February 22, 2022, Mexico City, Mexico
Vista Oil & Gas, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Vista" or the "Company") (NYSE: VIST in the New York Stock Exchange; BMV: VISTA in the Mexican Stock Exchange), reported today financial and operational results for full year 2021 and Q4 2021.
Full year 2021 highlights:
| • | During 2021, the Company completed and tied-in five 4-well pads (#6 to #10) in Bajada del Palo Oeste. This added 20 new wells on production, in line with guidance, increasing the total number of wells on production in the block to 40 at year-end. Total shale production in 2021 was 23,353 boe/d, out of which 23,225 boe/d corresponds to the shale production of Bajada del Palo Oeste, which reached 28.1 Mboe/d on December 31, 2021. |
| • | Total proved reserves as of December 31, 2021, totaled 181.6 MMboe, a 42% increase compared to 128.1 MMboe as of December 31, 2020. The increase was mainly driven by strong performance in Bajada del Palo Oeste. The implied reserves replacement ratio was 477%, while the oil reserves replacement ratio was 519%. |
| • | During 2021, total production was 38,845 boe/d, composed of 30,359 bbl/d of oil, representing 78% of the total production, 1.27 MMm3/d of natural gas, representing 21% of the total production, and 475 boe/d of NGL, representing the remaining 1%. Total production in 2021 increased 46% vis-à-vis 2020. |
| • | During 2021, the Company reduced scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 14%, implying a reduction in intensity of 39% to 24.1 kgCO2/boe. Vista also established its ambition to become net zero in 2026. |
| • | During 2021, the average realized crude oil price was 54.9 $/bbl, a 48% increase compared to 2020. The average realized natural gas price for 2021 was 3.2 $/MMbtu, 56% higher than 2020. |
| • | Total revenues during 2021 were 652.2 $MM, a 138% increase compared to 273.9 $MM during 2020. The increase was mainly driven by higher realized prices and higher production. In the same period, we exported 3,054.4 Mbbl of oil, representing 182.2 $MM. |
| • | Lifting cost (1) in 2021 was 7.4 $/boe, representing a 18% decrease compared to the average lifting cost per boe in 2020, as the incremental production from Bajada del Palo Oeste, with low marginal cost, continues to dilute the fixed cost base of the Company. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 was 380.1 $MM, resulting in an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 58%. Such figure represents a 298% increase compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of 95.6 $MM during 2020, driven by higher revenues and lower lifting cost per boe. |

| • | Cash at the end of 2021 was 315.0 $MM. Gross debt totaled 611.0 $MM as of year-end, resulting in a net debt of 296.0 $MM and a net leverage ratio of 0.8x Adj. EBTIDA. |
| • | Adjusted Net Income during 2021 totaled 78.5 $MM, compared to a loss of 115.1 $MM during 2020, mainly driven by a higher Adjusted EBITDA and partially offset by higher income tax expense, and higher depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EPS was 0.89 $/share in 2021, compared to (1.32) $/share in 2020. |
Q4 2021 highlights:
| • | Q4 2021 total production was 41,064 boe/d, a 34% increase compared to Q4 2020, mainly driven by production growth in Bajada del Palo Oeste. Oil production in Q4 2021 increased 41% y-o-y to 32,436 bbl/d. |
| • | In Q4 2021, shale wells contributed production of 25,699 boe/d, of which 98% corresponds to shale oil wells in Bajada del Palo Oeste, where the Company tied-in 20 new wells in 5 pads during the year. |

The certified P1 oil and gas reserves in Bajada del Palo Oeste were 155.0 MMboe as of December 31, 2021, a 57% increase with respect to year-end 2020. The increase was mainly driven by new well activity and strong results in well productivity, as the Company tied-in 20 new wells during 2021. This led to the addition of 52 P1 shale oil well locations in Bajada del Palo Oeste, resulting in a total of 134 booked P1 locations. Proved additions in the block totaled 46.8 MMboe. The Company has identified up to 550 new well locations in the block and has drilled and tied-in 40 shale oil wells since the start of the project in 2018.
Certified P1 reserves in block CS-01, located in Tabasco, Mexico, were 4.5 MMboe as of December 31, 2021, up from 0.2 MMboe at year-end 2020. The P1 reserves additions were supported by an integrated study that led to the approval of the Field Development Plan by the Comisión Nacional de Hidrocarburos on April 8, 2021. Such plan contains 23 P1 locations. The additions were also driven by the increase in the working interest the Company holds in the block, from 50% to 100%, which took place on August 16, 2021.
P1 reserves valuation
In accordance with the regulations set forth by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), future net cash flows were calculated by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date reported, less the estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves. Future net cash flows were then discounted using a factor of 10% per annum.

As a result, investors should read this presentation in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and other financial information available on the Company's website. All the amounts contained herein are unaudited.
Rounding amounts and percentages: Certain amounts and percentages included in this presentation have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this presentation have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, certain percentage amounts in this presentation may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in the financial statements. In addition, certain other amounts that appear in this presentation may not sum due to rounding.
This presentation contains certain metrics that do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Company's performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Company and future performance may not compare to the performance in previous periods.
No reliance may be placed for any purpose whatsoever on the information contained in this document or on its completeness.

No representation or warranty, express or implied, is given or will be given by or on behalf of the Company, or any of its affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Act, "Affiliates"), members, directors, officers or employees or any other person (the "Related Parties") as to the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information or opinions contained in this presentation or any other material discussed verbally, and any reliance you place on them will be at your sole risk.

This presentation includes "forward-looking statements" concerning the future. The words such as "believes," "thinks," "forecasts," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "should," "seeks," "estimates," "future" or similar expressions are included with the intention of identifying statements about the future. For the avoidance of doubt, any projection, guidance or similar estimation about the future or future results, performance or achievements is a forward-looking statement.

There will be differences between actual and projected results, and actual results may be materially greater or materially less than those contained in the projections. Projections related to production results as well as costs estimations are based on information as of the date of this presentation and reflect numerous assumptions including assumptions with respect to type curves for new well designs and certain frac spacing expectations, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control and remain subject to several risks and uncertainties. The inclusion of the projected financial information in this document should not be regarded as an indication that we or our management considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events. As such, no representation can be made as to the attainability of projections, guidances or other estimations of future results, performance or achievements. We have not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the projections to anyone. Neither our management nor any of our representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding our future performance compared to the information contained in the projections, and none of them intends to or undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise the projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projections are shown to be in error. We may or may not refer back to these projections in our future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act. These expectations and projections are subject to significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any expected or projected results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Many important factors could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements, including, among other things: uncertainties relating to future government concessions and exploration permits; adverse outcomes in litigation that may arise in the future; general political, economic, social, demographic and business conditions in Argentina, Mexico and in other countries in which we operate; changes in law, rules, regulations and interpretations and enforcements thereto applicable to the Argentine and Mexican energy sectors, including changes to the regulatory environment in which we operate and changes to programs established to promote investments in the energy industry; any unexpected increases in financing costs or an inability to obtain financing and/or additional capital pursuant to attractive terms; any changes in the capital markets in general that may affect the policies or attitude in Argentina and/or Mexico, and/or Argentine and Mexican companies with respect to financings extended to or investments made in Argentina and Mexico or Argentine and Mexican companies; fines or other penalties and claims by the authorities and/or customers; any future restrictions on the ability to exchange Mexican or Argentine Pesos into foreign currencies or to transfer funds abroad; the revocation or amendment of our respective concession agreements by the granting authority; our ability to implement our capital expenditures plans or business strategy, including our ability to obtain financing when necessary and on reasonable terms; government intervention, including measures that result in changes to the Argentine and Mexican, labor markets, exchange markets or tax systems; continued and/or higher rates of inflation and fluctuations in exchange rates, including the devaluation of the Mexican Peso or Argentine Peso; any force majeure events, or fluctuations or reductions in the value of Argentine public debt; changes to the demand for energy; uncertainties relating to the effects of the Covid-19 outbreak; environmental, health and safety regulations and industry standards that are becoming more stringent; energy markets, including the timing and extent of changes and volatility in commodity prices, and the impact of any protracted or material reduction in oil prices from historical averages; changes in the regulation of the energy and oil and gas sector in Argentina and Mexico, and throughout Latin America; our relationship with our employees and our ability to retain key members of our senior management and key technical employees; the ability of our directors and officers to identify an adequate number of potential acquisition opportunities; our expectations with respect to the performance of our recently acquired businesses; our expectations for future production, costs and crude oil prices used in our projections; increased market competition in the energy sectors in Argentina and Mexico; and potential changes in regulation and free trade agreements as a result of U.S., Mexican or other Latin American political conditions.
