Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A.—Petrobras

We have reviewed the interim consolidated statement of financial position of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A.—Petrobras and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2019, the related interim consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with IAS 34—Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 27, 2019, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2018, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Basis of preparation

 

1.1.

Statement of compliance and authorization of unaudited consolidated interim financial statements

These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared and presented in accordance with IAS 34 – “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They present the significant changes in the period, avoiding repetition of certain notes to the annual financial statements previously reported. Hence, they should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, which include the full set of notes.

At January 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 – Leases and IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. The changes in accounting policies arising from the application of these standards are presented in note 3.

In May 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the model for an additional sale of its interest in the subsidiary Petrobras Distribuidora (BR), carried out through a secondary public offering (follow-on) and, in July 2019, the preliminary prospectus was approved by the Brazilian Association of Financial and Capital Market Entities (“ANBIMA”). Accordingly, all the requirements were met to classify the assets and directly associated liabilities as a disposal group that is held for sale at June 30, 2019, in accordance with IFRS 5—Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Furthermore, this investment was classified as a discontinued operation, since it represents a separate major line of business. The consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 present net income, operating, investing and financing cash flows of BR in separate line items, as a net result of discontinued operations. Additionally, the consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 adjusted in a similar manner, to meet IFRS 5.

These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors in a meeting held on August 1, 2019.

 

1.2.

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of Petrobras and all of its Brazilian subsidiaries is the Brazilian Real. The functional currency of most of the Petrobras entities that operate outside Brazil is the U.S. dollar.

Petrobras has selected the U.S. dollar as its presentation currency to facilitate a more direct comparison to other oil and gas companies. The financial statements have been translated from the functional currency (Brazilian real) into the presentation currency (U.S. dollar). All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate at the date of the financial statements; income and expenses, as well as cash flows are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. All exchange differences arising from the translation of the consolidated financial statements from the functional currency into the presentation currency are recognized as cumulative translation adjustments (CTA) within accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

The “Lava Jato” (Car Wash) Operation and its effects on the Company

The Company has monitored the progress of investigations under the “Lava Jato” Operation and, in the preparation of these unaudited interim financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2019, did not identify any additional information that would affect the adopted calculation methodology to write off, in the third quarter of 2014, amounts overpaid for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. The Company will continue to monitor these investigations for additional information in order to assess their potential impact on the adjustment made.

In the second quarter of 2019, new leniency and plea agreements entitled the Company to receive funds with respect to compensation for damages, in the amount of US$ 79. This amount was accounted for as other income and expenses. Thus, the total cumulative amount recovered from the “Lava Jato” investigation through June 30, 2019 is US$ 991 (US$ 912 through December 31, 2018).

2.1.

Investigations involving the Company

On September 27, 2018, the Company settled the open matters with the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation concerning the Company’s internal controls, books and records, and financial statements from 2003 to 2012.

These agreements fully resolve the inquiries carried out by these authorities. Following this agreement, the Company paid US$ 85 to the DoJ in 2018 and the same amount to the SEC in the first quarter of 2019. Additionally, the agreements also credit a remittance of US$ 683 to the Brazilian authorities, which Petrobras deposited in January 2019 into a court deposit account. The Company fully recognized the effects of these settlements as other income and expenses in the third quarter of 2018.

This resolution meets the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, and eliminates uncertainties, risks, burdens and costs of potential litigations in the United States.

In May 2019, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) contacted Petrobras with an inquiry regarding trading activities related to the Lava Jato Operation. Petrobras reiterates that it will continue to cooperate with the regulatory authorities, including the CFTC, regarding any inquiry, reinforcing its commitment to integrity and transparency.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The same accounting policies and methods of computation were followed in these consolidated interim financial statements as those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the changes arising from the adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases and IFRIC 23—Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, which became effective on January 1, 2019.

 

3.1.

IFRS 16 – Leases

IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, from the lessees and lessors’ perspectives.

Among the changes arising from IFRS 16, this standard eliminated the classification of leases as either operating or finance leases for lessees, providing for a single lessee accounting model in which all leases result in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability.

Following the adoption of IFRS 16, lease payments under operating leases are not charged to operating results on accrual basis. Instead, depreciation of the right to use a leased asset, as well as the finance expenses and foreign exchange gains or losses over the lease liability, affect the results. See notes 9, 14 and 25 for the impacts of such payments in the statement of income for the period.

The Company applies the short-term lease exemption and recognizes payments associated with such leases as expenses over the term of the arrangements.

In the statement of cash flows, operating lease payments, which were previously presented within Cash flows from operating activities, are presented from 2019 onwards as Cash flows from financing activities, comprising the settlement of lease liabilities. However, such change does not affect the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance.

The company did not apply the recognition exemption related to leases for which the underlying asset is of low value.

According to the transition provisions set forth in IFRS 16, the Company applied this standard retrospectively with the cumulative effect of its initial application recognized at January 1, 2019, without restatement of prior period information, and the following practical expedients were chosen:

 

a)

Application of this Standard to contracts that were previously identified as leases (note 18.2 to the Company’s audited financial statements ended December 31, 2018);

 

b)

Lease liabilities measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, net of applicable recoverable taxes, discounted by the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application;

 

c)

Recognition of right-of-use assets at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognized in the statement of financial position immediately before the date of initial application, excluding initial direct costs.

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from lease arrangements denominated in U.S. dollars were designated for hedging relationship according to the current cash flow hedge accounting policy involving the Company’s future exports.

Disclosure

At January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the same amount (US$ 26,575) and, as a result, the impacts arising from the initial application of this standard did not affect equity. The right-of-use assets are presented as Property, plant and equipment (PP&E), primarily comprising the following underlying assets: oil and gas producing units, vessels, lands and buildings, helicopters, drilling rigs and other exploration and production equipment. The lease liabilities are presented as a separate line item in the statement of financial position.

The incremental borrowing rates used to determine the present value of the remaining lease payments were determined mainly based on the Company’s cost of funding based on yields of bonds issued by the Company, adjusted according to the terms and currency of the lease arrangements, economic environment of the country where the lessee operates and similar collaterals.

The average incremental borrowing rate was 6.06% p.a. at the adoption of IFRS 16.

Other significant matters

The changes arising from the adoption of IFRS 16 did not impact the Company’s business practice and there was no need to renegotiate covenant clauses in finance debts.

With the conclusion of the process of privatization of the distributors of the Eletrobras Group (“Distributors”), all the conditions precedent provided for in the Debt Assumption Agreements (DAAs) signed between the Distributors and Petrobras were met and, thus, Eletrobras became the debtor of all the related amounts. There is an exception to the DAA signed on December 3, 2018 and its amendments, which covers part of the overdue amounts of AME in the scope of the gas supply agreements, which, although currently under the responsibility of the privatized Distributor, has Eletrobras corporate guarantee.

Regarding the privatization of AME, the Distributor presented a proposal to guarantee the debts that remained in favor of Petrobras Distribuidora (BR), which was not accepted because BR understands there are no elements that show its feasibility. The winning consortium formed by the companies Oliveira Energia Geração e Serviços Ltda and Atem Distribuidora de Petróleo S.A. so far has not submitted any further proposal. Thus, the impacts arising from this process were not recognized in the second quarter of 2019 and negotiations to obtain such guarantees for the renegotiated receivables are still ongoing.

With the privatization of the Distributors and the signature of the DAAs, Eletrobras became debtor of these receivables and the structure of collateralization for them is in progress. Therefore, the risk assessment to account for expected credit losses (ECL) is based on Eletrobras’ credit risk. At June 30, 2019, debts from both Eletrobras, within the scope of the installments assumed, and Amazonas Generation and Transmission (AmGT), responsible for the new gas supply agreements, were current.

On June 30, 2019, the receivables assigned to BR, amounting to US$ 229, were transferred to assets held for sale, as set out in note 7.

In the the first half of 2019, the Company recognized a US$ 10 gain as a reversal of cost of sales, adjusting inventories to net realizable value (a US$ 17 loss within cost of sales in the first half of 2018) primarily due to changes in international prices of crude oil and oil products.

At June 30, 2019, the Company had pledged crude oil and oil products volumes as collateral for the Terms of Financial Commitment (TFC) signed by Petrobras and Petros in 2008, without any significant changes in relation to the amounts disclosed on December 31, 2018.

It refers to BR’s assets and liabilities.

As of June 30, 2019, the amounts refer to (i) the sale of Rômulo Almeida and Celso Furtado thermoelectric power generation plants, (ii) the sale of the Company’s interest in Petrobras Oil and Gas BV (corresponding to 50% of the joint venture), (iii) the remaining 10% interest in Lapa field, (iv) three fields in the Campos Basin (Pargo, Carapeba and Vermelho fields, comprising the Nordeste group), (v) 34 onshore fields located in Potiguar Basin in Rio Grande do Norte, (vi) the interest in the Maromba field, (vii) sale of 50% working interest in Tartaruga Verde and Module III of Espadarte fields, and (viii) public offer of shares of Petrobras Distribuidora (BR).

The most significant progresses under the divestment process in 2019 are described below:

Sale of onshore producing fields

On December 27, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the sale of its total interest in 34 onshore producing fields, located in Potiguar basin, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, to the company 3R Petroleum, in the amount of US$ 453. However, the transaction was not consummated.

Accordingly, the Company promptly reassessed the other offers and accepted PetroRecôncavo’s offers in the amount of US$ 384, which was the second highest amount offered for this sale. Of this amount, US$ 61 is conditioned on the extension of the concession to be granted by the Brazilian Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels—ANP and its present value is US$ 47. The agreement was signed on April 25, 2019, when PetroRecôncavo disbursed US$ 29 in advance.    

In addition, the Company will assume US$ 2 (present value) related to provision for decommissioning costs.

The corresponding assets and liabilities of this transaction are classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2019 as the conclusion of the transaction is still subject to certain conditions precedent, such as ANP approval and pre-emption rights.

Sale of distributors in Paraguay

On June 26, 2018 the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) related to the sale to Copetrol Group of its entire interest held through its wholly-owned subsidiary Petrobras International Braspetro B.V. (PIB BV) in Petrobras Paraguay Distribución Limited (PPDL UK), Petrobras Paraguay Operaciones y Logistica SRL (PPOL) and Petrobras Paraguay Gas SRL (PPG).

On March 8, 2019, this sale was completed after the fulfilment of all conditions precedent and the payment of US$ 332 to the Company, which includes US$ 45 of cash and cash equivalents of the companies and US$ 7 relating to working capital adjustment. This amount sums to the US$ 49 deposited in an escrow account at the signing date (June 27, 2018). As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a US$ 141 gain within other income and expenses. In addition, a US$ 34 loss relating to cumulative translation adjustment previously recognized in shareholders’ equity was reclassified to the statement of income, within other income and expenses, due to the depreciation of the Paraguayan Guarani against the US dollar, accumulated since the acquisition of the investment.

Sale of Pasadena Refinery

On January 30, 2019, Petrobras America Inc. (PAI) entered into a SPA with Chevron USA Inc. (Chevron) for the sale of the shares held by PAI on Pasadena Refining System Inc. (PRSI) and PRSI Trading LLC (PRST), which comprise the Pasadena refining system in the United States.

On May 1, 2019, this sale was concluded after the fulfillment of conditions precedent. Accordingly, the amount of US$ 467 was received by the Company, of which US$ 350 relates to shares of the Pasadena refinery and the remaining US$ 117 to its working capital.

At the transaction closing, a US$ 49 loss was accounted for as other income and expenses.

Sale of 50% working interest in Tartaruga Verde and Module III of Espadarte fields

On April 25, 2019, Petrobras entered into an agreement with Petronas Petróleo Brasil Ltda. (“PPBL”), for the sale of 50% working interest in Tartaruga Verde field (BM-C-36 Concession) and Module III of Espadarte field. Petrobras will maintain a 50% working interest and the operation of the field.

The transaction amounts to US$ 1,294, to be paid in two tranches: (i) US$ 259 paid at the signing date; and (ii) US$ 1,035 at the closing date, subject to price adjustments. The Company will continue to operate the fields.

The conclusion of the transaction is subject to the conditions precedent provided in the agreement, such as the approval by the ANP and the Brazilian Antitrust Regulator (CADE). Therefore, the corresponding assets and liabilities of this transaction are classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2019.

Sale of interest in Transportadora Associada de Gás—TAG    

On April 25, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of a 90% interest in TAG to a group formed by ENGIE and the Canadian fund Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (CDPQ), acting through Aliança Transportadora de Gás Participações S.A.

the members of the group paid US$ 0.5 billion to Petrobras relating to the sale of additional shares, so that the Company will preserve a 10% interest in TAG after the corporate restructuring to be held by the new controlling shareholder of TAG. This amount was accounted for as other current liabilities and, when recognized as profit or loss, the effect will be offset by the proportional write-off of the investment remeasured at fair value.

 

 

Aliança made a loan to TAG, which repaid the remaining debt with BNDES in the same date, in the amount of US$ 0.5 billion.

Petrobras will continue to use natural gas transportation services rendered by TAG, through contracts already in force between the two companies, with no impacts on its operations.

Following the closing of the transaction, a US$ 5.5 billion gain was accounted for in the second quarter of 2019, within other income and expenses, including US$ 0.5 arising from the remeasurement of the investment.

In the scope of this transaction, Petrobras remained responsible for certain TAG contingencies, in the amount of US$ 0.6 billion, classified as contingent liabilities.

Public offer of shares of Petrobras Distribuidora (BR)

On May 22, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the sale of a further portion of its interest in Petrobras Distribuidora (BR), to be carried out through a secondary public offering (follow-on).

On July 23, 2019, it occurred the pricing of the common shares under this operation, when the Board of Directors approved the sale of 349,500,000 shares, at a price per share of US$ 6.5123 (R$ 24.50).

On July 25, 2019, an overallotment option was fully exercised and the number of shares offered increased by 43,687,500, under the same conditions and at the same price per share initially offered. Thus, the offering amount totaled US$ 2,561 and Petrobras’ interest in BR’s capital stock was reduced to 37.50%. After the closing of this operation, Petrobras is no longer controller of BR.

The Company estimates a gain of US$ 3.8 billion before taxes, including the gain on remeasurement of US$ 2 billion, as a result of this operation, to be accounted for in the third quarter of 2019, considering the carrying amount of this investment at June 30, 2019. This gain is still subject to adjustments relating to the equity interest until the date of closing.

The supply relationship will continue after the disposal as this transaction does not change the current supply contracts.

As of June 30, 2019, the corresponding assets and liabilities of this transaction are classified as held for sale, since all the internal approvals necessary for the sale had been taken and such sale was subject only to usual and customary conditions.

Unitization Agreements

Since 2018, Petrobras has entered into Production Individualization Agreements (Acordos de Individualização da Produção - AIPs) with Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A. (PPSA) and its partners (Shell, Petrogal and Total) in certain E&P consortiums, submitting these agreements to ANP for approval. As of June 30, 2019, a US$ 138 provision is accounted for within other current liabilities.

 

9.3.

Concession for exploration of oil and natural gas—Assignment Agreement (“Cessão Onerosa”)

Petrobras and the Brazilian Federal Government entered into the Assignment Agreement in 2010, which grants the Company the right to carry out prospecting and drilling activities for oil, natural gas and other liquid hydrocarbons located in the pre-salt area, subject to a maximum production of five billion barrels of oil and gas equivalent. The agreement has a term of forty years and is renewable for a further five years subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s property, plant and equipment include the amount of US$ 19,521 (R$ 74,808 million) related to the Assignment Agreement (US$ 19,306 as of December 31, 2018).

The information gathered made possible the identification of volumes exceeding five million barrels of oil equivalent.

In April 2019, the CNPE enacted Resolution 5/2019 approving the clauses of the draft amending the agreement and, according to this resolution, the Company will be entitle to a reimbursement of US$ 9,058 due to the review of the Assignment Agreement.

On May 21, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the execution of the Amendment to the Assignment Agreement pursuant to the CNPE’s Resolution 5/2019. This approval is conditioned to (i) budgetary proposal of the Federal Government for the payment to Petrobras, and (ii) the publication of a MME Ordinance on the Co-participation Agreement with no violation of the Company’s vested right over the Assignment Agreement and the conditions negotiated in the scope of the revision process, established on the Amendment and on the MME Ordinance 213/2019.

The Company’s Board of Directors also determined that the execution of the Amendment be carried out before the surplus auction of the Assignment Agreement.

A definition about a relevant rule that would enable the Brazilian Government to settle such amount is pending.

Due to the features of the review, any credit in favor of the Company will be only confirmed following an amendment to the agreement that results in a contractual right and would support the recognition of an account receivable with a respective reduction in PP&E.

 

9.4.

Capitalization rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization

The capitalization rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization was the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings that were outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for obtaining a qualifying asset. In the the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, the capitalization rate was 6.19% p.a. (6.36% p.a. in the same period of 2018). Since January 2019, finance costs involving lease arrangements have been taken into account in the computation of the capitalization rate.

Impairment

The Company annually tests its assets for impairment on December 31 or when there is an indication that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

In the first half of 2019, impairment losses were accounted for, in the amount of US$ 20, within other income and expenses, mainly due to:

 

 

On July 25, 2019, Petrobras approved the sale of 10 concessions located in shallow waters in the Campos Basin (Rio de Janeiro). As a result, the Company reassessed the recoverability of the carrying amount of these assets and, based on their fair value less costs to sell, accounted for a reversal of impairment loss in the amount of US$ 494 relating to Badejo, Bicudo, Linguado, Pampo e Trilha fields.

 

 

In the first half of 2019, in addition to the regular investments made in the first refining unit facilities of Comperj, which are part of the infrastructure for transporting and processing natural gas from the pre-salt layer in the Santos Basin, the Company also made investments, in the amount of US$ 208, relating to environmental licensing of this project, as set out in note 27.3. As described in the last business and management plan approved by the Board of Directors, the resumption of this project still depends on new partnerships, thus additional impairment losses were recognized in the first half of 2019, totaling US$ 255, since future cash flows are not expected to return from investments.

Employees variable compensation program

In the first quarter of 2019, the Board of Directors approved a new variable remuneration model for all the Company’s employees for 2019: the Performance Award Program (Programa de Prêmio por Performance—PPP). This program is in line with the Business and Management Plan, focusing on meritocracy and bringing flexibility to a scenario in which the Company seeks more efficiency and alignment with the best management practices.

The PPP will be paid in a lump sum payment if the Company presents a net income higher than R$ 10 billion in 2019 and the estimated amount of disbursement will depend on certain factors such as individual employee performance and results of the areas, as well as performance metrics of the Company.

This new model replaces other benefits related to variable compensation, such as profit sharing and the Variable Compensation Program – PRVE.

The provision for variable compensation as of June 30, 2019 amounting to US$ 469 comprises US$ 206 recognized in the first half of 2019, and the remaining balance regards the program for the previous year, which was paid on July 12, 2019.

Voluntary Severance Program

On April 24, 2019, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s Voluntary Severance Program (PDV). Petrobras employees may join the program from May 2, 2019 to June 30, 2020, provided they are retired under the Brazilian Social Security Institute (INSS) by the end of the enrollment period. The program aims to adapt size of the Company’s workforce and optimize costs as provided for in its 2019-2023 Business and Management Plan.

The recognition of the provision for expenses with this plan occurs to the extent that the employees join the program.

For the first half of 2019, the Company’s contribution to the defined contribution portion of the Petros Plan 2 was US$ 117 (US$ 127 for the first half of 2018) recognized in the statement of income. In the second quarter of 2019, it was US$ 56 (US$ 55 for the same period of 2018).

Deficit settlement of pension plans

Additional contributions from participants and sponsors of Petros Plan, due to the deficit computed in 2015, commenced in March 2018, although certain participants appealed before the judiciary and have had their contributions suspended based on judicial injunctions. In these cases, the Company has not paid its parity contributions and all judgments related to these injunctions were in favor of the Company. In the first half of 2019, the Company made contributions amounting to US$ 86 with respect of contributions under the PED (US$ 80 during the same period of 2018).

Financial statements for the Petros Renegotiated (PPSP-R) and Non-renegotiated (PPSP-NR) plans for 2018 were approved by the Executive Council of Petros on March 29, 2019, presenting an accumulated deficit of US$ 1,436 and US$ 733, respectively, according to the general accepted accounting standards for the post-retirement sector, regulated in Brazil by the Post-Retirement Benefit Federal Council – CNPC.

The deficits were computed based on annual actuarial review carried out by an independent actuary and were already incorporated into the Company’s audited financial statements ended December 31, 2018.

The table below presents the reconciliation of the deficit of Petros Plan registered by Petros Foundation as of December 31, 2018, according to the standards issued by CNPC and according to international accounting standards (IAS 19):

Balance of accounts receivable arising from the Term of Financial Commitment—TFC signed with Petrobras, which Petros recognizes as equity.

As the accumulated deficits in 2018 were higher than the ceiling amount determined by relevant regulation, Petros Foudantion must implement a new settlement plan in 2019. The Executive Council of the foundation must assess and approve its amounts and settlement features, and submit it to the Secretariat of Management and Governance for the State-owned Companies (Secretaria de Coordenação e Governança das Empresas Estatais – SEST).

Petros 3 Plan

On April 26, 2019, the SEST approved the Company’s proposal for a new pension plan with defined contribution characteristics (PP-3) to be offered to participants of PPSP-R and PPSP-NR.

However, the implementation of the PP-3 still depends on the approval of the Superintendency of Post-retirement Benefits (PREVIC).

Labor claims, in particular: (i) opt-out claims related to a review of the methodology by which the minimum compensation based on an employee’s position and work schedule (Remuneração Mínima por Nível e Regime—RMNR) is calculated; (ii) lawsuits relating to overtime pay and (iii) actions of outsourced employees;

 

 

Tax claims including: (i) claims relating to Brazilian federal tax credits applied that were disallowed; and (ii) alleged misappropriation of VAT (ICMS) tax credits;

 

 

Civil claims relating to: (i) agreement to settle the Consolidated Securities Class Action before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; (ii) collection of royalties over the shale extraction; (iii) non-compliance with contractual terms relating to oil platform construction; (iv) compensation relating to an easement over a property; (v) collection of production taxes over natural gas production; (vi) penalties applied by ANP relating to measurement systems; and (vii) the arbitrations in Brazil involving the company Sete Brasil.

 

 

Environmental claims, mainly arising from the Conduct Adjustment Declaration (“TAC”) to close the public civil action requesting the environmental licensing of Comperj.

Civil matters comprising: (i) arbitrations in Brazil and lawsuit in the USA regarding Sete Brasil; and (ii) administrative proceedings challenging an ANP order requiring Petrobras to pay additional special participation fees and royalties (production taxes) with respect to several fields;

 

 

Environmental matters comprising: (i) four public civil actions filed by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the State of Rio de Janeiro against Petrobras, the State Environmental Institute—INEA and Rio de Janeiro State, requesting proof of compliance with regulation relating to the environmental licensing of COMPERJ, complementation of technical research, as well as compensation for collective material and moral damages.

In the first half of 2019, the main changes in the balance of contingent liabilities are related to:

 

(i)

a US$ 2,792 reduction relating to BR contingencies, after the follow-on of this company, as set out in note 7;

 

(ii)

a US$ 1,226 reduction due to the TAC to close the public civil action requesting the environmental licensing of Comperj, of which US$ 208 transferred to provision for legal proceedings, and the remaining balance had its likelihood of outflow of resources considered remote;

 

(iii)

a US$ 470 reduction regarding the ICMS Agreement 7/2019 in the states of Bahia and Ceará, resulting in a US$ 94 provision;

 

(iv)

a US$ 372 reduction due to a dispute involving the limit of standby work and period for rest between workdays, which was deemed remote in the first quarter of 2019 following a favorable decision from the Superior Labor Court (Tribunal Superior do Trabalho—TST);

 

(v)

a US$ 365 reduction due to the provision for arbitral litigations in Brazil involving the company Sete Brasil;

 

(vi)

an increase due to the balance update by applicable interest rates;

 

(vii)

a US$ 287 increase due to a dispute relating to the compensation for costs incurred in charter contracts of two drill ships, for which the possibility of outflow of resources was previously deemed remote.

 

27.4.

Tax amnesty programs – Agreement ICMS 7/2019

On March 15, 2019, the Brazilian National Council of Finance Policies (CONFAZ) released the ICMS Agreement 7/2019, authorizing the states to establish a partial tax remission program and the reduction of interest and fines related to ICMS debts arising from disallowances of tax credits in the refining activity, and to implement the presumed tax credit system.

The rules for redemption and reduction, as well as the system of presumed ICMS credit, were implemented by the states of Bahia and Ceará in the second quarter of 2019. In this context, the Company evaluated that adherence to the programs aiming at terminating US$ 470 contingent liabilities for US$ 94 represent an economic benefit, since the continuation of discussions would imply higher financial effort.

The states of Pernambuco, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Norte, Rio Grande do Sul, and São Paulo are also authorized to implement rules in their legal system, but the program has not yet been implemented.

Class action and related proceedings

 

27.5.1.

Class action and related proceedings in the USA

Under the Class Action Settlement, Petrobras (together with its subsidiary PGF) has agreed to pay US$ 2,950 to resolve claims in two installments of US$ 983 and a further installment of US$ 984. Accordingly, the Company charged US$ 3,449 to its statement of income for the last quarter of 2017 as other income and expenses, taking into account the gross up of tax related to Petrobras’s portion of the settlement. The three installments were deposited on March 1, 2018, July 2, 2018 and January 15, 2019 into an escrow account designated by the lead plaintiff and accounted for as other current assets. Certain objectors have appealed the District Court’s final decision to approve the Class Action Settlement, and one such appeal remains pending.

Additionally, during the first half of 2019, there was no other event that modified the evaluation and judgment of this action.

27.5.2.

Class action in the Netherlands and arbitration in Argentina

During the first half of 2019, there were no events that modified the assessment and judgment of the collective action in the Netherlands.

Regarding the arbitration in Argentina, the General Arbitration Court of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (“Arbitral Tribunal”) acknowledged the withdrawal of the arbitration filed against the Company (and other individuals and companies) by Finance Consumers Civil Association for its Defense (Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil para su Defensa—“Association”).

The Argentine Arbitral Tribunal understood that the Association withdrew from the arbitration because it had not paid the arbitration fee within the established period. The Association appealed to the Argentine Judiciary against this decision.

 

27.5.3.

Arbitrations in Brazil

The Commitment Assumption Agreement signed with the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor’s Office remains suspended, due to a decision of the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court on March 15, 2019. By this moment, the Company is prevented from using half of the amount of US$ 683 paid on January 30, 2019 to the Brazilian authorities, as provided for in the agreement, in the event of any convictions in these arbitrations.

 

28.

Collateral for crude oil exploration concession agreements

The Company has granted collateral to ANP in connection with the performance of the Minimum Exploration Programs established in the concession agreements for petroleum exploration areas in the total amount of US$ 2,344 of which US$ 1,632 were still in force as of June 30, 2019 , net of commitments undertaken. The collateral comprises crude oil from previously identified producing fields, pledged as collateral, amounting to US$ 1,533 and bank guarantees of US$ 99.

The probable scenario was computed based on the following risks: oil and oil products prices: fair value at June 30, 2019 / R$ x U.S. Dollar—0.8% appreciation of the Real. Source: Focus and Bloomberg. Reasonably possible and remote scenarios consider 25% and 50% deterioration in the associated risk variables, respectively.

 

29.1.

Risk management of crude oil and oil products prices

The Company is usually exposed to commodity price cycles, although it may use derivative instruments to hedge exposures related to prices of products purchased and sold to fulfill operational needs and in specific circumstances depending on business environment analysis and assessment of whether the Business and Management targets are being met.

In March 2019, Petrobras implemented a hedge strategy for part of its oil exports foreseen for 2019. Over-the-Counter (OTC) put options referenced in the average Brent oil prices from April to the end of 2019 were purchased with strike price of US$ 60/barrel, with premium of US$ 320. In 2018, a similar strategy was implemented, with an average strike price of US$ 65/barrel and total cost of approximately US$ 445.

In the first half of 2019, due to the decrease in the fair value of these put options driven by the increase in the commodity price in the international market, a US$ 235 loss was accounted as other income and expenses (a US$ 402 loss in the first half of 2018). In the second quarter of 2019 there was a US$ 140 loss (a US$ 250 loss in the same period of 2018).

Additionally, since September 2018, the Company also has executed a hedge strategy related to gasoline prices and foreign exchange rates by using commodity derivatives and non-deliverable forwards (NDF), in order to give flexibility on its pricing policy for this oil product, allowing the Company to hold gasoline prices constant in the domestic market for periods of up to 15 days. The Company recognized a US$ 7 gain arising from this strategy in the first half of 2019, recorded in other income and expenses (a US$ 3 gain in the second quarter of 2019).

With the objective of giving additional flexibility to the pricing policy, in December 2018, Petrobras adopted a hedge strategy applied to diesel prices and foreign exchange rates by using NDF, in a manner similar to the strategy applied to gasoline. In June 2019, Petrobras approved the review of the frequency of adjustments in the prices of diesel and gasoline. From then on, the price adjustments of diesel and gasoline are carried out without defined frequency. The Company recognized a US$ 8 loss arising from this strategy on diesel in the first half of 2019, recorded in other income and expenses (a US$ 10 gain in the second quarter of 2019).

When applying this hedge strategy, the Company maintains the principles that govern the practice of competitive prices, such as international parity price, margins according to the risks inherent to the operation, share of participation in the market and mechanisms of protection through derivatives.

 

29.2.

Foreign exchange risk management

 

a)

Cash Flow Hedge involving the Company’s future exports

Aligned with Company’s foreign exchange risk management, and considering the initial adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019, the Company performed additional designations in the first half of 2019, amounting to US$ 26,752 (R$ 103,499 million), in which the hedged item was the highly probable future exports in US dollars, and as hedging instruments lease agreements denominated in US dollars.

The carrying amounts, the fair value as of June 30, 2019, and a schedule of expected reclassifications to the statement of income of cumulative losses recognized in other comprehensive income (shareholders’ equity) based on a US$ 1.00 / R$ 3.8322 exchange rate are set out below:

Additional hedging relationships may be revoked or additional reclassification adjustments from equity to the statement of income may occur as a result of changes in forecasted export prices and export volumes following a review of the Company’s business plan. Based on a sensitivity analysis considering a US$ 10/barrel decrease in Brent prices stress scenario, when compared to the Brent price projections in our BMP 2019-2023, would not indicate a reclassification adjustment from equity to the statement of income.

A schedule of expected reclassification of cumulative foreign exchange losses recognized in other comprehensive income to the statement of income as of June 30, 2019 is set out below:

Cross currency swap – Pounds Sterling x Dollar

In 2017, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Petrobras Global Trading B.V. (PGT), entered into cross currency swaps maturing in 2026 and 2034, with notional amounts of £ 700 million and £ 600 million, respectively, in order to hedge its Pounds/U.S. Dollar exposure arising from bonds issued amounting to £ 1,300. The Company recognized a US$ 94 loss in the first half of 2019 (a US$ 89 gain in the first half of 2018) arising from this strategy, recorded in finance income (expense). In the second quarter of 2019 there was a US$ 140 loss (a US$ 176 loss in the same period of 2018). The Company does not expect to settle these swaps before their expiration dates.

 

c)

Non Deliverable Forward (NDF) – Euro x Dollar and Pounds Sterling x Dollar

In 2018, the Company, also through PGT, entered into non deliverable forwards with notional amounts of Euro 3,000 million and £ 419 million, maturing in 2019, in other to reduce its euro x dollar and pounds x dollar exposures raised by bonds issued. In the first half of 2019, the notional amount was reduced to Euro 2,477 million, adjusting the protection to a lower exposure to the Euro provided by the repurchase of bonds in that currency over the course of this semester. The Company recognized a US$ 83 loss in the first half of 2019 arising from this strategy (US$ 3 in the same period of 2018), recorded in finance income (expense). In the second quarter of 2019 there was a US$ 2 loss (a US$ 2 loss in the same period of 2018). The Company does not expect to settle these NDFs before their expiration dates.

Sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments

A sensitivity analysis is set out below, showing the probable scenario for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments, computed based on external data along with stressed scenarios (a 25% and a 50% change in the foreign exchange rates), except for assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, when transacted in a currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies.

on July 11, 2019, in the any-and-all repurchase offer, when the Company settled the principal amount of € 222.4 million and £ 252.6 million, respectively, excluding capitalized interest;

 

(ii)

(iii)

on July 31, 2019, in the waterfall repurchase offer, when the Company settled the principal amount of US$ 64, excluding capitalized interest.

Debentures Public Offering

Petrobras approved the seventh issuance of simple, non-convertible unsecured debentures (“Debentures”), in up to 3 series, with allocation of volumes among the series to be defined in a bookbuilding procedure (“interconnecting tranches”), in the initial amount of US$ 798 (R$ 3,000 million) for public distribution, under a regime of best efforts, pursuant to CVM Instruction 400, considering the procedure indicated for issuers with large exposure in the market, according to articles 6 -A and 6-B of the referred instruction (“Offer”). This issue provides for, at least, US$ 266 (R$ 1,000 million), as well as the possibility of an increase of up to 20% of the initial amount US$ 159 (R$ 600 million).

The Debentures of the first and second series will mature on September 15, 2029 and September 15, 2034 respectively, and will count on the incentive provided in Law 12.431/2011, and in the applicable regulations, the respective funds being invested exclusively in the priority project, whose scope is the exercise of exploration and evaluation activities in the area of the blocks of Franco, Florim, Northeast of Tupi and Entorno de Iara, under the terms of the Assignment Agreement and the activities of development and production of oil and natural gas in the Búzios, Itapu, Sepia and Atapu fields, limited to the activities approved by ANP.

The Debentures of the third series will mature on September 15, 2026 and will not count on the incentive provided in Law No. 12,431/ 2011 and on the relevant regulation. These funds are destined to reinforce cash to be used in the ordinary course of business of the Company.

Leniency agreements and repatriations – “Lava jato” operation

In July 2019, the Company received US$ 117 (R$ 444 million) resulting from leniency agreements and repatriations carried out by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office.

Additionally, the leniency agreement in which Technip and Flexibras entered into with the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor’s Office, the General Federal Inspector’s Office, and the Brazilian Federal Attorney-General’s Office also provides for two additional payments to Petrobras, in 2020 and 2021, of US$ 67 (R$ 253 million), which will be accounted for upon their receipt.

On August 1, 2019, the Board of Directors approved the payment of interest on capital, in the amount of US$ 694 (R$ 2,608 million), which corresponds to US$ 0.05 (R$ 0.20) per common and preferred shares. These interest on capital will be paid on October 4, 2019, based on the shareholding position of August 12, 2019, and shall be deducted from the remuneration to be distributed to shareholders at the end of this fiscal year.
