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
