2. ANALYSIS OF RESULTS FOR Q1 2020

Revenues for Q1 2020 were Ps 174.7 billion, an increase of 33.4% compared to Ps 130.9 billion in Q1 2019, primarily due to the below factors. It should be clarified that these variations were impacted by the mandatory isolation measures implemented by the government as of mid-March 2020 to prevent the circulation and spread of the COVID-19 virus.

 

   

Diesel revenues in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 61.2 billion, a Ps 16.5 billion or 37.0% increase when compared to Q1 2019;

 

   

Gasoline revenues in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 41.2 billion, a Ps 9.9 billion or 31.6% increase when compared to Q1 2019;

 

   

Natural gas revenues in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 16.3 billion compared to Ps 12.5 billion in Q1 2019, which represents an increase of Ps 3.8 billion, or 30.1%;

 

   

Retail natural gas revenues (residential customers and small business) and through its marketing to large customers (power plants and industries) in Q1 2020 reached Ps 5.9 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 0.5 billion, or 9.2%, from Ps 5.4 billion in Q1 2019;

 

   

Other domestic sales in Q1 2020, which include petrochemicals, fertilizers, jet fuel and lubricants, among others, totaled Ps 25.5 billion which represents an increase of Ps 5.7 billion or 28.6%, from Ps 19.8 billion in Q1 2019;

 

   

Export revenues in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 24.7 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 7.4 billion, or 42.9%, from Ps 17.3 billion in Q1 2019.

Cost of sales for Q1 2020 was Ps 145.9 billion, 39.3% higher than Q1 2019. This includes a 54.4% increase in production costs and 23.0% increase in purchases. Cash costs, which include costs of production and purchases but exclude depreciation and amortization, increased by 38.1%. This increase was driven primarily by the following factors:

 

  a)

Production costs

 

   

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounted to Ps 41.7 billion in Q1 2020, compared to Ps 26.9 billion in Q1 2019, which represents an increase of Ps 14.8 billion or 55.0%;

 

   

Lifting costs amounted to Ps 32.2 billion in Q1 2020, which represents an increase of Ps 10.4 billion, or 47.6%, from Ps 21.8 billion in Q1 2019;

 

   

Royalties and other production related costs in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 11.3 billion, from Ps 7.9 billion in Q1 2019, which represents an increase of Ps 3.4 billion, or 43.8%;

 

   

Refining costs in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 6.9 billion, from Ps 4.3 billion in Q1 2019, which represents an increase of Ps 2.6 billion, or 60.5%;

 

   

Transportation costs in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 6.2 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 2.0 billion, or 49.3%, from Ps 4.2 billion in Q1 2019.

  b)

Purchases

 

   

In Q1 2020 crude oil purchases from third parties amounted to Ps 14.6 billion, which represents an increase of approximately Ps 5.0 billion, or 52.1%, from Ps 9.6 billion of Q1 2019;

 

   

Biofuel (biodiesel and bioethanol) purchases in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 9.8 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 2.3 billion, or 31.2%, from Ps 7.5 billion of Q1 2019;

 

   

Purchases of natural gas from other producers for resale in the retail distribution segment (residential customers and small businesses) and from its marketing to large customers (power plants and industries) in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 2.9 billion, which represents a decrease of Ps 0.7 billion, or 20.4%, from Ps 3.6 billion in Q1 2019;

 

   

In Q1 2020, a positive stock variation of Ps 10.9 billion was recorded, compared to the positive stock variation registered in Q1 2019 of Ps 4.2 billion, mainly as a result of a higher inventory generation.

Selling expenses for Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 13.9 billion, an increase of 41.3% compared to Ps 9.8 billion in Q1 2019. Higher charges were recorded for transportation of products, mainly related to the higher rates paid for domestic transport of fuels, higher charges for taxes, fees and contributions mainly due to the increase in exports withholdings, higher charges for depreciation of fixed assets and higher personnel expenses, among others.

Administration expenses for Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 6.7 billion, an increase of 41.5% compared to Ps 4.8 billion in Q1 2019. The increase was mainly due to higher personnel expenses, higher fees and remuneration for services, higher charges on depreciation of fixed assets, higher IT costs on computer licenses, many of which are denominated in U.S. dollars, partially offset by lower charges related to institutional advertising.

Exploration expenses for Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 0.7 billion, representing a decrease of 52.9% compared to Ps 1.5 billion for Q1 2019.

Other operating results, for Q1 2020 represented a gain of Ps 7.4 billion, compared to the gain of Ps 0.6 billion for Q1 2019. This variation is mainly explained by the Development Agreement of the Bandurria Sur area in January 2020 where YPF was notified of the acquisition by Shell Compañía Argentina de Petróleo S.A. and Equinor Argentina AS of the entire Schlumberger Oilfield Eastern Ltd (“SPM”) share package. This assignment required the payment by SPM of the pending price amounting to Ps 6.4 billion, which has already been received by YPF.

Financial results, net, for Q1 2020 represented a loss of Ps 10.6 billion, compared to the gain of Ps 8.0 billion in Q1 2019. As such, higher negative interests were registered in Ps 6.1 billion during Q1 2020 and compared to the same period of 2019 product of higher average indebtedness, measured in Argentine pesos. Additionally, a lower positive foreign exchange was registered over net liabilities in Ps 7.8 billion, due to the lower depreciation of the Argentine peso observed during Q1 2020 compared to Q1 2019. In turn, there were higher negative charges for valuation at fair value of financial assets of Ps 2.7 billion, mainly due to the fall in the price of public bonds BONAR 2020 and 2021 in the first quarter 2020 compared to a gain of Ps 1.3 billion in Q1 2019. Lastly, in Q1 2020 there were greater negative financial updates of Ps 1.3 billion.

Income tax expense during Q1 2020 amounted to a gain of Ps 0.8 billion, compared to a loss of Ps 28.4 billion for Q1 2019. This difference was mainly driven by the positive charge for deferred tax registered in Q1 2020 for Ps 1.2 billion compared to the negative charge of Ps 7.1 billion registered in the same period of 2019, whose origin is mainly linked to the effects of the movement of the exchange rate in both periods. Additionally, the 2019 charge is mainly impacted by the decision adopted by the Company’s administration on March 21, 2019, in which it informed the Board of Directors the decision to adhere to the tax revaluation and the payment plan for proceedings in the National Fiscal Court.

In Q1 2020, the Upstream business segment recorded an operating gain of Ps 0.7 billion, compared to a loss of Ps 1.7 billion in Q1 2019.

Revenues were Ps 80.8 billion for Q1 2020, an increase of 45.5% compared to Q1 2019, primarily due to the following factors:

 

   

Crude oil revenues amounted to Ps 61.9 billion, an increase of 54.8% or Ps 21.9 billion compared to Ps 40.0 billion in Q1 2019 as the intersegment price of oil increased by approximately 44.4% measured in Argentine pesos. The average realization price for crude oil in dollars during Q1 2020 decreased by 8.5% to US$ 48.5/bbl. Crude oil volume transferred between segments increased 3.0%;

 

   

Natural gas revenues reached Ps 19.5 billion, 35.8% or Ps 5.1 billion higher than the Ps 14.4 billion in Q1 2019 as a result of a 15.3% increase in the average price in pesos considering the devaluation occurred between both periods. The average realization price for the quarter in dollars was US$ 2.76/Mmbtu, 25.2% lower than in Q1 2019. Moreover, volume sold between segments increased by 18.4% compared to Q1 2019 since YPF captured more demand by power plants, distributors, and exports that allowed sales to increase compared to Q1 2019, which was strongly influenced by excess supply compared to domestic demand, and consequently, low production of gas;

 

   

As it was mentioned previously, Other operating results, net, increased by Ps 6.1 billion compared to Q1 2019 mainly due to the Development Agreement for the Bandurria Sur area, where YPF was notified of the acquisition by Shell Compañía Argentina de Petróleo S.A. and Equinor Argentina AS of the entire Schlumberger Oilfield Eastern Ltd (SPM) share package in January 2020. This assignment required the payment by SPM of the pending price amounting to Ps 6.4 billion, which has already been received by YPF.

Total hydrocarbon production for Q1 2020 was 510.3 Kboed, 4.9% higher than Q1 2019. Crude oil production only declined 0.6%, resulting in 225.1 Kbbld, being affected by the process of assigning marginal areas which ended in July 31, 2019, whose production during the first quarter of 2019 was 0.8 Kbbld. The production of natural gas increased 10.0% compared to the same period of 2019, reaching 38.2 Mm3d, driven by the increase in demand by power plants, distributors, and exports that allowed to increase sales, thus reducing temporary production curtailments. It is noteworthy to highlight that in the first quarter of 2019 there was an excess supply compared to domestic demand, which impacted natural gas production resulting in the temporary closure of production in some locations, as well as the reinjection of hydrocarbons. In turn, NGL production increased 7.8% to 44.9 Kbbld given that production cuts were reduced during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019, when there was a low retention of liquids associated with gas due to restrictions in natural gas production.

Regarding the development activity, in Q1 2020, 69 new wells have been put into production, including the non-conventional shale and tight wells described below, of which 16 are not operated.

During Q1 2020, in the shale areas, YPF’s net hydrocarbon production reached 117.2 Kboed, of which 75.0% comes from YPF’s operated areas. This level of production represents an increase of 62.6% compared to Q1 2019. This production is comprised of 43.4 Kbbld of crude oil, 16.8 Kbbld of NGL and 9.1 Mm3d of natural gas. Regarding the operated development activity, 22 wells have been put into production targeting the Vaca Muerta formation (3 non-operated), reaching a total of approximately 853 active wells of which 89 are not operated, with a total of 13 active drilling rigs and 5 workovers before it started the quarantine period in mid-March, then they remained stand-by.

With respect to tight development, net production in Q1 2020 reached a total of 9.4 Mm3d of natural gas, plus 3.1 Kbbld of NGL and 4.6 Kbbld of crude oil, of which 87.0% comes from YPF operated areas. Regarding the operated activity conducted during the period, 1 new well was put into production in Estación Fernández Oro.

Operating costs (excluding exploration expenses) for Q1 2020 totaled Ps 86.4 billion, a 54.8% increase compared to Q1 2019, of which we highlight the following:

 

   

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounted to Ps 35.2 billion in Q1 2020 compared to Ps 23.1 billion in Q1 2019, representing an increase of approximately Ps 12.1 billion, or 52.2%, mainly due to the appreciation of the assets considering their valuation in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company;

 

   

Lifting costs for Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 32.2 billion, an increase of Ps 10.4 billion or 47.6% compared to Ps 21.8 billion in Q1 2019. In turn, the increase in the unit indicator, measured in Argentine pesos, was 39.2%, in line with the general increase in prices of the economy with less volume of activity in operation and maintenance of fields, interventions, chemicals and energy, among others;

 

   

Royalties and other production related costs in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 11.3 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 3.4 billion, or 43.8%, compared to Ps 7.9 billion in Q1 2019. Of this increase, Ps 2.9 billion, or 48.7% was related to royalties in connection with crude oil production, and Ps 0.5, or 28.0% billion was related to royalties for natural gas production, in both cases due to higher wellhead values of these products measured in Argentine pesos;

Transportation costs related to production (trucks, pipelines and polyducts in deposit) for Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 2.9 billion, an increase of approximately Ps 1.3 billion, or 84.1%, compared to Ps 1.6 billion for Q1 2019 due to higher tariffs measured in Argentine pesos and higher activity in unconventional areas.

Exploration expenses for Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 0.7 billion, a decrease of 53.0% compared to Ps 1.5 billion for Q1 2019, mainly due to lower negative results from unproductive exploratory drilling during the quarter in a differential amount of Ps 1.0 billion, and due to higher expenses relating to geophysical and geological studies in an amount of Ps 71 million. Exploratory investment during Q1 2020 was 95.7% lower than in Q1 2019.

Unit operating cash costs in U.S. dollars decreased 12.7% to US$ 17.6/boe in Q1 2020 from US$ 20.2/boe in Q1 2019, including taxes of US$ 4.7/boe and US$ 5.6/boe, respectively. In turn, the average lifting cost for YPF in Q1 2020 was US$ 11.3/boe, 11.7% lower than Q1 2019.

CAPEX

Capital expenditures for the Upstream business segment for Q1 2020 were Ps 29.3 billion, a 18.0% increase compared to Q1 2019. Of these capital expenditures, 73.5% were invested in drilling and workover activities, 23.7% in facilities and the remaining 2.8% in exploration and other activities in the Upstream business segment.

The activity during Q1 2020 was mainly focused on shale oil, on the development of the Loma Campana, La Amarga Chica and Bandurria Sur blocks. In addition, the activity and studies on the Chihuido de la Sierra Negra pilot continues.

Regarding conventional oil, activities were focused on primary recovery projects developed in Ugarteche, Llancanelo, Mesa Verde, Manantiales Behr, Cañadón Yatel, El Trébol-Escalante and Seco León blocks as well as secondary recovery projects mainly in the Desfiladero Bayo, Manantiales Behr, Barranca Baya and Los Perales blocks, among others. In turn, as expected, the investment activity focused on tertiary recovery continued, mainly in the Manantiales Behr, Los Perales and Desfiladero Bayo blocks.

Shale gas activity during Q1 2020 was focused on the non-operated La Calera and Aguada Pichana Este blocks.

Exploration activities for Q1 2020 were focused in the Neuquina basin, in the Chachahuen Norte block with the perforation of 3 crude oil study exploratory wells.

Additionally, seismic recording began in the Austral basin (El Turbio block). It was recorded 434 km of 2D until the tasks were suspended by DNU 297/2020 establishing the preventive and mandatory social isolation.

We highlight the increase in sales of fertilizers by 206.5%, higher sales of petrochemicals by 67.0%, higher sales of lubricants by 31.5%, in all these cases mainly due to higher prices of these products measured in Argentine pesos. This effect was offset by the lower sales of asphalts by 37.9% and crude oil by 29,9%. Regarding the sales of jet fuel, although they increased by 20.1%, due to the mandatory isolation measures their volumes were negatively affected;

 

   

On the other hand, export revenues in the Downstream segment during Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 22.0 billion, representing an increase of Ps 5.8 billion, or 35.7%, compared to such exports in Q1 2019. We highlight the export of flours and grains by Ps 1.5 billion, or 69.7% due to an increase of 65.2% in prices and 2.7% in higher volume sold. There were higher diesel exports by Ps 1.3 billion and of jet fuel by Ps 0.9 billion which represents 15.6%, driven by an increase of 53.4% in prices offset by lower volumes sold in 24.6%. In addition, higher sales of fuel oil were recorded by Ps 1.2 billion and of virgin naphtha by Ps 1.0 billion.

Cost of sales and operating expenses for Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 128.3 billion representing an increase of Ps 41.5 billion, or 47.8%, compared to Q1 2019, with the following highlights:

 

   

Crude oil purchases in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 76.5 billion, a Ps 25.3 billion or 49.4% increase compared to Ps 51.2 billion in Q1 2019. A 44.8% increase in the prices of crude oil expressed in Argentine pesos was observed, mainly due to the devaluation in the period, net of the aforementioned effect. In turn, crude oil volumes purchased from third parties increased by 4.0%, while the volume of crude oil transferred from the Upstream segment increased by 3.0%;

 

   

Biofuel purchases (biodiesel and bioethanol) for the Q1 2020 period amounted to Ps 9.8 billion, representing an increase of Ps 2.3 billion, or 31.2% with respect to Q1 2019, mainly due to an increase of 57.4% and 37.8% in the price of biodiesel and bioethanol, respectively; partially offset by lower acquired volumes of biodiesel (14.4%) and of bioethanol (7.7%) in Q1 2020;

 

   

In Q1 2020, a negative stock variation of Ps 4.0 billion was recorded in this segment compared to the positive stock variation of Ps 0.8 billion in Q1 2019, mainly due to the decrease in the crude price in Q1 2020 (at the applicable transfer price);

 

   

Regarding production costs, refining costs for Q1 2020 totaled Ps 6.9 billion, which represents an increase of approximately Ps 2.6 billion, or 60.5%, compared to Ps 4.3 billion in Q1 2019. This increase was mainly driven by higher consumption of electricity and other supplies, higher personnel expenses and higher repair and maintenance charges. Because of this, the unit refining cost increased in Q1 2020 by 55.1% compared to Q1 2019;

 

   

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 5.8 billion, which represents an increase of approximately Ps 2.5 billion, or 73.4%, mainly due to higher value of assets subject to depreciation compared to the same period of previous year and due to the higher valuation thereof when considering that the Company´s functional currency is the U.S. dollar;

 

   

Transport costs linked to production (shipping, oil pipelines and polyducts) for Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 2.8 billion, which represents an increase of Ps 0.6 billion, or 24.9% compared to Ps 2.2 billion in Q1 2019 driven mainly by higher tariffs in Argentine pesos.

Selling expenses in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 12.6 billion, representing an increase of Ps 3.9 billion, or 45.6%, compared to Ps 8.7 billion in Q1 2019. This increase was mainly driven by higher costs for transporting products, related to the increase in transportation tariffs in the domestic market, as well as higher charges on taxes, fees and contributions, mainly due to the increase in exports withholdings, higher charges on depreciation of fixed assets and higher personnel expenses, among others.

The volume of crude oil processed in Q1 2020 was 275.4 Kbbld, 2.4% higher compared to Q1 2019 mainly due the incidents occurred in the Topping D furnace of La Plata Industrial complex and power outages in La Plata and Luján de Cuyo industrial complexes in Q1 2019. Likewise, it should be considered that as of mid-March 2020, the processing level was negatively impacted by the lower demand due to the mandatory isolation measures. With these levels of processing, there was a higher production of Diesel (+5.9%), a lower production of Gasoline (-4.3%), due to lower production of Infinia Gasoline (-7.8%) and Super Gasoline (-3.1%). In addition, the production of other refined products such as LPG, fuel oil, lubricant bases and petrochemical naphtha increased, while the production of asphalts and petroleum coal decreased compared to Q1 2019.

CAPEX

Capital expenditures for Q1 2020 were Ps 5.2 billion, a 45.8% higher compared to Q1 2019.

Engineering developments continue for the new diesel and gasoline hydrotreating units to be carried out in the three refineries to comply with the new fuel specifications. This will allow to comply with the specifications set in Resolution 576/2019 of the Ministry of Treasury that will become effective in 2024.

In the Luján de Cuyo Refinery, works to revamp the MTBE Unit to ETBE continue, so that from the second half of 2021, ethanol can be incorporated directly into the blending of gasolines.

In Logistics, the construction of the new airplane refueling facility in Rosario is being carried out and the Barranqueras Terminal dock is being adapted. These works are scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2020.

In the refining, logistics and dispatch facilities for petroleum products, work continues for purposes of improving the existing infrastructure, and certain aspects related to safety and environmental protection.

The investment works were affected towards the end of Q1 2020 since the National Executive Power, in mid-March, decreed the preventive and mandatory social isolation measures. Consequently, most of the investments were suspended until the government allows to return to normal activity in each sector of the country.

In Q1 2020, the Gas and Energy business segment reported an operating loss of Ps 1.1 billion during Q1 2020 compared to an operating loss of Ps 0.2 billion during Q1 2019.

The revenues of the segment during Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 29.3 billion, representing an increase of 34.4% compared to Q1 2019, of which we highlight the following:

 

   

Sales of natural gas as producers in the local market and abroad increased by Ps 4.1 billion, or 27.9% to Ps 18.9 billion from Ps 14.8 billion in Q1 2019, as a consequence of an increase in the average price of natural gas of 18.1% (in Argentine pesos) and an 8.3% increase in the volume sold. This increase is explained since YPF captured more demand by power plants, distributors, and clients abroad that allowed sales to increase compared to Q1 2019, which was strongly influenced by excess supply compared to domestic demand and a consequent low gas production;

 

   

Sales of natural gas to the retail segment (residential customers and small industries) and through its marketing to large customers (power plants and industries) increased by Ps 0.5 billion, or 9.2%, to Ps 5.9 billion from Ps 5.4 billion in Q1 2019. This increase was due to the fact that our controlled company Metrogas S.A. obtained higher average sale prices of 23.7% in Argentine pesos through its distribution network;

 

   

The Tango FLNG unit operation started in 2019, a floating natural gas liquefaction facility, whose exports totaled Ps 1.3 billion during the first quarter of 2020.

Total operating costs for Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 30.4 billion representing an increase of 38.2%, compared to Ps 22.0 billion in Q1 2019, primarily due to the following factors:

 

   

Purchases of natural gas amounted to Ps 19.9 billion, increasing by Ps 4.9 billion or 32.8% from Ps 15.0 billion in Q1 2019, driven by 14.9% increase in prices, measured in Argentine pesos, mainly due to the devaluation that occurred in the current period. In addition, volume purchased from third parties decreased by 41.2%, while volumes transferred from the Upstream segment increased by 18.4%;

 

   

Purchases of natural gas from other producers for resale in the retail distribution segment (residential customers and small businesses) and from its marketing to large customers (power plants and industries) in Q1 2020 amounted to Ps 2.9 billion, which represents a decrease of Ps 0.7 billion, or 20.4%, from Ps 3.6 billion in Q1 2019, mainly driven by a 22.6% reduction in volumes purchased.

3.4 CORPORATE AND OTHERS

This business segment involves mainly corporate costs and other activities that are not reported in any of the previously mentioned business segments.

Corporate operating income for Q1 2020 was a loss of Ps 3.5 billion, compared to a loss of Ps 2.1 billion in Q1 2019. This higher loss was related to the expected losses in ongoing projects mainly from our controlled company A-Evangelista S.A. Additionally, in Q1 2020 it was observed an increase in personnel expenses, higher IT costs on computer licenses, many of which are denominated in U.S. dollars, together with higher charges for depreciation of fixed assets, which were partially offset by the revenues recorded under this business segment.

Consolidation adjustments to eliminate results among business segments not transferred to third parties were positive Ps 14.6 billion for Q1 2020 compared to Ps 1.3 billion for Q1 2019. In both quarters, the gap between the transfer prices between businesses and the replacement cost of the Company’s inventories decreased. In both cases, the movement of transfer prices reflects the changes in market prices, especially of crude oil.

4. LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

In Q1 2020, net cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to Ps 59.0 billion, which represents an 38.3% increase compared to Q1 2019. This Ps 16.3 billion variation was mainly due to a Ps 12.4 billion increase in Adjusted EBITDA, without considering the result associated with the transfer of the SPM share package in the Bandurria Sur area, and due to a decrease in working capital variations, which include the collection of three instalments of “Plan Gas Bonds” during the quarter. The generation of funds during the first quarter of 2020 was sufficient to cover the amount that the Company required to finance the investments made during the period.

   Consolidated Results Q1 2020

 

 

Net cash flows used in investing activities were Ps 42.2 billion for Q1 2020, 42.6% higher than in Q1 2019. Investments in fixed and intangible assets were Ps 48.5 billion in Q1 2020, 59.0% higher than in Q1 2019. There was a lower realization of the holdings of public bonds BONAR 2020 and 2021 of Ps 1.0 billion. This was offset by the collection of the result associated with the transfer of the SPM share package of the Bandurria Sur area in Q1 2019 by Ps 6.4 billion.

Because of its financing activities, in Q1 2020 the Company had a net decrease in funds of Ps 18.0 billion, compared to a net decrease of Ps 7.6 billion in Q1 2019. This difference was mainly driven by a net increase in debt of Ps 0.7 billion, by a higher interest payment of Ps 7.7 billion and by a higher leasing payment of Ps 3.4 billion.

The previously described cash generation, together with the Company’s investment in Argentine sovereign bonds, including those received to cancel the accounts receivables of the Gas Plan program for the year 2015, which are still in the Company´s portfolio, resulted in a position of cash and cash equivalents of Ps 74.6 billion (1) as of March 31, 2020.

Total debt in U.S. dollars was US$ 8.8 billion, and net debt was US$ 7.6 billion(2) with a Net debt / Adjusted EBITDA LTM ratio of 2.22x(2).

The average interest rate for debt denominated in Argentine pesos at the end of Q1 2020 was 36.0%, while the average interest rate for debt denominated in U.S. dollars was 7.6%.

YPF negotiable obligations issued during Q1 2020 are detailed below:
