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)

 

1.Basis of preparation

These interim financial statements present the significant changes in the period, avoiding repetition of certain notes to the financial statements previously reported, and present the consolidated information, considering Management’s understanding that it provides a comprehensive view of the Company’s financial position and operational performance, complemented by certain information of the Parent Company. Hence, this interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, which include the full set of notes.

The consolidated and individual interim financial information of the company was prepared and is presented in accordance with the Technical Pronouncement - CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Statement, issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) and approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), and related to IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). All relevant information pertaining to the financial statements, and only these, are being evidenced, and correspond to those used in the management of the company's Management.

These interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors in a meeting held on May 12, 2025.

1.1.New standards and interpretations

On January 1, 2025, as disclosed in explanatory note 6 to the financial statements for December 31, 2024, regulations issued in Brazil and abroad came into effect, the main ones being:

·Lack of exchangeability – Amendments to IAS 21, issued by the IASB, with corresponding technical pronouncement issued by the CPC and approved by the CVM; and
·Technical guidance OCPC 10 – Carbon Credits (tCO2e), emission permits (allowances) and decarbonization credits (CBIO). This guidance was issued in Brazil without equivalence to the standards issued by the IASB.

The initial application of these regulations did not have a material effect on the consolidated and individual interim financial information for March 31, 2025.

 

2.Material 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, 2024.

Forfaiting

The Company has a program to encourage the development of the oil and gas production chain called “Mais Valor” (More Value), operated by a partner company on a 100% digital platform.

By using this platform, the suppliers who want to anticipate their receivables may launch a reverse auction, in which the winner is the financial institution which offers the lowest discount rate. The financial institution becomes the creditor of invoices advanced by the supplier, and Petrobras pays the invoices on the same date and under the conditions originally agreed with the supplier.

Invoices are advanced in the “Mais Valor” program exclusively at the discretion of the suppliers and do not change the terms, prices and commercial conditions contracted by Petrobras with such suppliers, as well as it does not add financial charges to the Company, therefore, the classification is maintained as Trade payables in Statements of Cash Flows (Cash flows from operating activities).

As of March 31, 2025, the balance advanced by suppliers, within the scope of the program, is R$ 835 (R$ 832 as of December 31, 2024) and has a payment term from 4 to 92 days and a weighted average term of 58 days (payment term from 7 to 92 days and a weighted average term of 58 days in 2024), after the contracted commercial conditions have been met.

12.1.1 Uncertain treatments on Corporate Income Tax (CIT)

As of March 31, 2025, the Company has R$ 4,592 (R$ 4,748 as of December 31, 2024) of uncertain tax treatments, provisioned in the statement of financial position, mainly related to the deduction of amounts paid in the basis of calculation of income taxes in Brazil, as well as to the incidence of Corporate Income Tax (CIT) on transactions abroad, related to judicial and administrative proceedings. In addition, the Company has R$ 32,778 of uncertain tax treatments (R$ 33,408 as of December 31, 2024), unprovisioned, in Brazil and abroad, on income taxes related to judicial and administrative proceedings.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company has other positions that can be considered as uncertain tax treatments on income taxes amounting to R$ 27,730 (R$ 26,468 as of December 31, 2024), given the possibility of different interpretation by the tax authority. These uncertain tax treatments are supported by technical assessments and tax risk assessment methodology. Therefore, Petrobras believes that such positions are likely to be accepted by the tax authorities (including judicial courts).

Pension plans

The Company’s post-retirement plans are managed by Petros Foundation, a nonprofit legal entity governed by private law with administrative and financial autonomy.

Pension plans in Brazil are regulated by the National Council for Supplementary Pension (Conselho Nacional de Previdência Complementar – CNPC), which establishes all guidelines and procedures to be adopted by the plans for their management and relationship with stakeholders.

Petros Foundation periodically carries out revisions of the plans and, when applicable, establishes measures aiming at maintaining the financial sustainability of the plans.

On March 25, 2025, the Deliberative Council of Petros Foundation approved the financial statements of the pension plans for the year ended December 31, 2024, sponsored by the Company.

The net obligation with pension plans recorded by the Company is measured in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards, which has a different measurement methodology to that applicable to pension funds in Brazil, which are regulated by the CNPC.

The main differences between the accounting practices of the company (IFRS Accounting Standards) and the pension fund (CNPC), as of December 31, 2024, are demonstrated below:

  PPSP-R (1) PPSP-NR (1)
Accumulated déficit according to CNPC – Petros Foundation 1,603 576
Ordinary and extraordinary future contributions - sponsor 23,181 6,793
Contributions related to the TFC - sponsor 4,073 2,738
Financial assumptions (interest rate and inflation), changes in fair value of plan assets and actuarial valuation method (12,238) (2,938)
Net actuarial liability according to IFRS Accounting Standards – Sponsor Company 16,619 7,169
(1) It includes the balance of PPSP-R pre-70 and PPSP-NR pre-70.

 

The main difference between these methodologies is that, in the CNPC criterion, Petros Foundation considers the future cash flows of normal and extraordinary sponsor’s contributions, discounted to present value, while the Company considers these cash flows as they are realized. In addition, Petros Foundation sets the real interest rate based on profitability expectations and on parameters set by the Superintendência Nacional de Previdência Complementar - PREVIC (National Supplementary Pension Authority), while the Company uses a rate that combines the maturity profile of the obligations with the yield curve of government bonds. Regarding the plan assets, Petros Foundation marks government bonds at market value or on the curve, while the Company marks all of them at market value.

13.2.1 Amounts in the financial statements related to defined benefit plans

Net actuarial liabilities represent the obligations of the Company, net of the fair value of plan assets (when applicable), at present value.

Changes in the actuarial liabilities related to pension and health care plans with defined benefit characteristics are presented as follows:

13.2.2. Contributions

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company contributed with R$ 1,257 (R$ 1,006 in the same period of 2024), to the defined benefit plans (reducing the balance of obligations of these plans, as presented in note 13.2.1). Additionally, it contributed R$336 (R$304 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024) to the defined contribution portion of the PP2 plan and R$3 to the PP3 plan (R$3 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024), which were recognized in costs and expenses for the period.

14.Provisions for legal proceedings, judicial deposits and contingent liabilities

14.1 Provisions for legal proceedings

The Company recognizes provisions for legal, administrative and arbitral proceedings, based on the best estimate of the costs, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required and that can be reliably estimated. These proceedings mainly include:

·Tax claims including: (i) tax notices for alleged non-compliance with ancillary obligations; (ii) claims relating to benefits previously taken for Brazilian federal tax credits applied that were subsequently alleged to be disallowable, including disallowance of PIS and COFINS tax credits; and (iii) claims for alleged non-payment of social security contributions on allowances and bonuses.
·Labor claims, in particular: (i) several individual and collective labor claims; (ii) 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; and (iii) actions of outsourced employees.
·Civil claims, in particular: (i) lawsuits related to contracts; (ii) lawsuits that discuss matters related to pension plans managed by Petros; and (iii) legal and administrative proceedings involving fines applied by the ANP - Brazilian Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis), mainly relating to production measurement systems.
·Environmental claims, specially: (i) fines relating to an environmental accident in the State of Paraná in 2000; (ii) fines relating to the Company’s offshore operation; and (iii) public civil action for oil spill in 2004 in Serra do Mar-São Paulo State Park.

Provisions for legal proceedings are set out as follows:

In preparing its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company considered all available information concerning legal proceedings in which the Company is a defendant, in order to estimate the amounts of obligations and probability that outflows of resources will be required.

In the period from January to March 2025, the decrease in the provisioned liability is mainly due to the conclusion of the agreement to end the dispute with EIG, according to note 14.4.3.

14.2 Judicial deposits

The Company makes deposits in judicial phases, mainly to suspend the chargeability of the tax debt and to maintain its tax compliance. Judicial deposits are set out in the table below according to the nature of the corresponding lawsuits:

In the period from January to March 2025, the Company made judicial deposits net of reversal in the amount of R$1,061, with emphasis on the deposits and nature of the related contingencies:

·R$507 referring to production taxes amounts related to the unification of production fields (Cernambi, Tupi, Tartaruga Verde and Tartaruga Mestiça); and
·R$255 referring to several deposits of tax nature.

The Company maintains a Negotiated Legal Proceeding (NJP) agreement with the Brazilian National Treasury Attorney General's Office (PGFN), aiming to postpone judicial deposits related to federal tax lawsuits with values exceeding R$ 200, which allows judicial discussion without the immediate disbursement.

To achieve this, the Company makes production capacity available as a guarantee from the Tupi, Sapinhoá, and Roncador fields. As the judicial deposits are made, the mentioned capacity is released for other processes that may be included in the NJP.

The Company’s management understands that the mentioned NJP provides greater cash predictability and ensures the maintenance of federal tax regularity. As of March 31, 2025, the balance of production capacity held in guarantee in the NJP is 13,546 (R$ 13,362 on December 31, 2024).

14.3 Contingent liabilities

The estimates of contingent liabilities are indexed to inflation and updated by applicable interest rates. As of March 31, 2025, estimated contingent liabilities for which the possibility of loss is classified as possible are set out in the following table:

  Consolidated
Nature 03.31.2025 12.31.2024
Tax 130,395 132,970
Labor 38,096 40,034
Civil 73,181 67,559
Environmental and others 7,970 8,038
Total 249,642 248,601
 

 

 

The main contingent liabilities are:

·Tax matters comprising: (i) income from foreign subsidiaries and associates not included in the computation of taxable income (IRPJ and CSLL); (ii) disapproval of PIS and COFINS tax compensation due to credit disallowance; (iii) withholding income tax (IRRF) on remittances for payments of vessel charters; (iv) collection of IRPJ and CSLL on transfer price; (v) collection of PIS and COFINS, resulting from the payment of taxes negotiated with the Brazilian Federal Government, excluding the payment of fines; (vi) incidence of social security contributions on the payment of bonuses; and (vii) collection of ICMS involving several states.
·Labor matters, comprising: (i) 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; and (ii) several labor claims.
·Civil matters comprising mainly: (i) lawsuits related to contracts; (ii) administrative and legal proceedings challenging an ANP order requiring Petrobras to pay additional special participation fees and royalties (production taxes) with respect to several oil fields, including unitization of deposits and reservoirs; (iii) claims that discuss topics related to pension plans managed by Petros; (iv) fines from regulatory agencies, mainly ANP; and (v) judicial and arbitration proceedings that discuss disposal of assets carried out by Petrobras.
·Environmental matters comprising indemnities for damages and fines related to the Company operations.

In the period from January to March 2025, the increase in contingent liabilities is mainly due to the following changes:

 

·R$3,544 related to civil litigation involving contractual issues;
·R$907 related to administrative and judicial proceedings discussing differences in special participation and royalties in several oil fields, including the unification of deposits and reservoirs;
·R$421 related to lawsuits discussing issues related to supplementary pension plans managed by Petros; and
·R$416 related to the collection on ICMS crediting - single-phase levied on the acquisition of goods.

These effects were mainly offset by: (i) R$4,150 related to the incidence of Withholding Income Tax (IRRF) on remittances for payments of vessel charters; (ii) R$1,796 related to class actions that require the review of the calculation methodology for the Minimum Remuneration by Level and Regime (RMNR) supplement; and (iii) R$1,004 by a favorable decision in a lawsuit on the incidence of Corporate Income Tax and Social Contribution Tax on capital gains on the sale and amortization of goodwill on the acquisition of equity interests.

14.3.1 Minimum Compensation Based on Employee's Position and Work Schedule (Remuneração Mínima por Nível e Regime - RMNR)

The RMNR consists of a minimum remuneration guaranteed to employees, based on salary level, work schedule and geographic location. This remuneration policy was created and implemented by Petrobras in 2007 through collective negotiation with union representatives, and approved at employee meetings, with the formula for calculating the supplement to this minimum remuneration adopted by the Company later being questioned in court by employees and Unions. The Superior Labor Court (TST) established criteria different from those agreed and reached an understanding partially contrary to the Company, deciding to exclude some portions of the calculation. The Federal Supreme Court (STF), which accepted the Company's appeal, recognized in March 2024 that the calculation formula used by the Company is valid and in accordance with what was negotiated between the parties.

The Company has been adjusting the expectation of loss, according to the decisions in which the understanding of the STF applies. As there are several legal actions at different procedural stages, the Company monitors the application of the precedent to the respective processes, which are being terminated, according to their progress in Court.

As of March 31, 2025, there are several legal proceedings related to Minimum Remuneration by Level and Work Regime (RMNR) reflected in the company's financial statements, with R$556 (R$546 as of December 31, 2024) classified as a probable loss, recognized in liabilities as a provision for legal and administrative proceedings, and R$28,759 (R$30,553 as of December 31, 2024) classified as a possible loss.

 

14.4 Class action and related proceedings

14.4.1 Class action in the Netherlands

On January 23, 2017, Stichting Petrobras Compensation Foundation ("Foundation") filed a class action in the Netherlands, at the District Court of Rotterdam, against Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras, Petrobras International Braspetro B.V. (PIB BV), Petrobras Global Finance B.V. (PGF), Petrobras Oil & Gas B.V. (PO&G) and some former Petrobras managers. The Foundation alleges that it represents the interests of an unidentified group of investors and asserts that, based on the facts revealed by the Lava-Jato Operation, the defendants acted illegally before the investors. On May 26, 2021, the District Court of Rotterdam decided that the class action should proceed, and that the arbitration clause of Petrobras' bylaws does not prevent the Company's shareholders from having access to the Dutch Judiciary and have their interests represented by the “Foundation”. However, the interests of 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 scope of the action.

On July 26, 2023, the Court issued an intermediary decision on the merits which provided the following understanding: (i) the requests made against PIB BV, PO&G and certain former members of the Company’s management were rejected; (ii) the Court declared that Petrobras and the PGF acted illegally in relation to their investors, although the Court expressed it does not consider itself sufficiently informed about relevant aspects of Brazilian, Argentine and Luxembourger laws to definitively decide on the merits of the action; and iii) the alleged rights under Spanish legislation are prescribed.

Regarding the aspects of Brazilian, Argentine and Luxembourger laws considered relevant to the sentence, the Court ordered the production of technical evidence by Brazilian and Argentine experts and by Luxembourger authorities.

On October 30, 2024, after the parties' comments on the technical evidence, the District Court of Rotterdam issued a ruling, in which it broadly accepted Petrobras' arguments regarding the requests presented in favor of the Company's shareholders and considered that: i) in accordance with Brazilian legislation, all damages alleged by the Foundation qualify as indirect and are not subject to compensation; and ii) according to Argentine law, shareholders cannot, in principle, request compensation from the Company for damages alleged by the Foundation, and the Foundation has not demonstrated that it represents a sufficient number of investors who could, in theory, present such a request.

Therefore, the District Court of Rotterdam rejected the Foundation's allegations in accordance with Brazilian and Argentine law, which resulted in the rejection of all requests made in favor of shareholders. With respect to certain bondholders, the Court considered that Petrobras and PGF acted illegally under Luxembourg law, while PGF acted illegally under Dutch law.

Furthermore, the District Court of Rotterdam confirmed the following issues of the decision released to the market on July 26, 2023: (i) rejection of the allegations against PIBBV, POG BV and the former CEOs of Petrobras, Maria das Graças Silva Foster and José Sérgio Gabrielli de Azevedo; and (ii) prescription of requests formulated in accordance with Spanish legislation.

The Foundation and PGF have appealed against the ruling and previous interim decisions and will have the opportunity to substantiate their own appeals and respond to each other's appeals, before judgment by the Court of Appeal in The Hague. Petrobras will still be able to present its own appeal, within the deadline for responding to the Foundation's appeal.

In relation to bondholders, the Foundation cannot claim compensation under the class action, which will depend not only on a final result favorable to the interests of the investors in the class action, but also on the filing of subsequent actions by or on behalf of the investors by the Foundation itself, an opportunity in which Petrobras and PGF will be able to offer all the defenses already presented in the class action and others that it deems appropriate, including in relation to the occurrence and quantification of any damages that must be proven by the potential beneficiaries of the decision or by the Foundation. Any compensation for the alleged damages will only be determined by court decisions in subsequent actions.

This class action involves complex issues and the outcome is subject to substantial uncertainties, which depend on factors such as: the scope of the arbitration clause of the Petrobras Bylaws, the jurisdiction of the Dutch court, the scope of the agreement that ended the Class Action in the United States, the Foundation's legitimacy to represent the interests of investors, the several laws applicable to the case, the information obtained from the production phase of evidence, the expert analyses, the timetable to be defined by the Hague Court of Appeal and the judicial decisions on key issues of the process, possible appeals, including before the Dutch Supreme Court, as well as the fact that the Foundation seeks only a declaratory decision in this class action.

The Company, based on the assessments of its advisors, considers that there are not enough indicative elements to qualify the universe of potential beneficiaries of a possible final decision unfavorable to Petrobras' interests, nor to quantify the supposedly compensable damages.

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

Thus, it is currently not possible to predict whether the Company will be liable for the effective payment of damages in any future individual claims, as this analysis will depend on the outcome of these complex procedures. In addition, it is not possible to know which investors will be able to bring subsequent individual actions related to this matter against Petrobras.

Furthermore, the claims formulated are broad, cover a multi-year period and involve a wide variety of activities and, in the current scenario, the impacts of such claims are highly uncertain. The uncertainties inherent in all of these issues affect the duration of final resolution of this action. As a result, Petrobras is unable to estimate an eventual loss resulting from this action. However, Petrobras continues to reject the Foundation's allegations, in relation to which it was considered a victim by all Brazilian authorities, including the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court.

Petrobras and its subsidiaries reject the allegations made by the Foundation and will continue to defend themselves vigorously.

14.4.2 Arbitration and other legal proceedings in Argentina

In relation to the arbitration in Argentina, the Argentine Supreme Court denied the appeal, but the Consumidores Damnificados Asociación Civil para su Defensa (formerly Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil, "Association") filed a new appeal to the Argentine Supreme Court, which was also denied, thus the arbitration was sent to the Arbitration Court. This arbitration discusses Petrobras' liability for an alleged loss of market value of Petrobras' shares in Argentina, as a result of the so-called Lava Jato Operation. The Company does not have elements that allow it to provide a reliable estimate of the potential loss in this arbitration.

In parallel to such arbitration, the Association also initiated a collective action before the Civil and Commercial Court of Buenos Aires, in Argentina, with Petrobras appearing spontaneously on April 10, 2023, within the scope of which it alleges Petrobras' responsibility for an alleged loss of the market value of Petrobras' securities in Argentina, as a result of allegations made within the scope of Lava Jato Operation and their impact on the Company's financial statements prior to 2015. Petrobras presented its defense on August 30, 2023. Petrobras denies the allegations presented by the Association and will defend itself against the accusations made by the author of the class action. The Company does not have elements that allow it to provide a reliable estimate of the potential loss in this arbitration.

Regarding criminal proceeding in Argentina related to an alleged fraudulent offer of securities, aggravated by the fact that Petrobras allegedly declared false data in its financial statements prior to 2015, the Court of Appeals revoked, on October 21, 2021, the lower court decision that had recognized Petrobras' immunity from jurisdiction and recommended that the lower court judge take steps to certify whether the Company could be considered criminally immune in Argentina for further reassessment of the issue. After carrying out the steps determined by the Court of Appeals, on May 30, 2023, the lower court denied the recognition of immunity from jurisdiction to Petrobras. Petrobras filed an appeal against this decision, which was recognized by the Court of Appeals on April 18, 2024. Against this decision, the Association filed a new appeal, and on December 20, 2024, the Court of Cassation reformed the decision of the Court of Appeals to deny Petrobras' immunity from jurisdiction, which, in turn, appealed to the Supreme Court to reinstate the Court of Appeals decision. On December 27, 2024, before the decision of the Court of Cassation became final, the court of first instance ordered to sue Petrobras and a precautionary injunction, which was appealed to the Court of Appeals that revoked the processing decision and the precautionary embargo on April 3, 2025. In another procedural aspect, on September 15, 2022, the Court of Cassation recognized the Association the right to represent financial consumers. The Company's appeal against this decision was rejected on February 21, 2025. Petrobras presented other procedural defenses, which may be re-discussed in later stages of the process. This criminal action is being processed before the Economic Criminal Court No. 2 of the city of Buenos Aires.

As for the other criminal action for alleged non-compliance with the obligation to publish a “press release” in the Argentine market about the existence of a class action filed by Consumidores Damnificados Asociación Civil before the Commercial Court, on March 25, 2025, the 1st instance of the Argentine Court closed the action because it considered that there was no relevant fact that should be reported under local legislation. As there was no appeal, the decision became final.

14.4.3.Lawsuit in United States regarding Sete Brasil Participações S.A (“Sete”)

The EIG Energy Fund XIV, L.P. and affiliates (“EIG”) filed a lawsuit against Petrobras, before the District Court of Columbia, United States, to recover alleged losses related to its investment in Sete Brasil Participações S.A. On August 8, 2022, the judge upheld EIG's claim as to Petrobras' responsibility for the alleged losses (which was recorded in 2022 as provisions for legal proceedings) but denied the motion for summary judgment with respect to damages, whereby the award of compensation became subject to the proof of damages by EIG at a hearing and to the consideration of the defenses by the Company. In the same decision, whose effects were recognized in the Company's financial statements in 2022, the judge denied the request to dismiss the case based on Petrobras' immunity from jurisdiction, when an appeal was filed with the Federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which was denied in June 2024. Petrobras then submitted a request to review the issue, which was rejected on July 24, 2024. As a result, the process, which had been suspended by the lower court judge on October 26, 2022 due to the filing of the appeal by Petrobras, resumed its course.

On August 26, 2022, on another procedural front initiated by the EIG, the District Court of Amsterdam granted a precautionary measure to block certain Petrobras assets in the Netherlands. This granting was based on the decision of the District Court of Columbia, on August 8, 2022, and was intended to ensure the satisfaction of EIG's claims contained in the aforementioned US lawsuit.

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)

On March 7, 2025, Petrobras and EIG entered into an agreement to end litigation between the parties. Under the terms of this agreement, Petrobras paid EIG the amount of US$ 283 million, while EIG requested the termination of the lawsuit pending in the District Court of Columbia and the cancellation of the precautionary measure blocking the Company's assets in the Netherlands, as well as waived any rights related to the dispute. Therefore, there is no further legal dispute between the parties regarding this matter.

This agreement does not constitute admission of guilt or wrongdoing by Petrobras and meets the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, considering the US legislation applicable to the trial of the case, as well as the procedural stage and characteristics of litigations in the Federal Courts of the United States.

Basic and diluted earnings per share (R$ per share)        
Common     2.73 1.83
Preferred     2.73 1.83
 

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to shareholders of Petrobras by the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period. The change in the weighted average number of outstanding shares of 2024 is due to the Share repurchase program (preferred shares) which was closed on August 4, 2024, whose shares were cancelled in January 2025, as described in note 25.1.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the net income attributable to shareholders of Petrobras and the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period taking into account the effects of all dilutive potential shares (equity instrument or contractual arrangements that are convertible into shares).

Basic and diluted earnings are identical as the Company has no potentially dilutive shares.

26.Financial risk management

The Company is exposed to a variety of risks arising from its operations, such as price risk (related to crude oil and oil products prices), foreign exchange rates risk, interest rates risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Corporate risk management is part of the Company’s commitment to act ethically and comply with the legal and regulatory requirements of the countries where it operates.

The Company presents a sensitivity analysis for the period of one year, except for operations with commodity derivatives, for which a three-month period is applied, due to the short-term nature of these transactions.

a)Cash flow hedge involving the Company’s future exports

The Company uses hedge accounting for the risk arising from exchange rate variations of “highly probable future exports” (hedged item) by means of foreign exchange rate variations of proportions of certain obligations denominated in U.S. dollars (hedging instruments).

The carrying amounts, the fair value as of March 31, 2025, 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$ 5.7422 exchange rate are set out below:

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized a R$ 479 gain within foreign exchange gains (losses) due to ineffectiveness (a R$ 39 loss in the same period of 2024).

The average ratio of future exports for which cash flow hedge accounting was designated to the highly probable future exports is 74.37%.

A roll-forward schedule of cumulative foreign exchange losses recognized in equity to be realized by future exports is set out below:

  Jan-Mar/2025 Jan-Mar/2024
Opening balance (98,094) (28,833)
Recognized in equity 28,940 (9,966)
Reclassified to the statement of income 4,228 3,452
Other comprehensive income (loss) 33,168 (6,514)
Closing balance (64,926) (35,347)

 

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 future revisions of the Company’s business plans. Based on a sensitivity analysis considering a US$ 10/barrel decrease in Brent prices stress scenario, when compared to the Brent price projections in the Business Plan 2025-2029, it would not indicate a reclassification 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 March 31, 2025, is set out below:

b)Derivative financial instruments not designated for hedge accounting

In September 2019, Petrobras contracted a cross-currency swap aiming to protect against exposure arising from the 7th issuance of debentures, for IPCA x CDI operations, maturing in September 2029 and September 2034, and for CDI x U.S. Dollar operations, maturing in September 2024 and September 2029. In September 2024, the notional amount of the matured cross-currency swap was US$ 241 million.

The methodology used to calculate the fair value of this swap operation consists of calculating the future value of the operations, using rates agreed in each contract and the projections of the interest rate curves, IPCA coupon and foreign exchange coupon, discounting to present value using the risk-free rate. Curves are obtained from Bloomberg based on forward contracts traded in stock exchanges.

The mark-to-market is adjusted to the credit risk of the financial institutions, which is not relevant in terms of financial volume, since the Company makes contracts with highly rated banks.

Changes in interest rate forward curves (CDI interest rate) may affect the Company's results, due to the market value of these swap contracts. In preparing a sensitivity analysis for these curves, a parallel shock was estimated based on the average maturity of these swap contracts, in the scope of the Company’s Risk Management Policy, which resulted in a 594 basis point effect on the estimated interest rate. The effect of this sensitivity analysis, keeping all other variables constant, is shown in the following table:

c)Sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments

The sensitivity analysis only covers the exchange rate variation and maintains all other variables constant. The probable scenario is referenced on external sources like Focus bulletin and Thomson Reuters, making use of the exchange rate forecast for the end of the following year, as follows:

·U.S. dollar x real - a 2.75% depreciation of the real;
·Euro x U.S. dollar - a 1.9 % depreciation of the euro;
·Pound sterling x U.S. dollar - a 1.4 % depreciation of the pound sterling.

The reasonably possible scenario has the same references and considers the risk of a 20% depreciation of the closing exchange rate of the quarter against the reference currency, except for assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, when transacted in a currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies.

26.4.2Risk management of products prices - crude oil and oil products and other commodities

The Company is exposed to commodity price cycles, and 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 targets of the Business Plan are being met.

The Company, by use of its assets, positions and market knowledge from its operations in Brazil and abroad, may seek to optimize some of its commercial operations in the international market, with the use of commodity derivatives to manage price risk.

The probable scenario uses market references, used in pricing models for oil, oil products and natural gas markets, and takes into account the closing price of the asset on March 31, 2025. Therefore, no effect is considered arising from outstanding operations in this scenario. The reasonably possible scenario reflects the potential effects on the statement of income from outstanding transactions, considering a variation in the closing price of 20%. To simulate the most unfavorable scenarios, the variation was applied to each asset according to open transactions: price decrease for long positions and increase for short positions.

26.4.3Interest rate risk management

The company preferentially does not use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations, as they do not cause material impacts, except in specific situations presented by Petrobras subsidiaries.

In this sensitivity analysis, the probable scenario represents the amounts to be disbursed by Petrobras relating to the payment of interest on debts linked to floating rates as of March 31, 2025. The reasonably possible scenario represents the disbursement if there is a 40% change on these rates, keeping all other variables constant.

26.5Liquidity risk management

The possibility of a shortage of cash to settle the Company’s obligations on the agreed dates is managed by the Company. The Company mitigates its liquidity risk by defining reference parameters for treasury management and by periodically analyzing the risks associated to the projected cash flow, quantifying its main risks through Monte Carlo simulations. These risks include oil prices, exchange rates, gasoline and diesel international prices, among others. In this way, the Company is able to predict cash needs for its operational continuity and for the execution of its strategic plan.

In this context, even these unaudited condensed interim financial statements presenting a negative net working capital, management believes it does not compromise its liquidity.

Additionally, the Company maintains revolving credit facilities contracted as a liquidity reserve to be used in adverse scenarios (see note 23.5). The Company regularly assesses market conditions and may enter into transactions to repurchase its own securities or those of its subsidiaries, through a variety of means, including tender offers, make whole exercises and open market repurchases, since they are in line with the Company's liability management strategy, in order to improve its debt repayment profile and cost of debt.

The expected cash flows of finance debt and lease liabilities are presented in notes 23.4 and 24, respectively.

26.6Credit risk

Credit risk management in Petrobras aims to mitigate the risk of not collecting receivables, financial deposits or collateral from third parties or financial institutions through the analysis, granting and management of credit, based on quantitative and qualitative parameters that are appropriate for each market segment in which the Company operates.

As of March 31, 2025 the financial assets and cash equivalents and marketable securities, which are not past due nor considered to be credit impaired, present fair values ​​equivalent to or do not differ significantly from their carrying amounts.

The effect of credit risk assessments on trade receivables is available in notes 9.2 and 9.3, which present expected credit losses.

27.Related party transactions

The Company has a policy on Transactions with Related Parties that is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors, as provided for in Petrobras' Bylaws.

The policy also aims to ensure adequate and diligent decision-making by the company's management.

Report on the review of quarterly information - ITR

(A free translation of the original report in Portuguese, as filed with the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM, prepared in accordance with the Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Reporting and the international accounting standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB)

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras

Rio de Janeiro - RJ

 

Introduction

We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras (“the Company”), included in the quarterly information form - ITR for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which comprises the statement of financial position as of March 31, 2025 and the respective statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for the three-months period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with the CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Financial Reporting and the international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, such as for the presentation of these information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express our conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on reviews of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

 

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission.

 

 

Other matters - Statements of added value

The individual and consolidated interim financial information referred to above includes the individual and consolidated statements of added value (DVA) for the three-month period ended at March 31, 2025, prepared under responsibility of Company’s management, and presented as supplementary information for IAS 34 purposes. These statements were submitted to review procedures carried out together with the review of the Company’s interim financial information to conclude that they are reconciled with interim financial information and accounting records, as applicable, and its form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in CPC 09 (R1) - Statement of Added Value. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that those statements were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria set forth in this Standard with respect to the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
