(*) Sales revenues from operations outside of Brazil, including trading and excluding exports. |
In 1Q24, net revenue fell 12% compared to 4Q23, mainly influenced by lower revenue from diesel sales in the domestic market and exports.
The reduction in revenue from oil products in the domestic market was mainly due to lower prices, the seasonality of consumption, the increase in the biodiesel content in the diesel blend and the loss of competitiveness of gasoline to hydrated ethanol.
The lower revenue from the sale of oil on the domestic market resulted from lower sales volumes for Acelen, alongside lower prices.
In 1Q24, there was a drop in export revenues, with lower volume of gasoline exports and lower prices for oil exports. This reduction is mainly attributed to the devaluation of international prices when exports were carried out, to gasoline quality change operations in 4Q23 and maintenance stoppages in the quarter.

In 1Q24, operating expenses reduced 51% compared to 4Q23, mainly reflecting lower impairment expenses and the result from the abandonment of areas that occurred in 4Q23.
Adjusted EBITDA
In 1Q24, Adjusted EBITDA reached US$12.1 billion, 10% lower compared to 4Q23, influenced by lower sales volumes of oil and oil products and the reduction in the price of oil and diesel margins. These effects were partially offset by lower operating expenses, especially the result from the abandonment of areas that occurred in 4Q23.

In 1Q24, the financial result was negative at US$ 1.9 billion, compared to a positive result of US$ 0.3 billion in 4Q23. This financial result was primarily impacted by the loss from the FX variation of the BRL against the USD, which depreciated by 3.2% in 1Q24 (from R$ 4.84/US$ on 12/31/23 to R$ 5.00/US$ on 03/31/24), and by the absence of revenue from monetary restatement related to the legal agreement with Eletrobras in 4Q23.
Net profit (loss) attributable to Petrobras shareholders
In 1Q24, net profit was US$4.8 billion, compared to US$6.3 billion in 4Q23. This result is mainly attributed to lower sales volumes and a decrease in oil price and diesel margins. Additionally, the result was impacted by worse financial results due to the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar. These effects were partially offset by the reduction in operating expenses and income tax.
Recurring net income attributable to Petrobras shareholders and recurring Adjusted EBITDA
In 1Q24, we did not have a relevant impact from non-recurring items. Excluding such items, net profit would remain at the same level of US$4.8 billion. Meanwhile, Adjusted EBITDA suffered a negative impact of US$0.3 billion, mainly due to losses from contingencies. Excluding this effect, Adjusted EBITDA would have reached US$12.4 billion.

In 1Q24, capex totaled US$ 3.0 billion.
In the Exploration and Production segment, capex totaled US$ 2.5 billion, 21% higher than in 1Q23, due to increased investments in the development of major projects that will sustain the production curve over the next few years. In 1Q24, Capex was 10% lower than in 4Q23, mainly due to the postponement of subsea activities and of milestone payments for owned production units. Investments in 1Q24 were mainly concentrated in: (i) the Santos Basin pre-salt (US$ 1.3 billion), with the Búzios and Mero fields standing out; (ii) the Campos Basin pre- and post-salt projects (US$ 0.6 billion), with the Jubarte, Marlim and Raia Manta and Pintada fields standing out; and (iii) exploratory investments (US$ 0.2 billion).
In the Refining, Transportation and Marketing segment, capex totaled US$ 0.36 billion, with emphasis on scheduled refinery stoppages and REPLAN's new HDT. In the Gas and Low Carbon Energy segment, capex totaled US$ 0.10 billion in 1Q24, with the highlight being the Route 3 natural gas processing unit.

In 1Q24, E&P gross profit was US$ 9.5 billion, a 13% reduction compared to 4Q23, when the result was US$ 10.9 billion. This reduction was mainly due to lower production in the period and lower Brent prices, partially offset by lower government take.
Operating profit in 1Q24 was US$ 8.8 billion, 24% higher than in 4Q23. This increase is due to higher impairment losses and abandonment provisions, both recorded in the previous quarter.
Regarding government take, there was a reduction in the quarterly comparison (1Q24 vs. 4Q23), explained by the drop in production and the lower price of Brent.
The lifting cost for 1Q24, excluding government take and leasing, was US$ 6.04/boe, representing an increase of 9% compared to the last quarter (US$ 5.52/boe). This increase was mainly influenced by production losses in this period, generated by production stoppages and planned maintenance in the Campos Basin and Santos Basin, as well as the natural decline of mature fields. In addition, there was an increase in costs due to the intensification of subsea inspection and maintenance activities in the Campos Basin and Santos Basin.
In the pre-salt, there was a 6% increase in lifting costs, due to the higher volume of production stoppages and planned maintenance in the period, mainly in the Tupi, Sépia and Sapinhoá fields in the Santos Basin, associated with higher spending on subsea inspections in the Santos Basin.
In the post-salt, there was a 25% increase in lifting costs, due to production stoppages and planned maintenance in the period, mainly in the Marlim Sul, Roncador and Barracuda/Caratinga fields in the Campos Basin, associated with higher spending on subsea inspections in the Campos Basin.
In onshore and shallow water assets, there was a 1% increase in lifting costs, mainly due to the effect of production, due to the higher volume of downtime losses. This effect was mitigated by the reduction in maintenance costs in the quarter.

In 1Q24, the gross profit was higher than in 4Q23, mainly due to the effect of inventory turnover: in 1Q24 there was a positive variation in Brent, while in 4Q23 there was a negative variation in Brent. The estimated effect in 1Q24 was a positive US$ 435 million compared to a negative US$ 216 million in 4Q23. Excluding this effect, gross profit would have been US$ 1.8 billion in 1Q24 against US$ 2.4 billion in 4Q23.
There was a lower volume of sales of oil products on the domestic market, mainly diesel, due to the seasonality of consumption and the increase in biodiesel content, and gasoline, due to the seasonality of consumption and the higher competitiveness of ethanol between quarters. There was also a higher volume of oil exports as a result of less processing.
In 1Q24, operating profit was higher than in 4Q23, reflecting higher gross profit and lower operating expenses, mainly impairment in 4Q23.
In 1Q24, the unit cost of refining was 4.4% lower than in 4Q23 due to lower absolute costs, and the highlights were the reductions in materials and services related to maintenance and upkeep, and lower personnel expenses in 1Q24. Throughput was lower in 1Q24 compared to 4Q23, in a period of lower seasonal demand and scheduled maintenance stoppages.

Gross profit in 1Q24 was 13% lower than in 4Q23, mainly due to inter-segment revenues with annual commitments in December 2023, as well as lower natural gas sales volumes and the ending of energy contracts during 1Q24.
Operating profit in 1Q24 was 29% lower than in 4Q23, impacted mainly by lower gross profit, which was partially offset by lower operating expenses with impairment.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is an indicator calculated as the net income for the period plus taxes on profit, net financial result, depreciation and amortization. Petrobras announces EBITDA, as authorized by CVM Resolution 156 of June 2022.
In order to reflect the management view regarding the formation of the company's current business results, EBITDA is also presented adjusted (Adjusted EBITDA) as a result of: results in equity-accounted investments; impairment, reclassification of comprehensive income (loss) due to the disposal of equity-accounted investments, results with co-participation agreement in production fields and gains/losses on disposal/write-offs of assets.
Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting the sum of the last twelve months (Last Twelve Months), also represents an alternative to the company's operating cash generation. This measure is used to calculate the Gross Debt and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA metric, helping to evaluate the company's leverage and liquidity.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not provided for in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and should not serve as a basis for comparison with those disclosed by other companies and should not be considered as a substitute for any other measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. These measures should be considered in conjunction with other measures and indicators for a better understanding of the company's performance and financial condition.
