  • Considers only non-recurring items that impact EBITDA
  • Net Income excluding non-recurring items and without the Exchange rate effect of Real vs Dollar

In this third quarter of 2024, we achieved consistent financial results amid a context of declining Brent prices, which we were able to offset with higher sales volumes of oil products. We maintained strong cash generation of US$ 11.3 billion, up 24% from the previous quarter, sustained by the quality and performance of our assets. In 3Q24, we had no significant impact from non-recurring items, unlike in 2Q24. As a result, we recorded a net profit of US$ 5.9 billion and recurring EBITDA of US$ 11.6 billion.

We are also pleased to announce that we made investments of US$ 4.5 billion in this third quarter, around 30% more than last quarter. In the first nine months of the year, Petrobras investments amounted to US$ 10.9 billion. This demonstrates our commitment to delivering our projects and executing our Strategic Plan with diligence.

Evidence of this commitment is reflected in the early start-up of Maria Quitéria FPSO. Exactly 15 days later, FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias started operating on October 30. Also in October, FPSO Almirante Tamandaré arrived in Brazil. This effort to execute and even anticipating deadlines deadlines will translate into accelerated revenue generation as these assets reach full capacity and in the increased supply of energy to the country. We are committed to Petrobras' growth and to creating value for shareholders and Brazilian society." Fernando Melgarejo, Chief Financial and

Investor Relations Officer

Consolidated Results

Consolidated results

In 3Q24, we posted solid results, despite a challenging external scenario. Recurring Adjusted EBITDA reached US$ 11.6 billion and recurring net income was US$ 5.9 billion.

Recurring Adjusted EBITDA for 3Q24 was 3% lower than the previous quarter, reflecting a 6% decline in Brent prices and a lower margin on oil products, especially diesel, due to a 16% international crack spread decrease. These impacts were partially offset by a higher volume of oil produced in the oil products mix and the increase in sales.

In addition, there was an increase in domestic oil sales, due to increased deliveries to Acelen, and higher revenues from electricity.

Operating expenses totaled US$ 3.6 billion, a 28% decrease compared to 2Q24, mainly reflecting the absence of special items recorded in the previous quarter, especially costs related to the tax transaction.

The financial result for 3Q24 was a negative US$ 281 million, an improvement from the negative $6.9 billion recorded in 2Q24. This result was mainly impacted by the appreciation of BRL against dollar. BRL appreciated by 2% in 3Q24 (final exchange rate of R$5.45/US$), compared to a 11.2% depreciation in 2Q24 (final exchange rate of R$5.56/US$). Additionally, financial expenses were lower due to the impact of tax transaction adherence recorded in the previous quarter.

Net income reached US$ 5.9 billion due to improved financial results and lower operating expenses.

In 3Q24, there was no significant impact from non-recurring items. Disregarding these items, net profit and Recurring EBITDA would have remained at the same level.

In 3Q24, Capex totaled US$ 4.5 billion, 31.3% higher than in 2Q24. In the first nine months of the year, Capex totaled US$ 10.9 billion, an increase of 19.5% compared to 9M23.

In the Exploration and Production segment, Capex amounted to US$ 3.8 billion, 36.4% higher than in 2Q24, and were mainly concentrated on: (i) developing production in the Santos Basin pre-salt area (US$ 2.2 billion); (ii) developing production in the Campos Basin pre/ post-salt areas (US$ 0.8 billion); (iii) exploratory investments (US$ 0.2 billion). The increase compared to the previous quarter does not change the 2024 investment projection revised in 2Q24 and is largely due to the concentration of planned milestone payments, including those related to the arrival of equipment for the new production units in Búzios, and the realization of Capex related to the beginning of construction work on units P-84, in Atapu, and P-85, in Sépia.

In the Refining, Transportation and Marketing segment, Capex totaled US$ 0.5 billion, in line with 2Q24, with emphasis on spending on scheduled refinery stoppages and progress of REPLAN's medium hydrotreating (HDT) project

In the Gas and Low-Carbon Energy segment, Capex totaled US$ 0.1 billion, in line with 2Q24, with investments in the Rota-3 natural gas processing unit standing out.

In addition, there was a payment of US$ 21 million relating to signature bonuses for 26 blocks (Shell partnership) in the Pelotas Basin.

The following table presents the main information about the new oil and gas production systems, already contracted.
