Moody's Downgrades Ecopetrol's Global Credit Rating to Ba2 and Affirms Its Stand-Alone Credit Profile at b1May 6, 2026 10:55 AM
PR Newswire (US) BOGOTA, Columbia, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ecopetrol S.A (BVC: ECOPETROL; NYSE: EC) hereby informs that today, the credit rating agency Moody's Ratings downgraded the Company's global credit rating from Ba1 to Ba2 and revised the outlook from stable to negative. In contrast, the agency affirmed Ecopetrol's Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA), or stand-alone credit profile, at b1, highlighting the Company's intrinsic strength. According to Moody's, the downgrade to Ba2 with a negative outlook is mainly driven by a less favorable view on the support from the Government of Colombia, stemming from an increased perception of potential government interference and reduced clarity regarding the timeliness and predictability of support mechanisms, particularly those related to the Fuel Price Stabilization Fund (FEPC). In this context, Moody's also included considerations related to Ecopetrol's corporate governance and its influence on the rating.Additionally, Moody's incorporated the possibility of higher refinancing risk associated to a potential material merger and acquisition transaction financed with short-term debt. Nevertheless, the agency highlighted that the Company has strong sources of liquidity that support its financial profile.Moody's reaffirmed Ecopetrol's stand-alone credit profile (BCA) at b1, considering the Company's solid business profile as Colombia's leading integrated oil and gas company, supported by the diversification of its operations, moderate leverage levels, an adequate liquidity position, and its strategic role in ensuring the country's energy supply.The complete report published by Moody's is provided below.Ecopetrol is the largest company in Colombia and one of the main integrated energy companies in the American continent, with more than 19,000 employees.

Ecopetrol enters into an Agreement to acquire an equity stake in Brava Energia S.A. a company domiciled in BrazilApril 23, 2026 3:08 PM
PR Newswire (US)

BOGOTA, Colombia, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ecopetrol S.A (BVC: ECOPETROL; NYSE: EC) hereby announces that on April 23, 2026, it entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Jive, Yellowstone and Bloco Somah Printemps Quantum, which together constitute a group of significant shareholders holding approximately 26% of the outstanding common shares of the Brazilian company Brava Energia S.A. (B3: BRAV3) ("Brava"), for the acquisition by Ecopetrol S.A., or one of its affiliates or subsidiaries within the Ecopetrol Group, of 120,813,490 shares of Brava, representing approximately 26% of Brava's share capital.
Brava was incorporated in 2024 from the merger between 3R Petroleum Óleo e Gás S.A. and Enauta Participações S.A., two oil and gas companies operating in Brazil. Brava currently conducts crude oil and natural gas production activities in offshore and onshore fields across multiple basins in Brazil as well as participates in the midstream and downstream segments. As of December 2025, according to Brava's public information, the Company reported EBITDA of USD 806 million, with an EBITDA margin of 39%. Brava is positioned as the second-largest independent company listed in the Brazilian market in terms of reserves and production.The completion of this transaction is subject to certain customary conditions precedent, including, among others, approval by Brazil's Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE), the grant of certain waivers and consents considering Brava's financing instruments and relevant commercial agreements, as well as the purchase by Ecopetrol S.A., or one of its affiliates or subsidiaries within the Ecopetrol Group, of the number of shares required to achieve a 51% controlling stake of Brava's voting share capital.Therefore,  Ecopetrol S.A., or one of its affiliates or subsidiaries within the Ecopetrol Group, plans to launch a Voluntary Tender Offer (Oferta Pública de Aquisição – OPA) on the B3 stock exchange in Brazil, at a price of R$23.00 per share, to acquire the additional number of Brava shares required to secure a 51% equity interest in the Company. This offer price represents a premium of approximately 27.8% over the Volume–Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the Company's shares during the 90 trading days immediately preceding the date of this announcement. The tender offer is addressed to all of Brava's shareholders, ensuring equal treatment and conditions, and will be subject to applicable regulatory requirements and certain conditions precedent.Ecopetrol S.A., or one of its affiliates or subsidiaries within the Ecopetrol Group expects to secure the funding required to consummate the transaction through a bridge loan, subject to the fulfillment of the applicable conditions precedent.Upon completion of the transaction, the Ecopetrol Group would incorporate pro–rata 1P reserves based on its ownership interest from Brava's total reported reserves of 459 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) as of year-end 2025, under the Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) standard, through a diversified portfolio of offshore and onshore assets. In addition, the transaction would allow the immediate addition of pro–rata production from Brava's average reported production of approximately 81 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (Mboed) in 2025, strengthening production sustainability and cash flow generation in a geography where the Ecopetrol Group already has an established presence. This transaction directly supports the objectives set forth in the Ecopetrol Group's 2040 Strategy. Moreover, the transaction is aligned with the Ecopetrol Group's capital discipline and, upon closing, is expected to contribute to metrics such as ROACE and EBITDA. Finally, this transaction would expand the Ecopetrol Group's footprint in Brazil, diversifying its asset base in a high–growth region and strengthening its international portfolio.Once the applicable conditions precedent and legal requirements for closing the transaction have been satisfied, Ecopetrol will disclose relevant information in accordance with the applicable legal and regulatory framework through this same channel and/or any other required means.Ecopetrol is the largest company in Colombia and one of the main integrated energy companies in the American continent, with more than 19,000 employees. In Colombia, it is responsible for more than 60% of the hydrocarbon production of most transportation, logistics, and hydrocarbon refining systems, and it holds leading positions in the petrochemicals and gas distribution segments.

Standard & Poor's Global Ratings (S&P) Affirms Ecopetrol's Stand-Alone Credit Profile and Revises Its Global Credit RatingApril 9, 2026 8:20 AM

BOGOTA, Columbia, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ecopetrol S.A. (BVC: ECOPETROL; NYSE: EC) ("Ecopetrol") informs that S&P Global Ratings, in its report dated April 8, 2026, revised Ecopetrol's global credit rating from BB to BB-, with a stable outlook, in line with the adjustment made to the sovereign credit rating of the Republic of Colombia on the same date.







S&P affirmed Ecopetrol's Stand-Alone Credit Profile (SACP) at bb+.In its report, S&P stated that Ecopetrol's global credit rating continues to be constrained by Colombia's sovereign rating, considering the Ecopetrol's relevance to the country's fiscal revenue generation, its status as a government-related entity, and its strategic role in the national energy sector. Accordingly, the stable outlook assigned to Ecopetrol directly reflects the outlook of the sovereign rating. The full report issued by S&P Global Ratings may be consulted below:Ecopetrol is the largest company in Colombia and one of the main integrated energy companies in the American continent, with more than 19,000 employees. In Colombia, it is responsible for more than 60% of the hydrocarbon production of most transportation, logistics, and hydrocarbon refining systems, and it holds leading positions in the petrochemicals and gas distribution segments.

Downgraded To 'BB-' From 'BB' Following Similar Action On The Sovereign; Outlook StableRating Action OverviewOn April 8, 2026, S&P Global Ratings lowered its long-term foreign currency sovereign credit rating on Colombia to 'BB-' from 'BB' and long-term local currency sovereign credit rating to BB' from 'BB+' because of continued underperformance in its fiscal consolidation amid upcoming election period.Our ratings on Ecopetrol S.A. are capped by the sovereign rating, reflecting its significant contribution to Colombia's revenues via dividend distributions and government royalties, the government's ownership stake, and its key role in the country's energy transition.  As a result, on April 8, 2026, we lowered our issuer credit and issue-level ratings on Ecopetrol to 'BB-' from 'BB'.The revised outlook to stable from negative on Ecopetrol reflects that on Colombia. Rating Action Rationale Colombia's creditworthiness weakened due to fiscal risks and economic vulnerabilities.  Our sovereign credit ratings on Colombia are constrained by its limited fiscal flexibility, high and rising debt burden, weak external position characterized by volatile terms of trade, and moderate GDP per capita, all exacerbated by increasingly unpredictable fiscal policy. Unpredictable government policies, including broken fiscal rules and budget shortfalls, are causing deficits and inflation. While Colombia has a stable political system, ongoing security issues and recent election results create uncertainty about future economic improvements. The new government faces pressure to spend more while struggling to raise revenue, and the country remains vulnerable to global economic changes and oil price fluctuations. (See Colombia Long-Term Foreign Currency Rating Lowered To 'BB-' From 'BB' Due To Fiscal Imbalances; Outlook Stable, April 8, 2026. Our ratings on Ecopetrol remain capped by the credit risk of the sovereign and continue to move in line with our ratings on Colombia. We assess the probability of timely and sufficient government support to Ecopetrol under stress as very high, based on the government's 88.49% ownership stake and Ecopetrol's critical role as Colombia's leading oil and gas producer. Ecopetrol remains a substantial revenue contributor to Colombia, as demonstrated by the approximately Colombian peso (COP)11.7 trillion dividend distribution in 2025. The company also continues to invest about 3.0% of expected investments for 2026 in Colombia's energy transition, supporting the development of cleaner energy sources and increased natural gas availability.Recent government actions could limit Ecopetrol's future financial performance should they become permanent. Specifically, the agreement effective April 1, 2026, for Ecopetrol (and its Cartagena refinery) to receive approximately COP1.6 trillion from the first-quarter 2025 account of Colombia's Fuel Price Stabilization Fund (FEPC)--funded by Treasury bonds (TES) issued by the Republic of Colombia--suggests weaker fiscal consolidation and revenue expectations for the current administration. This suggests less flexibility for Ecopetrol to reduce dividends if needed.Dividend payments to the government resulted in free cash flow to debt (DCF) ratios of -5.0%, significantly below our 2.5% expectation. This highlights the government's significant influence over Ecopetrol's cash flow, as dividends consistently represent 40%-60% of net income. The government's continued tendency to maximize dividend payouts, coupled with its ongoing fiscal challenges, raises the possibility of constraints on Ecopetrol's future financial flexibility.OutlookThe stable outlook on Ecopetrol remains tied to that of Colombia, reflecting the company's continued importance to the Colombian economy and its strong relationship with the government. As a result, we expect our ratings on Ecopetrol to move in line with those on the sovereign.Downside scenarioWe could take a negative rating action on Ecopetrol in the next 12 months if we take a similar action on Colombia.On the other hand, we could revise its stand-alone credit profile (SACP) down in the next 12 months if:The company's financial performance weakens such that we expect its adjusted net debt to EBITDA to consistently rise close to 3.0x. This could stem from lower prices, weaker production sales, or increased debt beyond our expectations;We perceive weaker business for Ecopetrol if it posts declines in production or replacement ratios below 100%; or Ecopetrol prioritizes cash outflows as dividends rather than for maintenance and growth capital expenditures (capex).Upside scenarioWe could take a positive rating action on Ecopetrol if we were to take a similar action on the long-term foreign currency sovereign credit rating on Colombia.Although unlikely within the next 12 months, we could revise up the SACP to 'bbb-' if the company's operating and financial performance is well above our expectations. This scenario could result if:Ecopetrol has higher-than-expected production stemming from investments in Colombia or international fields;The company has debt-to-EBITDA ratios below 2.0x while improving profitability margins despite price volatility;Ecopetrol improves cash flows after capex and dividends, leading to discretionary cash flow to debt at or above 15%; orThere are more independent board members and the company improves board member turnover.Company DescriptionEcopetrol is a vertically integrated oil and gas company based in Bogota, Colombia. The company also engages in power and infrastructure-related activities. It has a presence in Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, the U.S. Gulf Coast, and Singapore, as well as in Chile, Peru, and Bolivia through Interconexión Eléctrica S.A.

Ecopetrol (NYSE: EC), Colombia's state-controlled oil company, maintains low production costs per barrel, with lifting costs reported below $12 per barrel in H1 2025 through operational efficiencies. The company targets sustaining these levels into year-end and beyond, supported by measures in its Profitability and Efficiency Program.?Lifting costs represent direct production expenses like extraction and basic operations, excluding refining or transportation. Ecopetrol's full all-in sustaining costs remain competitive, with break-even oil prices historically around $36 per barrel in prior analyses, though current metrics emphasize the sub-$12 lifting target.?These low costs provide resilience amid volatile Brent prices (projected at $73/bbl for 2025 scenarios), enabling profitability even if oil dips. Permian Basin expansions further bolster output at efficient rates.

The company reported Q1 net income of COP886B, well more than double that of a year ago. EBITDA of COP5.81T topped estimates for COP4.76T.

At work, of course, were higher oil and gas prices even as oil output slipped 3.3% thanks to attacks on fields. There was also the Cano Limon pipeline, which was out of operation for 47 days during Q1. Sales of COP 13.4T were shy of estimates for COP13.7T.

Ecopetrol, Anadarko discover gas in deepwater Caribbean

Ecopetrol (EC +1.7%) says it has discovered gas at an exploratory well it shares with Anadarko Petroleum (APC -9.3%) in the deepwater Caribbean Sea.

EC says the set of gas fields in the area opens the possibility for Colombia to develop a cluster specialized in gas production, which would allow sharing of facilities and improve efficiency.

Ecopetrol restarts Cano-Limon oil pipeline after attacks
Colombia's Ecopetrol (EC +0.6%) says it has restarted the country's second largest oil pipeline, the Cano-Limon Covenas, after a series of bomb attacks by rebels halted movement of crude for seven weeks.
The reopening of the pipeline should soon permit production to resume at the Cano Limon and Caricare fields, operated by Occidental Petroleum (OXY +0.2%), which suspended production there early last month because of the attacks.
EC said last month that attacks on the pipeline had cost Colombia 893K barrels of oil production so far this year.

Colombia's Ecopetrol says rebel attacks cut production by 893K barrels
Colombia's state oil company Ecopetrol (NYSE:EC) has lost 893K barrels of oil production, more than a day's worth of total national output, this year due to rebel attacks on the Cano Limon-Covenas pipeline.
Crude oil production at the Cano Limon field, operated by Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY), has been suspended since March 6 because of escalating rebel attacks on the Cano Limon-Covenas pipeline.
The pipeline transports crude from the fields in Arauca province, near the border with Venezuela, to a port in the Caribbean Sea for export, and produces ~52K bbl/day.

Rating Action: Moody's affirms Ecopetrol's ratings and assigns Baa2 rating to its proposed notes




Global Credit Research - 23 Jun 2015







New York, June 23, 2015 -- Moody's Investors Service today affirmed Ecopetrol S.A. (Ecopetrol)'s Baa2 ratings and assigned a Baa2 rating to the company's up to USD1.5 billion in proposed notes due 2026. The proposed securities are senior unsecured and pari passu with Ecopetrol's other senior foreign currency debt, which is also rated Baa2. Proceeds from the notes issuance will be used primarily to fund capital expenditures. The rating outlook is stable.



RATINGS RATIONALE



"The rating affirmation was based on Ecopetrol's solid business strategy, now focused on expanding exploration activities to increase reserves as well as on improving production recovery and operating efficiencies across the board, which will help the company protect its credit quality through the current cycle of lower oil prices", said Nymia Almeida, a Vice president - Sr. Credit Officer at Moody's. The ratings affirmation also considered Ecopetrol's status as Colombia's leading oil and gas producer, accounting for about two-thirds of the country's production, and the size of its operations, which benefits from having valuable assets that can be relatively easily monetized. A baseline credit assessment (BCA) of baa3 underlies the company's Baa2 issuer rating, which derives one notch of uplift under Moody's joint-default analysis, based on a high level of government support and moderate default correlation.



Leverage will increase in 2015 but is manageable based on the company's declining production costs, operating efficiency programs and previously moderate financial leverage for its rating category. Moody's expects that Ecopetrol's leverage will peak during 2015 but will decline starting in 2016 as oil prices and production gradually increase and costs and expenses decline further. Moody's also expects that, during the current period of lower operating cash flows, the government take as a percentage of net income will remain below the usual 80%; the rating agency notes that the dividend payout ratio in 2014 (paid in 2015) was 70%.



Ecopetrol's capex program of USD7.9 billion in 2015, relatively stable from 2014, is focused on exploration and production in over 59% of total. Exploration capex alone should increase from USD600 million in 2015 to an average of over USD1 billion in the next three years, with the goal of sustaining replacement ratio at 100%, at least. Lower annual capex starting in 2016 will be driven by lower capex in downstream, which will decline materially from USD1.5 billion annually in the last several years to an immaterial amount after the upgrade of refinery Reficar is completed, at the end of 2015. Moody's expects Ecopetrol's daily oil and gas production, which was 755 mboed in 2014, to increase at mid-single rates annually in the next couple of years.



Ecopetrol's rating stable outlook incorporates higher financial leverage in 2015 given weaker internally generated cash flow, caused by lower oil prices, and lower production than originally planned. In addition, the company has traditionally paid a high statutory dividend, which competes with funds needed for reinvestment. However, Moody's expects that ongoing cost controls and operating efficiencies as well as lower dividend payout ratio, at least related to fiscal year 2015 and 2016, will support free cash flow. In addition, although the government's stake in Ecopetrol cannot fall below 80%, the company can still issue an additional 8.5% of equity for financing, if necessary, although not envisioned at this point by the company.



An upgrade is unlikely in the near term given Ecopetrol's weakened credit metrics. Longer term, its BCA and ratings could be upgraded if it strengthens its balance sheet and reduces financial leverage to around 1 time gross debt to EBITDA. Conversely, ratings could be pressured downwards if production growth is significantly underperforms or if the company's debt increases materially beyond expectations or if the company fails to maintain Retained Cash Flow/Net Debt above 20% on a sustainable basis beyond 2015. The ratings could also be pressured if we viewed government support as likely to weaken. Actual rating outcomes in the future would take into account sovereign rating considerations, such as country rating and ceilings or support and dependence assumptions between the company and the government of Colombia, among other factors.
