INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders, President and Directors of YPF SOCIEDAD ANONIMA


1. Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of YPF SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA. (the “Company”) and its controlled companies (detailed in note 10 to the consolidated financial statements) (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 2023, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes, including significant information on accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 2023, and its consolidated financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

2. Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Argentina, and we have fulfilled our other responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

4. Key Audit Matters

Key audit matter is a matter that, in our professional judgment, was the most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period audit. This matter is addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter.

Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E) — Gas Neuquina Basin cash generating unit (CGU) and disposals groups — Refer to Notes 2.b.5), 2.b.13), 2.c) 8), and 38) to the financial statements

Key Audit Matter Description

The Company’s evaluation of PP&E for impairment involved the comparison of the recoverable amount of each CGU and disposal group to its carrying value. The Company determined the recoverable amount for the CGUs based on the value in use and for the disposal groups based on fair value less cost to disposal. Value in use and fair value less cost to disposal were based on discounted cash flow model, which required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to crude oil and natural gas reserve estimates, the forecasts of future revenues, operating costs and capital expenditures, abandonment cost, and the discount rate. The disposal groups are evaluated at each disposal group level, separately from their CGU in accordance with IAS 36. Changes in recoverable amount estimates and assumptions or in the level of evaluation in relation to the disposal groups could have a significant impact on the recoverable amount of the CGU or disposal group, and either the amount of any impairment charge or reversal of prior impairment charges.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized an impairment loss for the CGU Gas – Neuquina Basin of U.S. dollar 506 million.

On February 29, 2024 YPF’s Board of Directors resolved the disposal of certain groups of assets related to the upstream business segment (the disposal groups), as of December 31, 2023 the Company recognized an impairment of property, plant and equipment charged of U.S. dollar 1,782 million.

Given the significant judgments made by management to estimate the recoverable amount of the CGU Gas – Neuquina Basin and the disposals groups, and the definition of the level of evaluation in relation to the disposal groups, which could result in an adjustment to the provision for impairment, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the significant estimates and assumptions related to crude oil and natural gas reserve estimates, the forecasts of future revenues, operating costs and capital expenditures and abandonment cost, the discount rate and the definition of the level of evaluation in relation to the disposal groups required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists and to consult with our IFRS specialist.

3

Treatment of the Matter in our Audit

Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of the CGU Gas – Neuquina Basin and the disposals groups for impairment included, among others:

  • We tested the effectiveness of controls over the evaluation of PP&E for impairment, including those over the indicators of impairment, the crude oil and natural gas reserve estimates, the forecasts of future revenues, operating costs and capital expenditures, and the discount rate.

  • We evaluated the Company’s independent reservoir engineer by (1) Examining reports and assessing their scope of work and findings. And (2) Assessing the competence, capability and objectivity by evaluating their relevant professional qualifications and experience.

  • We tested the mathematical accuracy and completeness of the calculation of the underlying cash flows used to determine the recoverable amount of the CGU.

  • We tested for a selection of fields the mathematical accuracy and completeness of the calculation of the underlying cash flows used to determine the recoverable amount of the disposals groups.

  • We assessed the reasonableness of management´s crude oil and natural gas reserve estimates, by testing for a selection of fields (1) the source financial information underlying the estimates and (2) comparing management´s estimate with the independent reserves auditor estimate.

  • We assessed the reasonableness of management´s forecast of future revenues, and operating costs, capital expenditures and abandonment cost, by testing for a selection of fields (1) the source financial information underlying the estimates, (2) future production profiles with management´s crude oil and natural gas reserve estimates, (3) costs and expenditures with historical information and other evidence obtained during the audit, and (4) evaluating management´s ability to accurately forecast certain key assumptions, such as crude oil and natural gas prices and macroeconomic assumptions by comparing those to management´s historical forecasts.

  • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology, the projections of certain key assumptions underlying the estimates of the recoverable amount, such as macroeconomic assumptions, crude oil and natural gas prices, and the discount rate by (1) understanding how management made the key assumptions and selected the discount rate, (2) testing the source information underlying those key assumptions and the discount rate and the mathematical accuracy of the discount rate calculation, and (3) developing an independent range of the key assumptions and the discount rate and comparing those to what management selected.

  • We evaluated the Company’s independent valuation specialist by (1) Examining reports and assessing their scope of work and findings; and (2) assessing the competence, capability and objectivity by evaluating their relevant professional qualifications and experience.

4

  • We consulted with our IFRS specialist regarding the impairment evaluation at each disposal group level, separately from its CGU.

  • We read and tested the accuracy and completeness of the related disclosures within the consolidated financial statements.

6. Responsibilities of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Audit Committee for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, and for such internal control as the Company’s Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group´s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Company’s Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Group financial reporting process.

7. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

· Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.

· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Company’s Board of Directors.

5

· Conclude on the appropriateness of the Company’s Board of Directors’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

· Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

·Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Company’s Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Company’s Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

  • Upstream

  • Downstream

  • Gas and Power

  • Central Administration and Others

Activities covered by each business segment are detailed in Note 5.

The operations, properties and clients of the Group are mainly located in Argentina. However, the Group also holds participating interest in exploratory areas in Bolivia and sells jet fuel, natural gas, lubricants and derivatives in Chile and lubricants and derivatives in Brazil.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.a) Applicable accounting framework

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 are presented in accordance with the IFRS as issued by the IASB. The fiscal year of the Company begins on January 1 and ends on December 31, each year.

2.b) Material accounting policies

2.b.1) Basis of preparation and presentation

Functional currency

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company are considered as transactions in foreign currency and are initially recognized in the functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction (or, for practical reasons, and when the exchange rate has not changed significantly, the average exchange rate of each month). At the end of each reporting period, or at the date of settlement: (i) monetary items in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate on ; (ii) and nonmonetary items in foreign currency which are measured in terms of its historical cost, as well as results, are valued in functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

Presentation currency

The information included in these consolidated financial statements is presented in U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency.

The consolidated financial statements used by YPF for statutory, legal and regulatory purposes in Argentina are those in pesos and filed with the CNV and approved by the Board of Directors and authorized to be issued on March 6, 2024.

Financial information of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures with a functional currency of a hyperinflationary economy

functional

currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy have to be restated in terms of the measuring unit current

IAS 29 describes certain quantitative and qualitative factors to be considered to determine whether or not an economy is hyperinflationary. Based on such evaluation, it was concluded that the application of adjustment for inflation had to be resumed. Besides, Law No. 27,468 published in the BO on December 4, 2018, established that annual financial statements, for interim and special periods closing on or after December 31, 2018, are to be filed with the CNV in inflation-adjusted currency, as set out in IAS 29.

Financial statements of subsidiaries with a functional currency of a hyperinflationary economy are restated in compliance with IAS 29 before they are included in the consolidated financial statements of their parent company whose functional currency is of a non-hyperinflationary economy (U.S. dollar in the case of YPF), without restating the comparative figures.

Subsequently, the results and financial position of such subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rate of their financial statements. The effect of restatement of comparative figures, which are presented as amounts in inflationadjusted currency in the financial statements of the previous fiscal year, and which are not adjusted to reflect subsequent om net monetary position in comprehensive income.

These criteria are also applied by the Group for its investments in associates and joint ventures.

When an economy ceases to be hyperinflationary and, therefore, the entity no longer restates its financial statements according to IAS 29, it will use as historical costs the amounts restated to the inflation-adjusted currency at the date the entity ceased restating its financial statements.

Current and non-current classification

The presentation in the statement of financial position makes a distinction between current and non-current assets and ng cycle. Current assets and liabilities include assets and liabilities that are realized or settled in the 12-month period following the closing date of the period. All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.

Accounting criteria

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost approach, considering for the from the date of transition to IFRS (January 1, 2011), except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 2.b.7)).

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

Non-monetary assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with the peso as functional currency were restated to the closing currency.

Consolidation policies

The Group consolidates in the financial statements all subsidiaries over which it exercises control and eliminates intragroup balances and transactions, which are those between consolidated entities. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to or is entitled to the variable returns arising from its interest in the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity, as defined in IFRS 10

For the consolidation, the most recent financial statements available of the subsidiaries as of the end of each period are used, considering significant subsequent events and transactions and/or available management information and the transactions between YPF and the subsidiaries that would have produced changes in the equity of the latter. The publication date of the most recent financial statements of certain companies of the Group may differ from the publication date of those of YPF, mainly for administrative reasons. Additionally, the accounting principles and criteria used by these companies have been homogenized, where appropriate, with those used by YPF, with the aim of presenting the consolidated financial statements based on uniform measurement and presentation standards.

The Company holds 100% of capital of the consolidated companies, with the exception of the holdings in Metrogas (70%) and YTEC (51%). The Company concluded that there are no significant non-controlling interests requiring the disclosure The main subsidiaries are described in Note 10.

Joint operations

Interests in JA and other similar contracts defined as joint operations when the parties have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the joint arrangement, have been recognized on the basis of the share of assets, liabilities, income and expenses related to each joint arrangement

are presented in the statement of financial position and in the statement of comprehensive income, depending on their specific nature. The main JA are described in Note 29.

2.b.2) Intangible assets

the asset is carried at its cost less amortization and any impairment loss.

The estimated useful life and the amortization method of each class of asset are revised annually at the end of each fiscal year and, if appropriate, are adjusted prospectively. The recoverability of these assets is revised as set out in Note 2.b.5).

The Group has no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives as of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

The main intangible assets of the Group are as follows:

Service concessions

The Group classifies hydrocarbon transportation concessions - granted under the Hydrocarbons Law and meeting the - as intangible assets (see Note 35.a.1)). These assets are amortized using the straight-line method throughout the term of said concessions.

Since the issuance of Decree No. 115/2019, hydrocarbon transportation concessions granted after the publication of such 35.a.1)).

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

Exploration rights

Exploration rights represent the exclusive right to perform all the activities required for the search of hydrocarbons in the area defined in the exploration permit and during the terms specified in each bidding document by the enforcement authority, depending on the purpose of the exploration (conventional or unconventional). See Note 35.a.1).

Exploration for and Evaluation of

Exploration costs (geological and geophysical expenses, maintenance costs and other costs relating to the exploration activity), excluding exploratory drilling costs, that are capitalized 3)), are charged to net income in the statement of comprehensive income.

When the technical reliability and commercial viability of hydrocarbon field exploitation is demonstrable, these assets are in the statement of financial position.

Other intangible assets

The Group classifies as intangible assets mainly all acquisition costs of software licenses and development costs of computer applications. These assets are amortized using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of each type of asset, which is 5 years on average.

2.b.3) Property, plant and equipment

after initial recognition, the asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The initial cost of the asset comprises its cost of acquisition, construction and any other cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating, and, if appropriate, the estimate of hydrocarbon wells abandonment costs.

For assets requiring long-term construction to bring them to the conditions required for their use, borrowing costs related to thirdage debt rate.

Subsequent costs allowing to recover service capacity to achieve continued operation, extend the useful life and/or increase the production capacity of the assets are included in the carrying amount of the assets, or are recognized as a separate asset. Major overhauls are capitalized and depreciated by the straight-line method until the next major overhaul.

Repair, conservation and ordinary maintenance expenses are charged to net income in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.

The recoverability of these assets is revised as set out in Note 2.b.5).

Any gain or loss arising from the disposal of an asset is charged to net income in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which such asset is derecognized.

Oil and natural gas production activities

The Group recognizes oil and natural gas exploration and production activities using the successful efforts method. Costs arising from the acquisition of exploitation concessions in areas with proved and unproved reserves are capitalized in the of financial position. Costs associated with exploration permits are classified as intangible assets.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

Exploration costs, excluding costs associated with exploratory wells, are charged to net income in the statement of comprehensive income. Costs of drilling exploratory wells, including stratigraphic test wells, are capitalized in the position until the existence of proved reserves justifying their commercial development is determined. If such reserves are not found, those drilling costs are charged to net income in the statement of comprehensive income. Occasionally, upon drilling completion, it may be determined that an exploratory well has reserves that cannot yet be classified as proved reserves. In such cases, the drilling cost of the exploratory well remains capitalized if the well has found a volume of reserves that justifies its development as a productive well, and if sufficient progress has been made in assessing the reserves as well as the economic and operating viability of the project. If any of the mentioned conditions is not met, the exploratory well cost is charged to net income in the statement of comprehensive income. In addition to the above, the exploratory activity involves, in many cases, the drilling of multiple wells in the course of several years in order to evaluate projects completely. Therefore, some exploratory wells may be subject to evaluation for prolonged periods, until a conclusion is reached concerning the wells and any additional exploratory activities required to evaluate and quantify the reserves related to each project. The detail of exploratory well costs in evaluation stage is described in Note 8.

Drilling costs of development wells and dry development wells, and installation costs associated with the development of oil and natural gas reserves are plant an .

Depreciation methods and useful lives

The estimated useful life and the depreciation method of each class of asset are revised annually at the end of each fiscal year and, if appropriate, are adjusted prospectively.

Assets related to oil and natural gas production activities are depreciated as follows:

  • The capitalized costs related to productive activities are depreciated by field, on a unit-of-production method by applying the ratio of produced oil and natural gas to the proved and developed oil and natural gas reserves.

  • Capitalized costs related to acquisition of mining property and extension of concessions with proved reserves are depreciated by field, using the unit-of-production method, by applying the ratio of produced oil and natural gas to total proved oil and natural gas reserves.

Depreciations are adjusted based on changes in the estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves after the date of disclosure of such changes. The Group revises the estimates of oil and natural gas reserves at least once a year. These estimates are audited by independent third parties based on a 3-year rotation cycle.

All other assets not directly affected to oil and natural gas production are depreciated using the straight-line method calculated based on the estimated useful life of each class of asset, as described below:

Buildings and other constructions
Refinery equipment and petrochemical plants
nfrastructure for natural gas distribution
Transportation equipment
Furniture, fixtures and installations
Selling equipment
Other property

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

Costs related to hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations

Costs related to hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations are capitalized at discounted values along with their related assets, and are depreciated using the unit-of-production method. In compensation, a liability is recognized for such concept at the same estimated value of the discounted payable amounts. Changes in the estimates of discounted payable amounts are made considering the current costs based on the best internal and external information available. Those changes are rec ing to the current period, considering that, if the decrease in liabilities exceeds the carrying amount of the assets, such excess will be recognized in net income in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.b.4) Leases

As lessee, the Group recognizes, measures and discloses lease liabilities and right-of-use assets in compliance with IFRS The definition of lease is mainly related to the concept of control. IFRS 16 distinguishes between lease contracts and service contracts on the basis of whether an ide the customer has the right to: (i) obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use the asset, and ii) direct the use of the asset.

Lease liabilities are measured as the aggregate borrowing rate at the date of initial recognition of each contract. Subsequently, the Group recalculates the - lease liabilities to reflect any lease revision or modification or any revision of the soapplying, if applicable, a revised discount rate.

Right-of-use assets are measured using the cost model under IAS 16 (see Note 2.b.3)) and are initially recognized as the sum equal to the initial measurement of the lease liability considering prepayments net of lease incentives, initial direct costs and estimated dismantling and restoration costs. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the term of the lease established in each contract, unless the useful life of the underlying asset is shorter or if there is another more representative basis.

The recoverability of right-of-use assets is revised as set out in Note 2.b.5).

The Group continues to recognize short-term leases and leases of low-value underlying assets as expenses in net income in the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with the option specified under IFRS 16, except for those that are capitalized. Variable lease payments related to the underlying asset performance and/or use are recognized in net income in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.b.5) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets

At the closing date of each period, the Group reviews if there is any indication that these assets may have suffered impairment loss or recovery of an impairment loss recognized in previous periods. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. To such effect, the Group compares their carrying amount with their recoverable amount.

Such assets are grouped into CGUs, the smallest identifiable group of assets generating cash inflows or cash flows independent from those generated by other assets or groups of assets, taking into account regulatory, economic, operational, and commercial conditions.

The assets of the main CGUs are grouped into: (i) CGUs separated by basins if they correspond to assets of fields with reserves primarily of gas; (ii) a single CGU if they correspond to assets of fields with reserves primarily of oil; and (iii) a single CGU if they correspond to assets affected to oil refining, production of petrochemical products and their commercialization. Changes in regulatory, economic, operating and commercial conditions may alter the grouping of assets into CGUs. A different grouping of assets may result in different estimates of the recoverable amounts of those assets, and, therefore, generate losses or recoveries of additional impairment losses.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount of a CGU, an impairment loss is recognized for such excess in value in operating profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses are distributed among the nto account to calculate depreciation or amortization.

The reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in operating profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income. To such effect, the carrying amount of the CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, so that this new amount does not exceed the carrying amount without considering the impairment loss recognized in previous periods. statement of financial position is assessed separately, if any events of circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of operty, wells and are demonstrable.

Measuring the recoverable amount

The recoverable amount for each CGU is determined as the higher of (i) its fair value less costs of disposal, i.e. the price that would be received in and orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset, less the costs of disposal of such assets, if such value is available, reasonably reliable and based on recent negotiations with potential buyers or similar transactions, and (ii) its value in use, i.e. the projections of cash flows generated by the exploitation of the assets, based on the best estimates of income and expenses available in relation to the economic conditions that will prevail during the remaining useful life of the assets, using past results and forecasts of business evolution and market development, discounted at a rate that reflects the weighted average cost of the capital employed.

In calculating value in use, the prices for the purchase and sale of hydrocarbons, refined products and petrochemical products, the current regulations and estimates of capital expenditure standout among the most sensitive aspects included in cash flow projections of the main CGUs. The assessment of the particular and variable circumstances used in cash flow projections requires the use of estimates (see Note 2.c)).

2.b.6) Investments in associates and joint ventures

Associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (see Note 10).

line item in the statement of financial po interest in the profit or loss of the associate or joint venture after the acquisition date, which is reflected in the statement of carrying amount increases or diminishes to recognize contributions and dividends which have affected the equity of the associate or joint venture. The investment includes, if applicable, the goodwill identified in the acquisition.

Joint arrangements under which the Group has contractually agreed to exercise the joint control with another party are classified either as joint ventures when the parties have rights over the net assets of the joint arrangement, or as joint operations (see Note 2.b.1 when the parties have rights over the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the joint arrangement.

Investments in entities over which an investor may exert significant influence, but not control or joint control, are classified as associates.

Investments in associates and joint ventures have been valued based on the last financial statements available as of the end of each period, considering significant subsequent events and transactions and/or available management information and transactions between the Group and such related companies that could have produced changes in the equity of the latter. See Note 2.b.1 section.

Interest in companies with negative equity are presented position.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

At the closing date of each period, the Group reviews if there is any indication that these investments may have suffered an impairment in value or recovery of an impairment loss recognized in previous periods. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the investment is estimated. If an impairment in value or recovery of an impairment loss is item in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.b.7) Financial instruments

the characteristics of contractual cash flows.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the following con model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows; and (2) the contractual terms establish payments, on specific dates, solely of principal and interest. These financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus costs of the transaction incurred and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less any impairment losses. Gain (loss) arising from derecognition, modifications, reclassifications at fair value through profit or loss, the statement of comprehensive income.

If a financial asset fails to meet any of the above conditions to be measured at amortized cost, it is measured at fair value through profit or loss. These financial assets are initially recognized at fair value and the costs of the transaction incurred are recognized as expenses in net income in the statement of comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value and results income.

The purchase and sale of financial assets are recognized at the date in which the Group undertakes to purchase or sell those assets. The Group reclassifies financial assets only when the business model used to manage such assets changes.

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value less costs of the transaction incurred and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest on debt instruments is financial r that is capitalized.

In general, the Group uses the transaction price to determine the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group evaluates the impairment of its financial assets measured at amortized cost using the expected credit loss model, recognizing in profit or loss for the period the amount of change in the expected credit losses during the lifetime of the financial asset, as an impairment gain

Under IFRS 9, expected credit losses are estimated by preparing a matrix based on maturity tranches, grouping the financial assets by type of customer: i) related parties; ii) public sector and iii) private sector. These groups are subsequently divided into sub-groups based on special characteristics indicative of the repayment capacity, such as i) payment defaults; ii) existence of guarantees; and iii) existence of a legal proceeding already initiated or in process of initiation for collection purposes, among others. Once each group is defined, an expected credit loss rate is assigned, which is calculated on the basis of the historical payment performance adjusted to current economic conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

Derecognition and offsetting

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from such investments and the risks and benefits related to their ownership have expired or have been transferred.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

Financial liabilities are derecognized when they have extinguished, i.e. when the obligation has been paid or cancelled, or has expired. In addition, the Group will account for an exchange of financial instruments with substantially different terms as an extinguishment of the original financial liability, recognizing a new financial liability. Similarly, the Group will account for a substantial modification in the current terms of a financial liability as an extinguishment of the financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.

Financial assets and liabilities offset each other when there is a legally enforceable right to set off such assets and liabilities and there is an intention to settle them on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2.b.8) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes costs of purchase (less trade discounts, rebates and other similar items), costs of conversion and other costs, which have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition for their sale according to the nature of the asset. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less costs to sell.

In the case of refined products, costs are allocated in proportion to the selling price of such products (isomargin method) due to the difficulty of recognizing the production costs for each product on an individual basis.

The Group assesses the net realizable value of inventories at the end of each period, charging the corresponding value adjustment to net income in the statement of comprehensive income when it exceeds their net realizable value, and reversing such adjustment when the circumstances that caused it change.

2.b.9) Cash and cash equivalents

In the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of up to 3 months. They do not include bank overdrafts, which are presented as loans.

Revenues from contracts with customers

Note 24) and assesses the goods and services involved in them to determine the performance obligations and their classification into obligations that are satisfied at a point in time and over time.

In contracts related to the sale of goods, revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the end customer, which occurs when the physical possession of the goods is transferred at the point of delivery based on the contractual terms of the agreements. When the performance obligation is satisfied at a given point in time, the Group recognizes as revenue the transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods based on the selling price of each good.

Service contracts and construction contracts establish performance obligations that are satisfied over time. In the case of service contracts, revenue is recognized upon the effective provision of such services and in accordance with the respective contractual clauses. In the case of construction contracts, revenue is recognized by measuring the degree of progress towards complete satisfaction, where such satisfaction may be reliably measured using the input method as the most appropriate method based on the contractual terms of the agreements and considering the final estimated margin of each work and its degree of progress by the end of the period.

Additionally, and in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15, revenues are broken down into the following categories: (i) type of good or service; (ii) sales channels, and (iii) target market, according to the reported business segments (see Notes 5 and 24).

2.b.13) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets (or disposal group) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Immediately prior to the classification of a non-current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, the carrying amount of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is measured in accordance with applicable IFRS, including

Non-current assets (or disposal group) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale or disposition transaction rather than through continuing use. In order to reach that conclusion, the Company analyze the substance of the transaction considering whether there has been a transfer of all risks and rewards (including the provision for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations). This condition is regarded as met only when the sale or disposition transaction is highly probable and the non-current asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its current condition.

  • highly probable the appropriate level of the Company´s Management must be committed to a plan to dispose the asset (or disposal group) and an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated. Further, the asset (or disposal group) must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. In addition, the sale transaction should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed disposal within 1 year from the date of classification, except as permitted by IFRS 5, and actions required to complete the plan should indicate that is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

The Group considers there is an impairment loss indicator under IAS 36 when a non-current asset (or disposal group) meets all the requirements to be classified as held for sale of the IFRS 5 before the approval of issuance of the financial statements (but not at the end of the period corresponding to such financial statements), and the carrying amount of such non-current asset (or disposal group) exceeds its fair value less costs of disposal. In this case, the Group is required to perform an impairment review of such non-current asset (or disposal group) separately from its CGU and, if necessary, an impairment loss is recognized in accordance with IAS 36.

2.b.14) New standards issued

As required by IAS 8 , below is a summary of the standards and interpretations issued by the IASB:

Standards and interpretations, the application of which is mandatory from January 1, 2023 and which have been adopted by the Group, if applicable

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies

In February 2021, the IASB issued the following amendments to IAS 1, related to material accounting policies, applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2023:

  • The term significant accounting policies is replaced with material accounting policies.

  • Guidance and explanatory guidance are added to help entities identify the material accounting policies required to be disclosed.

  • Accounting policies may be material, regardless of the magnitude of the amounts involved, and therefore, the nature of such policies, as well as certain conditions, such as whether they are related to the full understanding of another accounting policy deemed material, should be analyzed.

  • If the entity discloses accounting policies deemed immaterial, such disclosure should not lead to confusion.

The Group has conducted the analysis of the disclosure of material accounting policies following the implementation of the modifications mentioned above, and therefore, certain disclosures have been readjusted allowing a better understanding

Amendments to IAS 8 - Definition of accounting estimates

In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8, related to the definition of accounting estimates, effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

The amendments include the definition of the concept of accounting estimates in order to help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates - as the previous definition was interrelated to the definition of accounting policy and could lead to an error -

The IASB clarifies that changes in accounting estimates are accounted for prospectively, and if such changes are based both on new information that was not available when the previous measurements were made, as well as changes affecting the variables used in such estimate, they should not be treated as the correction of an error.

financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 12 - Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction

transactions in which an asset and a liability are simultaneously recognized, which are applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

The amendments introduce an exception to the initial recognition exemption, with specifications on how entities should account for the income tax and the deferred tax in transactions in which the initial recognition of assets and liabilities give rise, at the same time, to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. Therefore, in transactions where an asset and a liability are recognized, for example in relation to leases and abandonment or decommissioning obligations, the deferred tax generated by such transactions should be recognized.

The Group has made the break-down of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from Right-of-use assets and Lease liabilities, following the implementation of the aforementioned amendments. Also, the comparative information for fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 has been restated in compliance with IAS 12 amendments (see Note 17). However, this had no effect on initial retained earnings.

Amendments to IAS 12 - International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 related to the Pillar Two Model Rules of the International Tax Reform Organization for Economic Coto fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

These amendments introduce a temporary exception to the requirements of IAS 12, allowing an entity not to recognize or disclose information about deferred taxes arising from the income tax effects of applying the Reform. Additionally, it requires certain additional disclosures in the annual financial statements.

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the implementation of the aforementioned modifications has had no effects as there is no tax regulatory framework relating to such Reform in the jurisdictions where the Group operates. However, the Group is monitoring possible future changes that might be observed in tax regulations.

Standards and interpretations, the application of which is not mandatory as of the closing date of these consolidated financial statements and which have not been adopted by the Group

On August 15, 2023, CNV General Resolution No. 972/2023 was published in the BO, which provides that the earlier application of the IFRS and/or their amendments will not be allowed for issuers filing financial statements with the CNV, unless specifically allowed by such agency. In this sense, the Group did not apply these IFRS and/or its modifications in advance.

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 - Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture

In September 2014, the IASB amended IFRS 10 and IAS 28 to clarify that in transactions involving a controlled entity, the extent of the profit or loss to be recognized in the financial statement depends on whether the sold or contributed controlled company is considered a business in accordance with IFRS 3 . In December 2015, the IASB indefinitely postponed the application of such modifications.

Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of liabilities

In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 in relation to the classification of liabilities into current and noncurrent, which are applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2024.

The amendments clarify that liabilities classification in current and non-current:

  • Must be based on existing rights at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement by at least twelve months and make explicit that only rights in place "at the end of the reporting period" should affect the classification of a liability.

  • Is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability.

  • That settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Group anticipates that the implementation of these amendments will have no significant impact on its financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 16 - Leases

In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 related to the measurement of leases in sale and leaseback transactions, as it failed to specify how to measure those leases after initial recognition, which are applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2024.

Pursuant to this amendment to IFRS 16, a seller-lessee is required to measure lease liabilities arising from a sale and leaseback transaction without recognizing a gain or loss for the right-of-use it retains, and is not prevented from recognizing a gain or loss for the total or partial termination of the lease.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Group anticipates that the application of the amendments mentioned above will not significantly affect its financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 - Non-current liabilities with covenants

On October 2022 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 in relation to the classification of non-current liabilities with covenants, which are applicable retroactively to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2024.

The amendments clarify that the classification of loans agreements with covenants as non-current liabilities may be affected when an entity is required to comply with such covenants on or before the date of the reporting period, even if the covenant is evaluated later.

In addition, certain additional requirements are incorporated related to the disclosure of information in notes, as this will allow financial statement users to understand the risk that non-current liabilities might fall due in the 12 months following the reporting period.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Group anticipates that the implementation of the aforementioned amendments will not have a significant impact on its financial statements, except for additional disclosures supplementing the information that is being reported.

Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Supplier finance arrangements

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 related to supplier finance arrangements, which are applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2024.

These amendments introduce new disclosure requirements of qualitative and quantitative information in the annual financial statements related to the mentioned supplier finance arrangements, such as contractual terms, carrying amounts of financial liabilities, settlements made and/or maturity dates, among others. The amendments do not require comparative information disclosure.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Group anticipates that the implementation of the amendments will not have a significant impact on its financial statements, except for certain additional disclosures in notes that complement the information currently presented.

Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of exchangeability

In August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 related to the methodology to be applied where there is a lack of exchangeability between two currencies, which are applicable for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025.

These amendments eliminate the applicable methodology described in IAS 21 where there was a temporary lack of exchangeability between two currencies, and introduce the definition of exchangeability between currencies and an analysis approach that requires each entity to identify whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency for each specific purpose for which such currency would be obtained following a series of parameters, such as an assessment of whether the currency is obtained within an ordinary administrative period, the ability to obtain said currency, among others. Once the absence of exchangeability between two currencies has been identified, the exchange rate should be estimated to represent that which would be obtained in an orderly transaction between market participants and which reflects economic conditions. These amendments do not specify a methodology for estimating the exchange rate to be used, which must be developed by each entity.

Additionally, these amendments incorporate disclosure requirements such as a description of the restrictions giving rise to the absence of exchangeability, a qualitative and quantitative description of the transactions involved, the types of exchange rates used and their estimation method, a description of the risks to which the entity is exposed due to the absence of exchangeability, among others.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Group is evaluating the effects of implementing these amendments.

2.c) Significant estimates and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing the financial statements at a certain date, the Group is required to make estimates and assessments affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and the contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recognized in the fiscal year or period. Actual future profit (loss) may differ from the estimates and assessments made at the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

Provisions

, measured and disclosed contingent liabilities and contingent a future events (as the provision for environmental liabilities and the provision for hydrocarbon wells abandonment control (as the provision for lawsuits and contingencies).

Except for the provision for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations and the provision for environmental liabilties whose disbursement dates are estimated on the basis of work plans, the non-current provision for lawsuits and contingencies, given the nature of the items included, it is not possible to reasonably estimate a specific schedule for the respective disbursement dates.

In relation to the provision for lawsuits and contingencies, the final outcome of complaints, claims and litigation, as well as the category assigned by the Group to a given matter may differ, since estimates are based on the interpretation of rules, contracts, opinions and assessments of the amount of damages. Therefore, any change in the circumstances related to this type of contingencies and the strategy defined in each case might have a significant effect on the provision recognized for lawsuits and contingencies or the category assigned by the Group.

In relation to the provision for environmental liabilties, the Group is subject to several environmental protection laws and regulations imposing penalties for pollution cleanup costs and environmental damages resulting from its operations. The th the laws and regulations currently in force relating to environmental protection, as they have been historically interpreted and applied. However, the Company regularly conducts studies in order to gain deeper knowledge of the environmental damage of certain geographic areas where the Group operates, in order to establish their status and any necessary remediation. Until such studies are completed and assessed, the Group cannot estimate the additional costs that will need to be incurred, if any.

In relation to the provision for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations, considering the number of wells not yet abandoned, as well as the complexity with respect to several geographic areas where the wells are located, current costs incurred for hydrocarbon wells abandonment are used for estimating future costs, which constitute the best estimate for the provision for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations. Changes in laws or regulations related to the abandonment of hydrocarbon wells, in costs, in the useful lives of hydrocarbon wells, in discount rates and/or in the applied technologies have an effect on the reassessment of these estimates. The accounting policies applied to the provision for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations are outlined in Note 2.b.3).

The Group cannot anticipate the legislation or regulations that will be enacted in the future or how future regulations will be administered, which, like the studies in progress, could materially affect the results of operations in the long term.

In relation to certain provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, the Group, in accordance with the exemption contemplated under IAS 37, has decided not to disclose certain critical information that could seriously adversely affect the Group in third-party claims.

Income tax and deferred taxes

The income tax expense for the fiscal year includes both current and deferred income tax expenses, which are determined and disclosed in compliance with IAS 12. The Group regularly assesses the positions taken in tax returns regarding situations in which tax regulations are subject to interpretations and makes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to tax authorities.

Income tax expense is calculated based on the tax laws enacted, or substantially enacted by the end of each period in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. In addition, other factors are taken into account, such as the evaluation of the options established by such laws and their regulations, the interpretations associated with tax treatments for transactions and/or events not expressly provided for under current tax laws, analyzing if the tax authority might accept an uncertain tax treatment, and estimates related to the timing and realization of deferred taxes, such as the expected effective tax rate at such date.

Deferred tax assets recognize tax loss carryforwards to the extent their offsetting through future taxable income is probable.

The main guidelines used in estimating the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets are described in Note 2.b.5).

nd deflation effects on costs, the discount rate, the volume of reserves , the distribution over time of production levels associated with such reserves and future prices of products, including the outlooks on supply and demand conditions in the local and international markets for oil, natural gas and refined products, which affect selling prices considered in cash

As regards measurement of CGUs that group assets of fields with oil and natural gas reserves, cash flow projections are used covering the economically productive life of the fields, limited by the termination of exploitation concessions, agreements or investment contracts. Cash flow projections are natural gas future selling prices, volumes of reserves, the distribution over time of production levels associated with such reserves, future investments, production costs, field depletion rates, the supply and demand in local and international markets, the current legislation and contractual conditions, among other factors. Likewise, cash flow forecasts of unproved reserves are weighted by risk factors.

Cash flow projections of CGUs that group assets other than those mentioned in the previous paragraph are estimated based, among other things, on the expected evolution of sales, unit contribution margins, fixed costs, variable costs and investment levels, in line with the outlooks contemplated in business plans and taking into account the current status of cash flow projections based on budgets or forecasts, using the appropriate discount rates.

The prices considered in cash flow projections are based on a combination of projections available in the markets where the Group operates and taking into account the specific circumstances that could affect the different products commercialized by the Group. In general, the Group does not consider temporarily low (or high) prices or margins as an impairment indication (or reversal of an impairment loss). Impairment assessment mainly reflects long-term prices that are consistent with intermediate points between the maximum and minimum ranges observed in the market and that are within the range of price forecasts published by third-party experts of the oil and gas industry and government agencies. Natural gas prices correspond to the average weighted price per basin and sales channel, determined according to current contracts and regulations and the market supply and demand forecast.

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: Market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and price risk), liquidity risk and credit risk. Within the Group, risk management functions are conducted in relation to financial risks associated to financial instruments to which the Group is exposed during a certain period or as of a specific date.

Exchange rate risk

subject to variations resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates. Since YPF s functional currency is the U.S. dollar, the currency that generates the greatest exposure is the Peso (the Argentine legal currency).

Likewise, based on the restrictions ordered by the BCRA for access to the Foreign Exchange Markets, the Group maintains an active strategy in the management of liquidity (see Note 35.g)).

However, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the exchange rate to convert pesos to U.S. dollars showed a 356% variation.

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on loans and investments in financial assets. Changes in interest rates may affect the interest income and loss derived from financial assets and liabilities tied to a variable interest rate.

The Group's strategy to hedge interest rate risk is based on maintaining relatively low percentages of debt at a variable interest rate and use derivative financial instruments to hedge the risks associated with interest rates.

The table below provides information about the financial assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023 that accrue interest considering the applicable rate:

(2) Includes only financial loans. Does not include accounts payable, which mostly do not accrue interest, nor the leases liabilities.

(3) Includes principal and interest.

The variable rate financial loans represent 8% of the total loans as of December 31, 2023, and include NO, pre-financing of exports and financial loans with local and international entities. The loans at variable interest rate are mainly subject to the fluctuations in BADLAR, SOFR, LIBOR, CDI and SELIC, of which 44 accrue interest of BADLAR plus a spread between 0.10% and 5.00%, 607 accrue interest of SOFR plus a spread between 0.25% and 8.50%, 4 accrue interest of LIBOR plus a spread of 1.50%, 7 accrue interest of CDI plus a spread between 0.34% and 6.00% and 2 accrue interest of SELIC plus a spread between 2.75% and 4.90%.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Group entered into interest rate swaps.

Financial assets mainly include, in addition to loans with related parties and trade receivables, which have low exposure to interest rate risk, fixed-interest deposits, BCRA bills, public securities and private securities.

The Group is exposed to the own price risk for investments in financial instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss (public securities and mutual funds). The Group continuously monitors the change in these investments for significant movements.

The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge the risks associated with the fluctuations of the prices of commodities as well as the price risk inherent to investments in public securities and mutual funds.

As of December 31, 2023, the Group was not significantly affected by the variation in the valuation of mutual funds and public securities (see section in Note 6). As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss amounts to 210.

The following table shows the effect that a 10% variation in the prices of investments in financial instruments would have on profit or loss before income tax as of December 31, 2023:

Impact on profit or loss before income tax Increase (+) / decrease (-) in the
prices

The Group's pricing policy regarding the sale of fuels contemplates several factors such as international and local oil prices, international prices of refined products, processing and distribution costs, the prices of biofuels, the exchange rate fluctuations, local demand and supply, competition, inventories, export duties, local taxes, domestic margins for the products, among others.

The Group's expectation is to align, over time, local prices with those in international markets, seeking to maintain a reasonable relationship between the local prices of crude oil and fuels, without considering short-term fluctuations; however, the exposure to price risk will depend on other key factors that are also considered in the Group's pricing policy (including, but not limited to, abrupt changes in the exchange rate or in international prices, or potential legal or regulatory limitations, or other limitations that affect the ability of the markets to face abrupt price changes), and which may therefore lead the Group to not be able to maintain such relationship. In 2023, oil deliveries were negotiated between producers and refiners or sellers.

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is associated with the possibility of a mismatch between the need of funds to meet short, medium or longterm obligations. The Group intends to align the maturity profile of its financial debt to be related to its ability to generate enough cash to finance the projected expenditures for each year. As of December 31, 2023, the availability of liquidity reached 1,123, considering cash of 230 and other liquid financial assets of 893. Additionally, the Group has other investments freely available for 217 included in Investments in financial assets line item in the statement of financial position (see Note 14). Uncommitted bank credit lines together with the capital market constitute an important source of funding. Likewise, YPF has the ability to issue debt under the Frequent Issuer Regime.

Based on the restrictions established by the BCRA for access to the Exchange Market to maturities of principal amounts of offshore debts and the issuance of debt securities denominated in foreign currency scheduled until December 31, 2023, all the provisions issued were fulfilled by the Group. See Notes 21 and 35.g).

market-standard covenants for contracts of this nature, which include financial covenants adverse judicial judgements, among others. See Notes 16, 32 and 33.

Under the terms of the loan agreements and NO, if the Group breached a covenant or if it could not remedy it within the stipulated period, it would default, a situation that would limit its liquidity and, given that the majority of its loans contain cross default provisions, it could result in an early enforceability of its obligations.

The Group monitors compliance with covenants on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2023, the Group is in compliance with its covenants.

It should be noted that, under the terms and conditions of the loans that our subsidiary Metrogas has taken, the interest coverage ratio would not have been complied with, which could have accelerated the maturities of these financial liabilities. However, the financial creditors formally accepted to waive Metrogas from complying with the contractual obligation related to such financial ratio, as of December 31, 2023.

Credit risk management

Credit risk is defined as the possibility of a third party not complying with its contractual obligations, thus negatively affecting results of operations of the Group.

Credit risk in the Group is measured and controlled on an individual customer basis. The Group has its own systems to conduct a permanent evaluation of credit performance and the determination of risk limits of all of its customers and to third parties, in line with best practices using for such end internal customer records and external data sources.

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to a credit concentration risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments in financial assets, trade receivables and other receivables. The Group invests excess cash primarily in high liquid investments with financial institutions with a strong credit rating both in Argentina and abroad. In the normal course of business and based on ongoing credit evaluations to its customers, the Group provides credit to its customers and certain related parties.

Likewise, the charge for doubtful trade losses is charged to net income in the statement of comprehensive income, based on specific information regarding its clients.

Provisions for doubtful accounts are measured by the criteria mentioned in Note 2.b.7).

The maximum exposure to credit risk of the Group of December 31, 2023 based on the type of its financial instruments and without excluding the amounts covered by several types of guarantees is set forth below:

Fair value measurements

IFRS 13 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount for which an asset could be All financial instruments measured at fair value are assigned to one of the valuation hierarchy levels specified under IFRS 13 (as well as loans measured at amortized cost whose fair value is disclosed in section). This valuation hierarchy comprises 3 levels.

  • (i) Level 1: The valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities that the Group can refer to at the end of the period. A market is deemed active if transactions take place with sufficient frequency and in sufficient quantity for price information to be available on an ongoing basis. Since a quoted price in an active market is the most reliable indicator of fair value, this should always be used if available. Financial instruments assigned by the Group to this level comprise investments in listed mutual funds and public securities.

  • (ii) Level 2: The fair value is determined by using valuation methods based on inputs directly or indirectly observable in the market. If the financial instrument concerned has a fixed contract period, the inputs used for valuation must be observable for the whole of this period. The Group has not valued financial instruments under this level.

  • (iii) Level 3: The Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as no market data is factors, which market players would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the best available information for this, including internal company data. The Group has not valued financial instruments under this level.

The Group estimates the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment based on the guidelines and methodology mentioned in Notes 2.b.5) and 2.c).

The Group permanently monitors the outlook of the businesses where it operates. In general, it analyzes macroeconomic variables such as price indexes and currency devaluation, among others, and in particular, for the natural gas market, the demand volume to be covered and natural gas sales prices.

In relation to the natural gas market, incentive schemes were established in recent years in order to increase the domestic production of natural gas. As of 2018 and 2019, an excess in the supply from the increased production on unconventional fields with respect to the domestic demand was observed at specific times of the year, an unusual situation in the past, which affected natural gas production due to the temporary shutdown of wells. This situation generated a reduction in natural gas sales price in the local market, which generated a drop in natural gas production due to the lack of incentives to develop projects. Consequently, on November 16, 2020, the National Government approved the Plan GasAr 2020-2024 with the aim of making viable investments to increase the production of natural gas in all the country's basins and satisfy the hydrocarbon needs of the local market. Subsequently and with the same objective, on November 4, 2022, the National Government approved the Plan GasAr 2023-2028. Within this framework, YPF undertook natural gas production commitments in the Neuquina, Austral and Noroeste basins. See Note 35.d.1).

As of December 31, 2021, the Group recognized an impairment charge of property, plant and equipment for the CGU Gas - Austral Basin of 97 (63 net of the income tax effect) generated from the lower than expected production due to field performance and higher production costs. The discount rate after taxes used as of December 31, 2021 was 14.08%, and the recoverable value after taxes as of such date of the CGU Gas - Austral Basin was equal to 135. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, the book value of the net assets of the CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin amounts to 2,435 and approximated its recoverable value. Therefore, the Group did not recognize any impairment charges or reversals of previous impairments for the year ended on that date, mainly for the purpose of complying with the Plan GasAr 2020-2024 in such basin.

8. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (cont.)

As of September 30, 2022, the Group recognized an impairment charge of property, plant and equipment for the CGU Gas - Austral Basin of 98 (64 net of the income tax), mainly generated by production cost increases. The discount rate after taxes used as of September 30, 2022 was 14.63%.

As of December 31, 2022, the Group recognized an additional impairment charge of property, plant and equipment for the CGU Gas - Austral Basin of 25 (16 net of the income tax), mainly generated from the lower than expected production due to field performance and by production cost increases. The discount rate after taxes used as of December 31, 2022 was 14.80%, and the recoverable amount after taxes as of such date of the CGU Gas - Austral Basin was equal to 65. In addition, the book value of the net assets of the CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin amounts to 2,585 and approximated its recoverable value. Therefore, the Group did not recognize any impairment charges or reversals of previous impairments for the year ended on that date, mainly for the purpose of complying with the Plan GasAr 2020-2024 and Plan GasAr 20232028 in such basin.

As of September 30, 2023, the Group recognized an impairment charge of property, plant and equipment for the CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin of 506 (329 net of the income tax), generated by a combination of variables, including mainly, a higher competition in the domestic natural gas market which may lead to a drop in natural gas sales prices in the medium and long term and a consequent adequacy in our production. The discount rate after taxes used as of September 30, 2023 was 14.89%. In addition, as of December 31, 2023, the book value of the net assets of the CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin amounts to 2,400 and approximates its recoverable value. The Group will continue analyzing the prospects for the variables mentioned above to further estimate their impact on expected cash flows.

the Upstream business segment, mainly mature fields related to the CGU Oil, CGU Gas - Austral Basin and CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin and expects fair value less cost of disposal to be less than their carrying amount. The Company considers this to be an impairment loss indicator under IAS 36. Accordingly, the Company performed an impairment review separately from its CGU and recognized an impairment charge of property, plant and equipment of 1,782 (1,158 net of the income tax effect) as of December 31, 2023, considering the net assets and recoverable value of each disposal group.

Considering, most of the transactions of oil and gas assets in Argentina during recent years are related to fields where the main targeted reservoirs are unconventional formations (specifically, the Vaca Muerta formation), and for the transactions that could be considered comparable to the assets evaluated in each disposal group, the publicly available information was insufficient to derive conclusions for a fair value in active markets for identical assets to those of each disposal group (Level 1), or inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets, either directly or indirectly (Level 2).

Accordingly, the recoverable value for each disposal group was determined applying an asset valuation technique commonly used in the oil and gas industry which is the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis technique. This valuation is considered to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to unobservable inputs used in the valuation, representing the fair value less costs of disposal measurement.

In estimating the discounted cash flows of the disposal groups, the Company worked closely with a third-party qualified independent valuer not related to the Group, with appropriate qualifications, to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model.

8. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (cont.)

This valuation technique required projections of production, operating expenses, capital expenditures, hydrocarbon wells abandonment costs, royalties and taxes and the date of the termination of the concessions. The key assumptions to which the disposal groups recoverable amounts are most sensitive are production, crude oil and natural gas prices, discount rate and macroeconomic variables. Values for reserves were expressed in terms of future gross revenue, future net revenue, present value and considering a ten-year extension of the termination of certain concessions expiring in the near term. Future net revenue was calculated by deducting royalties paid in cash, operating expenses, capital expenditures and hydrocarbon wells abandonment costs, production taxes, and Argentine income taxes from future gross revenue. Operating expenses include field operating expenses, transportation and processing expenses, and an allocation of overhead that directly relates to production activities. Capital costs include drilling and completion costs, facilities costs, and field maintenance costs. Hydrocarbon wells abandonment costs are those costs associated with the removal of facilities, plugging of wells and reclamation and restoration associated with the abandonment. Present value was defined as future net revenue discounted at a discount rate post tax, which as of December 31, 2023 was 15%.

Set forth below is the cost evolution for the exploratory wells in evaluation stage as of the years ended on December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021:

16. PROVISIONS (cont.)

16.a.3) Users and Consumers Association

The Users and Consumers Association claims (originally against Repsol YPF S.A. before extending its claim to YPF) the reimbursement of the overprice allegedly charged to bottled LPG consumers from periods between years 1993 to 1997 and from 1997 to 2001.

On December 28, 2015, the lower court rendered judgment admitting the claim for compensation from period between years 1993-1997 term filed by the Users and Consumers Association against YPF and ordered the Company to transfer the amount of 98 plus interest (to be estimated by the expert witness in the settlement period) to the SE, to be allocated to the trust fund created under Law No. 26,020.

The ruling rejects the claim for the items corresponding to the period 1997domestic bulk LPG market had not been sufficiently proved. Furthermore, the ruling dismissed the complaint against Repsol S.A., as Repsol YPF S.A. had no equity interest in YPF, nor any other kind of relation with YPF from 1993 to 1997, period in which the plaintiffs claim YPF abused its dominant position.

Both parties filed an appeal against that decision, which was admitted with suspensive effect.

On December 7, 2017, the Company was notified about the Court of Second Appeal claims for compensation for the 1993-1997 period; (ii) extends the Users and Consumers Association claim from period between years 1997 to deferring the settlement related to the item to the execution stage of the judgment; and (iii) partially grants the appeal filed e higher cost

It should be noted that the ruling confirmed by the Court of Second Appeals does not order YPF to pay the claimant the ultimately settled amount, but rather to transfer such funds to the SE for the funds to be allocated to a trust fund created by Law No. 26,020, in order to expand the natural gas network in areas with lower resources according to the criteria established by the enforcement authority. The enforcement authority, within 6 months from the firm settlement of the judgment amount, must present the corresponding feasibility studies (Decree No. 470/2015) together with a work plan beginning within 6 months from the presentation of the feasibility studies.

Finally, the Company filed an extraordinary appeal against the judgment of the Court of Appeals, which was sustained and ts opinion on the legal merits of the extraordinary appeal.

Should these claims be sustained, they could demand additional investments related to the operation of La Plata Refinery.

Under this agreement, the parties agreed to jointly perform a work program in the channels adjacent to La Plata Refinery over a term of 8 years, and which involved the characterization and risk assessment studies of channel sediments. The agreement provides that should corrective actions be detected as a result of the risk assessment studies, the different alternatives and available techniques will be considered, as well as the steps needed for their implementation. Dating studies of deposited material will also be performed under the agreement, in order to determine the responsibilities of the Argentine Government in view of its 88% to 91% of the hydrocarbons present in the channels were deposited prior to 1991. In this context, YPF, with the agreement of the OPDS, carried out several studies and characterizations through specialized consultants whose progress was notified to the provincial agency. The agreement was replaced by Resolution No. 380/2019 issued by said entity, which approves the remediation modality suggested by YPF (monitored natural recovery) over a term of 24 months. YPF has answered all points required by the OPDS and requested the extension of the Resolution. On June 26, 2023, through Resolution No. 2,775/2023 issued by the Ministry of Environment of the Province of Buenos Aires, YPF obtained a twoyear extension to continue with the remediation and monitoring works through the suggested remediation modality (monitored natural recovery).

Regarding the judicial claims mentioned above, on February 7, 2021, the Company was notified of the first instance judgment which considered the environmental damage had been proved, and therefore ordered that activities should cease and the environmental damage affecting the waterways adjacent to La Plata Refinery be remedied. This decision determined the coGovernment 80% and YPF 20%) and the 2 co-defendant companies 10%. The decision was appealed by the Company. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, said appeal is pending resolution by the Federal Court of La Plata.

Quilmes

As regards with a fuel leak in the pipeline running from La Plata to Dock Sud (Progressive 37), currently operated by YPF, which occurred in 1988 when YPF was an Argentine state-owned company, as a result of an unlawful act that caused the rupture of the polyduct, there are several claims, mostly brought by neighbors of the area where they claim (i) compensation for personal damages allegedly caused by such event and (ii) environmental remediation. These processes are at the discovery stage. Fuel would have emerged and become perceptible in November 2002, which resulted in remediation works in progress conducted by the Company in the affected area, supervised by the environmental authority of the Province of Buenos Aires.

The Argentine Government denied any responsibility to indemnify YPF in this case, wherefore the Company sued the Argentine Government to obtain a judicial decision declaring the invalidity of such decision. This lawsuit has not yet been resolved.

Other environmental claims

In addition to the claims discussed above, the Group has other environmental lawsuits in progress where it is claimed (i) individual damages and/or (ii) environmental remediation and/or (iii) collective damages. These proceedings are related to the activities performed by the Group in different jurisdictions of the country. In all these cases, considering the information available to date, the estimated time remaining until the end of the proceedings, and the results of the additional evidence to be presented during the continuation of the litigation, the Group has set up a provision in an amount it considers sufficient to face these claims.

16.a.5) Tax claims

Dispute over the cost deduction for hydrocarbon well abandonment

The Company has recorded the hydrocarbon wells abandonment costs in accordance with the criteria detailed in Note 2.b.3) and, in the absence of a specific treatment of this matter in the Income Tax Law and its Regulatory Decree, has deducted the charge for hydrocarbon wells abandonment costs in the calculation of this tax, based on the general criteria of the tax standard for deduction of expenses (accrual criteria). Nevertheless, this interpretation has been objected to by the AFIP, which would allow for deductions once the expense has been incurred.

16. PROVISIONS (cont.)

The AFIP understands that the deduction of expenses for hydrocarbon well abandonment should be deferred until the taxpayer has the opportunity to actually proceed to well abandonment, once the wells have been exhausted, as it considers the abandonment of the well is the event triggering the accrual of hydrocarbon well abandonment expenses.

On the other hand, the Company, as well as other companies in the oil industry, understand that the substantial event generating costs in connection with well abandonment is, in fact, the act of drilling, as drilling causes environmental impact and, consequently, the obligation to repair such impact (abandonment). This obligation is not subject to any condition since there is no uncertainty as to whether well depletion will inevitably occur. The Company has learned that similar disputes have been raised by the AFIP with other companies in the oil industry.

In this respect, in June 2016, the SRH of MINEM, the body in charge of clarifying the origin of the legal obligation in this respect, and in response to a consultation of the Chamber of Oil Exploration and Production, ruled in favor of the position of the oil companies and concluded that drilling is the substantial event generating the charge for well abandonment.

This response of the Chamber has been informed to the AFIP by both the SRH and by YPF but, with different arguments the AFIP rejected this position.

On November 7, 2018, the Company was notified by AFIP of the commencement of a determination procedure with respect to the projected adjustment for fiscal years 2011 to 2016. The Company filed its defense with the AFIP on December 21, 2018.

On February 3, 2020, the Company was notified by AFIP of the commencement of a determination procedure with respect to the projected adjustment for fiscal years 2017. The Company filed before the AFIP its defense on March 17, 2020.

On August 26, 2020, Law No. 27,562 was published in the BO, expanding the regime for the regularization of taxes, social security contributions and customs duties originally established under Law No. 27,541, which was regulated by AFIP General Resolution No. 4,816/2020.

On June 9, 2021 YPF waived the statute of limitations for fiscal year 2014 to allow the AFIP to analyze the legal grounds for the defense filed by the Company on December 21, 2018, in the context of the administrative proceeding.

The Company, based on the opinion of its external advisors, and notwithstanding the technical merits for defending its position, evaluated the regularization plan provided for under Laws No. 27,562 and No. 27,653 for the income tax and the compensations made in due course with the credit balances generated by such tax, and on November 30, 2020 and March 30, 2022, adhered to the aforementioned plans, thus putting an end to the dispute over the cost deduction for hydrocarbon well abandonment corresponding to fiscal periods 2011 to 2013 and fiscal periods 2014 to 2017, respectively.

ll abandonment costs at the time of the drilling phase was admitted, considering them as part of the investment cost, regardless of the period in which the effective abandonment disbursement is made.

16.a.6) Other pending litigation

During the normal course of business, the Group has been sued in numerous legal proceedings at labor, civil and commercial courts. The Company, in consultation with its external counsel, has established a provision considering to such end the best estimate based on information available as of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, including legal fees and court costs.

16.b) Provision for environmental liabilities and Provision for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations

ediation and hydrocarbon well abandonment plans, the Group has set up a provision for environmental liabilities, where assessments and/or remedial actions are probable and can reasonably be estimated, and for hydrocarbon well abandonment, considering the number of wells not yet abandoned, the costs and schedule for the disbursement dates.

21. LOANS (cont.)

Exchange of NO

In the context of the foreign exchange restrictions established by BCRA (see Note 35.g)) and complying to said regulation through the refinancing reached in July 2020 in relation to the Class XLVII NO with maturity in 2021, and with the additional objective of easing the financial commitments of the Company for the next 2 years, on January 7, 2021, YPF launched an ), for new Classes XVI, XVII and XVIII NO ( U.S. dollars at a step up fixed interest rate, ranging from 1.5% to 9%, repayable between 2023 and 2033, including an initial cash payment for Class XLVII NO.

The New Negotiable Obligations contain covenants, similar to those of the Existing Negotiable Obligations. In addition, Class XVI NO are secured by (i) the assignment of collection rights arising from the export of certain exportable products under sale agreements entered into by YPF with widely recognized market traders; and (ii) a first pledge on YPF EE shares representing 50% of the outstanding capital stock and voting rights in this company, as long as at least 50% of the principal of Class XVI NO remains outstanding.

On February 11, 2021, upon expiration of the early participation period for holders of Class XLVII NO and the exchange offer for the rest of the Existing Negotiable Obligations, YPF announced that it had reached a global participation to the exchange of 32% and 59.8% of Class XLVII NO. With such results, and taking into account that the refinancing of principal and interest of Existing Negotiable Obligations that were included in the exchange largely exceeds the required 60% Exchange Market to pay the cash component offered to holders that submitted Class XLVII NO in exchange, and to pay Class XLVII NO that were not exchanged at their maturity.

Therefore, on February 12, 2021, and March 1, 2021 (closing date for late participation of Class XLVII NO holders), YPF issued new Classes XVI, XVII and XVIII NO for a total principal amount of 775.8, 747.8 and 575.6, respectively, and tender instructions were received to submit the Existing Negotiable Obligation as detailed below:

  • Class XLVII NO for a principal amount of 247.3.

  • Class XXVIII NO for a principal amount of 656.4.

  • Class XIII NO for a principal amount of 201.7.

  • Class XXXIX NO for a principal amount of 368.2.

  • Class LIII NO for a principal amount of 190.7.

  • Class I NO for a principal amount of 101.0.

  • Class LIV NO for a principal amount of 213.4.

YPF assessed whether the instruments subject to exchange were substantially different, considering both qualitative (e.g., currency, term, rate, among others) and quantitative aspects (if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received, and discounted using the original effective interest rates, is at least 10% different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liabilities). In this regard, the Company recognized the exchange of the NO as a debt modification according to IFRS 9 due to the fact that the instruments subject to exchange were not substantially different. As a result of the transaction, YPF recognized a profit of 21 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (see Note 28).

29. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT AGREEMENTS

The Group participates in JA and other agreements that give to the Group a contractually established percentage over the rights of the assets and obligations that emerge from the contracts.

The exploration and production JA and other agreements in which the Group participates allocate the hydrocarbon production to each partner based on the ownership interest contractually established in them. Consequently, such hydrocarbons are commercialized directly by the partners recognizing each of them the corresponding economic effects.

32.a) Legal proceedings

32.a.1) Introduction

At the time of its acquisition by YP have certain liabilities related to former operations of a previous Maxus subsidiary: Diamond Shamrock Chemicals Company ("Chemicals"). In 1986, Maxus sold Chemicals to Occidental Chemical Corporation ("Occidental"), and in connection with that sale agreed to indemnify Chemicals and Occidental from and against certain liabilities relating to the business or activities of Chemicals prior to September 4, 1986, including environmental liabilities relating to chemical plants and waste disposal sites used by Chemicals prior to that date. Mainly as a result of such indemnity obligation, the Maxus Entities have been involved in various administrative and judicial proceedings of an environmental and contractual nature in the United States, as described in Note 32.a.2).

In June 2016, each of the Maxus Entities filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United -claims described in Note 32.a.2.ii). In December 2016, as part of their reorganization process, the Maxus Entities, in their capacity as debtors, filed their proposed plan of liquidation ("Liquidation Plan") in accordance with the United States Bankruptcy Code. In March 2017 the Maxus Entities and the creditors trust ("Liquidating Trust") and the cancellation of the equity participations of YPF Holdings and YCLH YCLH , formerly CLH Holdings, Inc.) in the Maxus Entities. The Bankruptcy Court approved the Alternative Plan in May 2017, which was confirmed and became effective in July 2017.

In June 2018, the Liquidating Trust filed a lawsuit with the Bankruptcy Court against YPF, YPF Holdings, YCLH Holdings claiming alleged damages in an amount up to 14,000, on the basis of allegations of fraudulent transfers and alter ego liability of the YPF Defendants in connection with corporate restructuring transactions of the Maxus Entities. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s decades, certain restructuring transactions were carried out in respect of the international operations of the Group, including certain operations by the companies that made up the Maxus Entities' group, which were carried out in the ordinary course of business with the legitimate objective of achieving greater efficiencies in the management of such international operations. For its part, the Liquidating Trust alleged that (i) these restructuring transactions constitute fraudulent transfers for which the YPF Defendants are liable, and (ii) the YPF Defendants are an alter ego of the Maxus Entities and are responsible for all of their liabilities, including the environmental liabilities described in Note 32.a.2.i). The YPF Defendants rejected these allegations made by the Liquidating Trust for considering them without merit and obtained ty for all liabilities and contingencies of the Maxus Entities) proposed by the Liquidating Trust related to the alleged alter ego damages, as described in Note 32.a.4).

(collectively, the "Repsol Defendants") signed, among other documents, a settle

amount, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including court approvals and other procedural events, as described in Note 32.a.4).

32.a.2) Background to the Reorganization Process of the Maxus Entities under the United States Bankruptcy Code

Following the petition filed by the Maxus Entities with the Bankruptcy Court under the United States Bankruptcy Code in June 2016, the Company only has access to information regarding administrative and judicial proceedings against the Maxus Entities that is published by the competent authorities and/or that is publicly filed by the parties involved in such

The development of these administrative and judicial proceedings was relevant to the Company in light of the Liquidating Maxus Enti theory). However, as described in Note 32.a.4), on June 22, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court granted partial summary judgment in favor of the YPF D ory, the Bankruptcy Court agreed with the YPF Defendants that the alleged alter ego damages required evidence of causation and, therefore, the Liquidating Trust would have to prove that the claimed damages were caused by the alleged alter ego conduct. Moreover, as described in Note 32.a.4), the case brought by the Liquidating Trust has been dismissed.

32.a.2.i) Environmental administrative matters

In 1986 at the time of the sale of Chemicals to Occidental, TS (formerly Chemical Land Holdings, Inc.) owned a chemical plant located on Lister Avenue in Newark, New Jersey, on the banks of the Passaic River. The plant allegedly discharged chemicals that contaminated the area surrounding the plant ("Lister Site"), the Passaic River and Newark Bay. After the sale and up to the date the Maxus Entities filed the petition for reorganization with the Bankruptcy Court in June 2016, the plant in the Lister Site continued to be owned by TS. Occidental alleged that under the sale agreement, Maxus made itself liable to indemnify Occidental for all environmental liabilities related to the Lister Site, the Passaic River and the Newark Bay that may be Chemicals´ or Occidental´s responsibility. Throughout the 1990s and subsequently, the EPA, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ( Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ("NOAA") initiated several administrative proceedings against Occidental, the Maxus Entities, and various other entities in connection with the study and remediation of environmental liabilities located at the Lister Site, the Passaic River, and Newark Bay, which gave rise to, among others, those mentioned below:

  • 2014 Feasibility Study and 2016 ROD issued by the EPA for the environmental remediation of the lower 8.3 miles of the Passaic River;

  • Removal actions next to the Lister Site undertaken by TS under the 2008 consent agreement with the EPA;

  • 2019 remedial investigation report for the lower 17 miles of the Passaic River, 2020 feasibility study for the lower 17 miles of the Passaic River, and 2021 ROD issued by the EPA for the upper 9 miles of the Passaic River;

  • Feasibility study for the Newark Bay and parts of the Hackensack, Arthur Kill and Kill van Kull rivers.

As of the effective date of the Trust Settlement Agreement, the Oxy Settlement Agreement and the Government Agreement (see Note 32.a.4)), certain administrative proceedings, to which the YPF Defendants are not parties, remained pending.

32.a.2.ii) Legal proceedings in the courts of New Jersey for the Passaic River

In relation to the alleged contamination in the Passaic River, Newark Bay, other nearby waterways and surrounding areas, in 2005 the DEP sued Maxus, TS, YPF, YPF Holdings, YCLH Holdings, Repsol and other companies, including Occidental (later adding YPF International), before the New Jersey Court seeking remediation of natural resources damages and punitive damages, among other claims.

According to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the DEP would agree to release certain claims related to environmental liabilities within a geographic area of the Passaic River initiated against YPF, YPF International, YPF Holdings, YCLH Holdings, Maxus and TS, recognizing a limited liability of up to 400 collectively, for these and other participants in the litigation if they were found responsible. In return, Maxus would make cash payment of 65 at the time of approval of the Settlement Agreement.

Simultaneously, Repsol reached a settlement agreement with the DEP, agreeing to pay 65 (subject to the same 400 limitation described above).

In 2013, the New Jersey Court approved the Settlement Agreement and, on February 10, 2014, in compliance with the Settlement Agreement, Maxus made a deposit of 65.

Additionally, on December 16, 2014, the New Jersey Court approved a settlement agreement whereby the DEP agreed to settle all claims against Occidental related to the environmental liabilities within a specific geographical area of the Passaic River, in consideration for the payment of 190 and a sum amounting up to 400 to reimburse the State of New Jersey in the event it is required to pay a percentage of the costs for future remedial actions in accordance with the United States Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act.

Following the signing of the aforementioned settlement agreements, the cross-claims between the defendants (Occidental, Maxus, TS, YPF, YPF International, YPF Holdings, YCLH Holdings and Repsol) remained pending resolution by the New Jersey Court.

However, such cross-claims were stayed as of June 17, 2016, when Maxus, TS, and other affiliated companies each filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 with the Bankruptcy Court, as described in Note 32.a.3).

Moreover, if the Liquidation Plan were approved, the 2016 Agreement with the Maxus Entities would likely be confirmed and the claims against the YPF Entities, including the alter-ego claims, would be settled and released in exchange for the 130 Settlement Payment.

The Liquidation Plan, however, provided for certain contingencies should the Bankruptcy Court not approve the 2016 -ego claims, would be transferred into a liquidating trust.

By the approval of the financing offered by Occidental under the Alternative Plan, the Bankruptcy Court ordered the return of the outstanding amounts (12) under the terms of the DIP Loan, which were subsequently returned to YPF Holdings.

On May 22, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order confirming the Alternative Plan submitted by the Creditors Committee and the Maxus Entities, which became effective as of July 14, 2017. Through the Alternative Plan the Liquidating Trust was created, which brought in 2018 the complaint referred to in Note 32.a.4) hereafter.

In order to carry out this analysis, the Company followed the guidelines established in IFRS 10 to reassess whether it maintained control over the activities of the Maxus Entities. This analysis, in accordance with IAS 8, was complemented by the criteria set forth in the United States Standard ASC 810 published by the FASB, the principles of which are consistent with IFRS 10, but addresses in more detail the issues related to the consolidation of entities that file a reorganization proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

32. ISSUES RELATED TO MAXUS ENTITIES (cont.)

Generally, when an entity files a reorganization petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code, shareholders do not maintain the ability to exercise the power to make decisions that have a significant impact on the economic performance of the business of entities because that power is usually subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

The Hydrocarbons Law lays down the principles governing the exploration, exploitation, industrialization, transportation and commercialization of hydrocarbon resources in Argentina. The most relevant aspects of this Law are as follows:

  • Liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon reservoirs located in Argentine territory and its continental shelf belong to the Argentine Government or the Provinces, depending on their territorial location. Activities related to hydrocarbon exploration, exploitation, industrialization, transportation and commercialization shall be undertaken by stateowned, private or mixed ownership companies, under the provisions of the Hydrocarbons Law and the regulations issued by the PEN. Besides, these companies shall be registered with the Registry of Oil Companies created under SE Resolution No. 407/2007, under which a technical and financial analysis of those companies is conducted on an annual basis. Companies not so registered are not authorized to undertake activities in oilfields located in argentine territory.

  • The terms for exploration permits are set at each call for bids by the enforcement authority, according to the exploration objective: (i) permit for conventional exploration concessions, the term is divided into 2 periods of up to 3 years each, plus an optional extension of up to 5 years; (ii) permit for unconventional exploration, the term is divided into 2 periods of up to 4 years each, plus an optional extension of up to 5 years; and (iii) permit for exploration in continental shelf and territorial waters, the term is divided into 2 periods of 3 years each, which may be extended for 1 year each.

The terms for exploitation concessions, which shall run from the date the concession is awarded under the respective regulation, shall be as follows: (i) conventional exploitation concession: 25 years; (ii) unconventional exploitation concession: 35 years; and (iii) exploitation concession in continental shelf and territorial waters: 30 years. Besides, at least one year prior to the expiration of the concession, the holder of the exploitation concession may request an unlimited number of concession extensions, each for a term of 10 years.

  • Holders of exploitation concessions may obtain a transportation concession to evacuate their production. Thus, the term of transportation concessions originating from a conventional exploitation concession will be 25 years, and those originating from an unconventional exploitation concession 35 years, counted from the date of the concession award plus any extension of the terms which may be granted.

Since the issuance of Decree No. 115/2019, the term of transportation concessions awarded through a bidding process will be 35 years from the date of award, which may be extended for an additional term of 10 years. Additionally, holders of transportation concessions granted from the effective date of such Decree and expansions of facility capacity in transportation concessions granted prior to such date and carried out thereafter, may ensure firm service capacity to shippers through capacity reservation contracts. These contracts may be freely negotiated regarding their allocation modality, prices and volumes. The uncontracted capacity and the unused contracted capacity shall be subject to the tariff to be approved by the enforcement authority.

  • Holders of an exploration permit and exploitation concession shall pay: (i) annually in advance, a fee per each square kilometer or fraction, according to the scale specified by the PEN; and (ii) a percentage between 12% and 18% of wellhead production of the liquid hydrocarbons extracted by way of royalty, allowing the national or provincial Executive Branch, as appropriate, and as grantors of such concessions, to reduce this rate to five percent (5%) considering the productivity, conditions and location of the wells. In addition, they are subject to federal, provincial and municipal taxes, customs duties on imports and exports, and, during the effective term of the exploration permit, to the tax regime established under the Hydrocarbons Law.

  • Default on the obligations arising under permits and concessions may cause the expiration of the terms, or the imposition of fines by the enforcement authority, as specified in the Hydrocarbons Law.

Also, title to hydrocarbon resources was transferred by the Argentine Government to the Provinces under the following laws and decisions which amended the Hydrocarbons Law:

  • In 1992, Law No. 24,145 approved the transfer of hydrocarbon reserves to the Provinces where they are located.

  • In 1994, the Argentine Constitution was amended. Under this amendment, the Provinces were granted the primary control of natural resources within their territories.

  • In 2003, under Decree No. 546/2003, the right to award exploration permits and/or exploitation concessions and transportation concessions in certain locations designated as transfer areas, as well as in other areas designated by competent provincial authorities, was transferred to the Provinces.

35.b.2) Refined products

Resolution No. 5/2016 issued by the former SRH, which replaced Annex II to SE Resolution No. 1,283/2006, established specifications for diesel grades 2 and 3 and gasoline, which include changes in the content of lead, manganese, oxygen and ethanol, and, more significantly, in relation to sulphur, demanding oil companies to implement a plan to reduce sulphur limits to 50 mg/kg for gasoline grade 2, to 10 mg/kg for gasoline grade 3 and up to 350 mg/kg for diesel grade 2. In order to meet the new specifications, oil companies had to submit to the enforcement authority a detailed schedule of the investment program for the following years.

Through SE Resolution No. 576/2019, which modified former SRH Resolution No. 5/2016, new specifications were established for gasoline grade 2 and diesel grade 2, and the deadline to meet these requirements was extended since January 1, 2024.

However, through SE Resolution No. 492/2023 a specific mechanism was established to defer the effective date of the specifications of SE Resolution No. 576/2019 in accordance with the schedules detailed by each oil company to reach the required specifications. In this sense, in relation to the detailed schedule of the investment program submitted by the Company, the enforcement authority decided to extend the deadline to comply with the specifications for gasoline grade 2 produced at the La Plata Industrial Complex until June 30, 2024, and for diesel grade 2 produced at the Luján de Cuyo Industrial Complex until December 31, 2025. Therefore, the Company is currently executing the last works in compliance with the applicable Resolution.

35.c) Regulations applicable to the Gas and Power segment

35.c.1) Transportation, distribution and commercialization of natural gas

Law No. 24,076 (the Regulatory Decree No. 1,738/1992, regulate natural gas public transportation and distribution services. The Gas Law also created the ENARGAS to administer and enforce the legal framework adopted for the transportation, distribution and commercialization of natural gas.

Natural gas transmission and distribution systems are divided into 2 main gas pipelines, the Northern and Southern systems, operated by transportation companies and 9 regional distribution companies. These systems operate under the open access principle, whereby natural gas suppliers have access to the available capacity without discrimination. Besides, under the Gas Law, transportation companies are not allowed to buy or sell natural gas (with certain exceptions) and certain forms of cross-ownership among producers, transporters, distributors and sellers is forbidden.

The domestic wholesale demand of natural gas is divided into 4 segments: (i) priority demand supplied by distribution companies (residential demand and other non-industrial users, hereinaft

Regarding commercialization, the Gas Law provides that prices shall result from the free interaction of supply and demand, and established the right to transfer the acquisition cost of natural gas to users of the distribution system.

However, regulations applicable to natural gas commercialization were affected by the declaration of public emergency under Law No. 25,561 enacted on Janu of 2002), the financial crisis of 2001, the end of the convertibility regime and the freezing of transportation and distribution tariffs. Thus, a series of provisional decisions modified the pricing system and the volumes tendered, among which the following stand out: regulations seeking to establish agreements between producers and the SE to ensure offer volumes and an interim process for price reconversion; rules regulating natural gas dispatch which granted powers to redirect injected natural gas and other mechanisms to ensure the supply of the priority demand (Distribution segment).

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

In 2017, after the Public Emergency Law of 2002 ceased to be effective, a transition process began for the supply of the Distribution segment, which comprised: calling upon producers and ENARSA to reach an agreement on the basic establishing a mechanism for competitive bidding for the term April 2019-March 2020 and the subsequent renewal (instructed by the SE) of the contracts resulting from the bidding process until the expiration of the term established in article 5 of Law No. 27,541 (the Solidarity Law declaring the public emergency of the energy sector).

From January 1, 2021, since the approval of the Plan GasAr 2020-2024 by Decree No. 892/2020 (see Note 35.d.1)), the demand from the Distribution segment and most of the demand from the thermoelectric generation segment are duly supplied, and therefore, the prices received by producers supplying these segments are established through the bidding process provided for thereunder.

The sale of natural gas to the thermoelectric generation segment is regulated by former SE Resolution No. 95/2013, article 8, whose effectiveness was reestablished by Resolution No. 12/2019 issued by Ministry of Productive Development, under which CAMMESA has provisionally been assigned the role to acquire and supply fuel without cost to generators which do not have natural gas supply contracts currently in force.

Besides, sales to the industrial sector, as well as to the CNG sector (modified by Decree No. 892/2020 and SE Resolution No. 447/2020) are based on the free negotiation between producers or sellers and clients.

Decree No. 1,053/2018

Following the expiration of the Public Emergency Law of 2002 in December 2017, and a few months after the implementation of the transition scheme, which included the agreement on the basic conditions for the supply of the Distribution segment, the performance of the contracts executed under the mentioned agreement was affected by a sharp devaluation of the peso in 2018 and by the decision of distributors to pay a natural gas price based on the exchange rate implicit in the tariff scheme approved for the 2018 winter period (lower than the price established under the Framework Agreement and the individual contracts). This triggered a renegotiation process of individual agreements with prices in U.S. dollars, which resulted in a reduction in the price of natural gas applicable to the October-December 2018 term, with no agreement being reached regarding the exchange rate differences to be contemplated.

On November 16, 2018, Decree No. 1,053/2018 was published, whereby the Argentine Government decided to take over, with respect to distributors and producers who had adhered to the scheme, the payment of the accumulated daily differences on a monthly basis between the price of natural gas purchased by distributors and the price of natural gas included in the tariff schemes effective from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019, in 30 consecutive monthly installments beginning on October 1, 2019.

Besides, this Decree established that since April 1, 2019, contracts between natural gas producers and distributors shall provide that the higher cost due to exchange rate variations shall never be transferred to natural gas full-service users.

On October 25, 2019, YPF adhered to the regime established under such Decree, under which the Argentine Government has only paid the first installment, the remaining unpaid accrued as of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

On December 14, 2020, Law No 27,591 was published, approving the budget for fiscal year 2021, and overruling Decree No. 1,053/2018.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Company filed administrative claims with the Ministry of Finance requesting the payment of the second to the thirtieth installment under the regime plus interest, which have not yet been resolved.

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

35.c.2) Exports of natural gas and LNG

Natural gas

Under the Gas Law and its Regulatory Decree, natural gas exports shall be authorized by the PEN, to the extent domestic supply is not affected, and a natural gas export regime was established, which includes firm and interruptible authorizations. During the Public Emergency Period of 2002, Argentine authorities adopted several measures restricting natural gas exports from Argentina.

Besides, since 2016, the natural gas export regime was modified by numerous successive regulations whose final purpose was to safeguard domestic market supply restricting natural gas exports.

tic market supply should be secured. This Procedure was later overruled by SGE Resolution No. 417/2019.

At present, natural gas exports are subject to SE Resolution No. 774/2022, which specifies the terms and conditions of the Process to award Licenses for the Export of Natural Gas through pipelines. Such process contemplates the firm export preference right granted under the Plan GasAr 2020-2024 and Plan GasAr 2023-2028 (see Note 35.d.1)) to producers holding export licenses.

LNG

On July 27, 2021, SE Resolution No. 706/2021 was published, which created a registry of LNG operators and regulated export activities. In order to obtain an export permit, LNG exporters are required to register in the respective category and ensure they have offered the possibility to acquire such product to potential domestic market agents which might be interested.

The Resolution mentioned above also establishes that the enforcement authority may issue firm LNG export permits for a term of up to 20 years, having previously evaluated that the domestic supply of natural gas would not be affected considering the characteristics of the project and the possible impact on natural gas transportation capacity, at any stage of the production process. This permit may not be subsequently revoked or interrupted to ensure domestic market supply.

35.c.3) Regulatory requirements applicable to natural gas distribution

The Group participates in natural gas distribution through its subsidiary Metrogas.

The natural gas distribution system is regulated by the Gas Law, which together with its Regulatory Decree, other regulatory decrees, the Bidding Terms and Conditions (Pliego), the Distribution License and the Transfer Agreement lay down the

The Distribution License, the Transfer Agreement and the regulations issued under the Gas Law establish certain requirements regarding the quality of service, capital investments, restrictions for the transfer and encumbrance of assets, cross-ownership restrictions among producers, transporters and distributors of the natural gas, and the transfer of

Natural gas distribution tariffs were established in the Distribution License and are regulated by the ENARGAS.

Distribution License

The Distribution License authorizes Metrogas to provide the public distribution service of natural gas for a term of 35 years, renewable upon expiration, on December 28, 2027, for an additional term of 10 years pursuant to the Gas Law based on PEN regarding the substantial performance of all its obligations, and the performance of Metrogas in the preceding term.

Upon the expiration of the 35 or 45-year period, as appropriate, the Gas Law requires a new competitive bidding for such License, in which, if Metrogas has performed its obligations, it will have the option to equal the best bid submitted to the PEN by a third party.

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

Generally, upon the termination of a Distribution License for term expiration, Metrogas will be entitled to a consideration equal to the value of the designated assets or to the amount paid by the successful bidder in a new call for tenders, whichever is lower.

Metrogas has various obligations under the Gas Law, including the obligation to comply with all reasonable service requests within its service area, unless it were uneconomic for the provider, and to operate and maintain its facilities in a safe manner, which may require certain investments to replace or improve the facilities, as established in the Distribution License.

Besides, the Distribution License specifies other obligations of Metrogas, including the provision of a distribution service, maintaining an uninterruptible service, operating the system in a prudent manner, maintaining the distribution network, making the mandatory investments, keeping certain accounting records and providing certain regular reports to the ENARGAS.

The Distribution License may be revoked by the Argentine Government, upon recommendation of the ENARGAS, among other reasons, for serious and repeated failure by Metrogas to meet its obligations and/or total or partial interruptions (attributable to Metrogas) in the uninterruptible service outside the periods stipulated in the Distribution License; for the sale, disposal, transfer and encumbrance of Metrogas core assets (except for encumbrance used to finance extensions and improvements in the gas pipeline system) and in the event of bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of Metrogas.

Besides, the

Tariff schemes and tariff renegotiations

With the enactment of the Under Public Emergency Law of 2002, the legal framework in force applicable to license contracts of public utility companies was affected. This Law provided for the conversion into Pesos of tariffs established in convertible U.S. dollars at the exchange rate established under Convertibility Law No. 23,928, the prohibition to adjust for renegotiating the public service contracts awarded by the PEN (including Metrogas Distribution License). The expiration of the Public Emergency Law of 2002 was extended successively until December 31, 2017, together with the terms for renegotiation of licenses and public service concessions.

Under the renegotiation process, on March 30, 2017, Metrogas executed a Memorandum of Agreement with the former Memor the RTI, which included the introduction of non-automatic mechanisms for semi-annual adjustment of the distribution tariff between 5-year tariff reviews (considering variations in prices and service costs). The Integral Tariff Review, ratified by Decree No. 252/2018, comprises the contractual period from January 6, 2002 to the termination of the Distribution License.

Notwithstanding the variables contemplated for the RTIs and tariff adjustment established thereunder, in 2019 the Argentine Government implemented several measures which significantly modified the economic and financial equation provided for in the RTIs and in the mandatory investment plans submitted by distribution licensees, which caused a damage to Metrogas. Among the measures generating the most significant changes, thus causing lower revenues stand out, mainly for the deferral of the semi-annual tariff adjustment and higher costs related to the calculation of the UNG.

In consideration of the above, on October 11, 2019 Metrogas filed an administrative claim with the ENARGAS, requesting the review and adjustment of its mandatory investment plan as well as an economic compensation to restore the economic and financial balance, together with the reconsideration of certain regulatory measures. This claim was later updated due to the continuous impact of the Solidarity Law and the new measures adopted in 2020, which are described below.

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

On December 23, 2019, Solidarity Law was published in the BO, declaring a state of public emergency in terms of economic, financial, fiscal, administrative, social security, tariff, energy, health and social matters, and suspending the adjustment of tariff schemes for power and natural gas distribution and transportation under federal jurisdiction, until the effective date of the new provisional tariff schemes (Decree No. 1,020/2020). In addition, it delegated to the PEN the power to begin extraordinary reviews of current RTIs and authorized the PEN to administratively intervene the ENARGAS for a term of 1 year, which was formalized by Decree No. 278/2020. The 1-year term was then extended by Decree No. 1,020/2020 until December 31, 2021 or until completion of the RTI.

On December 17, 2020, Decree No. 1,020/2020 was published, ordering the commencement of the RTI for providers of power and natural gas public distribution and transportation services under federal jurisdiction, establishing a maximum negotiation term of 2 years, and providing for the elaboration of a RTT until completion of the RTI. On December 7, 2022, Decree No. 815/2022 was published in the BO, extending both the administrative intervention of the ENARGAS to January 1, 2024 or until completion of the RTI, and the RTI negotiation term to December 16, 2023.

On April 28, 2023, ENARGAS Resolution No. 190/2023 was published in the BO, approving the new transition tariff schemes to be applied by Metrogas to consumption from April 2023.

On December 18, 2023, Decree No. 55/2023 was published, ordering the start of the RTI (see Note 35.c.6)).

Procedure for the compensation of the lower revenues received by Distributors from their users for benefits and / or bonuses and for higher costs of unaccounted natural gas

MINEM Resolution No. 508-E/2017 established the procedure to compensate the lower revenues received by natural gas distribution licensees from users, as a result of the application of benefits to users under the regulations in force in terms of the social tariff and discounts for lower consumption, and the higher costs of UNG compared to those established for their recognition in tariffs, applicable from January 1, 2018. However, on December 7, 2018, the ENARGAS notified the SGE certain observations claiming that the SGE did not recognize the adjustment regarding UNG and determined that all amounts received from January 2018 to November 2018, which until such date were of a provisional nature, should be set off with the amounts owed by the SGE to Metrogas. Besides, the adjustments of actual values established under such procedure for the same period, and the excess in costs incurred from December 2018 to September 2019 were not recognized either.

This procedure complies with article 20.2 of the Standard License approved by Decree No. 2,255/1992, which provides that distributors have the right to compensation for the lower revenues caused by those measures in order to maintain the payment chain related to the operation and maintenance of the natural gas public distribution service through networks, including the payment of invoices for the purchase of natural gas and to ensure the continuity in the provision of the said public service.

On December 28, 2016, Metrogas received a Note from E compliance with deadline provided for in the Public Emergency Law of 2002 and in compliance with article 34 of the Gas Law. In this regard, it should be noted that YPF indirectly acquired a 70% interest in Metrogas in a transaction that was approved by ENARGAS Resolution No. I/2,566 dated April 19, 2013; and, following the merger with YPF Inversora Energética S.A. and Gas Argentino S.A. holds 70% of Metrogas shares.

On March 30, 2017, YPF filed an appeal for reconsideration requesting that the ENARGAS Note be revoked and a new decision be rendered setting a reasonable timeframe consistent with the current natural gas market situation, in order to comply with article 34 of the Gas Law.

On June 15, 2017, YPF submitted to the ENARGAS a tentative schedule for the process of adjusting its interest in Metrogas, which was extended in detail on July 3, 2017. Such presentation does not imply the waiver of the aforementioned appeal.

On April 5, 2018, ENARGAS rejected the reconsideration appeal filed by YPF on March 30, 2017 by ENARGAS Resolution No. 313/2018. On October 8, 2018, YPF filed an appeal for the SGE to decide on the issue. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the appeal has not yet been decided.

It also establishes the free import of LPG, regardless of the restrictions or other measures established by the PEN where the product is subject to subsidies in the country of origin, and the free export of LPG once the supply of the domestic demand is ensured.

Under the LPG Law, which provides for the creation of a trust fund to finance bottled LPG consumption for low income consumers having no access to the distribution of natural gas through networks, the Argentine Government launched several programs stimulating the supply of the domestic market (see Note 35.d.2)).

Through ENARGAS Resolutions No. 704/2023 and No. 52/2024, the treatment of the incidence of LPG freight and/or transportation costs was be considered with respect to locations supplied with undiluted propane/butane gas through networks (see Note 35.c.6)).

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

WEM

The WEM is composed of a term market, with contracts for quantities, prices and conditions freely agreed between sellers and buyers; a spot market where prices are established on an hourly basis according to the economic cost of production, represented by the short-term marginal cost as measured at the system load center (market node), and a quarterly stabilization system for spot market prices, intended for distributor purchases.

Price of electricity dispatch and spot market

In order to meet energy demand, CAMMESA prioritizes energy units with the lowest variable cost of production, progressively moving towards units with the highest variable costs of production, until the entire demand is covered. Thus, CAMMESA must define an optimum market price taking into account the typical hourly demand curves and the existing limitations of the system. This procedure must be used to project future SAID and WEM requirements. However, gaps seasonal prices and payments to generators for sales of energy at spot prices.

Since the enactment of the Public Emergency Law of 2002 and the emergency of the electricity sector through Decree No. 134/2015, a series of temporary provisions modified the original pricing system. Among the main regulations published, the resolutions related to the following stand out: management and dispatch of fuels, calls for tenders for the provision of additional thermal generation and associated electric power production capacity, subject to special remuneration mechanisms, formalizing commitments through contracts between generators and CAMMESA; calls for tenders to incorporate new efficient electric energy generation through the closing of open cycles and Co-Generation; and resolutions by the SE implementing new remuneration mechanisms for the generation sector of power energy.

On February 26, 2020, the SE through Resolution No. 31/2020 set the conversion to pesos of the remuneration of generation units not committed under contracts (set in U.S. dollars since former SEE Resolution No. 19/2017. Subsequently, the SE, through new Resolutions has been determining increases in the aforementioned remuneration regime. On October 30, 2023, through Resolution No. 869/2023 the SE determined an increase in said remuneration.

As regards the remuneration regime of authorized thermal generators, it was provided that their remuneration would be composed of a payment for the monthly available power, a payment for generated power and another for operated power, plus another payment for energy generated in hours of maximum thermal requirement.

Renewable energies

In recent years, Argentina issued regulations in order to regulate and incorporate renewable energies into the WEM and to promote their development through incentives in the form of tax benefits and preferential or subsidized tariffs. Thus, in 2006, Law No. 26,190 was enacted, which established a National Promotion Regime for the use of renewable energy sources, subsequently amended in 2015, by Law No. 27,191. These regulations, among other issues, set targets for the consumption of renewable energies for all electricity consumers, and specifically, for large users in terms of the minimum percentage of electricity from renewable energies they are required to consume, and establish tax benefits for eligible projects.

Among the main regulations aimed at encouraging the use of renewable energy, the following stand out:

  • Former MEyM Resolution No. 281large users to meet their consumption quotas of electric power from renewable sources through: (i) the joint in Spanish); or (iii) the development of a self-generation or co-generation project. As a general principle, the CAEs signed on the MATER (outside the joint purchase system) may be freely negotiated between the parties.

  • The RenovAr Program (Rounds 1, 1.5, 2 and 3) established under former MEyM Resolutions No. 136/2016, No. 252/2016, No. 275/2017, and former SGE Resolution No. 100/2018, which feature calls for bids for contracting electric power from renewable energies on the WEM, in compliance with their respective bidding terms and conditions.

The Plan GasAr 2020-2024, initially effective for a 4-year term, will be implemented through the execution of individual contracts between gas producers, distributors and sub-distributors (to satisfy the priority demand) and CAMMESA (to satisfy the thermoelectric generation demand). The Plan GasAr 2020-2024 provides that individual contracts shall be negotiated through an auction or bidding process for a total base volume of 70,000,000 m3/d for the 365 days of each calendar year of the plan term, ensuring demand aggregation mechanism allowing to meet natural gas requirements of the priority demand and power plants, plus exports in the non-winter period. Besides, it established that the Argentine Government may decide to undertake the monthly payment of the portion of natural gas prices at the PIST in order to mitigate the impact of the cost of natural gas to be transferred to users. Thus, the Argentine Government shall pay each producer a compensation equal to the difference between the price billed to distributors and/or sub-distributors and the seasonal price tendered, as appropriate.

Besides, participating producers shall undertake to reach a production curve per basin that ensures the maintenance and/or increase of current production levels, according to bids presented. If the curve is not achieved, reductions proportional to the tendered price may be applied, including the eventual removal of the producer from the Plan GasAr 2020-2024. Also, penalties may be imposed if the investment commitment undertaken or the commitment to increase Argentine value added (obligation imposed under the Plan GasAr 2020-2024 to producers) is not complied with.

On November 24, 2020 SE Resolution No. 317/2020 was published, calling a public tender for the effective award of the total base volume provided for under the Plan GasAr 2020-2024 and an additional volume for each of the winter periods from 2021 to 2024, included.

On December 16, 2020, SE Resolution No. 391/2020 was published (supplemented by SE Resolution No. 447/2020), which awarded the base natural gas volumes and approved natural gas prices at the PIST corresponding to the awarded volumes. Under this Resolution, the Company was awarded an annual natural gas supply of up to 7,628.5 Mm3 (20.9 Mm3/d, the total volume tendered in the auction, all corresponding to the Neuquina basin, in line with a committed production curve of about 30 Mm3/d). From the total committed volume, about 56% will be used to cover the demand of

On March 4, 2021, AFIP General Resolution No. 4,939/2021 was published in the BO, establishing a procedure to register, apply for and assign tax credit certificates under the securities system established in Annex to Decree No. 892/2020 with the purpose of supporting the payment of the compensation to be borne by the Argentine Government as defined in the said Annex.

On November 4, 2022, Decree No. 730/2022 was published in the BO, which approved the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 which authorizes the SE to implement a system for the supply of volumes, terms and maximum reference prices of natural gas at the PIST, applicable to supply contracts between suppliers and users, ensuring free price formation and price transparency under this Plan, in compliance with Law No. 24,076 and the volumes to be established by the SE in order to guarantee the optimal supply of the demand considering the transportation capacity.

In addition, the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 modifies the scheme for natural gas export licenses, establishing export quotas to be assigned to participating producers according to certain criteria, in compliance with the respective regulations. However, no export license holder may export in each seasonal period more than 30% of the total volume authorized to be exported or more than 50% of its delivery commitment under the Plan GasAr 2023-2028, whichever is lower, in compliance with the respective regulations.

35.d.2) Incentive programs for the domestic supply of LPG

With the purpose of ensuring the supply of LPG to the domestic market at affordable prices ensuring LPG availability to lowest income users who have no access to the supply of natural gas through networks, the Argentine Government has implemented the following programs of relevance to the Company:

Bottle-to Bottle Program

Concerning the bottled LPG segment, the LPG Law (see Note 35.c.4)) established the creation of a trust fund to finance the consumption of LPG in 10, 12, y 15-kg bottles for low income users having no access to natural gas distribution through networks, thereby granting the SE the power to establish benchmark prices.

In 2015, in the context mentioned above, the Bottle-to Bottle Program was created by Decree No. 470/2015, subsequenty regulated through SE Resolution No. 49/2015. The purpose fo this Program is to maintain price stability in the commercialization chain of butane and propane to be used in 10, 12 and 15 kg bottles and in certain supply areas. As provided for under Bottle-to Bottle Program regulations, at present the SE establishes, on an annual basis, the quotas of butane for the supply of the domestic market by producers, and the benchmark prices applicable on each ocassion to bottled LPG for residental use. Under the Bottle-to Bottle Program, producers would be paid a compensation, which was finally set at 0 from February 1, 2019 by SGE Resolution No. 15/2019.

Propane Network Agreement

In order to guarantee the stability of the conditions for the supply of undiluted propane through networks, on December 27, 2002, the MINEM entered into an agreement with LPG producers for the supply of propane gas for distribution networks of undiluted propane gas effective until April 30, 2003 and renewable for a maximum term of 1 year. Later, under Law No. 26,019 of 2005, Law No. 26,546 of 2009 and Decree No. 496/2023, the agreement was authorized to be extended until December 31, 2023. The 20th extension agreement of the Propane Network Agreement is still in force.

The agreement guarantees the supply of a given volume of gas to distributors and sub-distributors of propane gas through networks at a given price, against payment of an economic compensation to LPG producers for their lower revenues.

35.d.3) Investment Promotion Regime for the Exploitation of Hydrocarbons - Decree No. 929/2013
