Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) delivered significantly stronger results for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Sales revenues rose to 57,142 million US dollars from 42,110 million a year earlier, driven by higher domestic and export volumes and new fuel subsidy programs. Net income increased to 16,656 million, with basic and diluted earnings per share of 1.29 US dollars.

Operating performance translated into robust cash generation: net cash provided by operating activities reached 20,649 million, comfortably funding 9,072 million of PP&E and intangible additions and supporting dividend payments. Total assets grew to 247,077 million, equity to 93,083 million, while finance debt remained broadly stable at 25,834 million. Petrobras continues to carry sizable long‑term obligations, including a 29,694 million provision for decommissioning costs, 20,031 million in employee benefit liabilities and 3,429 million in provisions for legal proceedings, alongside disclosed uncertain tax treatments and contingent liabilities.

Strategically, Petrobras advanced its E&P portfolio by agreeing to acquire Petronas’s 50% interests in the Tartaruga Verde and Espadarte fields for 450 million and the Argonauta ring‑fence for 134 million plus a 150 million deferred payment, both subject to regulatory approvals. It also formed a 49.99% joint venture in Lightsource Brasil NewCo for onshore renewables and entered a new shareholders’ agreement that gives joint control of Braskem while retaining equity-method accounting.

Positive

  • Net income grew to 16,656 million US dollars in H1 2026 from 10,752 million a year earlier, reflecting materially improved profitability.
  • Operating cash flow reached 20,649 million US dollars in H1 2026, exceeding capital expenditures and supporting continued dividend distributions and balance sheet strength.

Negative

  • None.

Filing Explained

At June 30, 2026, Petrobras had export tax payable while consumption-tax rules remained materially uncertain.

Petrobras furnished a Form 6-K containing unaudited interim statements for June 30, 2026, authorized on August 6, 2026. The filing records an existing tax obligation of export tax payable, after recognizing US$1,087 million of related expense in the six-month period.

The export-tax measure applied a 12% rate to crude-oil exports and a 50% rate to diesel exports. Although the measure expired in July, the filing says the responsible authority maintained the tax for up to 60 days, with reassessment scheduled after 30 days.

The statements record no effect from the IBS and CBS consumption-tax reform as of June 30, 2026, but Petrobras says uncertainty remains over the rules. Feedback from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service and the IBS Management Committee is the stated resolution path.

Separately, the statements show US$3,429 million of provisions for legal proceedings and US$47,483 million of estimated contingent liabilities classified as possible losses. The filing treats these as different categories: provisions reflect probable, reliably estimable outflows, while the contingent-liability amount is not recorded as a provision.

Trade and other receivables are generally classified as measured at amortized cost, except for receivables with final prices linked to changes in commodity price after their transfer of control, which are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss, amounting to US$ 727 as of June 30, 2026 (US$ 402 as of December 31, 2025).

The balance of receivables from divestment and Transfer of Rights Agreement is mainly related to the earnout of the Sépia and Atapu fields, totaling US$ 299 (US$ 398 as of December 31, 2025), from the sale of interest in the Roncador field, totaling US$ 121 (US$ 266 as of December 31, 2025), the Potiguar cluster, totaling US$ 81 (US$ 157 as of December 31, 2025), and the Pampo and Enchova cluster, totaling US$ 85 (US$ 66 as of December 31, 2025).

The decrease in the balance of “Other receivables” is mainly related to the Tupi Shared Reservoir, as described in Note 18.4.

Forfaiting

The Company has a program to encourage the development of the oil and gas production chain called “Mais Valor” (More Value), operated by a partner company on a 100% digital platform.

By using this platform, the suppliers who want to anticipate their receivables may launch a reverse auction, in which the winner is the financial institution which offers the lowest discount rate. The financial institution becomes the creditor of invoices advanced by the supplier, and Petrobras pays the invoices on the same date and under the conditions originally agreed with the supplier.

Invoices are advanced in the “Mais Valor” program exclusively at the discretion of the suppliers and do not change the terms, prices and commercial conditions contracted by Petrobras with such suppliers, as well as it does not add financial charges to the Company, therefore, the classification is maintained as Trade payables in Statements of Cash Flows (Cash flows from operating activities).

As of June 30, 2026, the balance advanced by suppliers, within the scope of the program, is US$ 35 (US$ 133 as of December 31, 2025) and has a payment term from 6 to 92 days and a weighted average term of 45 days (payment term from 7 to 93 days and a weighted average term of 55 days in 2025), after the contracted commercial conditions have been met.

13.1.3.Uncertain tax treatments on income taxes

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has US$ 427 (US$ 614 as of December 31, 2025) of uncertain tax treatments, provisioned in the statement of financial position, related to the deduction of amounts paid in the basis of calculation of income taxes in Brazil. The decrease in this balance primarily reflects the settlement with the Dutch Tax Authority regarding the calculation of Corporate Income Tax (CIT) for the fiscal years 2018 to 2023, resulting from the tax valuation of platforms and equipment that were nationalized under the Repetro SPED tax regime.

In addition, the Company has US$ 5,450 of uncertain tax treatments (US$ 5,146 as of December 31, 2025), unprovisioned, in Brazil and abroad, on income taxes related to judicial and administrative proceedings, mainly relating to income of subsidiaries abroad.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has other positions that can be considered as uncertain tax treatments on income taxes amounting to US$ 5,733 (US$ 4,912 as of December 31, 2025), given the possibility of different interpretation by the tax authority. These uncertain tax treatments are supported by technical assessments and tax risk assessment methodology. Therefore, Petrobras believes that such positions are likely to be accepted by the tax authorities (including judicial courts).

Thus, as of June 30, 2026, the total amount of uncertain tax treatments amounts to US$ 11,610 (US$ 10,672 as of December 31, 2025), for which Petrobras will continue to defend its position.

13.3.Tax recovery program

In March and April 2026, Petrobras adhered to the Special Program for Installment Payment of Tax Credits (REFIS), instituted by the state of Rio de Janeiro through Complementary Law No. 225/2025, with the objective of settling tax contingencies related to ICMS. Following this adhesion, the Company recognized a US$ 118 expense in the statement of income, within other taxes, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026.

13.4.Export tax on crude oil and diesel

On March 12, 2026, Provisional Measure No. 1,340 was published, establishing the levy of Export Tax (IE) over crude oil, bituminous minerals and road-use diesel. The Provisional Measure expired in July 2026, but the Brazilian authority responsible for foreign trade policy maintained the tax in effect for up to 60 days, with reassessment scheduled after 30 days.

The tax is non-recoverable but deductible on the tax base of Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) and Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL). The tax is levied on crude oil exports at a 12% rate and on diesel oil exports at a 50% rate.

The term for payment of this tax shall be 15 days for road-use diesel and 60 days for crude oil, from the date of registration of the declaration for customs clearance.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, a US$ 1,087 expense was recognized within other taxes relating to this tax (US$ 965 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2026). As of June 30, 2026, there is US$ 579 remaining balance of export tax payable.

13.5.Tax reform

The regulations for the IBS (Tax on Goods and Services - Imposto sobre Bens e Serviços) and the CBS (Contribution on Goods and Services - Contribuição sobre Bens e Serviços), released on April 30,2026, did not introduce significant changes compared to the provisions set forth in Complementary Laws No. 214/2025 and No. 227/2026. The Company awaits feedback from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service and the IBS Management Committee regarding the suggestions to the regulations submitted by the Brazilian Petroleum Institute (IBP).

At the current stage of implementation and regulation of the Consumption Tax Reform, the Company believes that there is material uncertainty with respect to rules associated with the new taxes. Thus, there is no effect on these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2026, considering that:

·the elements necessary for the objective identification of IBS and CBS tax rates applicable to the Company's operations have not yet been published, including the reference rate and the standard rates by federative entity;
·ancillary obligations regarding, among others, the issuance of tax documents, credit utilization, reimbursement procedures, or adoption of specific regimes are not sufficiently detailed; and

Health Care Plan

The health care plan Saúde Petrobras – AMS is managed and run by Petrobras Health Association (Associação Petrobras de Saúde – APS), a nonprofit civil association, and includes prevention and health care programs. The plan offers assistance to all employees, retirees, pensioners and eligible family members, according to the rules of the plan, and is open to new employees.

Benefits are paid by the Company based on the costs incurred by the beneficiaries. The financial participation of the Company and the beneficiaries on the expenses are provided for in the plan rules and in the ACT, currently at 70% by the Company and 30% by the participants.

Pension plans

The Company’s post-retirement plans are managed by Petros Foundation, a nonprofit legal entity governed by private law with administrative and financial autonomy.

Pension plans in Brazil are regulated by the National Council for Supplementary Pension (Conselho Nacional de Previdência Complementar – CNPC), which establishes all guidelines and procedures to be adopted by the plans for their management and relationship with stakeholders.

Petros Foundation periodically carries out revisions of the plans and, when applicable, establishes measures aiming at maintaining the financial sustainability of the plans.

On March 24, 2026, the Deliberative Council of Petros Foundation approved the financial statements of the pension plans sponsored by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The net obligation with pension plans recorded by the Company is measured in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards requirements, which has a different measurement methodology to that applicable to pension funds in Brazil, which are regulated by the CNPC.

The following table presents the reconciliation of the deficit of Petros Plan registered by Petros Foundation as of December 31, 2025 with the net actuarial liability registered by the Company at the same date:

  PPSP-R (1) PPSP-NR (1)
Deficit registered by Petros 236 118
Ordinary and extraordinary future contributions - sponsor 4,273 1,259
Contributions related to the TFC - sponsor 786 567
Financial assumptions (interest rate and inflation), changes in fair value of plan assets and actuarial valuation method (2,049) (496)
Net actuarial liability recorded by the Company 3,247 1,448
(1) Includes the balance of PPSP-R pre-70 and PPSP-NR pre-70.

 

 

The main difference between these methodologies is that, in the CNPC criterion, Petros Foundation considers the future cash flows of normal and extraordinary sponsor’s contributions, discounted to present value, while the Company considers these cash flows as they are realized. In addition, Petros Foundation sets the real interest rate based on profitability expectations and on parameters set by the Superintendência Nacional de Previdência Complementar - PREVIC (National Supplementary Pension Authority), while the Company uses a rate that combines the maturity profile of the obligations with the yield curve of government bonds. Regarding the plan assets, Petros Foundation marks government bonds at market value or on the curve, while the Company marks all of them at market value.

14.2.1.Actuarial liabilities recognized in the statement of financial position, related to defined benefit plans

Net actuarial liabilities represent the obligations of the Company, net of the fair value of plan assets (when applicable), at present value.

15.Provisions for legal proceedings, judicial deposits and contingent liabilities
15.1.Provisions for legal proceedings

The Company recognizes provisions for legal, administrative and arbitral proceedings, based on the best estimate of the costs, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required and that can be reliably estimated. These proceedings mainly include:

·Tax claims including: (i) VAT tax collection on bunker oil involving several states; (ii) claims for alleged non-payment of social security contributions on allowances and bonuses; and (iii) claims relating to benefits previously taken for Brazilian federal tax credits applied that were subsequently alleged to be disallowable, including disallowance of PIS and COFINS tax credits.
·Labor claims, in particular: (i) several individual and collective labor claims; and (ii) legal actions from outsourced employees.
·Civil claims, in particular: (i) lawsuits related to contracts; (ii) legal and administrative proceedings involving fines applied by the ANP - Brazilian Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis), mainly relating to production measurement systems, as well as administrative and judicial proceedings that discuss the difference between special participation and royalties in several oil fields; (iii) lawsuits that discuss matters related to pension plans managed by Petros; and (iv) lawsuits that discuss compensation related to expropriation and right-of-way easements.
·Environmental claims, specially: (i) fines relating to an environmental accident in the State of Paraná in 2000; (ii) fines relating to the Company’s offshore operation; and (iii) public civil action for oil spill in 2004 in Serra do Mar State Park.

Provisions for legal proceedings are set out as follows:

Non-current liabilities 06.30.2026 12.31.2025
Labor claims 842 691
Tax claims 658 737
Civil claims 1,697 1,601
Environmental claims 232 221
Total 3,429 3,250

Revaluation of existing proceedings and interest charges 240 199
Others (8)
Translation adjustment 203 363
Closing Balance 3,429 2,890

 

 

In preparing its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the Company considered all available information concerning legal proceedings in which the Company is a defendant, in order to estimate the amounts of obligations and probability that outflows of resources will be required.

15.2.Judicial deposits

The Company makes deposits in judicial phases, mainly to suspend the chargeability of the tax debt and to maintain its tax compliance. Judicial deposits are set out in the table below according to the nature of the corresponding lawsuits:

Closing Balance 16,580 14,299

 

The Company maintains a Negotiated Legal Proceeding (NJP) agreement with the Brazilian National Treasury Attorney General's Office (PGFN), aiming to postpone judicial deposits related to federal tax lawsuits with values exceeding US$ 39 (R$ 200 million), which allows judicial discussion without the immediate disbursement.

To achieve this, the Company makes production capacity available as a guarantee from the Tupi, Sapinhoá, and Roncador fields. As the judicial deposits are made, the mentioned capacity is released for other processes that may be included in the NJP.

The Company’s management understands that the mentioned NJP provides greater cash predictability and ensures the maintenance of federal tax regularity. As of June 30,2026, the balance of production capacity held in guarantee in the NJP is US$ 1,533 (US$ 1,417 as of December 31, 2025).

15.3.Contingent liabilities

The estimates of contingent liabilities are indexed to inflation and updated by applicable interest rates. As of June 30, 2026, estimated contingent liabilities for which the possibility of loss is classified as possible are set out in the following table:

Nature 06.30.2026 12.31.2025
Tax 29,636 25,585
Labor 1,950 1,844
Civil 14,249 12,748
Environmental and others 1,648 1,394
Total 47,483 41,571

 

 

The main contingent liabilities are:

·Tax matters comprising: (i) collection of ICMS involving several states; (ii) disapproval of PIS and COFINS tax compensation due to credit disallowance; (iii) income from foreign subsidiaries and associates not included in the computation of taxable income (IRPJ and CSLL); (iv) incidence of social security contributions on the payment of bonuses; (v) collection of PIS and COFINS, resulting from the payment of taxes negotiated with the Brazilian Federal Government, excluding the payment of fines; and (vi) withholding income tax (IRRF) on remittances for payments of vessel charters.
·Labor matters, comprising several labor claims;
·Civil matters comprising mainly: (i) administrative and legal proceedings challenging an ANP order requiring Petrobras to pay additional special participation fees and royalties (production taxes) with respect to several oil fields, including unitization of deposits and reservoirs; (ii) lawsuits related to contracts; (iii) claims that discuss topics related to pension plans managed by Petros; (iv) fines from regulatory agencies, mainly ANP; and (v) judicial and arbitration proceedings that discuss disposal of assets carried out by Petrobras; and

15.4.Collective action and related proceedings

15.4.1.   Collective action in the Netherlands

On January 23, 2017, Stichting Petrobras Compensation Foundation ("Foundation") filed a class action in the Netherlands, at the District Court of Rotterdam, against Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras, Petrobras International Braspetro B.V. (PIB BV), Petrobras Global Finance B.V. (PGF), Petrobras Oil & Gas B.V. (PO&G) and some former Petrobras managers. The Foundation alleges that it represents the interests of an unidentified group of investors and asserts that, based on the facts revealed by the Lava-Jato Operation, the defendants acted illegally before the investors.

On May 26, 2021, the District Court of Rotterdam decided that the class action should proceed and that the arbitration clause of Petrobras' bylaws does not prevent the Company's shareholders from having access to the Dutch Judiciary and have their interests represented by the “Foundation”. However, the interests of investors who have already started arbitration against Petrobras or who are parties to legal proceedings in which the applicability of the arbitration clause has been definitively recognized are excluded from the scope of the action.

On October 30, 2024, after the parties' comments on the technical evidence, the District Court of Rotterdam issued a ruling, in which it broadly accepted Petrobras' arguments regarding the requests presented in favor of the Company's shareholders and considered that: i) in accordance with Brazilian legislation, all damages alleged by the Foundation qualify as indirect and are not subject to compensation; and ii) according to Argentine law, shareholders cannot, in principle, request compensation from the Company for damages alleged by the Foundation, and the Foundation has not demonstrated that it represents a sufficient number of investors who could, in theory, present such a request.

Therefore, the District Court of Rotterdam rejected the Foundation's allegations in accordance with Brazilian and Argentine law, which resulted in the rejection of all requests made in favor of shareholders. With respect to certain bondholders, the Court considered that Petrobras and PGF acted illegally under Luxembourg law, while PGF acted illegally under Dutch law.

Furthermore, the District Court of Rotterdam confirmed the following issues of the decision released to the market on July 26, 2023: (i) rejection of the allegations against PIBBV, POG BV and the former CEOs of Petrobras from July 2005 to February 2015; and (ii) prescription of requests formulated in accordance with Spanish legislation.

Petrobras, the Foundation and PGF have appealed against the ruling and previous interim decisions.

On June 30, 2026, the Court of Appeal of The Hague dismissed the appeal filed by the Foundation specifically regarding PIBBV and PGF. This decision does not affect the appeals filed by PGF and Petrobras, nor the Foundation’s remaining appeal against Petrobras, all of which remain pending judgment.

In relation to bondholders, the Foundation cannot claim compensation under the class action, which will depend not only on a final result favorable to the interests of the investors in the class action, but also on the filing of subsequent actions by or on behalf of the investors by the Foundation itself, an opportunity in which Petrobras and PGF will be able to offer all the defenses already presented in the class action and others that it deems appropriate, including in relation to the occurrence and quantification of any damages that must be proven by the potential beneficiaries of the decision or by the Foundation. Any compensation for the alleged damages will only be determined by court decisions in subsequent actions.

This class action involves complex issues and the outcome is subject to substantial uncertainties, which depend on factors such as: the scope of the arbitration clause of the Petrobras Bylaws, the jurisdiction of the Dutch court, the scope of the agreement that ended the Class Action in the United States, the Foundation's legitimacy to represent the interests of investors, the several laws applicable to the case, the information obtained from the production phase of evidence, the expert analyses, the timetable to be defined by the Hague Court of Appeal and the judicial decisions on key issues of the process, possible appeals, including before the Dutch Supreme Court, as well as the fact that the Foundation seeks only a declaratory decision in this class action.

The Company, based on the assessments of its advisors, considers that there are not enough indicative elements to qualify the universe of potential beneficiaries of a possible final decision unfavorable to Petrobras' interests, nor to quantify the supposedly compensable damages.

PETROBRAS

(Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

 
 

Thus, it is currently not possible to predict whether the Company will be liable for the effective payment of damages in any future individual claims, as this analysis will depend on the outcome of these complex procedures. In addition, it is not possible to know which investors will be able to bring subsequent individual actions related to this matter against Petrobras.

Furthermore, the claims formulated are broad, cover a multi-year period and involve a wide variety of activities and, in the current scenario, the impacts of such claims are highly uncertain. The uncertainties inherent in all of these issues affect the duration of final resolution of this action. As a result, Petrobras is unable to estimate an eventual loss resulting from this action. However, Petrobras continues to reject the Foundation's allegations, in relation to which it was considered a victim by all Brazilian authorities, including the Supreme Federal Court.

Petrobras and its subsidiaries reject the allegations made by the Foundation and will continue to defend themselves.

15.4.2.   Arbitration and other legal proceedings in Argentina

In relation to the arbitration in Argentina, the Argentine Supreme Court denied the appeal, but the Consumidores Damnificados Asociación Civil para su Defensa (formerly Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil, "Association") filed a new appeal to the Argentine Supreme Court, which was also denied, thus the arbitration was sent to the Arbitration Court. This arbitration discusses Petrobras' liability for an alleged loss of market value of Petrobras' shares in Argentina, as a result of the so-called Lava Jato Operation. The Company does not have elements that allow it to provide a reliable estimate of the potential loss in this arbitration.

In parallel to such arbitration, the Association also initiated a collective action before the Civil and Commercial Court of Buenos Aires, in Argentina, with Petrobras appearing spontaneously on April 10, 2023, within the scope of which it alleges Petrobras' responsibility for an alleged loss of the market value of Petrobras' securities in Argentina, as a result of allegations made within the scope of Lava Jato Operation and their impact on the Company's financial statements prior to 2015. Petrobras presented its defense on August 30, 2023. Petrobras denies the allegations presented by the Association and will defend itself against the accusations made by the author of the class action. The Company does not have elements that allow it to provide a reliable estimate of the potential loss in this arbitration.

Regarding criminal proceeding in Argentina related to an alleged fraudulent offer of securities, aggravated by the fact that Petrobras allegedly declared false data in its financial statements prior to 2015, on September 3, 2025, the lower court recognized the statute of limitations on the criminal action and ordered its dismissal. The judgment dismissing the criminal action followed the Court of Appeals' decision on April 3, 2025, which overturned the previous decision to prosecute Petrobras and the previously ordered injunction. On March 2, 2026, the second instance of the Argentine Court rejected the Association's appeal against the dismissal of the criminal case and, on April 23, 2026, ruled that the appeal for cassation filed by the Association was inadmissible, which then filed a new appeal to the higher court.

15.4.3.   Arbitrations proposed by non-controlling shareholders in Brazil

There were no relevant changes in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026.

Berbigão and Sururu shared reservoirs

On April 30, 2026, ANP approved the AIP for the Berbigão and Sururu shared reservoirs, in the Santos Basin, effective as of May 1, 2026. The agreement covers the BM-S-11A concession agreement, operated by Petrobras (42.5%), in partnership with Shell (25%), TotalEnergies (22.5%), and Petrogal (10%), and the transfer of rights agreement, operated by Petrobras (100%).

As a result of this individualization process, the financial settlement of costs incurred and revenues relating to volumes produced until the effective date of the AIP is subject to negotiation among the partner companies.

18.5.Capitalization rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization

The capitalization rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization was the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings that were outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the capitalization rate was 7.43% p.a. (7.17% p.a. for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025).

The Company annually tests its assets for impairment or when there is an indication that their carrying amount may not be recoverable, or that there may be a reversal of impairment losses recognized in previous years.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, net impairment reversals were recognized in the amount of US$ 250, mainly arising from the Nitrogen Fertilizer Unit (UFN-III), located in Três Lagoas/MS whose approval for project resumption resulted in an estimate of positive future cash generation for the asset, with an increase in its recoverable value, in the amount of US$ 405. This impairment reversal was partially compensated by a US$ 227 impairment loss arising from the postponement of production resumption of platform P-52, in the Roncador field, located in the Campos Basin, from September 2026 to March 2027.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, net impairment losses were recognized in the amount of US$ 445, mainly due to: (i) the economic unfeasibility of blocks C-M-753 e C-M-789, located in the Santos basin, which resulted in the recognition of a US$ 208 loss; (ii) the contract amendment for the lease of FPSO Cidade de Santos (Uruguá CGU), due to the need to extend the contractual term through the end of 2026 for the decommissioning of this asset, which resulted in the recognition of a US$ 83 impairment loss; and (iii) additional financial compensation for the Cherne Cluster, due to the accident on platform PCH-1, which occurred in the second quarter of 2025, which resulted in the recognition of a US$ 57 impairment loss.

21.Exploration and evaluation of oil and gas reserves

26.4.Distributions to shareholders

Dividends relating to 2025

On April 16, 2026, the Annual General Shareholders Meeting approved dividends relating to 2025, amounting to US$ 7,507 (US$ 0.5814 per outstanding share). This amount includes US$ 6,040 anticipated during 2025 (updated by Selic interest rate from the date of each payment to December 31, 2025) and US$ 1,467 of complementary dividends which are accounted for as additional dividends proposed.

These complementary dividends were reclassified from equity to liabilities on the date of approval at the Annual General Shareholders Meeting and were paid in 2 installments in May and June 2026, in the form of interest on capital, updated by the Selic interest rate from December 31, 2025 to the date of each payment.

This payment of interest on capital resulted in a deductible expense which reduced the income tax expense by US$ 545. Interest on capital is subject to withholding income tax (IRRF), except for immune and exempt shareholders, as established in applicable law. The tax benefit related to the complementary dividends was recognized in the second quarter of 2026.

On November 27, 2025, law No. 15,270/2025 was published, establishing the withholding income tax at a 10% rate on dividends distributed to individuals domiciled in Brazil, when such dividends exceed R$ 50 thousand per month. The 10% rate also applies to dividends distributed abroad to individuals or legal entities, regardless of the amount, except in specific situations provided for by law.  In addition, supplementary law No. 224/2025 increased the withholding income tax rate applicable to interest on capital from 15% to 17.5%. Both laws are effective as of January 1, 2026.

Interest on capital relating to the first quarter of 2026

On May 11, 2026, Petrobras’s Board of Directors approved the distribution of remuneration to shareholders in the amount of US$ 1,845 or R$ 9,034 million (US$ 0.1431 per outstanding common and preferred shares, or R$ 0.7010), based on the net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, considering the application of the Shareholder Remuneration Policy formula, as presented in the following table:

 

Date of approval

by the Board of Directors

Date of record Amount per common and preferred share Amount
Interest on capital - 1st quarter of 2026 05.11.2026 06.01.2026 0.1431 1,845
Total anticipated remuneration to the shareholders of Petrobras     0.1431 1,845

 

This interest on capital will be paid in two equal installments, on August 20 and September 21, 2026, and will be offset against shareholder renumeration relating to 2026. The amounts will be adjusted by the SELIC rate from the date of payment of each installment until the end of this fiscal year.

This anticipation of interest on capital generated a tax-deductible expense resulting in a reduction of income tax expense by US$ 617. Interest on capital is subject to withholding income tax (IRRF) of 15%, except for immune and exempt shareholders, as established in applicable law.

27.Financial risk management

The Company is exposed to a variety of risks arising from its operations, such as price risk (related to crude oil and oil products prices), foreign exchange rates risk, interest rates risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Corporate risk management is part of the Company’s commitment to act ethically and comply with the legal and regulatory requirements of the countries where it operates.

The Company presents a sensitivity analysis for the period of one year, except for operations with commodity derivatives, for which a three-month period is applied, due to the short-term nature of these transactions.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a US$ 39 gain, within foreign exchange rate gains (losses), due to ineffectiveness (a US$ 130 gain in the same period of 2025).

The average ratio of future exports for which cash flow hedge accounting was designated to highly probable future exports is 71.45%.

A roll-forward schedule of cumulative foreign exchange rate losses recognized in equity to be realized by future exports is set out below:

  Jan-Jun/2026 Jan-Jun/2025
Opening balance (20,974) (30,845)
Recognized in equity 4,375 8,304
Reclassified to the statement of income 704 1,220
Other comprehensive income (loss) 5,079 9,524
Closing balance (15,895) (21,321)

 

 

Additional hedging relationships may be revoked or additional reclassification adjustments from equity to the statement of income may occur as a result of changes in forecasted export prices and export volumes following future revisions of the Company’s business plans. A sensitivity analysis considering a US$ 10/barrel decrease in Brent prices stress scenario, when compared to the Brent price projections in the Business Plan 2026-2030, would not indicate a reclassification from equity to the statement of income.

A schedule of expected reclassification of cumulative foreign exchange rate losses recognized in other comprehensive income to the statement of income as of June 30, 2026, is set out below:

  2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 onwards Total
Expected realization (4,384) (8,861) (5,008) (4,251) 683 5,926 (15,895)

 

 

b)Derivative financial instruments not designated for hedge accounting

In 2019, Petrobras contracted a cross-currency swap aiming to protect against exposure arising from the 7th issuance of debentures, for IPCA x CDI operations, maturing in September 2029 and September 2034, and for CDI x U.S. Dollar operations, maturing in September 2029.

The methodology used to calculate the fair value of this swap operation consists of calculating the future value of the operations, using rates agreed in each contract and the projections of the interest rate curves, IPCA coupon and foreign exchange coupon, discounting to present value using the risk-free rate. Curves are obtained from Bloomberg based on forward contracts traded in stock exchanges.

The mark-to-market is adjusted to the credit risk of the financial institutions, which is not relevant in terms of financial volume, since the Company makes contracts with highly rated banks.

Changes in interest rate forward curves (CDI interest rate) may affect the Company's results, due to the market value of these swap contracts. In preparing a sensitivity analysis for these curves, a parallel shock was estimated based on the average maturity of these swap contracts, in the scope of the Company’s Risk Management Policy, which resulted in a 568 basis point effect on the estimated interest rate. The effect of this sensitivity analysis, keeping all other variables constant, is shown in the following table:

c)Sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange rate risk on financial instruments

The sensitivity analysis only covers the exchange rate variation and maintains all other variables constant. The probable scenario is referenced on external sources like Focus bulletin and Thomson Reuters, making use of the exchange rate forecast for the end of the following year, as follows:

·U.S. dollar x real - a 0.65% depreciation of the real;
·euro x U.S. dollar - a 3.35 % appreciation of the euro;
·pound sterling x U.S. dollar - a 1.07 % appreciation of the pound sterling;
·renminbi x U.S. dollar – a 2.05 % appreciation of the renminbi.

The reasonably possible scenario has the same references and considers the risk of a 20% depreciation of the closing exchange rate of the quarter against the reference currency, except for assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, when transacted in a currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies.

27.3.2.Risk management of products prices - crude oil and oil products and other commodities

The Company is exposed to commodity price cycles, and it may use derivative instruments to hedge exposures related to prices of products purchased and sold to fulfill operational needs and in specific circumstances depending on business environment analysis and assessment of whether the targets of the Business Plan are being met.

The Company, by use of its assets, positions and market knowledge from its operations in Brazil and abroad, may seek to optimize some of its commercial operations in the international market, with the use of commodity derivatives to manage price risk.

The probable scenario uses market references, used in pricing models for oil, oil products and natural gas markets, and takes into account the closing price of the asset on June 30, 2026. Therefore, no effect is considered arising from outstanding operations in this scenario. The reasonably possible scenario reflects the potential effects on the statement of income from outstanding transactions, considering a variation in the closing price of 20%. To simulate the most unfavorable scenarios, the variation was applied to each asset according to open transactions: price decrease for long positions and increase for short positions.

27.3.3.Interest rate risk management

The Company prefers not to use derivative financial instruments to manage the risk of interest rate fluctuations, adopting structural actions that take into account the effects on integrated risk exposure.

In this sensitivity analysis, probable scenario represents the amounts to be disbursed by Petrobras relating to the payment of interest on debts linked to floating rates as of June 30, 2026. The reasonably possible scenario represents the disbursement if there is a 40% change on these rates, keeping all other variables constant.

27.4.Liquidity risk management

The possibility of a shortage of cash to settle the Company’s obligations on the agreed dates is managed by the Company. The Company mitigates its liquidity risk by defining reference parameters for treasury management and by periodically analyzing the risks associated to the projected cash flow, quantifying its main risks through Monte Carlo simulations. These risks include oil prices, exchange rates, gasoline and diesel international prices, among others. In this way, the Company is able to predict cash needs for its operational continuity and for the execution of its business plan.

Management believes that its current working capital is sufficient for the Company's present requirements. In the event that the Company presents negative net working capital, management believes it does not compromise the Company's liquidity since Petrobras maintains revolving credit facilities contracted as a liquidity reserve to be used in adverse scenarios (see note 24.5).

Additionally, the Company regularly assesses market conditions and may enter into transactions to repurchase its own securities or those of its subsidiaries, through a variety of means, including tender offers, make whole exercises and open market repurchases, since they are in line with the Company's liability management strategy, in order to improve its debt repayment profile and cost of debt.

27.5.Credit risk

Credit risk management in Petrobras aims to mitigate risk of not collecting receivables, financial deposits or collateral from third parties or financial institutions through the analysis, granting and management of credit, based on quantitative and qualitative parameters that are appropriate for each market segment in which the Company operates.

As of June 30, 2026, the financial assets of cash and cash equivalents and of financial investments are not past due nor considered to be credit impaired, presenting fair values ​​that are equivalent to or do not differ significantly from their carrying amounts.

The effect of credit risk assessments on trade receivables is available in notes 9.2 and 9.3, which present expected credit losses.

28.Related party transactions

28.1.1.Fuel trading subsidy program

Given the geopolitical situation in the Middle East and its impact on international oil and oil products prices, as of March 2026, the Brazilian Federal Government granted economic subsidies to the trade of road-use diesel, LPG, and gasoline in Brazil, equalizing a portion of the costs of producers and importers, aimed at contributing to stabilize prices and supply of oil products.

Petrobras adhered to these programs, whereby authorized amounts and conditions for receiving subsidies are defined within specific legal and regulatory framework for each product and period.

Subsidy revenue is recognized when the eligible oil products are sold and delivered to customers. The following table presents subsidy revenue by fuel recognized in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, including their legal instruments:

Fuel Provisional Measure (1) Effectiveness Description Subsidy gross revenues Sales charges Subsidy net revenues

(1) Complemented by the related decrees and ordinances.

 

 

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized subsidy revenue of U$$ 2,227, net of Pis and Cofins. As of June 30, 2026, the balance of this subsidy was US$ 2,021.

In July 2026, the Company received additional US$ 844 relating to this program. The receipt of the remaining balance is awaiting documentation analysis by ANP.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, expenses related to compensation of the board members and executive officers of Petrobras amounted to US$ 7.3 (US$ 6.5 for the same period of 2025).

The compensation of the Advisory Committees to the Board of Directors is separate from the fixed compensation set for the Board Members and, therefore, has not been classified under compensation of Petrobras’ key management personnel.

In accordance with Brazilian regulations applicable to companies controlled by the Brazilian Federal Government, Board members who are also members of the Statutory Audit Committees are only compensated with respect to their Audit Committee duties. The total compensation concerning these members was US$ 132 thousand for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 (US$ 156 thousand with tax and social security costs). For the same period of 2025, the total compensation concerning these members was US$ 115 thousand (US$ 136 thousand with tax and social security costs).

On April 16, 2026, the Company’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting set the threshold for the overall compensation for executive officers and board members at US$ 11, R$ 57.22 million, from April 2026 to March 2027 (US$ 8.3, R$ 47.57 million, from April 2025 to March 2026, as approved on April 25, 2024).

Results of Review of Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2026, the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the related condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements). Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated April 8, 2026, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.

 

Basis for Review Results

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of condensed consolidated interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
