INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON
REVIEW OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Shareholders, President and Directors of YPF SOCIEDAD ANONIMA
1. Identification of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements subject to review
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of YPF SOCIEDAD ANONIMA (the Company) and its controlled companies (the Group), which comprise the consolidated interim condensed statement of financial position as at September 2024, the interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the nine and three-months periods as at September 2024 and September 2023, changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months period as at September 2024 and September 2023, and other explanatory information included in the notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. Responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors for the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), and consequently, is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim condensed financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim financial reporting” (IAS 34). Additionally, the Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for such internal control as the Board determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatements.
3. Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standards for Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”.
A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

4. Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of YPF SOCIEDAD ANONIMA for the nine-month period ended September, 2024 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

The Company believes they include all necessary adjustments to reasonably present the results of each period on a basis consistent with the audited annual consolidated financial statements.

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

Actual future profit or loss might differ from the estimates and assessments made at the date of preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
The assumptions relating to the future and other key sources of uncertainty about the estimates made for the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used by the Group in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, which are disclosed in Note 2.c) to the annual consolidated financial statements.
2.d) Comparative information
Amounts and other information corresponding to the year ended December 31, 2023, are an integral part of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements and are intended to be read only in relation to these financial statements, considering the changes in comparative figures as mentioned in Note 6.

Consequently, the Group is subject to seasonal fluctuations in its sales volumes and prices, with higher sales of natural gas during the winter at higher prices.
4. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS
Dissolution of the company YPF International
On May 6, 2024, the Plurinational Service of Registry of Commerce (“SEPREC” by its acronym in Spanish) of Bolivia approved the dissolution and liquidation of YPF International.

The estimated fair value of loans, considering unadjusted listed prices (Level 1) for NO and interest rates offered to the Group (Level 3) for the remaining financial loans, amounted to 8,650 and 7,547 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The fair value of other receivables, trade receivables, investments in financial assets, cash and cash equivalents, other liabilities and accounts payable at amortized cost, do not differ significantly from their book value.

17. PROVISIONS (cont.)
Provisions are described in Note 16 to the annual consolidated financial statements. Updates for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 are described below:
17.a) Provision for lawsuits and contingencies
Environmental claims
• La Plata
On August 29, 2024 the Court of Appeals confirmed the obligation to cease and remedy the environmental damage determined in the first instance. The co-defendants filed an extraordinary appeal to the CSJN and, as of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, such appeal is pending resolution.
18. INCOME TAX
According to IAS 34, income tax expense is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the effective income tax rate expected as of the closing date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, considering the tax criteria that the Group assumes to apply during the fiscal year. If the estimate of such rate is modified based on new elements of judgment, the income tax expense could require adjustments in subsequent periods.
In relation to such tax criteria, the income tax expense contemplates the application of the integral inflation adjustment mechanism applicable to property, plant and equipment, and the indexation of the accumulated tax losses carryforward until the concurrence of the projected tax result of the fiscal year 2024, all considering that the assumption of confiscation would be verified in accordance with the jurisprudence of the CSJN in force as of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
The Group considers having strong arguments to successfully defend such assumed tax criteria, in the event of a possible controversy with the tax authorities, in accordance with the guidelines of IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over income tax treatments". As of September 30, 2024, the assumed tax criteria generates a profit of 416.
The income tax charge for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2024 is a profit of 987. The amount accrued for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:
| Current income tax Deferred income tax |
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, |
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, |

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s capital amounts to 3,922 and treasury shares amount to 11 represented by 393,312,793 book-entry shares of common stock and divided into four classes of shares (A, B, C and D), with a par value of 10 pesos and 1 vote per share. These shares are fully subscribed, paid-in and authorized for stock exchange listing.
As of September 30, 2024, there are 3,764 Class A outstanding shares. As long as any Class A share remains outstanding, the affirmative vote of the Argentine Government is required for: (i) mergers; (ii) acquisitions of more than 50% of YPF shares in an agreed or hostile bid; (iii) transfers of all the YPF’s production and exploration rights; (iv) the voluntary dissolution of YPF; (v) change of corporate and/or tax address outside Argentina; or (vi) make an acquisition that would result in the purchaser holding 15% or more of the Company’s capital stock, or 20% or more of the outstanding Class D shares. Items (iii) and (iv) also require prior approval by the Argentine Congress.
On April 26, 2024, the General Shareholders' Meeting was held, which approved the statutory financial statements of YPF (see Note 2.b)) corresponding to the year ended on December 31, 2023 and, additionally, approved the following in relation to the retained earnings: (i) completely disaffect the reserve for future dividends, the reserve for purchase of treasury shares and the reserve for investments; (ii) absorb accumulated losses in unappropriated retained earnings and losses up to the amount of 1,003,419 million of pesos (US$ 1,244 million); (iii) allocate the amount of 28,745 million of pesos (US$ 36 million) to constitute a reserve for purchase of treasury shares; and (iv) allocate the amount of 3,418,972 million of pesos (US$ 4,236 million) to constitute a reserve for investments.
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not repurchased any of its own shares.
32. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table shows the net profit or loss and the number of shares that have been used for the calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share:
| Net profit Weighted average number of shares outstanding Basic and diluted earnings per share |
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, |
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, |
|---|---|---|

2023 | |

There are no YPF financial instruments or other contracts outstanding that imply the existence of potential ordinary shares, thus the diluted earnings per share matches the basic earnings per share.
33. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
33.a) Contingent assets
The Group has no significant contingent assets.
33.b) Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities are described in Note 33.b) to the annual consolidated financial statements. Updates for the ninemonth period ended September 30, 2024, are described below:
Contentious claims
- Petersen Energía Inversora, S.A.U. and Petersen Energía, S.A.U. (collectively, “Petersen”) - Eton Park Capital Management, L.P., Eton Park Master Fund, LTD. and Eton Park Fund, L.P. (collectively, “Eton Park”, and together with Petersen, the “Plaintiffs”)
The appeals filed by the parties in these proceedings (see Note 33.b.2) to the annual consolidated financial statements) were fully briefed by September 6, 2024. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals will set a date for oral argument.

33. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (cont.)
Plaintiffs and the Republic completed their briefing on the turnover motion on July 8, 2024. The District Court may, but is not required to, hold oral argument prior to rendering a decision on the turnover motion. Furthermore, the District Court’s decision on the turnover motion may be appealed by Plaintiffs or the Republic in accordance with applicable procedural rules. YPF is not a party to the turnover motion.
Plaintiffs are also seeking discovery of documents from YPF related to their theory that YPF could be an “alter ego” of the Republic. YPF denies that it is an alter ego and objected to Plaintiffs’ document requests. On May 28, 2024, the District Court ordered YPF to produce documents in response to Plaintiffs’ discovery requests. To date, Plaintiffs have not requested that the District Court find that YPF is an alter ego of the Republic, and the District Court’s order on discovery is not a ruling accepting Plaintiffs’ alter ego theory.
On August 12, 2024, YPF filed a brief requesting that the District Court permanently enjoin Plaintiffs from pursuing recovery from YPF in connection with their September 15, 2023 final judgment against the Republic, arguing that Plaintiffs’ alter ego theory is barred under the doctrine of res judicata. Plaintiffs filed their opposition and YPF filed its reply. On August 29, 2024, the District Court adjourned the oral argument initially scheduled for September 3, 2024, without setting a new date.
YPF will continue to defend itself in accordance with the applicable legal procedures and available defenses.
The Company will continue to reassess the status of the litigation and its possible impact on the results and financial situation of the Group, as needed.

Interested parties have 2 years to adhere to the RIGI, submitting and obtaining the approval of an investment plan by the application authority.
The benefits of the RIGI include a 25% income tax rate, accelerated amortization of investments, non-expirable tax loss carryforwards, indexing tax losses by the Internal Wholesale Price Index ("IPIM") published by the INDEC, and exemptions from import and export duties, among others. In addition, foreign exchange incentives are established, such as the free availability of foreign currency on a staggered basis obtained from exports and certain flexibility related to financing.

36. BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (cont.)
In addition, the Company performed an external benchmark analysis of the Board of Directors’ fees and compensation of first-line executives. The conclusions were presented to the Compensation and Nomination Committee and, as a result, the components of the total compensation package were aligned with YPF’s strategic plan and market standards for local and international listed companies of similar magnitude.
As detailed in Note 37, a "Value Generation Plan" applicable to eligible members of YPF's Management and a variable compensation based on results ("CVR") which applies to 100% of the Company's employees, with the exception of the President and CEO and commercial agents, were implemented.
37. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND SIMILAR OBLIGATIONS
Note 37 to the annual consolidated financial statements describes the main characteristics and accounting treatment for employee benefit plans and similar obligations implemented by the Group.
Retirement plan
The amount charged to expense related to the Retirement Plan was 3 and 2 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Performance bonus programs
These programs cover certain of the Group’s personnel and are paid in cash. These bonuses are mainly based on compliance with VPs and related management objectives. They are calculated considering the annual compensation of each employee and certain key factors related to the fulfillment of these objectives. As of 2024, a new variable bonus program based on corporate results (“CVR”) was implemented. This will be paid based on the Group's net profit before income tax, if it is positive.
The amount charged to expense related to the performance bonus programs was 165 and 78 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Share-based benefit plans
In April 2024, the Company adopted the “Value Generation Plan”, which is a long-term remuneration program for eligible members of management of YPF with the objective of incentivizing extraordinary results in the long term and retaining key employees. Under this Plan, the Company granted 4.6 million performance stock appreciation rights (“PSARs”) to plan participants comprising key employees of the Company. The PSARs provide beneficiaries the opportunity to receive an award to be settled in cash equivalent to the appreciation in the value of the common shares of the Company over a specified period of time. The amount to be paid upon exercise is the difference between the per share base price determined by the plan and the per share market value of the Company’s common shares as of the exercise date. The PSARs expire five years after their grant and begin to vest in the third year, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including performance milestones related to the price of the Company’s common shares ranging from a minimum of US$ 30 per common share up to US$ 60 per common share. The beneficiaries of the PSARs are also required to remain in the Company for three years from the granting of the plan. The PSARs granted by the Company have a base price of US$ 16.17 per share, resulting in a weighted average fair value of US$ 8.75 per PSAR as of the granting date. The Value Generation Plan was approved by the Compensation and Nomination Committee of the Company with the support of a management consulting firm (Mercer) which advised on its design and implementation.
As of September 30, 2024, there are 4.6 million number of PSARs outstanding with and a weighted average fair value of US$ 9.89 per PSARs.
PSARs expense is determined based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. Fair value is calculated using Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s shares, expected term and risk-free interest rate.
The amount charged to expense in relation with Value generation Plan was 7, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.
The amount charged to expense in relation with the remainder of the share-based plans was 5 and 2 to be settled in equity instruments, and 8 and 13 to be settled in cash, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Note 2.b) describes the accounting policies for share-based benefit plans. Repurchases of treasury shares are disclosed in Note 31.
