Note 2. Basis of preparation and material accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation and presentation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the years and for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – “Interim Financial Reporting”, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Company prepared its interim financial statements on a condensed basis pursuant to IAS 34. Certain explanatory notes are included to describe the events and transactions that are relevant to understand the changes in the financial position as of December 31, 2025, and the results of operations for the year and for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read together with the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies as used in preparing the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024. They were prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value.

The figures contained herein are stated in US Dollars (“USD”) and are rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved for publication by the Board of Directors on February 25, 2026 and the subsequent events through that date are considered (Note 30).

2.2 New effective accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB adopted by the Company

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

None of the accounting pronouncements applicable after December 31, 2024, and as of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or result of its operations.

2.3 Basis of consolidation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Except as mentioned in Note 1.2 and Note 30, there were no other significant changes in interest in Company subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2025.

2.4 Summary of material accounting policies 

2.4.1 Impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and other intangible assets (“long-lived assets”) other than goodwill

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment at the lowest level in which there are separately identifiable cash flows largely independent of the cash flows of other Cash Generating Units (“CGUs”).

The Company conducts its impairment test of long-lived assets when there is an indication that the carrying amount may be impaired. Moreover, Goodwill is tested every December. The Company bases the impairment test on the calculation of value in use and reviews the relationship between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount of its assets.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not identify trigger events related to goodwill and long-lived assets other than goodwill in Argentina.

However, as of December 31, 2025, the Company identified trigger events related to the CGU in Mexico, as a consequence of the submission to the Secretariat of Energy (“SENER” by Spanish acronym) of the notice of irrevocable relinquishment of the entire CS-01 area made on November 6, 2025, which is pending of approval as of the date of these financial statements. Therefore, the Company performed an impairment test and recorded an impairment for the total assets of 38,252, which includes 38,229 related to “Property, plant and equipment” and 23 related to “Other intangible assets” (See Note 11 and 12).

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company did not identify trigger events related to goodwill and long-lived assets other than goodwill in Argentina.

However, as of December 31, 2024, the Company identified reversal of trigger events related to the CGU in Mexico, mainly resulting from the recovery of the local price of natural gas. Therefore, the Company performed an impairment test and recorded a reversal of impairment of 4,207.

See Note 3.2.2 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024.

2.4.2 Business combination

The acquisition method is used to book business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for these acquisitions comprises:

 

(i)

The fair value of transferred assets;

 

(ii)

The liabilities incurred to former owners of the acquired business;

 

(iii)

The equity interests issued by the Company;

 

(iv)

The fair value of any asset or liability from a contingent consideration arrangement; and

 

(v)

The fair value of any previously held equity interest in the subsidiary.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at fair values at the acquisition date.

The costs related to the acquisition are booked as incurred expenses. Goodwill is an excess of:

 

(i)

The consideration transferred; and

 

(ii)

The fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.

If the fair value of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets exceeds these amounts, before recognizing profit, the Company reassesses whether it has correctly identified all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, reviewing the procedures employed to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the assessment still results in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired in relation to the total consideration transferred, gain from a bargain purchase is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, under “Gain from Business Combination” within “Other operating income”.

When the settlement of any cash consideration is deferred, the future amounts payable is discounted at their present value at the exchange date. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained under comparable terms and conditions.

Contingent consideration will be recognized at its fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is classified as equity or as a financial liability. The amounts classified as a financial liability are remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value through the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities incurred in relation to its adequate classification and designation according to contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions as of the acquisition date.

Oil reserves and resources acquired that may be measured reliably are recognized separately at fair value upon the acquisition.

Other potential reserves, resources and rights, which fair values cannot be measured reliability, are not recognized separately but are considered part of goodwill.

If the business combination is performed in stages, the previously held equity interest in the acquiree is measured at acquisition-date fair value. Profit or loss from such remeasurement is recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The Company has a maximum period of 12 months from the date of acquisition to finalize the acquisition accounting. When it is incomplete as of the end of the year in which the business combination takes place, the Company reports provisional amounts.

2.5 Regulatory framework

 

A-

Argentina

2.5.1 Changes in the foreign exchange framework

During the year ended December 31, 2025, and to the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Central Bank of Argentina (“BCRA” by Spanish acronym) issues a series of regulatory aimed at easing certain foreign exchange restrictions, including:

(i) It introduced a currency band system under which the Argentine peso (“ARS”) to USD exchange rate in the free foreign exchange market (“MLC” by Spanish acronym) may fluctuate within a price floor and ceiling. These limits will be adjusted monthly based on the latest inflation indicators as from January 1, 2026;

(ii) Along with the Argentine government, it eliminated the Export Increase Program for settling exports (see Note 2.5.2 to the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2024);

(iii) It authorized dividend distribution to foreign shareholders for fiscal years beginning as from January 1, 2025, provided that these distributions related to distributable earnings obtained from realized earnings in annual financial statements;

(iv) It loosened the terms to pay foreign exchange transactions and access the free foreign exchange market to repay financial debts;

(v) It introduced exceptions to the foreign currency settlement system, and established that the funds deposited abroad from the issuance of debt securities are no longer computed as liquid external assets for purposes of foreign exchange restrictions, and;

(vi) It incorporated specific provisions for the repatriation of direct investments from nonresidents, enabling access to the MLC for the repatriation provided that certain regulatory requirements are met.

2.5.2 Gas market

2.5.2.1 Argentine promotion plan to stimulate natural gas production (“Gas IV Plan”)

On December 4, 2025, the Department of Energy (“SE” by Spanish acronym) granted the Company export quotas to Chile averaging 0.06 Mcm/d per year for the next 3 years (2026 through 2028).

For the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company received a net amount of 4,646 and 3,839, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the receivables related to such plan stand at 2,316 and 3,007, respectively (Note 15).

2.5.3 Presidential Decree No. 929/2013

The SE granted to the Company, through its subsidiary Vista Lach, the ownership of the benefits, under sections 6 and 7 of the Investment Promotion Regime for Hydrocarbon Production established by Presidential Decree No. 929/2013, as amended by Law No. 27,007. This regime grants as from March 2023, among others, a zero rate on export duties applicable to a specific percentage of LACh’s production.

Additionally, in December 2024, within the framework of this regime, BCRA Communiqué “A” 8155 implemented the free availability of foreign exchange proceeds from exports according to the percentages established under the regime.

Other than mentioned above, there have been no significant changes in Argentina’s regulatory framework for the year ended December 31, 2025 (see Note 2.5 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024).

See Note 30 for information on subsequent events related to the regulatory framework in Argentina.

B-

Mexico

2.5.4 Exploration and production activities regulatory framework

2.5.4.1 Energy Reform

On March 18, 2025, the Mexican government enacted a reform introducing new legislation related to: (i) the Law governing the State-Owned Public Company Law Petróleos Mexicanos (“Pemex”) and (ii) the Hydrocarbons Sector Law. This reform includes, among other measures, the following provisions:

(i) Hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation contracts previously signed with the Mexican State prior to the enactment of the new legal provisions will remain effective and will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions under which they were originally granted, pursuant to laws and provisions in effect upon execution;

(ii) The management of these contracts, along with the regulatory and oversight powers related to hydrocarbon exploration and extraction, have been fully centralized under Mexico’s SENER, which has assumed the roles and responsibilities of the former National Hydrocarbons Commission (“CNH”);

(iii) Regulations issued by regulatory authorities prior to the reform will remain in effect and continue to apply, provided they do not conflict with the new legislation;

(iv) Authorizations and permits previously granted to the upstream sector by the SENER, the CNH or the former Energy Regulatory Commission (“CRE”) will remain valid and retain their legal effect.

(v) The issuance, amendment, or termination of upstream sector authorizations or permits will now be subject to the public policy established by the Mexican State through the SENER;

(vi) All subsidiary production companies of Pemex have been merged into the latter. The agreements entered into by these dissolved companies will remain in force and continue to have the same effects under the originally agreed-upon terms and conditions.

Likewise, the exploration and extraction activities will be carried out under three methods:

(i) Allocations for own development, which will be exclusively owned by Pemex, making it the sole operator. However, Pemex may enter into service provision contracts with third parties, provided that such agreements aim to maximize productivity and profitability, and that the consideration is paid in cash.

(ii) Mixed-use development allocations, which may be granted by SENER. This plan allows private investment in projects operated by Pemex, provided that the latter maintains at least a 40% interest.

(iii) E&P agreements, which may be entered into by the SENER only in exceptional cases if Pemex either refuses or is unable to carry out hydrocarbon development under the aforementioned plans. These contracts may be service agreements, production- or profit-sharing agreements, or licensing agreements.

The Energy Reform also involved an administrative reorganization, under which the responsibilities of the CNH and the CRE were transferred to the SENER and the newly established National Energy Commission (“CNE”). The SENER will oversee the regulation of the upstream sector.

Market Regulations

In February 2025, the Executive signed a voluntary agreement with Mexican gas station owners to cap the price of regular gasoline at Mexican Peso (“MXN”) 24 per liter for an initial six-month period. This measure aims to alleviate financial pressure on consumers.

The import and export of oil byproducts, petrochemicals and hydrocarbons, as well as their sale within Mexico are regulated activities subject to permits issued by the SENER. At present, in onshore projects, private operators sell their entire hydrocarbon production domestically to Pemex.

Other than mentioned above, there have been no significant changes in Mexico’s regulatory framework during the year ended December 31, 2025 (see Note 2.5 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024).

Note 3. Segment information

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “Committee” or “CODM”) is in charge of allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segment. It supervises operating profit (loss), and the performance of the indicators related to its oil and gas properties on an aggregate basis to make decisions regarding the location of resources, negotiate with international suppliers and determine the method for managing contracts with customers.

The CODM considers as a single segment the exploration and production of crude oil, natural gas and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (“LPG”) (including Exploration and Production commercial activities), through its own activities, subsidiaries and interests in joint operations and based on the nature of the business, customer portfolio and risks involved. The Company aggregated no segment as it has only one.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company generated 99.71% and 0.29% of its revenues related to assets located in Argentina and Mexico, respectively. And for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company generated 99.23% and 0.77% of its revenues related to assets located in Argentina and Mexico, respectively.

10.2 Diluted

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s profit by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year / period, plus the weighted average of dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Potential ordinary shares will be considered dilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares may reduce earnings per share or increase losses per share. They will be considered antidilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares may result in an increase in earnings per share or a reduction in loss per share.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not involve a conversion; the exercise or other issue of shares that may have an antidilutive effect on loss per share, or when the exercise price is higher than the average price of ordinary shares during the year / period, no dilution effect is booked, as diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share.

Related to the agreement signed with Tango Energy Argentina S.A. (“Tango” formerly known as Petrolera Aconcagua Energía S.A.) connected with the transfer of conventional assets (“transfer of conventional assets”). For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized 29,016 and 33,570 respectively, mainly related to the amortization of the account receivable, in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss under “Other non-cash costs related to the transfer of conventional assets”. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company received 5,734 and 10,734, respectively, related to the transfer of conventional assets (See Note 3.2.7 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024).

(2)

As of December 31, 2024, includes 13,200 with Tango, related to the extension of the Concessions. (See Note 28.5 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024).

Due to the short-term nature of current trade and other receivables, it carrying amount is considered similar to its fair value. The fair values of noncurrent trade and other receivables do not differ significantly from it carrying amounts either.

As of December 31, 2025, in general, accounts receivable has a 20-day term for sales of crude oil and a 51-day term for sales of natural gas and LPG.

The Company sets up a provision for trade receivables when there is information showing that the debtor is facing severe financial difficulties and that there is no realistic probability of recovery, for example, when the debtor goes into liquidation or files for bankruptcy proceedings. Trade receivables that are derecognized are not subject to compliance activities. The Company recognized an allowance for expected credit losses against all trade receivables that are 90 days past due because based on its history these receivables are generally not recovered.

As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the provision for expected credit losses was recorded for 70 and 41 respectively.

As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, maximum exposure to credit risk is related to the carrying amount of each class of accounts receivable.

16.4.1 Fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The Company classifies the measurements at fair value of financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy, which shows the relevance of the variables applied to carry out these measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

- Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

- Level 2: data other than the quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly (that is prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices).

- Level 3: data on the asset or liability that are based on information that cannot be observed in the market (that is, non-observable data).

The following chart shows the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

The value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices as of the date of these accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. A market is considered active when quoted prices are available regularly through a stock exchange, a broker, a specific sector entity or regulatory agency, and these prices reflect regular and current market transactions between parties at arm’s length. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current offer price. These instruments are included in Level 1.

For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data, when available, and minimize the use of Company’s specific estimates. Should all significant variables used to establish the fair value of a financial instrument be observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Should one or more variables used in determining the fair value not be observable in the market, the financial instrument is included in Level 3.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 from December 31, 2024, through December 31, 2025.

16.4.2 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but require fair value disclosures)

Except for the information included in the following chart, the Company considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities recognized in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements approximate to its fair values, as explained in the related notes.

16.5 Risk management objectives and policies concerning financial instruments

16.5.1 Financial risk factors

The Company’s activities are exposed to several financial risks: market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

Financial risk management is included in the Company’s global policies, and it adopts a comprehensive risk management policy focused on tracking risks affecting the entire Company. This strategy aims at striking a balance between profitability targets and risk exposure levels. Financial risks are derived from the financial instruments to which the Company is exposed during each period or as of every period-end.

The Company’s financial department, controls financial risk by identifying, assessing and covering financial risks. The risk management systems and policies are reviewed regularly to show the changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.

The Company reviewed its exposure to financial risk factors and identified no significant changes in the risk analysis included in its annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024, except for the following:

16.5.1.1 Market risk

Exchange rate risk

The Company’s financial position and results of operations are sensitive to exchange rate changes between USD and ARS. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company performed foreign exchange currency transactions, and the impact in the results of the period is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in “Other financial income (expense)”.

Most Company revenues are denominated in USD, or the changes in sales follow the changes in USD listed price.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, ARS depreciated by about 41% and 28%, respectively.

The following chart shows the sensitivity to a modification in the exchange rate of ARS to USD while maintaining the remainder variables constant. Impact on profit before taxes is related to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the USD, the Company’s functional currency. The Company’s exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates for the remainder currencies is immaterial.

 

     As of December 31, 2025   As of December 31, 2024

Changes in exchange rate:

   +/- 10%   +/- 10%

Effect on profit or loss before income taxes

   8,169 / (8,169)   38,108 / (38,108)

Effect on equity before income taxes

   8,169 / (8,169)   38,108 / (38,108)

Interest rate risk

The purpose of interest rate risk management is to minimize finance costs and limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate increases.

Variable-rate indebtedness exposes the Company’s cash flows to interest rate risk due to potential volatility. Fixed-rate indebtedness exposes the Company to interest rate risk on the fair value of its liabilities as they could be considerably higher than variable rates. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, about 13% and 2% of indebtedness was subject to variable interest rates, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the average interest rate for borrowings in ARS was 38.08%, and 41.98%, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, the variable interest rate of borrowings denominated in USD stood at 7.97% and 7.42%, respectively.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years and for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

 

The Company expects to lessen its interest rate exposure by analyzing and assessing (i) the different sources of liquidity available in domestic and international financial and capital markets (if available); (ii) alternative (fixed or variable) interest rates, currencies and contractual terms available for companies in a sector, industry and risk similar to the Company’s; and (iii) the availability, access and cost of interest rate hedge contracts. Hence, the Company assesses the impact on profit or loss of each strategy on the obligations that represent the main positions to the main interest-bearing positions.

The Company considers that the risk of an increase in interest rates is low; therefore, it does not expect substantial debt risk.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate interest rate risks.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years and for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

 

Finally, as result of the difference between the consideration paid and the net assets identifiable, the Company recognized a gain for 490,530, booked in “Gain from Business Combination” within “Other operating income” (Note 8.1). As of December 31, 2025, the Company reassessed the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the valuation method applied, and confirmed that the amounts and criteria applied were appropriate.

The Company applied a discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of the oil and gas properties acquired. Significant inputs to the valuation of oil and gas properties include discount rates, production profiles, reserves and commodity future prices.

Since Vista Lach issues monthly financial information, the Company has considered the identifiable assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2025. Had the purchase price been allocated as from April 15, 2025, it wouldn’t have differed significantly.

As from acquisition date, Vista Lach contributed 669,269 in revenue from contracts with customers and 302,962 to the Company’s profit before income tax. Had the Business Combination occurred as from January 1, 2025, revenue from contracts with customers from continuing operations would have amounted to 2,690,432, and the Company’s profit before income tax from the continuing operations would have stood at 1,120,752.

Under the terms of the Transaction, the net price will be paid as follows: (i) 387,000 in cash (550,000 of payments net of 163,000 to be collected from YPF); and (ii) the delivery of 6,223,220 American Depositary Shares representing Vista´s Serie A shares (“ADSs”).

Additionally, the consideration provides for a contingent price payable, if applicable, in five annual installments, without accruing interest, calculated based on the annual working interest production of the assets multiplied by a price per barrel (“bbl”) equal to the average Brent price of the preceding year minus 65 USD/bbl, with no payment due at or below 65 USD/bbl Brent and a cap of 15 USD/bbl at or above 80 USD/bbl Brent.

To finance these transactions, the Company entered into a syndicated credit agreement with Banco Santander, S.A., Citicorp North America, Inc., and Itaú Unibanco S.A., Nassau Branch for up to a total amount of 600,000, which will be determined at the closing of the transaction. The agreement has a 4-year maturity and an annual interest rate of SOFR plus an initial 2.75%.

As of the date of issuance of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Transaction remains subject to antitrust approval from Chilean authorities, required in connection with the export of crude oil to Chile.

 

   

On January 6 and February 10, 2026, Vista Argentina made payments related to VMOS´s investment for 8,469.

 

   

On February 11, 2026, Vista Argentina paid interest for an amount of 174 corresponding to ON XXI.

 

   

On February 19, 2026, Presidential Decree No. 105/2026 was published in the Official Bulletin, establishing a one-year extension as from July 8, 2026, to join the Incentive Regime for large Investments. The decree includes onshore upstream crude oil and natural gas development projects as eligible promoted activities.

The minimum investment amount is set at 600,000. Qualifying projects must be located in areas with no significant development and must ensure segregation and traceability through a separate measurement system in cases where qualifying and non-qualifying activities coexist. As of the date of issuance of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is assessing whether this regulation applies to its projects.

There are no other events or transactions between the closing date and the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements that could significantly affect the Company’s financial position or profit or loss.
