Petrobras financial performance in 1Q22
Rio de Janeiro, May 05, 2022 - Once again we delivered solid quarterly results. "These financial results are due to the fact that today we have a healthy Petrobras, which has reduced its debt burden, invests responsibly and operates efficiently. Therefore, it is possible to generate this compelling return to our shareholders, especially the Brazilian society, represented by the State. This generates economic development throughout the production chain, generating jobs, income and tax revenues for the country. In this quarter, we have paid out to the federal government, states and municipalities the equivalent of 1.5 times our net income. Petrobras is distributing the fruits of its value generation to the Brazilian population", underlines Petrobras' CEO, José Mauro Coelho.
According to the CFO, Rodrigo Araujo Alves, "First quarter results show that we stand firm in our trajectory of transforming Petrobras into a much more solid company that invests responsibly and is able to create and distribute wealth to our shareholders and to society. In this regard, we approved shareholder remuneration of R$ 3.72 per common and preferred share. Additionally, in the first quarter alone, we collected a total of R$ 69.9 billion in taxes and government take, an increase of 95% compared to the first quarter of last year".
Main achievements:
§ | Recurring EBITDA of US$ 15.1 billion (+35% vs 4Q21) and free cash flow of US$ 7.9 billion (+6% vs 4Q21). |
§ | Net debt of US$ 40.1 billion (-16% vs 4Q21), resulting in a Net Debt/EBITDA ratio of 0.8x. |
§ | Recurring net income of US$ 8.4 billion (+96% vs 4Q21). |
§ | Strong cash generation, solid liquidity and the outlook for sustainable results allowed the Company to approve shareholder remuneration in the amount of R$ 3.72 per outstanding common and preferred share. |

(*) Sales revenues from operations outside of Brazil, including trading and excluding exports |
In 1Q22, net revenue grew 6% compared to 4Q21, mainly due to the 27% increase in Brent prices, higher volumes of oil sales in the domestic market due to the sale of the Mataripe refinery (RLAM), which was concluded on November 30, 2021, and the higher volume of oil exports due to the growth in oil production and the realization of ongoing exports from 4Q21. These effects were partially offset by the lower volume of oil product sales in the domestic market mainly due to seasonal aspects and the divestment of RLAM, impacting sales of diesel, gasoline and LPG in 1Q22.
There was also a drop in electricity revenues, given the lower thermoelectric generation due to the improvement in hydrological conditions in 1Q22.
In terms of the breakdown of revenues in the domestic market, diesel and gasoline continued to be the main products, together accounting for 72% of oil products domestic sales in 1Q22.

In 1Q22, we kept on diversifying our global customer base for our oil exports. Búzios remained the main stream in our export basket. Recently added streams, Atapu and Sepia, have increased their relevance in exports. In 4Q21, we traded the first export of the Sépia stream and in 1Q22 new cargoes of this stream were traded and new clients were added to our portfolio.
In 1Q22, we had the following distribution of export destinations:

In 1Q22, cost of goods sold decreased 11% when compared to 4Q21, mainly reflecting lower natural gas and oil products imports. It is worth noting the decline of LNG in the breakdown of natural gas purchases, given the reduction of 14 MMm³/day in regasification volumes, which reached 10 MM m3/day in 1Q22, mainly due to lower demand for gas for thermoelectric plants because of the improvement in hydrological conditions.
Production costs increased 19% in 1Q22, mainly due to production growth and higher government take, which followed Brent prices.

Power generation costs fell in 1Q22 compared with 4Q21, due to the reduction in dispatch from the Company's own thermal plants.

In 1Q22, operating expenses were R$ 11.2 billion in comparison with R$ 1.3 billion in 4Q21. This variation was mainly because of the gains of R$ 8.5 billion, in 4Q21, with the sale of the Mataripe Refinery (RLAM) and with the contingent portion of the sale of the Carcará asset (currently the Bacalhau field), partially offset by the gain of R$ 1.7 billion with the sale of the Alagoas Cluster in 1Q22.
Selling and general and administrative expenses remained at a similar level to 4Q21.
In 1Q22, there was a reduction in exploration costs, mainly due to lower expenses with geology and geophysics and with projects without economic viability.
The increase in R&D costs was mainly due to the increase in Brent prices, given that the provision for R&D projects considers a percentage of gross production revenues in certain fields.
In 4Q21, there was an impairment reversal of US$ 0.3 billion, mainly due to the inclusion of the 2nd unit of RNEST in the 2022-26 Strategic Plan, which also contributed to the increase in operating expenses in 1Q22.
Adjusted EBITDA
In 1Q22, Adjusted EBITDA rose 33% to R$ 77.7 billion mainly due to the increase in Brent prices in the period, higher oil exports, higher diesel margins and lower LNG imports, partially offset by lower sales volumes of oil products.

The financial result was positive by R$ 3 billion in 1Q22, compared to a negative result of US$ 13.8 billion in 4Q21, mainly reflecting the appreciation of the BRL against the USD (appreciation of 15% in 1Q22 against a depreciation of 3% in 4Q21).
We ended 1Q22 with a currency exposure of US$ 17 billion compared to US$ 17.6 billion in 4Q21. It is worth noting that in 1Q21, the currency exposure was US$ 34.8 billion, causing higher volatility in financial results.
Net profit (loss) attributable to Petrobras shareholders
Net income in 1Q22 was R$ 44.6 billion, compared to R$ 31.5 billion in 4Q21. This increase was mainly due to the higher Brent prices in the period, coupled with higher margins on diesel, higher oil exports, lower costs with LNG imports, foreign exchange gains due to the appreciation of the BRL against the USD, and gains from equity-accounted investments. On the other hand, in 1Q22 there were lower gains from the disposal of assets (-R$ 6.7 billion) and from the reversal of impairment (-R$ 1.5 billion) compared to 4Q21. With higher pre-tax income, there was a higher income tax and social contribution expense (+R$ 10.8 billion) in 1Q22 compared with 4Q21.
Recurring net income attributable to Petrobras shareholders and recurring Adjusted EBITDA
In 1Q22, net income was benefited by non-recurring items in the total amount of R$ 1.2 billion. Net income in 1Q22 would have been R$ 43.4 billion without the non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA was basically unaffected by non-recurring items.

In 1Q22, capex totaled US$ 1.8 billion, out of which more than 53% capex was related to growth.
Growth capex are those with the primary objective of increasing the capacity of existing assets, deploying new production, offloading, and storage assets, increasing asset efficiency or profitability, and deploying essential infrastructure to enable other growth projects. It includes acquisitions of assets/companies and remaining investments in systems that started up as of 2020 and exploratory investments.
Sustaining capex, on the other hand, has the main objective of maintaining the operation of existing assets. It does not aim at increasing the capacity of the facilities. It includes investments in safety and reliability of facilities, replacement well projects, complementary development, remaining investments in systems that started up before 2020, scheduled stoppages and revitalizations (without new systems), 4D seismic, health, environment, and safety (HSE) projects, subsea line exchanges, operational infrastructure and information technology (IT).
In 1Q22, capex in the Exploration & Production segment totaled US$ 1.4 billion, with approximately 61% related to growth. Investments were mainly concentrated on: (i) the development of ultra-deepwater production in the Santos Basin pre-salt (US$ 0.5 billion); (ii) development of new deepwater projects (US$ 0.2 billion); and (iii) exploratory investments in the pre-salt and post-salt (US$ 0.1 billion).
In the Refining, Transportation and Marketing segment, capex totaled US$ 0.3 billion in 1Q22, of which approximately 16% was related to growth. In Gas & Power, capex totaled US$ 0.1 billion in 1Q22, with approximately 64% related to growth.

Portfolio management
In 1Q22, cash inflows from divestments totaled US$ 1.8 billion, including US$950 million deferred payment from the sale of the Bacalhau field (formerly Carcará area) in February 2022. From January 1, 2022, to May 05, 2022, we concluded the sale of the Alagoas Cluster and exploratory blocks in Parana Basin. Additionally, we signed the contracts for the sale of the Potiguar Cluster, the Norte Capixaba Cluster, the Albacora East field and Deten Química. Finnaly, it is worth mentioning that in April 2022, we received a deferred payment for the sale of 90% of NTS, in the amount of US$ 1 billion.

As of March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled R$ 81.6 billion and adjusted cash and cash equivalents totaled R$ 87.6 billion.
In 1Q22, cash generated from operating activities reached R$ 52.8 billion. The company's operating cash generation was impacted by the partial prepayment of a pension liability - the Pre-70 Term of Financial Commitment (TFC Pre-70) and Pension Difference Term of Financial Commitment (TCF Pension Difference), celebrated with the Fundação Petrobras de Seguridade Social (Petros), in the amount of R$ 6.9 billion.
Positive free cash flow totaled R$ 40.5 billion. This level of cash generation, together with the inflow from divestments of R$ 9.3 billion, were used to: (a) prepay debt and amortize principal and interest due in the period (R$ 10.7 billion), (b) amortize lease liabilities (R$ 6.9 billion), and (c) fund capex of R$ 12.3 billion (including the payment of the signature bonus of Sépia and Atapu, in the amount of R$ 4.2 billion).
In 1Q22, liability management was carried out aiming at improving the debt profile and matching maturities of long-term investments. The company settled several loans and financial debt, in the amount of R$ 10.7 billion, notably the repurchase and redemption of R$ 3.5 billion of securities in the international capital market.
The maintenance of gross debt at the level established in our 2022-26 Strategic Plan, the high level of cash generation, and solid liquidity allowed the company to approve shareholder remuneration in the amount of R$ 3.72 per outstanding common and preferred share.
[1]* Includes short-term government bonds and time deposits and cash and cash equivalents of companies classified as held for sale.
** Free cash flow (FCF) is in accordance with the Shareholder Remuneration Policy, which is the result of the equation: FCF = net cash provided by operating activities less acquisitions of PP&E and intangible assets

In 1Q22, E&P gross profit was R$ 62.5 billion, an increase of 21% when compared to 4Q21. This increase was due to higher Brent prices and higher production, partially offset by higher government participation. Operating profit was 13.5% higher than in 4Q21, as a consequence of the higher gross profit.
Lifting cost for 1Q22, without government take and leasing, was US$ 5.22/boe, an increase of 6% when compared to US$ 4.91/boe in 1Q21. The increase is explained by the appreciation of the BRL and higher expenses with integrity, mainly with platforms maintenance (activities that were held off during the COVID-19 pandemic and which could be carried out once the scenario improved. These actions aim to ensure systems reliability). These effects were partially offset by the active management of the portfolio with the divestments in onshore fields and the ramp-up of FPSO Carioca.
In 1Q22, Petrobras recorded a 1% increase in lifting cost, without government take and leasing, when compared to 4Q21, remaining practically stable versus the previous quarter.
In the pre-salt, the lifting cost remained stable compared to 4Q21.
In the post-salt, the increase of 5% in the lifting cost, when compared to 4Q21, was mainly due to the effect of the appreciation of the BRL.
In onshore and shallow water assets, there was an increase in the lifting cost in 1Q22, mainly due to higher expenses with wells intervention, also associated with the effect of the BRL appreciation and some production decline. These effects were partially offset by the divestments in Bahia and Sergipe.
The higher expenses with government take in dollars are explained by higher Brent prices

In 1Q22, gross profit for the Refining, Transportation and Marketing (RTM) segment, was R$ 16.3 billions, R$ 3.7 billions above 4Q21, mainly due to the higher positive effect of inventory turnover between quarters (R$ 10.3 billions in 1Q22 vs. R$ 7.3 billion in 4Q21). Excluding this effect, gross profit would have been R$ 6 billions in 1Q22 and R$ 5.4 billions in 4Q21.
In 1Q22, there was a higher margin of oil products in the domestic market, mainly diesel, due to the increase of international margins. There were lower sales volumes in the domestic market for gasoline, diesel and LPG due to the typical seasonality of these oil products and the conclusion of the sale of the Mataripe Refinery (RLAM), on November 30 , 2021, whose capacity represented approximately 13% of the total capacity of Petrobras Refining facilities.
In 1Q22, the operating result was lower than 4Q21. The increase in gross profit was offset by the equity gain from the sale of the Mataripe Refinery (RLAM) and by the reversal of impairment related to the 2nd train of RNEST, events that took place in 4Q21.
In 1Q22, the refining cost per barrel in BRL was lower than in 4Q21, due to the cost reduction achieved in Petrobras Refining facilities. There was also an effect of lower throughput in 1Q22, due to the lower number of days in this quarter. With the sale of RLAM, this was the first quarter without the full contribution of this refinery in our refining facilities.

In 1Q22, in the Gas and Power segment, there was an increase in gross profit (+R$ 2.9 billions) when compared to 4Q21, due to the higher average natural gas sales prices, due to the increase in Brent prices and new sales contracts for the non-thermoelectric segment. Additionally, with the recovery of hydroelectric reservoir levels, there was a reduction in demand for natural gas for thermoelectric generation, which led to a lower volume of regasified LNG and, consequently, to a reduction in the average cost of purchased gas.
Despite the efforts made to rebalance the portfolios and the increase of 49% in operational result in 1Q22, we recorded an operating loss of R$ 2.2 billions. The increase in selling expenses, mainly driven by the yearly adjustment of natural gas transport prices, also contributed to this result.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is an indicator calculated as the net income for the period plus taxes on profit, net financial result, depreciation and amortization. Petrobras announces EBITDA, as authorized by CVM Instruction 527 of October 2012.
In order to reflect the management view regarding the formation of the company's current business results, EBITDA is also presented adjusted (Adjusted EBITDA) as a result of: results in equity-accounted investments; impairment, reclassification of comprehensive income (loss) due to the disposal of equity-accounted investments, results with co-participation agreement in production fields and gains/losses on disposal/write-offs of assets.
Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting the sum of the last twelve months (Last Twelve Months), also represents an alternative to the company's operating cash generation. This measure is used to calculate the Gross Debt and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA metric, helping to evaluate the company's leverage and liquidity.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not provided for in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and should not serve as a basis for comparison with those disclosed by other companies and should not be considered as a substitute for any other measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. These measures should be considered in conjunction with other measures and indicators for a better understanding of the company's performance and financial condition.
