Report on the review of quarterly information – ITR
(A free translation of the original report in Portuguese, as filed with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, rules of the CVM and of the International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS)
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras
Rio de Janeiro – RJ
Introduction
We have reviewed the interim accounting information, individual and consolidated, of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras (“the Company”), included in the quarterly information form - ITR for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, which comprises individual and consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017, and the respective individual and consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine month period ended on that date, and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine month period ended on that date, including the explanatory notes.
The Company`s Management is responsible for the preparation of these interim accounting information in accordance with the CPC 21(R1) and the IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, as well as the presentation of these information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express our conclusion on this interim accounting information based on our review.
Scope of the review
We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Interim Information Review Standards (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim information consists of making inquiries primarily of the management responsible for financial and accounting matters and applying analytical procedures and other review procedures. The scope of a review is significantly less than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and, accordingly, it did not enable us to obtain assurance that we were aware of all the material matters that would have been identified in an audit. Therefore, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim accounting information
Based on our review, we are not aware of any fact that might lead us to believe that the individual and consolidated interim accounting information included in the aforementioned quarterly information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21(R1) and IAS 34, issued by the IASB, applicable to the preparation of the quarterly review - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.
Emphasis - Impact of the Lava Jato Operation on the Company’s results
We draw attention to Note 3 of the interim financial information, which describes that: i) no additional information has been identified through the date of this accounting information which could materially impact the estimation methodology adopted for the write off recorded on September 30, 2014 ; and ii) the internal investigations being conducted by outside legal counsel under the supervision of a Special Committee created by the Company and the investigation conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission - SEC are still on going, nevertheless to date no additional impact to those already disclosed in the interim financial statements has been identified.
We also draw attention to Note 29.4 of the interim accounting information which describes class actions filed against the Company, for which it is unable to make a reliable estimates of loss.
Our report is not modified as a result of these matters.

Other matters - Statements of added value
The individual and consolidated statements of value added for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management, and presented as supplementary information for the purposes of IAS 34, were submitted to the same review procedures followed together with the review of the Company's interim financial information. In order to form our conclusion, we evaluated whether these statements were reconciliated to the interim financial information and to the accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria set on Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statements of value added were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
Corresponding balances related to the prior year audit and corresponding balances to the second quarter review of the prior year
The corresponding balances related to the individual and consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 were audited by other independent auditors, who issued an unqualified report dated March 21, 2017, and the individual and consolidated interim statements of and the respective statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2016, and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, that were reviewed by other independent auditors who issued an unqualified report dated November 10, 2016. The corresponding balances related to the individual and consolidated statements of value added for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 were submitted to the same review procedures by those independent auditors and, based on their review, those independent auditors reported that they were not aware of any fact that would lead them to believe that the statement of value added was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the individual and consolidated interim accounting information taken as a whole.

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras is a company controlled by the Brazilian government dedicated, directly or through its subsidiaries (referred to jointly as “Petrobras”, “the Company”, or “Petrobras Group”), either independently or through joint ventures or similar arrangements with third parties, to prospecting, drilling, refining, processing, trading and transporting crude oil from producing onshore and offshore oil fields and from shale or other rocks, as well as oil products, natural gas and other liquid hydrocarbons. In addition, Petrobras carries out energy related activities, such as research, development, production, transport, distribution and trading of all forms of energy, as well as other related or similar activities. The Company’s head office is located in Rio de Janeiro – RJ, Brazil.
This consolidated interim financial information has been prepared and presented in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and also in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil for interim financial reporting (CPC 21 - R1).
This parent company interim financial information has been prepared and is being presented in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil for interim financial reporting (CPC 21 - R1) and does not differ from the consolidated information.
This interim financial information presents the significant changes in the period, avoiding repetition of certain notes to the financial statements previously reported, and presents the consolidated information, considering Management’s understanding that it provides a comprehensive view of the Company’s financial position and operational performance. Certain information about the parent company is also included. Hence, this interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, which include the full set of notes.
The Company’s Board of Directors in a meeting held on November 13, 2017 authorized the issuance of these consolidated interim financial information.
2.1. |
Accounting estimates |
The preparation of interim financial information requires the use of estimates and assumptions for certain assets, liabilities and other transactions. These estimates and assumptions include: oil and gas reserves and their impacts to other parts of the financial statements, the main assumptions and cash-generating units identified for impairment testing of assets, pension and medical benefits liabilities, provisions for legal proceedings, dismantling of areas and environmental remediation, deferred income taxes, cash flow hedge accounting and allowance for impairment of trade receivables. Although our management uses assumptions and judgments that are periodically reviewed, the actual results could differ from these estimates.
For further information on accounting estimates, see note 5 to the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras
Notes to the financial statements (Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated) |
In the third quarter of 2014, the Company wrote off R$ 6,194 (R$ 4,788 in the Parent Company) of capitalized costs representing estimated amounts that Petrobras overpaid for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment in prior years. For further information see note 3 to the Company’s December 31, 2016 audited consolidated financial statements.
In preparing its interim financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2017, the Company considered all available information and did not identify any additional information in the investigations related to the “Lava Jato” (Car Wash) investigation by the Brazilian authorities or by the independent law firms conducting an internal investigation that could materially impact or change the methodology adopted to recognize the write-off taken in the third quarter of 2014. The Company continues to monitor the investigations for additional information and will review their potential impacts on the adjustment made.
To the extent that any of the proceedings resulting from the Lava Jato investigation involve new leniency agreements with companies or plea agreements with individuals pursuant to which they agree to return funds, Petrobras may be entitled to receive a portion of such funds and will recognize them as other income and expenses when received. Nevertheless, the Company is unable to reliably estimate further recoverable amounts at this moment. Any recoverable amount will be recognized as income when received or when their economic benefits become virtually certain.
Until the period ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized R$ 815 (R$ 661 until December 31, 2016), as other income and expenses with respect to compensation for damages resulting from leniency agreements, of which R$ 734 was already received and the remaining R$ 81 was recognized as accounts receivable at September 30, 2017 and collected in October 2017.
We have been formally recognized as a victim of the crimes identified under the Lava Jato investigation by the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor’s Office, the lower court hearing the case and by the Brazilian Supreme Court. As a result, we have joined 41 criminal proceedings as an assistant to the prosecutor. In addition, we have entered into four criminal proceedings as an interested party. We have also renewed our commitment to continue cooperating with authorities to clarify the issues and report them regularly to our investors and to the public in general.

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras
Notes to the financial statements (Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated) |
The consolidated interim accounting information includes the interim accounting information of Petrobras, its subsidiaries, its assets and liabilities within joint operations and consolidated structured entities.
There were no significant changes in the Company’s basis of consolidation of entities in the period ended September 30, 2017 when compared to December 31, 2016, except for the disposal of the subsidiary Nova Transportadora do Sudeste - NTS, on April 4, 2017, as set out in note 9.
The same accounting policies and methods of computation were followed in these consolidated interim financial statements as those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Formal Notice from CVM – Hedge accounting
Since mid-May 2013, the Company has designated cash flow hedging relationships, in which (a) the hedged items are portions of our highly probable future monthly export revenues in U.S. dollars, (b) the hedging instruments are portions of our long term debt obligations denominated in U.S. dollars, and (c) the risk hedged is the effect of changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the functional currency, the real. For more information, see note 31.2 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
On March 7, 2017, the Company received a formal notice from the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM) requesting that the Company restate its annual and interim financial statements since the second quarter of 2013. This notice requested that the Company restate the effects of the hedge accounting policy application relating to the cash flow hedge involving the Company’s future exports. The Company appealed the CVM decision and reaffirmed its view that its accounting policy has been correctly applied.
In July 2017, the CVM’s collegiate body accepted the Company’s appeal and dismissed the formal notice, which reinforced the correct application of the accounting policy by the Company.

(*) In 2017, additions include R$ 894 from the finance lease agreement termination relating to the Vitória 10,000 drilling rig. In 2016, additions include: R$ 1,242 from electricity sector and R$ 2,045 from losses on advances to suppliers, as well as assumed debt and termination costs relating to the agreement with the Ecovix shipyard. |
7.3.1. |
Allowance for impairment of receivable relating to the Vitória 10,000 drilling rig |
On May, 22 2017, the Company terminated a finance lease agreement relating to the Vitória 10,000 drilling rig, owned by the indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Drill Ship International BV – DSI BV and leased to the Deep Black Drilling LLP – DBD, an entity from Schahin group. On July 19, 2017, a court ruling confirmed this contract termination and, shortly after, Schahin filed a request to suspend its effects, which was denied by the court on July 28, 2017.
Due to the finance lease agreement termination, the Company assessed the value in use of the drilling rig based on the cash flows projected to arise from its commitment to certain Petrobras Group projects, and compared it to the carrying amount of the finance lease receivable at June 30, 2017. As result, the Company wrote-down R$ 818 as other income and expenses in the second quarter of 2017.
In addition, on August 9, 2017, measures were adopted to obtain possession of this drilling rig, which effectively occurred on August 16, 2017. As a result of this matter, in the third quarter of 2017 the Company added R$ 76 to the allowance for impairment due to additions to the finance lease receivable and contractual fine, as well as derecognized the finance lease receivable and recognized the drilling rig as equipment within Property, plant and equipment, in the amount of RS$ 1,224.

(*) Transfer of overdue receivables from Cigás to AME, pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement of natural gas (upstream and downstream) entered into by Petrobras, Cigás and AME. |
||||||||
|
The Company supplies fuel oil, natural gas, and other products to entities that operate in the state of Manaus and in the isolated electricity system in the northern region of Brazil, such as thermoelectric power plants controlled by Eletrobras, state-owned natural gas distribution companies and independent electricity producers (Produtores Independentes de Energia – PIE). The isolated electricity system provides the public service of electricity distribution in the northern region of Brazil as the Brazilian National Interconnected Power Grid (Sistema Interligado Nacional) has not yet met the demand for electricity due to technical or economic reasons.
A significant portion of the funds used by those companies to pay for products supplied by the Company came from the Fuel Consumption Account (Conta de Consumo de Combustível – CCC), which provides funds to cover a portion of the costs related to the supply of fuel to thermoelectric power plants located in the northern region of Brazil (operating in the isolated electricity system). However, as a result of changes in the CCC regulations over time, principally relating to Provisional Measure 579/2012 which significantly changed the sources of funds that were used to cover the cost of electricity generated in the Isolated Electricity System, funds transferred from the CCC to these electricity companies have not been sufficient for them to meet their financial obligations and, as a result, some have not been able to pay the total amount for the products supplied by the Company, increasing the default rate of those customers to the Company, notably from AME.
The Company intensified negotiations with the state-owned natural gas distribution companies, the independent electricity producers (PIEs), other private companies and entities controlled by Eletrobras. As a result, on December 31, 2014, the Company entered into a debt acknowledgement agreement with subsidiaries of Eletrobras with respect to the balance of its receivables as of November 30, 2014. Eletrobras acknowledged it owed R$ 8,601 to the Company, of which R$ 7,380 were collateralized by payables from the Brazilian Energy Development Account (Conta de Desenvolvimento Energético ‐ CDE) to the CCC. This amount has been adjusted by the Selic interest rate (Brazilian short-term interest rate) on a monthly basis and the first of 120 monthly installments was paid in February 2015.
The contractual amortization clauses in the debt acknowledgement agreement establish the payment of 15% of the amount of renegotiated debt within 36 months and the remaining 85% to be paid in 84 installments beginning in January 2018. Therefore, the Company expects the balance of trade receivables from the electricity sector will decrease from 2018 onwards as the amounts to be received will be higher than inflation indexation on debt acknowledgement agreements. Despite some periodic delays, these payments have continued.
In order to mitigate an increase in default rates, on September 1, 2015 the Brazilian National Electricity Agency (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica - ANEEL) enacted the Normative Instruction 679 enabling the Company to receive funds directly from the CCC, as these funds would be paid directly from the CCC for products supplied in the prior month with a limit of 75% of the average payments made by the CCC in the previous three months.
The Company had expected that the abovementioned rule would have strengthened the financial situation of the companies in the electricity sector. However, this had not occurred and the level of these defaults had increased. Accordingly, in 2016, the Company recognized R$ 1,242 as allowance for impairment of trade receivables (net of reversals) with respect to uncollateralized outstanding receivables.
Accordingly, the Company has adopted the following measures:

Petrobras parent company registered AME as a delinquent company in ANEEL records from April 2016 to May 2017. In May 2017, ANEEL canceled this registration alleging fuel purchases are non intra sector debt. The Company has appealed the ANEEL decision. |
In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company accounted for allowances for impairment of trade receivables, net of reversals, totaling R$ 307 (R$ 1,215 in the same period of 2016) primarily due to unsecure overdue receivables related to supplies of fuel oil and natural gas, partially offset by overdue receivables paid by Celpa.

The amount of inventories is presented net of R$ 7 reducing inventories to net realizable value (R$ 92 as of December 31, 2016), primarily due to changes in international prices of crude oil and oil products.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had pledged crude oil and oil products volumes as collateral for the Terms of Financial Commitment (TFC) signed by Petrobras and Petros in 2008, in the amount of R$ 12,091 (R$ 6,449 as of December 31, 2016), as set out in note 21.

The Company has an effective divestment and venture program which takes into account opportunities for divestments in several areas where it operates. The divestment portfolio is dynamic, meaning that market conditions, legal matters and negotiations may affect the Company’s evaluation of ongoing and potential transactions.
On December 7, 2016, the Brazilian Federal Auditor’s Office (Tribunal de Contas da União – TCU) filed a civil action prohibiting the Company from commencing additional divestment projects and entering into sales agreements, except for transactions in their final stages at that time. After the TCU’s assessment of the divestments decision-making methodology and the Company’s review of its divestment policies, the TCU’s civil action was dismissed, allowing the progress of the divestment and venture program to continue based on the revised methodology.
Accordingly, the Company’s Executive Board approved the new divestment portfolio on March 30, 2017, consisting of projects that follow the revised divestment methodology in compliance with the TCU’s decision.

Disposal of Assets |
Disposal of distribution assets in Chile
On July 22, 2016, the Company signed a sale and purchase agreement with the Southern Cross Group for the sale of 100% of Petrobras Chile Distribución Ltda (PCD), a group entity from the distribution business segment, held through Petrobras Caribe Ltda.
This transaction was concluded on January 4, 2017 and the net proceeds from this sale were US$ 470 million, of which US$ 90 million was received via distribution of dividends after taxes on December 9, 2016 and the remaining US$ 380 million was paid by Southern Cross Group at the transaction closing. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain of R$ 2 as other income and expenses, in the first quarter of 2017, taking into account the impairment of R$ 266 at December 31, 2016.
In addition, a R$ 248 loss was recycled from shareholders’ equity to other income and expenses within the income statement, reflecting the reclassification of cumulative translation adjustments resulting from the depreciation of the Chilean Peso against the U.S. Dollar from the time of the acquisition of this investment to its disposal (see note 22.2).
Disposal of interest in Nova Transportadora do Sudeste (NTS) and related changes in organizational structure
After a corporate restructuring intended to concentrate the transportation assets of the southeastern region in Nova Transportadora do Sudeste – NTS, a group entity from the gas and power business segment, the Company’s Board of Directors approved on September 22, 2016 the sale of a 90% interest in NTS to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP) and its affiliates, through a Private Equity Investment Fund (FIP) whose other shareholders are British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCIMC), CIC Capital Corporation (wholly-owned subsidiary of China Investment Corporation - CIC) and GIC Private Limited (GIC).
The following changes in organizational structure occurred as part of this process:
|
• |
The Extraordinary General Meeting of NTS, held on October 21, 2016, approved an increase to its share capital in the amount of R$ 2.31 billion, based on an independent expert report dated on October 14, 2016, through net assets of the Company’s subsidiary Transportadora Associada de Gás S.A. - TAG. This capital increase required the approval of the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency - ANP through the issuance of Permissions of Provisional Operation (Autorizações de Operação Provisórias); |
|
• |
The Extraordinary General Meeting of the TAG, held on October 21, 2016, approved a reduction to its share capital, via a capital surplus, in the amount of its investment in NTS (R$ 2.6 billion) and transfer of all of its interest in NTS to Petrobras, as occurred on October 24, 2016 pursuant to the Permissions of Provisional Operation. |
This transaction prescribes the maintenance of charge capacity and also the same terms of five Firm Gas Transportation Agreements including 100% ship-or-pay clauses. These agreements have terms of 20 years from 2016 and their rates are indexed to the Brazilian General Market Price Index (IGP-M) and regulated by the ANP.

Notes to the financial statements (Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated) |
On April 4, 2017, after performing all conditions precedent and adjustments provided for in the purchase and sale agreement, this transaction was completed in the amount of US$ 5.08 billion upon the payment of US$ 4.23 billion on this date, of which US$ 2.59 billion relates to the sale of shares, US$ 100 million relates to an escrow account pledged as collateral for charges associated with the repair of pipelines, and US$ 1.64 billion relates to the issuance of convertible debentures by NTS, maturing in 10 years, as a replacement of the debt to PGT. The remaining balance (US$ 850 million, also relating to the sale of shares) will be paid in the fifth year, bearing annual interests at a fixed rate, as established in the purchase and sale agreement.
At June 30, 2017, the Company recognized a gain on this transaction in the amount of R$ 6,977 accounted for as other income and expenses, which includes a R$ 698 gain on remeasurement of retained interests. This amount was subject to price adjustments according to the purchase and sale agreement.
On October 10, 2017, the final price adjustment was settled, in the amount of R$ 63, totaling a gain of US$ 7,040 on this transaction.
Disposal of Guarani
On December 28, 2016, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Petrobras Biocombustível S.A. (PBIO), from the biofuels business segment, disposed of its interests in the associate Guarani S.A. (45.97% of share capital) to Tereos Participations SAS, an entity of the French group Tereos.
On February 3, 2017, this transaction was concluded pursuant to the payment of US$ 203 million, after all conditions precedent were performed by Tereos Participations SAS. At December 31, 2016, an impairment loss amounting to R$ 578 was accounted for.
Additionally, a gain of R$ 132 was recycled from shareholders’ equity to other income and expenses within the income statement, reflecting the reclassification of cumulative translation adjustment resulting from the appreciation of Mozambican Metical against the Brazilian Real from the acquisition of this investment to its disposal (see note 22.2). This gain was partially offset by a R$ 69 loss also recycled from shareholders’ equity to other income and expenses, reflecting cumulative losses relating to cash flow hedge accounting.
Disposal of Liquigás
On November 17, 2016 the Company’s Board of Directors approved the disposal of its wholly-owned subsidiary Liquigás Distribuidora S.A, a group entity from the RT&M business segment (Refining, Transportation and Marketing), to Companhia Ultragaz S.A., a subsidiary of Ultrapar Participações S.A.. Accordingly, the related assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2016, as this transaction was subject to approval at Ultrapar’s and Petrobras’ Shareholders’ Meetings, as well as the approval of CADE.
In January 2017, this sale was approved at Ultrapar’s and Petrobras’ Shareholders’ Meetings in the amount of R$ 2.7 billion.
According to an official statement released by the Brazilian Antitrust Regulator (CADE) in June 2017, additional diligence was required in order to conclude on market concentration aspects of this sale. In August 2017, the CADE reported some concerns about market concentration that may result from this transaction. However, the CADE’s conclusion is still under assessment and additional procedures may be necessary.
The Company has performed a regular assessment on the progress of CADE’s evaluations on this transaction and no new factors that could change the commitment to its plan to sell Liquigás have been identified. Based on this assessment and other pending conditions precedent to the transaction, including the aforementioned approval by CADE, the related assets and liabilities remained classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2017.
Disposal of Suape and Citepe petrochemical plants
On December 28, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the disposal of the interests in the wholly-owned subsidiaries Companhia Petroquímica de Pernambuco (PetroquímicaSuape) and Companhia Integrada Têxtil de Pernambuco (Citepe), both from the RT&M business segment, to Grupo Petrotemex S.A. de C.V. and Dak Americas Exterior, S.L., both subsidiaries of Alpek, S.A.B. de C.V., which is a company from Grupo Alfa S.A.B. de C.V. (a Mexican public company), in the amount of US$ 385 million, which will be totally disbursed at the transaction closing. This amount remains subject to adjustments relating to working capital, net debt and recoverable taxes.
On February 21, 2017, the transaction was approved at the Grupo Alfa’s Board of Directors Meeting and, on March 27, 2017, at Petrobras’ Shareholders’ Meeting.
According to an official statement released by the Brazilian Antitrust Regulator (CADE) on October 10, 2017, additional diligence was required in order to conclude on market concentration aspects of this sale.

Strategic alliance with Total
On December 21, 2016, the Company entered into a master agreement with Total, in connection with the Strategic Alliance established in the Memorandum of Understanding signed on October 24, 2016. Accordingly, certain E&P assets were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2016 due to the share of interests established in this agreement, as described below:
|
• |
Transfer of the Company’s 22.5% stake in the concession area named as Iara, comprising Sururu, Berbigão and West of Atapu fields, which are subject to unitization agreements with Entorno de Iara (an area under the Assignment Agreement in which the Company holds 100% and is located in the Block BM-S-11). The Company will continue to operate the block; |
|
• |

|
• |
Transfer of the Company’s 50% interests in the power plants Celso Furtado and Rômulo Almeida. In 2016, the Company recognized an impairment loss on this transaction in the amount of R$ 156. |
On February 28, 2017, the Company and Total signed purchase and sale agreements with respect to the aforementioned assets. Total will pay to the Company the amount of US$ 1,675 million in cash for assets and services, as well as contingent payments in the amount of US$ 150 million, associated with the production volume in Iara field. In addition, a long-term line of credit in the amount of US$ 400 million will be provided by Total, which may be used to fund the Company’s investments in the Iara fields.
The aforementioned agreements adds up to the ones already executed on December 21, 2016, such as: (i) the option for Petrobras to purchase a 20% interest in block 2 of the Perdido Foldbelt area, in the Mexican sector of the Gulf of Mexico, (ii) the joint exploration studies in the exploratory areas of Equatorial Margin and in Santos Basin; and (iii) the Technological partnership agreement in the areas of digital petrophysics, geological processing and subsea production systems.
These transactions are still subject to approval by the relevant authorities, the potential exercise of preemptive rights by current Iara partners, and other customary conditions precedent.
The Company has performed a regular assessment on the progress of conditions precedent to the transaction and no new factors that could change the commitment to its plan to sell these assets were identified. Accordingly, the related assets and liabilities remained classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, the quoted market value of the Company’s investment in Braskem was R$ 12,307, based on the quoted values of both Petrobras’ interest in Braskem’s common stock (47% of the outstanding shares), and preferred stock (22% of the outstanding shares). However, there is extremely limited trading of the common shares, since non-signatories of the shareholders’ agreement hold only approximately 3% of the common shares.
Given the operational relationship between Petrobras and Braskem, at December 31, 2016, the recoverable amount of the investment for impairment testing purposes was determined based on its value in use, considering future cash flow projections and the manner in which the Company can derive value from this investment via dividends and other distributions to arrive at its value in use. As the recoverable amount was higher than the carrying amount, no impairment losses were recognized for this investment.
The main assumptions on which cash flow projections were based to determine Braskem’s value in use are set out in note 14 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

In addition to the capital commitments previously reported and in line with the investments foreseen in the Strategic Plan and the 2017-2021 Business and Management Plan, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 the Company entered into agreements for the acquisition and construction of property, plant and equipment, especially the contract for the conclusion of the hull conversion of FPSO P-76, in the amount of R$ 1,644, and the contract for the supply of flexible pipelines for the production, gas lifting and water injection in many pre-salt projects, in the total amount of R$ 1,970, expiring in March 2018 and May 2022, respectively.
At September 30, 2017, consolidated and Parent Company property, plant and equipment include assets under finance leases of R$ 394 and R$ 6,048, respectively (R$ 407 and R$ 6,004 at December 31, 2016).
11.2. |
Concession for exploration of oil and natural gas - Assignment Agreement (“Cessão Onerosa”) |
Petrobras and the Brazilian Federal Government entered into the Assignment Agreement in 2010, which grants the Company the right to carry out prospecting and drilling activities for oil, natural gas and other liquid hydrocarbons located in the pre-salt area, subject to a maximum production of five billion barrels of oil equivalent. The agreement has a term of forty years and is renewable for a further five years subject to certain conditions. As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s property, plant and equipment include the amount of R$ 74,808 related to the Assignment Agreement.
The agreement establishes that its review procedures will commence immediately after the declaration of commerciality for each area and must be based on reports by independent experts engaged by Petrobras and the ANP. The review of the Assignment Agreement, which will determine if the value of acquired rights is greater or lower than the amount initially paid by the Company, will be concluded after the assessment of all the areas.
Petrobras has already declared commerciality in fields of all six blocks under this agreement: Franco (Búzios), Florim (Itapu), Nordeste de Tupi (Sépia), Entorno de Iara (Norte de Berbigão, Sul de Berbigão, Norte de Sururu, Sul de Sururu, Atapu), Sul de Guará (Sul de Sapinhoá) and Sul de Tupi (Sul de Lula).

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras
Notes to the financial statements (Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated) |
If the review of the Assignment Agreement determines that the value of acquired rights is greater than the amount initially paid, the Company may be required to pay the difference to the Brazilian Federal Government, or may proportionally reduce the total volume of barrels acquired under the agreement in order to match with the amount originally paid. If the review determines that the value of the acquired rights is lower than initially paid by the Company, the Brazilian Federal Government will reimburse the Company for the difference by delivering cash or bonds or equivalent means of payment, subject to budgetary regulations.
The formal review procedures for each block are based on costs incurred over the exploration phase and estimated costs and production for the development period. The review of the Assignment Agreement may result in renegotiation in: (i) the amount of the agreement; (ii) the total volume (in barrels of oil) to be produced; (iii) the term of the agreement; and (iv) the minimum percentages of local content.
The information gathered after drilling over 50 exploratory wells and performing extended well tests in this area, as well as the extensive knowledge acquired on the pre-salt layer of Santos Basin, made possible the identification of volumes exceeding five million barrels of oil equivalent.
The Company considers this surplus provides an opportunity to enter into an agreement concerning the compensation to the Company arising from this review. Therefore, aiming to support an eventual negotiation where this compensation would be paid through the right over exceeding volume, the Company is complementing its assessment based on reports issued by its independent experts engaged.
Currently, the final amount to be established for this agreement is not defined. The beginning of negotiation with the Brazilian Federal Government, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2017, still depends on the conclusion of the appraisals by independent experts engaged by both parties and the issuance of the respective reports.
The Minority Shareholders Committee, created on October 21, 2016, will monitor this agreement review process and will provide support to the board’s decisions through opinions about related matters.

Notes to the financial statements (Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated) |
The Company’s assets are tested for impairment annually, or whenever there is an indication that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.
13.1. |
Impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and assets held for sale |
Jan-Sep 2017
In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized impairment losses (net of reversals) amounting to R$ 351, mainly reflecting:
a) Araucaria Nitrogenados - write down to the recoverable amount of assets relating to the wholly-owned subsidiary Araucaria Nitrogenados S.A. Indications of impairment were identified during this period, such as lower sales volume and prices, as well as higher production costs. Therefore, the Company assessed the related assets for impairment and, as a result, an impairment charge of R$ 224 was recognized primarily in the second quarter of 2017. The determination of value in use was based on cash flow projections reflecting financial budget and forecasts approved by the management and a post-tax real discount rate of 6.6% p.a. (7.8% p.a. in 2016) derived for the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the fertilizer business; and
b) COMPERJ - impairment losses of R$ 129 were recognized during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 for work in progress relating to the infrastructure shared by COMPERJ’s first refining unit and the natural gas processing plant (UPGN) necessary for the transport and processing of natural gas from the pre-salt layer of the Santos Basin.
Jan-Sep 2016
During September 2016, indications of impairment were identified for certain assets, which triggered their impairment assessment due to changes mainly driven by a slower recovery of oil prices, a decrease in future capital expenditures, reflecting the Company’s plan to reduce current debt levels and optimize its investment portfolio, as well as changes in the Brazilian political and economic landscape.
These changes impacted the medium and long term assumptions used in the Company’s Business and Management Plan finalized and approved in the third quarter of 2016, also impacting the key assumptions for impairment testing. Changes in the political and economic landscape in Brazil also resulted in increases in discount rates applied for impairment testing purposes at September 30, 2016.
Impairment losses, net of reversals, totaled R$ 16,770 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 as shown below:

In order to ensure the goals of the Company and align them with transparency of processes and corporate governance best practices, this policy provides for assumptions to guide Petrobras and its workforce while entering into related-party transactions and dealing with potential conflicts of interest on these transactions, such as: (i) related-party transactions must be executed on an arm’s length basis; (ii) must be completely and accurately presented in the Company’s reports, in accordance with applicable rules and; (iii) the Audit Committee must assess in advance transactions between the Company and its associates, the Brazilian Federal Government (including its agencies or similar bodies and controlled entities), as well as transactions with entities controlled by key management personnel or by their close family members, with monthly reporting of these assessments to the Board of Directors, for transactions that meet the materiality criteria established in CVM Instruction 480/09.
Transactions with the Brazilian Federal Government, including its agencies or similar bodies and controlled entities, which are under the scope of Board of Directors approval, must be preceded by the Audit Committee, Finance Committee and Minority Shareholders Committee assessment and must have prior approval of, at least, 2/3 of the board members.
The related-party transactions policy also aims to ensure an adequate and diligent decision-making process for the Company’s key management.

Tax Settlement Program (Programa de Regularização Tributária - PRT) |
The PRT enabled reliefs to settle tax and non-tax debts overdue up to November 30, 2016 to the Brazilian Federal Tax Authorities (Brazilian Federal Revenue Service and National Treasury Attorney's Office).
The Company joined the program to settle, principally, proceedings at administrative level totaling R$ 1,660, for which outflow of resources were probable, related to disallowed tax credits applied for income taxes and other Brazilian Federal taxes computation.
After assessing the reliefs provided by the PRT, the Company decided to settle the total debt of these tax disputes (R$ 1,660) with the benefit of using tax loss carry forwards to pay R$ 1,328, of which R$ 821 was already used at September 30, 2017 and R$ 507 will be used in up to 12 months. The amount of R$ 332 was settled in a lump sum payment.
After joining the PRT in May 2017, the Company recognized a reversal of provisions for legal proceedings previously recognized for this matter in the amount of R$ 1,560. The impacts of this program were accounted for in the second quarter of 2017 within the Company’s statement of income amounting to R$ 264 after tax effects, as shown in note 20.2.4.
20.2.2. |
Special Tax Settlement Program (Programa Especial de Regularização Tributária - PERT) |
The PERT enabled reliefs to settle tax and non-tax debts overdue up to April 30, 2017 to the Brazilian Federal Tax Authorities (Brazilian Federal Revenue Service and National Treasury Attorney's Office), including amounts under disputes involving these authorities.
The Company elected to join the PERT to settle the legal proceeding, in the amount of R$ 6,541, with respect to a notice of deficiency issued due to the use of expenses arising from the Terms of Financial Commitment (TFC), signed by Petrobras and Petros Plan in 2008, as deductible in determining taxable profit. The TFC represents a commitment to cover obligations due to participants’ accepted changes in the plan benefits and disputes resolved at that period.
The court ruled on this matter in the second quarter of 2017 granting the deduction of these expenses from the taxable profit computation, but limited to 20% of the payroll and compensation of key management participants in the plan. After assessing the fundamentals of this court ruling, the Company reassessed the probability of outflow of resources with respect to this dispute and estimated a portion of it as probable.

Notes to the financial statements (Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated) |
The Company was not able to use tax loss carry forwards to settle this amount as this tax dispute was in the scope of the National Treasury Attorney's Office. Accordingly, an assessment of the other reliefs was performed and, as a result, the Company decided to settle this tax dispute, totaling R$ 6,541, by paying R$ 4,356, which takes into account the benefits reliefs on interests, penalties and related charges. Of this amount, R$ 1,308 was settled in cash in August 2017, and the remaining amount will be settled through 145 monthly installments bearing interest at Selic interest rate (Brazilian short-term interest rate), of which the first one will mature in January 2018.
Pursuant to the Provisional Measure 807/2017 enacted on October 31, 2017, the period to join this program was extended from August 31 to November 14, 2017. Therefore, the Company decided in the third quarter of 2017 to settle other disputes relating to debts in the scope of the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service amounting to R$ 718, following unfavorable court rulings that changed the Company’s estimates about probability of outflow of resources to probable. After the relief under the PERT, the total amount of these disputes was reduced to R$ 394, of which R$ 325 will be settled in January 2018 through a lump sum payment, and the remaining R$ 69 will be paid through 145 monthly installments. These disputes refer to:
|
• |
Tax dispute relating to the use of tax benefit under the Thermoelectric Priority Program (Programa Prioritário de Termeletricidade) established by the Decree 3.371/2000, that allegedly enabled total relief (zero rate) of tax on imported products (Imposto de Importação –II) and the tax on manufactured products (Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados-IPI) over the import of certain equipment necessary for setting up electricity generation units. After the reliefs provided for by PERT, this tax dispute in the amount of R$ 330 was reduced to R$ 150; |
|
• |
Tax dispute relating to the use of certain tax loss carry forwards as deduction from the computation of taxable income. After the reliefs provided for by this program, this tax dispute in the amount of R$ 120 will be settled by paying R$ 63; |
|
• |
Other debts related to contributions to private social service and vocational training entities linked to trade unions, as well as PIS and COFINS (Social Integration Program and Social Security Financing). These amounts totaled R$ 80 that, after the relief provided for by this program was reduced to R$ 60; and |
|
• |
The wholly-owned subsidiaries Transpetro and BR also decided to settle Brazilian federal taxes disputes amounting to R$ 188. After the relief on interest, penalties and related charges, this amount will be settled by paying R$ 121. |
Accordingly, the Company recognized the amount of R$ 6,347 within the statement of income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, made up of tax debts after reliefs and tax effects amounting to R$ 4,084, reversals of deferred income tax assets for unused tax losses from 2012 to 2017 amounting to R$ 2,287 and reversal of provisions previously recognized totaling R$ 24, as shown in note 20.2.4.
In addition, the Company decided to use additional benefits pursuant to the Law No. 13,496/2017 enacted in October 2017 in order to reduce the debit related to Petros Plan under the PERT settlement program by R$ 395 after tax effects. This effect will be included in the income statement for the fourth quarter of 2017.
20.2.3. |
Non-Tax Debts Settlement Program (Programa de Regularização de Débitos não Tributários - PRD) |
The PRD enabled relief to settle non-tax debts overdue to the Brazilian Federal Agencies and similar bodies up to October 25, 2017, including amounts under disputes and debts in the scope of other settlement programs involving these authorities.
The Company joined the PRD to settle some legal proceedings involving ANP, with respect to production tax debts for which the likelihood of losses were deemed probable, following a court ruling in August 2017 granting to ANP its arguments.
After assessing the benefits from relief on interest, penalties and related charges provided for by this program, the Company decided to settle these disputes, totaling R$ 1,076 by paying R$ 718, of which R$ 430 will be settled in a lump sum payment in the fourth quarter of 2017 and the settlement of the remaining R$ 288 is expected to occur in January 2018.
Accordingly, the Company recognized R$ 519 within the statement of income for the nine-month period ended September 20, 2017, after tax effects, as shown in note 20.2.4.

State Law
On December 30, 2015, the state of Rio de Janeiro enacted laws that increased the tax burden on the oil industry since March 2016, as follows:
|
• |
Law No. 7,182 – establishes a Rate Control, Monitoring and Supervision of Research, Mining, Oil and Gas Exploration and Utilization Activities tax (Taxa de Controle, Monitoramento e Fiscalização das Atividades de Pesquisa, Lavra, Exploração e Aproveitamento de Petróleo e Gás – TFPG) over each barrel of crude oil or equivalent unit of natural gas extracted in the State of Rio de Janeiro, and |
|
• |
Law No. 7,183 – establishes a VAT (ICMS) tax over transactions involving crude oil operations. |
The Company believes that the taxation established by both laws is not legally justifiable, and therefore, the Company has supported the Brazilian Association of Companies for the Exploration and Production of Oil and Gas (ABEP - Associação Brasileira de Empresas de Exploração e Produção de Petróleo e Gás), which has filed complaints challenging the constitutionality of such laws before the Brazilian Supreme Court.
The Brazilian Federal Attorney has expressed favorable opinions regarding the basis of the ABEP complaints and the granting of judicial injunctions in favor of the oil and gas industry, to avoid the associated tax burden imposed on it.
As the Brazilian Supreme Court has not ruled on the ABEP request for formal injunctions, the Company filed individual complaints before the State Court of Rio de Janeiro challenging both laws and, as a result, judicial injunctions were granted in favor of the Company in December 2016 and this tax burden has been suspended.
Brazilian Federal Law
During the third quarter of 2017, the Brazilian Federal Government enacted new tax rules applicable to the oil and gas industry.
On August 18, 2017, the Decree No. 9,128 and Provisional Measure No. 795 were enacted, providing for extension of relief on temporary admissions under Repetro (Special Customs Regime for the Export and Import of Goods destined to Exploration and Production of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves) to 2040, as well as amendments to certain matter, mainly concerning to:
• |
Changes in Repetro’s methodology to be effective on January 1, 2018, ensuring tax relief on goods destined to sector in accordance with timeframes provided for by relevant rules; |
• |
Creation of a special regime for the acquisition and industrialization of goods with definitive permanence in Brazil and destined to the exploration and production of oil and natural gas ; |
• |
Deduction from income taxes basis of computation of investments made in the oil gas exploration and production phases; and |
• |
New rules relating to the determination of withholding income tax on remittances for payment of vessels charters. |
These regulations are still subject to the Brazilian National Congress approval and, therefore, the Company is currently unable to make a reliable estimate of the respective financial impacts.
The company has disputes regarding the immediate deduction of crude oil production development costs from the basis of computation of taxable income, and also related to withholding income tax on remittances vessels charters payments. Additional information on these disputes is presented in note 29.3. Following the approval of the new taxation model of the sector by the Brazilian National Congress, it is expected greater stability and legal security to the companies, allowing an increase in investments and reduction of litigation involving the oil and industry.
In addition, ANP enacted Resolution No. 703 on September 26, 2017, establishing new criteria of reference price for the calculation of production taxes. The new calculation will be effective on January 1, 2018 and will be applied gradually to 2022, starting from a percentage of 20% according to the new rules. The new reference price for production taxes calculation takes into account different characteristics of the product in each exploratory area.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had pledged crude oil and oil products volumes, totaling R$ 12,091, as collateral for the Terms of Financial Commitment (TFC) signed by Petrobras and Petros in 2008 (R$ 6,449 as of December 31, 2016). The amount of collateral for the Terms of Financial Commitment (TFC) was revised and updated in the third quarter of 2017 so as to reflect the increase in the commitments assumed.
In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company's contribution to the defined contribution portion of the Petros Plan 2 was R$ 656 (R$ 619 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016) recognized in the statement of income.
Deficit settlement plan - Petros
Petros’ financial statements for 2016 were approved by the Executive Council of Petros on May 26, 2017 and presented an accumulated deficit of R$ 26.7 billion (R$ 22.6 billion accumulated deficit until 2015) in the Petros Plan of the Petrobras Group, according to the general accepted accounting standards for the post-retirement sector, regulated in Brazil by the Post-Retirement Benefit Federal Council – CNPC.
On June 19, 2017, the Superintendency of Post-retirement Benefits (PREVIC) issued the Conduct Adjustment Declaration (TAC) for Petros, determining a deadline for the implementation of its plan for reduction of the accumulated deficit computed at the end of 2015.
54
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras
Notes to the financial statements (Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated) |
On September 12, 2017, the Executive Council of Petros approved the deficit of the year 2015 to be settled and addressed it to the Company. It is expected this amount may reach R$ 27.7 billion due to interest and inflation forecasts to December 2017.
The Company assessed the deficit settlement plan and submitted it for the approval of the Secretariat of Management and Governance for the State-owned Companies (Secretaria de Coordenação e Governança das Empresas Estatais – SEST), and Petros should implement this plan within 60 calendar days following its approval, including the beginning of the additional contributions from participants and sponsors.
Pursuant to relevant regulation, the sponsors and participants will cover this deficit based on their respective proportions of regular contributions. Accordingly, the Parent Company will cover approximately R$ 12.8 billion of this deficit and BR Distribuidora will cover R$ 0.9 billion.
The contributions will occur during 18 years through decreasing values, of which the estimated amount for the first year is R$ 1.4 billion for the Parent Company and R$ 0.89 billion for BR Distribuidora.

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras
Notes to the financial statements (Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated) |
The Company’s profit sharing benefits comply with Brazilian legal requirements and those of the Brazilian Department of Coordination and Governance of State‐Owned Enterprises (DEST), of the Ministry of Planning, Budget and Management, and of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, and are computed based on the consolidated net income attributable to the shareholders of Petrobras.
The amount of profit sharing benefits is computed based on the results of six corporate indicators, for which annual goals are defined by the Executive Board and approved by the Board of Directors pursuant to the review of the Business and Management Plan (BMP).
The results of the six individual goals are factored into a consolidated result that will determine the percentage of the profit to be distributed as a profit sharing benefit to employees. However, in the event the Company records a net loss for the period and all the annual goals are achieved, the profit sharing benefit will be half a month’s salary for each employee added by half of the lowest amount of profit sharing paid in the prior year, as established in the Company’s collective bargaining agreement.
Profit sharing benefits for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017
Based on the estimates, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized as other income and expenses:

Cumulative translation adjustment debit of R$ 2,810, resulting from the translation of financial statements of subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the Brazilian Real. In addition, the sale of Petrobras Chile and Guarani (see note 9.1) triggered the recycling of cumulative translation adjustments previously recognized in shareholders’ equity to the statement of income within other income and expenses, totaling R$ 116. |
|
• |
Foreign exchange rate variation gains of R$ 8,491, after taxes and amounts reclassified to the statement of income, recognized in the Company's shareholders' equity, as a result of its cash flow hedge accounting policy.

In preparing its financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2017, the Company considered all available information concerning legal proceedings in which the Company is a defendant, in order to estimate the amounts of obligations and probability that outflows of resources will be required.
Excluding foreign exchange translation effects (see note 2), the main changes in the provision for legal proceedings in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 were primarily attributable to unfavorable court rulings that changed probabilities of outflows of resources relating to certain claims to probable, as well as indexation charges over the balance of provision, as presented below:
Labor claims
Provision for labor claims increased R$ 781, mainly due to the assessment of court rulings on several labor disputes occurred during this period and to indexation charges over the balance of provision.
Tax claims
Provision for tax claims decreased R$ 931, primarily reflecting the reversion of a provision previously recognized in 2016 with respect to disallowed tax credits applied for income taxes and other Brazilian Federal taxes computation, following the decision to benefit from the Special Tax Settlement Program (Programa Especial de Regularização Tributária - PRT), as shown in note 20.2.1.
63
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras
Notes to the financial statements (Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated) |
In addition, there were some provisions recognized and reversed during this period due to unfavorable court rulings and the decision to settle them along with the reliefs provided by the PRT, relating to:
|
• |
Disallowed tax credits applied for income taxes and other Brazilian Federal taxes computation, as set out in note 20.2.1; and |
|
• |
Deduction of amounts paid to Petros Plan from the taxable profit computation, use of tax benefits over the import of certain equipment and the use of tax loss carry forwards as a deduction from the taxable income computation, as shown in note 20.2.2. |
Civil claims
Provision for civil claims increased R$ 1,158 after assessing court rulings occurred in this period denying the Company’s appeals, with respect to production taxes collection over gas production in Urucu field, fines imposed by ANP relating to measurement systems and other civil claims, as well as indexation charges over the balance of provisions.
In addition, there were some provisions recognized and reversed during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, due to settlements reached and unfavorable rulings payed and joined to PRD, in respect of:
|
• |
Agreements to settle Opt-out Claims filed before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, as set out in note 29.4.1; |
|
• |
Disputes with ANP relating to production taxes over oil and gas production, as set out in note 20.2.3; and |
|
• |
Arbitration award against the Company determined by the International Chamber of Commerce on the merits of P-62 construction. |

Current status: In October 2017, the Regional Federal Court (Tribunal Regional Federal - TRF) of the State of Rio de Janeiro ruled that the Company should have paid withholding income tax (Imposto de Renda Retido na Fonte- IRRF) on remittances for payments of vessel charters, occurred from 1999 to 2002, which updated debt is R$ 8.8 billion. The legal argument involves the legality of the normative rule issued by the Federal Revenue of Brazil, which ensured no taxation over those remittances. The Company will continue to argue its case and to consider the likelihood of loss as possible, as well as for the other pending actions related to vessel charters of this item, whose legal basis are different. These other claims involve lawsuits in different administrative and judicial stages. |

|
|
Current status: The Superior Labor Court ("Tribunal Superior do Trabalho - TST") unified a favorable understanding to the Company's opinion. There are TST decisions favorable to the plaintiffs on individual and collective proceedings judged before the mentioned unification. With respect to the claim filed by Sindipetro Norte Fluminense (NF): (i) the Company has filed an appeal in the TST to overturn a decision and is awaiting judgment; and (ii) The Regional Labor Court ("Tribunal Regional do Trabalho - TRT") from the First Region issued an opinion favorable to the Company in its review appeal. The court stated that the enforceable title changed the factors used on the calculation of extra hour, increasing it and resulting in a considerable decrease in the estimated amount. Regarding the lawsuit filed by SINDIPETRO-MG, Petrobras filed a lawsuit called "Ação Rescisória" (a kind of "motion to set aside the judgment"). In the trial before the TST, on September 26, 2017, the Company's claim was successful. Therefore, the court ruled that Petrobras did not have to pay the usual extra hours and its legal effects in relation to the compensatory breaks of workers submitted to the alternating shifts regime. |

Plaintiff: Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis - ANP |
|
|
1) Proceedings challenging an ANP order requiring Petrobras to unite Lula and Cernambi fields on the BM-S-11 joint venture; to unite Baúna and Piracicaba fields; to unite Tartaruga Verde and Mestiça fields; and to unite Baleia Anã, Baleia Azul, Baleia Franca, Cachalote, Caxaréu, Jubarte and Pirambu, in the Parque das Baleias complex, which would cause changes in the payment of special participation charges. |
|
|
Current status: This list involves claims that are disputed in court and in arbitration proceedings. The Company has made judicial deposits on the Lula/Cernanbi and the Baúna/Piracaba fields proceedings for the alleged differences resulting from the special participation. However, with the reversal of the favorable injunction, currently the payment of these alleged differences have been made directly to ANP, until a final judicial decision is handed down. On the Parque das Baleias complex proceeding, the Superior Court of Justice ("Superior Tribunal de Justiça - STJ") ruled that is the Chamber of Arbitration which has the responsibility to determine if the claim should be arbitrated or not. On the Tartaruga Verde and Mestiça fields unitization proceeding, the Regional Federal Court of the Second Region has the opinion that the Chamber of Arbitration has jurisdiction, and authorized this arbitration. Therefore, the arbitrations on the Lula/Cernambi and Baúna/Piracicaba fields unitization are currently stayed, while the Judiciary states there is no obstacle to continue with the Parque das Baleias complex and the Tartaruga Verde and Mestiça fields arbitrations. The change on the amount relates to indexation charge and the inclusion of production taxes on the Parque das Baleias complex, which collection is stayed due to judicial and arbitral decision. |

2) Administrative proceedings challenging an ANP order requiring Petrobras to pay additional special participation fees and royalties (production taxes) with respect to several fields, including a misunderstanding about the oil prices used on the calculation of production taxes on Lula field. It also includes contention about fines imposed by ANP due to alleged failure to comply with the minimum exploration activities program, as well as alleged irregularities relating to compliance with oil and gas industry regulation. |
|
|
Current status: In August 2017, the Company had an adverse judicial sentence relating with a fine issued by ANP. Therefore, in the third quarter of 2017 several proceedings have the probability of loss considered as probable. The other claims involve lawsuits in different administrative and judicial stages. |

The lawsuit filed by EIG and affiliates alleges that the Company committed fraud by inducing plaintiffs to invest in Sete Brasil Participações S. A. ("Sete") through communications that failed to disclose the alleged corruption scheme. The District of Columbia Court partially granted the Company's motion to dismiss. Petrobras entered another motion to dismiss the remaining part of the lawsuit and the proceeding is currently stayed in the first instance due to this appeal. On October 30, 2017, the Company presented a response to EIG's counter-arguments on this case. |

Class action and related proceedings in the USA |
Between December 8, 2014 and January 7, 2015, five putative securities class action complaints were filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY). These actions were consolidated on February 17, 2015 (the “Consolidated Securities Class Action”). The Court appointed a lead plaintiff, Universities Superannuation Scheme Limited (“USS”), on March 4, 2015. Together with two other plaintiffs—Union Asset Management Holding AG (“Union”) and Employees' Retirement System of the State of Hawaii (“Hawaii”)—USS filed a consolidated amended complaint (“CAC”) on March 27, 2015 that purported to be on behalf of investors who:
a) |
purchased or otherwise acquired Petrobras securities traded on the NYSE or pursuant to other transactions in the U.S. during the period January 22, 2010 and March 19, 2015, inclusive (the “Class Period”), and were damaged thereby; |
b) |
purchased or otherwise acquired during the Class Period certain notes issued in 2012 pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC filed in 2009, or certain notes issued in 2013 or 2014 pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC in 2012 , and were damaged thereby; and |
c) |
purchased or otherwise acquired Petrobras securities on the Brazilian stock exchange during the Class Period, who also purchased or otherwise acquired Petrobras securities traded on the NYSE or pursuant to other transactions in the U.S. during the same period. |
The CAC alleged, among other things, that in the Company’s press releases, filings with the SEC and other communications, the Company made materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the value of its assets, the amounts of the Company’s expenses and net income, the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, and the Company’s anti-corruption policies, due to the alleged corruption purportedly committed in connection with certain contracts, which allegedly artificially inflated the market value of the Company’s securities.
On April 17, 2015, Petrobras, Petrobras Global Finance - PGF and the underwriters of notes issued by PGF (the “Underwriter Defendants”) filed a motion to dismiss the CAC.
On July 9, 2015, the judge presiding over the Consolidated Securities Class Action ruled on the motion to dismiss, partially granting the Company’s motion. Among other decisions, the judge dismissed claims relating to certain debt securities issued in 2012 under the Securities Act of 1933 as time barred by the Securities Act’s statute of repose, and ruled claims relating to securities purchased on the Brazilian stock exchange must be arbitrated, as established in the Company’s bylaws. The judge rejected other arguments presented in the motion to dismiss the CAC and, as a result, the Consolidated Securities Class Action continued with respect to those other claims.
As allowed by the judge, a second consolidated amended complaint was filed on July 16, 2015, a third consolidated amended complaint (“TAC”) was filed on September 1, 2015, among other things extending the Class Period through July 28, 2015 and adding Petrobras America, Inc. as a defendant, and a fourth consolidated amended complaint (“FAC”) was filed on November 30, 2015. The TAC and FAC, brought by lead plaintiff, Union, Hawaii, and an additional plaintiff, North Carolina Department of State Treasurer (“North Carolina”) (collectively, “class plaintiffs”)—brings those claims alleged in the CAC that were not dismissed or were allowed to be re-pleaded under the judge’s July 9, 2015 ruling.
Petrobras, PGF, Petrobras America, Inc. and the Underwriter Defendants filed motions to dismiss the TAC on October 1, 2015 and the FAC on December 7, 2015.

On December 20, 2015, the judge ruled on the motions to dismiss, partially granting the motions. Among other decisions, the judge dismissed the claims of USS and Union based on their purchases of notes issued by PGF for failure to plead that they purchased the notes in U.S. transactions. The judge also dismissed claims under the Securities Act of 1933 for certain purchases for which class plaintiffs had failed to plead the element of reliance. The judge rejected other arguments presented in the motion to dismiss the FAC and, as a result, the Consolidated Securities Class Action continued with respect to the remaining claims.
On October 15, 2015, class plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification in the Consolidated Securities Class Action, and on November 6, 2015, Petrobras, PGF, Petrobras America, Inc. and the Underwriter Defendants opposed the motion.
On February 2, 2016, the judge granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification, certifying a Securities Act Class represented by Hawaii and North Carolina and an Exchange Act Class represented by USS.
On June 15, 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (“Second Circuit”) granted Petrobras’ motion requesting interlocutory appellate review of the class certification decision. Petrobras and the other defendants moved in district court for a stay of all district court proceedings, which the district judge denied on June 24, 2016 and, on June 27, 2016, the parties filed motions for summary judgment. Defendants then moved in the Second Circuit for a stay of all district court proceedings. On August 2, 2016, the Second Circuit granted Defendants’ motion to stay all district court proceedings. Oral argument regarding the appeal was held before the Second Circuit on November 2, 2016.
On July 7, 2017, the Second Circuit vacated, in part, the class certification decision and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings.
The Second Circuit partially granted the Company’s appeal, reversing some aspects of the district court’s ruling and affirming others. Among other issues, the Second Circuit ruled that the district judge failed to consider whether the question of whether the transactions occurred in the United States could be determined through a common set of evidence, and whether, if not, common issues would predominate over individual ones. The effect of the Second Circuit’s decision is to vacate the classes certified by the district court pending additional proceedings in the district court on remand.
On July 21, 2017, Petrobras filed a request for rehearing or en banc review with the Second Circuit regarding portions of the Second Circuit’s decision affirming the district court’s order, which was denied on August 24, 2017.
On November 1, 2017, Petrobras and certain other defendants filed a petition for writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court appealing the Second Circuit’s decision. On November 3, 2017, the Second Circuit granted the motion to stay the mandate filed by Petrobras on August 30, 2017, and as a result the proceeding will remain stayed until a final decision is issued by the Supreme Court.
In addition to the Consolidated Securities Class Action, to date, 33 lawsuits have been filed by individual investors before the same judge in the SDNY (six of which have been stayed), and one has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (collectively, the “Opt-out Claims”), consisting of allegations similar to those in the Consolidated Securities Class Action. On August 21, 2015, Petrobras, PGF and underwriters of notes issued by PGF filed a motion to dismiss certain of the Opt-out Claims in the SDNY, and on October 15, 2015, the judge ruled on the motion to dismiss, partially granting the motion. Among other decisions, the judge dismissed several Exchange Act, Securities Act and state law claims as barred by the relevant statutes of repose. The judge denied other portions of the motion to dismiss and, as a result, these actions continued with respect to other claims brought by these plaintiffs.
On October 31, 2015, the SDNY judge ordered that the Opt-out Claims before him in the SDNY and the Consolidated Securities Class Action be tried together in a single trial not to exceed a total of eight weeks. On November 5, 2015, the judge scheduled the trial to begin on September 19, 2016; however, the trial is now stayed due to the stay imposed by the Second Circuit decision on August 2, 2016.
On November 18, 2015, the judge ordered that any Opt-out Claim filed before him in the SDNY after December 31, 2015 will be stayed in all respects until after the completion of the trial.
On October 21, 2016, Petrobras’ board of directors approved agreements to settle Opt-out Claims in four cases: Dodge & Cox Int’l Stock Fund, et al. v. Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras, et al., No. 15-cv-10111 (JSR), Janus Overseas Fund, et al. v.

The class action and seven cases with Opt-out Claims remain pending against Petrobras, but are stayed until the Supreme Court’s disposition of the petition for a writ of certiorari. The actions continue to assert the claims that have not been dismissed by the district judge, although the classes certified by the district judge have been vacated pending additional proceedings in the district court on remand. In addition to these cases, there are six individual actions pending, which are stayed since they have been filed after December 31, 2015, pursuant to the district court’s decision on November 18, 2015.
Based on the settlements reached, and the status of certain other Opt-out Claims, the Company charged to the statement of income the amounts presented below:
|
US$ million |
Amounts recognized up to December 31, 2016(*) |
372 |
Amounts recognized in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 |
76 |
Total amount up to September 30, 2017 |
448 |
(*) US$ 364 million refers to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. |
|
|
The terms of the settlements are confidential and Petrobras denies all allegations of wrongdoing and continues to defend itself vigorously in all pending actions. The settlements, the terms of which are confidential, are aimed at eliminating the uncertainties, burdens and expense of ongoing litigation. The Consolidated Securities Class Action and certain Opt-out Claims involve highly complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties and depend on a number of factors such as the novelty of the legal theories, the information produced in discovery, the timing of court decisions, rulings by the court on key issues, analysis by retained experts, and the possibility that the parties negotiate in good faith toward a resolution.
In addition, the claims asserted are broad, span a multi-year period and involve a wide range of activities, and the contentions of the plaintiffs in the Consolidated Securities Class Action and certain Opt-out Claims concerning the amount of alleged damages are varied and, at this stage, their impact on the course of the litigation is complex and uncertain. The uncertainties inherent in all such matters affect the amount and timing of the ultimate resolution of these actions. As a result, the Company is unable to make a reliable estimate of eventual loss arising from the Consolidated Securities Class Action and certain Opt-out Claims.
Depending on the outcome of the litigation, we may be required to pay substantial amounts, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, its consolidated results of operations or its consolidated cash flows for an individual reporting period.
The Company has engaged a U.S. firm as legal counsel and intends to defend these actions vigorously.

Class action in the Netherlands |
On January 23, 2017, the Stichting Petrobras Compensation Foundation (“Foundation”) filed a class action before the district court in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, against Petrobras and its subsidiaries Petrobras International Braspetro B.V. (PIBBV) and Petrobras Global Finance B.V. (PGF); joint venture Petrobras Oil & Gas B.V. (PO&G), and some former managers of Petrobras.

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras
Notes to the financial statements (Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated) |
This Foundation allegedly represents an unidentified group of investors and demands judicial remedies for alleged damages caused to investors who purchased securities issued by Petrobras and PGF outside the United States, before July 28, 2015, due to alleged illegal acts. The Foundation also alleges financial losses are connected to the facts uncovered by the Lava-Jato investigation and to purported false and misleading financial information released by the Company.
Petrobras, PGF, PIBBV and PO&G filed their first response to the claim on May 3, 2017 (first docket date), presenting the law firms that will defend these companies and requesting a hearing to discuss some aspects of the case.
On August 23, 2017, a hearing was held at the District Court in Rotterdam to establish the timeframe for proceedings. The next steps are: (i) initial arguments by defendants in November 2017, (ii) the Foundation’s reply in March 2018, and (iii) the oral hearing on June 28, 2018. The Court ruling is expected to be presented in September 2018.
This class action involves complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties and depend on a number of factors such as the legitimacy of the Foundation as the plaintiffs' attorney, the applicable rules on this complaint, the information produced in discovery, analysis by experts, the timing of court decisions and rulings by the court on key issues. Currently, it is not possible to determine if the Company will be responsible for the payment of compensations as a result of this action as this assessment depends on the outcome of these complex issues. Moreover, it is uncertain which investors are able to file complaints related to this matter against the Company.
In addition, the claims asserted are broad, span a multi-year period and involve a wide range of activities, and, at the current stage, the impacts of such claims are highly uncertain. The uncertainties inherent in all such matters affect the amount and timing of the ultimate resolution of these actions. As a result, the Company is unable to make a reliable estimate of eventual loss arising from this action. The Company is victim of the corruption scheme uncovered by the Lava-Jato investigation and aims to present and prove this condition before the Netherlands Authorities.
The uncertainties inherent in all such matters do not enable the Company to identify possible risks related to this action. Compensation for the alleged damages will only be determined by court rulings on complaints to be filed by individual investors, unless agreements to settle Opt-out Claims occur. The Foundation is not able to demand compensation for damages.
Petrobras and its subsidiaries deny the allegations presented by the Foundation and intend to defend themselves vigorously.
The Company has granted collateral to the Brazilian Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis -ANP) in connection with the performance of the Minimum Exploration Programs established in the concession agreements for petroleum exploration areas in the total amount of R$ 7,996, of which R$ 3,056 were still in force as of September 30, 2017, net of commitments undertaken. The collateral comprises crude oil from previously identified producing fields, pledged as collateral, amounting to R$ 2,651 and bank guarantees of R$ 405.
The Company is exposed to a variety of risks arising from its operations, including price risk (related to crude oil and oil products prices), foreign exchange rates risk, interest rates risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Corporate risk management is part of the Company’s commitment to act ethically and comply with the legal and regulatory requirements of the countries where it operates. To manage market and financial risks the Company prefers structuring measures through adequate capital and leverage management. The Company takes account of risks in its business decisions and manages any such risk in an integrated manner in order to enjoy the benefits of diversification.
A summary of the positions of the derivative financial instruments held by the Company and recognized in other current assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2017, as well as the amounts recognized in the statement of income and other comprehensive income and the guarantees given is set out as follows:

32.1. |
Risk management of price risk (related to crude oil and oil products prices) |
Petrobras does not regularly use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to commodity price cycles related to products purchased and sold to fulfill operational needs. Derivatives are used as hedging instruments to manage the price risk of certain short-term commercial transactions.
32.2. |
Foreign exchange risk management |
The Company’s Risk Management Policy provides for, as an assumption, an integrated risk management extensive to the whole corporation, pursuing the benefit from the diversification of its businesses.
71
Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras
Notes to the financial statements (Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated) |
By managing its foreign exchange risk, the Company takes into account the group of cash flows derived from its operations. This concept is especially applicable to the risk relating to the exposure of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar, in which future cash flows in U.S. dollar, as well as cash flows in Brazilian Real affected by the fluctuation between both currencies, such as cash flows derived from diesel and gasoline sales in the domestic market, are assessed in an integrated manner.
Accordingly, the financial risk management mainly involves structured actions by using natural hedges derived from the business of the Company.
The foreign exchange risk management strategy may involve the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain liabilities, minimizing foreign exchange rate risk exposure, especially when the Company is exposed to a foreign currency in which no cash inflows are expected, for example, Pound Sterling.
In the short-term, the foreign exchange risk is managed by applying resources in cash or cash equivalent denominated in Brazilian Real, U.S. Dollar or in another currency.
a) |
Cash Flow Hedge involving the Company’s future exports |
Considering the natural hedge aforementioned, the Company designates hedging relationships to account for the effects of the existing hedge between a portion of its long-term debt obligations (denominated in U.S. dollars) and its highly probable U.S. dollar denominated future export revenues, so that gains or losses associated with the hedged transaction (the highly probable future exports) and the hedging instrument (debt obligations) are recognized in the statement of income in the same periods.
A portion of principal amounts and accrued interest (non-derivative financial instruments), as well as foreign exchange rate forward contracts (derivative financial instruments) have been designated as hedging instruments. Derivative financial instruments expired during the year were replaced by principal and interest amounts in the hedging relationships for which they had been designated.
Individual hedging relationships were designated in a one-to-one proportion, meaning that a portion of the highly probable future exports for each month will be the hedged transaction of an individual hedging relationship, hedged by a portion of the company’s long-term debt. Only a portion of the Company’s forecast exports are considered highly probable.
Whenever a portion of future exports for a certain period for which a hedging relationship has been designated is no longer highly probable, the Company revokes the designation and the cumulative foreign exchange gains or losses that have been recognized in other comprehensive income remain separately in equity until the forecast exports occur.
If a portion of future exports for which a hedging relationship has been designated is no longer expected to occur, any related cumulative foreign exchange gains or losses that have been recognized in other comprehensive income from the date the hedging relationship was designated to the date the Company revoked the designation is immediately recycled from equity to the statement of income.
The carrying amounts, the fair value as of September 30, 2017, 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$ 3.1680 exchange rate are set out below:

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 most recent update of the 2017-2021 Business and Management Plan (Plano de Negócios e Gestão – PNG), a R$ 3 reclassification adjustment from equity to the statement of income would occur.

Cross currency swap – Pounds Sterling x Dollar |
In the first quarter of 2017, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Petrobras Global Trading B.V. (PGT), entered into a £ 700 million notional amount cross currency swap maturing in 2026, in order to hedge its Pounds/U.S. Dollar exposure arising from the Company’s debt denominated in Pounds.

32.3. |
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 encountered by certain subsidiaries of Petrobras.
32.4. |
Credit risk |
Credit risk management in Petrobras aims at minimizing risk of not collecting receivables, financial deposits or collateral from third parties or financial institutions through efficient credit analysis, granting and management based on quantitative and qualitative parameters that are appropriate for each market segment in which the Company operates.
The commercial credit portfolio is broad and diversified and comprises clients from the domestic and foreign markets. In order to mitigate credits losses, the credit commissions assess creditworthiness and define credit limits, which are regularly monitored, based on the customer’s main activity, commercial relationship and credit history with Petrobras, solvency, financial situation and external market assessment of the customer. For information on allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables, see note 7.
Credit granted to financial institutions is related to collaterals received, cash surplus invested and derivative financial instruments. It is spread among “investment grade” international banks rated by international rating agencies and Brazilian banks.
32.5. |
Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk is represented by the possibility of a shortage of cash or other financial assets in order to settle the Company’s obligations on the agreed dates and is managed by the Company based on policies such as: centralization of cash management, optimization of the level of cash and cash equivalents held and reduction of working capital; maintenance of an adequate cash balance to ensure that cash needed for investments and short-term obligations is met even in adverse market conditions; increase in the average debt maturity, increase in funding sources from domestic and international markets, and developing a strong presence in the capital markets and also searching for new funding sources (such as new markets and financial products), as well as funds under the venture and divestment program.
