2. ANALYSIS OF RESULTS FOR Q2 2016

Revenues for Q2 2016 were Ps 52.8 billion, 31.9% higher than Q2 2015, due primarily to the following factors:

 

    Diesel revenues increased Ps 4.4 billion, due to a 38.5% increase in diesel mix prices against a 6.0% decrease in sales volumes.

 

    Gasoline revenues increased Ps 3.0 billion, due to a 42.5% increase in average prices against a 4.4% decrease in sales volumes.

 

    Natural gas revenues increased Ps 3.3 billion, due to a 59.0% increase in prices in Argentine peso terms and no significant difference in sales volumes.

 

    Fuel oil revenues increased Ps 0.7 billion, due to a 43.9% increase in prices in Argentine pesos against an 8.8% decrease in sales volumes.

 

    Exports of flour, oil and grains increased Ps 0.4 billion, due to a 77.0% increase in prices in Argentine pesos against a 26.0% decrease in sales volumes.

 

    In Q2 2015, Ps 0.6 billion was accrued due to the Crude Oil Production Stimulus Program.

Cost of sales for Q2 2016 was Ps 42.8 billion, 40.6% higher than Q2 2015. This includes a 49.9% increase in production costs and a 40.3% increase in purchases. This increase was driven by the following factors:

a) Costs of production:

 

    Depreciation of fixed assets increased Ps 4.6 billion, an increase of 73.0%, due to increased investments in assets and appreciation in 2016 based on their valuation in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of the company.

 

    Lifting costs increased Ps 2.0 billion, reflecting a 26.8% increase in the unit indicator in Argentine peso terms.

 

    Production costs related to refining increased Ps 0.8 billion, reflecting a 67.0% increase in the unit indicator in Argentine peso terms.

 

    Royalty increased Ps 1.0 billion. Of this increase, Ps 0.6 billion was related to an increase in royalties for crude oil production and Ps 0.4 billion was related to an increase in royalties for natural gas production.

 

    Transportation costs increased Ps 0.5 billion, mainly due to increases in rates produced during 2016.

b) Purchases:

 

    FAME and ethanol biofuel purchases increased Ps 1.4 billion, due to higher prices for FAME and ethanol biofuel, a 5.0% increase in volumes purchased of FAME and a 1.0% increase in volumes purchased of ethanol biofuel.

 

    Grain purchases in the agricultural sales segment through the form of barter increased Ps 0.7 billion due to higher prices in Argentine peso terms, which was partially offset by lower volumes purchased.

 

    Crude oil purchases from third parties increased Ps 0.4 billion, due to a 32.1% increase in the Argentine peso purchase price against a 14.6% decrease in volumes purchased.

 

    Imports of diesel and jet fuel decreased Ps 46 million, due to lower volumes purchased of diesel, which was partially offset by greater volumes purchased of jet fuel and higher prices for both in Argentine peso terms.

Administration expenses for Q2 2016 were Ps 1.8 billion, 35.0% higher than Q2 2015. The increase was principally due to higher personnel expenses and higher IT costs.

Selling expenses for Q2 2016 were Ps 3.7 billion, 28.2% higher than Q2 2015. This was driven primarily by increases in transport expenses, principally due to higher rates paid for domestic transport of fuels and increases in personnel costs, fixed asset depreciation and service contracts.

Exploration expenses for Q2 2016 were Ps 0.7 billion, an increase of 90.7%, compared to Ps 0.4 billion for Q2 2015.

Other operating results, net, for Q2 2016 were a gain of Ps 1.6 billion, compared to a gain of Ps 0.7 billion for Q2 2015. This change included a net gain of Ps 1.5 billion generated by the deconsolidation of Maxus Energy Corporation, Tierra Solutions Inc., Maxus International Energy Company, Maxus (US) Exploration and Gateway Coal Company (collectively, the “Maxus Entities”), and the temporary economic assistance of Ps 0.4 billion received in Q2 2015 by the company’s subsidiary, MetroGAS S.A.

Financial results for Q2 2016 were a loss of Ps 4.7 billion, compared to a loss of Ps 0.9 billion for Q2 2015. This change was driven primarily by lower positive effects of foreign exchange rates on net liabilities in Argentine pesos of Ps 1.2 billion, generated by a lower devaluation of the Argentine peso in Q2 2016 compared to Q2 2015. Interest expenses also increased Ps 2.1 billion, due to increased levels of debt and higher interest rates.

Income tax for Q2 2016 was Ps 1.6 billion, including a re-estimate of the effective tax rate used in Q1 2016 by Ps 0.8 billion. This was due primarily to a decrease in deferred tax expenses of Ps 0.9 billion, which was partially offset by an increase in current income tax of Ps 45 million.

Net income for Q2 2016 was a loss of Ps 0.7 billion, 132.8% lower than Q2 2015.

Capital expenditures in fixed assets for Q2 2016 were Ps 14.5 billion, 1.8% higher than Q2 2015.

    Exports increased Ps 0.5 billion, or 14.4%, compared to Q2 2015, due to higher prices in Argentine peso terms driven by greater devaluation of the Argentine peso in Q2 2016, against a decrease in export volumes. Exports of flour, oil and grains reached Ps 1.7 billion, due to a 77.2% increase in prices in Argentine peso terms, against a 25.6% decrease in export volumes.

Cost of sales and operating expenses for Q2 2016 increased Ps 12.4 billion, or 39.0% compared to Q2 2015, due primarily to the following factors:

 

    Crude oil purchases increased Ps 6.2 billion, due to an increase in prices in Argentine peso terms of crude oil purchased and no significant difference in volumes purchased. Purchase prices from the Upstream business segment in Argentine peso terms increased 40.5%, and purchase prices from other producers of crude oil similarly increased 32.1%, due to the fact that lower volumes were purchased from third parties corresponding exclusively to light crude oil, which has a higher price.

 

    FAME and ethanol biofuel purchases increased Ps 1.4 billion, due to higher FAME and ethanol biofuel prices and a 5.0 % increase in volumes purchased of FAME and a 1.0% increase in volumes purchased of ethanol biofuel.

 

    Grain purchases in the agricultural sales segment through the form of barter increased Ps 0.7 billion due to higher prices in Argentine peso terms, which was partially offset by lower volumes purchased.

 

    Diesel and jet fuel imports decreased Ps 46 million, due to lower volumes purchased of diesel, which was partially offset by higher volumes purchased of jet fuel and higher prices for both in Argentine peso terms.

 

    Production costs related to refining increased Ps 0.8 billion, due to inflation and increased expenses for materials, parts, electricity, other supplies and fuel, including scheduled plant shutdowns. As a result, and considering the 5.3% decrease in volumes processed, unit refining costs in Q2 2016 were 67.0% higher than Q2 2015.

 

    Fixed asset depreciation increased Ps 0.6 billion.

 

    Marketing expenses increased Ps 0.8 billion, due to higher transportation costs related to an increase in domestic Argentine fuel transportation rates and increased depreciation costs.

The volume of crude oil processed in Q2 2016 was 288 Kbbld, 5.3% lower than Q2 2015, mainly due to the scheduled shutdown of various units at the La Plata and Plaza Huincul refineries from March 2016 to June 2016.

CAPEX

Cumulative capital expenditures for the Downstream business segment for Q2 2016 were Ps 2.8 billion, a 38.2% increase compared to Q2 2015.

The construction of the new Coke Plant is 99.11% complete as of the end of Q2 2016 and is expected to commence operations in the second half of 2016. In addition, improvements to the Topping III unit in Mendoza have progressed, and work to improve YPF’s logistical facilities and optimize safety and environmental performance has continued.

3.3 CORPORATE AND OTHERS

This business segment involves mainly corporate costs and other activities that are not reported in any of the previously-mentioned business segments.

Corporate operating income for Q2 2016 was a gain of Ps 0.6 billion, compared to a loss of Ps 0.5 billion in Q2 2015. This change was driven primarily by the net gain of Ps 1.5 billion generated by the deconsolidation of the Maxus Entities. As a result of the Maxus Entities’ filing for reorganization proceedings under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court has a significant role in approving substantial transactions, thus curtailing YPF’s ability to unilaterally make decisions on behalf of the Maxus Entities relating to their operations or results.

Consolidation adjustments to eliminate results among business segments not transferred to third parties were negative Ps 0.4 billion in Q2 2016, due to the widening gap between prices for transfers between business segments and replacement costs for the company’s inventory. These adjustments were negative Ps 0.3 billion in Q2 2015 because the aforementioned price gap was similar during that period.

3.4 RELATED COMPANIES

Results from related companies for Q2 2016 were a gain of Ps 166 million, compared to a gain of Ps 54 million for Q2 2015. This change was primarily due to improved results from Compañía Mega, Refinor and Profertil.

4. LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for Q2 2016 were Ps 6.6 billion, 33.9% lower than Q2 2015. This decrease of Ps 3.4 billion was driven by Ps 1.7 billion of insurance collections received in Q2 2015 for lost profits related to the incident at our La Plata refinery, despite a Ps 4.8 billion increase in Q2 2016 in adjusted EBITDA due to an increase in working capital. This increase in working capital was due to an accrual of accounts receivable, including accrual from the program to stimulate the injection of surplus natural gas and sales to distribution companies.

Net cash flows directed to investing activities were Ps 14.4 billion for Q2 2016, or 6.6% lower than Q2 2015. Investments in fixed and intangible assets were 0.4% higher than Q2 2015.

The previously discussed cash flow generation, together with a net decrease of Ps 2.3 MM from financing activities, contributed to a Ps 15.9 billion cash and cash equivalent position as of June 30, 2016. The main debt issuances in Q2 2016 consisted of two new series of negotiable obligations for a total of Ps 0.5 billion and US$46 million. Total debt in U.S. dollars was US$9.3 billion, net debt was US$8.2 billion and the net debt/EBITDA LTM(1) ratio was 1.76x.
