Petrobras on agreement with Companhia de Eletricidade do Amapá

On May 11, 2021, Petrobras signed with Companhia de Eletricidade do Amapá (CEA) a judicial agreement for the termination of litigation and credit recovery, in the amount of R$314. The agreement establishes the payment to Petrobras of R$132.6, to be settled in 24 successive monthly installments (sub-credit A). A discount will be granted in the remaining amount of R$ 181.4, which was also divided into 24 successive monthly installments (sub-credit B), provided that payments are made on time. For each installment of sub-credit A paid, CEA will receive a bonus corresponding to a portion of sub-credit B of the debt. In the event of default, as provided for in the agreement, Petrobras may demand all the installments due on both debt sub-credits.

The agreement is subject to the following suspensive conditions: (i) success of the CEA privatization bid; and (ii) transfer of shareholding control of CEA until December 31, 2021.

On July 13, 2021, Equatorial won the CEA privatization auction. Once the condition for the transfer of control is met, the agreement will generate a positive effect on Petrobras' consolidated result of R$132.6, without considering the tax effects.

Consolidated inventories are presented less a provision for adjustment to their net realizable value. These adjustments are mainly due to fluctuations in the international quotations of crude oil and oil products and, when constituted, are recognized in the income statement for the period as costs of sales. In the period from January to June 2021, reversal of provision was recorded in the amount of R$ 5 (provision of R$ 1,502, in the period from January to June 2020).

Exclusion of VAT tax from PIS and COFINS tax basis

In June 2020, Petrobras and its subsidiaries obtained a favorable and final court decision on the exclusion of VAT Tax (ICMS) from the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS contributions and recognized the amount of R$16,925, recorded in current assets as taxes and contributions. The credits recognized in assets referred to the exclusion of the VAT Tax (ICMS) actually paid from the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS contributions, whose amounts were unduly paid in terms of competences comprised between the months of October 2001 and August 2020.

On May 14, 2021, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) determined that the VAT Tax (ICMS) amount to be excluded from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis is the one highlighted in the invoice. Thus, in the second quarter of 2021, an additional credit of R$ 4,898 was recognized, monetarily restated and recorded in current assets as taxes and contributions.

The company enabled these credits and offset it with payment of other federal taxes, totaling R$9,844 in 2021 (R$10,372 in 2020).

On June 30, 2021, the amount to be offset by the exclusion of VAT Tax (ICMS) in the PIS and COFINS calculation basis, monetarily restated by the Brazilian basic interest rate (Selic), is R$1,462.

The net gain in income for the period from January to June 2021 was R$3,159 (R$10,887 from January to June 2020).

11.2Tax amnesty programs – State Tax

Petrobras, based on the management of risks associated with litigation and in line with the value generation strategy, joined the state amnesty programs in Rio de Janeiro and Bahia, generating a positive effect on the result in the first half of 2021 in the amount of R$867, for the reversal of part of the related provisions, against tax expenses and other operating income and expenses of R$659 and financial result of R$208.

Adhesions to the state tax amnesty programs occurred mainly in the 1st quarter of 2021. The main information on these agreements is presented below:

State of Rio de Janeiro

The State of Rio de Janeiro instituted a special installment program called PEP-ICMS VAT Tax, authorized by CONFAZ Agreement No. 87/2020, created by State Supplementary Law No. 189/2020 and regulated by Decree 47,488 of February 12, 2021, which allowed the reduction of 90% of the late payment charges due as a fine and interest.

The adhesion to the program created conditions for the closure of materialized and non-materialized VAT Tax ICMS contingencies provisioned in the total amount of R$ 1,513, upon disbursement of R$ 531, during the months of April and May 2021, which included spontaneous termination due to the cancellation of part of the scope of the Comperj project (currently Gaslub). As a result, on March 31, 2021, the Company revised its expectation of disbursements considered probable and made the reversal of R$ 980 in the respective provisions for lawsuits and taxes.

State of Bahia

The adhesion to the remission and amnesty program with the State of Bahia was celebrated under the terms of VAT Tax Agreements 48/2020 and 49/2020, ratified by Law 14.286 / 2020, which allowed the remission of 50% of the tax and 90% of the fine and interest due. Tax debts resulting from disallowance of tax credits were closed in January 2021 with the payment of R$ 113, providing a definitive solution for this type of contingency.

13.1.1. Petros Plan Renegotiated (PPSP-R) and Non-Renegotiated (PPSP-NR)

On March 29, 2021, the Petros Board of Directors approved the financial statements of the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans, ending the year 2020 with a surplus and reversing the scenario of successive deficits in the two largest defined benefit plans managed by the Foundation.

Migration to PP3 and intermediate revision of PPSP-R and PPSP-NR

The PP-3 is a defined contribution (CD) pension option, which served as a voluntary and exclusive migration for participants and beneficiaries of the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans, both Post-70.

On January 27, 2021, the creation of the Petros Plan 3 (PP-3) was approved by responsible public agencies, as well as the changes in the regulations of the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans, both post-70, basically predicting the process of migration of participants to PP-3.

The application deadline for PP3 ended on April 30, 2021. The option for migration is irreversible and irrevocable, in addition to terminating any and all relationship with the plan of origin.

On June 15, 2021, the validation stage of the PP-3 applications was completed, totaling 2,176 applications granted and the technical and administrative feasibility studies of the new defined contribution plan were completed, allowing its implementation as from August 2021.

Considering the feasibility of PP-3, the option to migrate to the new plan being irreversible and irrevocable and the need to measure the cost of the past service, Petrobras carried out an intermediate review of the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans in the second quarter of 2021, which resulted in a reduction in liabilities of R$8,660, as a contra entry to: (i) R$6 of gain in income for the cost of past service of the 2,176 participants who opted for the migration, as shown in the movement of plan obligations; and (ii) R$8,654 of gain in other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity, mainly due to the increase in the discount rate applied to plan liabilities.

Petrobras will make an estimated contribution of R$ 1,226 in the PP-3, discounting the contribution amount for the revision of the lump sum death benefit in the amount of R$ 92, provided for in the plan for solving the deficit of the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans settled in June 2021. This amount will be updated, by the actuarial goals of the plans of origin (PPSP-R and PPSP-NR), until the payment date, expected to occur in September 2021.

In addition to this contribution for the formation of PP-3's equity, the values ​​of the guarantor assets of the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans will be transferred, in the estimated amount of R$2,608 in the position of May 2021.

The average duration of the actuarial liability of the PPSP-R and PPSP-NR plans, after remeasurement of the liability, is 12.77 years and 11.99 years, respectively (12.43 years and 11.51 years as of December 31, 2020, respectively).

a) Actuarial assumptions

The actuarial assumptions used to carry out the intermediate actuarial valuation in the 2nd quarter of 2021, compared to those adopted in the December 2020 actuarial valuation, were not updated, except for the discount rate assumption, which increased by 0.68 pp when compared to the discount rates of 4.27% and 3.59% (as of May 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively) in the PPSP-R and 0.70 pp when compared to the discount rates of 4.23% and 3.53% (as of May 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively) in the PPSP–NR.

13.1.2 Petros Plan 2 (PP2)

The Petros 2 Plan has a defined contribution portion whose payments are recognized in income. In the period from January to June 2021, the company's contribution to the defined contribution portion of the Petros Plan 2 was R$ 411 (R$ 410, for the period from January to June 2020).

13.2Health Care Plan (AMS)

In 2020, Petrobras' Board of Directors approved a new management model for Multidisciplinary Health Care. As from April 1st, 2021, the management of the health care plan started to be carried out by a non-profit civil association, named as Petrobras Health Association (APS), maintaining the self-management model which complies with the requirements of the Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS).

With the transfer to the new management model, there was no change in sponsors, benefit, coverage or scope, as well as no accounting effects.

14Provisions for legal proceedings

14.1Provisions for legal proceedings, judicial deposits and contingent liabilities

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

In the period from January to June 2021, the reduction in liabilities is mainly due to changes in the following cases: (i) reduction of R$985 due to the review of tax contingencies within the scope of the amnesty program of the state of Rio de Janeiro ( see explanatory note 11.2); and (ii) reduction of R$ 376 due to the agreement reached in the arbitration of engineering contracts in platforms arising from subsidiaries abroad, mainly offset by: (iii) R$ 740 for the transfer to probable loss in lawsuits related to indemnities and fines resulting from the environmental accident that occurred in 2000 in the State of Paraná; (iv) R$120 in the provision for civil litigation involving contractual issues; and (v) R$125 in the provision for fines from regulatory agencies.

14.3Contingent liabilities

The estimates of contingent liabilities for legal proceedings are indexed to inflation and updated by applicable interest rates. As of June 30, 2021, estimated contingent liabilities for which the possibility of loss is not considered remote are set out in the following table:

  Consolidated
Nature 06.30.2021 12.31.2020
Tax 130,515 127,375
Labor 38,730 42,505
Civil – General 27,466 24,012
Civil – Environmental 5,814 7,613
Total 202,525 201,505
 

 

 

The main contingent liabilities are:

·Tax matters comprising: i) withholding income tax (IRRF), Contribution of Intervention in the Economic Domain (CIDE), Social Integration Program (PIS) and Contribution to Social Security Financing (COFINS) on remittances for payments of vessel charters; (ii) income from foreign subsidiaries and associates located outside Brazil not included in the computation of taxable income (IRPJ and CSLL); (iii) tax on services provided offshore (ISS); (iv) requests to compensate federal taxes disallowed by the Brazilian Federal Tax Authority; (v) collection and crediting of ICMS VAT tax by several states; and (vi) collection of social security contributions over payments of bonuses.
·Labor matters comprising mainly actions requiring 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;
·Civil lawsuits, highlighting: (i) administrative and legal proceedings that discuss differences in special participation and royalties in different fields; (ii) public civil action challenging the alleged illegality of the gas supply made by the Company to Nitrogen Fertilizer Production Unit; (iii) fines from regulatory agencies; (iv) claims involving contracts; and (v) claims related to civil liability.

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

·Environmental matters comprising indemnities for material and collective moral damages to the environment and environmental fines related to the Company operation.

In the period from January to June 2021, the increase in liabilities is mainly due to the following events: (i) R$2,749 in civil litigation involving contractual issues; (ii) R$1,258 referring to actions involving the collection of VAT Tax (ICMS) on inventory differences and on added value; (iii) R$992 referring to lawsuits involving civil liability; (iv) R$735 in lawsuits discussing the difference in special participation and royalties in different fields; (v) R$499 of requests for offsetting federal taxes not ratified by the Federal Revenue Service of Brazil; and (vi) R$594 referring to lawsuits involving the collection of Corporate Tax and Social Contribution in the deduction of expenses with Petros. This effect was partially offset by: (vii) reduction of R$ 3,540, based on the publication of the minutes of the judgment session of the Declaratory Action for Constitutionality (ADC) No. 58 by the Federal Supreme Court, in relation to the update financial rates applied to labor debts in collective actions in which the labor unions question the calculation formula of the RMNR Supplement; (viii) R$1,795 for the review of amounts and transfer to probable loss in environmental damages and fines actions related to the company's operation; and (ix) R$308 for the write-off of amounts related to the company's operations in Ilha Grande Bay in the State of Rio de Janeiro.

14.4RMNR - Minimum Remuneration by Level and Work Regime

As of June 30, 2021, there are several lawsuits related to the Minimum Remuneration by Level and Work Regime (RMNR), with the objective of revising its calculation criteria.

The RMNR consists of a guaranteed minimum remuneration for employees, based on salary level, working conditions and geographic location. This compensation policy was created and implemented by Petrobras in 2007 through collective bargaining with union representatives, and approved at employee meetings, being questioned only three years after its implementation.

In 2018, the Superior Labor Court (TST) ruled against the Company, which filed extraordinary appeals against its decision. However, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) suspended the effects of the decision rendered by the TST and determined the national suspension of the ongoing processes related to the RMNR.

On July 29, 2021, a monocratic decision was published in which the Reporting Justice granted the Extraordinary Appeal filed in one of the proceedings to reestablish the judgment that dismissed the copyright requests, accepting the Company's thesis and recognizing the validity of the collective bargaining agreement freely signed between Petrobras and the unions, reversing the decision of the TST.

This decision is appealable and has not been final and unappealable, with no effects on the Company's financial statements as of June 30, 2021, which present R$715, classified as probable loss, recognized in liabilities as a provision for legal and administrative proceedings and R$31,327, classified as possible loss, included in the explanatory note of legal proceedings not provisioned.

14.5Class action and related proceedings

Regarding the class action in the Netherlands, on May 26, 2021, the Court ruled that the class action must continue and that the arbitration clause of Petrobras' Bylaws does not prevent the company's shareholders from having access to the Dutch Judiciary and being represented by the Foundation. However, investors who have already started arbitration against Petrobras or who are parties to legal proceedings in which the applicability of the arbitration clause has been definitively recognized are excluded from the action.

As the decision deals with procedural issues, as a rule, it is not subject to appeal at this stage of the process, except with judicial authorization. The class action will proceed to the phase of discussion of issues of merit. For more information, see explanatory note 20.4.1 to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In the Argentine arbitration, detailed in item 20.4.3 of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the appeal filed by the Association has not yet been judged by the Argentine Supreme Court.

As for the criminal actions in Argentina, detailed in item 20.5 of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, in the context of the action related to the alleged fraudulent offer of securities, on September 14, 2020, the judge responsible accepted the company's defense of immunity from jurisdiction and decided that Petrobras cannot be sued in a criminal action before the Argentine courts. The Association appealed against this decision, and the appeal is pending judgment. Regarding the action related to the alleged non-compliance with the obligation to disclose "material fact", on March 4, 2021, the Court (Room A of the Economic Penal Chamber) decided that the jurisdiction to judge this criminal action should be transferred from the Court Criminal Economic Court No. 3 of the city of Buenos Aires to the Criminal Economic Court No. 2 of that same city.

14.6           Arbitrations in Brazil

In the period from January to June 2021, there were no events that changed the assessment and information about arbitrations in Brazil.

14.7Tax recoveries under dispute
14.7.1Deduction of VAT tax (ICMS) from the basis of calculation of PIS and COFINS

The Company filed complaints against Brazilian Federal Government challenging the constitutionality of the inclusion, from 2001 to 2020, of ICMS within the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS. The Company obtained a favorable and definitive court decision on this claim, recognizing that Petrobras had the right to offset the amounts unduly paid under PIS and COFINS, with this decision being final and the respective asset recognized in the year 2020, according to note 17 of Taxes of December 31, 2020.

The credit recognized in assets refers to the exclusion of the ICMS VAT Tax actually collected from the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS contributions, as directed by the Federal Revenue Service of Brazil (COSIT Consultation Solution 13), while the difference for the ICMS VAT Tax criterion highlighted in the invoice was not recorded in assets, as it was depending on a decision by the Federal Court of Justice (STF).

On May 14, 2021, the extract from the minutes of the STF judgment on the motion for clarification filed by the Federal Government was published and it was clear that the criterion to be used for VAT Tax (ICMS) calculation purposes in the PIS and COFINS calculation basis is the one related to the VAT Tax (ICMS) highlighted on the invoice. Based on the STF decision, Petrobras recognized the asset related to the difference between the criteria, and this amount is already being offset in the Company's tax calculation.

The effects recognized relating to the exclusion of VAT Tax (ICMS) from the PIS and COFINS basis, as well as the offset of these amounts, are presented in note 11.1.

16The “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 consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2021, 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 addition, the Company has fully cooperated with the Brazilian Federal Police (Polícia Federal), the Brazilian Public Prosecutor’s Office (Ministério Público Federal), the Federal Auditor’s Office (Tribunal de Contas da União – TCU) and the General Federal Inspector’s Office (Controladoria Geral da União) in the investigation of all crimes and irregularities.

In the period from January to June 2021, as a result of leniency agreements and collaboration and repatriation agreements, the reimbursement of R$ 1,065 (R$ 431 from January to June 2020) was recognized. Considering the amount recognized in previous years, Petrobras has already recovered R$ 6,013 as a result of Lava Jato Operation. These funds were presented as other operating income.

16.1U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission - CFTC

On May 30, 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 continues to cooperate with the regulatory authorities, including the CFTC, regarding any inquiry.

16.2           Order of civil inquiry - Brazilian Public Prosecutor’s Office

On December 15, 2015, the State of São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office issued the Order of Civil Inquiry 01/2015, establishing a civil proceeding to investigate the existence of potential damages caused by Petrobras to investors in the Brazilian stock market. The Brazilian Attorney General’s Office (Procuradoria Geral da República) assessed this civil proceeding and determined that the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office has no authority over this matter, which must be presided over by the Brazilian Public Prosecutor’s Office. The Company has provided all relevant information requested by the authorities.

17.2Production Individualization Agreements

Petrobras has Production Individualization Agreements (AIP) signed in Brazil with partner companies in E&P consortia, as well as contracts resulting from divestment operations and strategic partnerships linked to these consortia. These agreements will result in equalizations payable or receivable of expenses and production volumes related to the Atapu, Berbigão, Sururu, Albacora Leste, Tartaruga Verde and other fields.

The change in the amount payable is shown below:

  Consolidated
  06.30.2021 12.31.2020
Initial balance 1,925 456
Additions/write-offs in Property, Plant and Equipment (352) 1,500
Payments made - (89)
Other operating (income) expenses 288 58
Final balance 1,861 1,925
 

 

As of June 30, 2021, Petrobras has an estimate of amounts payable for the execution of the AIP submitted for approval by the ANP of R$1,861 (R$1,925 as of December 31, 2020). In the period from January to June 2021, these agreements resulted in the recognition of additions and write-offs in property, plant and equipment, in addition to other net expenses of R$ 288, reflecting the best available estimate of the assumptions used in the calculation of the calculation base and the sharing of assets relevant in areas to be equalized.

17.3Capitalization 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 the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. For the period between January to June 2021, the capitalization rate was 6.08% p.a. (6.22% p.a. for the same period of 2020).

18.2Surpluses from Transfer of Rights

Atapu and Sepia

On April 9, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the signing of an Agreement with the Brazilian Federal Government that establishes the shares in each contract and the amount of compensation to Petrobras in the event of bidding for the excess volumes of the Transfer of Rights in the Sepia and Atapu fields. On April 14, 2021, this agreement was approved by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME).

With the publication of MME Ordinance No. 23/2020, complemented by Ordinance MME No. 493/2021, Petrobras and Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A (PPSA) revised and defined, prior to the bidding process for the excess volumes of the transfer of rights, the amounts of compensation to be paid for the new contracting party to Petrobras for the deferral of the cash flow in the two areas, as well as the participation in the Transfer of Rights and sharing contracts.

The Agreement between Petrobras and the Federal Government provides for the following terms: firm compensation of US$ 3,254 million for the 60.5% participation of the new contractor for the Atapu Field and of US$ 3,200 million for the 68.7% participation for the Sepia Field. In addition to these amounts, there is a forecast of an earn out, due between 2022 and 2032, when the price of Brent oil reaches an annual average above US$40/bbl (limited to US$70/bbl, for amounts greater or equal to US$ 70/bbl). Such supplements have a grace period of 1 year for payment of the 1st earn out installment, from 2023 to 2024, restated at the rate of 8.99% p.a.

The foreseen payment terms will be reflected in a Co-participation Agreement that will bind Petrobras and the new contracting parties of the areas. The Co-participation Agreement will be effective from the signing of the Production Sharing Agreement and the payment of compensation to Petrobras, when the contractors will have access to their participation in the production from the Sépia and Atapu fields.

On April 28, 2021, Petrobras expressed to the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE) its interest in the preemptive right in the Second Round of Bidding for Excess Volumes of the Transfer of Rights in the Production Sharing regime, with the expression of interest in the right preferably in the areas of Atapu and Sépia, with a percentage of 30%, considering the parameters disclosed in CNPE Resolution No. 05, of April 22, 2021, and MME Ordinance No. 08, of 19 April 2021.

The amounts corresponding to the subscription bonus to be paid, if the participation percentages are confirmed under the terms above by CNPE, will be R$ 1,201 for Atapu and R$ 2,141 for Sépia.

 

18.3Búzios

On November 6, 2019, the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) held the Round of Bidding for the Transfer of Rights Surplus, in which Petrobras acquired 90% of the right to explore and produce the volume exceeding the Onerous Assignment Contract for the Búzios field, in the Santos Basin pre-salt, in partnership with CNODC Brasil Petróleo e Gás Ltda. (CNODC) - 5% and CNOOC Petroleum Brasil Ltda. (CNOOC) - 5%.

The signature bonuses, corresponding to the company's interest, in the amount of R$ 61,375, was paid in the last quarter of 2019 and the Production Sharing Agreement signed with the regulatory entities in the first quarter of 2020.

On June 11, 2021, Petrobras signed with PPSA and the partners CNODC and CNOOC the Co-participation Agreement of Búzios, which will regulate the coexistence of the Transfer of Rights Agreement and the Production Sharing Agreement of the Surplus from the Transfer of Rights for the Búzios field.

The total compensation amount due to the Assignment Agreement (100% Petrobras) for the Production Sharing Agreement is approximately US$29 billion, which will be recovered as Oil Cost by the contractors. The amount was calculated based on the guidelines established in MME Ordinance No. 213/2019 and took into account current market parameters, as well as the deferral of the production of the volume contracted under the Transfer of Rights regime, in order to maximize the Net Present Value (NPV) of the Brazilian Federal Government and maintain Petrobras' NPV calculated based on the effective date of the Co-Participation Agreement. As Petrobras has a 90% interest in the Sharing contract consortium, the amount referring to the 10% interest of the partners CNOOC and CNODC, to be received by Petrobras, in the month prior to the effective date of the Agreement, is approximately US$ 2.9 billion.

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

Together, the contracted companies and PPSA defined the Development Plans for the field, which will result in a recoverable volume of 10,346 million boe between the effective date of the Co-participation Agreement until the end of the agreement in September 2050. Said recoverable volume results in participations in the co-participated area of approximately 26% for the Transfer of Rights Agreement and 74% for the Production Sharing Agreement. Considering the participation of each company in its respective contract and the participation of each contract in the co-participated area, the participation in the area was 92.6% for Petrobras and 3.7% for each of the partners. Within 30 days after the Agreement's effective date, Petrobras' partners in the consortium have the right to exercise the purchase option to acquire, each of them, an additional 5% interest.

The effectiveness of the Agreement is subject to approval by the ANP, followed by the payment of the CNOOC and CNODC partners' portion of compensation to Petrobras.

The participation and compensation estimates presented are based on the effective date of the Agreement on September 1st, 2021, and, as soon as the effective date is defined from the approval by the ANP, the necessary adjustments will be made according to the accumulated production and investments made up to that date.

On June 30, 2021, it is not possible to determine the final gain of this transaction, as it depends on the effective date of the Agreement, since there are different percentages of undivided economic interest, depending on the date of approval of the transaction by the ANP, or even be canceled if it is not approved by that agency.

On the effective date of the Agreement, the partial write-off of the assets associated with the Búzios field will be carried out, including the part of the signature bonus paid by Petrobras due to the Assignment Agreement applicable to this field, in exchange for the financial compensation, resulting in a transaction analogous to a sale. The result of this operation will be presented as other operating income or expenses in the income statement at that time.

Since this was a special auction, related to excess production from fields with technical and commercial feasibility already defined, the value of the signature bonus paid in the auction of the Surplus of the Transfer of Rights will be transferred from intangible assets to property, plant and equipment after the entry into force of the Co-Participation Agreement.

The volumes of reserves will be incorporated considering the beginning of the effectiveness of the Co-participation Agreement for the Búzios field and reflected in the estimates of proved reserves for December 31, 2021.

19Impairment
19.1Property, plant and equipment and intangible

The Company assesses the recoverability of assets annually, or when there is an indication of impairment, as well as reversal of impairment losses recognized in prior years. In the period from January to June 2021, net impairment losses in the amount of R$ 1,005 were recognized in the statement of income for the period, mainly for:

·Equipment and facilities related to production activity - Brazil: the Company decided to permanently stop platforms P-33 and P-26 in the Marlim field, which led to the exclusion of these assets from the CGU Polo Norte and classification as isolated assets, with the recognition of impairment losses in the amount of R$1,031;
·Energy - approval of the sale of the Arembepe, Muryci and Bahia 1 Thermoelectric Power Plants, located in Camaçari, in the state of Bahia. As a result of this operation, the Company assessed the recoverability of the thermoelectric’ s book value, considering the net fair value of selling expenses, which resulted in the recognition of impairment losses in the amount of R$441;
·Oil and gas production fields – Brazil: the Company assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of assets from production fields, considering the net fair value of selling expenses, which resulted in a reversal of impairment losses in the amount of R$ 308, mainly due to the approval of the sale of the Papa Terra concession, located in the Campos Basin (Rio de Janeiro), in the amount of R$208;
·Equipment and facilities linked to production activity – Abroad: the Company decided to relocate equipment from platforms P-72 and P-73 to producing fields in the Santos Basin. Thus, considering the expected future cash generation, it recognized reversal of impairment losses in the amount of R$151.

In the period from January to June of 2020, impairment losses were recognized due to the significant and adverse effects on the oil and oil products market arising from: (i) the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects, and (ii) failure in negotiations between members of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies to define production levels, which contributed to an increase in the global oil supply with a significant reduction in price in early March 2020.

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

These events led the Company to adopt a series of measures aimed at preserving cash generation and to revise some of its key assumptions, such as the Brent price, exchange rate, spreads of oil products, among others, with repercussions on the tests of recoverability in the period from January to June 2020, leading to the recognition of impairment losses in the amount of R$ 65,301, fully concentrated in the first quarter of 2020, with emphasis on:

·R$ 57,619 relating to the effect of updated assumptions in the estimation of the recoverable amount of several E&P fields, notably in the following Cash Generating Units (CGU): Roncador, Marlim Sul, North group, Albacora Leste, Berbigão-Sururu group, CVIT group and Mexilhão; and
·R$ 6,625 relating to the hibernation of fields and platforms in shallow waters, affecting CGUs North group, Ceará-Mar group and Ubarana group, as well as Caioba, Guaricema and Camorim fields.

On November 25, 2020, Management completed and approved its Strategic Plan 2021-2025, contemplating the update of economic assumptions, as well as its project portfolio and reserve volume estimates, which supported the asset impairment tests of the fourth quarter of 2020, with the partial reversal of the devaluation losses recorded in the first quarter of 2020 in several oil and gas production fields in Brazil, according to note 27 of the financial statements of December 31, 2020.

19.2Investment in affiliate with shares traded on stock exchanges (Petrobras Distribuidora S.A. - BR)

On August 26, 2020, the Board of Directors of Petrobras approved the process of divesting all of its interest in Petrobras Distribuidora. On June 30, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the price per common share issued by Petrobras Distribuidora S.A., in the amount of R$26.00, within the scope of the public offering of secondary distribution of Shares owned by Petrobras, resulting in a sale amount of R$11,264, net of transaction costs.

The assessment of the recoverability of the investment based on the cash flow arising from the sale resulted in the recognition of reversals of net impairment losses, in the period from January to June 2021, in the amount of R$2,019.

The difference between the amount paid and CDMPI's negative shareholders' equity, in the amount of R$ 3,716, was classified as a capital transaction and reduced the shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders of Petrobras, in return for the increase in the shareholders' equity of non-controlling interests, since Petrobras already controlled its operations before the acquisition. On April 14, 2021, Petrobras' Extraordinary General Meeting resolved and approved the merger of CDMPI.

The probable scenario uses references external to the Company, widely used in the pricing of cargo in the oil, oil products and natural gas market, which take into account the closing price of the asset on June 30, 2021, and therefore, it is considered that there is no variation in the result of open operations in this scenario. The possible and remote scenarios reflect the potential effect on the result of outstanding transactions, considering a variation in the closing price of 25% and 50%, respectively. To simulate the most unfavorable scenarios, the variation was applied to each product group according to the position of open operations: price drop for long positions and high for short positions.

29.2Risk management of crude oil and oil products prices

Petrobras prefers exposure to the price cycle to the systematic protection of transactions for the purchase or sale of goods, whose objective is to meet its operating needs, using derivative financial instruments. However, subject to the analysis of the business environment and the prospects for carrying out the Strategic Plan, the execution of an occasional protection strategy with derivatives may be applicable.

a) Oil

In March 2020, in order to preserve the Company's liquidity, Petrobras approved a protection strategy for systemic oil operations in order to protect the revenue flows from these transactions against uncertainties in the prices of exports of oil cargoes already loaded, but not priced, due to the high volatility of the economic context, generated both by the effects arising from the drop in oil prices, and by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the world consumption of oil and derivatives.

As a result of this strategy, as of April 2020, forward (swap) and futures operations were carried out. Forward transactions (swaps) do not require an initial disbursement, while future transactions require margin deposits, depending on the contracted volume. In the period from April to June 2020, for forward operations (swap), there was a loss of R$1,138, and for future operations there was a loss of R$1,450.

 

b) Other commodity derivative transactions

Petrobras, using its assets, positions and proprietary and market knowledge from its operations in Brazil and abroad, seeks to capture market opportunities through the purchase and sale of oil and oil products, which can occasionally be optimized with the use of commodity derivative instruments to manage price risk in a safe and controlled manner.

29.3Foreign exchange risk management

a) Cash Flow Hedge involving the Company’s future exports

The carrying amounts, the fair value as of June 30, 2021, 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$ 5.0022 exchange rate are set out below:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

According to the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan, there was an increase in expected exports and consequently in highly probable future exports, but not in an amount equal to or greater than the finance debt and lease liabilities subject to designation as hedge instruments. As a result, on June 30, 2021, the exchange exposure (Dollar x Real) maintained a significant maintenance throughout the year 2020, ending the period with passive exchange exposure, as shown in table 29.3 c - Sensitivity analysis of financial instruments subject to exchange variation.

In the period from January to June 2021, the Company recognized a R$ 77 gain within foreign exchange gains (losses) due to ineffectiveness (a R$ 5 loss in the same period of 2020).

The average ratio of future exports for which cash flow hedge accounting was designated to the highly probable future exports is 100%.

A roll-forward schedule of cumulative foreign exchange recognized in other comprehensive income as of June 30, 2021 is set out below:

  Exchange rate Tax effect Total
Balance at January 1,2020 (51,486) 17,506 (33,980)
Recognized in shareholders' equity (99,467) 33,819 (65,648)
Reclassified to the statement of income - occurred exports 21,754 (7,395) 14,359
Reclassified to the statement of income - exports no longer expected or not occurred 2,554 (868) 1,686
Balance at December 31, 2020 (126,645) 43,062 (83,583)
Recognized in shareholders' equity 12,193 (4,146) 8,047
Reclassified to the statement of income - occurred exports 12,427 (4,225) 8,202
Balance at June 30, 2021 (102,025) 34,691 (67,334)

 

 

 

Changes in expectations regarding the realization of export prices and volumes in future revisions of the business plans may determine the need for additional reclassifications of the exchange variation accumulated in shareholders' equity to the statement of income. A sensitivity analysis with an average Brent oil price of US$ 10/barrel lower, when compared to the Brent price projections in our Strategic Plan 2021-2025, would indicate the need to reclassify the exchange variation recorded in shareholders’ equity to the statement of income in the amount of R$ 17.

A schedule of expected reclassification of cumulative foreign exchange recognized in other comprehensive income to the statement of income as of June 30, 2021 is set out below:

  Consolidated
  2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 to 2030 Total
Expected realization (10,529) (23,257) (19,483) (14,482) (9,457) (7,953) (8,312) (8,552) (102,025)
 

 

 

b) Information on ongoing contracts

As of June 30, 2021, the company has outstanding swap contracts - IPCA x CDI and CDI x Dollar, swap - Pound sterling x Dollar and Non Deliverable Forward (NDF) - Pound x Dollar.

Swap contracts – IPCA x CDI and CDI x Dollar

Changes in future interest rate curves (CDI) may have an impact on the Company's results, due to the market value of these swap contracts. The value of the shock on the curve was defined as a function of the average maturity of the swaps, and is approximately 25% of the future rate of the average maturity. A sensitivity analysis on CDI with a constant increase (parallel shock) all other variables remaining constant, would result in the following impacts:

Sensitivity analysis Result
Constant increase of 200 basis points (74)
Constant decrease of 200 basis points 121
   

 

For more information about such agreements, please see the note 38.3 of Petrobras financial statements of December 31, 2020.

c)Sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments

The scenario considered probable is referenced by an external source, Focus and Thomson Reuters, based on the exchange rate estimated for the close of the next quarter. In addition to the possible and remote scenarios that consider the appreciation of the quarterly closing exchange rate (risk) by 25% and 50%, respectively, except for the balances of assets and liabilities in foreign currency of foreign subsidiaries, when carried out in a currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies. These analyzes only cover the exchange variation and keep all other variables constant.

Report on the review of quarterly information - ITR

(A free translation of the original report in Portuguese, as filed with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, rules of the CVM and of the International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS)

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras

Rio de Janeiro - RJ

 

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim accounting information, individual and consolidated, of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras (“the Company”), identified as Parent Company and Consolidated, respectively, included in the quarterly information form - ITR for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, which comprises the balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and the respective statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six months periods then, and statements of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for the six-months period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

The Company`s Management is responsible for the preparation of these interim accounting information in accordance with the CPC 21(R1) and the IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, as well as the presentation of these information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express our conclusion on this interim accounting information based on our review.

 

Scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Interim Information Review Standards (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries primarily of the management responsible for financial and accounting matters and applying analytical procedures and other review procedures. The scope of a review is significantly less than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and, accordingly, it did not enable us to obtain assurance that we were aware of all the material matters that would have been identified in an audit. Therefore, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim accounting information

Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact that might lead us to believe that the individual and consolidated interim accounting information included in the aforementioned quarterly information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21(R1) and IAS 34, issued by the IASB, applicable to the preparation of the quarterly review - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Other matters - Statements of added value

The individual and consolidated statements of value added for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management, and presented as supplementary information for the purposes of IAS 34, were submitted to the same review procedures followed together with the review of the Company's interim financial information. In order to form our conclusion, we evaluated whether these statements were reconciliated to the interim financial information and to the accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria set on Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statements of value added were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
