Performance Report 1Q25 I 3

 

HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights – 1Q25

 

“The first quarter of 2025 was marked by positive results that reflect Petrobras' strong performance. We generated a higher cash flows, mainly due to a 5% increase in production volume compared to the previous quarter. This production growth was reflected in Adjusted EBITDA, which rose 46% compared to 4Q24.”

Fernando Melgarejo, Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations Officer

 

Main financial highlights

Maintenance of strong cash generation with Operating Cash Flow of US$ 8.5 billion and Free Cash Flow of US$ 4.5 billion in 1Q25
Consistent results: excluding one-off events, Adjusted EBITDA was US$ 10.7 billion and net income was US$ 4 billion
Capex of US$ 4.1 billion in 1Q25, 29.1% lower than 4Q24, reinforces the atypical level observed in the previous quarter, which was explained by the closing of the gap between the physical and financial progress of the Búzios platforms, as a response to the actions implemented in the second half of 2024


“We remain committed to executing our Business Plan: we invested US$ 4 billion in this first quarter of the year, which represents 22% of the annual guidance. These investments are focused on pre-salt projects, with emphasis on the Búzios and Atapu fields. We are drilling and connecting more wells and advancing in the construction of new units that will support the growth of our production curve. These are projects that generate value for our shareholders and will translate into revenue in the upcoming years.”

Fernando Melgarejo, Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer

CONSOLIDATE RESULTS

Consolidated results

In 1Q25, the Adjusted EBITDA excluding one-off events reached US$ 10.7 billion, while net income, also excluding one-off events, was US$ 4.0 billion.

Adjusted EBITDA excluding one-off events increased by 8% compared to 4Q24, mainly driven by the increase in oil production, higher oil sales in the foreign and domestic markets, and the higher diesel crack spreads.

Net income excluding one-off events increased by 30.7% compared to 4Q24. Considering one-off events, net income reached US$ 6.0 billion due to improved financial results, which was positive at US$ 1.7 billion, benefiting from a 7% appreciation of the exchange rate at the end of the period, reflecting the effects of currency variation on the debts between Petrobras and its overseas subsidiaries.

In 1Q25, Capex totaled US$ 4.1 billion, representing a reduction of 29.1% in comparison to 4Q24 and an increase of 33.6% compared to 1Q24. 1Q25 performance reinforces the atypical nature of the investment level observed in 4Q24, which was explained by the closing of the gap between the physical and financial progress of the Búzios platforms, as a response to the actions implemented throughout the second half of 2024.

In the Exploration & Production segment, Capex totaled US$ 3.5 billion in 1Q25, a reduction of 28.5% compared to 4Q24. This decrease mainly reflects the financial advancement efforts concentrated in the previous quarter for the platforms under construction for the Búzios field, which helped mitigate the risks of delays and increased the potential for anticipations.

Compared to 1Q24, however, there was an increase of 41.7% in Capex, mainly due to progress on major pre-salt projects in Santos Basin, particularly the Búzios and Atapu fields’ new production systems.

In the Refining, Transportation and Marketing segment, Capex totaled US$ 0.4 billion in 1Q25, mainly driven by scheduled refinery shutdowns, the completion of RNEST’s Train 1 revamp, and progress on REPLAN’s middle distillates hydrotreating (HDT) project.

Additionally, it is worth highlighting the production start-up in 1Q25 of the leased FPSO Almirante Tamandaré (Búzios 7), which resulted in the recognition of US$ 2.6 billion (Petrobras’ share) as lease liabilities. The extension of the FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis contract until 2030 also stands out, adding US$ 0.4 billion to our indebtedness. Similarly to owned units, leased FPSOs are recognized as company assets and represent an investment effort to expand production capacity with new units. However, they are not recorded as Capex.

The following table presents the main information on new oil and gas production systems that have already been contracted.

DEBT INDICATORS

Debt indicators

As of March 31, 2025, gross debt totaled US$ 64.5 billion, representing an increase of 6.9% compared to December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by the start-up of the leased FPSO Almirante Tamandaré (Búzios 7) and the extension of the FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis contract through 2030, which led to an increase of US$ 3.0 billion (Petrobras’ share) in the Company’s debt.

The average debt maturity shifted from 12.52 years on December 31, 2024, to 12.19 years on March 31, 2025, while the average cost increased from 6.8% per year to 6.9% per year during the same period.

The gross debt/Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 1.45x on March 31, 2025, compared to 1.29x on December 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, net debt reached US$ 56.0 billion, an increase of 7.3% compared to December 31, 2024.

In 1Q25, the gross profit of E&P was US$ 8.3 billion, an increase of 12.0% compared to 4Q24, which had a result of US$ 7.4 billion. This growth was primarily due to higher production during the period and increased Brent prices, partially offset by a higher government take (production taxes).

The operating income in 1Q25 was US$ 7.5 billion, 139.1% higher than 4Q24. This growth reflects mainly the reduction in operating expenses, particularly due to the absence of the decommissioning provision recorded in the previous quarter.

RESULTS BY SEGMENT

 

Lifting costs reported in 1Q25, excluding production taxes and leases, were US$ 6.79/boe, representing a 7.1% increase compared to the last quarter. This increase is due to the rise in costs for services related to integrity maintenance of assets, mainly due to the intensification of well interventions in Roncador, Barracuda, and Marlim fields, as well as inspections and subsea maintenance in Búzios, Itapu, and Marlim Leste fields. Additionally, there were higher expenditures in the Búzios field related to the new seabed monitoring contract. These effects were partially offset by a lower volume of losses due to maintenance shutdowns, improved operational efficiency in the Santos Basin, the ramp-up of the FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias, and the production start-up of the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré in February 2025.

In the Pre-salt, lifting costs increased 11.0% due to higher expenditures in Búzios related to the new seabed monitoring contract and the increase in subsea inspections in the same field and in Itapu. This increase was partially offset by higher production resulting from improved operational efficiency in the Santos Basin, the ramp-up of the FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias, and the production start-up of the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré in February 2025.

In the Post-salt, lifting costs increased 4.4% due to higher expenditures on integrity in the Campos Basin, mainly in well interventions in Roncador, Barracuda, and Marlim fields, and in subsea inspections in Marlim Leste. This increase was partially offset by higher production resulting from the operational return of the Marlim Leste field in December 2024, which has a lower cost per barrel compared to the average of the producing fields in the Post-salt.

In the onshore and shallow water assets, lifting costs decreased 10.7%, mainly due to the lower expenditures on well interventions in the onshore assets in Bahia.

(1) Changes in EBITDA and ROCE margins in percentage points.

 

In 1Q25, gross profit was US$ 0.3 billion lower than in 4Q24, reflecting mainly lower margins on oil products produced for the domestic market. Considering the effect of inventory turnover of US$ 288 million in 1Q25 and US$ 383 million in 4Q24, the gross profit would have been US$ 0.8 billion in 1Q25 and US$ 1.1 billion in 4Q24.

There were lower margins on oil products in the domestic market, mainly for gasoline, in addition to a decrease in sales volume due to the typical seasonality of the first quarter, primarily impacting gasoline and LPG.

The operating income in 1Q25 was lower than in 4Q24, reflecting the reduction in gross profit, partially offset by lower operating expenses.

In 1Q25, refining costs per barrel in USD were 5.6% higher than in 4Q24, mainly due to the lower processed throughput (-6.1%) resulting from the scheduled general shutdown of RNEST.

(4) Previous quarter number revised after the issuance of the final report from the Chamber of Electric Energy Commercialization - CCEE.

 

In 1Q25, the gross profit of the G&LCE segment decreased 37.2% compared to 4Q24, mainly due to the accounting of revenues from contractual commitments in 4Q24, the reduction of 8 MM m³/day in the volume of natural gas sold by Petrobras, and the termination of energy contracts in the regulated market. The reduction in the volume of natural gas sales was caused by lower demand in both the thermal segment (reflecting a more balanced hydrological scenario) and the non-thermal segment (combined with a greater share of other players in this market).

The reduction in gross profit impacted the operating income, despite lower operating expenses compared to 4Q24, resulting from provisions for fines in energy contracts accounted for in that quarter and the reimbursement in 1Q25 of amounts previously paid by Petrobras in a prior year, associated with transportation service provision, as a result of the application of the regulatory account mechanism.

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 IFRS Accounting Standards 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 Accounting Standards. These measures should be considered in conjunction with other measures and indicators for a better understanding of the company's performance and financial condition.

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 IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash and cash equivalents computed in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. 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.

a)Production Development (PD)

Projects aimed at enabling the production activities of new oil or gas fields, or the revitalization of fields already in production through new production systems and/or onshore facilities.

This includes complementary development projects intended to increase the recovery factor in fields with declining production, without the installation of new production systems.

Other projects in the Production Development include: asset acquisition projects linked to new production systems; quantitative risk analysis wells in development areas; and investments in the production development of non-operated fields.

b)Exploration (EXP)

Exploration projects aim to incorporate oil and gas reserves in a resilient way, from an economical and carbon emission perspective, generating value in the long-term. They are classified into types such as: Geological Interpretation Regional Studies, Block, Discovery Appraisal, Ring Fence (RF), Reservoir Data Acquisition (RDA) and Extended Well Tests (EWT).

c)Others

Projects required to implement essential infrastructure needed to enable other investment projects, as well as operations.

Examples include upgrades to operational infrastructure, scheduled shutdowns, acquisition of capital goods, IT and communications improvements, inspections and pipeline replacements due to SCC-CO₂, new platforms pre-operational costs, among others.

 

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 Accounting Standards 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.

Lifting Cost + Leases: An indicator that includes costs related to the leasing of third-party platforms in the calculation of Lifting Cost. Costs related to production taxes and depreciation, depletion, and amortization are not considered.

Lifting Cost + Production Taxes: An indicator that includes costs related to production taxes in the calculation of Lifting Cost. Costs related to the leasing of third-party platforms and depreciation, depletion, and amortization are not considered.
