* Considers only non-recurring items that impact EBITDA

** Net Income excluding non-recurring items and without the Exchange rate effect of Real vs Dollar

  

 

In this third quarter of 2024, we achieved consistent financial results amid a context of declining Brent prices, which we were able to offset with higher sales volumes of oil products. We maintained strong cash generation of US$ 11.3 billion, up 24% from the previous quarter, sustained by the quality and performance of our assets. In 3Q24, we had no significant impact from non-recurring items, unlike in 2Q24. As a result, we recorded a net profit of US$ 5.9 billion and recurring EBITDA of US$ 11.6 billion.

We are also pleased to announce that we made investments of US$ 4.5 billion in this third quarter, around 30% more than last quarter. In the first nine months of the year, Petrobras investments amounted to US$ 10.9 billion. This demonstrates our commitment to delivering our projects and executing our Strategic Plan with diligence.

Evidence of this commitment is reflected in the early start-up of Maria Quitéria FPSO. Exactly 15 days later, FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias started operating on October 30. Also in October, FPSO Almirante Tamandaré arrived in Brazil. This effort to execute and even anticipating deadlines deadlines will translate into accelerated revenue generation as these assets reach full capacity and in the increased supply of energy to the country. We are committed to Petrobras' growth and to creating value for shareholders and Brazilian society." Fernando Melgarejo, Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer

Consolidated Results

Consolidated results

In 3Q24, we posted solid results, despite a challenging external scenario. Recurring Adjusted EBITDA reached US$ 11.6 billion and recurring net income was US$ 5.9 billion.

Recurring Adjusted EBITDA for 3Q24 was 3% lower than the previous quarter, reflecting a 6% decline in Brent prices and a lower margin on oil products, especially diesel, due to a 16% international crack spread decrease. These impacts were partially offset by a higher volume of oil produced in the oil products mix and the increase in sales.

In addition, there was an increase in domestic oil sales, due to increased deliveries to Acelen, and higher revenues from electricity.

Operating expenses totaled US$ 3.6 billion, a 28% decrease compared to 2Q24, mainly reflecting the absence of special items recorded in the previous quarter, especially costs related to the tax transaction.

The financial result for 3Q24 was a negative US$ 281 million, an improvement from the negative $6.9 billion recorded in 2Q24. This result was mainly impacted by the appreciation of BRL against dollar. BRL appreciated by 2% in 3Q24 (final exchange rate of R$5.45/US$), compared to a 11.2% depreciation in 2Q24 (final exchange rate of R$5.56/US$). Additionally, financial expenses were lower due to the impact of tax transaction adherence recorded in the previous quarter.

Net income reached US$ 5.9 billion due to improved financial results and lower operating expenses.

In 3Q24, there was no significant impact from non-recurring items. Disregarding these items, net profit and Recurring EBITDA would have remained at the same level.

In 3Q24, Capex totaled US$ 4.5 billion, 31.3% higher than in 2Q24. In the first nine months of the year, Capex totaled US$ 10.9 billion, an increase of 19.5% compared to 9M23.

In the Exploration and Production segment, Capex amounted to US$ 3.8 billion, 36.4% higher than in 2Q24, and were mainly concentrated on: (i) developing production in the Santos Basin pre-salt area (US$ 2.2 billion); (ii) developing production in the Campos Basin pre/ post-salt areas (US$ 0.8 billion); (iii) exploratory investments (US$ 0.2 billion). The increase compared to the previous quarter does not change the 2024 investment projection revised in 2Q24 and is largely due to the concentration of planned milestone payments, including those related to the arrival of equipment for the new production units in Búzios, and the realization of Capex related to the beginning of construction work on units P-84, in Atapu, and P-85, in Sépia.

In the Refining, Transportation and Marketing segment, Capex totaled US$ 0.5 billion, in line with 2Q24, with emphasis on spending on scheduled refinery stoppages and progress of REPLAN's medium hydrotreating (HDT) project.

In the Gas and Low-Carbon Energy segment, Capex totaled US$ 0.1 billion, in line with 2Q24, with investments in the Rota-3 natural gas processing unit standing out.

In addition, there was a payment of US$ 21 million relating to signature bonuses for 26 blocks (Shell partnership) in the Pelotas Basin.

The following table presents the main information about the new oil and gas production systems, already contracted.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled US$ 8.7 billion and adjusted cash and cash equivalents totaled US$ 14.9 billion.

In 3Q24, funds generated by operating activities reached US$ 11.3 billion and free cash flow totaled US$ 6.9 billion. This quarter, operating cash flow was mainly favored by a reduction in income tax and social contribution payments, resulting from the adherence to the tax transaction in 2Q24 and the tax benefit from the anticipation of dividends in the form of interest on own capital for the 2024 fiscal year. This level of cash generation was used to: (a) make investments (US$ 4.4 billion), (b) principal and interest due in the period amortization (US$ 2.4 billion), (c) remunerate shareholders (US$ 2.3 billion), and (d) lease liabilities amortization (US$ 1.9 billion).

In 3Q24, the company paid off various loans and financing in the amount of US$ 2.4 billion, including the repurchase and redemption of US$ 1.3 billion of securities on the international capital market.

The company raised US$ 1.0 billion by offering bonds on the international capital market (Global Notes), maturing in 2035. These funds were used for liability management, aiming to extend debt maturities and improving the capital structure, to preserve liquidity and solvency.

(*) EBITDA margin and ROCE variations in percentage points.

In 3Q24, the gross profit of E&P was US$ 9.4 billion, in line with the previous quarter, mainly explained by lower Brent prices.

The operating profit in 3Q24 was US$ 8.2 billion, 4% higher than the previous quarter. This growth is due to the lower 3Q24 tax expenses in comparison with 2Q24, partially offset by higher exploration expenses resulting from the evaluation of non-economic projects in Blocks C-M-657 and C-M-709, located in the Campos Basin.

The lifting cost calculated in 3Q24, excluding governmental participation and chartering, was US$ 5.78/boe, 4.5% lower than the last quarter (US$ 6.05/boe). This reduction occurred mainly due to the exchange rate effect resulting from the devaluation of the Brazilian real against the dollar by 6% and the increase in production in the pre-salt, influenced by reaching the production peak of FPSO Sepetiba and the start-up of new wells in projects in the Búzios and Tupi fields. These effects were partially offset by cost increases, mainly related to underwater inspections in the Roncador, Marlim, Caratinga, Barracuda, and Tupi fields.

Results by Business Segment

In the pre-salt, there was a 2.4% reduction in lifting cost, driven by the effect of currency depreciation and increased production, resulting from reaching the production peak of FPSO Sepetiba and the start-up of new wells in projects in the Búzios and Tupi fields. These effects were partially offset by cost increases related to underwater inspections in the Caratinga, Barracuda, and Tupi fields.

In the post-salt, the lifting cost remained stable compared to the previous quarter. The reduction caused by the effect of currency depreciation was offset by the decrease in production due to some shutdowns in the Campos Basin, especially in the Marlim Sul field.

In the onshore and shallow waters assets, the lifting cost remained at the same level compared to the previous quarter. The effect of currency depreciation was partially offset by the decrease in production due to a higher volume of losses from maintenance shutdowns.

In 3Q24, the gross profit of RTC decreased compared to 2Q24, mainly due to lower margins on oil products in the domestic market. Considering the effect of inventory turnover of US$ 186 million in 3Q24 and US$ 541 million in 2Q24, the gross profit of RTC would have been US$ 1.050 million in 3Q24 and US$ 963 million in 2Q24.

There were lower margins in the domestic market, mainly in diesel and Jet A-1, following the decline in international margins for these derivatives between quarters. The volume of sales in the domestic market was higher, mainly for diesel, driven by seasonal consumption with the grain harvest and increased industrial activity, and for gasoline due to greater competitiveness compared to ethanol in flex-fuel vehicle fueling. These factors helped offset, albeit partially, the reduction in margins.

In 3Q24, the operating profit was lower compared to 2Q24, reflecting the reduction in gross profit and higher operating expenses in the period, mainly due to the reversal of impairment of Araucária Nitrogenados (ANSA) that occurred in 2Q24.

In 3Q24, the refining unit cost in dollars was 8.0% higher than in 2Q24. Higher personnel expenses related to the collective labor agreement (ACT) and materials and services related to maintenance and preservation stood out. The higher processed load in 3Q24 and the exchange rate effect partially offset the increase in absolute cost.

(4) For the current period, the figures for the Energy segment are subject to possible changes once the final report from the Chamber of Electric Energy Commercialization - CCEE is issued.

(5) 2Q24 figure revised after the issuance of the final report from the Chamber of Electric Energy Commercialization - CCEE.

 

In 3Q24, the gross profit of the Gas and Low Carbon Energies segment was lower compared to 2Q24, due to the reduction in the average selling price of natural gas and the need for increased LNG imports. The average selling price of gas reflected currency fluctuations, as well as the effects of the performance premium implemented since June, aiming to preserve Petrobras' competitiveness in the non-thermal market.

Furthermore, it is worth noting that in 3Q24 were observed lower operating expenses, mainly due to the impact of currency depreciation on transportation tariffs and the reversal of a judicial loss, which had a positive impact on operating profit compared to 2Q24.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

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 Resolution No. 156, of June 2022.

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, 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.

A

Adjusted cash and cash equivalents: Sum of cash and cash equivalents and investments in securities in domestic and international markets that have high liquidity, i.e., convertible into cash within 3 months, even if maturity is longer than 12 months, held for the purpose of complying with cash commitments. This measure is not defined under the International Financial Reporting Standards – IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash and cash equivalents computed in accordance with IFRS. It may not be comparable to adjusted cash and cash equivalents of other companies, however management believes that it is an appropriate supplemental measure to assess our liquidity and supports leverage management.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure defined as net income plus net finance income (expense); income taxes; depreciation, depletion and amortization; results in equity-accounted investments; impairment of assets (reversals); results on disposal/write-offs of assets, remeasurement of investment retained with loss of control and reclassification of CTA; and results from co-participation agreements in bid areas).

Adjusted EBITDA margin: Adjusted EBITDA divided by sales revenues.

Average capital employed: quarterly average considering inventories, intangibles and fixed assets at historical exchange rates.

Free cash flow is not defined under the IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash and cash equivalents calculated in accordance with IFRS. It may not be comparable to free cash flow of other companies, however management believes that it is an appropriate supplemental measure to assess our liquidity and supports leverage management.

L

Leverage: Ratio between the Net Debt and the sum of Net Debt and Shareholders’ Equity. Leverage is not a measure defined in the IFRS and it is possible that it may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies, however management believes that it is an appropriate supplemental measure to assess our liquidity.

Lifting Cost: An indicator that represents the lifting cost per barrel of oil equivalent, considering the ratio between production and costs. It includes expenses for the execution and maintenance of production. Costs related to the leasing of third-party platforms, production taxes, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization are not considered in this indicator.

LTM Adjusted EBITDA: Sum of the last 12 months (Last Twelve Months) of Adjusted EBITDA. This metric is not foreseen in the international accounting standards - IFRS and it is possible that it is not comparable with similar indexes reported by other companies, however Management believes that it is supplementary information to assess liquidity and helps manage leverage. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in conjunction with other metrics to better understand the Company's liquidity.

 

N

Net Debt: Gross debt less adjusted cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is not a measure defined in the IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total long-term debt calculated in accordance with IFRS. Our calculation of net debt may not be comparable to the calculation of net debt by other companies, however our management believes that net debt is an appropriate supplemental measure that helps investors assess our liquidity and supports leverage management.

Net Income by Business Segment: The information by the company's business segment is prepared based on available financial information that is directly attributable to the segment or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis, being presented by business activities used by the Executive Board to make resource allocation decisions. and performance evaluation. When calculating segmented results, transactions with third parties, including jointly controlled and associated companies, and transfers between business segments are considered. Transactions between business segments are valued at internal transfer prices calculated based on methodologies that take into account market parameters, and these transactions are eliminated, outside the business segments, for the purpose of reconciling the segmented information with the consolidated financial statements of the company.
