Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as from January 1, 2020; and the income tax expense that is recognized in each interim

period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities that have been measured at fair value. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars (“US”), and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (US 000), except when otherwise indicated.

2.2 New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB adopted by the Company

The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a Business

The amendment to IFRS 3 clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Furthermore, it clarified that a business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs.

These amendments had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020.

Amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 9 and IAS 39: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is the most commonly used reference rate in the global financial market. However, concerns about the sustainability of LIBOR and other interbank offered rates (“IBORs”) globally has led to an effort to identify alternative reference rates. On 2017 the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announcing that it would no longer persuade, or compel, banks to submit to LIBOR as of the end of 2021. This applies to LIBOR in all jurisdictions and in all currencies.

In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, which concludes phase one of its work to respond to the effects of Interbank Offered Rates (“IBOR”) reform on financial reporting. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (an “RFR”).

The amendments to IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement provide a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainties about the timing and or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument.

On August 27,2020 the IASB published the phase two of its IBOR reform project, focused on issues that affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with an RFR. The effective date is for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021, but earlier application is permitted.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company has not initiated negotiations with the banks for those borrowings at LIBOR rates, the Company also do not expect any impact.

The amendments to IFRS 9

The amendments include a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainties about the timing and/or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and must be applied retrospectively. However, any hedge relationships that have previously been de-designated cannot be reinstated upon application, nor can any hedge relationships be designated with the benefit of hindsight. Early application is permitted and must be disclosed.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

These amendments had no impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material

The amendments provide a new definition of material that states, “information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.”

The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, either individually or in combination with other information, in the context of the financial statements.

A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users.

These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of, nor is there expected to be any future impact to the Company.

Amendments to IFRS 16: regarding Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) related rent concessions

The amendments provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many lessors have provided rent concessions to lessees as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rent concessions include rent holidays or rent reductions for a period of time, possibly followed by increased rent payments in future periods. Applying the requirements in IFRS 16 for changes to lease payments, particularly assessing whether the rent concessions are lease modifications, and applying the required accounting, could be practically difficult in the current environment. The objective of the amendment is to provide lessees that have been granted COVID-19 related rent concessions with practical relief, while still providing useful information about leases to users of the financial statements.

As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a COVID-19 related rent concession from a lessor is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election accounts for any change in lease payments resulting from the COVID-19 related rent concession the same way it would account for the change under IFRS 16, if the change were not a lease modification.

The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and only if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change; (ii) any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2021.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020. Earlier application is permitted. The amendment is also available for interim reports.

These amendments had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements because the Company has not applied the practical expedient as mentioned above.

2.3 Basis of consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. There have been no changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies

2.4.1 Going concern

The COVID-19 outbreak is currently having an indeterminable adverse impact on the world economy. The Group is facing a new oil market scenario with increased oil supply mainly led by Saudi Arabia and significant demand reduction due to extreme COVID-19 containment measures. These two main factors have led to an oil surplus build up resulting in a sharp drop in oil prices. The Group immediately took decisive measures, such as reducing the 2020 work program (adjustments to capital

investment plans, including renegotiation of investment commitments and lease agreements) and continues monitoring of operating and administrative costs.

In the framework of the public emergency and the international crisis derived from COVID-19, the Argentine Executive Branch published the Decree No. 488/2020 it establishes a reference price to invoice and receive deliveries of crude oil in the Argentine market equivalent to 45 US/ oilfield barrel (“bbl”), with effect from May 19 and until December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2020 the Decree No. 488/2020 is not in force, because the price of “Ice Brent First Line” exceed 45 US/bbl for 10 consecutive days. (See Note 2.5.1.2).

Likewise, under this current challenging scenario compliance with commitments will continue to be monitored. In the event of any default, creditors may choose to declare indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other charges.

The Board of Directors regularly monitor the Group’s cash position and liquidity risks throughout the year to ensure that it has sufficient funds to meet forecast operational and investment funding requirements. Sensitivities are run to reflect latest expectations of expenditures, oil and gas prices and other factors to enable the Group to manage the risk of any funding short falls and/or potential debt covenant.

Considering macroeconomic environment conditions, the performance of the operations and the Group’s cash position, as of September 30, 2020, the Directors have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to meet all its obligations for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.4.2 Impairment testing of Goodwill and non-financial assets other than Goodwill

Non-financial assets, including identifiable intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment at the lowest level at which there are separately identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other Groups of assets or Cash Generated Units (“CGUs”). For this purpose, each owned or jointly operated oil and gas in four (4) CGUs: (i) conventional oil and gas operating concessions; (ii) unconventional oil and gas operating concessions; (iii) conventional oil and gas non-operating concessions; (iv) unconventional oil and gas non-operating concessions.

The Company performed its annual impairment test in December or when circumstances indicated that the carrying value may be impaired. The Company´s impairment test for goodwill and non-financial assets is based on value in use calculations.

At the end of the period/year, the Company considers the relationship between its market capitalization and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing indicators for impairment. As of September 30, 2020, the Company identified impairment indicators mainly as result of macroeconomic instability in Argentina which led to an increase in Argentina’s sovereign risk premium and the decline in the international price of crude oil.

As of September 30, 2020, management performed the impairment test. The Company used the cash generating value in use to determine the recoverable amount of the long -lived assets.

As a result of the updated analysis, for the nine-month period ended September 30,2020 the Company recorded an impairment of 3,437 related to the conventional oil and gas operating concessions CGU, and 1,517 related to the conventional oil and gas non-operating concessions CGU.

Argentina

2.5.1 General

2.5.1.1 Decree No. 297/2020

Consistent with recommendations that World Health Organization (“WHO”) urged to be taken by all countries affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Argentine Executive Branch issued Decree of Necessity and Urgency (“DNU”) No. 297/2020 that established the “social, preventive and obligatory isolation” in order to protect public health.

This Decree establishes as part of the measures to mitigate the spread and transmission of the virus, the immediate suspension of non-essential activities in the public, private and social sectors; and establishes certain exceptions, like minimum guards that ensure the operation and maintenance of oil and gas fields; oil and gas treatment and refining plants; transportation and distribution of electrical energy, liquid fuels, oil and gas; fuel vending stations and generators electric power.

This measure has been extended by DNU No. 325/2020, 355/2020, 408/2020, 459/2020, 493/2020, 520/2020, 576/2020, 605/2020, 641/2020, 677/2020, 714/2020, 754/2020, 792/2020 and 814/2020. This period may continue to be extended for the time considered necessary for the epidemiological situation.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

2.5.1.2 Decree No. 488/2020

On May 19, 2020, the Argentine Executive Branch issued Decree No. 488/2020 (the “Decree”), which establishes a reference price to invoice and receive deliveries of crude oil in the Argentine market equivalent to 45 US/ bbl, with effect from May 19 and until December 31, 2020 (the “Term of Validity”).

Said Reference Price which was established in the Article 1 of the Decree, will be in force as long as the price of “Ice Brent First Line” does not exceed 45 US/bbl for 10 consecutive days. Producers must apply the Reference Price for the liquidation of royalties. As of September 30, 2020, the Article 1 of the Decree No. 488/2020 is not in force, because the price of “Ice Brent First Line” exceed 45 US/bbl for 10 consecutive days.

Therefore, during the Term of Validity, the Company must: (i) maintain the levels of activity and / or production registered during the year 2019; (ii) maintenance of contracts with regional contractors and suppliers; (iii) maintain the current workforce as of December 31, 2019.

2.5.2 Gas Market

During the last few years, the Argentine Government has created different programs seeking to encourage and increase gas injection into the domestic market.

2.5.2.1 Natural Gas Surplus Injection Promotion Program for Companies with Reduced Injection (the “IR Program”)

The IR Program was created by the Secretariat of Energy in Argentina in accordance with Resolution 60/13 of the year 2013. This program established price incentives for production companies that adhere to it, to increase the production of natural gas in the country and NGL importation penalties in case of breach of the committed volumes. The aforementioned Resolution, which was amended by Resolutions No. 22/14 and No. 139/14 established a price ranging from 4 US/MMBTU to 7.5 US/MMBTU, based on the highest production curve attained.

On July 1, 2019, through Resolution No. 358/19, the Company was notified by the Secretariat of Energy of the credit cancellation plan linked to the IR Program, which according to said Resolution will be paid with bonds issued by the National State (“Gas Natural Program Bonds”) denominated in US dollars to be paid within a maximum term of thirty (30) installments.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company has received 6,194 in Gas Natural Program Bonds. As of September 30, 2020, the accounts receivable registered by the Company linked to the IR Program amounts to 5,938 of present value (6,212 of nominal value). See Note 16.

México

2.5.3 General

Consistent with recommendations that the WHO urged to be taken by all countries affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Mexican government, by means of Decrees dated March 24 and March 30, 2020, declared the epidemic of the disease generated by the Covid-19 virus a “sanitary emergency for reasons of force majeure”.

The Mexican Federal Ministry of Health issued a Decree that establishes as part of the measures to mitigate the spread and transmission of the virus, the immediate suspension of non-essential activities in the public, private and social sectors from March 30 to April 30, 2020. This decree, among other things provides a list of essential activities that can continue functioning, including gas and petroleum activities, because they are considered as fundamental sector of the economy and an indispensable service. It also considers the distribution and sale of energy as an essential activity.

This measure has been extended, and this period may continue to be extended for the time considered necessary for the epidemiological situation, determined by the competent health authorities of the Federal Government and Mexico City.

Except as mentioned above, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s Regulatory framework during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.

Note 3. Segment information

The Executive Management Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company has been identified as the “CODM”, which is responsible for the allocation of resources and evaluating the performance of the operating segment. The Committee monitors the operating results and performance indicators of its oil and gas properties on an aggregated basis, consistent with, due to the purpose of making decisions about the allocation of the resources, global negotiation with suppliers and the way agreements are managed with customers.

The Committee considers the business as one single segment, the exploration and production of natural gas, NGL and crude oil (includes all upstream business activities), through its own activities, subsidiaries and shareholdings in joint operations, and based on the business nature, customer portfolio and risks involved. The Company did not aggregate any segment, as it has only one.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 the Company generated 99% of its revenues from external customers in Argentina and 1% in Mexico.

The subsidiaries’ accounting policies to measure results, assets and liabilities of the segment are consistent with that used in this unaudited interim condensed financial statement.

Note 11. (Loss)/ Profit per share

a) Basic

Basic profit (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the results attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average of outstanding common shares during the period of the Company.

b) Diluted

Diluted profit (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the results attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the weighted average number of common shares with dilution potential.

Potential common shares will be deemed dilutive only when their conversion into common shares may reduce the profit per share or increase losses per share of the continuing business. Potential common shares will be deemed anti-dilutive when their conversion into common shares may result in an increase in the profit per share or a decrease in the losses per share of the continuing operations.

The calculation of diluted profit (loss) per share does not entail a conversion, the exercise or another issuance of shares which may have an anti-dilutive effect on the losses per share, or where the option exercise price is higher than the average price of common shares during the period, no dilutive effect is recorded, being the diluted profit (loss) per share equal to the basic.

Note 14. Right of use assets and lease liabilities

The Company has lease contracts for various items of buildings, and plant and machinery, which recognized under IFRS 16.

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities

Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities are remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

The carrying amounts of the Company´s right of use assets and lease and the movements during the period, are detailed below:

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

The Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are individually considered of low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As of September 30, 2020, short-term and low-value leases and overhead spending were recognized in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive loss in the general and administrative expenses for 105.

Note 15. Income tax expense

The Company calculates the period of income tax expense using the tax rate that would be applicable to the expected total annual profit. The major components of income tax expense in the interim condensed consolidated statement for profit or loss are the following:

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company´s effective tax rate was 8.8% and 16%, respectively. Significant differences between the effective and the statutory tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 includes (i) devaluation of ARS against the US which impacts the tax deduction of the Company’s non-monetary assets and the generation of tax losses, and (ii) the application of the tax inflation adjustment in Argentina.

Total current trade and other receivables

     41,632        93,437  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Due to the short-term nature of the current trade and other receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be similar to its fair value. For the non-current trade and other receivables, the fair values are also not significantly different to their carrying amounts.

Trade receivables are generally on terms of 30 days for crude oil revenues and 65 days for natural gas and NGL revenues.

The Company writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. None of the trade receivables that have been written off is subject to enforcement activities. The Company has recognized a loss allowance of 100% against all receivables over 90 days past due because historical experience has indicated that these receivables are generally not recoverable.

As of September 30, 2020, and December 31,2019, trade receivables and other receivables under 90 days past due amounted to 869 and 6,189, respectively, and no allowance for expected credit losses of trade receivables was recorded. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 it was recognized a provision for expected credit losses in trade receivable and another receivable of 3 and 100, respectively.

As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the maximum exposure to credit risk corresponds to the carrying amount of each class of receivables.

17.4 Fair values

This note provides information about how the Company determines fair values of various financial assets and financial liabilities.

17.4.1 Fair value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The Company classifies the fair value measurements of financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy, which reflects the relevance of the variables used to perform those measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

 

  -

Level 1: quoted prices (not adjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

  -

Level 2: data different from the quoted prices included in Level 1 observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

 

  -

Level 3: Asset or liability data based on information that cannot be observed in the market (i.e., unobservable data).

The following table shows the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The value of the financial instruments negotiated in active markets is based on the market quoted prices as of the date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. A market is considered active when the quoted prices are regularly available through a stock exchange, broker, sector-specific institution or regulatory body, and those prices reflect regular and current market transactions between parties that act in conditions of mutual independence. The market quotation price used for the financial assets held by the Company is the current offer price. These instruments are included in Level 1.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not negotiated in active markets is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of market observable information, when available, and rely as little as possible on specific estimates of the Company. If all significant variables to establish the fair value of a financial instrument can be observed, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

If one or more variables used to determine the fair value could not be observed in the market, the financial instrument is included in Level 3.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period from December 31, 2019 through September 30, 2020 or from December 31,2018 through December 31, 2019.

The fair value of Sponsor Warrants is determined using the Black & Scholes warrant pricing model by taking into consideration the expected volatility of the Company’s common shares in estimating the Company’s future stock price volatility. The risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the Sponsor Warrants is based on the yield available on government benchmark bonds with an approximate equivalent remaining term at the time of the grant. The expected life is based upon the contractual term.

The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the warrant liability as September 30, 2020:

 

     As of September 30, 2020

Annualized volatility

   40.02%

Domestic risk-free interest rate

   4.62%

Foreign risk-free interest rate

   0.14%

Expected life of warrants in years

   2.5 years

This is a Level 3 recurring fair value measurement. The key Level 3 inputs used by management to determine the fair value are the market price and the expected volatility. If the market price were to increase by US 0.10 this would increase the obligation by approximately 62 as of September 30, 2020. If the market price were to decrease US 0.10 this would decrease the obligation by approximately 52. If the volatility were to increase by 50 basis points this would increase the obligation by approximately 25 as of September 30, 2020. If the volatility were to decrease by 50 basis point, this would decrease the obligation by approximately 23 as of September 30, 2020.

17.5 Financial instruments risk management objectives and policies

17.5.1 Financial Risk Factors

The Company’s activities are subject to several financial risks: market risk (including the exchange rate risk, the interest rate risk and the price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

VISTA OIL & GAS, S.A.B. DE C.V.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

Financial risk management is encompassed within the Company’s global policies, there is an integrated risk management methodology focused on monitoring risks affecting the whole Company. This strategy seeks to achieve a balance between profitability targets and risk exposure levels. Financial risks are those derived from financial instruments the Company is exposed to during or at the closing of each period.

Financial risk management is controlled by the Company’s Financial Department, which identifies, evaluates and covers financial risks. Risk management systems and policies are reviewed on a regular basis to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company has reviewed its exposure to financial risk factors and has not identified any significant change to the risk analysis included within its 2019 annual financial statements except for the following:

17.5.1.1 Market risks

Foreign exchange risk

The Company’s financial situation and the results of its operations are sensitive to variations in the exchange rate between the US and ARS and other currencies. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31,2019, the Company celebrated some derivative financial instruments to mitigate associated exchange rate risks and the impact in the results of the year is recognized in “Other financial results”.

The majority of the Company´s sales are directly denominated in dollar or the evolution of its price follows the evolution of the quotation of this currency.

During the period from January 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020 the ARS depreciated by approximately 27%.

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in ARS exchange rate against the US Dollar, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Company’s profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in currencies other that the US Dollar, the functional currency of the Company. The Company’s exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.

 

     As of September 30, 2020

Change in Argentine Peso Rate

   +/-44%

Effect in profit or loss

   (13,250)/13,250

Effect in equity

   (13,250)/13,250

Argentine inflationary environment

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Argentine Peso devalued approximately 27% and for the year ended December 31, 2019 it devalued 59%. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, interest rate decreased approximately 25% with respect to an average interest rate of 65% during 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the 3-year cumulative rate of inflation reach a level of around 180%.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The management of the interest rate risk seeks to minimize financial costs and limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate increases.

Indebtedness at variable rates exposes the Company to the interest rate risk on its cash flows due to the possible volatility they may experience. Indebtedness at fixed rates exposes the Company to the interest rate risk on the fair value of its liabilities, since they may be considerably higher than variable rates. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, approximately 37% and 36% of the indebtedness was subject to variable interest rates. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019, the variable interest rate was 5.98% and 6.67%, for the borrowing denominated in US and 38.87% and 51.90% for the borrowings denominated in ARS, respectively.

The Company seeks to mitigate its interest-rate risk exposure through the analysis and evaluation of (i) the different liquidity sources available in the financial and capital market, both domestic and (if available) international; (ii) interest rates alternatives (fixed or variable), currencies and terms available for companies in a similar sector, industry and risk than the Company; (iii)

the availability, access and cost of interest-rate hedge agreements. On doing this, the Company evaluates the impact on profits or losses resulting from each strategy over the obligations representing the main interest-bearing positions.

In the case of fixed rates and in view of the market’s current conditions, the Company considers that the risk of a significant decrease in interest rates is low and, therefore, does not foresee a substantial risk in its indebtedness at fixed rates.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 for the year and December 31, 2019 the Company did not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

Due to the short-term nature of the current accounts payables and accrued liabilities, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value. The carrying amount of the non-current accrued liabilities does not differ significantly from its fair value.

VISTA OIL & GAS, S.A.B. DE C.V.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

The following sensitivity analysis shows the effect of a variation in the discount rate and salaries increase on the obligation amount.

If the discount rate would be 100 basis points higher (lower), the defined benefit obligation would decrease by 965 (increase by 1,231) as of September 30, 2020.

If the expected salary growth increases (decreases) by 1%, the defined benefit obligation would increase by 86 (decrease by 74) as of September 30, 2020.

The sensitivity analyses above have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of each reporting period, based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. Therefore, the presented analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period.

Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of each reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position.

There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

Refer to Note 24 to the Annual Financial Statements as of December 31, 2019 for further details on the employee defined benefits plan obligation.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

Note 27. Commitments and contingencies

There were no significant changes with respect to commitments and contingencies during the period ended September 30, 2020. For a description of the Company’s contingency and investment commitments with respect to its oil and gas properties, see Notes 28 and 29 of the 2019 annual consolidated financial statements.

Note 28. Operations in hydrocarbon consortiums

On July 7, 2020, due to the default of payment of the joint venture partner, Madalena Energy S.R.L.(“Madalena”), and in accordance with the provisions of Coirón Amargo Norte Joint Operation Agreement (“JOA”), Vista Argentina jointly with its partner Gas y Petróleo del Neuquén S.A. (“GyP”), proceeded to exclude Madalena from the JOA because of such breach.

As a result of this the Company, through its subsidiary Vista Argentina, increased its participating interest in the JOA from 55% to 84.62%.

As per the JOA provisions Vista has the right to claim the due payments by Madalena.

As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the amendment to the JOA is pending approval by the Province of Neuquén Executive Branch, which will have retroactive effect to July 7,2020.

In accordance with IFRS, such increase in the Company participating interest in the JOA has been accounted as a business combination using the acquisition accounting method. The operation has been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date on which the Company obtained control of the additional participating interest.

The Company has up to 12 months to finalize the accounting for a business combination. As of September 30, 2020 the Company reports provisional amounts.

On August 3, 2020 the National Hydrocarbons Commission (“CNH”) approved the transfer of the operation control in the block CS-01, so the Company through its Mexican subsidiary Vista Oil & Gas, Holding II S.A. de C.V. was designated as operator.

Except as mentioned before, there were no significant changes to operations in hydrocarbon consortiums during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. See Note 29 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 for more details about operations in hydrocarbon consortiums.
