BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.a) Basis of preparation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of YPF and its subsidiaries for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, are presented in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2017 prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Furthermore, some additional information required by the LGS and/or regulations of the CNV was included. This information is contained in the Notes to these condensed interim consolidated financial statements only to comply with regulatory requirements.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors’ meeting and authorized to be issued on August 7, 2018.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements corresponding to the six-month period ended on June 30, 2018 are unaudited. The Company´s Management believes they have included all necessary adjustments to reasonably present the results of each period on a basis consistent with the audited annual consolidated financial statements. Profit for the six-month period ended on June 30, 2018 does not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Group’s full-year profit.

Financial information of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in hyperinflationary economies

The financial statements of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures have been prepared based on the historical cost model, except for certain assets that were measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The IAS 29 “Financial information in hyperinflationary economies” requires the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy, regardless whether they are based on the historical cost method or the fair value method, be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the applicable reporting period, computing therefor the inflation experienced as from the acquisition date, in the case of non-monetary items measured at cost or at cost minus accrued depreciation; or as from the revaluation date, in the case of non-monetary items measured at current values on dates prior to the closing date for the period being reported. As a consequence, if, during an inflationary period, monetary assets exceed monetary liabilities, the entity will lose purchasing power, and if monetary liabilities exceed monetary assets, the entity will earn purchasing power, provided such items are not subject to an adjustment mechanism.

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

 

To these effects, while the standard does not set a single inflation rate which, when exceeded, would determine the existence of a hyperinflationary economy, for this purpose, it is a generalized practice to consider a variation that approaches or exceeds the 100% accrued in the last three years, together with a series of qualitative factors related to the macroeconomic environment. To determine the inflation rate, the IAS 29 requires using a general price index reflecting the changes in the currency general purchasing power. In Argentina, accounting professionals agree that the wholesale price index (WPI) estimated by the INDEC is the most adequate to determine such rate.

The inflation accrued in the last three years as of June 30, 2018 is above the 100% previously mentioned, and both the available estimates and other qualitative and quantitative factors indicate this trend will not revert in the short term.

Therefore, the Argentine economy must be considered hyperinflationary in accordance with the IAS 29; and the entities subject to the CNV tender offer regime, whose functional currency is the Peso, should restate their financial statements as from the interim period initiated on July 1, 2018, with retroactive application as if the said economy had always been hyperinflationary. However, for the CNV to accept the restated financial statement in accordance to the IAS 29 requirements, certain changes in the CNV rules related to the impossibility to accept financial statements restated due to inflation as per the provisions of Decree No. 664/2003 of the PEN are necessary.

As of the issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company’s Management is evaluating the requirements set forth in the IAS 29 regarding those subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures whose functional currency is the Peso.

2.b) Significant Accounting Policies

The most significant 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 16.

Also, in compliance with the entry into force of IFRS 15 and the changes in IFRS 9 (as revised in 2014), effective as of January 1, 2018, the Group modified the accounting policy for the disclosure of revenue from ordinary activities arising from contracts with customers as well as the accounting policy applied to the impairment and provision for doubtful trade receivables and other doubtful receivables and contract assets, both described in this Note.

Functional and reporting 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, according to CNV Resolution No. 562, YPF must present its financial statements in Pesos.

Adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of January 1, 2018

The Group 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, 2018, as specified in Note 2.b.25 to the annual

consolidated financial statements. The aforementioned new and revised standards and interpretations that affected these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are described below:

 

 

IFRS 15 – Revenue from ordinary activities arising from contracts entered into with customers

This standard presents a detailed five-step model to explain the revenues from contracts with customers. It is mainly based on the principle that the entity has to recognize the revenues to represent the transfer of goods or services promised to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services at the time a performance obligation is satisfied. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control over that asset, with control defined as the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset.

It has also introduced more prescriptive indications:

 

   

If the contract (or a combination of contracts) contains more than one promised good or service, when and how the goods and services should be delivered.

 

   

If the transaction price distributed to each performance obligation should be recognized as income over the course of a period of time or at a certain point in time. Under IFRS 15, an entity recognizes revenue when an obligation is performed, namely, when the control of the goods and services which has a particular obligation is transferred to the customer. The new model does not include separate guidelines for the “sale of goods” and the “provision of services”. Instead, it requires that entities evaluate whether the revenue should be recognized over a period of time or at a given point in time, regardless of whether the said revenue includes “the sale of goods” or “the provision of services”.

 

   

Where the transaction price contains an estimation of variable payments, how the amount and the time will affect the recognition of revenue. The concept of estimation of variable consideration is broad. A transaction price is considered variable on account of discounts, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, penalties and contingency agreements. The new model introduces a major condition for a variable consideration to be recognized as revenue: only until it is highly improbable that a significant change in the accumulated revenue amount will occur, once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration has been resolved.

 

   

When the incurred costs to execute a contract and the costs to perform it may be recognized as an asset.

Within this regulatory framework, contracts with customers were analyzed, the main ones being:

 

   

Contracts for the sale of fuel in consignment;

 

   

Contracts for the direct sale of fuel;

 

   

Contracts for the sale of natural gas;

 

   

Contracts and agreements for the sale of other refined products;

 

   

Construction contracts.

In the first four types of contracts, related to the sale of goods, income is recognized when the control of the goods is transferred to the customer. Even in the case of consignment contracts, income is not recognized until the good is sold to the intermediary’s customer. It is emphasized that in these contracts there are no performance obligations that are separate or different from the delivery of goods.

In the case of the construction contracts, income is recognized considering the estimated final margin for each project that arises from technical studies on sales and the estimated total costs of each of them, as well as their physical progress. In this type of contract, performance obligations are satisfied over time.

The Group has adopted the full retrospective method for the implementation of this standard, which has not affected the accounting policies related to the recognition of revenues from contracts with customers, as explained in Note 2.b.11 to the annual consolidated financial statements, and therefore the initial retained earnings have not been affected either.

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

 

The Group has adopted the standard’s terminology, identifying “Contract Assets” and “Contract Liabilities”. Thus, certain reclassifications have been made in the statements of financial position in the comparative amounts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as shown below:

 

     Amounts as of December 31,

     —          —          1,470       1,460       1,470        1,460  

Additionally, IFRS 15 introduces requirements aimed at providing new disaggregation of information to be disclosed. Based on the revenue analysis carried out by the Company’s Management, Note 20 has been broken down by (i) type of good or service; (ii) sales channels, and (iii) target market, according to the reported business segments.

 

 

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments

The criteria and requirements defined by the standard may be divided into three groups:

Classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities

The Group adopted IFRS 9 as of the transition date in accordance with the regulations in force in 2013, which dealt with everything related to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. With respect to the application of IFRS 9 (as revised in 2014), based on the Company’s analysis of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and on the prevailing facts and circumstances on the respective dates, its application did not have any impact on the accounting treatments described in the Notes 2.b.2 and 2.b.14 to the annual consolidated financial statements regarding the issues mentioned in this paragraph.

Hedge Accounting:

The general hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 maintain the three types of hedge accounting mechanisms included in IAS 39. However, the eligible types of hedge accounting transactions are now much more flexible, especially by expanding the types of instruments that are classified as hedging instruments and the types of risk components of non-financial elements ideal for hedge accounting.

Additionally, the effectiveness test has been reviewed and replaced by the principle of “economic relationship”. A retrospective evaluation is no longer required to measure the effectiveness of coverage. Many more disclosure requirements have been added regarding the entity’s risk management activities.

The entry into force of this standard related to hedge accounting has not had any impact because the Group has not carried out these types of transactions as of the end of this period or in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Impairment methodology

The impairment model provided under IFRS 9 reflects expected credit losses, as opposed to credit losses incurred under IAS 39. Within the scope of impairment under IFRS 9, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to occur before credit losses are recognized. In contrast, an entity always records both the expected credit losses and their changes. The amount of expected credit losses must be updated on the issuance date of each financial statement in order to reflect any changes in credit risk since initial recognition.

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

 

The Group estimated the impairment of its financial assets and contract assets based on the simplified model, by preparing a matrix per category and dividing the assets into groups based on the type of customer: i) related parties, ii) public sector and iii) private sector. These groups were subsequently divided into sub-groups based on special characteristics indicative of the repayment capacity, such as i) payment arrears, ii) existence of guarantees, iii) existence of a judicial proceeding already initiated or in process of initiation for collection purposes, among others. Once each Group was defined, an expected bad-debt rate was assigned based on historical default rates adjusted to future economic conditions.

Thus, the accounting policy related to the impairment of financial assets described in Note 2.b.2 to the annual consolidated financial statements was replaced. Under that policy the impairment of a financial asset was recorded only when there was an objective evidence of the impairment of the asset, based on the difference between the book value of the asset and the current value of the estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

In compliance with the exception provided under IFRS 9, the Group has retroactively applied the changes in the standard, without restating the comparative amounts. Therefore, the difference between the previous accounting amounts and the new initial amounts resulting from the initial application of the standard were recognized as an adjustment in the “Retained Earnings” as of January 1, 2018. The information disclosed for 2017 reflects the requirements set forth in IAS 39, and not those of IFRS 9 in relation to impairment of financial assets. The implementation of the impairment method introduced by the standard generated a loss of 425 with the consequent effect on the deferred tax of 127. The net effect shown in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity was of 298, which was not significant for the financial position and/or performance of the Group.

 

 

IFRS 16 – Leases

On January 1, 2019 the Group will adopt IFRS 16. The Group has started a project for its implementation with the purpose of covering the assessment process, the development of accounting policies and the impacts on the key performance indicators and key financial metrics, among others.

In the transition process, the Group intends to use the modified retrospective approach allowed by IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019 without restating the comparative figures.

IFRS 16 introduces a revised definition of a lease. As the Group does not intend to use the practical exemption introduced by the standard, it will assess all existing contracts under the new definition.

Even though the impacts assessment of IFRS 16 are still ongoing, the adoption of the standard will increase the recognized assets and liabilities, and, also, will impose additional disclosure requirements. Moreover, the Group expects changes both in the presentation and the time of recognition of the charges in the statements of comprehensive income, since the operating lease expense currently reported under IAS 17 will be substituted by the depreciation of the right-of-use asset and the interest on the lease liability.

2.c) Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements at a certain date requires Management to make estimates and assessments affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded, contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recorded during the period. Actual future results might differ from the estimates and assessments made as of the date of preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, significant estimates and judgments were made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty were consistent with those applied by the Group in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, which are disclosed in Notes 2.b and 2.c to the annual consolidated financial statements.

Provisions for impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

As explained in Notes 2.b.8 and 2.b.9 to the annual consolidated financial statements, as a general criterion, the method employed to estimate the recoverable value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets mainly consists of calculating the value in use, based on the expected future cash flows derived from the use of those assets, discounted at a rate that reflects the weighted average cost of the capital used.

Regarding interim periods, IAS 34 provides that an entity is bound to review the impairment test. Where an entity has previously recognized impairment losses, a review of the detailed estimates as of the period end is required if the indicators giving rise to such losses persist. In this respect, the entity is required to check if significant indicators of impairment or reversal exists since the last fiscal year end and to establish the need to carry out or not such detailed test.

The Company has assessed changes in relevant factors with mixed effects, mainly arising from changes in foreign and domestic factors affecting the country (the rise in brent crude oil price, the potential reductions in costs in U.S. dollars due to the devaluation that took place in the second quarter and their impact on operating costs and investments, the situation regarding the process of implementation of the market conditions related to import parity due to the aforementioned events both for fuel and crude oil prices, the increase in country risk and its effect on the country’s borrowing cost, among others) and it has concluded that given the volatility of the variables involved and the present uncertainty, it may not be asserted with reasonable assurance that those potential changes are indicators that will affect the long-term cash flows projections on which the fair value of the CGU Oil is based as of the closing of this period.

2.d) Comparative information

Amounts and other information corresponding to the year ended on December 31, 2017 and to the six-month period ended on June 30, 2017 are an integral part of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements and are intended to be read only in relation to these financial statements.

Additionally, certain amounts in the statement of financial position have been reclassified due to the accounting policy changes mentioned in paragraph b) of this Note.

 

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. After the devaluation of the Peso in 2002, and as a consequence of the natural gas price freeze imposed by the Argentine government, the use of natural gas has been diversified, generating an increase in demand throughout the entire year. However, the recent adjustment in gas prices, which also affects the residential market where the demand has shown certain susceptibility to the price of gas, may lead the Group to seasonal fluctuations in its sales volumes and prices, which might adversely affect the level of production and sale of natural gas.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

 

 

Agreement for YPF EE’s capitalization

On March 20, 2018 GE EFS Power Investments B.V., a subsidiary of EFS Global Energy B.V (both companies indirectly controlled by GE Energy Financial Services, Inc.;jointly “GE”), subscribed YPF EE shares representing 24.99% of its capital stock. Since then, GE EFS Power Investments and YPF jointly control YPF EE, undertaking to contribute as follows:

 

   

Subscription price of US$ 275 million:

 

   

US$ 135 million on the closing date of the transaction; and

 

   

US$ 140 million 12 months after the closing date of the transaction.

 

   

Contingent price of up to the maximum sum of US$ 35 million subject to the evolution of the electric market prices (33.33% as of 24 months from the closing date of the transaction and 16.67% each subsequent year).

In this way, the capital structure of YPF EE after the issuance of shares is as follows:

 

Shareholder

   Number of
Shares
     Participation in

As a result of this process, the Group reflected the investment in YPF EE in its annual consolidated financial statements as assets and liabilities held for disposal in separate lines from the rest of the assets and liabilities, given that as of that date they had met all the requirements for this classification. (See Note 2.b.24 and Note 3 to the annual consolidated financial statements).

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS (Cont.)

 

As a result of the implementation of IFRS 10 and the aforementioned capitalization process of YPF EE, the Group recorded a gain of 11,980 (11,879 through YPF and 101 through OPESSA) included in the item “Other net operating results”, which includes a gain of 13,552 (13,451 through YPF and 101 through OPESSA) due to the dilution of its interest in YPF EE with the consequent loss of control over it and the subsequent revaluation of its residual interest (3,438 y 10,114, respectively) and a loss of 1,572 (fully corresponding to YPF) for the reversal to net profit for the period of the balance accrued from the investment translation in this Company.

In order to determine the fair value of the investment in YPF EE, the Group has considered all the elements available as of the date of these financial statements, including the best estimation of the occurrence of the contingent payments provided in the operation. However, for the measurement of this fair value the Group has a term of one year to evaluate all the facts and circumstances existing as of the transaction date that might modify such measurement.

Regarding the participation held after the aforementioned transaction, the Group has followed the guidelines of IFRS 10 “Consolidated financial statements” and has concluded that from the entry of GE in YPF EE, GE and YPF jointly control YPF EE. Consequently, the Group applied IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” defining such company as a joint venture, and measured it according to the equity method under the IAS 28 “Investments in associates and joint ventures”.

Some of the main evaluated assumptions are described below:

 

  (i)

Any decisions about the relevant activities of YPF EE thereof are to be taken jointly, there being no power of one shareholder over the other in relation to such activities, regardless of the different percentages of equity interests held in YPF EE by each of them. Although the Group owns a 75.00001% stake in YPF EE, according to the shareholders’ agreement, the following is required for decision-making purposes regarding the relevant activities: the approval of at least one Director appointed by each class of shares at the meeting of the Board of Directors and the approval of each class of shares for the adoption of such decisions at the Shareholders’ meeting;

 

  (ii)

No shareholder has any power, as defined in IFRS 10, to the detriment of any other, independently of the number of Directors or personnel (key or not) appointed by each class of shares, in the management of the Company for its own benefit or to unilaterally modify the variable investment returns or ultimately, to unilaterally direct any of the decisions associated with the relevant activities.

 

5.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group maintains an organizational structure and systems that allow for the identification, measurement and adoption of the necessary actions in order to minimize the risks to which it is exposed.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures on financial risk management. Therefore, they should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements.

There have been no significant changes in the risk management or risk management policies applied by the Group since the last fiscal year end. See Note 4 to the annual consolidated financial statements. Likewise, see Note 17 and Note 30 to these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The different segments in which the Group is organized take into consideration the different activities from which the Group obtains income and incurs expenses. The organizational structure is based on the way in which the highest decision-making authority analyzes the main financial and operating magnitudes for making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment also considering the Group’s business strategy.

 

 

Upstream

The Upstream segment carries out all activities relating to the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas.

Revenue is generated from (i) the sale of produced oil to the Downstream segment and, marginally, from its sale to third parties; and (ii) the sale of produced gas to the Gas and Power segment.

 

 

Gas and Power

The Gas and Power segment generates its revenue from the development of activities relating to: (i) the natural gas commercialization to third parties and the Downstream segment, (ii) the commercial and technical operation of LNG regasification terminals in Bahía Blanca and Escobar, by hiring two regasification vessels, and (iii) the natural gas distribution. Additionally, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, it included the generation of conventional and renewable electricity.

In addition to the proceeds derived from the sale of natural gas to third parties and the intersegment, which is then recognized as a “purchase” to the Upstream segment, and including Stimulus Plans for Natural Gas production in force (see Note 30 to the annual consolidated financial statements), Gas and Power accrues a fee in its favor with the Upstream segment to carry out such commercialization.

 

 

Downstream

The Downstream segment develops activities relating to: (i) oil refining and petrochemical production, (ii) commercialization of refined and petrochemical products obtained from such processes, and (iii) logistics related to the transportation of oil and gas to refineries and the transportation and distribution of refined and petrochemical products to be marketed in the different sales channels.

It obtains its income from the marketing mentioned in item (ii) above, which is developed through the Retail, Industry, Agro, LPG, Chemicals and Lubricants and Specialties businesses.

It incurs all expenses related to the aforementioned activities, including the purchase of oil from the Upstream segment and third parties and the natural gas to be consumed in the refinery and petrochemical industrial complexes from the Gas and Power segment.

 

 

Central Administration and Others

It covers other activities, not falling into the aforementioned categories, mainly corporate administrative expenses and assets and construction activities.

Sales between business segments were made at internal transfer prices established by the Group, which generally seek to approximate domestic market prices.

Operating profit and assets for each segment have been determined after consolidation adjustments.

The Group has no financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Fair value estimates

From December 31, 2017 until June 30, 2018, there have been no significant changes in the commercial or economic circumstances affecting the fair value of the Group’s assets and financial liabilities, whether measured at fair value or amortized cost, except as mentioned in Note 30.c.

Furthermore, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, 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 Negotiable Obligations and interest rates offered to the Group (Level 3) in connection with the remaining financial loans amounted to 255,396 and 200,264 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

The fair value of other receivables, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other liabilities do not differ significantly from their book value.

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 year-end. Amounts calculated for income tax expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 may need to be adjusted in the subsequent period if, based on new factors of judgment, the estimate of the effective expected income tax rate changes.

The calculation of the income tax expense accrued for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

 

     For the six-month period
ended June 30,
 
     2018      2017  

Current income tax

     (307      (287

Deferred income tax

     (33,319      (1,118
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
     (33,626      (1,405
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The reconciliation between the charge to income for income tax for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the one that would result from applying the prevailing tax rate on net profit before income tax arising from the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for each year is as follows:

LOANS (Cont.)

 

On February 8, 2018, Metrogas entered into an unsecured loan with (i) Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited - Dubai Branch and (ii) Itaú Unibanco - New York Branch (“financial creditors”), for the amount of US$ 250 million for a term of 36 months and payable in 9 quarterly installments as from month 12 from the disbursement date (the “Loan”).

The Loan includes (i) an interest payable on a quarterly basis at a LIBOR rate plus an annual nominal margin of (a) 3.00% for the first 12 months; (b) 3.50% from month 13 to month 18; (c) 3.75% from month 19 to month 24; and (d) 4.00% from month 25 to maturity.

On February 27, 2018, Metrogas used the funds, mainly, to redeem all NO at a redemption price equal to 100% of the capital amount of the NO to redeem, plus interest accrued and due, and all other amounts pending to the redemption date.

According to the terms and conditions of the loan, Metrogas must meet a series of financial commitments generally set forth for this type of transactions, including certain restrictions which, among others, and in general terms, are listed below:

 

  a)

Indebtedness: Metrogas (or its subsidiaries) will not allow to incur, assume or secure any debt, except in indebtedness cases due to refinancing to keep its current financial debt or when the indebtedness is not above U$S 50 million, among others.

 

  b)

Restricted payments: Metrogas may not make any restricted payments, considering, among others, the payment of dividends, except the PEN has given final approval of the License Renegotiation Agreement. In turn, during the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2018, the amount to pay due to dividends may not exceed 10% of the net result for this year, and 60% for the following years; and also the Debt/EBITDA indicator shall not be higher than twice the EBITDA.

 

  c)

Financial indicators: Metrogas shall keep an Interest Hedge indicator, this being EBITDA/finance interest indicator higher than 3.00; the Debt/EBITDA indicator may not be higher than 3.00 until June 30, 2018, and higher than 2.50 from that date until the contract maturity date; Metrogas’ shareholders’ equity at each quarterly closing until September 30, 2018 may not be lower than 8,000, from that date until September 30, 2019 it may not be lower than 9,200, from that date until September 30, 2020, it may not be lower than 10,120 and, from that date until the end of the contract, it may not be lower than 11,132.

Under the original terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, some of the financial indicators of paragraph c) were not achieved as of June 30, 2018, which might have accelerated the maturity dates of the financial assets.

Notwithstanding the above, on June 30, 2018, the financial creditors formally provided a waiver in respect of Metrogas’ compliance with said financial indicators.

Due to YPF’s commitments, the Company has analyzed Metrogas’ aforementioned situation and has determined that it has no impact on its obligations.

Controversy on cost deduction due to well abandonment

On June 15, 2018, YPF was notified of the start of a determination process corresponding to fiscal year 2010 by means of Resolution No 53/2018, which dismissed the Company’s presentation. Such resolution was appealed before the Federal Tax Court on July 10, 2018.

Additionally, on July 24, 2018, the AFIP initiated an audit corresponding to the fiscal year 2017.

 

 

Controversy due to customs duties

On April 18, 2018, the Company was notified of the judgement rendered by the Federal Appeals’ Court No. IV which ruled that the fines imposed by the customs authority of Neuquén were condoned, due to the fact that there were no export duties and that the fine under section 954 c) of the Customs Code was applicable, instead. The Federal Appeal Court IV pointed out that, since export duties or exchange controls are no longer applicable, the discussion had become exclusively a formal matter and, therefore, the benefit provided for in section 56 of Act No. 27,260 was applicable. The Customs authority filed an extraordinary appeal before CSJN.

MAIN REGULATIONS AND OTHERS

Main regulations and others are described in Note 30 to the annual consolidated financial statements. Updates for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 are described below:

30.a) Regulatory requirements of liquid hydrocarbon

Agreement of fuel prices and local crude oil

On May 8, 2018, the MINEM and the refining companies (among them, YPF) entered into a price stabilization agreement with a compensatory account, whereby the refining companies undertook not to modify fuel prices (net of taxes) in force as of such date during the months of May and June, in order to benefit the general economic interest which, in turn, would have potential effects on the Company.

Moreover, the agreement included the creation of a compensatory account which incorporated the distortion in prices in terms of international reference prices accrued as of the date of the agreement, together with the adjustments resulting from additional cost variations (crude oil, exchange rate and biofuel price) which would not be transferred to prices during the months of May and June. The agreement set forth that such compensatory account would be transferred to the market through price increases during the second semester or, otherwise, the MINEM undertook the commitment to find mechanisms so that the refining companies may recover such difference.

On June 1, 2018, the MINEM and the refining companies (among them YPF) entered into a supplementary agreement that considered to establish a Brent reference price for crude oil purchases among refining and producing companies for the months of May (66 US$/bbl), June (67 US$/bbl) and July (68 US$/bbl), 2018, and an increase in final prices of gasolines and gasoil of up to 5% and 4.5%, respectively, as from June 2, 2018, which included the variation in the liquid fuel tax, the carbon dioxide tax and the prices of biofuel prevailing as from that date. Additionally, an increase in an amount of up to 3% in the consumer prices of fuels, net of any variation in taxes, was expected to take place during the month of July.

On June 29, 2018, in face of the volatility and significant change in the variables that were the basis for the agreements above mentioned, YPF informed the MINEM on the decision to implement as from July 1, 2018, the applicable commercial policies according to the changes in the variables stated above, both for determination of sales prices of its products and of those for the purchase of crude oil, in accordance with the evolution of the general business environment and the evolution of customers in particular, consistent with the regulatory framework and current provisions. Consequently, the aforementioned agreements have ceased to be in force for YPF as from June 30, 2018; however, the Company has submitted the resulting amounts in the compensatory account to the relevant authorities, which represent contingent rights as of the date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

30.b) Regulatory natural gas requirements

 

 

Winter consumption financing program

On March 27, 2018, a memorandum of intent was signed with ENARGAS, natural gas producers, distribution and transportation companies in order to commit efforts aimed at the development of a natural gas winter consumption financing program jointly with the subscribing parties.

On June 12, 2018, ENARGAS Resolution No 97/2018 was published in the Official Gazette, which sets forth the Natural Gas Winter Consumption Financing Program (the “Program”). Adherence to the Program by beneficiary users is optional and voluntary. In accordance with the terms of the Program, the residential and commercial consumers of natural gas full service may hereunder finance payment of 25% of the invoices issued between July 1 and October 31, 2018. The interest rate applicable to this option will be the BNA deposit rate for electronic means for the non-financial private sector for 30-day deposits for the month prior to the one being invoiced. Accrued financing and interest thereon shall be recovered through the regular invoices issued after November 1, 2018, and for three succeeding consecutive periods for bimonthly customers and for six consecutive periods for monthly customers. Financing will involve each of the activity segments (gas, transport and distribution), and it is exceptional for the winter of 2018.

 

 

Mechanisms for allocation of natural gas demand

Transport and distribution systems

On June 29, 2018, ENARGAS Resolution No. 124/2018 was published in the Official Gazette which (i) approves the amended and restated internal regulations for dispatch centers as from June 30, 2018; (ii) derogates ENARGAS Resolutions No. I-1410/10, I-3833/16 and I-4502/17; (iii) sets forth its presumption that there are no observations by ENARGAS to the proposed rescheduling made by the Transportation companies if there is no communication to the contrary within 1 hour after it has been requested; and (iv) sets forth that the Temporary Procedure for Shipment Management in the Emergency Executive Committee shall be applicable during the winter of 2018.

Amendment to Basic Rules for the Distribution License

On March 28, 2018, MINEM Resolution No. 91/2018 was published in the Official Gazette. Such resolution unifies the terms for the adjustment due to variations in prices of the purchased gas or seasonal adjustment and the six-month adjustment of tariffs, providing that once the Transition period has elapsed, adjustments shall be seasonal, for the periods between April 1 to September 30 of each year, and between October 1 and March 31 of the following year.

Reduction for social tariff users

On May 23, 2018, MINEM Resolution 218/2018 was published in the Official Gazette (later instrumented by ENARGAS by means of Resolution No. 86/2018) which provides for suspension of the reduction criteria application for social tariff users set forth in Resolution No. 474/2017 for consumptions made in May and June 2018. For invoicing such consumption, the social tariff regime within the scope provided for in MINEM Resolution No. 28/2016 shall be applicable, to which end the 100% reduction of the natural gas price these users consume should be considered.

New maximum prices at the TSEP, per natural gas basin of origin, to be used in generation of electric power

On August 1, 2018, MINEM Resolution 46/2018 was published in the Official Gazette, which instructed the Under-Secretariat of Electric Energy to take the necessary measures for CAMMESA to implement competitive mechanisms aimed at securing the availability of gas for the production of electric energy, and established new maximum prices (20% lower than the then current prices) for natural gas at the TSEP, for each basin of origin, to be applied in order to estimate the cost of the natural gas volumes to be used in the production of electricity to be marketed on the WEM , or, generally, to be used in the provision of the electric power public distribution service from August 1, 2018.

Each company may choose to receive compensation under the approved procedure stating its accession within 20 business days from the publication of the resolution. It is required that the company waive any rights, actions, remedies, appeals, and claims, either administrative and/or judicial, based on the Program, except for: i) the objection to the administrative acts that determine the relevant compensation according to the Procedure; and ii) the failure to comply with the payments provided for under the Procedure for a minimum amount of 3 installments, at the option of each beneficiary Company.

The debt amount will be determined as follows: 85% of the dollar amount will be calculated according to the exchange rate at the time of the injection (“Program exchange rate”) and 15% of the dollar amount but devalued (multiplied by the quotient between the Program exchange rate and the exchange rate corresponding to the payment dates of the compensation resolutions already issued or the date of publication of Resolution 97/2018, as applicable). The debt will begin to be canceled as of January 2019 in 30 monthly and consecutive installments, in Pesos, at the monthly average reference rate set forth in the Communication A 3500 of the BCRA (Wholesale) of the month preceding each installment.

On May 3, 2018, the Group adhered to the aforementioned Procedure.

As a consequence of the foregoing, the Group recorded a gain of 804 included in the item “Net financial results”.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

 

Claim of the of Maxus Energy Corporation Liquidating Trust (“Liquidating Trust”)

The subsidiaries YPF Holdings and CLH Holdings, Inc. received notice of a lawsuit filed by the Liquidating Trust, which asserts alleged damages in an amount up to US$ 14,000 million, principally in connection with alleged claims purportedly related to corporate restructuring transactions the Company engaged in several years ago. The lawsuit was filed before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. YPF Holdings and CLH Holdings, Inc. will dispute such allegations and claims and will interpose all the necessary legal remedies and will exercise all defensive measures in accordance with the applicable legal procedure in order to defend themselves and their rights.

The lawsuit filed by the Liquidating Trust also asserts claims against YPF and YPF International, as well as against other non-affiliated companies of YPF. Although notice of the lawsuit has purportedly been sent to YPF and YPF International, YPF is currently reviewing the validity of the alleged service. If they are validly served with the lawsuit, YPF and YPF International will also dispute the allegations and claims in the lawsuit and will interpose the necessary legal remedies and will exercise the defensive measures in accordance with the applicable legal procedure in order to defend themselves and their rights.

 

 

Petersen Energía Inversora, S.A.U and Petersen Energía, S.A.U. companies (collectively, “Petersen”)

On July 10, 2018, the United States Court of Appeal for the Second Circuit issued a resolution confirming the proceedings should be initiated in the United States, but without rendering an opinion as to the main claim made against YPF and the Argentine Republic. The Company and the Argentine Republic appealed such resolution on July 24, 2018 requesting reconsideration by the Appeal Court that ruled (“Panel rehearing”) or a review of the resolution by the Appeal Court as a whole (“Rehearing en banc”).
