Rhea-AI Filing Summary

YPF S.A. reports a sharp swing to a net loss of $799 million in 2025, after a net profit of $2,393 million in 2024. Revenue declined to $18,448 million from $19,293 million, while gross profit slipped to $5,100 million from $5,383 million.

Operating profit improved to $1,740 million from $1,480 million as exploration expenses and impairment charges fell, but this was more than offset by a heavy income tax charge of $1,709 million, versus a prior tax benefit of $1,373 million, and net financial losses of $952 million.

Basic and diluted earnings per share moved to a loss of $2.11 from earnings of $5.99. Cash flows from operating activities remained strong at $4,959 million, supporting significant capital expenditure of $5,077 million and business combination outflows of $767 million. Total assets reached $29,439 million, with shareholders’ equity at $11,044 million.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Net income deterioration: YPF moved from a net profit of $2,393 million in 2024 to a net loss of $799 million in 2025, driven by a large income tax expense and net financial losses despite higher operating profit.

Insights

YPF shows solid cash generation but posts a tax-driven net loss.

YPF generated operating profit of $1,740 million in 2025, up from $1,480 million, helped by lower exploration and impairment charges, despite revenue easing to $18,448 million. Underlying operations, including Upstream, Midstream, Downstream and new energy activities, remained broadly profitable at the operating level.

The bottom line turned to a net loss of $799 million mainly because income tax expense jumped to $1,709 million from a prior $1,373 million tax benefit, alongside net financial losses of $952 million. These non-operating items offset positive equity income from associates and joint ventures of $122 million.

Cash flows from operating activities were strong at $4,959 million, funding heavy investment of $5,077 million in property, plant, equipment and intangibles plus $767 million for business combinations. Total loans increased, with non-current loans at $8,226 million, so future performance will depend on maintaining cash generation to support this investment and debt profile.

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, 2025 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 of each year.

2.b) Material accounting policies

2.b.1) Basis of preparation and presentation

Functional currency

YPF’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar, which has been determined pursuant to the guidelines set out in IAS 21 “The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates”.

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 such date and the exchange differences arising from such translation are recognized in the “Net financial results” line item in the statement of comprehensive income for the period in which they arise; and (ii) non-monetary 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.

The effects of translating the results and financial position of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures with functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are recorded in the “Other comprehensive income” line item in the statement of comprehensive income for the period in which they arise.

In the event of total or partial disposal of a subsidiary (resulting in loss of control), an associate or a joint venture whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, the translation differences accumulated in the “Other comprehensive income” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity are reclassified to profit or loss for the period. In the event of partial disposal of a subsidiary not resulting in loss of control, the proportionate share of the accumulated translation differences is reclassified to the “non-controlling interest” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.

Presentation currency

The information included in these consolidated financial statements is presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Company’s 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 February 26, 2026.

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

 

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

Under IAS 29 “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies”, the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy have to be restated in terms of the measuring unit current (“inflation-adjusted currency”) at the end of the reporting period.

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; and Law No. 27,468 published in the BO on December 4, 2018, established that annual, for interim and special periods financial statements 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 exchange rate at the closing date of their financial statements. The effect of restatement of comparative figures, which are presented as amounts in inflation-adjusted currency in the financial statements of the previous fiscal year, and which are not adjusted to reflect subsequent variations in general levels of prices or exchange rates are recognized in the “Result from net monetary position in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures” line under the “Other comprehensive income” line item in the statement of 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 liabilities, according to the activities’ operating cycle.

Current assets and liabilities include assets and liabilities that are realized or settled in the 12-month period following the end of the reporting 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, except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 2.b.7)).

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025, 2024 AND 2023

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

 

2.

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

 

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 issuance date of the most recent financial statements of certain companies of the Group may differ from the issuance 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 Y-TEC (51%), Metrogas (70%) and OPESSA (99.99%) (see Note 1). The Company concluded that there are no significant non-controlling interests requiring the disclosure of additional information, as set out in IFRS 12 “Disclosure of interests in other entities”.

Joint operations

Interests in JO and other agreements 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 in accordance with IFRS 11, and are presented in the statement of financial position and in the statement of comprehensive income, depending on their specific nature. The main JO and other agreements are described in Note 30.

Business combinations

The Group analyzes whether the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a purchase transaction qualify as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3 “Business combinations”. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method, which requires, among others, the recognition and measurement at fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest. The excess of the consideration transferred over such fair value is recognized as goodwill and the shortfall as a gain in profit or loss for the period.

In a business combination achieved in stages, the carrying amount of the previous interest in the acquiree is measured at fair value at the acquisition date, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in profit or loss for the period. Likewise, the translation differences accumulated in the “Other comprehensive income” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity recognized by the previous interest in the acquiree are reclassified to profit or loss for the period.

When the assets acquired are not a business, the Group accounts for the transaction as the acquisition of an asset.

2.b.2) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognized at cost. After initial recognition, the asset is carried at its cost less amortization and any impairment loss, in accordance with the cost model under IAS 38 “Intangible assets”.

The estimated useful life and the amortization method of each class of intangible 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, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

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 conditions established in IFRIC 12 “Service concession arrangements” as intangible assets (see Note 35.a.1)). These assets are amortized using the straight-line method throughout the term of said concessions.

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

 

2.

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

 

Hydrocarbon transportation concessions that do not meet the conditions established in IFRIC 12, mainly those concessions granted after Decree No. 115/2019, are classified in the “Property, plant and equipment” line item in the statement of financial position (see Note 35.a.1)).

Exploration rights and hydrocarbon resources

Exploration rights and hydrocarbon resources include all the activities required for the search for hydrocarbons, costs associated with the acquisition of exploration permits (see Note 35.a.1)) and acquired unproven hydrocarbon resources.

The Group classifies exploration rights and hydrocarbon resources as intangible assets in compliance with IFRS 6 “Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources”. These assets are not amortized as they are related to investments in fields in evaluation stage.

Exploration costs (geological and geophysical expenses, maintenance costs and other costs relating to the exploration activity), excluding exploratory drilling costs that are capitalized in the “Exploratory drilling in progress” account of the “Property, plant and equipment” line item in the statement of financial position (see Note 2.b.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 reclassified to the “Mining property, wells and related equipment” account of the “Property, plant and equipment” line item 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 software 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

Property, plant and equipment are initially recognized at cost. 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. After initial recognition, the asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses, in accordance with the cost model under IAS 16 “Property, plant and equipment”.

For assets requiring long-term construction to bring them to the conditions required for their use, borrowing costs related to third-party financing are capitalized until the asset is ready to be used, in accordance with the Group’s average 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.

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

 

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 “Mining property, wells and related equipment” account of the “Property, plant and equipment” line item in the statement of financial position. Costs associated with exploration permits are classified as “Exploration rights and hydrocarbon resources” of the “Intangible assets” line item in the statement of financial position.

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 “Exploratory drilling in progress” account of the “Property, plant and equipment” line item in the statement of financial 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. As of December 31, 2025, the Group has no significant exploratory well costs under evaluation for a period longer than 1 year.

Drilling costs of development wells and dry development wells, and installation costs associated with the development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized in the “Mining property, wells and related equipment” account of the “Property, plant and equipment” line item in the statement of financial position.

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 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 gas reserves.

Depreciations are adjusted based on changes in the estimates of proved oil and gas reserves after the date of disclosure of such changes. The Group revises the estimates of oil and gas reserves at least once a year, see Note 2.c) “Oil and gas reserves” section.

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:

 

     Years of

   10

Selling equipment

   10

Other property

   10

Land is classified separately from buildings or facilities that may be located on it, and as it is deemed to have an indefinite useful life, it is not subject to depreciation.

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 recognized pursuant to the guidelines set out in IFRIC 1 “Changes in existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities”, which indicates that changes in liabilities will be added to or deducted from the cost of the asset corresponding 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 16 “Leases”. The definition of lease is mainly related to the concept of control. In accordance with IFRS 16, the Group distinguishes between lease contracts and service contracts on the basis of whether an identified asset is under the customer’s control, which exists if the customer has the right to: (i) obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset, and ii) direct the use of the asset.

Lease liabilities are measured as the aggregate amount of future lease payments discounted at the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate (“discount 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 so-called “in-substance” fixed payments, applying, 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 of asset 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 Group’s 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.

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 CGU’s assets pro rata to their carrying amounts, which are taken into 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.

In compliance with IFRS 6, the recoverability of exploration rights and hydrocarbon resources recognized in the “Intangible assets” line item in the statement of financial position not assigned to a CGU is assessed separately when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of those assets may exceed their recoverable amount and/or prior to their reclassification to the “Mining property, wells and related equipment” account of the “Property, plant and equipment” line item in the statement of financial position. See Note 2.b.2).

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 an 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.

The assessment of particular circumstances and the variables used in cash flow projections for calculating value in use requires the use of estimates, see Note 2.c).

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

 

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

Associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. According to this method, the investment is initially recognized at cost in the “Investments in associates and joint ventures” line item in the statement of financial position, and its carrying amount increases or decreases to recognize the investor’s interest in the profit or loss of the associate or joint venture after the acquisition date, which is reflected in the “Income from equity interests in associates and joint ventures” line item in the statement of comprehensive income. Additionally, its carrying amount increases or decreases 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 when the parties have rights over the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the joint arrangement, see Note 2.b.1) “Joint operations” section.

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 most recent 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) “Consolidation policies” section.

Interest in companies with negative equity are presented under the “Other liabilities” line item in the statement of financial position.

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. In the event of recognition of impairment in value or recovery of an impairment loss recognized in previous periods, it is recognized in the “Income from equity interests in associates and joint ventures” line item in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.b.7) Financial instruments

The Group’s classification of financial assets is determined by the business model for the management of such assets and the characteristics of contractual cash flows.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the following conditions are met: (i) the objective of the Group’s business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows; and (ii) 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. Profit or loss arising from derecognition, modifications, reclassifications at fair value through profit or loss, impairment in value, or from applying the effective interest rate are recognized in the “Net financial results” line item in 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 from the sale of these assets are recognized in the “Net financial results” line item in the statement of comprehensive 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.

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

 

2.

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

 

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 recognized in the “Net financial results” line item in the statement of comprehensive income, except for interest 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 or loss in the “Provision for doubtful receivables” account in operating profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income, and applying the simplified approach allowed under IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” for receivables.

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.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when they have extinguished, i.e. when the obligation has been paid or canceled, 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 account overdrafts, which are presented as loans.

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

 

2.b.10) Shareholder’s equity

The “Capital” and “Treasury shares” accounts in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity are made up of shares of common stock held at nominal value. The difference between the subscribed amount of capital increases and the nominal value of issued shares is presented in the “Issuance premiums” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.

When the Company buys its own shares to comply with equity-settled share-based benefit plans, the cost incurred is presented in the “Acquisition cost of treasury shares” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The amount accrued from share-based benefit plans is presented in the “Share-based benefit plans” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The difference between such cost incurred and the amount accrued from share-based benefit plans is presented in the “Share trading premium” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. See Note 2.b.11).

2.b.11) Share-based benefit plans

The Group maintains share-based benefit plans with the characteristics mentioned in Note 37. Such plans are recorded in accordance with the guidelines set out in IFRS 2 “Share-based payments”.

 

  -

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions are recognized as a straight-line expense over the period of service based on the Group’s estimate of the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest considering their fair value at the grant date, with an offsetting credit entry in the “Share-based benefit plans” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. At the end of each period, the Group reviews its estimate according to the number of equity instruments it expects will vest based on the grant conditions specified under the respective share-based benefit plan.

 

  -

Cash-settled share-based payment transactions are recognized as a straight-line expense over the period of service based on the Group’s estimate of the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest with an offsetting entry in the “Salaries and social security” line item in the statement of financial position, measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized in net income in the statement of comprehensive income. At the end of each period, the Group reviews its estimate according to the number of equity instruments it expects will vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if applicable, is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.b.12) Revenues

Revenues from contracts with customers

Under IFRS 15 “Revenues from contracts with customers”, the Group identifies the main contracts with customers 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.

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

 

2.

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

 

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 as the services are effectively provided and in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreements. 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 project 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 as described in Note 25.

Income from National Government incentive programs

Under IAS 20 “Accounting for government grants and disclosure of government assistance”, grants awarded by the National Government are recognized at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and that the conditions attached to the grant will be complied with.

Income from National Government grants are disclosed in the “National Government incentives” line under the “Revenues” line item in the statement of comprehensive income.

In accordance with the requirements set out in IAS 20, the nature and characteristics of National Government grants are described in Notes 35.f) and 36.

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

Non-current assets (or disposal group) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale or disposal transaction rather than through continued use. This condition is considered fulfilled only when the sale or disposal transaction is highly probable and the non-current asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its current condition. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the statement of financial position.

As provided for in IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations”, for the sale transaction to be highly probable the appropriate level of the Company´s Management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group) and an active program to find a buyer and complete such plan must have been actively initiated. Further, the asset (or disposal group) must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its fair value less costs to sell. In addition, the sale transaction should also be expected to meet the conditions to be recognized as a completed sale within 1 year from the date of classification, with the exceptions permitted by IFRS 5, and the activities required to complete the sale plan should indicate that significant changes to the sale plan are unlikely to be made or that it will be canceled.

An extension of the period required to complete a sale does not prevent an asset (or disposal group) from being classified as held for sale, if the delay is caused by events or circumstances beyond the entity’s control and there is sufficient evidence that the entity remains committed to its plan to sell the asset (or disposal group).

2.

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

 

Non-current assets (or disposal group) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the 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 IAS 36 “Impairment of assets”. The Group recognizes an impairment loss of the asset (or disposal group) up to fair value less costs to sell. The Group recognizes a gain for any subsequent increase arising from the measurement of fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any accumulated impairment loss previously recognized. A gain or loss not previously recognized on the date of sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognized at the date of derecognition.

The Group does not depreciate or amortize non-current assets (or disposal group) while classified as held for sale. However, interest and other expenses attributable to liabilities associated with non-current assets (or disposal group) classified as held for sale continue to be recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

The Group considers that an impairment loss indicator exists under IAS 36 when a non-current asset (or disposal group) meets all the requirements of IFRS 5 to be classified as held for sale prior to the approval of the issuance of the financial statements (but not at the end of the reporting period), 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 “Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors”, 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, 2025 and which have been adopted by the Group, if applicable

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 fiscal years 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.

The adoption of the aforementioned amendments has not had effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB whose application is not mandatory at the closing date of these consolidated financial statements and 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 early adoption 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.

IFRS 18 “Presentation and disclosure in financial statements”

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1, with the objective of providing better information on the financial performance of entities, improving their comparability, which is applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

IFRS 18 introduces the following information requirements that can be distinguished into 2 main groups:

 

  -

To group income and expenses into 3 defined categories: (i) operating; (ii) financing; and (iii) investing, and include certain defined subtotals, such as the operating result and the result before financing and income tax, with the aim of improving the comparability of the statement of comprehensive income.

 

  -

In the event of including performance measures defined by management, the entity must disclose the reason why said measures are useful to users of financial statements, their method of calculation, a reconciliation between to the most directly comparable subtotal from the statement of comprehensive income, among others.

Additionally, IFRS 18 establishes more detailed guidance on how to organize information within the financial statements and whether it should be provided in the primary financial statements or in the notes, with the aim of improving the grouping of information in the financial statements.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Group is in the process of evaluating the effects of the application of IFRS 18, which it anticipates will be significant with respect to disclosures and changes of presentation in the financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 related to certain issues regarding the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 and the disclosure requirements of IFRS 7, which are applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026:

 

  -

Introduce an accounting policy option for the derecognition of a financial liability when settlement is made through an electronic payment system and certain conditions are met.

 

  -

Clarify on certain assessments that an entity must perform on its financial assets, for example to determine whether a financial instrument contains contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, or whether it also contains covenants of a contingent nature that could significantly change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows.

 

  -

Establish amendments to an entity’s disclosures about investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and the requirement to disclose contractual terms that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows in certain circumstances.

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 9 and IFRS 7 - Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity

In December 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 related to nature-dependent electricity contracts, which are applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026:

 

  -

Clarify the application of the “own-use” requirements: The amendments allow an entity to apply the “own-use” exemption in such contracts, usually long-term contracts, if the entity has been, and expects to be, a net-purchaser of electricity for the contract period. The “own-use” exemption relieves an entity from measuring such contracts at fair value through profit or loss.

 

  -

Permit hedge accounting if these contracts are used as hedge instruments: Contracts that do not meet the “own-use” exemption are accounted for as derivatives and measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

  -

Add new disclosure requirements that allow investors to understand the effect of these contracts on the entity’s financial performance and cash flows.

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 IAS 21 - Translation to a hyperinflationary presentation currency

In November 2025, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 related to the methodology to be applied by entities in the translation of financial statements when the functional currency is different from the presentation currency, which are applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027. These amendments aim to establish clearer and more uniform treatments.

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

 

Among other issues, the amendments introduce accounting treatment for a situation that was not previously provided for. Thus, when an entity has a non-hyperinflationary functional currency but must translate its financial statements into a hyperinflationary presentation currency, it must do so at the closing exchange rate at the end of the most recent fiscal year, i.e., both the current year’s information and the comparative information are translated at the closing exchange rate at the end of the current fiscal year. In cases where the presentation currency ceases to be hyperinflationary, the entity applies prospectively the methodology already provided for in IAS 21.

Additionally, an exception is included when an entity whose functional and presentation currency corresponds to a hyperinflationary economy has foreign operations whose functional currency is not hyperinflationary. In these cases, the comparative amounts for these operations are not translated at the current year’s exchange rate, but are restated using the general price index applied to the comparative figures for the previous period, in accordance with IAS 29.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Group is in the process of evaluating the effects of the application of 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 or loss might differ from the estimates and assessments made at the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

The assumptions relating to the future and other key sources of uncertainty about the estimates made for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are described below:

Oil and gas reserves

The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex and is an integral part of the Group’s decision-making process. It requires significant judgments and estimates based on available oil and gas reserves that are estimated using geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data, which implies a degree of uncertainty and depends on certain factors, assumptions and variables used in such estimation, some of which are beyond the control of the Group. The expected economically recoverable oil and gas reserves and resources have been estimated by qualified internal professionals based on accepted practices in the oil and gas industry.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions related to proved oil and gas reserves in accordance with the rules and regulations set out in Rule 4-10 (a) of Regulation S-X of the SEC for the oil and gas industry, which are used for the calculation of depreciations. These proved oil and gas reserves have been estimated by qualified internal professionals and audited by DeGolyer and MacNaughton Corp. (“DeGolyer and MacNaughton”). See Note 2.b.3) “Depreciation methods and useful lives” section.

In addition, as of December 31, 2025, the Group makes reserves and resources estimates within the framework of the Petroleum Resources Management System (“PRMS”). These estimates are consistent with the Company’s management plans with focus on activities and investments in unconventional fields, which considers that one of the drivers on which the YPF’s strategy is based. DeGolyer and MacNaughton, an independent international oil and gas consulting firm, has evaluated YPF’s estimated economically recoverable oil and gas reserves and resources under PRMS, and the results of this assessment do not differ significantly from YPF’s estimates. Such estimates incorporate several factors and assumptions including, but no limited to, expected reservoir performance based on geological, geophysical, and engineering assessments; future production volumes based on historical performance and expected future operating and investment activities; oil and gas future prices and quality differentials; and future development and operating costs.

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

 

2.

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

 

The Company’s Management believes these factors and assumptions are reasonable based on the information available at the time of preparing our estimates. However, these estimates may change substantially as additional data from ongoing development activities and production performance becomes available and as economic conditions impacting oil and gas prices and costs change.

This estimated volume of oil and gas reserves and resources, which is directly associated with projects, investments and business plans, is used to assess the recoverability of Upstream assets and reflects the reserves and resources that the Group currently intends to develop based on the YPF management’s best estimates of future production volumes .See Note 2.c) “Provision for Impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets” section.

Provisions

The Group’s legal or assumed obligations are recognized, measured and disclosed in compliance with IAS 37 “Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets”. Provisions include both obligations whose occurrence do not depend on future events (as the provision for environmental liabilities and the provision for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations), as well as obligations whose fulfillment depend on the occurrence of a future event that is beyond the Group’s control (as the provision for lawsuits and contingencies).

Except for the provision for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations and the provision for environmental liabilities 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 liabilities, 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 Company believes that the Group’s operations substantially comply with 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 described 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.

2.

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

 

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 considered, 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.

The application of tax laws in Argentina requires interpretation and, consequently, involves the application of judgement and is open to challenge by the relevant tax authorities, creating uncertainty. Uncertainty about income tax treatments is established in accordance with IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty regarding income tax treatments” based on an assessment of the range of likely tax outcomes and reflecting the strength of technical arguments. In this regard, an assessment is made as to whether it is appropriate to consider the uncertain tax treatment separately or in conjunction with other uncertain tax treatments that may exist based on the approach that best predicts the resolution of the uncertainty and then assesses whether it is probable that the relevant tax authority will accept the tax treatment or succeed in the ultimate applicable legal instance. Otherwise, if the Group concludes it is not probable that the authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment it reflects the effect of the uncertainty by recording the uncertain tax treatment on the basis of the most likely amount or expected value method, depending on which method the Group expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. In making this assessment, the Group utilizes tax knowledge and expertise from qualified internal professionals and takes into consideration tax advice from external advisors.

Deferred tax assets recognize tax loss carryforwards to the extent their offsetting through future taxable income is probable. In assessing the recognition of deferred tax assets, the Group considers the anticipated reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projections of future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable income depend on the Group’s estimates of future cash flows. To the extent future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from the estimates, the Group’s capacity to realize the recorded net deferred tax assets might be affected.

Also, changes in tax regulations and/or their interpretations may affect such estimates. See Note 18.

Provision for impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets

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).

Measuring the recoverable amount of an asset involves the Group’s estimates on uncertain issues, such as inflation and 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 flow projections. The Group’s estimates are subject to changes as new information becomes available.

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

 

As regards measurement of CGUs that group assets of fields with oil and gas reserves, cash flow projections are used covering the economically productive life of the fields, limited in most cases by the termination of exploitation concessions, agreements or investment contracts. Cash flow projections are determined using the Group’s best estimate of oil and 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. The estimates of reserves and resources used in cash flow projections for the calculation of value in use reflect the reserves and resources that the Group expects to develop. In addition, the estimated future cash flow projections include a portion of unproved reserves and resources based on the specific risks of the CGUs. The recoverable amount of CGUs that group assets of fields with oil and gas reserves is determined using a combination of inputs including proved reserves, a certain volume of unproved reserves, a certain volume of contingent resources, and production volumes. See Note 2.c) “Oil and gas reserves” section.

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 each group of assets. Likewise, cash flow projections until the end of an asset’s useful life are estimated by extrapolating 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.

2.d) Comparative Information

Amounts and other financial information corresponding to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 presented in these financial statements for comparison purposes arise from the consolidated financial statements ended December 31, 2024. Likewise, changes have been made to the comparative figures in Notes 5 and 25 as mentioned in Note 5.

Additionally, the Group has changed the presentation of exchange differences generated by deferred tax classifying these items as deferred tax expense (income) in accordance with IAS 12 “Income taxes”. Previously, these exchange differences were presented in the “Other exchange differences, net” line item under “Other financial results” in the statement of comprehensive income and, from this fiscal year, they are presented in the “Income tax” line item in the statement of comprehensive income. The purpose of this change is to provide more useful information and improve the comparability of the Group’s financial statements with its peers. The comparative information has been restated by reclassifying a gain of 161 and 1,401 from “Other financial results” line item to “Income tax” line item in the statement of comprehensive income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively. This change had no effect on the Group’s statements of financial position, statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, cash flows, operating profit or loss and net profit or loss.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

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.

The following provides a description of the principal risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s strategy, performance, results of operations and financial condition. The risks facing the businesses, set out below, do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.

The sensitivity analysis of market risks included below are based on a change in one factor while holding all other factors constant. In practice this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the factors may be correlated, for example, changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency rates.

Sensitivity analyses provide only a limited, point-in-time view. The actual impact on the Group’s financial instruments may differ significantly from the impact shown in the sensitivity analysis.

 

 

Market risk management

The market risk to which the Group is exposed is the possibility that the valuation of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities as well as certain expected cash flows may be affected by changes in exchange rates, interest rates or certain other price variables.

The following is a description of these risks as well as a detail of the extent to which the Group is exposed and a sensitivity analysis of possible changes in each of the relevant market variables.

Exchange rate risk

The value of financial assets and liabilities denominated in a currency different from the Company’s functional currency is 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).

The following table provides a breakdown of the effect that a variation of 10% in the exchange rates corresponding to the peso against the U.S. dollar would have on the Group’s net income, mainly considering the exposure of financial assets and liabilities, excluding non-monetary items and financial instruments denominated in the functional currency of YPF and its subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2025:

 

         Appreciation (+) / depreciation   
(-) of exchange rate
          Profit (loss)        

Impact on profit or loss before income tax

     +10     90  
     -10     (90

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the exchange rate of the pesos against the U.S. dollars showed a 41% variation.

Likewise, based on the requirements for access to the Foreign Exchange Market established by BCRA, the Group maintains an active strategy in the management of liquidity, using several financial instruments and derivatives, if considered appropriate (see Note 35.j)).

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 costs 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, if considered appropriate, using derivative financial instruments.

(2)

Includes balances for loans and other liabilities which accrue interest. Does not include accounts payable, which mostly do not accrue interest, nor the leases liabilities.

(3)

Includes principal and interest.

Balances for financial liabilities at variable interest rate represent 5% of the total as of December 31, 2025, and mainly include exports pre-financing, imports financing and financial loans with local and international entities. The principal at variable interest rate are mainly subject to the fluctuations in SOFR plus a spread between 0.9% and 6.8%.

In relation to variable interest rate financial assets, they include trade receivables, which have a low exposure to interest rate risk.

The table below shows the estimated impact on net income that an increase or decrease of 100 basis points (“b.p.”) in the variable interest rates would have as of December 31, 2025:

Price risk

The Group is exposed to its own price risk for investments in financial instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 6). The Group continuously monitors the evolution of the prices in these investments for significant fluctuations. As of December 31, 2025, the Group does not have material derivative financial instruments to hedge the risks associated with commodity price fluctuations as well as the price risk inherent to investments in financial assets, although it could use such instruments in the future if considered appropriate.

As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss amounts to 668.

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, 2025:

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)

 

The Group’s pricing policy regarding the sale of fuels contemplates several factors such as international and local crude 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, 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 price changes), and which may therefore lead the Group to not be able to maintain such relationship, if volatility and uncertainty in international crude oil and their by-products prices and exchange rate fluctuations continue into the future. In 2025, crude 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 long-term obligations. The Group intends to align the maturity profile of its financial debt to be related to its ability to generate enough cash flows to finance the projected expenditures for each year. As of December 31, 2025, the availability of liquidity reached 933, considering cash of 198 and other liquid financial assets of 735 included in the “Cash and cash equivalents” line item in the statement of financial position (see Note 16). Additionally, the Group has other investments freely available for 262 included in the “Investments in financial assets” line item in the statement of financial position (see Note 15).

As of December 31, 2025, working capital amounts to (966) generated mainly by the financing of investment plans, which is monitored continuously by the Group. Uncommitted bank credit lines together with local and international capital markets constitute an important source of funding to meet committed obligations. Currently, YPF has the capacity to issue debt under the Frequent Issuer Regime.

Based on the requirements for access to the Foreign Exchange Market established by BCRA to maturities of principal amounts of offshore debts and the issuance of debt securities denominated in foreign currency scheduled until December 31, 2025, all the provisions issued were fulfilled by the Group. See Note 35.j).

(1)

Includes undiscounted contractual cash flows given that they do not differ significantly from their nominal values.

Most of the Group’s loans contain market-standard covenants for contracts of this nature, which include financial covenants mainly related to restrictions on incurring additional debt associated with the leverage ratio and the debt interest coverage ratio, restrictions on dividend payments, and events of defaults triggered by materially adverse judgements (see Notes 17 and 33), among others.

Under the terms of the financial 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, 2025, the Group is in compliance with its covenants.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)

 

 

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 temporary 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 receivables is charged to net income in the statement of comprehensive income, based on specific information regarding its clients.

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

The maximum exposure to credit risk of the Group of December 31, 2025 based on the type of its financial instruments and without excluding the amounts covered by several types of guarantees is set forth below:

 

         Maximum exposure      

Cash and cash equivalents

     933  

Investments in financial assets

     262  

Other financial assets

     2,964  

Considering the maximum exposure to the credit risk and based on the concentration of the counterparties, credit and investments with the National Government, direct agencies and companies with government participation, accounts for 560 and represents 13% of total, while the Group’s remaining debtors are diversified.

The following is the breakdown of the financial assets past due as of December 31, 2025:

 

        Current trade receivable            Other current receivables     

Less than three months past due

     231        19  

Between three and six months past due

     22        -  

More than six months past due

     5        2  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
     258        21  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2025, the provision for doubtful trade receivables amounts to 81 and the provision for other doubtful receivables amounts to 39. These provisions represent the Group’s best estimate of the credit losses incurred in relation with accounts receivables.

Guarantee policy

As collateral of the credit limits granted to customers, the Group receives several types of guarantees from its customers. In the gas stations and distributors segment, where generally long-term relationships with customers are established, mortgages prevail. For foreign customers, joint and several bonds from their parent companies prevail. In the industrial and transport segment, bank guarantees prevail. To a lesser extent, the Group has also obtained other guarantees such as credit insurances and guarantee customer-supplier, among others.

The Group has effective guarantees granted by third parties for 984, 1,013 and 945 as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Group did not execute material guarantees.

BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The different business segments in which the Group’s organization is structured consider the different activities from which the Group can obtain revenues and incur expenses. Such organizational structure is based on the way in which the chief decision maker analyzes the main operating and financial magnitudes for making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment, also considering the business strategy of the Group.

Business segment information is presented consistently with the manner of reporting the information used by the chief decision maker to allocate resources and assess business segment performance.

As of the current fiscal year, as a consequence of the organizational structure changes in which the New Energies Vice Presidency was created and the Gas and Power Vice Presidency and the Downstream Vice Presidency were reformulated as the LNG and Integrated Gas Vice Presidency and the Midstream and Downstream Vice Presidency, respectively, the full management scope of these new business units was determined. On January 1, 2025, these organizational changes resulted in a modification of the composition of the business segments according to how the chief decision maker allocates resources and assesses the performance of these business segments, creating the New Energies business segment and readjusting the composition and definition of the businesses of the remaining business segments. Accordingly, the comparative information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 has been restated.

The business segments structure is organized as follows:

 

 

Upstream

It performs all activities related to the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbon fields and production of crude oil and natural gas.

Its revenues are mainly derived from: (i) the sale of the produced crude oil to third parties and to the Midstream and Downstream business segment; (ii) the sale of the produced natural gas to third parties and to the LNG and Integrated Gas business segment; and (iii) the sale of the natural gas retained in plant to the Midstream and Downstream business segment.

It incurs all costs related to the aforementioned activities.

 

 

Midstream and Downstream

It performs activities related to: (i) the refining, transportation and commercialization of refined products; (ii) the production, transportation and commercialization of petrochemical products; (iii) the transportation and commercialization of crude oil; and (iv) the commercialization of specialties for the agribusiness industry and of grains and their by-products.

On January 1, 2025, as a consequence of the organizational changes described above, the assets related to the natural gas transportation, the conditioning and processing of natural gas retained in plant for the separation and fractionation of gasoline, propane and butane, the storage of the produced natural gas, and the commercial and technical operation of the LNG regasification terminal in Escobar, which were formerly included in the Gas and Power business segment, were assigned to this business segment.

Its revenues are mainly derived from the sale of crude oil, refined and petrochemical products, and specialties for agribusiness industry and grains and their by-products, through the businesses of Retail, Commercial Networks, Industries, Transportation, Aviation, Agro, Lubricants and Specialties, LPG, Chemicals, International Trade and Transportation and Sales to Companies. In addition, it obtains revenues from midstream oil, midstream gas and natural gas storage operations and the provision of LNG regasification services.

It incurs all costs related to the aforementioned activities, including the purchase of: (i) crude oil from the Upstream business segment and third parties; (ii) natural gas to be consumed in the refinery and petrochemical industrial complexes from the LNG and Integrated Gas business segment; and (iii) natural gas retained in plant from the Upstream business segment.

Fair value measurement

IFRS 13 “Fair value measurement” defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a financial liability settled, between knowledgeable, independent parties in an arm’s length transaction. 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 “Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost” section below). 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 reporting 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. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used without adjustment to measure fair value whenever available.

 

  (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.

 

  (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 available. The inputs reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors, which market players would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the best available information, including internal data.

The Group has no financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Fair value estimates

The Group’s policy is to acknowledge transfers among the several categories of valuation hierarchies when occurred, or when there are changes in the prevailing circumstances requiring such transfer. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, there were no transfers between the different hierarchies used to determine the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments.

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

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 loans, amounted to 10,696, 8,811 and 7,547 as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The fair value of other receivables, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other liabilities and accounts payable at amortized cost, do not differ significantly from their carrying amount.

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 prices 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 and Northwest basins. See Note 35.f.1).

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (cont.)

 

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 effect), 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 of our production. The discount rate after income tax used as of September 30, 2023 was 14.89%. In addition, as of December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of the net assets of the CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin amounted to 2,400 and approximated its recoverable amount.

On February 29, 2024 (see Note 11.a)) YPF’s Board of Directors resolved the disposal of certain groups of assets related to the Upstream business segment, mainly mature fields related to the CGU Oil, CGU Gas - Austral Basin and CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin and analyzed fair value less cost of disposal to be less than their carrying amount. The Company considered 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 amount 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), the recoverable amount 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 technique 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.

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 revenues, future net revenues, present value and considering a ten-year extension of the termination of certain concessions expiring in the near term. Future net revenues were calculated by deducting from future gross revenues royalties paid in cash, operating expenses, capital expenditures and hydrocarbon wells abandonment costs, production taxes, and income tax. Operating expenses include fields operating expenses, transportation and processing expenses, and an allocation of overhead that directly relates to production activities. Capital expenditures include drilling and completion costs, facilities costs, and 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 of hydrocarbon wells. The recoverable amount was defined as future net revenues discounted at a discount rate after income tax, which as of December 31, 2023 was 15%.

As of December 31, 2024, the Group recognized an impairment charge of property, plant and equipment for the CGU Gas - Northwest Basin of 58 (37 net of income tax effect), generated by a combination of variables, but mainly due to production costs increases. The discount rate after income tax used as of December 31, 2024 was 14.80%, and the recoverable amount after income tax as of such date of the CGU Gas - Northwest Basin was 28. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of the net assets of the CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin amounted to 2,769 and approximated its recoverable amount.

On January 31, 2025, YPF sold its 100% interest in YPF Brasil.

As of December 31, 2023, the Group did not classify assets as held for sale.

11.a) Optimization plan of the conventional Upstream portfolio

11.a.1) Description of the Plan

On February 29, 2024, YPF’s Board of Directors resolved the disposal of certain groups of assets related to the Upstream business segment, mainly mature fields related to the CGU Oil, CGU Gas - Austral Basin and CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin. This disposal of assets related to mature fields, named “Mature Fields Project”, is consistent with the Company’s management plans, which considers that the rationalization of the conventional Upstream portfolio is one of the drivers on which the YPF’s strategy is based, with focus on activities and investments in unconventional fields.

During 2024 and 2025 YPF signed different assignment agreements for 15 groups of assets (46 areas), subject to the fulfillment of agreed closing conditions, including applicable regulatory and provincial approvals. The remaining groups of assets are in negotiations with third parties for their disposal or reversion.

As part of the optimization plan of the conventional Upstream portfolio, on December 11, 2025, YPF’s Board of Directors resolved the disposal of new groups of assets related to 3 areas in the Provinces of Mendoza and Chubut. During January and February 2026 YPF signed assignment agreements for these assets, subject to the fulfillment of agreed closing conditions, including applicable regulatory and provincial approvals.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025, 2024 AND 2023

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

11.  ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND ASSOCIATED LIABILITIES (cont.)

 

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, as mentioned above, the Company has signed assignment agreements for certain groups of assets that are subject to closing conditions mainly related to regulatory and provincial approvals, for which the Company is taking the necessary steps to close; and it is highly probable that these assets will be disposed. In addition, the Company maintains groups of assets as held for sale for which agreements have not yet been signed but continuous in negotiations with third parties for their disposal or reversal. The delay in the fulfillment of the plan for the disposal of mature fields is due to the complexity of the negotiations, which is beyond the Company’s control. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Company considers that the disposal of such assets continues to be highly probable during 2026.

The assignment and/or reversion that have met the agreed closing conditions as of December 31, 2025, and therefore the transaction was settled are described below:

 

 

Escalante - El Trébol

On October 29, 2024, Decree No. 1,509/2024 was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Chubut, which authorized the assignment of 100% of YPF’s rights and obligations in the “Escalante - El Trébol” exploitation concession in favor of PECOM Servicios Energía S.A.U. (“PECOM”), being the granting of the extension of such concession subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions by YPF and by PECOM.

On November 15, 2024, after the fulfillment of the closing conditions by YPF and PECOM, the transfer of 100% of the rights and obligations of YPF in such exploitation concession in favor of PECOM was formalized.

 

 

Llancanelo and Llancanelo R

On November 28, 2024, Resolution No. 335/2024 was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Mendoza, which authorized the transfer of 100% of YPF’s rights and obligations in the “Llancanelo” and “Llancanelo R” exploitation concessions in favor of Petroquímica Comodoro Rivadavia S.A. (“PCR”).

On December 5, 2024, after the fulfillment of the closing conditions by YPF and PCR, the transfer of 100% of the rights and obligations of YPF in such exploitation concessions in favor of PCR was formalized.

 

 

Estación Fernández Oro

On December 19, 2024, Decree No. 525/2024 was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Río Negro, which authorized the transfer of 100% of YPF’s rights and obligations in the “Estación Fernández Oro” exploitation concession in favor of Quintana E&P Argentina S.R.L., Quintana Energy Investments S.A., and Gas Storage and Midstream Services S.A.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the assignment agreement is subject to the fulfillment of closing conditions, including the formal resolution by the corresponding enforcement authorities.

11.a.2) Accounting matters

Considering the YPF’s Board of Directors’ decision dated February 29, 2024, impairment indicators under IAS 36 were evaluated for each group of assets. Accordingly, the Company performed an impairment review separately from its CGU and recognized an impairment charge of property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2023 (see Note 8). The disposal of these groups of assets did not meet the requirements of IFRS 5 to be classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023, therefore these groups of assets were not classified as held for sale as of that date.

In February 2024, after the fulfillment of all the requirements of IFRS 5, the assets were reclassified from the “Property, plant and equipment” line item to the “Assets held for sale” line item and the related provisions for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations and for environmental liabilities and liabilities for concessions to the “Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale” line item as current items in the statement of financial position.

Considering that, after their classification, the assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell (“fair value”), the Company evaluates the changes in fair value, recognizing a profit up to the limit of the impairment loss previously recognized or an impairment loss in addition to that previously recognized for such changes (see Note 2.b.13)). According to mentioned in Note 8, the recoverable amount was defined as future net cash flows discounted at a discount rate after income tax, which as of December 31, 2024 was 15%.

As of December 31, 2024, based on the aforementioned assessment of the changes in the fair value, the Company recognized a loss due to changes in the fair value of assets held for sale of 260, in the “Other net operating results” line item in the statement of comprehensive income, mainly generated by the more pronounced decline of the fields and the lower production than expected due to its performance.

Likewise, as of December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a loss due to changes in the fair value of assets held for sale of 178, in the “Other net operating results” line item in the statement of comprehensive income, associated with the conditions established in the new assignment agreement signed between YPF, San Benito, and PECOM for the assets related to the “Manantiales Behr” exploitation concession.

The carrying amount of the assets held for sale may be adjusted in future periods depending on the results of the disposal process carried out by YPF and the economic consideration to be agreed with third parties for such assets.

Based on the fair value of the groups of assets at the closing date of each of the assignment agreements mentioned in the Note 11.a.1), YPF additionally recognized a gain on the sale of such groups of assets of 192 and 6 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Group is part to a number of labor, commercial, civil, tax, criminal, environmental, customs and administrative proceedings that, either alone or in combination with other proceedings, could, if resolved in whole or in part adversely to the Group, result in the imposition of material costs, judgments, fines or other losses. While the Group believes that such risks have been provisioned appropriately based on the opinions and advice of our legal advisors and in accordance with applicable accounting standards, certain loss contingencies are subject to changes as new information develops and results of the presented evidence are obtained in judicial process, among other factors. It is possible that losses resulting from such risks, if proceedings are decided in whole or in part adversely to the Group, could significantly exceed the recorded provisions.

Likewise, due to its operations, the Group is subject to various laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment (see Note 2.c) “Provisions” section).

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025, 2024 AND 2023

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

 

17.

PROVISIONS (cont.)

 

17.a) Provision for lawsuits and contingencies

The Group has recognized pending lawsuits, claims and contingencies, which are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The most significant pending lawsuits and contingencies are described below:

17.a.1) Liabilities and contingencies assumed by the Argentine Government before 1990

Under YPF’s Privatization Law, the Argentine Government took over certain obligations of the predecessor company as of December 31, 1990. In certain lawsuits related to events or acts that took place before December 31, 1990, YPF has been required to make advance payments in compliance with certain judicial decisions. YPF has the right to be reimbursed for these payments by the Argentine Government based on the indemnity mentioned above.

In pending lawsuits, YPF has claimed its right to be indemnified by the Argentine Government for events and contingencies prior to January 1, 1991 under Law No. 24,145 (YPF’s Privatization Law) and Decree No. 546/1993.

On September 2, 2025, the CSJN issued an order in which it considered that YPF lacked standing as a defendant, as it had no legal relationship with respect to claims for environmental liabilities not assumed by YPF and assumed by the Argentine Government under the terms of the YPF’s Privatization Law.

17.a.2) 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 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 accounting expert in the settlement period) to the SE, to be allocated to the trust fund created under Law No. 26,020.

The judgment rejects the claim for the items corresponding to the period 1997-2001, considering that YPF’s position in the domestic bulk LPG market had not been sufficiently proved. Furthermore, the judgment 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 judgment, which was admitted with suspensive effect.

On December 7, 2017, the Company was notified about the Court of Second Appeals’ judgment, which: (i) confirmed the claims for compensation for the 1993-1997 period; (ii) extends the Users and Consumers Association claim from period between years 1997 to 1999 under the item “equity transfer of consumers to producers for the higher cost of LPG”, deferring the settlement related to this item to the execution stage of the judgment; and (iii) partially grants the appeal filed by the defendant with respect to the item “damage caused by lower or different energy consumption due to the higher cost of LPG”.

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

 

17.

PROVISIONS (cont.)

 

It should be noted that the judgment 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 settlement of the judgment amount becomes final, 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 Court of Second Appeals’ judgment, which was sustained and the file was submitted to the CSJN, being the enforcement of the Court of Second Appeals’ judgment still suspended as of the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

On June 2, 2021, the CSJN forwarded the file to the National Attorney General’s Office for its opinion on the legal merits of the extraordinary appeal.

On April 13, 2023, the National Attorney General’s Office issued an opinion recommending the CSJN to grant the extraordinary appeal lodged by YPF and to reverse the Court of Second Appeals’ judgment. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the extraordinary appeal is pending resolution.

17.a.3) Environmental claims

 

 

La Plata

In relation to the operation of the refinery owned by YPF in La Plata city, Province of Buenos Aires, there are certain judicial claims, mostly filed by neighbors of the area seeking (i) compensation for damages arising from the alleged environmental contamination caused by the operation of the La Plata Refinery and (ii) the environmental remediation of the waterways adjacent to the mentioned refinery. Should these claims be sustained, they could demand additional investments related to the operation of La Plata Refinery.

In 2006 YPF submitted a presentation before the Environmental Policy Secretariat of the Province of Buenos Aires, whereby it suggested the performance of a study for the characterization of risks associated with the aforementioned contamination.

On January 25, 2011, YPF executed an agreement with the Provincial Agency for Sustainable Development (“OPDS”, by its acronym in Spanish) of the Province of Buenos Aires, under the Remediation, Liability and Environmental Risk Control Program, created under Resolution No. 88/2010 of the OPDS. 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 obligation to hold YPF harmless in accordance with the article 9 of YPF’s Privatization Law. This study proved between 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 the OPDS, 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 two-year extension to continue with the remediation and monitoring works through the suggested remediation modality (monitored natural recovery).

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

 

17.

PROVISIONS (cont.)

 

Regarding the judicial claims mentioned above, on February 7, 2022, 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 co-defendants’ joint liability for the damages in the following proportions: YPF 90% (the Argentine Government 80% and YPF 20%) and the 2 co-defendant companies 10%. The decision was appealed by the Company. 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 consolidated financial statements, such appeal is pending resolution.

 

 

Quilmes

As regards with a fuel leak in the polyduct running from La Plata to Dock Sud (Progressive 37), in the Province of Buenos Aires, 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 conducted by the Company since then 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. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, this lawsuit is pending resolution.

 

 

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 Argentina. 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.

17.a.4) 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.

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

Based on the Group’s current remediation 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 obligations, considering the number of wells not yet abandoned, the costs and schedule for the timing of disbursements.

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

 

18.

INCOME TAX (cont.)

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Group has recognized deferred tax assets for tax loss carryforwards for 404 of which 7 can be offset with taxable profits until the year 2029 and 397 until the year 2030, in accordance with current tax laws.

As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, there are no material deferred tax assets which are not recognized that may be recoverable in the future.

As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Group has classified as deferred tax assets 9, 330 and 18, respectively, and as deferred tax liabilities 373, 90 and 1,242, respectively, all of which arise from the net deferred tax balances of each of the individual companies included in these consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the causes that generated charges within “Other comprehensive income” line item in the statement of comprehensive income did not generate temporary differences subject to income tax.

Regularization plan associated with the calculation of tax loss carryforwards

On April 30, 2025, ARCA General Resolution No. 5,684/2025 was published, establishing a payment plan of 120 monthly installments for the settlement of the following items: (i) balances of income tax returns corresponding to tax periods not prescribed as of the effective date of said Resolution, when tax loss carryforwards from previous years adjusted for inflation have been calculated and said situation is corrected by submitting the respective rectifying tax returns, plus their corresponding compensatory and/or punitive interest; (ii) balances of the original or rectifying income tax returns corresponding to fiscal years ending between December 2024 and November 2025, inclusive, in which tax loss carryforwards are calculated at historical values, plus their corresponding compensatory and/or punitive interest; and (iii) interest related to advance payments and/or payments on account and fines related to the filing of the rectifying tax returns mentioned in items (i) and (ii) above.

The Company, based on the opinion of its external advisors, and considering the changes in the context performed during 2025 mainly due to adverse administrative and judicial jurisprudence in the first instances of execution and the financial conditions granted by the Tax Administration, evaluated ARCA General Resolution No. 5,684/2025 and on November 18, 2025, decided to adhere to the “Regularization plan associated with the calculation of tax loss carryforwards” provided for in said Resolution for the purpose of canceling the obligations related to income tax recalculated in accordance with the provisions of said Regime, thus eliminating any possible dispute with the tax authorities regarding the adjustment of tax loss carryforwards corresponding to the 2024 fiscal period.

30. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT OPERATIONS AND CONSORTIUMS

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

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

31. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s capital amounts to 3,921 and treasury shares amount to 12 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 December 31, 2025, 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 exploitation 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 30, 2025, 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, 2024 and, additionally, approved the following in relation to the retained earnings: (i) completely release the reserve for purchase of treasury shares and the reserve for investments; (ii) allocate the amount of 33 (34,205 million of pesos) to appropriate a reserve for purchase of treasury shares; and (iii) allocate the amount of 6,587 (6,787,343 million of pesos) to appropriate a reserve for investments.

Until the enactment of Law No. 26,741 described below, Repsol S.A. (“Repsol”) had a participation in the Company, directly and indirectly, of 57.43% shareholding while Petersen Energía S.A.U. and its affiliates exercised significant influence through a 25.46% shareholding of YPF’s capital stock.

Law No. 26,741 enacted on May 4, 2012, changed YPF’s shareholding structure declared the Class D shares of YPF owned by Repsol as national public interest and subject to expropriation representing 51% of YPF’s equity. In addition, Law No. 26,741 declared that achieving self-sufficiency in the supply of hydrocarbons as well as in the exploration, exploitation, industrialization, transportation and sale of hydrocarbons, shall be considered of national public interest and a priority for Argentina, with the goal of guaranteeing socially equitable economic development, job creation, the increase of the competitiveness of various economic sectors and the equitable and sustainable growth of the provinces and regions. The shares subject to expropriation were distributed as follows: 51% for the Argentine National Government and 49% for certain provinces.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has repurchased 343,654 of its own shares issued for an amount of 10, for purposes of compliance with the share-based benefit plans (see Note 37). During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not repurchased its own shares.

In accordance with the provisions of the LGS and the CNV rules, the Company must set aside a legal reserve of not less than 5% of the positive result resulting from the algebraic sum of net profit or loss for the year, prior-year adjustments, transfers from other comprehensive income to unappropriated retained earnings and losses from previous years, until such reserve reaches 20% of the sum of the “Capital” and “Adjustment of capital” accounts and the translation differences related to such accounts according to the CNV rules. As of December 31, 2025, the legal reserve has been fully integrated, amounting to 787. Likewise, the Company’s Shareholders’ Meeting has defined voluntary reserves for future dividends, for investments and for purchase of treasury shares. In relation to the reserve for future dividends and in compliance with the LGS, we declare dividends in the currency of legal tender in Argentina, which is the peso. The dividends are declared and distributed based on the last annual audited financial statements in pesos submitted to the CNV.

Considering Article 3, item 11, sections c) and e), Chapter III, Title IV of CNV rules, the balances of the accounts “Acquisition cost of treasury shares” and “Share trading premiums” in the currency of legal tender in Argentina, which is the peso, restricts the distribution of retained earnings. According to the Company’s shareholders’ equity in its statutory financial statements, the restricted balances of retained earnings amounts to 35 as of December 31, 2025, which are included in the “Acquisition cost of treasury shares” account.

When the net balance of retained earnings at the end of a fiscal year is positive, it can be distributed upon the decision of the Shareholders’ meeting, while not subject to legal restrictions. Additionally, pursuant to the CNV rules, when the net balance of “Other comprehensive income” account in the currency of legal tender in Argentina, which is the peso, is positive, it will not be distributed nor capitalized nor used to compensate accumulated losses, but will be computed as part of retained earnings in order to make comparisons to determine the situation of the Company in relation to Articles 31, 32 and 206 of the LGS, or other legal or regulatory rules making reference to limits or ratios with capital and reserves, not specifically and expressly provided for under the CNV rules. When the net balance of “Other comprehensive income” account in the statutory financial statements at the end of a fiscal year is negative, a restriction on the distribution of retained earnings for the same amount will be imposed.

There are no financial instruments or other contracts outstanding issued by YPF that imply the issuance of potential ordinary shares, thus the diluted earnings per share equals the basic earnings per share.

33. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Group has the following contingencies and claims, individually significant, which in the opinion of the Company and its external counsels, have a possible outcome. In this sense, and based on the information available to the Group, including the amount of time remaining before conclusion of pending lawsuits, the results of evidence discovery and the assessment of internal and external advisors, the Group is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss in relation to certain matters described in Note 33.b).

33.a) Contingent assets

The Group has no significant contingent assets.

33.b) Contingent liabilities

33.b.1) Environmental claims

 

 

Asociación Superficiarios de la Patagonia (“ASSUPA”)

ASSUPA sued the companies operating exploitation concessions and exploration permits in the different basins (Neuquina basin in 2003, Northwest basin in 2010, and Austral basin in 2012), YPF among them, claiming the remediation of the general environmental damage purportedly caused by hydrocarbon activities. In addition, it requested the establishment of an environmental restoration fund, and the implementation of measures to prevent environmental damages in the future.

Concessionary companies in the Neuquina basin areas

The claim was answered by YPF and the rest of the sued parties. Following several proceedings, on December 30, 2014, the CSJN issued 2 interlocutory judgments. The first judgment declared that all environmental damages related to local and provincial situations were outside the scope of its original competence, and that only inter-jurisdictional situations (such as the Colorado River basin) would fall under its venue. In the second judgment, the CSJN rejected the petition filed by ASSUPA to incorporate Repsol S.A. and the directors who carried their activities in YPF until April 2012 as a necessary third party. The CSJN also rejected precautionary measures and other proceedings related to such request.

As a result of such decision, an individual filed a preventive damage action to reduce presumed damages and prevent future damages (action for repair of damages) consisting of the comprehensive remediation of collective damages allegedly caused by the hydrocarbon activity undertaken by YPF in the Province of Neuquén. In such action, YPF answered the claim and requested that the National Government, the Provincial Government and other oil companies in the area be summoned to appear.

Concessionary companies in the Northwest basin areas

On December 1, 2014, YPF was notified of the complaint and moved for the suspension of procedural deadlines due to notification defects, which motion was granted by the court. On April 19, 2017, YPF was notified of the court order resuming procedural deadlines and timely filed a challenge for legal defect, together with other the co-defendants. The court ordered those terms to answer the complaint be stayed until a final order is rendered on the defense based on a legal defect. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the procedural deadlines are suspended until the digitization of the proceedings.

 CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (cont.)

 

Concessionary companies in the Austral basin areas

On November 2, 2015, YPF was notified of the claim and requested the suspension of procedural deadlines due to notification defects. This suspension was granted by the court and following several incidents with different codefendants and parties summoned to appear. On June 23, 2020, the judge ordered a new notification with the transfer of the case. The decision was appealed by the plaintiff.

On May 12, 2021, the file was submitted to the Federal Contentious Administrative Court of Appeals to decide on the plaintiff’s appeal on the interlocutory judgment, in which the judge decided to sustain the claim filed by YPF, among other co-defendants, ordering the transfer of the case. On November 8, 2022, the Federal Contentious Administrative Court ratified the decision of the Lower Court the complaint to be served again.

 

  Dock Sud, Río Matanza, Riachuelo, Quilmes and Refinería Luján de Cuyo

In 2006, a group of neighbors of Dock Sud, Province of Buenos Aires, sued 44 companies, including YPF, the Argentine Government, the Province of Buenos Aires, the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and 14 municipalities, before the CSJN, seeking remediation and indemnification for environmental collective damages to the Matanza and Riachuelo rivers. Additionally, another group of neighbors of the Dock Sud area, filed 2 additional environmental claims, one of which was desisted in relation to YPF, while the other claim seeks remediation and indemnification for collective environmental damages to the Dock Sud area and individual property damages allegedly suffered by several companies located in that area, including YPF, the Province of Buenos Aires and several municipalities. Currently, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the outcome of these complaints, nor is it possible to estimate the resulting associated legal fees and expenses. YPF has the right to be indemnified and held harmless by the Argentine Government for events and claims prior to January 1, 1991, in accordance with YPF Privatization Law.

Through its judgment dated July 8, 2008, the CSJN:

 

  -

Determined that the Authority of the Matanza Riachuelo Basin (“ACUMAR”) (Law No. 26,168) should be in charge of executing the program for environmental remediation of the rivers, being the Argentine Government, the Province of Buenos Aires and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires responsible for its performance; delegated to the Federal Lower Court of Quilmes the knowledge of all the matters concerning the execution of the remediation and sanitation; declared that all the litigations related to the execution of the remediation plan will be accumulated and be processed by this court and that this process produces lis pendens relating to the other collective actions seeking the environmental remediation of the basin, which should be archived. YPF was notified of certain resolutions issued by ACUMAR, whereby the Company was required to present an industrial reconversion plan in connection with certain YPF installations. Despite the appeal by the Company of the aforementioned resolutions, the plan was still presented.

 

  -

Decided that the proceedings to determine liabilities arising from past behaviors to repair the collective environmental damage would continue being heard by CSJN.

On October 22, 2024, the CSJN issued a final judgement whereby: (i) it terminated the CSJN’s supervision of compliance with the judgement of July 8, 2008; (ii) it terminated the case for the remediation of the collective environmental damage without sentencing any of the 44 defendant companies; (iii) it imposed the costs in the order incurred; and (iv) it decided that the litigation related to the execution of the remediation plan will continue to be processed before the corresponding court. YPF is not a party to such litigation.

In addition to the aforementioned in Note 17.a.3) related to environmental claims in Quilmes, the Company has other judicial and non-judicial claims against it, based on similar arguments.

On the other hand, the monitoring activities carried out routinely by YPF have allowed to detect a certain degree of environmental impact on the subsoil within the vicinity of the Luján de Cuyo Refinery, which led to the implementation of a program for the survey, assessment and remediation of environmental damages, agreed by the Company with the enforcement agencies of the Province of Mendoza, which costs have been recognized in the “Provision for environmental liabilities” account of the “Provisions” line item in the statement of financial position.

Regarding the environmental damage to the aquifer surrounding the Luján de Cuyo Refinery, a detailed research plan was conducted in order to define, analyze risks and implement mitigating actions. Thereafter, a remediation engineering plan was developed which is currently being implemented. Remediation follow-up is carried out under the supervision and with the assistance of Instituto Nacional del Agua (“INA”) and local authorities.

Plaintiffs in these proceedings are Petersen and Eton Park, both of which previously held American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) evidencing American Depositary Shares (ADSs) representing YPF Class D shares. Petersen filed its complaint on April 8, 2015 and Eton Park filed its complaint on November 3, 2016. Both complaints were filed before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“District Court”), and against the Republic of Argentina (“Republic”) and YPF. The complaints make allegations related to the Republic’s intervention in YPF in 2012 and the Republic’s subsequent expropriation of a controlling interest in YPF held by Repsol (see Note 31). Petersen and Eton Park allege that the Republic and YPF breached purported obligations contained in the Company’s bylaws. The Petersen case and the Eton Park case were deemed to be related cases, are being conducted jointly and were assigned to the same District Court.

On September 8, 2015, before Eton Park had filed its complaint, the Republic and YPF filed motions to dismiss Petersen’s claims. On October 19, 2015 and October 23, 2015, Petersen filed oppositions to the Republic’s and YPF’s motions to dismiss, respectively. On September 9, 2016, the District Court issued a decision partially denying the motions to dismiss. The Company and the Republic appealed this decision, requesting a complete dismissal of the complaint. The Company and the Republic argued that the case should proceed in Argentina, if at all (forum non conveniens). The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (“Court of Appeals”) held that the District Court had jurisdiction over this matter. On October 31, 2018, the Company and the Republic appealed this decision to the United States Supreme Court (“Supreme Court”). On June 24, 2019, the Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal.

On August 30, 2019, the Republic and YPF filed motions to dismiss both the Petersen and the Eton Park cases, once again arguing that the cases should proceed in Argentina (forum non conveniens). On June 5, 2020, the District Court denied these motions to dismiss. The Republic and YPF filed their answers to the Petersen complaint on July 8, 2019 and to the Eton Park complaint on July 10, 2020. On July 13, 2020, the District Court issued an order requiring the parties to proceed with fact and expert discovery. Given the overlap between the Petersen and Eton Park cases, they moved forward jointly and the parties proceeded with consolidated discovery in both cases. Fact discovery concluded on August 27, 2021.

Expert discovery concluded on April 6, 2022. On April 14, 2022, Plaintiffs and YPF and the Republic filed opening briefs in support of cross-motions for summary judgment in the Petersen and Eton Park actions. Plaintiffs argued that the District Court should grant summary judgment in their favor on liability and damages as to both YPF and the Republic. In their opening briefs, YPF and the Republic each argued that it has no liability and owes no damages to Plaintiffs, and that the District Court should, therefore, grant summary judgment in its favor and dismiss all remaining claims against it. The parties filed opposition and reply briefs on May 26, 2022 and June 23, 2022, respectively.

On March 30, 2023, the District Court granted YPF’s motion for summary judgment and denied Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment as to YPF in its entirety. The District Court found that YPF has no contractual liability and owes no damages for breach of contract to Plaintiffs and accordingly dismissed Plaintiffs’ claims against YPF.

In line with the decision issued on March 30, 2023, in the final judgment issued on September 15, 2023 the District Court ordered, adjudged and decreed that all of Plaintiffs’ claims against YPF were dismissed, decreeing that YPF has no contractual liability and owes no damages for breach of contract to Plaintiffs.

CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (cont.)

 

On October 18, 2023, Plaintiffs appealed the District Court’s final judgment as to YPF and those orders that, for purposes of appeal, merge into the designated final judgment.

On October 23, 2023, YPF filed a notice of conditional cross-cross-appeal.

The appeals filed by the parties in these proceedings were fully briefed as of September 6, 2024. The Court of Appeals held oral argument on these appeals on October 29, 2025.

On April 1, 2024, Plaintiffs filed a turnover motion, which became public (and accessible to YPF) on April 22, 2024. This motion requested that the District Court order the Republic to turn over the YPF Class D shares held by the Republic to Plaintiffs in partial satisfaction of the District Court’s judgment against the Republic in this proceeding. Plaintiffs and the Republic completed their briefing on the turnover motion on July 8, 2024.

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. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, Plaintiffs have not requested that the District Court find that YPF is an alter ego of the Republic.

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 on August 26, 2024 and YPF filed its reply on September 3, 2024.

On November 15, 2024, the District Court stayed alter ego discovery from YPF, pending the Court’s consideration of supplemental briefing by YPF, the Republic and Plaintiffs on certain issues, including subject matter jurisdiction. The supplemental briefing was completed on January 24, 2025.

On June 30, 2025, the District Court granted Plaintiffs’ turnover motion, ordering the Republic to: (i) transfer its Class D shares of YPF to a global custody account at the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) in New York within 14 days of the date of the order; and (ii) instruct BNYM to initiate a transfer of the Republic’s ownership interests in its Class D shares of YPF to Plaintiffs or their designees within one business day of the date on which the shares are deposited into the account.

Also on June 30, 2025, in proceedings brought by Bainbridge Fund Ltd. against the Republic, the District Court issued a similar order directing the Republic to turn over its Class A and Class D shares of YPF.

On July 10, 2025, the Republic filed with the Court of Appeals: (i) notices of appeal of the June 30, 2025 turnover orders in both Plaintiffs’ and Bainbridge Fund Ltd.’s proceedings; and (ii) emergency motions for a stay pending appeal of the June 30, 2025 turnover orders and an immediate administrative stay. On July 15, 2025, the Court of Appeals granted a temporary administrative stay of the turnover orders pending resolution of the stay motions. On August 15, 2025, the Court of Appeals granted a stay pending resolution of the Republic’s appeal of the June 30, 2025 turnover orders.

CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (cont.)

 

YPF is not a party to the aforementioned turnover proceedings.

On September 17, 2025, the District Court denied YPF’s request to permanently enjoin Plaintiffs from pursuing recovery from YPF in connection with their September 15, 2023 final judgment against the Republic and ordered Plaintiffs and YPF to continue with the discovery process. The District Court’s decision does not decide the question of whether YPF is an alter ego of the Republic, which YPF strongly denies.

On October 1, 2025, YPF filed a motion for reconsideration of the September 17, 2025 order with the District Court arguing, among other things, that the District Court erred by overlooking binding precedent regarding the Court’s lack of subject matter jurisdiction. YPF also requested a stay of discovery from YPF. The Court granted the request for a stay of alter ego discovery from YPF pending resolution of YPF’s reconsideration motion.

On November 10, 2025, the District Court denied YPF’s motion for reconsideration of the September 17, 2025 order.

YPF has appealed the September 17, 2025, and November 10, 2025, orders, and those appeals have been consolidated. YPF filed its opening appeal brief on December 23, 2025. Briefing is scheduled to be complete on March 13, 2026, with oral argument calendared for the week of April 13, 2026. On December 23, 2025, the District Court granted YPF’s request to stay alter ego discovery from YPF pending these appeals.

On January 15, 2026, Plaintiffs filed a motion for sanctions and contempt against the Republic. Plaintiffs have asked, among other things, for the District Court to preclude the Republic from arguing that YPF and other instrumentalities are not alter egos of the Republic. Plaintiffs have also asked the Court to draw certain adverse inferences that Plaintiffs believe will help to support their alter ego theories. Briefing is scheduled to conclude on March 5, 2026. An evidentiary hearing is scheduled for April 21 to 23, 2026. YPF is not a party to this motion.

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 these litigations and their possible impact on the results and financial situation of the Group, as needed.

33.b.3) Claims before the CNDC

 

 

Claims for fuels sale prices

The Group was subject to certain claims before the CNDC, related to alleged price discrimination in sale of fuels which were timely answered by YPF.

33.b.4) Other claims

Additionally, there are several labor, civil and commercial cases in which the Group has been sued and several claims from the ARCA and provincial and municipal tax authorities, not individually significant, which have not been provisioned for, as the Company, based on the evidence available as of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, has considered that they constitute possible contingencies.

35. MAIN REGULATIONS

The main regulatory framework under which the Group carries on its business activities is described below. However, the purpose of this section is not to provide an exhaustive description of all the regulations governing the Group’s business.

35.a) Regulations applicable to the hydrocarbon industry

35.a.1) Hydrocarbons Law

Law No. 17,319 of 1967 and its numerous amendments, including Law No. 27,007 of 2014, establish the general principles governing the exploration, exploitation, industrialization, transportation, and commercialization of hydrocarbon resources in Argentina (“Hydrocarbons Law”). Likewise, in 2024, the Bases Law incorporated new amendments to the Hydrocarbons Law (see Note 35.l)). The most relevant aspects 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 state-owned, private or mixed ownership companies, under the provisions of the Hydrocarbons Law and the regulations issued by the PEN. Also, 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 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. Also, 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.

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

 

35.

MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

Since the issuance of the Bases Law, the request for conversion of a conventional exploitation concession into an unconventional exploitation concession will only be available until December 31, 2028, and its term will be 35 years without extensions.

Additionally, for new exploitation concessions, the national or provincial Executive Branch, as applicable, at the time of defining the terms and conditions of the bidding, may determine in a reasoned manner other terms of up to 10 years more than those provided for in the Hydrocarbons Law.

 

  -

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 will be 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.

Since the issuance of the Bases Law, the legal figure of “transportation concession” is replaced by the figure of “transportation authorization”. Also, it establishes that exploitation concessions and transportation concessions granted prior to the enactment of the Bases Law will continue under the legal figure of “concession” and governed until their expiration by the legal framework existing at the date of approval of the Bases Law.

 

  -

Holders of exploration permits and exploitation concessions 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 up to 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 or exploitation concession, to the tax regime established under the Hydrocarbons Law.

Since the issuance of the Bases Law, the royalties to be paid to the enforcement authority in exploitation concession bidding processes will be offered by the concessionaire, determining that the royalty to be offered will be 15% plus or minus a percentage at the bidder’s discretion.

Additionally, the fee for each square kilometer or fraction thereof that a holder of an exploration permit or an exploitation concession must pay annually and in advance shall be calculated according to a scale determined by the price of a barrel of oil quoted on the “Frontline ICE Brent”.

 

  -

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.

 

  -

Since the issuance of the Bases Law, international trade of hydrocarbons and/or its derivatives will be free, according to the terms and conditions established by the PEN, and exploration permit holders and/or exploitation concessionaires, refiners and/or marketers may freely export hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives, subject to the SE’s non-objection.

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

 

35.

MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

Decree No. 1,057/2024 established that the free exercise of the right to export hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives may not be interrupted, nor be reviewed again once certain deadlines have passed, during the entire period or program of shipments or deliveries not objected to by the SE, and the requirements established in said decree must be complied with for this purpose, except in the event of exceptional circumstances which objectively compromise the security of supply in the domestic market. For those exports of hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives whose period or program of shipments or deliveries exceeds 1 year, the interested party must prove the right to dispose of the export volumes and in the deadlines committed.

Likewise, it provided that the SE may object in whole or in part to the export of hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives, only based on the technical and/or economic reasons that affect the security of supply in the domestic market. Additionally, it establishes that the SE may object totally or partially to exports due to significant and unforeseen variations in the prices of hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives in the domestic market, on a temporary basis and until this situation has ended.

 

  -

Since the issuance of the Bases Law, hydrocarbon processing and natural gas storage activities are incorporated, for which the national or provincial Executive Branch, as applicable, may grant storage and/or processing authorizations.

 

  -

Owners of projects and/or facilities for the conditioning, separation, fractionation, liquefaction and/or any other hydrocarbon industrialization process may request an authorization to transport hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives to their industrialization facilities and from them to subsequent industrialization or commercialization process centers and/or facilities.

Decree No. 1,057/2024 establishes that for the holders of such projects and/or facilities whose construction, installation or operation had been authorized prior to the entry into force of the Bases Law, it is not mandatory to process the conversion to authorizations under the scheme of said law.

Those authorized to process hydrocarbons are required to process hydrocarbons from third parties up to a maximum of 5% of the capacity of their facilities.

Additionally, the Bases Law incorporated amendments to the Hydrocarbons Law regarding the regulations applicable to the transportation, processing, storage, distribution and commercialization of natural gas, which are described in Note 35.c.1).

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 National 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, 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.

 

  -

In 2007, Law No. 26,197 recognized that hydrocarbon reservoirs, in compliance with Article 124 of the Argentine National Constitution (including reservoirs for which concessions were awarded prior to 1994) were owned by the provinces and granted them right to administer such reservoirs.

MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

35.a.2) YPF Privatization Law

In 1992, Law No. 24,145 (“Privatization Law”) privatized Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Sociedad del Estado, YPF’s predecessor company, and decided the transfer of hydrocarbon fields from the Argentine Government to the provinces, subject to the existing rights of the holders of exploration permits and exploitation concessions. Under the Privatization Law, the Company was awarded exploration permits and exploitation concessions which are the original titles to numerous concessions that are currently operated by YPF.

35.a.3) CENCH in the Province of Neuquén

On December 16, 2021, the Province of Nequén published Decree No. 2,183/2021 whereby approved Resolution No. 53/2020, as amended by Resolution No. 142/2021, which regulate the award of a CENCH in the province.

The aforementioned resolutions: (i) established the parameters applicable to the pilot plan to be submitted in order to apply for a CENCH and the technical criteria to define the territorial area of the CENCH; (ii) created the Area Extension Bonus for the area exceeding the pilot plan area; (iii) required the presentation of an annual update of a Continuous Development Plan during the mass production stage, and (iv) specified that commitments undertaken for the year following each presentation and update of the Continuous Development Plan should be firm commitments.

35.b) Regulations applicable to the Downstream activities

35.b.1) Regulation related to liquid hydrocarbon exports

Exports of crude oil, gasoline and diesel, among other goods, are subject to the registration provided for under Decree No. 645/2002 and SRH Resolution No. E-241/2017, as amended by SSHyC Resolution No. 329/2019.

In order to obtain an export permit, companies interested in exporting these products should enter export transactions in a register and ensure they have given the possibility of acquiring the products to interested potential domestic market agents.

On March 28, 2023, SE Resolution No. 175/2023 was published, creating a special regime for the registration of crude petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals through cross-border crude oil pipelines. In order to obtain the export permit, entities will be required to prove to the SSHyC that the respective export does not affect domestic market supply. The permit shall indicate the export volume authorized for a minimum term of 1 year from the date the permit was granted.

Decree No. 1,057/2024 (see Note 35.l)) provided that the SE shall keep a record of the export operations that were notified, those that were objected to, and those that were actually carried out. This decree establishes that, until its repeal or modification is ordered, exclusively with regard to the registration of such operations, Decree No. 645/2002, SRH Resolution No. E-241/2017 and its amendment Disposition No. 329/2019 of the SSHyC, and Resolution SE No. 175/2023 will continue to be applicable. In addition, it determines that the SE must make the corresponding regulatory adjustments for these and all other regulations referring to exports of hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives in order to comply with the objectives established in the Bases Law (see Note 35.l)) and the Hydrocarbons Law (see Note 35.a.1)).

In addition, the provisions regulating the export of hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives are described in the Hydrocarbons Law (see Note 35.a.1)).

MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

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 grades 2 and 3 of diesel and gasoline, which include changes in the content of lead, manganese, oxygen and ethanol, and, more significantly, in relation to sulphur, demanding oil and gas 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 and gas 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 regarding sulphur content in gasoline grade 2 was extended since January 1, 2024. As of that date, the specifications that apply to gasoline grade 2 establish a maximum sulphur content of 50 mg/kg.

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 and gas 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, on several occasions, 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 July 1, 2026. Therefore, the Company is currently executing the last activities in compliance with the applicable resolution, having completed those related to the La Plata Industrial Complex.

35.b.3) Regulatory framework associated with the LPG industry

Law No. 26,020 of 2005 (“LPG Law”), amended by Decree No. 446/2025, establishes the regulatory framework for the LPG industry, covering all activities related to the production, fractionation, bottling, transportation, storage, distribution and sale of LPG, declared of public interest by said law. It also establishes (i) the free import of LPG, (ii) the free export of LPG once the supply of the domestic market is ensured and (iii) the sale of LPG by producers to the domestic market up to the export parity price.

Under the LPG Law, the Argentine Government launched several incentive programs for the supply of the domestic market (see Note 35.f.2)).

35.c) Regulations applicable to natural gas and LNG activities

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

Law No. 24,076 (“Gas Law”), which was enacted in 1992, together with its Regulatory Decree No. 1,738/1992, as amended by the Bases Law (see Note 35.l)), regulate natural gas public transportation and distribution services.

The Gas Law created the ENARGAS to administer and enforce the legal framework adopted for the transportation, distribution and commercialization of natural gas.

Natural gas transportation and distribution systems are divided into 2 main natural 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. Also, 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, hereinafter the “Distribution”); (ii) thermoelectric generation; (iii) industrial demand; and (iv) compressed natural gas (“CNG”).

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.

MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

However, regulations applicable to natural gas commercialization were affected by the declaration of public emergency under Law No. 25,561 enacted on January 6, 2002 (“Public Emergency Law” 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 to redirect injected natural gas and other mechanisms to ensure the supply of the priority demand (Distribution segment).

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 conditions (“Framework Agreement”) for the supply of natural gas effective from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019; 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.f.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 was 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 had provisionally been assigned the role to acquire and supply fuels without cost to generators which do not have natural gas supply contracts currently in force. From March 1, 2025, since SE Resolution No. 21/2025, generators are authorized to make their fuel purchases (see Note 35.d) “CAMMESA” section).

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

Likewise, the Bases Law and Decree No. 1,057/2024 (see Note 35.l)) introduced the following amendments:

 

  -

The figure of “underground natural gas storage authorizations in depleted natural hydrocarbon reservoirs” was incorporated, and the possibility for holders of an underground natural gas storage permit to apply for a hydrocarbon transportation authorization was established.

 

  -

The distinction of types of concessions, authorizations and transportation licenses was regulated, identifying natural gas transportation licenses and/or their extensions granted under the Gas Law.

 

  -

The Hydrocarbons Law was amended incorporating the activities of processing and storage of natural gas, as described in Note 35.a.1).

 

  -

The possibility to request authorization to transport hydrocarbons for owners of projects and/or facilities for the conditioning, separation, fractionation, liquefaction and/or any other hydrocarbon industrialization process.

MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

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 2018 - December 2018 period, 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.

Also, 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.

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

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.

Although the natural gas export regime was modified by numerous successive regulations since 2016, SE Resolution No. 774/2022 currently applies to natural gas exports, 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.f.1)) to producers holding export licenses.

In 2024, the Bases Law and Decree No. 1,057/2024 (see Note 35.l)) approved natural gas exports following the same terms and conditions as for liquid hydrocarbon exports, as described in Note 35.a.1).

Regarding natural gas infrastructure, Decree No. 1,057/2024 established that in the case of exports that involve the construction of new natural gas pipelines or new connections to them and/or new facilities, the SE’s non-objection to the export of natural gas will not imply authorization for their construction or new natural gas pipeline connections, which will be authorized through the relevant procedures.

MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

LNG

In 2024, the Bases Law and Decree No. 1,057/2024 (see Note 35.l)) established a special regime for long-term firm export authorizations for LNG export permits, whose procedure was approved through SE Resolution No. 145/2025. The SE would have to verify the sufficiency of natural gas resources in Argentina to supply local demand and LNG export projects, and may oppose the request for export authorization, based on, among others, the lack of availability of natural gas to supply local demand. On April 21, 2025, SE Resolution No. 157/2025 was published, by which the SE approved the declaration of sufficiency of natural gas resources in Argentina that would supply local demand and LNG export projects for 63 years, which must be updated by the SE at least every 5 years.

When the SE does not object to a request, it will issue a “free LNG export authorization” granting firm export rights for 30 years from the start-up of the liquefaction plant or its expansions, and may not be subject to interruptions, restrictions or redefinitions in the future, and which may be transferred to third parties if certain conditions are met.

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, the Distribution License and the Transfer Agreement lay down the legal framework for Metrogas’ activities.

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 Metrogas’ shares.

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 ENARGAS’ recommendation to the 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.

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.

In 2024, the Bases Law and Decree No. 1,057/2024 (see Note 35.l)) allowed the providers of public natural gas distribution and transportation services to request the renewal of their licenses for an additional 20-year period.

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.

MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

Also, 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 natural gas pipeline system) and in the event of bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of Metrogas.

Additionally, the Distribution License provides that Metrogas will not take over its parent company’s debts or grant credits or encumber assets to secure debts or award any other benefit to its parent company’s creditors.

Tariff schemes and tariff renegotiations

With the enactment of the 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 tariffs based on any foreign index, including the “U.S. PPI” established under the regulatory framework, and the process 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 MINEM and the Ministry of Finance for the Adjustment of the Natural Gas Distribution License (“Comprehensive Memorandum of Agreement”), which set out the conditions to adjust the Distribution License and a series of guidelines for 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 Minute, 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 RTI 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 RTI 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 aforementioned, 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.

On December 23, 2019, Law No. 27,541 (“Solidarity Law”) was published, 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 RTI and authorized the PEN to administratively intervene the ENARGAS for the 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.

MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

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, 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, 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 commencement of the RTI (see Note 35.e)).

ENARGAS, through several resolutions, approved the transition tariff schemes to be applied by Metrogas until the rates resulting from the RQT came into force in accordance with the provisions of Decree No. 55/2023.

On April 30, 2025, ENARGAS Resolution No. 257/2025 was published, which approved: (i) the RQT corresponding to Metrogas; (ii) the segmentation of residential users; (iii) the investment plans for the five-year period 2025 - 2030; and (iv) the initial tariff scheme and the schemes of rates and charges corresponding to Metrogas effective as from May 1, 2025. The increase expected as a result of the RQT process will be effective in 31 consecutive monthly increases, which recognizes a cost for the deferral at a real weighted average cost of the capital employed rate in pesos of 7.64% and establishes that the increase in distribution tariffs for May 2025 applicable to residential users and general service customers will be 3%. The application of the remaining increase derived from the RQT will be completed in the remaining 30 installments, plus the recognition of the cost of the aforementioned deferral.

On June 5, 2025, SE Resolution No. 241/2025 was published, which established that the transportation and distribution tariffs will be adjusted on a monthly basis according to the variations in the indexes established by ENARGAS in the RQT, which correspond to the variation in equal parts of the IPC and the Internal Wholesale Price Index (“IPIM” by its acronym in Spanish) published by the INDEC.

On June 6, 2025, ENARGAS Resolution No. 363/2025 was published, which approved: (i) the methodology for the monthly adjustment of tariffs; and (ii) the tariff charts to be applied by Metrogas effective as from June 6, 2025.

ENARGAS, through several resolutions, approved the tariff schemes to be applied by Metrogas on a monthly basis within the framework of the RQT in accordance with the provisions of ENARGAS Resolution No. 363/2025.

Procedure for the compensation of the lower revenues received by distributors from their users

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. Also, 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.

MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

On January 31, 2025, SE Resolution No. 24/2025 repealed as from February 1, 2025 MINEM Resolution No. 508-E/2017 and unified the compensation mechanisms for lower revenues received as a consequence of the application of incentive programs involving bonuses on the price of natural gas in the PIST. The amounts to be compensated will be deducted from the amounts to be paid by distributors to natural gas producers and will be directly compensated by the SE through the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

Decree No. 943/2025 (see Note 35.c.4)) repeals the current regulations that created the social tariff benefit program for residential users with lower payment capacity.

Note from ENARGAS related to YPF’s equity interest in Metrogas

On December 28, 2016, Metrogas received a Note from ENARGAS, requesting to adjust Metrogas’ equity structure in 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 equity 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 is pending resolution.

35.c.4) Targeted Energy Subsidy Scheme (“SEF”, by its acronym in Spanish)

On January 2, 2026, Decree No. 943/2025 was published, introducing the following amendments:

 

  (i)

It unifies energy subsidies under national jurisdiction, creating the new SEF regime with the objective of providing vulnerable residential users with access to essential energy consumption, including natural gas, among others.

 

  (ii)

It eliminates the segmentation of residential users provided for in ENARGAS Resolution No. 257/2025 and establishes the unification of their benefits into a single category.

 

  (iii)

It established general subsidies to be applied to the Uniform Annual Price of natural gas (“PAU”) to be transferred to the tariff of beneficiaries for consumption from the effective date of the SEF. It also establishes additional subsidies for natural gas consumption for the year 2026.

 

  (iv)

The current regulations on social tariffs are repealed.

 

  (v)

As of the implementation of the SEF, the subsidies will apply exclusively to the annualized weighted average cost of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 price, while no subsidies will apply to the supply cost derived from the LNG regasification or new natural gas contracts entered into outside the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

The Decree gradually reinforces incentives for energy saving and conservation of natural resources by all households in the country, while advancing a targeted application of energy subsidies under national jurisdiction.

The SE, as the SEF enforcement authority, is empowered to issue the regulations and administrative acts necessary for the implementation of the criteria established in Decree No. 943/2025 and the restructuring of the subsidy regime.

35.d) Regulatory framework associated with electric power generation

The Group generates thermal conventional electrical energy and renewable energy through YPF EE and CT Barragán.

The basic regulatory framework for Argentina’s electricity sector is laid down under Law No. 15,336 of 1960, as amended by Law No. 24,065 of 1991, and regulated by Decrees No. 1,398/1992 and No. 186/1995 (collectively the “Regulatory Framework”). This Regulatory Framework is supplemented by SE regulations regarding generation and commercialization of electric power, including former SEE Resolution No. 61/1992. Also, in terms of generation of electric power from renewable sources, the Regulatory Framework is supplemented with specific regulations issued to promote their development (see “Renewable energies” section).

Law No. 24,065 implemented the privatization of state-owned companies in the electric power sector and divided the industry vertically into 4 categories: (i) generation; (ii) transmission; (iii) distribution; and (iv) demand. Also, the law organized the WEM (see “WEM” section), where generators of electric power are one of its players.

Under Law No. 24,065, the generation of electric power is defined as an activity of public interest developed in a competitive market. Generators of electric power from a thermal source (that is, generation by natural gas, petroleum liquids such as diesel and fuel oil, or coal), and from a renewable non-hydraulic source, do not require any concession from the state to operate. However, transmission and distribution activities are regulated as public services and hence are subject to concessions granted by the Argentine Government.

In turn, the provinces can regulate the electrical systems within their relevant territories, being their enforcement authority. However, if a participant of the provincial electrical sector connects to the Argentine Electricity Grid (“SADI”, by its acronym in Spanish), it must also meet federal regulations.

ENRE is the agency regulating, auditing and controlling the electric power industry.

On July 7, 2025, Decree No. 450/2025 was published, which approves the following amendments to the Regulatory Framework associated with electric power generation: (i) maximum competition and free contracting is guaranteed to generators; (ii) supply contracts will be freely negotiated between the parties; (iii) the figure of “storer” is introduced as the owner of energy storage facilities; (iv) the figure of “free user” is introduced, who, together with large users, may contract independently and for own consumption the energy supply; (v) allows the PEN to authorize generators, distributors and/or large users to build, at their exclusive cost and to satisfy their own needs, a line and/or extension of the transmission grid, which will not provide a public transportation service; and (vi) the extensions of the SADI may be of free initiative and at the own risk of whoever executes them.

CAMMESA

CAMMESA is responsible for SADI’s National Dispatch of Loads. CAMMESA’s main function is the technical and administrative coordination of electric power supply and demand within a real-time operation system, which includes determining the production schedule of all generation plants of the system in order to balance production with demand. CAMMESA also collects payments from all WEM agents and purchases and provides natural gas to generators, pursuant to the provisions of former SE Resolution No. 95/2013, Article 8, as amended by Resolution No. 12/2019 issued by the Ministry of Productive Development.

On January 28, 2025, SE Resolution No. 21/2025 was published, which, among other issues, provided that generators are authorized to make their fuel purchases, and their own fuels valued at the reference price and accepted in the Variable Cost of Production (“CVP” by its acronym in Spanish) statements will be recognized. Also, spot generators will be able to manage their own fuel and CAMMESA will continue to act as fuel supplier of last resort in the event that the spot generator opted not to do so.

MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

On October 21, 2025, SE Resolution No. 400/2025 was published, which approved the “Rules for the Standardization of the WEM and its Progressive Adaptation”, which detail among others the modifications for the management of fuels, the determination of prices and the operation of the term market and the spot market, as from November 1, 2025.

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 considering 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 between projections and prevailing market conditions generate differences between distributors’ energy purchases at 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 power energy generation sector.

On February 26, 2020, SE 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.

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.

35.f) Incentive programs for hydrocarbon production

35.f.1) Incentive programs for natural gas production

With the purpose of increasing production and the offer of natural gas in the domestic market, considering the Argentina’s energy trade balance deficit, the Argentine Government implemented several programs to stimulate natural gas domestic production:

Plan for the Promotion of Argentine Natural Gas Production - Supply and Demand Scheme 2020-2024 (“Plan GasAr 2020-2024”)

On November 16, 2020, Decree No. 892/2020 was published, which approved the Plan GasAr 2020-2024, mainly aimed at: encouraging investments in natural gas production to meet demand requirements with domestic production; generating long-term certainty in the production and distribution sectors; ensuring the supply of the priority demand and the thermoelectric generation segment; and establishing a transparent, open and competitive system for the formation of natural gas prices.

The Plan GasAr 2020-2024, initially effective for a 4-year term, will be implemented through the execution of individual contracts between natural 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. Also, 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 end-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.

Additionally, 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 production 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 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.

On December 16, 2020, SE Resolution No. 391/2020 (supplemented by SE Resolution No. 447/2020) was published, 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 30 Mm3/d). From the total committed volume, 56% will be used to cover the demand of power plants through CAMMESA and the remaining 44% will be used to supply distributors’ priority demand.

On March 4, 2021, AFIP General Resolution No. 4,939/2021 was published, 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 such annex.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has received compensations from the National Government for an accumulated total amount of 483.

Plan for Reinsurance and Promotion of Federal Hydrocarbon Production Domestic Self-Sufficiency, Exports, Imports Substitution and the Expansion of the Transportation System for all Hydrocarbon Basins in the Country 2023-2028 (“Plan GasAr 2023-2028”)

On November 4, 2022, Decree No. 730/2022 was published, 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 buyers, ensuring free price formation and price transparency under Plan GasAr 2023-2028, 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.

On December 23, 2022, SE Resolution No. 860/2022 was published, which established: (i) the approval of the national public tender called by Resolution SE No. 770/2022; (ii) the extension of the delivery commitments undertaken by producers under the Plan GasAr 2020-2024 for the supply of distribution and sub-distribution licensees, ENARSA and CAMMESA, from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2028 for a volume of up to 20,900,000 m3/d; and (iii) the award of natural gas volumes to suppliers. Under this resolution the Company was awarded an annual volume of natural gas supply corresponding to the Neuquina basin of up to 965,000 m3/d (“Base Gas January”) and a natural gas volume in the winter period of up to 3,250,000 m3/d (“Peak Gas 2024”) under the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

On September 27, 2023, SE Resolution No. 799/2023 was published, awarding the Company monthly volumes of natural gas supply to the Northwest basin for the October 2023 - December 2028 period under the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

On March 27, 2024, SE Resolution No. 41/2024 was published, which approved natural gas prices at the PIST in U.S. dollars corresponding to the awarded volumes entered into within the framework of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 which will be applicable for natural gas consumptions made: (i) from April 1 and until April 30, 2024; (ii) from May 1 and until September 30, 2024; and (iii) from October 1 and until December 31, 2024; and instructed that, for the purpose of transferring the prices of natural gas to the tariff schemes of the public service of distribution of natural gas, ENARGAS issue the tariff schemes that reflect on a monthly basis the variation of the exchange rate of the prices of natural gas to be transferred to the tariff schemes.

On 5 June 2024, SE Resolution No. 93/2024 was published, which approved natural gas prices at the PIST in U.S. dollars corresponding to the awarded volumes entered into within the framework of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 which will be applicable for natural gas consumptions from June 2024 and leaves without effect the instruction to ENARGAS to issue tariff schemes that reflect on a monthly basis the variation of the exchange rate of the prices of natural gas to be transferred to the tariff schemes.

On November 1, 2024, Resolution No. 18/2024 of the Secretariat of Mining and Energy Coordination was published, which modify SE Resolution No. 93/2024 approving the natural gas prices at the PIST in U.S. dollars corresponding to the awarded volumes entered into within the framework of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 which will be applicable for natural gas consumptions from November 2024. See Note 35.c.3).

The SE, through several resolutions, approves the natural gas prices at the PIST to be passed-through to end-users in connection with current contracts entered into within the framework of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

 MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

The SE, through several complementary notes to SE Resolution No. 21/2025, instructed CAMMESA to apply a new order of priority for the dispatch of natural gas and established that the acquisition of said fuel will be carried out through 2 modalities: (i) auctions by CAMMESA for the purchase of spot volumes; and (ii) bids by which generators auction volumes with a maximum reference price based on round 4.2. of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

On December 29, 2025, SE Resolution No. 606/2025 was published, establishing amendments to the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 applicable to producers who voluntarily agree to the transfer of natural gas purchase agreements that ENARSA has with said producers and distributors, establishing a direct relationship between them, without ENARSA’s intermediation. Once the transfer is complete, producers will receive monthly payments for the portion of the injection price charged by the National Government corresponding to the volumes delivered to distributors, through the compensation mechanism established in the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

On January 23, 2026, Decree No. 26/2026 was published, establishing that the National Government may assume responsibility for the monthly payment of a portion of the PAU (see Note 35.c.4)) defined by the SE within the framework of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 in order to reduce the cost of natural gas payable by the end user. The SE will determine, with the assistance of ENARGAS, the amount that may be equal to, less than, or greater than the market price resulting from the auction awards adjusted for the seasonal factor. The difference between the defined PAU and the market price resulting from the auction awards adjusted for the seasonal factor, regardless of whether it is positive or negative, will be borne by the National Government or deducted from the amount payable by it, as appropriate.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has received compensations from the National Government for an accumulated total amount of 80.

35.f.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 low-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.b.3)) established the creation of a trust fund to finance the consumption of LPG in 10, 12, and 15-kg bottles for low-income users having no access to natural gas distribution through networks, thereby granting the SE the power to establish reference 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 reference prices applicable on each ocassion to bottled LPG for residential 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.

On August 19, 2024, SE Resolution No. 216/2024 was published, which resolved to eliminate the maximum prices applicable set for bottled LPG for residential use and replace them with an uncapped reference price system.

On January 24, 2025, SE Resolution No. 15/2025 was published, which established that producers’ sales prices to fractionators must not exceed the export parity price. Likewise, producers must ensure that LPG is continuously and sufficiently available for the domestic market.

 MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

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 Ministry of Economy 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. Several laws and/or decrees were authorized to extend this agreement. In 2025, a new amendment to the Propane Networks Agreement was signed, extending its term until December 31, 2025.

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

Decree No. 929/2013 provides for the creation of an Investment Promotion Regime for the Exploitation of Hydrocarbons (“Promotional Regime”), both for conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon exploitation projects. Inclusion in this Regime may be applied for by holders of hydrocarbon exploration permits and/or exploitation concessions and/or any third parties associated to such holders jointly with them, which have filed an investment project in foreign currency of at least 1,000, computed as of the date the project was filed, to be invested during the first 5 years of the project (this amount was modified in 2014 by Law No. 27,007 and reduced to 250).

The following are the main benefits established for entities reached by this regime: (i) they will be entitled, under the terms of Law No. 17,319, and from the fifth successive year counted since the commencement of their respective projects, to freely sell to foreign markets 20% of their production of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons produced under the said projects, with a 0% export duty, should these be applicable; (ii) they will be entitled to free availability of 100% of any foreign currency obtained from the export of the hydrocarbons mentioned in the preceding item; and (iii) for periods where national production fails to meet domestic supply needs under the terms of Article 6 of Law No. 17,319, entities included in the regime will be entitled to obtain, from fifth year following the approval and commencement of their respective projects with respect to the percentage of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons produced under such projects available for export as mentioned herein above, a price not lower that the reference export price, which will be determined without computing the incidence of export duties otherwise applicable. See Note 35.j), “Investment Promotion Regime for the Exploitation of Hydrocarbons - Decree No. 929/2013” section.

35.g) Investment incentive programs

Large Investment Incentive Regime (“RIGI”)

The Bases Law (see Note 35.l)) created the RIGI, regulated by Decree No. 749/2024 published on August 23, 2024 and its amendments, General Resolution No. 1,074/2024 of the Ministry of Economy published on October 22, 2024 and AFIP General Resolution No. 5,590/2024 published on October 23, 2024, which is intended to encourage large investments with tax, customs and exchange benefits, guaranteeing legal certainty and the protection of acquired rights. This regime seeks to encourage investments, promote economic development, create employment and strengthen local production chains.

The RIGI is aimed at investment projects in the forestry industry, tourism, infrastructure, mining, technology, iron and steel, energy and oil and gas sectors, with a minimum investment per sector or subsector or productive stage equal to or greater than a range between US$ 200,000,000 up to US$ 900,000,000 in computable assets, as established by the enforcement authority. Interested parties have 2 years to adhere to the RIGI, submitting and obtaining the approval of an investment plan by the enforcement authority.

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

 

35.  MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

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. The RIGI guarantees tax, customs and foreign exchange regulatory stability for 30 years from accession, protecting investment projects from more burdensome legislative changes.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the following projects of the Group adhered to the RIGI:

 

  -

LNG Project, through our subsidiary Sur Inversiones Energéticas, for the installation of two floating natural gas liquefaction plants to obtain LNG.

 

  -

Vaca Muerta Sur Project, through our associate VMOS, for the construction of a crude oil transportation infrastructure project.

 

  -

El Quemado solar farm, through our joint venture YPF EE, for the construction of a solar farm for electricity generation.

On August 29, 2024, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 8,099 that regulates the exception to the settlement obligation applicable to proceeds from exports of goods and services for the Single Project Vehicle (“VPU”, by its acronym in Spanish) under the RIGI and, among other provisions, establishes additional requirements for such VPUs to access to the Foreign Exchange Market for outflows of funds. Likewise, it provides that direct investment contributions into the VPU made in kind by means of the delivery of capital goods qualify as having been transferred into Argentina and settled through the Foreign Exchange Market for purposes of the RIGI, to the extent said conditions are met. Communication “A” 8,099 also clarifies that the RIGI foreign exchange benefits cannot be accumulated with other foreign exchange incentives, whether existing or to be created in the future.

On February 19, 2026, Decree No. 105/2026 was published, introducing amendments to the RIGI mainly for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation projects registered in the RIGI in accordance with the Basic Law. The most relevant aspects are as follows:

 

  -

The possibility of accessing the RIGI is extended for one year, until July 2027.

 

  -

It regulates a specific regime for activities related to the hydrocarbon industry that meet certain conditions defined in said decree.

 MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

35.h) Tax regulations

35.h.1) Income tax

Law No. 27,468, published on December 4, 2018, established that the inflation adjustment procedure for taxation purposes will be applicable for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2018. In the first, second and third fiscal years since it became effective, this procedure shall be applicable if the variation in the CPI, estimated from the beginning to the end of each of those years exceeds 55%, 30% and 15%, for the first, second and third year of application, respectively. From the fourth year, i.e., fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2021, the procedure will apply to the extent the CPI variation accumulated over 36 months prior to the applicable fiscal year end exceeds 100%. Considering that the CPI as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 exceeds the mentioned parameters, the Group applied the tax adjustment for inflation in its income tax estimate.

On June 16, 2021 Law No. 27,630 was published, introducing the following amendments to the Income Tax Law:

 

  -

The income tax rate for companies and permanent establishments, applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, was modified. To such end, it introduced a scale of rates ranging from 25% and 35% to be applied according to the taxpayer’s accumulated taxable net profit, and such amounts will be adjusted annually according to the CPI.

 

  -

The distribution of dividends and profits to individuals, undivided estates and foreign beneficiaries is subject to a 7% rate.

Income tax pre-payment for taxpayers with extraordinary income

On July 21, 2023, AFIP General Resolution No. 5,391/2023 was published, establishing a one-time extraordinary pre-payment on account of the income tax for taxpayers which, in their tax returns for fiscal year 2022 or 2023, as appropriate, meet the following conditions: (i) have reported a taxable income, without applying tax loss carryforwards, of at least 600 million of pesos; and (ii) have not determined any income tax. This extraordinary pre-payment is estimated by applying 15% on the taxable income of the fiscal year immediately preceding that in which the pre-payment is to be recorded, without considering tax loss carryforwards.

Budget Law 2023 - Deferral of tax adjustment for inflation

On December 1, 2022, Law No. 27,701 was published, which introduced changes to the Income Tax Law, establishing the possibility of deferring the tax adjustment for inflation contemplated under such law corresponding to the first and second fiscal years beginning in January 2022, allowing to record, at taxpayer’s choice, one third of the adjustment in such fiscal year and the remaining two thirds in equal parts in the immediately following two periods. This benefit will only be admissible for subjects whose investment in the purchase, construction, manufacturing or final import of fixed assets, except automobiles, in each of the 2 fiscal periods immediately following the calculation of the respective first third, is equal or higher than 30,000 million of pesos.

35.h.2) Personal assets tax - Substitute taxpayer

Individuals and foreign entities, and undivided estates, regardless of whether they are domiciled or located in Argentina or abroad, are subject to a personal assets tax of 0.50% of the value of any shares or ADS issued by Argentine entities. The tax is levied on the Argentine issuers of such shares or ADS, such as YPF, which must pay this tax as substitutes for the respective shareholders and is based on the equity value (following the equity method), or the carrying amount of the shares derived from the last financial statements as of December 31 of each year. Under the Personal Assets Tax Law, the Group is entitled to seek reimbursement of the tax paid by the shareholders subject to such tax, using the reimbursement method the Group considers appropriate.

35.h.3) Fuels tax

From the existence of market prices for petroleum products following the deregulation of the hydrocarbon sector, Law No. 23,966 established a tax on liquid fuel transfers, which levied certain types of fuels, replacing the former regime based on regulated prices. Since August 2003, the calculation method originally consisting of a fixed value per liter according to the respective type of fuel was replaced by a rate on the average sales price.

Later, under the Law No. 27,430 (“Tax Reform”), the new mechanism was modified reestablishing the fixed amounts per liter, which are adjusted quarterly based on variations in the CPI.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025, 2024 AND 2023

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

36. BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (cont.)

 

Considering the rights Chevron might exercise in the future over CHNC to have access to 50% of the exploitation concession of Loma Campana and other supplementary rights, and as guarantee for those rights and other obligations under the Project Investment Agreement (“LC Agreement”) that the Company and Chevron signed on July 16, 2013, a pledge was created in favor of Chevron over the shares of an affiliate of YPF that indirectly holds YPF’s interest in CHNC.

In this context and considering that YPF is the operator of Loma Campana Area, the parties executed a Project Obligations, Indemnities and Guarantee Agreement under which the Company makes certain representations and guarantees in relation to the LC Agreement. This guarantee relating to the operation and management of the Project does not include the project’s performance or the return on investment, both of which are at Chevron’s exclusive risk.

During fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, YPF and CHNC carried out transactions, among others, the purchases of crude oil by YPF for 368, 508 and 453, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025, 2024 AND 2023

(Amounts expressed in millions of United States dollars, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in United States dollars, and as otherwise indicated)

37. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND SIMILAR OBLIGATIONS

 

 

Retirement plan

Effective March 1, 1995, the Group has established a retirement plan, through which it makes contributions to an investment fund for an amount equivalent to the amount contributed by each adhering member, between 3% and 10% of their monthly compensation, and has no legal or implied obligation to make additional contributions in the event that the mutual fund does not have sufficient assets to meet the benefits.

The plan members will receive from the Group the contributed funds before retirement only in the case of voluntary termination under certain circumstances, dismissal without cause or in case of death or incapacity. The Group has the right to discontinue this plan at any time, without incurring termination costs.

The amount charged to expense related to the Retirement Plan was 4, 4 and 3 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

 

Short-term benefit programs

The Group has short-term benefit cash payment programs applicable to certain employees. These programs are mainly based on the fulfillment of vice-presidency and unit objectives and may be increased based on individual performance. They are calculated considering the remuneration of each employee, the number of salaries assigned per salary category and certain key factors related to the fulfillment of these objectives. As of 2024, a new variable compensation program based on the Group’s results (“CVR”, by its acronym in Spanish) was implemented, to be paid whenever these results are positive.

The amount charged to expense related to the short-term benefit programs was 189, 154 and 111 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

 

Share-based benefit plans

From the fiscal year 2013 the Company has decided to implement a share-based benefit plan aimed at aligning the performance of certain executive-level employees, managers and key or critical technical knowledgeable personnel, with the objectives of the strategic plan of the Company. This plan, organized in annual programs, consists in giving participation, through shares of the Company, to each selected employee subject to continued service for the period defined in the plan (period of up to 3 years from the grant date, “service period”), being this the only necessary condition to access the agreed final retribution.

Information related to the evolution of the quantity of shares, of the share-based benefit plans at the end of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, is as follows:

Plan 2020 - 2023

At its meeting held on November 10, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the creation of a new shared-based benefit plan for 2020-2023 effective for 3 years from July 1, 2020.

The fair value of the share on the original grant date amounted to 34.35.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the plans outstanding as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 amounts to 1.9, 2.0, and 1.7 years, respectively.

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 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, and its design and implementation were advised by an international consulting firm specializing in human resources management.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there are 4.6 million number of PSARs outstanding with and a weighted average fair value of US$ 20.8 per PSARs. The amount charged to expense in relation with Value Generation Plan was 25 and 33, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, weighted average fair value was US$ 28.6 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.

Note 2.b.11) describes the accounting policies for share-based benefit plans. Repurchases of treasury shares are disclosed in Note 31.

38. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Asset exchange between YPF and Pluspetrol S.A. (“Pluspetrol”)

On January 22, 2026, the Company entered into an asset exchange agreement with Pluspetrol, whereby: (i) YPF agreed to transfer 44.44% of shares in VMI to Pluspetrol; and (ii) Pluspetrol assigns to YPF 50% of its interest in the “Aguada Villanueva,” “Las Tacanas,” and “Meseta Buena Esperanza” exploitation concessions, which corresponds to 100% of Pluspetrol’s interest in those blocks. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, this agreement is subject to the fulfillment of closing conditions, including the issuance of a Provincial Decree authorizing the transfer of these blocks.

Issuance of ON

On January 27, 2026, the Company issued Additional Class XXXIV NO in the international market, maturing in January 2034, for a nominal amount of 550. The NO were issued at a price of 100.789%, resulting in a yield of 8.10%. The principal will be amortized in 3 consecutive annual installments of 30% in January 2032, 30% in January 2033, and the remaining 40% in January 2034.

On February 19, 2026, the Company issued Additional Class XLII NO in the local market, maturing in March 2029, for a nominal amount of 161. The NO were issued at a price of 102.86%, resulting in a yield of 6.50%. The principal will be amortized in a single installment upon maturity.

Acquisition of interest in the “Bandurria Sur,” “Bajo del Toro,” and “Bajo del Toro Norte” blocks

On February 1, 2026, YPF entered into a share purchase and sale agreement with Vista Energy S.A.B. de C.V. (“Vista”), whereby, subject to the fulfillment of closing conditions set forth in such agreement, YPF will acquire 16.3% of the shares and capital stock of Equinor Argentina S.A.U., owner of 30% of the “Bandurria Sur” exploitation concession.

Likewise, on the same date, YPF entered into an asset purchase agreement for the acquisition from Vista of a 15% stake in the “Bajo del Toro” and “Bajo del Toro Norte” exploitation concessions.

The consideration for both transactions amounts to 163, subject to a price adjustment at the closing of the transaction and a contingent price defined in said agreements.

If the conditions precedent are met, YPF will acquire: (i) indirectly, through its 16.3% stake in Equinor Argentina S.A.U., a 4.9% stake in the “Bandurria Sur” block, which, added to its current direct interest, will total 44.9% in that block; and (ii ) a 15% interest in the “Bajo del Toro” and “Bajo del Toro Norte” blocks, which, added to its current interest, will total 65% in those blocks.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, there have been no other significant subsequent events whose effect on Group’s financial position, results of operations or their disclosure in notes to the financial statements for the fiscal year ended as of December 31, 2025, should have been considered in such financial statements under IFRS.

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors’ meeting and authorized to be issued on February 26, 2026.

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, 2025 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 of each year.

Additionally, some additional information required by the LGS and/or CNV regulations has been included.

2.b) Material accounting policies

2.b.1) Basis of preparation and presentation

Functional currency

YPF’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar, which has been determined pursuant to the guidelines set out in IAS 21 “The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates”.

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 such date and the exchange differences arising from such translation are recognized in the “Net financial results” line item in the statement of comprehensive income for the period in which they arise; and (ii) non-monetary 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.

The effects of translating the results and financial position of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures with functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are recorded in the “Other comprehensive income” line item in the statement of comprehensive income for the period in which they arise.

In the event of total or partial disposal of a subsidiary (resulting in loss of control), an associate or a joint venture whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, the translation differences accumulated in the “Other comprehensive income” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity are reclassified to profit or loss for the period. In the event of partial disposal of a subsidiary not resulting in loss of control, the proportionate share of the accumulated translation differences is reclassified to the “non-controlling interest” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.

Presentation currency

The information included in these consolidated financial statements is presented in pesos, as provided in the LGS and the CNV rules.

The translation to the presentation currency (pesos) of the Group’s financial statements in functional currency (U.S. dollar) is made at the end of each period using the following procedures:

 

  -

Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rate of each reporting period.

 

  -

Profit or loss items are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction (or, for practical reasons and when the exchange rate has not changed significantly, at the average exchange rate of each month).

 

  -

Any exchange differences resulting from the above are recognized in the “Other comprehensive income” line item in the statement of comprehensive income for the period in which they arise.

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

Under IAS 29 “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies”, the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy have to be restated in terms of the measuring unit current (“inflation-adjusted currency”) at the end of the reporting period.

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; and Law No. 27,468 published in the BO on December 4, 2018, established that annual, for interim and special periods financial statements 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 exchange rate at the closing date of their financial statements. The effect of restatement of comparative figures, which are presented as amounts in inflation-adjusted currency in the financial statements of the previous fiscal year, and which are not adjusted to reflect subsequent variations in general levels of prices or exchange rates are recognized in the “Result from net monetary position in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures” line under the “Other comprehensive income” line item in the statement of 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 liabilities, according to the activities’ operating cycle.

Current assets and liabilities include assets and liabilities that are realized or settled in the 12-month period following the end of the reporting 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, except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 2.b.7))

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.

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

 

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 issuance date of the most recent financial statements of certain companies of the Group may differ from the issuance 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 Y-TEC (51%), Metrogas (70%) and OPESSA (99.99%) (see Note 1). The Company concluded that there are no significant non-controlling interests requiring the disclosure of additional information, as set out in IFRS 12 “Disclosure of interests in other entities”.

Joint operations

Interests in JO and other agreements 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 in accordance with IFRS 11, and are presented in the statement of financial position and in the statement of comprehensive income, depending on their specific nature. The main JO and other agreements are described in Note 30.

Business combinations

The Group analyzes whether the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a purchase transaction qualify as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3 “Business combinations”. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method, which requires, among others, the recognition and measurement at fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest. The excess of the consideration transferred over such fair value is recognized as goodwill and the shortfall as a gain in profit or loss for the period.

In a business combination achieved in stages, the carrying amount of the previous interest in the acquiree is measured at fair value at the acquisition date, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in profit or loss for the period. Likewise, the translation differences accumulated in the “Other comprehensive income” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity recognized by the previous interest in the acquiree are reclassified to profit or loss for the period.

When the assets acquired are not a business, the Group accounts for the transaction as the acquisition of an asset.

2.b.2) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognized at cost. After initial recognition, the asset is carried at its cost less amortization and any impairment loss, in accordance with the cost model under IAS 38 “Intangible assets”.

The estimated useful life and the amortization method of each class of intangible 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, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

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 conditions established in IFRIC 12 “Service concession arrangements” as intangible assets (see Note 35.a.1)). These assets are amortized using the straight-line method throughout the term of said concessions.

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

 

Hydrocarbon transportation concessions that do not meet the conditions established in IFRIC 12, mainly those concessions granted after Decree No. 115/2019, are classified in the “Property, plant and equipment” line item in the statement of financial position (see Note 35.a.1)).

Exploration rights and hydrocarbon resources

Exploration rights and hydrocarbon resources include all the activities required for the search for hydrocarbons, costs associated with the acquisition of exploration permits (see Note 35.a.1)) and acquired unproven hydrocarbon resources.

The Group classifies exploration rights and hydrocarbon resources as intangible assets in compliance with IFRS 6 “Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources”. These assets are not amortized as they are related to investments in fields in evaluation stage.

Exploration costs (geological and geophysical expenses, maintenance costs and other costs relating to the exploration activity), excluding exploratory drilling costs that are capitalized in the “Exploratory drilling in progress” account of the “Property, plant and equipment” line item in the statement of financial position (see Note 2.b.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 reclassified to the “Mining property, wells and related equipment” account of the “Property, plant and equipment” line item 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 software 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

Property, plant and equipment are initially recognized at cost. 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. After initial recognition, the asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses, in accordance with the cost model under IAS 16 “Property, plant and equipment”.

For assets requiring long-term construction to bring them to the conditions required for their use, borrowing costs related to third-party financing are capitalized until the asset is ready to be used, in accordance with the Group’s average 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 “Mining property, wells and related equipment” account of the “Property, plant and equipment” line item in the statement of financial position. Costs associated with exploration permits are classified as “Exploration rights and hydrocarbon resources” of the “Intangible assets” line item in the statement of financial position.

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 “Exploratory drilling in progress” account of the “Property, plant and equipment” line item in the statement of financial 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. As of December 31, 2025, the Group has no significant exploratory well costs under evaluation for a period longer than 1 year.

Drilling costs of development wells and dry development wells, and installation costs associated with the development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized in the “Mining property, wells and related equipment” account of the “Property, plant and equipment” line item in the statement of financial position.

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 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 gas reserves.

Depreciations are adjusted based on changes in the estimates of proved oil and gas reserves after the date of disclosure of such changes. The Group revises the estimates of oil and gas reserves at least once a year, see Note 2.c) “Oil and gas reserves” section.

Land is classified separately from buildings or facilities that may be located on it, and as it is deemed to have an indefinite useful life, it is not subject to depreciation.

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 recognized pursuant to the guidelines set out in IFRIC 1 “Changes in existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities”, which indicates that changes in liabilities will be added to, or deducted from the cost of the asset corresponding 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 16 “Leases”. The definition of lease is mainly related to the concept of control. In accordance with IFRS 16, the Group distinguishes between lease contracts and service contracts on the basis of whether an identified asset is under the customer’s control, which exists if the customer has the right to: (i) obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset, and ii) direct the use of the asset.

Lease liabilities are measured as the aggregate amount of future lease payments discounted at the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate (“discount 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 so-called “in-substance” fixed payments, applying, 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 of asset 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 Group’s 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.

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 CGU’s assets pro rata to their carrying amounts, which are taken into 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.

In compliance with IFRS 6, the recoverability of exploration rights and hydrocarbon resources recognized in the “Intangible assets” line item in the statement of financial position not assigned to a CGU is assessed separately when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of those assets may exceed their recoverable amount and/or prior to their reclassification to the “Mining property, wells and related equipment” account of the “Property, plant and equipment” line item in the statement of financial position. See Note 2.b.2).

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 an 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.

The assessment of particular circumstances and the variables used in cash flow projections for calculating value in use 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. According to this method, the investment is initially recognized at cost in the “Investments in associates and joint ventures” line item in the statement of financial position, and its carrying amount increases or decreases to recognize the investor’s interest in the profit or loss of the associate or joint venture after the acquisition date, which is reflected in the “Income from equity interests in associates and joint ventures” line item in the statement of comprehensive income. Additionally, its carrying amount increases or decreases 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 when the parties have rights over the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the joint arrangement, see Note 2.b.1) “Joint operations” section.

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 most recent 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) “Consolidation policies” section.

Interest in companies with negative equity are presented under the “Other liabilities” line item in the statement of financial position.

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. In the event of recognition of impairment in value or recovery of an impairment loss recognized in previous periods, it is recognized in the “Income from equity interests in associates and joint ventures” line item in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.b.7) Financial instruments

The Group’s classification of financial assets is determined by the business model for the management of such assets and the characteristics of contractual cash flows.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the following conditions are met: (i) the objective of the Group’s business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows; and (ii) 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. Profit or loss arising from derecognition, modifications, reclassifications at fair value through profit or loss, impairment in value, or from applying the effective interest rate are recognized in the “Net financial results” line item in 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 from the sale of these assets are recognized in the “Net financial results” line item in the statement of comprehensive 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.

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

 

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 recognized in the “Net financial results” line item in the statement of comprehensive income, except for interest 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 or loss in the “Provision for doubtful receivables” account in operating profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income, and applying the simplified approach allowed under IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” for receivables.

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.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when they have extinguished, i.e. when the obligation has been paid or canceled, 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 account overdrafts, which are presented as loans.

2.b.10) Shareholder’s equity

The “Capital” and “Treasury shares” accounts in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity are made up of shares of common stock held at nominal value. The difference between the subscribed amount of capital increases and the nominal value of issued shares is presented in the “Issuance premiums” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.

When the Company buys its own shares to comply with equity-settled share-based benefit plans, the cost incurred is presented in the “Acquisition cost of treasury shares” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The amount accrued from share-based benefit plans is presented in the “Share-based benefit plans” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The difference between such cost incurred and the amount accrued from share-based benefit plans is presented in the “Share trading premium” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. See Note 2.b.11).

In accordance with Section 12.c), Article 3, Chapter III, Title IV of the CNV rules, the Company applies an accounting policy of classifying and accumulating translation differences generated by retained earnings at the beginning of the fiscal year and period together with the line items originating them in the following accounts: “Legal reserve”, “Reserve for future dividends”, “Reserve for investments” “Reserve for the purchase of treasury shares” and “Retained earnings” (See Note 36.k) “Effect of the translation of the shareholders’ contributions” section). As a result of implementing this accounting policy, the translation of the functional currency into a different presentation currency does not change the form of measuring the underlying elements, preserving both retained earnings and owners’ contributions in the functional currency in which they are generated. In line with this, the “Other comprehensive income” account comprises income and expenses recognized in other comprehensive income as well as transfers from such account to the profit or loss accounts for the fiscal year, reserves or retained earnings, in compliance with the IFRS, and by the application of this accounting policy.

2.b.11) Share-based benefit plans

The Group maintains share-based benefit plans with the characteristics mentioned in Note 37. Such plans are recorded in accordance with the guidelines set out in IFRS 2 “Share-based payments”.

 

  -

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions are recognized as a straight-line expense over the period of service based on the Group’s estimate of the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest considering their fair value at the grant date, with an offsetting credit entry in the “Share-based benefit plans” account in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. At the end of each period, the Group reviews its estimate according to the number of equity instruments it expects will vest based on the grant conditions specified under the respective share-based benefit plan.

 

  -

Cash-settled share-based payment transactions are recognized as a straight-line expense over the period of service based on the Group’s estimate of the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest with an offsetting entry in the “Salaries and social security” line item in the statement of financial position, measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized in net income in the statement of comprehensive income. At the end of each period, the Group reviews its estimate according to the number of equity instruments it expects will vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if applicable, is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.b.12) Revenues

Revenues from contracts with customers

Under IFRS 15 “Revenues from contracts with customers”, the Group identifies the main contracts with customers 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 as the services are effectively provided and in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreements. 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 project 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 as described in Note 25.

Income from National Government incentive programs

Under IAS 20 “Accounting for government grants and disclosure of government assistance”, grants awarded by the National Government are recognized at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and that the conditions attached to the grant will be complied with.

Income from National Government grants are disclosed in the “National Government incentives” line under the “Revenues” line item in the statement of comprehensive income.

In accordance with the requirements set out in IAS 20, the nature and characteristics of National Government grants are described in Notes 35.f) and 36.

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

Non-current assets (or disposal group) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale or disposal transaction rather than through continued use. This condition is considered fulfilled only when the sale or disposal transaction is highly probable and the non-current asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its current condition. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the statement of financial position.

As provided for in IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations”, for the sale transaction to be highly probable the appropriate level of the Company’s Management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group) and an active program to find a buyer and complete such plan must have been actively initiated. Further, the asset (or disposal group) must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its fair value less costs to sell. In addition, the sale transaction should also be expected to meet the conditions to be recognized as a completed sale within 1 year from the date of classification, with the exceptions permitted by IFRS 5, and the activities required to complete the sale plan should indicate that significant changes to the sale plan are unlikely to be made or that it will be canceled.

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

 

An extension of the period required to complete a sale does not prevent an asset (or disposal group) from being classified as held for sale, if the delay is caused by events or circumstances beyond the entity’s control and there is sufficient evidence that the entity remains committed to its plan to sell the asset (or disposal group).

Non-current assets (or disposal group) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the 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 IAS 36 “Impairment of assets”. The Group recognizes an impairment loss of the asset (or disposal group) up to fair value less costs to sell. The Group recognizes a gain for any subsequent increase arising from the measurement of fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any accumulated impairment loss previously recognized. A gain or loss not previously recognized on the date of sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognized at the date of derecognition.

The Group does not depreciate or amortize non-current assets (or disposal group) while classified as held for sale. However, interest and other expenses attributable to liabilities associated with non-current assets (or disposal group) classified as held for sale continue to be recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

The Group considers that an impairment loss indicator exists under IAS 36 when a non-current asset (or disposal group) meets all the requirements of IFRS 5 to be classified as held for sale prior to the approval of the issuance of the financial statements (but not at the end of the reporting period), 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 “Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors”, 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, 2025 and which have been adopted by the Group, if applicable

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 fiscal years 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.

The adoption of the aforementioned amendments has not had effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Standards and interpretations issued by the IASB whose application is not mandatory at the closing date of these consolidated financial statements and 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 early adoption 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.

IFRS 18 “Presentation and disclosure in financial statements”

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1, with the objective of providing better information on the financial performance of entities, improving their comparability, which is applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

IFRS 18 introduces the following information requirements that can be distinguished into 2 main groups:

 

  -

To group income and expenses into 3 defined categories: (i) operating; (ii) financing; and (iii) investing, and include certain defined subtotals, such as the operating result and the result before financing and income tax, with the aim of improving the comparability of the statement of comprehensive income.

 

  -

In the event of including performance measures defined by management, the entity must disclose the reason why said measures are useful to users of financial statements, their method of calculation, a reconciliation between to the most directly comparable subtotal from the statement of comprehensive income, among others.

Additionally, IFRS 18 establishes more detailed guidance on how to organize information within the financial statements and whether it should be provided in the primary financial statements or in the notes, with the aim of improving the grouping of information in the financial statements.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Group is in the process of evaluating the effects of the application of IFRS 18, which it anticipates will be significant with respect to disclosures and changes of presentation in the financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 related to certain issues regarding the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 and the disclosure requirements of IFRS 7, which are applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026:

 

  -

Introduce an accounting policy option for the derecognition of a financial liability when settlement is made through an electronic payment system and certain conditions are met.

 

  -

Clarify on certain assessments that an entity must perform on its financial assets, for example to determine whether a financial instrument contains contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, or whether it also contains covenants of a contingent nature that could significantly change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows.

 

  -

Establish amendments to an entity’s disclosures about investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and the requirement to disclose contractual terms that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows in certain circumstances.

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 9 and IFRS 7 - Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity

In December 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 related to nature-dependent electricity contracts, which are applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026:

 

  -

Clarify the application of the “own-use” requirements: The amendments allow an entity to apply the “own-use” exemption in such contracts, usually long-term contracts, if the entity has been, and expects to be, a net-purchaser of electricity for the contract period. The “own-use” exemption relieves an entity from measuring such contracts at fair value through profit or loss.

 

  -

Permit hedge accounting if these contracts are used as hedge instruments: Contracts that do not meet the “own-use” exemption are accounted for as derivatives and measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

  -

Add new disclosure requirements that allow investors to understand the effect of these contracts on the entity’s financial performance and cash flows.

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 IAS 21 - Translation to a hyperinflationary presentation currency

In November 2025, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 related to the methodology to be applied by entities in the translation of financial statements when the functional currency is different from the presentation currency, which are applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027. These amendments aim to establish clearer and more uniform treatments.

Among other issues, the amendments introduce accounting treatment for a situation that was not previously provided for. Thus, when an entity has a non-hyperinflationary functional currency but must translate its financial statements into a hyperinflationary presentation currency, it must do so at the closing exchange rate at the end of the most recent fiscal year, i.e., both the current year’s information and the comparative information are translated at the closing exchange rate at the end of the current fiscal year. In cases where the presentation currency ceases to be hyperinflationary, the entity applies prospectively the methodology already provided for in IAS 21.

Additionally, an exception is included when an entity whose functional and presentation currency corresponds to a hyperinflationary economy has foreign operations whose functional currency is not hyperinflationary. In these cases, the comparative amounts for these operations are not translated at the current year’s exchange rate, but are restated using the general price index applied to the comparative figures for the previous period, in accordance with IAS 29.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Group is in the process of evaluating the effects of the application of 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 or loss might differ from the estimates and assessments made at the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

The assumptions relating to the future and other key sources of uncertainty about the estimates made for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are described below:

Oil and gas reserves

The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex and is an integral part of the Group’s decision-making process. It requires significant judgments and estimates based on available oil and gas reserves that are estimated using geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data, which implies a degree of uncertainty and depends on certain factors, assumptions and variables used in such estimation, some of which are beyond the control of the Group. The expected economically recoverable oil and gas reserves and resources have been estimated by qualified internal professionals based on accepted practices in the oil and gas industry.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions related to proved oil and gas reserves in accordance with the rules and regulations set out in Rule 4-10 (a) of Regulation S-X of the SEC for the oil and gas industry, which are used for the calculation of depreciations. These proved oil and gas reserves have been estimated by qualified internal professionals and audited by DeGolyer and MacNaughton Corp. (“DeGolyer and MacNaughton”). See Note 2.b.3) “Depreciation methods and useful lives” section.

In addition, as of December 31, 2025, the Group makes reserves and resources estimates within the framework of the Petroleum Resources Management System (“PRMS”). These estimates are consistent with the Company’s management plans with focus on activities and investments in unconventional fields, which considers that one of the drivers on which the YPF’s strategy is based. DeGolyer and MacNaughton, an independent international oil and gas consulting firm, has evaluated YPF’s estimated economically recoverable oil and gas reserves and resources under PRMS, and the results of this assessment do not differ significantly from YPF’s estimates. Such estimates incorporate several factors and assumptions including, but no limited to, expected reservoir performance based on geological, geophysical, and engineering assessments; future production volumes based on historical performance and expected future operating and investment activities; oil and gas future prices and quality differentials; and future development and operating costs.

The Company’s Management believes these factors and assumptions are reasonable based on the information available at the time of preparing our estimates. However, these estimates may change substantially as additional data from ongoing development activities and production performance becomes available and as economic conditions impacting oil and gas prices and costs change.

This estimated volume of oil and gas reserves and resources, which is directly associated with projects, investments and business plans, is used to assess the recoverability of Upstream assets and reflects the reserves and resources that the Group currently intends to develop based on the YPF management’s best estimates of future production volumes .See Note 2.c) “Provision for Impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets” section.

Provisions

The Group’s legal or assumed obligations are recognized, measured and disclosed in compliance with IAS 37 “Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets”. Provisions include both obligations whose occurrence do not depend on future events (as the provision for environmental liabilities and the provision for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations), as well as obligations whose fulfillment depend on the occurrence of a future event that is beyond the Group’s control (as the provision for lawsuits and contingencies).

Except for the provision for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations and the provision for environmental liabilities 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 liabilities, 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 Company believes that the Group’s operations substantially comply with 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 described 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 considered, 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.

The application of tax laws in Argentina requires interpretation and, consequently, involves the application of judgement and is open to challenge by the relevant tax authorities, creating uncertainty. Uncertainty about income tax treatments is established in accordance with IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty regarding income tax treatments” based on an assessment of the range of likely tax outcomes and reflecting the strength of technical arguments. In this regard, an assessment is made as to whether it is appropriate to consider the uncertain tax treatment separately or in conjunction with other uncertain tax treatments that may exist based on the approach that best predicts the resolution of the uncertainty and then assesses whether it is probable that the relevant tax authority will accept the tax treatment or succeed in the ultimate applicable legal instance. Otherwise, if the Group concludes it is not probable that the authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment it reflects the effect of the uncertainty by recording the uncertain tax treatment on the basis of the most likely amount or expected value method, depending on which method the Group expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. In making this assessment, the Group utilizes tax knowledge and expertise from qualified internal professionals and takes into consideration tax advice from external advisors.

Deferred tax assets recognize tax loss carryforwards to the extent their offsetting through future taxable income is probable. In assessing the recognition of deferred tax assets, the Group considers the anticipated reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projections of future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable income depend on the Group’s estimates of future cash flows. To the extent future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from the estimates, the Group’s capacity to realize the recorded net deferred tax assets might be affected.

Also, changes in tax regulations and/or their interpretations may affect such estimates. See Note 18.

Provision for impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets

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).

Measuring the recoverable amount of an asset involves the Group’s estimates on uncertain issues, such as inflation and 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 flow projections. The Group’s estimates are subject to changes as new information becomes available.

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

 

As regards measurement of CGUs that group assets of fields with oil and gas reserves, cash flow projections are used covering the economically productive life of the fields, limited in most cases by the termination of exploitation concessions, agreements or investment contracts. Cash flow projections are determined using the Group’s best estimate of oil and 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. The estimates of reserves and resources used in cash flow projections for the calculation of value in use reflect the reserves and resources that the Group expects to develop. In addition, the estimated future cash flow projections include a portion of unproved reserves and resources based on the specific risks of the CGUs. The recoverable amount of CGUs that group assets of fields with oil and gas reserves is determined using a combination of inputs including proved reserves, a certain volume of unproved reserves, a certain volume of contingent resources, and production volumes. See Note 2.c) “Oil and gas reserves” section.

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 each group of assets. Likewise, cash flow projections until the end of an asset’s useful life are estimated by extrapolating 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.

2.d) Comparative Information

Amounts and other financial information corresponding to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 presented in these financial statements for comparison purposes arise from the consolidated financial statements ended December 31, 2024. Likewise, changes have been made to the comparative figures in Notes 5 and 25 as mentioned in Note 5.

Additionally, the Group has changed the presentation of exchange differences generated by deferred tax classifying these items as deferred tax expense (income) in accordance with IAS 12 “Income taxes”. Previously, these exchange differences were presented in the “Other exchange differences, net” line item under “Other financial results” in the statement of comprehensive income and, from this fiscal year, they are presented in the “Income tax” line item in the statement of comprehensive income. The purpose of this change is to provide more useful information and improve the comparability of the Group’s financial statements with its peers. The comparative information has been restated by reclassifying a gain of 139,593 and 567,804 from “Other financial results” line item to “Income tax” line item in the statement of comprehensive income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively. This change had no effect on the Group’s statements of financial position, statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, cash flows, operating profit or loss and net profit or loss.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

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.

The following provides a description of the principal risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s strategy, performance, results of operations and financial condition. The risks facing the businesses, set out below, do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.

The sensitivity analysis of market risks included below are based on a change in one factor while holding all other factors constant. In practice this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the factors may be correlated, for example, changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency rates.

Sensitivity analyses provide only a limited, point-in-time view. The actual impact on the Group’s financial instruments may differ significantly from the impact shown in the sensitivity analysis.

 

 

Market risk management

The market risk to which the Group is exposed is the possibility that the valuation of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities as well as certain expected cash flows may be affected by changes in exchange rates, interest rates or certain other price variables.

The following is a description of these risks as well as a detail of the extent to which the Group is exposed and a sensitivity analysis of possible changes in each of the relevant market variables.

Exchange rate risk

The value of financial assets and liabilities denominated in a currency different from the Company’s functional currency is 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).

The following table provides a breakdown of the effect that a variation of 10% in the exchange rates corresponding to the peso against the U.S. dollar would have on the Group’s net income, mainly considering the exposure of financial assets and liabilities, excluding non-monetary items and financial instruments denominated in the functional currency of YPF and its subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2025:

 

     Appreciation (+) / depreciation (-)
of exchange rate
     Profit (loss)  

Impact on profit or loss before income tax

                  +10%                   131,125   
     -10%         (131,125)   

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the exchange rate of the pesos against the U.S. dollars showed a 41% variation.

Likewise, based on the requirements for access to the Foreign Exchange Market established by BCRA, the Group maintains an active strategy in the management of liquidity, using several financial instruments and derivatives, if considered appropriate (see Note 35.j)).

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 costs 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, if considered appropriate, using derivative financial instruments.

(3)

Includes principal and interest.

Balances for financial liabilities at variable interest rate represent 5% of the total as of December 31, 2025, and mainly include exports pre-financing, imports financing and financial loans with local and international entities. The principal at variable interest rate are mainly subject to the fluctuations in SOFR plus a spread between 0.9% and 6.8%.

In relation to variable interest rate financial assets, they include trade receivables, which have a low exposure to interest rate risk.

The table below shows the estimated impact on net income that an increase or decrease of 100 basis points (“b.p.”) in the variable interest rates would have as of December 31, 2025:

Price risk

The Group is exposed to its own price risk for investments in financial instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 6). The Group continuously monitors the evolution of the prices in these investments for significant fluctuations. As of December 31, 2025, the Group does not have material derivative financial instruments to hedge the risks associated with commodity price fluctuations as well as the price risk inherent to investments in financial assets, although it could use such instruments in the future if considered appropriate.

As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss amounts to 969,608.

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, 2025:

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)

The Group’s pricing policy regarding the sale of fuels contemplates several factors such as international and local crude 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, 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 price changes), and which may therefore lead the Group to not be able to maintain such relationship, if volatility and uncertainty in international crude oil and their by-products prices and exchange rate fluctuations continue into the future. In 2025, crude 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 long-term obligations. The Group intends to align the maturity profile of its financial debt to be related to its ability to generate enough cash flows to finance the projected expenditures for each year. As of December 31, 2025, the availability of liquidity reached 1,352,703, considering cash of 287,600 and other liquid financial assets of 1,065,103 included in the “Cash and cash equivalents” line item in the statement of financial position (see Note 16). Additionally, the Group has other investments freely available for 380,569 included in the “Investments in financial assets” line item in the statement of financial position (see Note 15).

As of December 31, 2025, working capital amounts to (1,400,416) generated mainly by the financing of investment plans, which is monitored continuously by the Group. Uncommitted bank credit lines together with local and international capital markets constitute an important source of funding to meet committed obligations. Currently, YPF has the capacity to issue debt under the Frequent Issuer Regime.

Based on the requirements for access to the Foreign Exchange Market established by BCRA to maturities of principal amounts of offshore debts and the issuance of debt securities denominated in foreign currency scheduled until December 31, 2025, all the provisions issued were fulfilled by the Group. See Note 35.j).

Includes undiscounted contractual cash flows given that they do not differ significantly from their nominal values.

Most of the Group’s loans contain market-standard covenants for contracts of this nature, which include financial covenants mainly related to restrictions on incurring additional debt associated with the leverage ratio and the debt interest coverage ratio, restrictions on dividend payments, and events of defaults triggered by materially adverse judgements (see Notes 17 and 33), among others.

Under the terms of the financial 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.

4.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)

The Group monitors compliance with covenants on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2025, the Group is in compliance with its covenants.

 

 

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 temporary 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 receivables is charged to net income in the statement of comprehensive income, based on specific information regarding its clients.

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

The maximum exposure to credit risk of the Group of December 31, 2025 based on the type of its financial instruments and without excluding the amounts covered by several types of guarantees is set forth below:

 

     Maximum exposure    

Cash and cash equivalents

     1,352,703    

Investments in financial assets

     380,569    

Other financial assets

     4,301,157    

Considering the maximum exposure to the credit risk and based on the concentration of the counterparties, credit and investments with the National Government, direct agencies and companies with government participation, accounts for 810,986 and represents 13% of total, while the Group’s remaining debtors are diversified.

The following is the breakdown of the financial assets past due as of December 31, 2025:

 

     Current trade
receivable
     Other current
receivables
 

Less than three months past due

     334,881        28,071  

Between three and six months past due

     31,902        21  

More than six months past due

     9,369        2,998  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
          376,152             31,090  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2025, the provision for doubtful trade receivables amounts to 117,653 and the provision for other doubtful receivables amounts to 56,523. These provisions represent the Group’s best estimate of the credit losses incurred in relation with accounts receivables.

Guarantee policy

As collateral of the credit limits granted to customers, the Group receives several types of guarantees from its customers. In the gas stations and distributors segment, where generally long-term relationships with customers are established, mortgages prevail. For foreign customers, joint and several bonds from their parent companies prevail. In the industrial and transport segment, bank guarantees prevail. To a lesser extent, the Group has also obtained other guarantees such as credit insurances and guarantee customer-supplier, among others.

The Group has effective guarantees granted by third parties for 1,427,840, 1,043,423 and 762,909 as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

4.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont.)

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Group did not execute material guarantees.

5.  BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The different business segments in which the Group’s organization is structured consider the different activities from which the Group can obtain revenues and incur expenses. Such organizational structure is based on the way in which the chief decision maker analyzes the main operating and financial magnitudes for making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment, also considering the business strategy of the Group.

Business segment information is presented in U.S. dollars, the functional currency of the Company (see Note 2.b.1)), consistently with the manner of reporting the information used by the chief decision maker to allocate resources and assess business segment performance.

As of the current fiscal year, as a consequence of the organizational structure changes in which the New Energies Vice Presidency was created and the Gas and Power Vice Presidency and the Downstream Vice Presidency were reformulated as the LNG and Integrated Gas Vice Presidency and the Midstream and Downstream Vice Presidency, respectively, the full management scope of these new business units was determined. On January 1, 2025, these organizational changes resulted in a modification of the composition of the business segments according to how the chief decision maker allocates resources and assesses the performance of these business segments, creating the New Energies business segment and readjusting the composition and definition of the businesses of the remaining business segments. Accordingly, the comparative information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 has been restated.

The business segments structure is organized as follows:

 

 

Upstream

It performs all activities related to the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbon fields and production of crude oil and natural gas.

Its revenues are mainly derived from: (i) the sale of the produced crude oil to third parties and to the Midstream and Downstream business segment; (ii) the sale of the produced natural gas to third parties and to the LNG and Integrated Gas business segment; and (iii) the sale of the natural gas retained in plant to the Midstream and Downstream business segment.

It incurs all costs related to the aforementioned activities

 

 

Midstream and Downstream

It performs activities related to: (i) the refining, transportation and commercialization of refined products; (ii) the production, transportation and commercialization of petrochemical products; (iii) the transportation and commercialization of crude oil; and (iv) the commercialization of specialties for the agribusiness industry and of grains and their by-products.

On January 1, 2025, as a consequence of the organizational changes described above, the assets related to the natural gas transportation, the conditioning and processing of natural gas retained in plant for the separation and fractionation of gasoline, propane and butane, the storage of the produced natural gas, and the commercial and technical operation of the LNG regasification terminal in Escobar, which were formerly included in the Gas and Power business segment, were assigned to this business segment.

Its revenues are mainly derived from the sale of crude oil, refined and petrochemical products, and specialties for agribusiness industry and grains and their by-products, through the businesses of Retail, Commercial Networks, Industries, Transportation, Aviation, Agro, Lubricants and Specialties, LPG, Chemicals, International Trade and Transportation and Sales to Companies. In addition, it obtains revenues from midstream oil, midstream gas and natural gas storage operations and the provision of LNG regasification services.

The following tables show the financial assets and liabilities by category of financial instrument and a reconciliation to the corresponding item in the statements of financial position, as appropriate. Since the items “Other receivables”, “Other liabilities” and “Accounts payable” in the statement of financial position contain both financial instruments and non-financial assets and liabilities (such as tax receivables and receivables and payables in kind, among other) reconciliation is presented in the columns labeled “Non-financial assets” and “Non-financial Liabilities”.

Fair value measurement

IFRS 13 “Fair value measurement” defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a financial liability settled, between knowledgeable, independent parties in an arm’s length transaction. 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 “Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost” section below). 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 reporting 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. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used without adjustment to measure fair value whenever available.

 

  (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.

 

  (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 available. The inputs reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors, which market players would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the best available information, including internal data.

The Group has no financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Fair value estimates

The Group’s policy is to acknowledge transfers among the several categories of valuation hierarchies when occurred, or when there are changes in the prevailing circumstances requiring such transfer. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, there were no transfers between the different hierarchies used to determine the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments.

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

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 loans, amounted to 15,514,096, 9,079,899 and 6,090,387 as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The fair value of other receivables, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other liabilities and accounts payable at amortized cost, do not differ significantly from their carrying amount.

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 prices 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 and Northwest basins. See Note 35.f.1).

8.  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (cont.)

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Group recognized an impairment charge of property, plant and equipment for the CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin of 176,769 (114,900 net of the income tax effect), 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 of our production. The discount rate after income tax used as of September 30, 2023 was 14.89%. In addition, as of December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of the net assets of the CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin amounted to 1,936,680 and approximated its recoverable amount.

On February 29, 2024 (see Note 11.a)) YPF’s Board of Directors resolved the disposal of certain groups of assets related to the Upstream business segment, mainly mature fields related to the CGU Oil, CGU Gas - Austral Basin and CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin and analyzed fair value less cost of disposal to be less than their carrying amount. The Company considered 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 1,437,603 (934,442 net of the income tax effect) as of December 31, 2023, considering the net assets and recoverable amount 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), the recoverable amount 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 technique 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.

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 revenues, future net revenues, present value and considering a ten-year extension of the termination of certain concessions expiring in the near term. Future net revenues were calculated by deducting from future gross revenues royalties paid in cash, operating expenses, capital expenditures and hydrocarbon wells abandonment costs, production taxes, and income tax. Operating expenses include fields operating expenses, transportation and processing expenses, and an allocation of overhead that directly relates to production activities. Capital expenditures include drilling and completion costs, facilities costs, and 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 of hydrocarbon wells. The recoverable amount was defined as future net revenues discounted at a discount rate after income tax, which as of December 31, 2023 was 15%.

As of December 31, 2024, the Group recognized an impairment charge of property, plant and equipment for the CGU Gas - Northwest Basin of 58 (37 net of income tax effect), generated by a combination of variables, but mainly due to production costs increases. The discount rate after income tax used as of December 31, 2024 was 14.80%, and the recoverable amount after income tax as of such date of the CGU Gas - Northwest Basin was 28. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of the net assets of the CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin amounted to 2,769 and approximated its recoverable amount.

11.a) Optimization plan of the conventional Upstream portfolio

11.a.1) Description of the Plan

On February 29, 2024, YPF’s Board of Directors resolved the disposal of certain groups of assets related to the Upstream business segment, mainly mature fields related to the CGU Oil, CGU Gas - Austral Basin and CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin. This disposal of assets related to mature fields, named “Mature Fields Project”, is consistent with the Company’s management plans, which considers that the rationalization of the conventional Upstream portfolio is one of the drivers on which the YPF’s strategy is based, with focus on activities and investments in unconventional fields.

During 2024 and 2025 YPF signed different assignment agreements for 15 groups of assets (46 areas), subject to the fulfillment of agreed closing conditions, including applicable regulatory and provincial approvals. The remaining groups of assets are in negotiations with third parties for their disposal or reversion.

As part of the optimization plan of the conventional Upstream portfolio, on December 11, 2025, YPF’s Board of Directors resolved the disposal of new groups of assets related to 3 areas in the Provinces of Mendoza and Chubut. During January and February 2026 YPF signed assignment agreements for these assets, subject to the fulfillment of agreed closing conditions, including applicable regulatory and provincial approvals.

11.a.2) Accounting matters

Considering the YPF’s Board of Directors’ decision dated February 29, 2024, impairment indicators under IAS 36 were evaluated for each group of assets. Accordingly, the Company performed an impairment review separately from its CGU and recognized an impairment charge of property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2023 (see Note 8). The disposal of these groups of assets did not meet the requirements of IFRS 5 to be classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023, therefore these groups of assets were not classified as held for sale as of that date.

In February 2024, after the fulfillment of all the requirements of IFRS 5, the assets were reclassified from the “Property, plant and equipment” line item to the “Assets held for sale” line item and the related provisions for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations and for environmental liabilities and liabilities for concessions to the “Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale” line item as current items in the statement of financial position.

Considering that, after their classification, the assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell (“fair value”), the Company evaluates the changes in fair value, recognizing a profit up to the limit of the impairment loss previously recognized or an impairment loss in addition to that previously recognized for such changes (see Note 2.b.13)). According to mentioned in Note 8, the recoverable amount was defined as future net cash flows discounted at a discount rate after income tax, which as of December 31, 2024 was 15%.

As of December 31, 2024, based on the aforementioned assessment of the changes in the fair value, the Company recognized a loss due to changes in the fair value of assets held for sale of 272,804, in the “Other net operating results” line item in the statement of comprehensive income, mainly generated by the more pronounced decline of the fields and the lower production than expected due to its performance.

Based on the fair value of the groups of assets at the closing date of each of the assignment agreements mentioned in the Note 11.a.1), YPF additionally recognized a gain on the sale of such groups of assets of 217,982 and 6,611 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Group is part to a number of labor, commercial, civil, tax, criminal, environmental, customs and administrative proceedings that, either alone or in combination with other proceedings, could, if resolved in whole or in part adversely to the Group, result in the imposition of material costs, judgments, fines or other losses. While the Group believes that such risks have been provisioned appropriately based on the opinions and advice of our legal advisors and in accordance with applicable accounting standards, certain loss contingencies are subject to changes as new information develops and results of the presented evidence are obtained in judicial process, among other factors. It is possible that losses resulting from such risks, if proceedings are decided in whole or in part adversely to the Group, could significantly exceed the recorded provisions.

Likewise, due to its operations, the Group is subject to various laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment (see Note 2.c) “Provisions” section).

(Amounts expressed in millions of Argentine pesos, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in Argentine pesos, and as otherwise indicated)

   LOGO

17. PROVISIONS (cont.)

 

17.a) Provision for lawsuits and contingencies

The Group has recognized pending lawsuits, claims and contingencies, which are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The most significant pending lawsuits and contingencies are described below:

17.a.1) Liabilities and contingencies assumed by the Argentine Government before 1990

Under YPF’s Privatization Law, the Argentine Government took over certain obligations of the predecessor company as of December 31, 1990. In certain lawsuits related to events or acts that took place before December 31, 1990, YPF has been required to make advance payments in compliance with certain judicial decisions. YPF has the right to be reimbursed for these payments by the Argentine Government based on the indemnity mentioned above.

In pending lawsuits, YPF has claimed its right to be indemnified by the Argentine Government for events and contingencies prior to January 1, 1991 under Law No. 24,145 (YPF’s Privatization Law) and Decree No. 546/1993.

On September 2, 2025, the CSJN issued an order in which it considered that YPF lacked standing as a defendant, as it had no legal relationship with respect to claims for environmental liabilities not assumed by YPF and assumed by the Argentine Government under the terms of the YPF’s Privatization Law.

17.a.2) 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 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 accounting expert in the settlement period) to the SE, to be allocated to the trust fund created under Law No. 26,020.

The judgment rejects the claim for the items corresponding to the period 1997-2001, considering that YPF’s position in the domestic bulk LPG market had not been sufficiently proved. Furthermore, the judgment 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 judgment, which was admitted with suspensive effect.

On December 7, 2017, the Company was notified about the Court of Second Appeals’ judgment, which: (i) confirmed the claims for compensation for the 1993-1997 period; (ii) extends the Users and Consumers Association claim from period between years 1997 to 1999 under the item “equity transfer of consumers to producers for the higher cost of LPG”, deferring the settlement related to this item to the execution stage of the judgment; and (iii) partially grants the appeal filed by the defendant with respect to the item “damage caused by lower or different energy consumption due to the higher cost of LPG”.

   LOGO

17. PROVISIONS (cont.)

 

It should be noted that the judgment 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 settlement of the judgment amount becomes final, 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 Court of Second Appeals’ judgment, which was sustained and the file was submitted to the CSJN, being the enforcement of the Court of Second Appeals’ judgment still suspended as of the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

On June 2, 2021, the CSJN forwarded the file to the National Attorney General’s Office for its opinion on the legal merits of the extraordinary appeal.

On April 13, 2023, the National Attorney General’s Office issued an opinion recommending the CSJN to grant the extraordinary appeal lodged by YPF and to reverse the Court of Second Appeals’ judgment. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the extraordinary appeal is pending resolution.

In relation to the operation of the refinery owned by YPF in La Plata city, Province of Buenos Aires, there are certain judicial claims, mostly filed by neighbors of the area seeking (i) compensation for damages arising from the alleged environmental contamination caused by the operation of the La Plata Refinery and (ii) the environmental remediation of the waterways adjacent to the mentioned refinery. Should these claims be sustained, they could demand additional investments related to the operation of La Plata Refinery.

In 2006 YPF submitted a presentation before the Environmental Policy Secretariat of the Province of Buenos Aires, whereby it suggested the performance of a study for the characterization of risks associated with the aforementioned contamination.

On January 25, 2011, YPF executed an agreement with the Provincial Agency for Sustainable Development (“OPDS”, by its acronym in Spanish) of the Province of Buenos Aires, under the Remediation, Liability and Environmental Risk Control Program, created under Resolution No. 88/2010 of the OPDS. 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 obligation to hold YPF harmless in accordance with the article 9 of YPF’s Privatization Law. This study proved between 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 the OPDS, 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 two-year extension to continue with the remediation and monitoring works through the suggested remediation modality (monitored natural recovery).

17. PROVISIONS (cont.)

 

Regarding the judicial claims mentioned above, on February 7, 2022, 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 co-defendants’ joint liability for the damages in the following proportions: YPF 90% (the Argentine Government 80% and YPF 20%) and the 2 co-defendant companies 10%. The decision was appealed by the Company. 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 consolidated financial statements, such appeal is pending resolution.

 

 

Quilmes

As regards with a fuel leak in the polyduct running from La Plata to Dock Sud (Progressive 37), in the Province of Buenos Aires, 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 conducted by the Company since then 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. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, this lawsuit is pending resolution.

 

 

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 Argentina. 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.

17.a.4) 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.

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

Based on the Group’s current remediation 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 obligations, considering the number of wells not yet abandoned, the costs and schedule for the timing of disbursements.

Regularization plan associated with the calculation of tax loss carryforwards

On April 30, 2025, ARCA General Resolution No. 5,684/2025 was published, establishing a payment plan of 120 monthly installments for the settlement of the following items: (i) balances of income tax returns corresponding to tax periods not prescribed as of the effective date of said Resolution, when tax loss carryforwards from previous years adjusted for inflation have been calculated and said situation is corrected by submitting the respective rectifying tax returns, plus their corresponding compensatory and/or punitive interest; (ii) balances of the original or rectifying income tax returns corresponding to fiscal years ending between December 2024 and November 2025, inclusive, in which tax loss carryforwards are calculated at historical values, plus their corresponding compensatory and/or punitive interest; and (iii) interest related to advance payments and/or payments on account and fines related to the filing of the rectifying tax returns mentioned in items (i) and (ii) above.

The Company, based on the opinion of its external advisors, and considering the changes in the context performed during 2025 mainly due to adverse administrative and judicial jurisprudence in the first instances of execution and the financial conditions granted by the Tax Administration, evaluated ARCA General Resolution No. 5,684/2025 and on November 18, 2025, decided to adhere to the “Regularization plan associated with the calculation of tax loss carryforwards” provided for in said Resolution for the purpose of canceling the obligations related to income tax recalculated in accordance with the provisions of said Regime, thus eliminating any possible dispute with the tax authorities regarding the adjustment of tax loss carryforwards corresponding to the 2024 fiscal period

31. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s capital amounts to 3,921 and treasury shares amount to 12 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 December 31, 2025, 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 exploitation 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 30, 2025, 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, 2024 and, additionally, approved the following in relation to the retained earnings: (i) completely release the reserve for purchase of treasury shares and the reserve for investments; (ii) allocate the amount of 34,205 to appropriate a reserve for purchase of treasury shares; and (iii) allocate the amount of 6,787,343 to appropriate a reserve for investments.

Until the enactment of Law No. 26,741 described below, Repsol S.A. (“Repsol”) had a participation in the Company, directly and indirectly, of 57.43% shareholding while Petersen Energía S.A.U. and its affiliates exercised significant influence through a 25.46% shareholding of YPF’s capital stock.

Law No. 26,741 enacted on May 4, 2012, changed YPF’s shareholding structure declared the Class D shares of YPF owned by Repsol as national public interest and subject to expropriation representing 51% of YPF’s equity. In addition, Law No. 26,741 declared that achieving self-sufficiency in the supply of hydrocarbons as well as in the exploration, exploitation, industrialization, transportation and sale of hydrocarbons, shall be considered of national public interest and a priority for Argentina, with the goal of guaranteeing socially equitable economic development, job creation, the increase of the competitiveness of various economic sectors and the equitable and sustainable growth of the provinces and regions. The shares subject to expropriation were distributed as follows: 51% for the Argentine National Government and 49% for certain provinces.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has repurchased 343,654 of its own shares issued for an amount of 14,032, for purposes of compliance with the share-based benefit plans (see Note 37). During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not repurchased its own shares.

In accordance with the provisions of the LGS and the CNV rules, the Company must set aside a legal reserve of not less than 5% of the positive result resulting from the algebraic sum of net profit or loss for the year, prior-year adjustments, transfers from other comprehensive income to unappropriated retained earnings and losses from previous years, until such reserve reaches 20% of the sum of the “Capital” and “Adjustment of capital” accounts and the translation differences related to such accounts (See Note 2.b.10)). As of December 31, 2025, the legal reserve has been fully integrated, amounting to 1,141,047. Likewise, the Company’s Shareholders’ Meeting has defined voluntary reserves for future dividends, for investments and for purchase of treasury shares.

Considering Article 3, item 11, sections c) and e), Chapter III, Title IV of CNV rules, the distribution of retained earnings and/or reserves is restricted by the balances of the “Acquisition cost of treasury shares” and “Share trading premiums” accounts, and the translation differences arising from these accounts in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note 2.b.10). According to the Company’s shareholders’ equity, the restricted balances of retained earnings amounts to 51,423 as of December 31, 2025, which are composed of the “Acquisition cost of treasury shares” account. In accordance with the accounting policy described in Note 2.b.10), the balance of the “Acquisition cost of treasury shares” account includes 17,149 for the translation differences arising from this account.

31. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY (cont.)

 

When the net balance of retained earnings at the end of a fiscal year is positive, it can be distributed upon the decision of the Shareholders’ meeting, while not subject to legal restrictions. Additionally, pursuant to the CNV rules, when the net balance of “Other comprehensive income” account is positive, it will not be distributed nor capitalized nor used to compensate accumulated losses, but will be computed as part of retained earnings in order to make comparisons to determine the situation of the Company in relation to Articles 31, 32 and 206 of the LGS, or other legal or regulatory rules making reference to limits or ratios with capital and reserves, not specifically and expressly provided for under the CNV rules. When the net balance of “Other comprehensive income” account at the end of a fiscal year is negative, a restriction on the distribution of retained earnings for the same amount will be imposed.

32. EARNINGS PER SHARE

     (2,775.14)        5,298.50        (3,985.51)  

There are no financial instruments or other contracts outstanding issued by YPF that imply the issuance of potential ordinary shares, thus the diluted earnings per share equals the basic earnings per share.

33. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Group has the following contingencies and claims, individually significant, which in the opinion of the Company and its external counsels, have a possible outcome. In this sense, and based on the information available to the Group, including the amount of time remaining before conclusion of pending lawsuits, the results of evidence discovery and the assessment of internal and external advisors, the Group is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss in relation to certain matters described in Note 33.b).

33.a) Contingent assets

The Group has no significant contingent assets.

33.b) Contingent liabilities

33.b.1) Environmental claims

 

 

Asociación Superficiarios de la Patagonia (“ASSUPA”)

ASSUPA sued the companies operating exploitation concessions and exploration permits in the different basins (Neuquina basin in 2003, Northwest basin in 2010, and Austral basin in 2012), YPF among them, claiming the remediation of the general environmental damage purportedly caused by hydrocarbon activities. In addition, it requested the establishment of an environmental restoration fund, and the implementation of measures to prevent environmental damages in the future.

Concessionary companies in the Neuquina basin areas

The claim was answered by YPF and the rest of the sued parties. Following several proceedings, on December 30, 2014, the CSJN issued 2 interlocutory judgments. The first judgment declared that all environmental damages related to local and provincial situations were outside the scope of its original competence, and that only inter-jurisdictional situations (such as the Colorado River basin) would fall under its venue. In the second judgment, the CSJN rejected the petition filed by ASSUPA to incorporate Repsol S.A. and the directors who carried their activities in YPF until April 2012 as a necessary third party. The CSJN also rejected precautionary measures and other proceedings related to such request.

As a result of such decision, an individual filed a preventive damage action to reduce presumed damages and prevent future damages (action for repair of damages) consisting of the comprehensive remediation of collective damages allegedly caused by the hydrocarbon activity undertaken by YPF in the Province of Neuquén. In such action, YPF answered the claim and requested that the National Government, the Provincial Government and other oil companies in the area be summoned to appear.

Concessionary companies in the Northwest basin areas

On December 1, 2014, YPF was notified of the complaint and moved for the suspension of procedural deadlines due to notification defects, which motion was granted by the court. On April 19, 2017, YPF was notified of the court order resuming procedural deadlines and timely filed a challenge for legal defect, together with other the co-defendants. The court ordered those terms to answer the complaint be stayed until a final order is rendered on the defense based on a legal defect. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the procedural deadlines are suspended until the digitization of the proceedings.

Concessionary companies in the Austral basin areas

On November 2, 2015, YPF was notified of the claim and requested the suspension of procedural deadlines due to notification defects. This suspension was granted by the court and following several incidents with different codefendants and parties summoned to appear. On June 23, 2020, the judge ordered a new notification with the transfer of the case. The decision was appealed by the plaintiff.

On May 12, 2021, the file was submitted to the Federal Contentious Administrative Court of Appeals to decide on the plaintiff’s appeal on the interlocutory judgment, in which the judge decided to sustain the claim filed by YPF, among other co-defendants, ordering the transfer of the case. On November 8, 2022, the Federal Contentious Administrative Court ratified the decision of the Lower Court the complaint to be served again.

 

 

Dock Sud, Río Matanza, Riachuelo, Quilmes and Refinería Luján de Cuyo

In 2006, a group of neighbors of Dock Sud, Province of Buenos Aires, sued 44 companies, including YPF, the Argentine Government, the Province of Buenos Aires, the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and 14 municipalities, before the CSJN, seeking remediation and indemnification for environmental collective damages to the Matanza and Riachuelo rivers. Additionally, another group of neighbors of the Dock Sud area, filed 2 additional environmental claims, one of which was desisted in relation to YPF, while the other claim seeks remediation and indemnification for collective environmental damages to the Dock Sud area and individual property damages allegedly suffered by several companies located in that area, including YPF, the Province of Buenos Aires and several municipalities. Currently, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the outcome of these complaints, nor is it possible to estimate the resulting associated legal fees and expenses. YPF has the right to be indemnified and held harmless by the Argentine Government for events and claims prior to January 1, 1991, in accordance with YPF Privatization Law.

33. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (cont.)

 

Through its judgment dated July 8, 2008, the CSJN:

 

  -

Determined that the Authority of the Matanza Riachuelo Basin (“ACUMAR”) (Law No. 26,168) should be in charge of executing the program for environmental remediation of the rivers, being the Argentine Government, the Province of Buenos Aires and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires responsible for its performance; delegated to the Federal Lower Court of Quilmes the knowledge of all the matters concerning the execution of the remediation and sanitation; declared that all the litigations related to the execution of the remediation plan will be accumulated and be processed by this court and that this process produces lis pendens relating to the other collective actions seeking the environmental remediation of the basin, which should be archived. YPF was notified of certain resolutions issued by ACUMAR, whereby the Company was required to present an industrial reconversion plan in connection with certain YPF installations. Despite the appeal by the Company of the aforementioned resolutions, the plan was still presented.

 

  -

Decided that the proceedings to determine liabilities arising from past behaviors to repair the collective environmental damage would continue being heard by CSJN.

On October 22, 2024, the CSJN issued a final judgement whereby: (i) it terminated the CSJN’s supervision of compliance with the judgement of July 8, 2008; (ii) it terminated the case for the remediation of the collective environmental damage without sentencing any of the 44 defendant companies; (iii) it imposed the costs in the order incurred; and (iv) it decided that the litigation related to the execution of the remediation plan will continue to be processed before the corresponding court. YPF is not a party to such litigation.

In addition to the aforementioned in Note 17.a.3) related to environmental claims in Quilmes, the Company has other judicial and non-judicial claims against it, based on similar arguments.

On the other hand, the monitoring activities carried out routinely by YPF have allowed to detect a certain degree of environmental impact on the subsoil within the vicinity of the Luján de Cuyo Refinery, which led to the implementation of a program for the survey, assessment and remediation of environmental damages, agreed by the Company with the enforcement agencies of the Province of Mendoza, which costs have been recognized in the “Provision for environmental liabilities” account of the “Provisions” line item in the statement of financial position.

Regarding the environmental damage to the aquifer surrounding the Luján de Cuyo Refinery, a detailed research plan was conducted in order to define, analyze risks and implement mitigating actions. Thereafter, a remediation engineering plan was developed which is currently being implemented. Remediation follow-up is carried out under the supervision and with the assistance of Instituto Nacional del Agua (“INA”) and local authorities.

33.b.2) 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”)

Plaintiffs in these proceedings are Petersen and Eton Park, both of which previously held American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) evidencing American Depositary Shares (ADSs) representing YPF Class D shares. Petersen filed its complaint on April 8, 2015 and Eton Park filed its complaint on November 3, 2016. Both complaints were filed before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“District Court”), and against the Republic of Argentina (“Republic”) and YPF. The complaints make allegations related to the Republic’s intervention in YPF in 2012 and the Republic’s subsequent expropriation of a controlling interest in YPF held by Repsol (see Note 31). Petersen and Eton Park allege that the Republic and YPF breached purported obligations contained in the Company’s bylaws. The Petersen case and the Eton Park case were deemed to be related cases, are being conducted jointly and were assigned to the same District Court.

On September 8, 2015, before Eton Park had filed its complaint, the Republic and YPF filed motions to dismiss Petersen’s claims. On October 19, 2015 and October 23, 2015, Petersen filed oppositions to the Republic’s and YPF’s motions to dismiss, respectively. On September 9, 2016, the District Court issued a decision partially denying the motions to dismiss. The Company and the Republic appealed this decision, requesting a complete dismissal of the complaint. The Company and the Republic argued that the case should proceed in Argentina, if at all (forum non conveniens). The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (“Court of Appeals”) held that the District Court had jurisdiction over this matter. On October 31, 2018, the Company and the Republic appealed this decision to the United States Supreme Court (“Supreme Court”). On June 24, 2019, the Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal.

On August 30, 2019, the Republic and YPF filed motions to dismiss both the Petersen and the Eton Park cases, once again arguing that the cases should proceed in Argentina (forum non conveniens). On June 5, 2020, the District Court denied these motions to dismiss. The Republic and YPF filed their answers to the Petersen complaint on July 8, 2019 and to the Eton Park complaint on July 10, 2020. On July 13, 2020, the District Court issued an order requiring the parties to proceed with fact and expert discovery. Given the overlap between the Petersen and Eton Park cases, they moved forward jointly and the parties proceeded with consolidated discovery in both cases. Fact discovery concluded on August 27, 2021.

Expert discovery concluded on April 6, 2022. On April 14, 2022, Plaintiffs and YPF and the Republic filed opening briefs in support of cross-motions for summary judgment in the Petersen and Eton Park actions. Plaintiffs argued that the District Court should grant summary judgment in their favor on liability and damages as to both YPF and the Republic. In their opening briefs, YPF and the Republic each argued that it has no liability and owes no damages to Plaintiffs, and that the District Court should, therefore, grant summary judgment in its favor and dismiss all remaining claims against it. The parties filed opposition and reply briefs on May 26, 2022 and June 23, 2022, respectively.

On March 30, 2023, the District Court granted YPF’s motion for summary judgment and denied Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment as to YPF in its entirety. The District Court found that YPF has no contractual liability and owes no damages for breach of contract to Plaintiffs and accordingly dismissed Plaintiffs’ claims against YPF.

In line with the decision issued on March 30, 2023, in the final judgment issued on September 15, 2023 the District Court ordered, adjudged and decreed that all of Plaintiffs’ claims against YPF were dismissed, decreeing that YPF has no contractual liability and owes no damages for breach of contract to Plaintiffs.

33. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (cont.)

 

On October 18, 2023, Plaintiffs appealed the District Court’s final judgment as to YPF and those orders that, for purposes of appeal, merge into the designated final judgment.

On October 23, 2023, YPF filed a notice of conditional cross-cross-appeal.

The appeals filed by the parties in these proceedings were fully briefed as of September 6, 2024. The Court of Appeals held oral argument on these appeals on October 29, 2025.

On April 1, 2024, Plaintiffs filed a turnover motion, which became public (and accessible to YPF) on April 22, 2024. This motion requested that the District Court order the Republic to turn over the YPF Class D shares held by the Republic to Plaintiffs in partial satisfaction of the District Court’s judgment against the Republic in this proceeding. Plaintiffs and the Republic completed their briefing on the turnover motion on July 8, 2024.

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. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, Plaintiffs have not requested that the District Court find that YPF is an alter ego of the Republic.

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 on August 26, 2024 and YPF filed its reply on September 3, 2024.

On November 15, 2024, the District Court stayed alter ego discovery from YPF, pending the Court’s consideration of supplemental briefing by YPF, the Republic and Plaintiffs on certain issues, including subject matter jurisdiction. The supplemental briefing was completed on January 24, 2025.

On June 30, 2025, the District Court granted Plaintiffs’ turnover motion, ordering the Republic to: (i) transfer its Class D shares of YPF to a global custody account at the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) in New York within 14 days of the date of the order; and (ii) instruct BNYM to initiate a transfer of the Republic’s ownership interests in its Class D shares of YPF to Plaintiffs or their designees within one business day of the date on which the shares are deposited into the account.

Also on June 30, 2025, in proceedings brought by Bainbridge Fund Ltd. against the Republic, the District Court issued a similar order directing the Republic to turn over its Class A and Class D shares of YPF.

On July 10, 2025, the Republic filed with the Court of Appeals: (i) notices of appeal of the June 30, 2025 turnover orders in both Plaintiffs’ and Bainbridge Fund Ltd.’s proceedings; and (ii) emergency motions for a stay pending appeal of the June 30, 2025 turnover orders and an immediate administrative stay. On July 15, 2025, the Court of Appeals granted a temporary administrative stay of the turnover orders pending resolution of the stay motions. On August 15, 2025, the Court of Appeals granted a stay pending resolution of the Republic’s appeal of the June 30, 2025 turnover orders.

33. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (cont.)

 

YPF is not a party to the aforementioned turnover proceedings.

On September 17, 2025, the District Court denied YPF’s request to permanently enjoin Plaintiffs from pursuing recovery from YPF in connection with their September 15, 2023 final judgment against the Republic and ordered Plaintiffs and YPF to continue with the discovery process. The District Court’s decision does not decide the question of whether YPF is an alter ego of the Republic, which YPF strongly denies.

On October 1, 2025, YPF filed a motion for reconsideration of the September 17, 2025 order with the District Court arguing, among other things, that the District Court erred by overlooking binding precedent regarding the Court’s lack of subject matter jurisdiction. YPF also requested a stay of discovery from YPF. The Court granted the request for a stay of alter ego discovery from YPF pending resolution of YPF’s reconsideration motion.

On November 10, 2025, the District Court denied YPF’s motion for reconsideration of the September 17, 2025 order.

YPF has appealed the September 17, 2025, and November 10, 2025, orders, and those appeals have been consolidated. YPF filed its opening appeal brief on December 23, 2025. Briefing is scheduled to be complete on March 13, 2026, with oral argument calendared for the week of April 13, 2026. On December 23, 2025, the District Court granted YPF’s request to stay alter ego discovery from YPF pending these appeals.

On January 15, 2026, Plaintiffs filed a motion for sanctions and contempt against the Republic. Plaintiffs have asked, among other things, for the District Court to preclude the Republic from arguing that YPF and other instrumentalities are not alter egos of the Republic. Plaintiffs have also asked the Court to draw certain adverse inferences that Plaintiffs believe will help to support their alter ego theories. Briefing is scheduled to conclude on March 5, 2026. An evidentiary hearing is scheduled for April 21 to 23, 2026. YPF is not a party to this motion.

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 these litigations and their possible impact on the results and financial situation of the Group, as needed.

33.b.3) Claims before the CNDC

 

 

Claims for fuels sale prices

The Group was subject to certain claims before the CNDC, related to alleged price discrimination in sale of fuels which were timely answered by YPF.

33.b.4) Other claims

Additionally, there are several labor, civil and commercial cases in which the Group has been sued and several claims from the ARCA and provincial and municipal tax authorities, not individually significant, which have not been provisioned for, as the Company, based on the evidence available as of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, has considered that they constitute possible contingencies.

  -

Make the final investment decision as provided in the Bareboat Charter Agreement entered into with Golar Hilli Corporation in July 2024, and its subsequent addenda, for the term of 20 years for the charter of the liquefaction vessel Hilli Episeyo (“FLNG Hilli”), with a nominal capacity of 2.45 million tons of LNG per year (“MTPA”), to be located on the coast of the Argentine Sea in the Province of Río Negro, with the purpose of processing natural gas from Vaca Muerta for LNG export (“BBCA Hilli”).

 

  -

Enter into a second Bareboat Charter Agreement with Golar MKII Corporation, for the construction, lease and operation of a new liquefaction vessel, the FUJI LNG (“FLNG MKII”), for 20 years (extendable for an additional period of 5 years at SESA’s option), with a nominal capacity of 3.5 MTPA, in order to increase the capacity to process natural gas from Vaca Muerta and export LNG, subject to closing conditions including, among others, the final future investment decision as provided in such agreement (“BBCA MKII”). On November 4, 2025, after the fulfillment of the closing conditions, the Bareboat Charter Agreement with Golar MKII Corporation became effective.

In order to supply the FLNG Hilli and FLNG MKII vessels with natural gas for the liquefaction process, SESA entered into natural gas supply agreements (“GSA”) with PAE, Sur Inversiones Energéticas, Pampa and Wintershall for the term of 20 years. In this regard, in order for both vessels to operate all year round, SESA contemplates the construction of a dedicated gas pipeline between the Province of Neuquén and the San Matías Gulf in the Province of Río Negro. Operations of the FLNG Hilli vessel are expected to commence in late 2027 or early 2028 and those of the FLNG MKII vessel are expected to commence in late 2028.

35. MAIN REGULATIONS

The main regulatory framework under which the Group carries on its business activities is described below. However, the purpose of this section is not to provide an exhaustive description of all the regulations governing the Group’s business.

35.a) Regulations applicable to the hydrocarbon industry

35.a.1) Hydrocarbons Law

Law No. 17,319 of 1967 and its numerous amendments, including Law No. 27,007 of 2014, establish the general principles governing the exploration, exploitation, industrialization, transportation, and commercialization of hydrocarbon resources in Argentina (“Hydrocarbons Law”). Likewise, in 2024, the Bases Law incorporated new amendments to the Hydrocarbons Law (see Note 35.l)). The most relevant aspects 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 state-owned, private or mixed ownership companies, under the provisions of the Hydrocarbons Law and the regulations issued by the PEN. Also, 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 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. Also, 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.

(Amounts expressed in millions of Argentine pesos, except shares and per shares amounts expressed in Argentine pesos, and as otherwise indicated)

   LOGO

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

Since the issuance of the Bases Law, the request for conversion of a conventional exploitation concession into an unconventional exploitation concession will only be available until December 31, 2028, and its term will be 35 years without extensions.

Additionally, for new exploitation concessions, the national or provincial Executive Branch, as applicable, at the time of defining the terms and conditions of the bidding, may determine in a reasoned manner other terms of up to 10 years more than those provided for in the Hydrocarbons Law.

 

  -

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 will be 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.

Since the issuance of the Bases Law, the legal figure of “transportation concession” is replaced by the figure of “transportation authorization”. Also, it establishes that exploitation concessions and transportation concessions granted prior to the enactment of the Bases Law will continue under the legal figure of “concession” and governed until their expiration by the legal framework existing at the date of approval of the Bases Law.

 

  -

Holders of exploration permits and exploitation concessions 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 up to 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 or exploitation concession, to the tax regime established under the Hydrocarbons Law.

Since the issuance of the Bases Law, the royalties to be paid to the enforcement authority in exploitation concession bidding processes will be offered by the concessionaire, determining that the royalty to be offered will be 15% plus or minus a percentage at the bidder’s discretion.

Additionally, the fee for each square kilometer or fraction thereof that a holder of an exploration permit or an exploitation concession must pay annually and in advance shall be calculated according to a scale determined by the price of a barrel of oil quoted on the “Frontline ICE Brent”.

 

  -

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.

 

  -

Since the issuance of the Bases Law, international trade of hydrocarbons and/or its derivatives will be free, according to the terms and conditions established by the PEN, and exploration permit holders and/or exploitation concessionaires, refiners and/or marketers may freely export hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives, subject to the SE’s non-objection.

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

Decree No. 1,057/2024 established that the free exercise of the right to export hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives may not be interrupted, nor be reviewed again once certain deadlines have passed, during the entire period or program of shipments or deliveries not objected to by the SE, and the requirements established in said decree must be complied with for this purpose, except in the event of exceptional circumstances which objectively compromise the security of supply in the domestic market. For those exports of hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives whose period or program of shipments or deliveries exceeds 1 year, the interested party must prove the right to dispose of the export volumes and in the deadlines committed.

Likewise, it provided that the SE may object in whole or in part to the export of hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives, only based on the technical and/or economic reasons that affect the security of supply in the domestic market. Additionally, it establishes that the SE may object totally or partially to exports due to significant and unforeseen variations in the prices of hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives in the domestic market, on a temporary basis and until this situation has ended.

 

  -

Since the issuance of the Bases Law, hydrocarbon processing and natural gas storage activities are incorporated, for which the national or provincial Executive Branch, as applicable, may grant storage and/or processing authorizations.

 

  -

Owners of projects and/or facilities for the conditioning, separation, fractionation, liquefaction and/or any other hydrocarbon industrialization process may request an authorization to transport hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives to their industrialization facilities and from them to subsequent industrialization or commercialization process centers and/or facilities.

Decree No. 1,057/2024 establishes that for the holders of such projects and/or facilities whose construction, installation or operation had been authorized prior to the entry into force of the Bases Law, it is not mandatory to process the conversion to authorizations under the scheme of said law.

Those authorized to process hydrocarbons are required to process hydrocarbons from third parties up to a maximum of 5% of the capacity of their facilities.

Additionally, the Bases Law incorporated amendments to the Hydrocarbons Law regarding the regulations applicable to the transportation, processing, storage, distribution and commercialization of natural gas, which are described in Note 35.c.1).

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 National 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, 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.

 

  -

In 2007, Law No. 26,197 recognized that hydrocarbon reservoirs, in compliance with Article 124 of the Argentine National Constitution (including reservoirs for which concessions were awarded prior to 1994) were owned by the provinces and granted them right to administer such reservoirs.

35.a.2) YPF Privatization Law

In 1992, Law No. 24,145 (“Privatization Law”) privatized Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Sociedad del Estado, YPF’s predecessor company, and decided the transfer of hydrocarbon fields from the Argentine Government to the provinces, subject to the existing rights of the holders of exploration permits and exploitation concessions. Under the Privatization Law, the Company was awarded exploration permits and exploitation concessions which are the original titles to numerous concessions that are currently operated by YPF.

35.a.3) CENCH in the Province of Neuquén

On December 16, 2021, the Province of Nequén published Decree No. 2,183/2021 whereby approved Resolution No. 53/2020, as amended by Resolution No. 142/2021, which regulate the award of a CENCH in the province.

The aforementioned resolutions: (i) established the parameters applicable to the pilot plan to be submitted in order to apply for a CENCH and the technical criteria to define the territorial area of the CENCH; (ii) created the Area Extension Bonus for the area exceeding the pilot plan area; (iii) required the presentation of an annual update of a Continuous Development Plan during the mass production stage, and (iv) specified that commitments undertaken for the year following each presentation and update of the Continuous Development Plan should be firm commitments.

35.b) Regulations applicable to the Downstream activities

35.b.1) Regulation related to liquid hydrocarbon exports

Exports of crude oil, gasoline and diesel, among other goods, are subject to the registration provided for under Decree No. 645/2002 and SRH Resolution No. E-241/2017, as amended by SSHyC Resolution No. 329/2019.

In order to obtain an export permit, companies interested in exporting these products should enter export transactions in a register and ensure they have given the possibility of acquiring the products to interested potential domestic market agents.

On March 28, 2023, SE Resolution No. 175/2023 was published, creating a special regime for the registration of crude petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals through cross-border crude oil pipelines. In order to obtain the export permit, entities will be required to prove to the SSHyC that the respective export does not affect domestic market supply. The permit shall indicate the export volume authorized for a minimum term of 1 year from the date the permit was granted.

Decree No. 1,057/2024 (see Note 35.l)) provided that the SE shall keep a record of the export operations that were notified, those that were objected to, and those that were actually carried out. This decree establishes that, until its repeal or modification is ordered, exclusively with regard to the registration of such operations, Decree No. 645/2002, SRH Resolution No. E-241/2017 and its amendment Disposition No. 329/2019 of the SSHyC, and Resolution SE No. 175/2023 will continue to be applicable. In addition, it determines that the SE must make the corresponding regulatory adjustments for these and all other regulations referring to exports of hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives in order to comply with the objectives established in the Bases Law (see Note 35.l)) and the Hydrocarbons Law (see Note 35.a.1)).

In addition, the provisions regulating the export of hydrocarbons and/or their derivatives are described in the Hydrocarbons Law (see Note 35.a.1)).

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 grades 2 and 3 of diesel and gasoline, which include changes in the content of lead, manganese, oxygen and ethanol, and, more significantly, in relation to sulphur, demanding oil and gas 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 and gas 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 regarding sulphur content in gasoline grade 2 was extended since January 1, 2024. As of that date, the specifications that apply to gasoline grade 2 establish a maximum sulphur content of 50 mg/kg.

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 and gas 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, on several occasions, 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 July 1, 2026. Therefore, the Company is currently executing the last activities in compliance with the applicable resolution, having completed those related to the La Plata Industrial Complex.

35.b.3) Regulatory framework associated with the LPG industry

Law No. 26,020 of 2005 (“LPG Law”), amended by Decree No. 446/2025, establishes the regulatory framework for the LPG industry, covering all activities related to the production, fractionation, bottling, transportation, storage, distribution and sale of LPG, declared of public interest by said law. It also establishes (i) the free import of LPG, (ii) the free export of LPG once the supply of the domestic market is ensured and (iii) the sale of LPG by producers to the domestic market up to the export parity price.

Under the LPG Law, the Argentine Government launched several incentive programs for the supply of the domestic market (see Note 35.f.2)).

35.c) Regulations applicable to natural gas and LNG activities

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

Law No. 24,076 (“Gas Law”), which was enacted in 1992, together with its Regulatory Decree No. 1,738/1992, as amended by the Bases Law (see Note 35.l)), regulate natural gas public transportation and distribution services.

The Gas Law created the ENARGAS to administer and enforce the legal framework adopted for the transportation, distribution and commercialization of natural gas.

Natural gas transportation and distribution systems are divided into 2 main natural 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. Also, 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, hereinafter the “Distribution”); (ii) thermoelectric generation; (iii) industrial demand; and (iv) compressed natural gas (“CNG”).

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.

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

However, regulations applicable to natural gas commercialization were affected by the declaration of public emergency under Law No. 25,561 enacted on January 6, 2002 (“Public Emergency Law” 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 to redirect injected natural gas and other mechanisms to ensure the supply of the priority demand (Distribution segment).

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 conditions (“Framework Agreement”) for the supply of natural gas effective from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019; 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.f.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 was 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 had provisionally been assigned the role to acquire and supply fuels without cost to generators which do not have natural gas supply contracts currently in force. From March 1, 2025, since SE Resolution No. 21/2025, generators are authorized to make their fuel purchases (see Note 35.d) “CAMMESA” section).

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

Likewise, the Bases Law and Decree No. 1,057/2024 (see Note 35.l)) introduced the following amendments:

 

  -

The figure of “underground natural gas storage authorizations in depleted natural hydrocarbon reservoirs” was incorporated, and the possibility for holders of an underground natural gas storage permit to apply for a hydrocarbon transportation authorization was established.

 

  -

The distinction of types of concessions, authorizations and transportation licenses was regulated, identifying natural gas transportation licenses and/or their extensions granted under the Gas Law.

 

  -

The Hydrocarbons Law was amended incorporating the activities of processing and storage of natural gas, as described in Note 35.a.1).

 

  -

The possibility to request authorization to transport hydrocarbons for owners of projects and/or facilities for the conditioning, separation, fractionation, liquefaction and/or any other hydrocarbon industrialization process.

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

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 2018 - December 2018 period, 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.

Also, 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.

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

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.

Although the natural gas export regime was modified by numerous successive regulations since 2016, SE Resolution No. 774/2022 currently applies to natural gas exports, 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.f.1)) to producers holding export licenses.

In 2024, the Bases Law and Decree No. 1,057/2024 (see Note 35.l)) approved natural gas exports following the same terms and conditions as for liquid hydrocarbon exports, as described in Note 35.a.1).

Regarding natural gas infrastructure, Decree No. 1,057/2024 established that in the case of exports that involve the construction of new natural gas pipelines or new connections to them and/or new facilities, the SE’s non-objection to the export of natural gas will not imply authorization for their construction or new natural gas pipeline connections, which will be authorized through the relevant procedures.

LNG

In 2024, the Bases Law and Decree No. 1,057/2024 (see Note 35.l)) established a special regime for long-term firm export authorizations for LNG export permits, whose procedure was approved through SE Resolution No. 145/2025. The SE would have to verify the sufficiency of natural gas resources in Argentina to supply local demand and LNG export projects, and may oppose the request for export authorization, based on, among others, the lack of availability of natural gas to supply local demand. On April 21, 2025, SE Resolution No. 157/2025 was published, by which the SE approved the declaration of sufficiency of natural gas resources in Argentina that would supply local demand and LNG export projects for 63 years, which must be updated by the SE at least every 5 years.

When the SE does not object to a request, it will issue a “free LNG export authorization” granting firm export rights for 30 years from the start-up of the liquefaction plant or its expansions, and may not be subject to interruptions, restrictions or redefinitions in the future, and which may be transferred to third parties if certain conditions are met.

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, the Distribution License and the Transfer Agreement lay down the legal framework for Metrogas’ activities.

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 Metrogas’ shares.

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 ENARGAS’ recommendation to the 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.

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.

In 2024, the Bases Law and Decree No. 1,057/2024 (see Note 35.l)) allowed the providers of public natural gas distribution and transportation services to request the renewal of their licenses for an additional 20-year period.

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.

Also, 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 natural gas pipeline system) and in the event of bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of Metrogas.

Additionally, the Distribution License provides that Metrogas will not take over its parent company’s debts or grant credits or encumber assets to secure debts or award any other benefit to its parent company’s creditors.

Tariff schemes and tariff renegotiations

With the enactment of the 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 tariffs based on any foreign index, including the “U.S. PPI” established under the regulatory framework, and the process 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 MINEM and the Ministry of Finance for the Adjustment of the Natural Gas Distribution License (“Comprehensive Memorandum of Agreement”), which set out the conditions to adjust the Distribution License and a series of guidelines for 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 Minute, 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 RTI 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 RTI 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 aforementioned, 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.

On December 23, 2019, Law No. 27,541 (“Solidarity Law”) was published, 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 RTI and authorized the PEN to administratively intervene the ENARGAS for the 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.

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

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, 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, 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 commencement of the RTI (see Note 35.e)).

ENARGAS, through several resolutions, approved the transition tariff schemes to be applied by Metrogas until the rates resulting from the RQT came into force in accordance with the provisions of Decree No. 55/2023.

On April 30, 2025, ENARGAS Resolution No. 257/2025 was published, which approved: (i) the RQT corresponding to Metrogas; (ii) the segmentation of residential users; (iii) the investment plans for the five-year period 2025 - 2030; and (iv) the initial tariff scheme and the schemes of rates and charges corresponding to Metrogas effective as from May 1, 2025. The increase expected as a result of the RQT process will be effective in 31 consecutive monthly increases, which recognizes a cost for the deferral at a real weighted average cost of the capital employed rate in pesos of 7.64% and establishes that the increase in distribution tariffs for May 2025 applicable to residential users and general service customers will be 3%. The application of the remaining increase derived from the RQT will be completed in the remaining 30 installments, plus the recognition of the cost of the aforementioned deferral.

On June 5, 2025, SE Resolution No. 241/2025 was published, which established that the transportation and distribution tariffs will be adjusted on a monthly basis according to the variations in the indexes established by ENARGAS in the RQT, which correspond to the variation in equal parts of the IPC and the Internal Wholesale Price Index (“IPIM” by its acronym in Spanish) published by the INDEC.

On June 6, 2025, ENARGAS Resolution No. 363/2025 was published, which approved: (i) the methodology for the monthly adjustment of tariffs; and (ii) the tariff charts to be applied by Metrogas effective as from June 6, 2025.

ENARGAS, through several resolutions, approved the tariff schemes to be applied by Metrogas on a monthly basis within the framework of the RQT in accordance with the provisions of ENARGAS Resolution No. 363/2025.

Procedure for the compensation of the lower revenues received by distributors from their users

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. Also, 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 January 31, 2025, SE Resolution No. 24/2025 repealed as from February 1, 2025 MINEM Resolution No. 508-E/2017 and unified the compensation mechanisms for lower revenues received as a consequence of the application of incentive programs involving bonuses on the price of natural gas in the PIST. The amounts to be compensated will be deducted from the amounts to be paid by distributors to natural gas producers and will be directly compensated by the SE through the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

Decree No. 943/2025 (see Note 35.c.4)) repeals the current regulations that created the social tariff benefit program for residential users with lower payment capacity.

Note from ENARGAS related to YPF’s equity interest in Metrogas

On December 28, 2016, Metrogas received a Note from ENARGAS, requesting to adjust Metrogas’ equity structure in 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 equity 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 is pending resolution.

35.c.4) Targeted Energy Subsidy Scheme (“SEF”, by its acronym in Spanish)

On January 2, 2026, Decree No. 943/2025 was published, introducing the following amendments:

 

  (i)

It unifies energy subsidies under national jurisdiction, creating the new SEF regime with the objective of providing vulnerable residential users with access to essential energy consumption, including natural gas, among others.

 

  (ii)

It eliminates the segmentation of residential users provided for in ENARGAS Resolution No. 257/2025 and establishes the unification of their benefits into a single category.

 

  (iii)

It established general subsidies to be applied to the Uniform Annual Price of natural gas (“PAU”) to be transferred to the tariff of beneficiaries for consumption from the effective date of the SEF. It also establishes additional subsidies for natural gas consumption for the year 2026.

 

  (iv)

The current regulations on social tariffs are repealed.

 

  (v)

As of the implementation of the SEF, the subsidies will apply exclusively to the annualized weighted average cost of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 price, while no subsidies will apply to the supply cost derived from the LNG regasification or new natural gas contracts entered into outside the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

The Decree gradually reinforces incentives for energy saving and conservation of natural resources by all households in the country, while advancing a targeted application of energy subsidies under national jurisdiction.

The SEF regime formally entered into force on February 1, 2026, through Resolution SE No. 23/2026 and Resolution ENARGAS No. 48/2026. The SE, as the SEF enforcement authority, is empowered to issue the regulations and administrative acts necessary for the implementation of the criteria established in Decree No. 943/2025 and the restructuring of the subsidy regime.

35.d) Regulatory framework associated with electric power generation

The Group generates thermal conventional electrical energy and renewable energy through YPF EE and CT Barragán.

The basic regulatory framework for Argentina’s electricity sector is laid down under Law No. 15,336 of 1960, as amended by Law No. 24,065 of 1991, and regulated by Decrees No. 1,398/1992 and No. 186/1995 (collectively the “Regulatory Framework”). This Regulatory Framework is supplemented by SE regulations regarding generation and commercialization of electric power, including former SEE Resolution No. 61/1992. Also, in terms of generation of electric power from renewable sources, the Regulatory Framework is supplemented with specific regulations issued to promote their development (see “Renewable energies” section).

Law No. 24,065 implemented the privatization of state-owned companies in the electric power sector and divided the industry vertically into 4 categories: (i) generation; (ii) transmission; (iii) distribution; and (iv) demand. Also, the law organized the WEM (see “WEM” section), where generators of electric power are one of its players.

Under Law No. 24,065, the generation of electric power is defined as an activity of public interest developed in a competitive market. Generators of electric power from a thermal source (that is, generation by natural gas, petroleum liquids such as diesel and fuel oil, or coal), and from a renewable non-hydraulic source, do not require any concession from the state to operate. However, transmission and distribution activities are regulated as public services and hence are subject to concessions granted by the Argentine Government.

In turn, the provinces can regulate the electrical systems within their relevant territories, being their enforcement authority. However, if a participant of the provincial electrical sector connects to the Argentine Electricity Grid (“SADI”, by its acronym in Spanish), it must also meet federal regulations.

ENRE is the agency regulating, auditing and controlling the electric power industry.

On July 7, 2025, Decree No. 450/2025 was published, which approves the following amendments to the Regulatory Framework associated with electric power generation: (i) maximum competition and free contracting is guaranteed to generators; (ii) supply contracts will be freely negotiated between the parties; (iii) the figure of “storer” is introduced as the owner of energy storage facilities; (iv) the figure of “free user” is introduced, who, together with large users, may contract independently and for own consumption the energy supply; (v) allows the PEN to authorize generators, distributors and/or large users to build, at their exclusive cost and to satisfy their own needs, a line and/or extension of the transmission grid, which will not provide a public transportation service; and (vi) the extensions of the SADI may be of free initiative and at the own risk of whoever executes them.

CAMMESA

CAMMESA is responsible for SADI’s National Dispatch of Loads. CAMMESA’s main function is the technical and administrative coordination of electric power supply and demand within a real-time operation system, which includes determining the production schedule of all generation plants of the system in order to balance production with demand. CAMMESA also collects payments from all WEM agents and purchases and provides natural gas to generators, pursuant to the provisions of former SE Resolution No. 95/2013, Article 8, as amended by Resolution No. 12/2019 issued by the Ministry of Productive Development.

On January 28, 2025, SE Resolution No. 21/2025 was published, which, among other issues, provided that generators are authorized to make their fuel purchases, and their own fuels valued at the reference price and accepted in the Variable Cost of Production (“CVP” by its acronym in Spanish) statements will be recognized. Also, spot generators will be able to manage their own fuel and CAMMESA will continue to act as fuel supplier of last resort in the event that the spot generator opted not to do so.

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

On October 21, 2025, SE Resolution No. 400/2025 was published, which approved the “Rules for the Standardization of the WEM and its Progressive Adaptation”, which detail among others the modifications for the management of fuels, the determination of prices and the operation of the term market and the spot market, as from November 1, 2025.

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 considering 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 between projections and prevailing market conditions generate differences between distributors’ energy purchases at 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 power energy generation sector.

On February 26, 2020, SE 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.

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.

35.f) Incentive programs for hydrocarbon production

35.f.1) Incentive programs for natural gas production

With the purpose of increasing production and the offer of natural gas in the domestic market, considering the Argentina’s energy trade balance deficit, the Argentine Government implemented several programs to stimulate natural gas domestic production:

Plan for the Promotion of Argentine Natural Gas Production - Supply and Demand Scheme 2020-2024 (“Plan GasAr 2020-2024”)

On November 16, 2020, Decree No. 892/2020 was published, which approved the Plan GasAr 2020-2024, mainly aimed at: encouraging investments in natural gas production to meet demand requirements with domestic production; generating long-term certainty in the production and distribution sectors; ensuring the supply of the priority demand and the thermoelectric generation segment; and establishing a transparent, open and competitive system for the formation of natural gas prices.

The Plan GasAr 2020-2024, initially effective for a 4-year term, will be implemented through the execution of individual contracts between natural 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. Also, 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 end-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.

Additionally, 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 production 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 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.

On December 16, 2020, SE Resolution No. 391/2020 (supplemented by SE Resolution No. 447/2020) was published, 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 30 Mm3/d). From the total committed volume, 56% will be used to cover the demand of power plants through CAMMESA and the remaining 44% will be used to supply distributors’ priority demand.

On March 4, 2021, AFIP General Resolution No. 4,939/2021 was published, 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 such annex.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has received compensations from the National Government for an accumulated total amount of 203,088.

Plan for Reinsurance and Promotion of Federal Hydrocarbon Production Domestic Self-Sufficiency, Exports, Imports Substitution and the Expansion of the Transportation System for all Hydrocarbon Basins in the Country 2023-2028 (“Plan GasAr 2023-2028”)

On November 4, 2022, Decree No. 730/2022 was published, 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 buyers, ensuring free price formation and price transparency under Plan GasAr 2023-2028, 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.

On December 23, 2022, SE Resolution No. 860/2022 was published, which established: (i) the approval of the national public tender called by Resolution SE No. 770/2022; (ii) the extension of the delivery commitments undertaken by producers under the Plan GasAr 2020-2024 for the supply of distribution and sub-distribution licensees, ENARSA and CAMMESA, from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2028 for a volume of up to 20,900,000 m3/d; and (iii) the award of natural gas volumes to suppliers. Under this resolution the Company was awarded an annual volume of natural gas supply corresponding to the Neuquina basin of up to 965,000 m3/d (“Base Gas January”) and a natural gas volume in the winter period of up to 3,250,000 m3/d (“Peak Gas 2024”) under the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

On September 27, 2023, SE Resolution No. 799/2023 was published, awarding the Company monthly volumes of natural gas supply to the Northwest basin for the October 2023 - December 2028 period under the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

On March 27, 2024, SE Resolution No. 41/2024 was published, which approved natural gas prices at the PIST in U.S. dollars corresponding to the awarded volumes entered into within the framework of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 which will be applicable for natural gas consumptions made: (i) from April 1 and until April 30, 2024; (ii) from May 1 and until September 30, 2024; and (iii) from October 1 and until December 31, 2024; and instructed that, for the purpose of transferring the prices of natural gas to the tariff schemes of the public service of distribution of natural gas, ENARGAS issue the tariff schemes that reflect on a monthly basis the variation of the exchange rate of the prices of natural gas to be transferred to the tariff schemes.

On 5 June 2024, SE Resolution No. 93/2024 was published, which approved natural gas prices at the PIST in U.S. dollars corresponding to the awarded volumes entered into within the framework of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 which will be applicable for natural gas consumptions from June 2024 and leaves without effect the instruction to ENARGAS to issue tariff schemes that reflect on a monthly basis the variation of the exchange rate of the prices of natural gas to be transferred to the tariff schemes.

On November 1, 2024, Resolution No. 18/2024 of the Secretariat of Mining and Energy Coordination was published, which modify SE Resolution No. 93/2024 approving the natural gas prices at the PIST in U.S. dollars corresponding to the awarded volumes entered into within the framework of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 which will be applicable for natural gas consumptions from November 2024. See Note 35.c.3).

The SE, through several resolutions, approves the natural gas prices at the PIST to be passed-through to end-users in connection with current contracts entered into within the framework of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

The SE, through several complementary notes to SE Resolution No. 21/2025, instructed CAMMESA to apply a new order of priority for the dispatch of natural gas and established that the acquisition of said fuel will be carried out through 2 modalities: (i) auctions by CAMMESA for the purchase of spot volumes; and (ii) bids by which generators auction volumes with a maximum reference price based on round 4.2. of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

On December 29, 2025, SE Resolution No. 606/2025 was published, establishing amendments to the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 applicable to producers who voluntarily agree to the transfer of natural gas purchase agreements that ENARSA has with said producers and distributors, establishing a direct relationship between them, without ENARSA’s intermediation. Once the transfer is complete, producers will receive monthly payments for the portion of the injection price charged by the National Government corresponding to the volumes delivered to distributors, through the compensation mechanism established in the Plan GasAr 2023-2028.

On January 23, 2026, Decree No. 26/2026 was published, establishing that the National Government may assume responsibility for the monthly payment of a portion of the PAU (see Note 35.c.4)) defined by the SE within the framework of the Plan GasAr 2023-2028 in order to reduce the cost of natural gas payable by the end user. The SE will determine, with the assistance of ENARGAS, the amount that may be equal to, less than, or greater than the market price resulting from the auction awards adjusted for the seasonal factor. The difference between the defined PAU and the market price resulting from the auction awards adjusted for the seasonal factor, regardless of whether it is positive or negative, will be borne by the National Government or deducted from the amount payable by it, as appropriate.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has received compensations from the National Government for an accumulated total amount of 112,033.

35.f.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 low-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.b.3)) established the creation of a trust fund to finance the consumption of LPG in 10, 12, and 15-kg bottles for low-income users having no access to natural gas distribution through networks, thereby granting the SE the power to establish reference 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 reference prices applicable on each ocassion to bottled LPG for residential 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.

On August 19, 2024, SE Resolution No. 216/2024 was published, which resolved to eliminate the maximum prices applicable set for bottled LPG for residential use and replace them with an uncapped reference price system.

On January 24, 2025, SE Resolution No. 15/2025 was published, which established that producers’ sales prices to fractionators must not exceed the export parity price. Likewise, producers must ensure that LPG is continuously and sufficiently available for the domestic market.

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 Ministry of Economy 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. Several laws and/or decrees were authorized to extend this agreement. In 2025, a new amendment to the Propane Networks Agreement was signed, extending its term until December 31, 2025.

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

Decree No. 929/2013 provides for the creation of an Investment Promotion Regime for the Exploitation of Hydrocarbons (“Promotional Regime”), both for conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon exploitation projects. Inclusion in this Regime may be applied for by holders of hydrocarbon exploration permits and/or exploitation concessions and/or any third parties associated to such holders jointly with them, which have filed an investment project in foreign currency of at least 1,000, computed as of the date the project was filed, to be invested during the first 5 years of the project (this amount was modified in 2014 by Law No. 27,007 and reduced to 250).

The following are the main benefits established for entities reached by this regime: (i) they will be entitled, under the terms of Law No. 17,319, and from the fifth successive year counted since the commencement of their respective projects, to freely sell to foreign markets 20% of their production of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons produced under the said projects, with a 0% export duty, should these be applicable; (ii) they will be entitled to free availability of 100% of any foreign currency obtained from the export of the hydrocarbons mentioned in the preceding item; and (iii) for periods where national production fails to meet domestic supply needs under the terms of Article 6 of Law No. 17,319, entities included in the regime will be entitled to obtain, from fifth year following the approval and commencement of their respective projects with respect to the percentage of liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons produced under such projects available for export as mentioned herein above, a price not lower that the reference export price, which will be determined without computing the incidence of export duties otherwise applicable. See Note 35.j), “Investment Promotion Regime for the Exploitation of Hydrocarbons - Decree No. 929/2013” section.

35.g) Investment incentive programs

Large Investment Incentive Regime (“RIGI”)

The Bases Law (see Note 35.l)) created the RIGI, regulated by Decree No. 749/2024 published on August 23, 2024 and its amendments, General Resolution No. 1,074/2024 of the Ministry of Economy published on October 22, 2024 and AFIP General Resolution No. 5,590/2024 published on October 23, 2024, which is intended to encourage large investments with tax, customs and exchange benefits, guaranteeing legal certainty and the protection of acquired rights. This regime seeks to encourage investments, promote economic development, create employment and strengthen local production chains.

The RIGI is aimed at investment projects in the forestry industry, tourism, infrastructure, mining, technology, iron and steel, energy and oil and gas sectors, with a minimum investment per sector or subsector or productive stage equal to or greater than a range between US$ 200,000,000 up to US$ 900,000,000 in computable assets, as established by the enforcement authority. Interested parties have 2 years to adhere to the RIGI, submitting and obtaining the approval of an investment plan by the enforcement 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. The RIGI guarantees tax, customs and foreign exchange regulatory stability for 30 years from accession, protecting investment projects from more burdensome legislative changes.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the following projects of the Group adhered to the RIGI:

 

  -

LNG Project, through our subsidiary Sur Inversiones Energéticas, for the installation of two floating natural gas liquefaction plants to obtain LNG.

 

  -

Vaca Muerta Sur Project, through our associate VMOS, for the construction of a crude oil transportation infrastructure project.

 

  -

El Quemado solar farm, through our joint venture YPF EE, for the construction of a solar farm for electricity generation.

On August 29, 2024, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 8,099 that regulates the exception to the settlement obligation applicable to proceeds from exports of goods and services for the Single Project Vehicle (“VPU”, by its acronym in Spanish) under the RIGI and, among other provisions, establishes additional requirements for such VPUs to access to the Foreign Exchange Market for outflows of funds. Likewise, it provides that direct investment contributions into the VPU made in kind by means of the delivery of capital goods qualify as having been transferred into Argentina and settled through the Foreign Exchange Market for purposes of the RIGI, to the extent said conditions are met. Communication “A” 8,099 also clarifies that the RIGI foreign exchange benefits cannot be accumulated with other foreign exchange incentives, whether existing or to be created in the future.

On February 19, 2026, Decree No. 105/2026 was published, introducing amendments to the RIGI mainly for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation projects registered in the RIGI in accordance with the Basic Law. The most relevant aspects are as follows:

 

  -

The possibility of accessing the RIGI is extended for one year, until July 2027.

 

  -

It regulates a specific regime for activities related to the hydrocarbon industry that meet certain conditions defined in said decree.

 

  -

The minimum amount for offshore projects is reduced.

 

  -

The application of certain RIGI tax benefits to the hydrocarbon sector is modified, including accelerated depreciation, among others.

 

  -

Certain aspects of the tax and exchange treatment of Argentine companies are aligned with VPUs.

 

  -

It is recognized that infrastructure with pre-existing projects does not constitute non-compliance, provided that traceability and technical/economic separation exist.

 

  -

Specific customs benefits are regulated, such as importation without duties or quotas for capital goods, inputs, and spare parts. Duty exemption requires an independent technical report to justify goods not listed as capital goods.

 

  -

Suppliers under the regime may import up to 50% of intermediate goods, which may be increased with authorization.

 

  -

The operational framework for exchange rate benefits is defined, with rules for the free availability of foreign currency, debt repayment, and transfers abroad.

 

  -

The enforcement authority and evaluation procedures are determined, granting the Ministry of Energy a central role in approval, monitoring, and sanctioning.

35. MAIN REGULATIONS (cont.)

 

35.h) Tax regulations

35.h.1) Income tax

Law No. 27,468, published on December 4, 2018, established that the inflation adjustment procedure for taxation purposes will be applicable for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2018. In the first, second and third fiscal years since it became effective, this procedure shall be applicable if the variation in the CPI, estimated from the beginning to the end of each of those years exceeds 55%, 30% and 15%, for the first, second and third year of application, respectively. From the fourth year, i.e., fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2021, the procedure will apply to the extent the CPI variation accumulated over 36 months prior to the applicable fiscal year end exceeds 100%. Considering that the CPI as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 exceeds the mentioned parameters, the Group applied the tax adjustment for inflation in its income tax estimate.

On June 16, 2021 Law No. 27,630 was published, introducing the following amendments to the Income Tax Law:

 

  -

The income tax rate for companies and permanent establishments, applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, was modified. To such end, it introduced a scale of rates ranging from 25% and 35% to be applied according to the taxpayer’s accumulated taxable net profit, and such amounts will be adjusted annually according to the CPI.

 

  -

The distribution of dividends and profits to individuals, undivided estates and foreign beneficiaries is subject to a 7% rate.

Income tax pre-payment for taxpayers with extraordinary income

On July 21, 2023, AFIP General Resolution No. 5,391/2023 was published, establishing a one-time extraordinary pre-payment on account of the income tax for taxpayers which, in their tax returns for fiscal year 2022 or 2023, as appropriate, meet the following conditions: (i) have reported a taxable income, without applying tax loss carryforwards, of at least 600 million of pesos; and (ii) have not determined any income tax. This extraordinary pre-payment is estimated by applying 15% on the taxable income of the fiscal year immediately preceding that in which the pre-payment is to be recorded, without considering tax loss carryforwards.

Budget Law 2023 - Deferral of tax adjustment for inflation

On December 1, 2022, Law No. 27,701 was published, which introduced changes to the Income Tax Law, establishing the possibility of deferring the tax adjustment for inflation contemplated under such law corresponding to the first and second fiscal years beginning in January 2022, allowing to record, at taxpayer’s choice, one third of the adjustment in such fiscal year and the remaining two thirds in equal parts in the immediately following two periods. This benefit will only be admissible for subjects whose investment in the purchase, construction, manufacturing or final import of fixed assets, except automobiles, in each of the 2 fiscal periods immediately following the calculation of the respective first third, is equal or higher than 30,000 million of pesos.

35.h.2) Personal assets tax - Substitute taxpayer

Individuals and foreign entities, and undivided estates, regardless of whether they are domiciled or located in Argentina or abroad, are subject to a personal assets tax of 0.50% of the value of any shares or ADS issued by Argentine entities. The tax is levied on the Argentine issuers of such shares or ADS, such as YPF, which must pay this tax as substitutes for the respective shareholders and is based on the equity value (following the equity method), or the carrying amount of the shares derived from the last financial statements as of December 31 of each year. Under the Personal Assets Tax Law, the Group is entitled to seek reimbursement of the tax paid by the shareholders subject to such tax, using the reimbursement method the Group considers appropriate.

35.h.3) Fuels tax

From the existence of market prices for petroleum products following the deregulation of the hydrocarbon sector, Law No. 23,966 established a tax on liquid fuel transfers, which levied certain types of fuels, replacing the former regime based on regulated prices. Since August 2003, the calculation method originally consisting of a fixed value per liter according to the respective type of fuel was replaced by a rate on the average sales price

Later, under the Law No. 27,430 (“Tax Reform”), the new mechanism was modified reestablishing the fixed amounts per liter, which are adjusted quarterly based on variations in the CPI.

Incentive Regime for the Internal Supply of Fuels (“RIAIC”, by its acronym in Spanish)

On June 16, 2022, Decree No. 329/2022 was published, creating a promotion regime that allows refining and/or integrated refining companies to receive an amount equal to the sum they have to pay as tax on Liquid Fuels and Carbon Dioxide (“Tax on fuels”) for diesel imports, which may be applied to pay such tax.

On February 22, 2023, Decree No. 86/2023 was published, through which the RIAIC is reestablished, recognizing an amount equivalent to what refining companies and/or integrated refiners must pay as fuel tax for diesel and gasoline imports made between January 1 and February 28, 2023, which could be applied to the amount to be paid for such tax up to a limit of 20% and 17% of the sales in the domestic market of imported diesel and gasoline, respectively, that meet certain requirements established in said decree and its corresponding regulation.

On July 10, 2023, SE Resolution No. 570/2023 was published, extending the effective term of the RIAIC established through Decree No. 86/2023 for all import operations of diesel and gasoline carried out from March 1, 2023, to April 30, 2023, that meet certain requirements established in said decree and its corresponding regulation.

On September 7, 2023, Decree No. 461/2023 was published, which reestablished the RIAIC for all import operations of diesel and gasoline carried out from August 1, 2023, to October 31, 2023, that meet certain requirements. On November 23, 2023, SE Resolution No. 952/2023 was published, which extended the effective term of the provisions of Decree No. 461/2023 for all import operations of diesel and/or gasoline carried out until November 30, 2023.

35.h.4) Tax for an Inclusive and Solidary Argentina (“PAIS Tax”, by its acronym in Spanish)

On July 24, 2023, Decree No. 377/2023 was published, through which the scope of the PAIS Tax established by Law No. 27,541 of 2019 to import operations of certain goods and services when access to the Exchange Market is required for their acquisition and payment.

The rates applied to foreign currency purchases are: (i) 25% for the acquisition of certain services abroad or provided in the country by non-residents; (ii) 7.5% for contracting, abroad or in the country by non-residents, freight services and other transport services for the import or export of goods; and (iii) 7.5% for the import of goods, except for those mentioned in section 2 paragraph e) of Decree No. 377/2023 and its corresponding regulations. On December 13, 2023, Decree No. 29/2023 was published, which increased the rates mentioned in items (ii) and (iii) to 17.5%.

On September 2, 2024, Decree No. 777/2024 was published, which reduced to 7.5% the rate applied to foreign currency purchases for contracting, abroad or in the country by non-residents, freight services and other transport services for the import or export of goods and for the import of goods, except for those mentioned in section 2 paragraph e) of Decree No. 377/2023 and its corresponding regulations.

36. BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (cont.)

 

Considering the rights Chevron might exercise in the future over CHNC to have access to 50% of the exploitation concession of Loma Campana and other supplementary rights, and as guarantee for those rights and other obligations under the Project Investment Agreement (“LC Agreement”) that the Company and Chevron signed on July 16, 2013, a pledge was created in favor of Chevron over the shares of an affiliate of YPF that indirectly holds YPF’s interest in CHNC.

In this context and considering that YPF is the operator of Loma Campana Area, the parties executed a Project Obligations, Indemnities and Guarantee Agreement under which the Company makes certain representations and guarantees in relation to the LC Agreement. This guarantee relating to the operation and management of the Project does not include the project’s performance or the return on investment, both of which are at Chevron’s exclusive risk.

During fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, YPF and CHNC carried out transactions, among others, the purchases of crude oil by YPF for 452,513, 484,882 and 147,556, respectively. These transactions were consummated in accordance with the general and regulatory conditions of the market. The net balance payable to CHNC as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 amounts to 18,842, 64,886 and 31,003, respectively.

On May 8, 2024, SE Resolution No. 58/2024 was published in the BO, which established an exceptional, transitory and unique payment regime for the balance of the WEM’s economic transactions of December 2023, January 2024 and February 2024 corresponding to the WEM’s creditors, and instructed CAMMESA to determine the amounts owed to each of them corresponding to such economic transactions, to be canceled as follows: (i) the economic transactions of December 2023 and January 2024, through the delivery of government securities denominated “Bonos de la República Argentina en Dólares Estadounidenses Step Up 2038”; and (ii) the economic transactions of February 2024, with the funds available in the bank accounts enabled in CAMMESA for collection purposes and with those funds available from the transfers made by the National Government to the “Fondo Unificado con Destino al Fondo de Estabilización”.

As of December 31, 2024, as mentioned above, the Group has recognized a charge for doubtful sales receivables of 34,218 in the “Selling expenses” line item in the statement of comprehensive income (see Note 2.b.7) “Impairment of financial assets” section), and in relation to our joint ventures YPF EE and CT Barragán a charge for such concept of 22,569 and 6,691, respectively, in the “Income from equity interests in associates and joint ventures“ line item in the statement of comprehensive income.

The table below presents the accrued compensation for the YPF’s key management personnel, including members of the Board of Directors and first-line executives, managers with executive functions appointed by the Board of Directors, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:

The plan members will receive from the Group the contributed funds before retirement only in the case of voluntary termination under certain circumstances, dismissal without cause or in case of death or incapacity. The Group has the right to discontinue this plan at any time, without incurring termination costs.

The amount charged to expense related to the Retirement Plan was 5,010, 3,881 and 794 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 

 

 

Short-term benefit programs

The Group has short-term benefit cash payment programs applicable to certain employees. These programs are mainly based on the fulfillment of vice-presidency and unit objectives and may be increased based on individual performance. They are calculated considering the remuneration of each employee, the number of salaries assigned per salary category and certain key factors related to the fulfillment of these objectives. As of 2024, a new variable compensation program based on the Group’s results (“CVR”, by its acronym in Spanish) was implemented, to be paid whenever these results are positive.

The amount charged to expense related to the short-term benefit programs was 245,214, 209,595 and 89,445 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

 

Share-based benefit plans

From the fiscal year 2013 the Company has decided to implement a share-based benefit plan aimed at aligning the performance of certain executive-level employees, managers and key or critical technical knowledgeable personnel, with the objectives of the strategic plan of the Company. This plan, organized in annual programs, consists in giving participation, through shares of the Company, to each selected employee subject to continued service for the period defined in the plan (period of up to 3 years from the grant date, “service period”), being this the only necessary condition to access the agreed final retribution.

37. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND SIMILAR OBLIGATIONS (cont.)

 

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 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, and its design and implementation were advised by an international consulting firm specializing in human resources management.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there are 4.6 million number of PSARs outstanding with and a weighted average fair value of US$ 20.8 per PSARs. The amount charged to expense in relation with Value Generation Plan was US$ 25 million and US$ 33 million, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, weighted average fair value was US$ 28.6 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.

Note 2.b.11) describes the accounting policies for share-based benefit plans. Repurchases of treasury shares are disclosed in Note 31.

39. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Asset exchange between YPF and Pluspetrol S.A. (“Pluspetrol”)

On January 22, 2026, the Company entered into an asset exchange agreement with Pluspetrol, whereby: (i) YPF agreed to transfer 44.44% of shares in VMI to Pluspetrol; and (ii) Pluspetrol assigns to YPF 50% of its interest in the “Aguada Villanueva,” “Las Tacanas,” and “Meseta Buena Esperanza” exploitation concessions, which corresponds to 100% of Pluspetrol’s interest in those blocks. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, this agreement is subject to the fulfillment of closing conditions, including the issuance of a Provincial Decree authorizing the transfer of these blocks.

Issuance of ON

On January 27, 2026, the Company issued Additional Class XXXIV NO in the international market, maturing in January 2034, for a nominal amount of 550. The NO were issued at a price of 100.789%, resulting in a yield of 8.10%. The principal will be amortized in 3 consecutive annual installments of 30% in January 2032, 30% in January 2033, and the remaining 40% in January 2034.

On February 19, 2026, the Company issued Additional Class XLII NO in the local market, maturing in March 2029, for a nominal amount of 161. The NO were issued at a price of 102.86%, resulting in a yield of 6.50%. The principal will be amortized in a single installment upon maturity.

Acquisition of interest in the “Bandurria Sur,” “Bajo del Toro,” and “Bajo del Toro Norte” blocks

On February 1, 2026, YPF entered into a share purchase and sale agreement with Vista Energy S.A.B. de C.V. (“Vista”), whereby, subject to the fulfillment of closing conditions set forth in such agreement, YPF will acquire 16.3% of the shares and capital stock of Equinor Argentina S.A.U., owner of 30% of the “Bandurria Sur” exploitation concession.

Likewise, on the same date, YPF entered into an asset purchase agreement for the acquisition from Vista of a 15% stake in the “Bajo del Toro” and “Bajo del Toro Norte” exploitation concessions.

The consideration for both transactions amounts to 163, subject to a price adjustment at the closing of the transaction and a contingent price defined in said agreements.

If the conditions precedent are met, YPF will acquire: (i) indirectly, through its 16.3% stake in Equinor Argentina S.A.U., a 4.9% stake in the “Bandurria Sur” block, which, added to its current direct interest, will total 44.9% in that block; and (ii) a 15% interest in the “Bajo del Toro” and “Bajo del Toro Norte” blocks, which, added to its current interest, will total 65% in those blocks.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, there have been no other significant subsequent events whose effect on Group’s financial position, results of operations or their disclosure in notes to the financial statements for the fiscal year ended as of December 31, 2025, should have been considered in such financial statements under IFRS.

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors’ meeting and authorized to be issued on February 26, 2026.
