YPF SOCIEDAD ANONIMA AND CONTROLLED COMPANIES
Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 and comparative information
(amounts expressed in millions of Argentine Pesos, except shares and per share amounts expressed in Argentine Pesos,
and as otherwise indicated Note 1.b)
1. | BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of YPF S.A. (hereinafter YPF) and its controlled companies (hereinafter and all together, the Group or the Company) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, are presented in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS) No. 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) was determined by the Technical Resolution No. 26 (ordered text) issued by Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) and the Regulations of the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV). Additional information required by the Law 19,550 of Argentine Corporations and/or regulations of the CNV was included in the Notes to the mentioned condensed interim consolidated financial statements only to comply with regulatory requirements.
These Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group as of December 31, 2014 (the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements) prepared in accordance with IFRS.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors meeting and authorized to be issued on May 7, 2015.
These Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements corresponding to the three month period ended on March 31, 2015 are unaudited. Management believes they include all necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of each period on a consistent basis with the annual condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Results for the three month period ended on March 31, 2015 do not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Groups full-year results.
1.b) Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2014, except for the valuation policy for Income Tax detailed in Note 6.i). The most significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to such annual consolidated financial statements.
New standards issued
The standards, interpretations and related amendments published by the IASB and endorsed by the FACPCE and the CNV which have been applied by the Company as from the year beginning on January 1, 2015, are the following:
● | Annual improvements to IFRS (2010-2012 cycle) modify several standards, including amendments to IAS 16 (Property, Plant and Equipment), IAS 24 (Related Party Disclosures), IAS 38 (Intangible Assets), IFRS 2 (Shared-based Payment), IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) and IFRS 8 (Operating Segments), IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement). |
● | Annual improvements to IFRS (2011-2013 cycle) modify several standards, including amendments to IAS 40 (Investment Property), IFRS 1 (First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards), IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) and IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement). |
The aforementioned adoption of standards, interpretations and related amendments did not have significant impact on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
7
Functional and reporting currency
As it was mentioned in Note 1.b.1 to the annual consolidated financial statements YPF has defined the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. In addition, according to General Resolution No. 562 of the CNV, YPF shall submit its financial statements in Argentine Pesos.
1.c) Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of financial statements at a certain date requires the Management to make estimates and assessments affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded, contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recorded during the period. Actual future results might differ from the estimates and assessments made at the date of preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
In the preparation of these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, significant judgments made by Management in applying the Groups accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty were the same as those applied by the Group in the preparation of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, which are disclosed in Note 1.c) Accounting estimates and judgements to those financial statements.
Amounts and other information corresponding to the year ended on December 31, 2014 and to the three-month period ended on March 31, 2014, are an integral part of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements previously mentioned and are intended to be read only in relation to these statements. Certain reclassifications have been made in order to present amounts comparatively with the current period.
Historically, YPFs results have been subject to seasonal fluctuations during the year, particularly as a result of the increase of natural gas sales during the winter. After the 2002 devaluation and as a consequence of the natural gas price freeze imposed by the Argentine government, the use of this fuel has diversified, generating an increase in its long-term demand throughout the year. However, sales of natural gas are still typically higher in the winter to the residential sector of the Argentine domestic market, the prices for which are lower than other sectors of the Argentine market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on February 14, 2013, Resolution 1/2013 of the Commission was published in the Official Gazette. This Resolution formally creates the Natural Gas Additional Injection Stimulus Program. Under this regulation, gas producing companies were invited to file with the Commission before June 30th, 2013 projects to increase natural gas injection, in order to receive an increased price of U.S.$7.50/mmBtu for all additional natural gas injected. These projects shall comply with minimum requirements established in Resolution 1/2013, and will be subject to consideration approval by the Commission, including a maximum term of five years, renewable at the request of the beneficiary, upon decision of the Commission. If the beneficiary company in a given month does not reach the committed production increase it will have to make up for such volumes not produced. During 2014, the natural gas pricing program was incorporated into the Hydrocarbons Law, as modified by Law No. 27,007. In view of the foregoing, seasonality of YPFs operations is not significant.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, no significant acquisitions or disposals have taken place.
4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Companys activities are exposed to a variety of financial risk: market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.
The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures on financial risk management; therefore they should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
There have been no changes in the risk management or risk management policies applied by the Company since the end of last year.
8
IFRS 9 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, willing parties in an arms length transaction. All financial instruments recognized at fair value are allocated to one of the valuation hierarchy levels of IFRS 7. This valuation hierarchy provides for three levels.
In the case of Level 1, valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities that the Company can refer to at the end of the 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. Since a quoted price in an active market is the most reliable indicator of fair value, this should always be used if available. Financial instruments assigned by the Company to this level comprise investments in listed mutual funds, which results for the three-month periods on March 31, 2015 and 2014, are disclosed under Interest income in the condensed interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
In the case of Level 2, 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. The Company has not valued financial instruments under this category.
In the case of Level 3, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as no market data are available. The inputs used reflect the Groups assumptions regarding the factors which market players would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the best available information for this, including internal company data. The Company has not valued financial instruments under this category.
The Companys Finance Division has a team in place in charge of estimating valuation of financial assets required to be reported in the financial statements, including the fair value of Level-3 instruments. The team directly reports to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The CFO and the valuation team discuss the valuation methods and results upon the acquisition of an asset and, if necessary, on a quarterly basis, in line with the Groups quarterly reports.
According to the Companys policy, transfers among the several categories of valuation hierarchies are recognized when occurred, or when there are changes in the prevailing circumstances requiring the transfer.
Between December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, there have been no significant changes in business or economic circumstances affecting the fair value of the Companys financial assets and liabilities (either measured at fair value or amortized cost).
In addition, no transfer has occurred among the different hierarchies used to determine the fair value of the Companys financial instruments.
4.c. 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 Notes and interest rates offered to the Company (Level 3) in connection with the remainder of loans, at the end of the period or year, as applicable, amounted to 60,795 and 53,108 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
The fair value of the following financial assets and financial liabilities do not differ significantly from their book value:
- | Other receivables |
- | Trade receivables |
- | Cash and equivalents |
- | Accounts payable |
- | Provisions |

According to IAS 34, income tax expense is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the effective income tax rate expected as of the year-end. Amounts calculated for income tax expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 may have to be adjusted in subsequent periods if, based on new judgement elements, the estimate of the effective expected income tax rate changes.

On April 30, 2015, a General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders meeting was held, which has approved the financial statements of YPF for the year ended December 31, 2014 and additionally decided the following in relation with the distribution of earnings of fiscal year ended as of December 31, 2014: (i) to appropriate the amount of 120 to a reserve for future acquisition of YPF shares under the performance and bonus program mentioned in the Directors report of the annual consolidated financial statements, giving to the Board of Directors the opportunity to acquire shares when it considers it convenient and to comply with the commitments assumed and to be assumed in relation with the mentioned program; (ii) to appropriate the amount of Ps 8,410 million to constitute a reserve for investment in accordance with the article 70, third paragraph of the Law No. 19,550 of Argentine Corporations as amended; and (iii) the appropriation to a reserve for future dividends in an amount of Ps 503 million, empowering the Board of Directors to determine the opportunity of payment which should not exceed the end of the present fiscal year.
As of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, YPF has not issued equity instruments that give rise to potential ordinary shares (considering the Companys intention of setting the share based benefit plans through treasury shares purchase), as a result, the calculation of diluted earnings per share coincides with the basic earnings per share.
The following table shows the net income and the number of shares that have been used for the calculation of the basic earnings per share:

On April 30, 2015, a General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting was held (see Note 8).
In April 2015, the Company issued Class XXXVIII and Class XXXIX Negotiable Obligations in the amount of 935 million and US$ 1,500 million, respectively. Class XXXVIII Negotiable Obligations will accrue interest at a variable rate (Badlar plus 4.75%) and principal will mature in 2020. Class XXXIX Negotiable Obligations will accrue interest at a fixed nominal annual rate of 8.5% and principal will mature in 2025.
YPF understands a complaint was filed on April 8, 2015 by Petersen Energía Inversora, S.A.U. and Petersen Energía, S.A.U. (together, Petersen), a former shareholder of YPF´s Class D shares, against the Argentine Republic and YPF S.A. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In principle, litigation is being conducted by the bankruptcy trustee of the aforesaid companies by reason of a liquidation process pending in a Spanish bankruptcy court. The complaint contains claims related to the expropriation of the controlling interest of Repsol in YPF by the Argentine Republic in 2012, alleging that it would have triggered an obligation by the Argentine Republic to make a purchase offer to the remaining shareholders. The claims appear to be primarily based on allegations that the expropriation violated contractual obligations
26
in the prospectus for YPF´s initial public offering and in YPF´s bylaws, and seeks unspecified damages. In addition, the company understands that they have attempted to serve notice of the complaint to YPF in the USA. The Company considers that such service is not valid. Based on available information related to the complaint, the Company believes that the claims brought against it, have no merit and will vigorously defend its interests. Finally, as of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, YPF has no element in possession that may permit a potential weighting of the impact of this claim on the Company.
On April 8, 2015, Resolution ENARGAS 3249/2015 was published in the Official Gazette. This resolution repeal sections 3 and 4 of Resolution ENARGAS 2407/2012, by reason of which MetroGAS was bound to (i) deposit fixed funds collected per invoice in the trust created to such end, where MetroGAS is trustor and Nación Fideicomisos S.A. trustee, and (ii) submit a plan of investments in consolidation and expansion works to annual approval. Furthermore, said Resolution ENARGAS 3249/2015 repealed Resolution ENARGAS 2767/2013 which timely modified the deposit and settlement mechanism related to fixed charges per invoice by distinguishing works due to follow-up protocol procedures from works for development certification. Consequently, by reason of the enactment of Resolution ENARGAS 3249/2015, effective from April 1, 2015, fixed amounts per invoice established under Resolution ENARGAS 2407/2012 that MetroGAS continues to invoice and collect shall not be allocated to the Management and Financial Trust created with Nación Fideicomisos, but -on the contrary- such amounts shall be allocated by MetroGAS exclusively to activities related to the expansion and reliability of systems, operating and maintenance works contributing towards compliance with rules and regulations under the Gas Code of Argentina NAG for its acronym in Spanish and to commercial and administrative activities in connection with an efficient customer service within the service rendering area, and at least 30% of such fixed amounts shall be allocated to investments in system expansion within the framework of an investment plan to be approved by ENARGAS.
On May 7, 2015, the transfer from Repsol Butano S.A. to YPF of the shares representing the 33.997% of YPF Gas S.A. interest and the transfer from Repsol Trading S.A. to YPF of the 17.79% of Oleoducto Trasandino Chile interest became effective.
As of the date of the issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, there are no other significant subsequent events that require adjustments or disclosure in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2015, which were not already considered in such consolidated financial statements according to IFRS.
