Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the consolidated statement of financial position of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 24, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Exclusion of ICMS (VAT tax) from the basis of calculation of PIS and COFINS
In 2020, the Company obtained a favorable and definitive court decision regarding the exclusion of ICMS (VAT tax) in the basis of calculation of sales taxes PIS and COFINS, recognizing US$ 3,226 (R$ 16,764 million) as other recoverable taxes. These sales taxes credits refer to the ICMS included in the basis of calculation of PIS and COFINS, from October 2001 to August 2020, inappropriately paid during this period.
The Company has already realized US$ 2,878 (of which US$ 1,857 was in 2020) of this credit in payment of federal taxes.

11.2. | Tax amnesty programs – State Tax |

State of Rio de Janeiro
The State of Rio de Janeiro instituted a settlement program called PEP-ICMS, under the terms of state law 189/2000, which allowed a 90% reduction of amounts due as a fine and interest.
15 |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED PETROBRAS (Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) |
The adhesion to the program creates conditions for the settlement of ICMS disputes involving tax credits, due to the cancellation of a plant of Gaslub (former Comperj), in the total amount of US$ 266, through estimated disbursement of US$ 97. As a result, for these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2021, the Company reassessed expected disbursements and reversed US$ 169 of the respective provisions.
In April 2021, the Company joined the program and will make the full payment of the remaining obligations by June 2021.
State of Bahia
The adhesion to the remission and amnesty program with the state of Bahia, entered into under the terms of state law 14,286/2020, allowed a 50% remission and a 90% reduction of fines and interest. The tax debts, arisen from the disallowance of tax credits, were settled after the payment of US$ 21.

At December 29, 2020, the 17 unions representing onshore employees of Petrobras had signed the agreement for the PLR for the next two years before the deadline determined by the Collective Labor Agreement (ACT). Among the offshore employees, only one union had signed the agreement within the period defined by the ACT.
The current agreement for the PLR provides that only employees without managerial functions will be entitled to receive profit sharing, and it will be cumulative to the payment of the PPP.
In order for the PLR to be paid in the next two years, the following requirements must be met: (i) dividend distribution to shareholders approved at the Annual General Shareholders Meeting, (ii) net income for the year, and iii) achievement of the weighted average percentage of at least 80% of a set of indicators.
The maximum amount of PLR to be distributed is limited to 6.25% of net income and 25% of dividends distributed to shareholders, in each year. The PLR expense for the first quarter of 2021 amounts to US$ 28 (US$ 6 for the same period of 2020).

14.4. | Class action and related proceedings |
Regarding the class action in the Netherlands, on January 29, 2020, the District Court in Rotterdam determined that shareholders who understand Portuguese and / or who bought shares through intermediaries or other agents who understand that language, among other shareholders, are subject to the arbitration clause provided for in the Company's Bylaws, remaining out of the collective action proposed by the Stichting Petrobras Compensation Foundation (“Foundation”). The Court also considered the binding effect of the agreement signed to close the United States' Class action. In this way, the Foundation needs to demonstrate that it represents a sufficient number of investors to justify pursuing collective action in the Netherlands. The Foundation and the Company presented the oral arguments at a hearing held on January 26, 2021, which is pending judgment. See note 20.4.1 to the annual 2020 Financial Statements for more information.
In relation to the arbitration in Argentina, the Argentine Supreme Court has not yet judged the appeal filed by the Association.
As for the criminal actions in Argentina, related to an alleged fraudulent offer of securities, on September 14, 2020, the judge accepted the defense presented by the Company and decided that Petrobras could not be sued in a criminal case before the Argentine Justice. The Association appealed this decision, and the appeal is pending judgment. Regarding the action related to the alleged nonobservance of the obligation to disclose a press release, on March 4, 2021, the Court decided that the competence to judge this criminal action should be transferred from the Criminal Economic Court No. 3 of Buenos Aires to the Criminal Economic Court No. 2 in the same city.

The Company filed complaints against Brazilian Federal Government challenging the constitutionality of the inclusion, from 2001 to 2020, of ICMS within the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS. In 2020, the Company obtained a favorable and definitive court decision on this claim, and the Company recognized the corresponding credit.

19. | Impairment |
19.1. | Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets |
The Company annually tests its assets for impairment or when there is an indication that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.
In the first quarter of 2021, impairment losses were recognized, in the amount of US$ 90, mainly due to:
26 |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED PETROBRAS (Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) |
· | Oil and gas production and drilling equipment in Brazil: the Company decided to discontinue the use of P-33 platform in the Marlim field, due to the discontinuation of production and the beginning of its decommissioning process, resulting in its exclusion of CGU North group and its impairment testing as a separated asset, with the recognition of a US$ 122 impairment loss; and |
· | Oil and gas production and drilling equipment abroad: the Company decided to use in producing fields in the Santos basin, certain equipment that were previously part of platforms P-72 and P-73. Thus, considering estimated future cash flows for these assets, the Company recognized a US$ 27 impairment reversal. |
In the first quarter of 2020, impairment losses were recognized due to the significant and adverse effects on the oil and oil products market arising from: (i) the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the economic activity, and (ii) failure in negotiations between members of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies to define production levels, which contributed to an increase in the global oil supply with a significant reduction in price in early March 2020.
These events led the Company to adopt a set of measures, aiming at preserving cash generation, as well as to revise its key assumptions such as Brent prices, exchange rates, oil product spreads, among others and, in the first quarter of 2020, impairment losses were recognized in the amount of US$ 13,371, primarily due to:
(i) US$ 11,798 relating to the effect of updated assumptions in the estimation of the recoverable amount of several E&P fields, notably in the following Cash Generating Units (CGU): Roncador, Marlim Sul, North group, Albacora Leste, Berbigão-Sururu group, CVIT group and Mexilhão; and
(ii) US$ 1,356 relating to the hibernation of fields and platforms in shallow waters, affecting CGUs North group, Ceará-Mar group and Ubarana group, as well as Caioba, Guaricema and Camorim fields.
On November 25, 2020, management concluded and approved its 2021-2025 Strategic Plan, considering a complete update of economic assumptions, as well as its project portfolio and estimates of reserve volumes, which support the impairment tests conducted in this reporting period. Thus, impairment reversals were accounted for in the last quarter of 2020, in the amount of US$ 6,019, mainly on producing properties relating to oil and gas activities in Brazil.
19.2. | Investment in publicly traded associate (Petrobras Distribuidora S.A. – BR Distribuidora) |
On August 26, 2020 the Company’s Board of Directors approved the disposal of the remaining interest in this Company. Accordingly, the recoverable value of this investment took into account the value in use, including the disposal value, considering the intention to sell the shares. The post-tax discount rate in constant currency applied was 11% p.a., considering the cost of equity. Thus, a US$ 26 impairment loss was recognized in the first quarter of 2021.
20. | Exploration and evaluation of oil and gas reserves |
The exploration and evaluation activities include the search for oil and gas reserves from the date of obtaining the legal rights to explore a specific area to the declaration of the technical and commercial viability of the reserves.
Changes in the balances of capitalized costs directly associated with exploratory wells pending determination of proved reserves and the balance of amounts paid for obtaining rights and concessions for exploration of oil and natural gas (capitalized acquisition costs) are set out in the following table:

A maturity schedule of the lease arrangements (nominal amounts) is set out as follows:
Nominal Future Payments | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 onwards | Total |
Balance at March 31, 2021 | 4,196 | 4,517 | 2,971 | 2,248 | 1,818 | 11,938 | 27,688 |

Payments in certain lease agreements vary due to changes in facts or circumstances occurring after their inception other than the passage of time. Such payments are not included in the measurement of the lease obligations. Variable lease payments in the first quarter of 2021 amounted to US$ 185, representing 13% in relation to fixed payments (US$ 785 and 13% in the same period of 2020).
In the first quarter of 2021, the Company recognized lease expenses in the amount of US$ 23 relating to short-term leases (US$ 59 in the same period of 2020).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED PETROBRAS (Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) |
At March 31, 2021, the nominal amounts of lease agreements for which the lease term has not commenced, as they relate to assets under construction or not yet available for use, is US$ 80,293 (US$ 67,408 at December 31, 2020). The increase in the first quarter of 2021 basically corresponds to the devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar in the period, as well as the inclusion of a new contractual commitment to lease a floating production unit.
The sensitivity analysis of financial instruments subject to exchange variation is presented in note 29.3.
27. | Equity |
27.1. | Share capital (net of share issuance costs) |

Preferred shares have priority on returns of capital, do not grant any voting rights and are non-convertible into common shares.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held treasury shares, of which 222,760 are common shares and 72,909 are preferred shares.
27.2. | Distributions to shareholders |
Proposed distribution to shareholders relating to 2020 amounts to US$ 1,977 (corresponding to 0.1515 per outstanding share), including the minimum mandatory dividend to preferred shareholders (US$ 849) and the additional dividends proposed (US$ 1,128) to ordinary shareholders, arising from the remaining portion of the net income for the year and the profit retention reserve.
On April 14, 2021, the Annual General Shareholders Meeting approved dividends relating to 2021. Thus, additional dividends proposed to ordinary shareholders in the amount of US$ 1,128 were reclassified from shareholder’s equity to liabilities.
On April 29, 2021, dividends were paid, in the amount of US$ 1,990, updated by Selic rate (Brazilian short-term interest rate) since December 31, 2020.

Basic earnings (losses) per share are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Petrobras by the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period.
Diluted earnings (losses) per share are calculated by adjusting the net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of Petrobras and the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period taking into account the effects of all dilutive potential shares (equity instrument or contractual arrangements that are convertible into shares).
Basic and diluted earnings (losses) are identical as the Company has no potential shares in issue.

(*) The probable scenario was computed based on the fair value of oil and oil products prices at March 31, 2021. Reasonably possible and remote scenarios consider 25% and 50% deterioration in the associated risk variables, respectively; R$ x U.S. Dollar - a 3.5% appreciation of the Real. |
29.2. | Risk management of crude oil and oil products prices |
The Company is usually exposed to commodity price cycles, although it may use derivative instruments to hedge exposures related to prices of products purchased and sold to fulfill operational needs and in specific circumstances depending on business environment analysis and assessment of whether the targets of the Strategic Plan are being met.
a) | Other commodity derivative transactions |
Petrobras, by use of its assets, positions and market knowledge from its operations in Brazil and abroad, occasionally seeks to optimize some of its commercial operations in the international market, with the use of commodity derivatives to manage price risk.

a) | Cash Flow Hedge involving the Company’s future exports |
The carrying amounts, the fair value as of March 31, 2021, and a schedule of expected reclassifications to the statement of income of cumulative losses recognized in other comprehensive income (shareholders’ equity) based on a US$ 1.00 / R$ 5.6973 exchange rate are set out below:

Nominal value of hedging instrument (finance debt and lease liability) at March 31, 2021 | 68,981 | 393,005 |
According to the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan, there is an increase in expected exports and consequently in highly probable future exports, but not in an amount equal to or greater than the finance debt and lease liabilities subject to designation as hedge instruments. As a result, the relevant increase in Dollar/Real exposure observed during 2020 remains at March 31, 2021, as presented in item (c) below.
In the first quarter of 2021, the Company recognized a US$ 1 loss within foreign exchange gains (losses) due to ineffectiveness (a US$ 1 loss in the same period of 2020).
The average ratio of future exports for which cash flow hedge accounting was designated to the highly probable future exports is 100%.
A roll-forward schedule of cumulative foreign exchange losses recognized in other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2021 is set out below:
Exchange rate variation | Tax effect | Total | |
Balance at January 1,2020 | (20,517) | 6,977 | (13,540) |

Balance at March 31, 2021 | (41,735) | 14,190 | (27,545) |
Additional hedging relationships may be revoked or additional reclassification adjustments from equity to the statement of income may occur as a result of changes in forecasted export prices and export volumes following a revision of the Company’s strategic plan. Based on a sensitivity analysis considering a US$ 10/barrel decrease in Brent prices stress scenario, when compared to the Brent price projections in our Strategic Plan 2021-2025, would not indicate a reclassification adjustment from equity to the statement of income.
A schedule of expected reclassification of cumulative foreign exchange losses recognized in other comprehensive income to the statement of income as of March 31, 2021 is set out below:

As of March 31, 2021, the company has outstanding swap contracts - IPCA x CDI and CDI x Dollar, swap - Pound sterling x Dollar and Non Deliverable Forward (NDF) - Pound x Dollar.
Swap contracts – IPCA x CDI and CDI x Dollar
Changes in future interest rate curves (CDI) may have an impact on the Company's results, due to the market value of these swap contracts. A sensitivity analysis on CDI with a constant increase (parallel shock) of 100 basis points, all other variables remaining constant, would result in a US$ 5 gain, while a constant reduction (parallel shock) of 100 basis points, would result in a US$ 11 gain.
c) | Sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments |
A sensitivity analysis is set out below, showing the probable scenario for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments, computed based on external data along with stressed scenarios (a 25% and a 50% change in the foreign exchange rates), except for assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, when transacted in a currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies.

29.4. | Interest rate risk management |
The Company considers that interest rate risk does not create a significant exposure and therefore, preferably does not use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk, except for specific situations faced by certain subsidiaries of Petrobras.
The sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk presented in the table below is carried out for a 12-month term. Amounts referring to reasonably possible and remote scenarios mean the total floating interest expense if there is a variation of 25% and 50% in these interest rates.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, expenses related to compensation of the board members and executive officers of Petrobras amounted to US$ 3.5 (US$ 3.6 for the same period of 2020).
On July 22, 2020, the Company’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting set the threshold for the overall compensation for executive officers and board members at US$ 8 (R$ 43.3 million) from April 2020 to March 2021.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED PETROBRAS (Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) |
The agreement also includes the recovery of a credit from Petrobras, in the amount of US$ 1 (R$ 3.2 million) related to an invoice issued in September 2019, settled by Amazonas Energia in April 2021.
The signing of the agreement will generate a positive effect on the Company’s statement of income in the second quarter of 2021 of US$ 58 (R$ 328 million), net of tax effects.
Surplus Volume of the Transfer of Rights Agreement under production sharing regime of Sépia and Atapu
On April 9, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the signing of an agreement with the Brazilian Federal Government that establishes the participation in each contract and the compensation value to Petrobras in case of bidding for the Surplus Oil of Transfer of Rights Agreement in Sepia and Atapu fields. On April 16, this agreement was approved by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME).
With the publication of MME Ordinances No. 23/2020 and 493/2021, Petrobras and PPSA reviewed and defined the amounts of compensation to be paid by the new contractor to Petrobras, prior to the bidding process for the Surplus Oil of Transfer of Rights Agreement, for the deferral of cash flow in the two areas, as well as the participation of the Transfer of Rights and production sharing contracts.
The agreement provides for the following terms: compensation of US$ 3,254 for the 60.5% stake of the new contractor in Atapu field and US$ 3,200 for the 68.7% stake in Sepia field. In addition, there are contingent payments (earn out), due from 2022 to 2032, which will be payable as of the last business day of January of the subsequent year since the Brent oil price reaches annual average higher than US$ 40 per barrel, limited to US$ 70 per barrel. Such payments have a one-year grace period for the payment of the first installment of the earn out, from 2023 to 2024, adjusted at 8.99% p.a..
These conditions will be established in a Co-Participation Agreement that will bind Petrobras to the new contractor in the area(s). The Co-Participation Agreement will only be effective with the signing of the Production Sharing Contract and the payment of compensation to Petrobras, when the contractors will have access to their participation in the production from Sépia and Atapu fields.
On April 28, 2021, Petrobras expressed to the Conselho Nacional de Política Energética (CNPE) the interest in exercising its preemptive right in the Second Bidding Round for the Surplus Volume of the Transfer of Rights under the Production Sharing regime, in the areas of Atapu and Sépia, with a 30% interest, considering the parameters disclosed in CNPE Resolution nº 5 of April 22, 2021, and in the Ordinance of the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) nº 08 of April 19, 2021.
The amounts corresponding to the signature bonuses to be paid, in case of confirmation of the interest, will be US$ 211 (R$ 1,201 million) for Atapu and US$ 376 (R$ 2,141 million) for Sépia.
Settlement of tender offer
On April 12, 2021, Petrobras concluded the tender offer to buy back global notes maturing between 2024 and 2050, made by its wholly-owned subsidiary PGF BV. The principal amount delivered by investors, excluding unpaid accrued interest, was US$ 2,496. The total amount paid was US$ 2,720, considering the prices offered and excluding accrued interest until the closing date.
Sale of remaining interest in NTS
On April 28, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the sale of its remaining 10% interest in Nova Transportadora do Sudeste S.A. (NTS) to Nova Infraestrutura Gasodutos Participações S.A., a company formed by Nova Infraestrutura Fundo de Investimentos em Participações Multiestrategia (FIP), an investment fund managed by Brookfield Brasil Asset Management Investimentos Ltda, and by Itaúsa S.A., current controlling shareholders of NTS, for the amount of US$ 316 (R$ 1.8 billion).
Considering the discount of dividends, interest on capital and restitution through capital reduction received by Petrobras throughout 2020 and 2021 and other adjustments provided for in the agreement, it is estimated a cash inflow amounting to US$ 263 (R$ 1.5 billion), to be fully paid on the signature date of the operation.
Petrobras extends maturity of revolving credit line
On April 30, 2021, Petrobras extended part of the revolving credit facility maturing in March 2024, in the amount of US$ 3,250, for two more years. Thus, 63% of this credit line (US$ 2,050) can be drawn down until 2026, and the remainder will expire in the original term.
Sale of thermoelectric power plants
On May 3, 2021, Petrobras signed with São Francisco Energia SA, a subsidiary of Global Participações em Energia SA, an agreement for the sale of three thermoelectric plants powered by fuel oil, located in Camaçari, in the state of Bahia (UTEs Polo Camaçari) for US$ 17 (R$ 95 million) subject to price adjustments provided for in the contract and to the fulfillment of conditions precedent, such as the approval of the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) and the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED PETROBRAS (Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated) |
The Company estimates the recognition of a US$ 52 (R$ 294 million) loss after taxes due to the difference between the sale and carrying amount of these assets.
Agreement with Companhia de Eletricidade do Amapá
On May 11, 2021, Petrobras signed with Companhia de Eletricidade do Amapá (CEA) a legal agreement for the termination of litigation and credit recovery in the amount of US$ 55 (R$ 314 million). The agreement establishes the unconditional payment of US$ 23 (R$ 133 million) to Petrobras, to be settled in 24 monthly installments. A discount will be granted on the remainder US$ 32 (R$ 181 million), provided that the payments occur on time. In case of default, as provided for in the agreement, Petrobras may demand the outstanding debt without discount.
The agreement is subject to the following suspensive conditions: (i) success on the bidding process for the privatization of the CEA, which is expected to occur until June 30, 2021, and (ii) transfer of the controlling interest of the CEA until December 31, 2021.
Met these conditions, the agreement will generate a US$ 23 (R$ 133 million) gain for Petrobras, before taxes. The corresponding allowance for expected credit losses were already accounted for as of December 31, 2020.
