C and D), with a par value of 10 pesos and 1 vote per share. These shares are fully subscribed, paid-in and authorized for stock exchange listing.

As of June 30, 2024, there are 3,764 Class A outstanding shares. As long as any Class A share remains outstanding, the affirmative vote of the Argentine Government is required for: (i) mergers; (ii) acquisitions of more than 50% of YPF shares in an agreed or hostile bid; (iii) transfers of all the YPF’s production and exploration rights; (iv) the voluntary dissolution of YPF; (v) change of corporate and/or tax address outside Argentina; or (vi) make an acquisition that would result in the purchaser holding 15% or more of the Company’s capital stock, or 20% or more of the outstanding Class D shares. Items (iii) and (iv) also require prior approval by the Argentine Congress.

On April 26, 2024, the General Shareholders’ Meeting was held, which approved the statutory financial statements of YPF (see Note 2.b)) corresponding to the year ended on December 31, 2023 and, additionally, approved the following in relation to the retained earnings: (i) completely disaffect the reserve for future dividends, the reserve for purchase of treasury shares and the reserve for investments; (ii) absorb accumulated losses in unappropriated retained earnings and losses up to the amount of 1,003,419 million of pesos (US$ 1,244 million); (iii) allocate the amount of 28,745 million of pesos (US$ 36 million) to constitute a reserve for purchase of treasury shares; and (iv) allocate the amount of 3,418,972 million of pesos (US$ 4,236 million) to constitute a reserve for investments.

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not repurchased any of its own shares.

32. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table shows the net profit or loss and the number of shares that have been used for the calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share:

 

     For the six-month periods ended
June 30,
     2024          2023

Net profit

     1,168                    676    

Weighted average number of shares outstanding

     391,859,461          391,491,562  

Basic and diluted earnings per share

     2.98          1.73  

There are no YPF financial instruments or other contracts outstanding that imply the existence of potential ordinary shares, thus the diluted earnings per share matches the basic earnings per share.

33. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

33.a) Contingent assets

The Group has no significant contingent assets.

33.b) Contingent liabilities

33. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (cont.)

 

33.b.2) Contentious claims

Contentious claims are described in Note 33.b.2) to the annual consolidated financial statements. Updates for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, are described below:

 

 

Petersen Energía Inversora, S.A.U. and Petersen Energía, S.A.U. (collectively, “Petersen”) - Eton Park Capital Management, L.P., Eton Park Master Fund, LTD. and Eton Park Fund, L.P. (collectively, “Eton Park”, and together with Petersen, the “Plaintiffs”)

The appeals filed by the parties in these proceedings (see Note 33 to the annual consolidated financial statements) will be fully briefed by September 6, 2024. After the briefing is completed, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals will set a date for oral argument.

On April 1, 2024, Plaintiffs filed a turnover motion, which became public (and accessible to YPF) on April 22, 2024. This motion requests that the District Court order the Republic to turn over the YPF Class D shares held by the Republic to Plaintiffs in partial satisfaction of the District Court’s judgment against the Republic in this proceeding.

Plaintiffs and the Republic completed their briefing on the turnover motion on July 8, 2024. The District Court may, but is not required to, hold oral argument prior to rendering a decision on the turnover motion. Furthermore, the District Court’s decision on the turnover motion may be appealed by Plaintiffs or the Republic in accordance with applicable procedural rules. YPF is not a party to the turnover motion.

Plaintiffs are also seeking discovery of documents from YPF related to their theory that YPF could be an “alter ego” of the Republic. YPF denies that it is an alter ego and objected to Plaintiffs’ document requests. On May 28, 2024, the District Court ordered YPF to produce documents in response to Plaintiffs’ discovery requests. To date, Plaintiffs have not requested that the District Court find that YPF is an alter ego of the Republic, and the District Court’s order on discovery is not a ruling accepting Plaintiffs’ alter ego theory.

YPF will continue to defend itself in accordance with the applicable legal procedures and available defenses.

The Company will continue to reassess the status of the litigation and its possible impact on the results and financial situation of the Group, as needed.

34. CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS

34.a) Exploitation concessions, transport concessions and exploration permits

The most relevant agreements, exploitation concessions, transport concessions and exploration permits that took place in the year ended December 31, 2023 are described in Note 34.a) to the annual consolidated financial statements. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant updates.

34.b) Investment agreements and commitments and assignments

The most relevant investment agreements and commitments and assignments are described in Note 34.b) to the annual consolidated financial statements. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant transactions.

  -

Establishes that exploration permit holders and/or exploitation concessionaires, refiners and/or marketers may freely export hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives, subject to the SE’s non-objection. The effective exercise of this right will be subject to regulations issued by the PEN, which, among other aspects, must consider: (i) the usual requirements related to the access to technically proven resources; and (ii) that the eventual objection of the SE may only be formulated within 30 days of being informed of the exports to be made, and must be based on technical or economic reasons related to the security of supply.

 

  -

Incorporates hydrocarbon processing and natural gas storage activities, for which the national or provincial Executive Branch, as the case may be, may grant storage and/or processing authorizations.

 

  -

Changes the legal figure of “transport concession” to the figure of “transport authorization”.

 

  -

Establishes that exploitation concessions and transportation concessions granted prior to the enactment of the Base Law will continue to be governed until their expiration by the legal framework existing at the date of approval of the Bases Law.

 

  -

Determines that in exploitation concession bidding processes the royalties to be paid to the application authority will be offered by the concessionaire, determining that the royalty to be offered will be 15% plus or minus a percentage to be chosen by the bidder.

 

  -

Other modifications establish that: (i) the request for conversion of a conventional exploitation concession into a non-conventional exploitation concession will only be available until December 31, 2028 and its term will be 35 years without extensions; (ii) for new exploitation concessions, the national or provincial Executive Branch, as applicable, at the time of defining the terms and conditions of the bidding, may determine in a reasoned manner other terms of up to 10 years more than those provided for in the Hydrocarbons Law; (iii) owners of projects and/or facilities for the conditioning, separation, fractionation, liquefaction and/or any other hydrocarbon industrialization process may request an authorization to transport hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives to their industrialization facilities and from the same to subsequent industrialization or commercialization process centers and/or facilities; (iv) those authorized to process hydrocarbons must process hydrocarbons from third parties up to a maximum of 5% of the capacity of their facilities; and (v) the fee for each square kilometer or fraction thereof that a holder of an exploration permit must pay annually and in advance shall be calculated according to a scale determined by the price of a barrel of oil quoted on the “Frontline ICE Brent”.

The PEN is entrusted with regulating natural gas exports following the same terms and conditions as for liquid hydrocarbon exports as described in Note 35.a.1).

 

  -

Establishes a special regime for long-term firm export authorizations for liquefied natural gas.

 

  -

Incorporates the figure of “underground natural gas storage authorizations in depleted natural hydrocarbon reservoirs”.

 

  -

Contemplates the possibility for the providers of public natural gas distribution and transportation services to request the renewal of their licenses for an additional 20-year period.

 

  -

35.c.2) Regulatory requirements applicable to natural gas distribution

Tariff schemes and tariff renegotiations

On April 3, 2024, ENARGAS Resolution No. 120/2024 was published in the BO, approving the transition tariff tables and rates and charges for services to be applied by Metrogas as from such date, and the tariff update formula applicable on such transition tariff tables as from May 2024. On May 27, 2024, the tariff updates corresponding to May, June and July 2024 were postponed by instruction of the SE to ENARGAS, which generated an objection by Metrogas to such instructions.

On June 6, 2024, ENARGAS Resolution No. 260/2024 was published in the BO, approving the transition tariff tables and rates and charges for services to be applied by Metrogas as from such date. See Note 35.d).

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

On 5 June 2024, SE Resolution No. 93/2024 was published in the BO, which approved natural gas prices at the PIST in U.S. dollars corresponding to the awarded volumes entered into within the framework of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 which will be applicable for natural gas consumptions from June 2024 and leaves without effect the instruction to ENARGAS to issue tariff schemes that reflect on a monthly basis the variation of the exchange rate of the prices of natural gas to be transferred to the tariff schemes. See Note 35.c.2).

35.e) Investment incentive programs

Large Investment Incentive Regime (“RIGI”)

The Bases Law (see Note 35.j)) created the RIGI, intended to encourage large investments with tax, customs and exchange benefits, guaranteeing legal certainty and the protection of acquired rights. This regime seeks to encourage investments, promote economic development, create employment and strengthen local production chains.

The RIGI is aimed at investment projects in the forestry industry, tourism, infrastructure, mining, technology, iron and steel, energy and oil and gas sectors, with a minimum investment per sector or subsector or productive stage equal to or greater than a range between US$ 200,000,000 up to US$ 900,000,000 in computable assets, as established by the application authority. Interested parties have 2 years to adhere to the RIGI, submitting and obtaining the approval of an investment plan by the application authority.

The benefits of the RIGI include a 25% income tax rate, accelerated amortization of investments, non-expirable tax loss carryforwards, indexing tax losses by the Internal Wholesale Price Index (“IPIM”) published by the INDEC, and exemptions from import and export duties, among others. In addition, foreign exchange incentives are established, such as the free availability of foreign currency on a staggered basis obtained from exports and certain flexibility related to financing. The RIGI guarantees tax, customs and foreign exchange regulatory stability for 30 years from accession, protecting investment projects from more burdensome legislative changes.

35.h) Regulations related to the Foreign Exchange Market

Updates to the regulatory framework described in Note 35.g) to the annual consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, are described below:

On April 18, 2024, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 7,994 which allows the possibility of applying the collection of exports to the payment of capital and interest on financial debts abroad that are settled in the Foreign Exchange Market from April 19, 2024 and as long as the following conditions are met: (i) the average life of the debt is not less than 3 years; and (ii) the first capital payment is not made before the year it was entered and settled in the Foreign Exchange Market; and established the possibility of not filing for the BCRA’s prior approval process more than 3 days before the maturity of the capital and interest for access to the Foreign Exchange Market when debt payments abroad are anticipated and as long as the following conditions are met: (i) the access occurs simultaneously with the settlement of a new financial debt granted by a local financial entity from a line of credit from abroad as of April 19, 2024; (ii) the average life of the new debt is greater than the average remaining life of the anticipated debt; and (ii) the accumulated amount of principal maturities of the new indebtedness does not exceed the accumulated amount of principal maturities of the anticipated debt.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2024 AND COMPARATIVE INFORMATION

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except for shares and per share amounts expressed in United States dollars, or as otherwise indicated)

36. BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (cont.)

 

In addition, the Company performed an external benchmark analysis of the Board of Directors’ fees and compensation of first-line executives. The conclusions were presented to the Compensation and Nomination Committee and, as a result, the components of the total compensation package were aligned with YPF’s strategic plan and market standards for local and international listed companies of similar magnitude.

As detailed in Note 37, a “Value Generation Plan” applicable to eligible members of YPF’s Management and a variable compensation based on results (“CVR”) which applies to 100% of the Company’s employees, with the exception of the President and CEO and commercial agents, were implemented.

37. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND SIMILAR OBLIGATIONS

Note 37 to the annual consolidated financial statements describes the main characteristics and accounting treatment for employee benefit plans and similar obligations implemented by the Group.

Retirement plan

The amount charged to expense related to the Retirement Plan was 2 and 1 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Performance bonus programs

These programs cover certain of the Group’s personnel and are paid in cash. These bonuses are mainly based on compliance with VPs and related management objectives. They are calculated considering the annual compensation of each employee and certain key factors related to the fulfillment of these objectives. As of 2024, a new variable bonus program based on corporate results (“CVR”) was implemented. This will be paid based on the Group’s net profit before income tax, if it is positive.

The amount charged to expense related to the performance bonus programs was 97 and 60 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Share-based benefit plans

In April 2024, the Company adopted the “Value Generation Plan”, which is a long-term remuneration program for eligible members of management of YPF with the objective of incentivizing extraordinary results in the long term and retaining key employees. Under this Plan, the Company granted 4.6 million performance stock appreciation rights (“PSARs”) to plan participants comprising key employees of the Company. The PSARs provide beneficiaries the opportunity to receive an award to be settled in cash equivalent to the appreciation in the value of the common shares of the Company over a specified period of time. The amount to be paid upon exercise is the difference between the per share base price determined by the plan and the per share market value of the Company’s common shares as of the exercise date. The PSARs expire five years after their grant and begin to vest in the third year, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including performance milestones related to the price of the Company’s common shares ranging from a minimum of US$ 30 per common share up to US$ 60 per common share. The beneficiaries of the PSARs are also required to remain in the Company for three years from the granting of the plan. The PSARs granted by the Company have a base price of US$ 16.17 per share, resulting in a weighted average fair value of US$ 8.75 per PSAR as of the granting date. The Value Generation Plan was approved by the Compensation and Nomination Committee of the Company with the support of a management consulting firm (Mercer) which advised on its design and implementation.

As of June 30, 2024, there are 4.6 million number of PSARs outstanding with and a weighted average fair value of US$ 9.03 per PSARs.

PSARs expense is determined based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. Fair value is calculated using Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s shares, expected term and risk-free interest rate.

The amount charged to expense in relation with Value generation Plan was 2, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024.

The amount charged to expense in relation with the remainder of the share-based plans was 2 and 1 to be settled in equity instruments, and 9 and 11 to be settled in cash, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 2.b) describes the accounting policies for share-based benefit plans. Repurchases of treasury shares are disclosed in Note 31.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.a) Applicable accounting framework

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 are presented in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. Therefore, they should be read together with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2023 (“annual consolidated financial statements”) presented in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Moreover, some additional information required by the LGS and/or CNV’s Rules have been included.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements corresponding to the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 are unaudited. The Company believes they include all necessary adjustments to reasonably present the results of each period on a basis consistent with the audited annual consolidated financial statements. Net Income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 does not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Group’s full-year net income.

2.b) Material accounting policies

The material accounting policies are described in Note 2.b) to the annual consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, except for the valuation policy for income tax detailed in Note 18.

Functional and presentation currency

As mentioned in Note 2.b.1) to the annual consolidated financial statements, YPF has defined the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Additionally, in accordance with the provisions of the LGS and the CNV Rules, the Company must present its financial statements in pesos.

Share-based benefit plans

The Group maintains share-based benefit plans with the characteristics mentioned in Note 37 of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements and Note 37 to the annual consolidated financial statements. Such plans are recorded in accordance with the guidelines set out in IFRS 2 “Share-based Payments”.

 

  -

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions are recognized as a straight-line expense over the period of service, based on the Group’s estimate of the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest considering their fair value at the grant date, with an offsetting credit entry in the “Share-based benefit plans” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. At the end of each period, the Group reviews its estimate according to the number of equity instruments it expects will vest based on the grant conditions specified under the respective benefit plan.

  -

Cash-settled share-based payment transactions are recognized as a straight-line expense over the period of service based on the Group’s estimate of the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest with an offsetting entry in the “Salaries and social security” line item in the statement of financial position, measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized in net income in the statement of comprehensive income. At the end of each period, the Group reviews its estimate according to the number of equity instruments it expects will vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if applicable, is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as from January 1, 2024

The Company has adopted all new and revised standards and interpretations, issued by the IASB, relevant to its operations which are of mandatory and effective application as of June 30, 2024, as described in Note 2.b.14) to the annual consolidated financial statements.

Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB as of January 1, 2024 whose application is not mandatory at the closing date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements and have not been adopted by the Group

In accordance with Article 1, Chapter III, Title IV of the CNV Rules, the early application of the IFRS and/or their amendments is not permitted for issuers filing financial statements with the CNV, unless specifically admitted by such agency.

 

 

IFRS 18 “Presentation and disclosure in financial statements”

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements”, with the objective of providing better information on the financial performance of entities, improving their comparability, which is applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

IFRS 18 introduces the following information requirements that can be grouped into 2 main groups:

 

  -

Group income and expenses into 3 defined categories: (i) operating; (ii) financing and (iii) investing, and include certain defined subtotals, such as the operating result and the result before financing and income tax, with the aim of improving the comparability of the statement of comprehensive income.

 

  -

Provide more information about the performance measures defined by management, which, although not mandatory, in the event of including this type of measures, the entity must disclose the reason why said measures are useful to financial statements users, their method of calculation, a reconciliation between to the most directly comparable subtotal from the statement of comprehensive income, among others.

Additionally, IFRS 18 establishes more detailed guidance on how to organize information within the financial statements and whether it should be provided in the primary financial statements or in the notes, with the aim of improving the grouping of information in the financial statements.

As of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Group is in the process of evaluating the effects of the application of IFRS 18.

 

 

IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without public accountability: Disclosures”

In May 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19 with the objective of allowing the option to apply simplified disclosure requirements in the financial statements of subsidiaries without public accountability and with a parent company, ultimate or intermediate, that prepares consolidated financial statements for public use in accordance with IFRS. Its application is optional for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

Amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” - Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 related to certain issues regarding the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 and the disclosure requirements of IFRS 7, which are applicable for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026:

 

  -

Introduce an accounting policy option for the derecognition of a financial liability when settlement is made through an electronic payment system and certain conditions are met.

 

  -

Clarify on certain assessments that an entity must perform on its financial assets, for example to determine whether a financial instrument contains contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, or whether it also contains covenants of a contingent nature that could significantly change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows.

 

  -

Establish amendments to an entity’s disclosures about investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and the requirement to disclose contractual terms that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows in certain circumstances.

As of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Group is in the process of evaluating the effects of the application of these amendments.

 

 

Annual Improvements to IFRS - Volume 11

In July 2024, the IASB issued the cycle of annual improvements Volume 11 which are applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. In general terms, the improvements include amendments and/or clarifications on certain paragraphs, delete, add and/or update cross-references, replace terms and align the wording between different accounting standards, among others.

2.c) Significant estimates and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing the financial statements at a certain date, the Group is required to make estimates and assessments affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and the contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recognized in the period. Actual future profit or loss might differ from the estimates and assessments made at the date of preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The assumptions relating to the future and other sources of uncertainty about the estimates made for the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used by the Group in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, which are disclosed in Note 2.c) to the annual consolidated financial statements.

2.d) Comparative information

Amounts and other information corresponding to the year ended December 31, 2023 and to the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 are an integral part of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements and are intended to be read only in relation to these financial statements. Likewise, changes in comparative figures as mentioned in Notes 6 and 25 as mentioned in Note 5 to the annual consolidated financial statements have been made.

Additionally, from this fiscal year, the Group has made a change in the presentation of the items in the “Financial results, net” line item in the statement of comprehensive income (see Note 29). This change is intended to provide more relevant and detailed information on the origin of financial results and the effects of transactions or conditions that affect the financial situation, financial performance, and cash flows of the Group such as interests and exchange differences generated by loans, among others; and improve the comparability of the Group’s financial statements with its peers. The comparative information for the period ended June 30, 2023 has been restated. The comparative information for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 has been restated. “Financial income” line item in the statement of comprehensive income decreased by 272,899 and 165,603, for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively; “Financial costs” line item in the statement of comprehensive income decreased by 210,516 and 128,162, for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively; and “Other financial results” line item in the statement of comprehensive income increased by 62,383 and 37,441, for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively. This change had no effect on the Group’s statements of financial position, statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, statements of cash flows, Net financial results and net profit or loss.

3.  SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS

Historically, the Group’s results have been subject to seasonal fluctuations throughout the year, particularly as a result of the increase in natural gas sales during the winter driven by the increased demand in the residential segment. Consequently, the Group is subject to seasonal fluctuations in its sales volumes and prices, with higher sales of natural gas during the winter at higher prices.

4.  ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS

Dissolution of the company YPF International

On May 6, 2024, the Plurinational Service of Registry of Commerce (“SEPREC” by its acronym in Spanish) of Bolivia approved the dissolution and liquidation of YPF International.

5.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: Market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Within the Group, risk management functions are conducted in relation to financial risks associated to financial instruments to which the Group is exposed during a certain period or as of a specific date.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant changes in the administration or policies of risk management implemented by the Group as described in Note 4 to the annual consolidated financial statements.

 

   Liquidity risk management

Most of the Group’s loans contain market-standard covenants for contracts of this nature, which include financial covenants in respect of the Group’s leverage ratio and debt service coverage ratio, and events of defaults triggered by materially adverse judgements, among others. See Notes 16, 32 and 33 to the annual consolidated financial statements and Notes 17 and 33.

The Group monitors compliance with covenants on a quaterly basis. As of June 30, 2024, the Group is in compliace with its covenants.

It should be noted that, under the terms and conditions of the loans that our subsidiary Metrogas has taken, the interest coverage ratio would not have been complied with, which could have accelerated the maturities of these financial liabilities. However, the financial creditors formally accepted to waive Metrogas from complying with the contractual obligation related to such financial ratio, as of June 30, 2024.

6.  BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The different business segments in which the Group’s organization is structured consider the different activities from which the Group can obtain revenues and incur expenses. Such organizational structure is based on the way in which the chief decision maker analyzes the main operating and financial magnitudes for making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment, also considering the business strategy of the Group.

Business segment information is presented in U.S. dollars, the functional currency of the Company (see Note 2.b)), consistently with the manner of reporting the information used by the chief decision maker to allocate resources and assess business segment performance.

The business segment structure is organized as follows:

 

 

Upstream

Fair value estimates

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, there have been no changes in macroeconomic circumstances that significantly affect the Group’s financial instruments measured at fair value.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, there were no transfers between the different hierarchies used to determine the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments.

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

The estimated fair value of loans, considering unadjusted listed prices (Level 1) for NO and interest rates offered to the Group (Level 3) for the remaining financial loans, amounted to 7,616,501 and 6,090,387 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The fair value of other receivables, trade receivables, investments in financial assets, cash and cash equivalents, other liabilities and accounts payable at amortized cost, do not differ significantly from their book value.

18. INCOME TAX

According to IAS 34, income tax expense is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the effective income tax rate expected as of the closing date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, considering the tax criteria that the Group assumes to apply during the fiscal year. If the estimate of such rate is modified based on new elements of judgment, the income tax expense could require adjustments in subsequent periods.

In relation to such tax criteria, the income tax expense contemplates the application of the integral inflation adjustment mechanism applicable to property, plant and equipment, and the indexation of the accumulated tax losses carryforward until the concurrence of the projected tax result of the fiscal year 2024, all considering that the assumption of confiscation would be verified in accordance with the jurisprudence of the CSJN in force as of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

The Company considers having strong arguments to successfully defend such assumed tax criteria, in the event of a possible controversy with the tax authorities, in accordance with the guidelines of IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over income tax treatments”. As of June 30, 2024, the assumed tax criteria generates a profit of 289,917.

The income tax charge for the six-month period ending June 30, 2024 is a profit of 172,891. The amount accrued for the six-periods ending June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

 

    

For the six-month periods

ended June 30,

 

 

     2024          2023  

Current income tax

     (29,105 )          (6,534 )  

Deferred income tax

     201,996          (29,781
     172,891          (36,315

The reconciliation between the income tax charge for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and the one that would result from applying the prevailing tax rate on net profit or loss before income tax arising from the condensed interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income for each period is as follows:

31. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s capital amounts to 3,919 and treasury shares amount to 14 represented by 393,312,793 book-entry shares of common stock and divided into four classes of shares (A, B, C and D), with a par value of 10 pesos and 1 vote per share. These shares are fully subscribed, paid-in and authorized for stock exchange listing.

As of June 30, 2024, there are 3,764 Class A outstanding shares. As long as any Class A share remains outstanding, the affirmative vote of the Argentine Government is required for: (i) mergers; (ii) acquisitions of more than 50% of YPF shares in an agreed or hostile bid; (iii) transfers of all the YPF’s production and exploration rights; (iv) the voluntary dissolution of YPF; (v) change of corporate and/or tax address outside Argentina; or (vi) make an acquisition that would result in the purchaser holding 15% or more of the Company’s capital stock, or 20% or more of the outstanding Class D shares. Items (iii) and (iv) also require prior approval by the Argentine Congress.

On April 26, 2024, the General Shareholders’ Meeting was held, which approved the statutory financial statements of YPF corresponding to the year ended on December 31, 2023 and, additionally, approved the following in relation to the retained earnings: (i) completely disaffect the reserve for future dividends, the reserve for purchase of treasury shares and the reserve for investments; (ii) absorb accumulated losses in unappropriated retained earnings and losses up to the amount of 1,003,419; (iii) allocate the amount of 28,745 to constitute a reserve for purchase of treasury shares; and (iv) allocate the amount of 3,418,972 to constitute a reserve for investments.

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not repurchased any of its own shares.

32. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table shows the net profit or loss and the number of shares that have been used for the calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share:

 

     For the six-month periods
ended June 30,
 
        2024                  2023     

Net profit

     994,465           132,293   

Weighted average number of shares outstanding

     391,859,461               391,491,562   

Basic and diluted earnings per share

     2,537.81           337.92   

There are no YPF financial instruments or other contracts outstanding that imply the existence of potential ordinary shares, thus the diluted earnings per share matches the basic earnings per share.

33.a) Contingent assets

The Group has no significant contingent assets.

33.b) Contingent liabilities

33. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (cont.)

 

33.b.2) Contentious claims

Contentious claims are described in Note 33.b.2) to the annual consolidated financial statements. Updates for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 are described below:

 

  Petersen Energía Inversora, S.A.U. and Petersen Energía, S.A.U. (collectively, “Petersen”) - Eton Park Capital Management, L.P., Eton Park Master Fund, LTD. and Eton Park Fund, L.P. (collectively, “Eton Park”, and together with Petersen, the “Plaintiffs”)

The appeals filed by the parties in these proceedings (see Note 33 to the annual consolidated financial statements) will be fully briefed by September 6, 2024. After the briefing is completed, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals will set a date for oral argument.

On April 1, 2024, Plaintiffs filed a turnover motion, which became public (and accessible to YPF) on April 22, 2024. This motion requests that the District Court order the Republic to turn over the YPF Class D shares held by the Republic to Plaintiffs in partial satisfaction of the District Court’s judgment against the Republic in this proceeding.

Plaintiffs and the Republic completed their briefing on the turnover motion on July 8, 2024. The District Court may, but is not required to, hold oral argument prior to rendering a decision on the turnover motion. Furthermore, the District Court’s decision on the turnover motion may be appealed by Plaintiffs or the Republic in accordance with applicable procedural rules. YPF is not a party to the turnover motion.

Plaintiffs are also seeking discovery of documents from YPF related to their theory that YPF could be an “alter ego” of the Republic. YPF denies that it is an alter ego and objected to Plaintiffs’ document requests. On May 28, 2024, the District Court ordered YPF to produce documents in response to Plaintiffs’ discovery requests. To date, Plaintiffs have not requested that the District Court find that YPF is an alter ego of the Republic, and the District Court’s order on discovery is not a ruling accepting Plaintiffs’ alter ego theory.

YPF will continue to defend itself in accordance with the applicable legal procedures and available defenses.

The Company will continue to reassess the status of the litigation and its possible impact on the results and financial situation of the Group, as needed.

34. CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS

34.a) Exploitation concessions, transport concessions and exploration permits

The most relevant agreements, exploitation concessions, transport concessions and exploration permits that took place in the year ended December 31, 2023 are described in Note 34.a) to the annual consolidated financial statements. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant updates.

The most relevant investment agreements and commitments and assignments are described in Note 34.b) to the annual consolidated financial statements. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant transactions.

YPF SOCIEDAD ANONIMA

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2024 AND COMPARATIVE INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

(Amounts expressed in millions of Argentine pesos, except for shares and per share amounts expressed in Argentine pesos, or as otherwise indicated)

36. BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (cont.)

 

In addition, the Company performed an external benchmark analysis of the Board of Directors’ fees and compensation of first-line executives. The conclusions were presented to the Compensation and Nomination Committee and, as a result, the components of the total compensation package were aligned with YPF’s strategic plan and market standards for local and international listed companies of similar magnitude.

As detailed in Note 37, a “Value Generation Plan” applicable to eligible members of YPF’s Management and a variable compensation based on results (“CVR”) which applies to 100% of the Company’s employees, with the exception of the President and CEO and commercial agents, were implemented.

37. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND SIMILAR OBLIGATIONS

Note 37 to the annual consolidated financial statements describes the main characteristics and accounting treatment for employee benefit plans and similar obligations implemented by the Group.

Retirement plan

The amount charged to expense related to the Retirement Plan was 1,680 and 395 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Performance bonus programs

These programs cover certain of the Group’s personnel and are paid in cash. These bonuses are mainly based on compliance with VPs and related management objectives. They are calculated considering the annual compensation of each employee and certain key factors related to the fulfillment of these objectives. As of 2024, a new variable bonus program based on corporate results (“CVR”) was implemented. This will be paid based on the Group’s net profit before income tax, if it is positive.

The amount charged to expense related to the performance bonus programs was 86,072 and 13,417 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Share-based benefit plans

In April 2024, the Company adopted the “Value Generation Plan”, which is a long-term remuneration program for eligible members of management of YPF with the objective of incentivizing extraordinary results in the long term and retaining key employees. Under this Plan, the Company granted 4.6 million performance stock appreciation rights (“PSARs”) to plan participants comprising key employees of the Company. The PSARs provide beneficiaries the opportunity to receive an award to be settled in cash equivalent to the appreciation in the value of the common shares of the Company over a specified period of time. The amount to be paid upon exercise is the difference between the per share base price determined by the plan and the per share market value of the Company’s common shares as of the exercise date. The PSARs expire five years after their grant and begin to vest in the third year, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including performance milestones related to the price of the Company’s common shares ranging from a minimum of US$ 30 per common share up to US$ 60 per common share. The beneficiaries of the PSARs are also required to remain in the Company for three years from the granting of the plan. The PSARs granted by the Company have a base price of US$ 16.17 per share, resulting in a weighted average fair value of US$ 8.75 per PSAR as of the granting date. The Value Generation Plan was approved by the Compensation and Nomination Committee of the Company with the support of a management consulting firm (Mercer) which advised on its design and implementation.

37. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND SIMILAR OBLIGATIONS (cont.)

 

As of June 30, 2024, there are 4.6 million number of PSARs outstanding with and a weighted average fair value of US$ 9.03 per PSARs.

PSARs expense is determined based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. Fair value is calculated using Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s shares, expected term and risk-free interest rate.

The amount charged to expense in relation with Value generation Plan was 2,162 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024.

The amount charged to expense in relation with the remainder of the share-based plans was 1,986 and 238 to be settled in equity instruments, and 8,265 and 2,299 to be settled in cash, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 2.b) describes the accounting policies for share-based benefit plans. Repurchases of treasury shares are disclosed in Note 31.
