NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

Basis of preparation

These interim financial statements present the significant changes in the period, avoiding repetition of certain notes to the financial statements previously reported, and present the consolidated information, considering Management’s understanding that it provides a comprehensive view of the Company’s financial position and operational performance, complemented by certain information of the Parent Company. Hence, this interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which include the full set of notes.

The consolidated and individual interim financial information of the company was prepared and is presented in accordance with the Technical Pronouncement - CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Statement, issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) and approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), and related to IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). All relevant information pertaining to the financial statements, and only these, are being evidenced, and correspond to those used in the management of the company's Management.

These interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors in a meeting held on May 13, 2024.

1.1.

New standards and interpretations

On January 1, 2024, new standards issued by the IASB came into force and were adopted by the Company, with corresponding technical pronouncements issued by the CPC and approved by the CVM, as disclosed in explanatory note 6 of the financial statements as of December 31, 2023.

In relation to the regulations in force as from January 1, 2024, according to the assessments carried out, there were no material impacts on the initial application in this consolidated and individual interim financial information, except for the review of Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 (R1) - Statement of Added Value (DVA).

This review generated a restatement of the DVA between components of the wealth created (revenue, inputs acquired from third parties and depreciation, depletion and amortization) without affecting the net added value produced by the Company, as follows:

	Consolidated			Parent Company
	Disclosed on 03.31.2023	CPC 09 (R1) Effect	Reclassified on 03.31.2023	Disclosed on 03.31.2023	CPC 09 (R1) Effect	Reclassified on 03.31.2023
Revenues	176,116	(2,232)	173,884	164,490	(2,276)	162,214
Inputs acquired from third parties	(64,509)	(353)	(64,862)	(60,199)	(309)	(60,508)
Gross added value	111,607	(2,585)	109,022	104,291	(2,585)	101,706
Depreciation, depletion and amortization	(17,771)	2,585	(15,186)	(18,617)	2,585	(16,032)
Net added value produced by the Company	93,836	−	93,836	85,674	−	85,674

The main changes introduced by CPC 09 (R1) that impacted the company's DVA were:

Adjustments to the net realizable value of inventories – they are no longer presented as inputs acquired from third parties and are now disclosed as other revenues;

Depreciation, depletion and amortization – the portion capitalized in the company's assets is no longer presented as revenue related to the construction of assets for use and the portion used in liabilities for decommissioning areas is no longer presented as inputs acquired from third parties. Thus, depreciation, depletion and amortization now represent the amounts recognized in the income statement for the period and normally used to reconcile the cash flow from operating activities and the net income for the period.

Forfaiting

The Company has a program to encourage the development of the oil and gas production chain called “Mais Valor” (More Value), operated by a partner company on a 100% digital platform.

By using this platform, the suppliers who want to anticipate their receivables may launch a reverse auction, in which the winner is the financial institution which offers the lowest discount rate. The financial institution becomes the creditor of invoices advanced by the supplier, and Petrobras pays the invoices on the same date and under the conditions originally agreed with the supplier.

Invoices are advanced in the “Mais Valor” program exclusively at the discretion of the suppliers and do not change the terms, prices and commercial conditions contracted by Petrobras with such suppliers, as well as it does not add financial charges to the Company, therefore, the classification is maintained as Trade payables in Statements of Cash Flows (Cash flows from operating activities).

As of March 31, 2024, the balance advanced by suppliers, within the scope of the program, is R$ 676 (R$ 534 as of December 31, 2023) and has a payment term from 7 to 92 days and a weighted average term of 55 days (payment term from 7 to 92 days and a weighted average term of 57 days in 2023), after the contracted commercial conditions have been met.

Uncertain treatments on Corporate Income Tax (CIT)

In 2023 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, the Company received additional charges from the Dutch tax authority, due to a final assessment on the calculation of the Corporate Income Tax (CIT) of subsidiaries in the Netherlands from 2018 to 2020, arising from the valuation for tax purposes of platforms and equipment nationalized under the Repetro tax regime, in the amount of R$ 3,002 (US$ 601 million), updated through March 31, 2024 by applicable interest rates.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

Tax treatments of certain subsidiaries from 2020 to 2022 have not yet been assessed by this tax authority. Any charges by the Dutch tax authority for those years, on a similar basis to the periods already assessed, could reach the amount of R$ 1,240 (U$S 248 million). Thus, the total amount of these uncertain tax treatments is R$ 4,242 (U$S 849 million), updated through March 31, 2024 by applicable interest rates.

The Company continues to defend its position but understands that it is not probable that the tax authority will fully accept this tax treatment. Thus, a liability was recognized with a corresponding effect in income taxes within the statement of income in 2023, by means of the expected value method, constituted by the sum of amounts weighted by the probability of loss.

Health Care Plan

The health care plan, named AMS (Saúde Petrobras), is managed and run by Petrobras Health Association (Associação Petrobras de Saúde – APS), a nonprofit civil association, and includes prevention and health care programs. The plan offers assistance to all employees, retirees, pensioners and eligible family members, according to the rules of the plan, and is open to new employees.

Benefits are paid by the Company based on the costs incurred by the participants. The financial participation of the Company and the beneficiaries on the expenses are provided for in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (ACT), being 60% by the Company and 40% by the participants.

As provided in clause 37, paragraph 2 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement 2023-2025, if the resolutions No. 42/2022 and No. 49/2023 of the Commission on Corporate Governance and the Administration of Corporate Holdings of the Brazilian Federal Government (Comissão de Governança Corporativa e de Administração de Participações Societárias da União – CGPAR) are revoked or amended, allowing adjustments in the cost-sharing of health care plans, the Company and the labor unions will discuss a new cost-sharing arrangement, in order to minimize the impact on the income of its beneficiaries.

On April 26, 2024, CGPAR Resolutions No. 42/2022 and No. 49/2023 were revoked through CGPAR Resolution No. 52/2024, which is why the company and the unions began negotiations with a view to discuss a new relationship costing.

Pension plans

The Company’s post-retirement plans are managed by Petros Foundation (Fundação Petrobras de Seguridade Social), a nonprofit legal entity governed by private law with administrative and financial autonomy.

The net obligation with pension plans recorded by the Company is measured in accordance with the requirements of IFRS which has a different measurement methodology to that applicable to pension funds, regulated by the Post-Retirement Benefit Federal Council (Conselho Nacional de Previdência Complementar – CNPC).

On March 28, 2024, the Deliberative Council of Petros Foundation approved the financial statements of the pension plans for the year ended December 31, 2023, sponsored by the Company.

The following table below presents the reconciliation of the deficit of Petros Plan registered by Petros Foundation as of December 31, 2023 with the net actuarial liability registered by the Company at the same date:

• Sponsor Contributions – according to the CNPC criteria, the calculation of the obligation in Petros considers, besides the future cash flow of the participants, the future cash flow of normal and extraordinary sponsor contributions, discounted to present value, while the Company, according to the CVM criteria, only considers such sponsor cash flows as they are made.

• Financial Assumptions - The main difference lies in the definition of the real interest rate established by Petros according to the expected profitability of the current investment portfolios and the parameters published by Previc (CNPC), considering a moving average of recent years in setting safety limits. On the other hand, in the Company's calculations, it involves the real interest rates determined through an equivalent rate that combines the maturity profile of pension and healthcare obligations with the future yield curve of longer-term Brazilian government securities (Treasury IPCA, formerly known as NTN), observing spot position at the end of the closing exercise considered.

• Adjustment to the value of plan's backing assets - In Petros, the government securities, with the portfolio immunization strategy, are marked on the curve, while in the Company, they are marked at market value.

13.3.1 Amounts in the financial statements related to defined benefit plans

The net actuarial liability represents the company's obligations, net of the fair value of plan assets (when applicable), at present value.

Civil claims, in particular: (i) lawsuits related to contracts; (ii) legal and administrative proceedings involving fines applied by the ANP - Brazilian Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis), mainly relating to production measurement systems; and (iii) collective and individual claims that discuss topics related to pension plans managed by Petros.

Environmental claims, specially: (i) fines relating to an environmental accident in the State of Paraná in 2000; (ii) fines relating to the Company’s offshore operation; and (iii) public civil action for oil spill in 2004 in Serra do Mar-São Paulo State Park.

In the preparation of the interim financial information for the period ended on March 31, 2024, 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.

In the period from January to March 2024, the increase in liabilities mainly arises from changes occurring in the following cases: (i) R$323 in the provision for civil disputes involving contractual issues; (ii) R$108 in the provision for tax disputes relating to non-approval of compensation and (iii) R$74 in the provision for labor claims.

14.2 Judicial deposits

The Company makes deposits in judicial phases, mainly to suspend the chargeability of the tax debt and to maintain its tax compliance. Judicial deposits are set out in the table below according to the nature of the corresponding lawsuits:

	Consolidated
Non-current assets	03.31.2024	12.31.2023

Accruals and charges	1,374	1,446
Others	46	(10)
Closing balance	74,049	61,095

In the period from January to March 2024, the company made judicial deposits in the amount of R$1,425, with emphasis on the deposits and the nature of the related contingencies: (i) R$ 507 referring to production taxes related to the unification of production fields (Cernambi, Tupi, Tartaruga Verde and Tartaruga Mestiça); (ii) R$364 referring to the incidence of CIDE, PIS and COFINS related to platform chartering; and (iii) R$263 referring to amounts involving contractual issues.

The Company maintains a Negotiated Legal Proceeding (NJP) agreement with the Brazilian National Treasury Attorney General's Office (PGFN), aiming to postpone judicial deposits related to federal tax lawsuits with values exceeding R$ 200, which allows judicial discussion without the immediate disbursement.

To achieve this, the company makes production capacity available as a guarantee from the Tupi, Sapinhoá, and Roncador fields. As the judicial deposits are made, the mentioned capacity is released for other processes that may be included in the NJP.

The Company’s management understands that the mentioned NJP provides greater cash predictability and ensures the maintenance of federal tax regularity. On March 31, 2024, the committed production capacity at NJP totaled R$38,399.

14.3 Contingent liabilities

As of March 31, 2024, the contingent liabilities plus interest and monetary restatement, estimated for legal proceedings, whose probability of loss is considered possible, are presented in the following table:

	Consolidated
Nature	03.31.2024	12.31.2023
Tax	182,685	180,040

Civil	57,226	55,458
Environmental	6,900	6,910
Total	297,266	291,546

The main contingent liabilities are:

Tax matters comprising: (i) withholding income tax (IRRF), Contribution of Intervention in the Economic Domain (CIDE), Social Integration Program (PIS) and Contribution to Social Security Financing (COFINS) on remittances for payments of vessel charters; (ii) income from foreign subsidiaries and associates located outside Brazil not included in the computation of taxable income (IRPJ and CSLL); (iii) collection of customs taxes and fines related to imports under the Repetro regime in the Frade consortium; (iv) disapproval of federal tax compensation; (v) collection of IRPJ and CSLL on transfer price; (vi) collection of ICMS involving several states; (vii) collection of PIS and COFINS, resulting from the payment of taxes negotiated with the Brazilian Federal Government, excluding the payment of fines; and (viii) deduction from the PIS and COFINS tax base, comprising ship-or-pay agreements and chartering of aircraft and vessels.

Labor matters comprising mainly actions requiring a review of the methodology by which the minimum compensation based on an employee's position and work schedule (Remuneração Mínima por Nível e Regime - RMNR) is calculated.

Civil matters comprising mainly: (i) lawsuits related to contracts; (ii) administrative and legal proceedings challenging an ANP order requiring Petrobras to pay additional special participation fees and royalties (production taxes) with respect to several fields, including unitization; (iii) regulation agencies fines, mainly ANP; (iv) collective and individual claims that discuss topics related to pension plans managed by Petros; and (v) judicial and arbitration proceedings that discuss disposal of assets carried out by Petrobras.

Environmental matters comprising indemnities for damages and fines related to the Company operations.

In the period from January to March 2024, the increase in contingent liabilities is mainly due to: (i) R$ 1,044 relating to collective actions that require the review of the methodology for calculating the Minimum Remuneration by Level and Regime (RMNR) supplement; (ii) R$727 referring to administrative and judicial proceedings discussing differences in special participation and royalties in different fields, including unification of fields; (iii) R$722 referring to the incidence of CIDE and PIS/COFINS related to platform chartering; (iv) R$398 referring to actions on supplementary pension plans managed by Petros; and (v) R$305 referring to taxes on imports of vessels through the Repetro Special Customs Regime.

14.3.1

Minimum Compensation Based on Employee's Position and Work Schedule (Remuneração Mínima por Nível e Regime - RMNR)

There are several lawsuits related to the Minimum Remuneration by Level and Work Regime (RMNR), with the objective of revising its calculation criteria.

The RMNR consists of a guaranteed minimum remuneration for employees, based on salary level, working conditions and geographic location. This compensation policy was created and implemented by Petrobras in 2007 through collective bargaining with union representatives, and approved at employee meetings, being questioned three years after its implementation.

In 2018, the Superior Labor Court (TST) ruled (13 votes to 12) against the company, which filed extraordinary appeals with the Federal Supreme Court (STF), which suspended the effects of the decision handed down by the Labor Court and ordered the national suspension of the processes in progress related to RMNR.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

In July, 2021, a monocratic decision was published in which the Reporting Minister granted the Extraordinary Appeal filed in one of the processes to reestablish the sentence that dismissed the copyright requests, accepting the company's thesis and recognizing the validity of the collective agreement of work freely signed between Petrobras and the labor unions, thus reversing the TST's decision.

In November 2023, the First Panel of the Supreme Federal Court decided in favor of the Company (with 3 votes against 1), confirming that there is an understanding of recognizing the merit of the collective bargaining agreement signed between the companies and the unions. In January 2024, the ruling was published by the STF. Against this ruling, the complainant and union entities filed an appeal for clarification, which were not recognized by unanimous decision of the first Panel of the Supreme Court, maintaining the decision in favor of Petrobras. This decision was published in March 2024, becoming final and unappealable. The Company monitors the application of the Supreme Federal Court decision in the lower courts.

As of March 31, 2024, there are several legal proceedings related to the Minimum Remuneration by Level and Work Regime (RMNR) reflected in the company's interim financial information, with R$672 classified as probable loss, recognized in liabilities as a provision for legal and administrative proceedings, and R$41,540 classified as possible loss.

14.4 Class action and related proceedings

14.4.1 Class action in the Netherlands

On January 23, 2017, Stichting Petrobras Compensation Foundation ("Foundation") filed a class action in the Netherlands, at the District Court of Rotterdam, against Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras, Petrobras International Braspetro B.V. (PIB BV), Petrobras Global Finance B.V. (PGF), Petrobras Oil & Gas B.V. (PO&G) and some former Petrobras managers. The Foundation alleges that it represents the interests of an unidentified group of investors and asserts that, based on the facts revealed by the Lava-Jato Operation, the defendants acted illegally before the investors. On May 26, 2021, the District Court of Rotterdam decided that the class action should proceed and that the arbitration clause of Petrobras' bylaws does not prevent the Company's shareholders from having access to the Dutch Judiciary and have their interests represented by the “Foundation”. However, investors who have already started arbitration against Petrobras or who are parties to legal proceedings in which the applicability of the arbitration clause has been definitively recognized are excluded from the scope of the action. The collective action moved to the discussion phase of merit issues.

On July 26, 2023, the Court issued an intermediary decision on the merits, ordering the production of evidence, in relation to which the parties may express their views before the publication of the decision on the merits, which is appealable. In addition, the Court expressed in advance some understanding, which must be included in the decision on the merits, among which: (i) the requests made against PIB BV, PO&G and certain former members of the Company’s management were rejected; (ii) the Court declared that Petrobras and the PGF acted illegally in relation to their investors, although the Court expressed it does not consider itself sufficiently informed about relevant aspects of Brazilian, Argentine and Luxembourger laws to definitively decide on the merits of the action; and iii) the alleged rights under Spanish legislation are prescribed.

The Foundation cannot claim compensation under the class action, which will depend not only on a result favorable to the interests of the investors in the class action, but also on the filing of subsequent actions by or on behalf of the investors by the Foundation itself, an opportunity in which Petrobras will be able to offer all the defenses already presented in the class action and others that it deems appropriate, including in relation to the occurrence and quantification of any damages that must be proven. Any compensation for the alleged damages will only be determined by court decisions in subsequent actions mentioned above.

This class action involves complex issues and the outcome is subject to substantial uncertainties, which depend on factors such as: the scope of the arbitration clause of the Petrobras Bylaws, the jurisdiction of the Dutch courts, the scope of the agreement that ended the Class Action in the United States, the Foundation's legitimacy to represent the interests of investors, the several laws applicable to the case, the information obtained from the production phase of evidence, the expert analyses, the timetable to be defined by the Court and the judicial decisions on key issues of the process, possible appeals, including before the Dutch Supreme Court, as well as the fact that the Foundation seeks only a declaratory decision in this class action.

The Company, based on the assessments of its advisors, considers that there are not enough indicative elements to qualify the universe of potential beneficiaries of a possible final decision unfavorable to Petrobras' interests, nor to quantify the supposedly compensable damages.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

Thus, it is currently not possible to predict whether the Company will be liable for the effective payment of damages in any future individual claims, as this analysis will depend on the outcome of these complex procedures. In addition, it is not possible to know which investors will be able to bring subsequent individual actions related to this matter against Petrobras.

Furthermore, the claims formulated are broad, cover a multi-year period and involve a wide variety of activities and, in the current scenario, the impacts of such claims are highly uncertain. The uncertainties inherent in all of these issues affect the value and duration of final resolution of this action. As a result, Petrobras is unable to estimate an eventual loss resulting from this action. However, Petrobras reiterates its condition as a victim of the corruption scheme revealed by the Lava-Jato operation and intends to present and prove this condition before the Dutch court.

Petrobras and its subsidiaries deny the allegations made by the Foundation and will continue to defend themselves vigorously.

14.4.2 Arbitration and other legal proceedings in Argentina

In relation to the arbitration in Argentina, the Argentine Supreme Court denied the appeal, but the Consumidores Damnificados Asociación Civil para su Defensa (formerly Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil, "Association") filed a new appeal to the Argentine Supreme Court, which was also denied, thus the arbitration was sent to the Arbitration Court. This arbitration discusses Petrobras' liability for an alleged loss of market value of Petrobras' shares in Argentina, as a result of the Lava Jato Operation. The Company is unable to provide a reliable estimate of the potential loss in this arbitration.

In parallel to such arbitration, the Association also initiated a collective action before the Civil and Commercial Court of Buenos Aires, in Argentina, with Petrobras appearing spontaneously on April 10, 2023, within the scope of which it alleges Petrobras' responsibility for an alleged loss of the market value of Petrobras' securities in Argentina, as a result of allegations made within the scope of Lava Jato Operation and their impact on the company's financial statements prior to 2015. Petrobras presented its defense on August 30, 2023. Petrobras denies the allegations presented by the Association and will vigorously defend itself against the accusations made by the author of the class action. The Company is unable to provide a reliable estimate of the potential loss in this arbitration.

Regarding criminal proceeding in Argentina related to an alleged fraudulent offer of securities, aggravated by the fact that Petrobras allegedly declared false data in its financial statements prior to 2015, the Court of Appeals revoked, on October 21, 2021, the lower court decision that had recognized Petrobras' immunity from jurisdiction and recommended that the lower court judge take steps to certify whether the Company could be considered criminally immune in Argentina for further reassessment of the issue. After carrying out the steps determined by the Court of Appeals, on May 30, 2023, the lower court denied the recognition of immunity from jurisdiction to Petrobras. Petrobras filed an appeal against this decision, which was recognized by the Court of Appeals on April 18, 2024. The Court of Appeals had already recognized that the Association could not act as a representative of financial consumers, due to the loss of its registration with the competent Argentine bodies, which was also the subject of an appeal upheld by the Court of Appeals on September 15, 2022, recognizing the Association the right to represent financial consumers. The Company presented its defense, as well as other procedural defenses, still subject to assessment by the Argentine Court of Appeals. This criminal action is being processed before the Economic Criminal Court No. 2 of the City of Buenos Aires.

As for the other criminal action for alleged non-compliance with the obligation to publish a “press release” in the Argentine market about the existence of a class action filed by Consumidores Damnificados Asociación Civil para su Defensa before the Commercial Court, there are no material developments in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024.

14.4.3.

Lawsuit in United States regarding Sete Brasil Participações S.A (“Sete”)

The EIG Energy Fund XIV, L.P. and affiliates (“EIG”) filed a lawsuit against Petrobras, before the District Court of Columbia, United States, to recover alleged losses related to its investment in Sete Brasil Participações S.A. On August 8, 2022, the judge upheld EIG's claim as to Petrobras' responsibility for the alleged losses (which was recorded in 2022 as provisions for legal proceedings) but denied the motion for summary judgment with respect to damages, whereby the award of compensation will be subject to the proof of damages by EIG at a hearing and to the consideration of the defenses by the Company. In the same decision, the judge denied the request to dismiss the case based on Petrobras' immunity from jurisdiction, when an appeal was filed with the Federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which is still pending judgement. Considering the filing of the appeal, Petrobras requested the suspension of the process, which was granted by the lower court judge on October 26, 2022.

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

On August 26, 2022, on another procedural front initiated by the EIG, the District Court of Amsterdam granted a precautionary measure to block certain Petrobras assets in the Netherlands. This granting was based on the decision of the District Court of Columbia, on August 8, 2022, and was intended to ensure the satisfaction of EIG's claims contained in the aforementioned US lawsuit. For the purpose of this injunction, the District Court of Amsterdam limited EIG's claims to a total of US$ 297.2 million, although the US Court ruled that any award of damages would depend on evidence of damages by EIG at a trial hearing. There are some discussions about the scope of the assets blocked by EIG, but there is no related lawsuit pending in the Netherlands. This precautionary block does not prevent Petrobras and its subsidiaries from complying with their obligations to third parties.

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, net reversals were recognized in the statement of income due to devaluation in assets, in the amount of R$ 130, highlighting the reversal of R$ 66 in property, plant and equipment, due to the increase in the occupied area of Pituba Tower and the reversal of R$ 60 due to approval of the sale of the 18.8% interest in the share capital of the company UEG Araucária S.A. (UEGA), resulting in the reclassification of the investment to assets held for sale and its consequent evaluation at fair value less sales expenses.

As of March 31, 2024, the fair values of financing are mainly determined by using:

Level 1 - prices quoted in active markets, when applicable, in the amount of R$ 64,209 (R$ 67,639, on December 31, 2023); and

Level 2 - cash flow method discounted by the spot rates interpolated from the indexes (or proxies) of the respective financing, observed to the pegged currencies, and by the credit risk of Petrobras, in the amount of R$ 75,446 (R$ 74,348, on December 31, 2023).

Regarding the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (IBOR Reform), there was a necessity to amend the Company's contracts referenced in these indexes, considering the end of the publication of LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) in dollars (US$), of one, three and six months.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

As of March 31, 2024, approximately 24% of the Company's finance debt has been indexed to SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) and has the CSA (Credit Spread Adjustment) negotiated with the creditors serving as a parameter, while 1.0% will still undergo contractual changes to switch to this new index.

The renegotiations performed so far have been solely for the replacement of the LIBOR benchmark and are necessary as a direct consequence of the reform of the reference interest rate. In these renegotiated cash flows, the change of the index is economically equivalent to the previous basis. Thus, the changes were prospective with the recognition of interest at the new index in the applicable periods.

Therefore, the Company does not expect material effects for the contracts that will still undergo contractual changes for the new index, considering that they will occur under market conditions.

The sensitivity analysis for financial instruments subject to foreign exchange variation is set out in note 27.2.2.

A maturity schedule of the Company’s finance debt (undiscounted), including face value and interest payments is set out as follows:

Basic and diluted earnings per share (R$ per share)
Common	1.83	2.93
Preferred	1.83	2.93

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to shareholders of Petrobras by the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period. The change in the weighted average number of outstanding shares is due to the Share repurchase program (preferred shares) which is ongoing at the Company.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the net income attributable to shareholders of Petrobras and the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period taking into account the effects of all dilutive potential shares (equity instrument or contractual arrangements that are convertible into shares).

Basic and diluted earnings are identical as the Company has no potentially dilutive shares.

27.

Financial risk management

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.

Market risks

27.2.1

Risk management of products prices

Petrobras prefers exposure to the price cycle to the systematic performance of protection of operations of purchase or sale of goods, whose objective is to meet its operational needs, with the use of derivative financial instruments. However, subject to the analysis of the business environment and the prospects for carrying out the Strategic Plan, the execution of an occasional hedging strategy with derivatives may be applicable.

a) Other commodity derivative transactions

Petrobras, using its assets, positions and proprietary and market knowledge from its operations in Brazil and abroad, seeks to capture market opportunities through the purchase and sale of oil and oil products, which can occasionally be optimized with the use of commodity derivative instruments to manage price risk in a safe and controlled manner.

Sensitivity analysis of commodity derivatives

The probable scenario uses market references, used in pricing models for oil, oil products and natural gas markets, and considers the closing price of the asset on March 31, 2024. Therefore, no variation is considered arising from outstanding operations in this scenario. The reasonably possible and remote scenarios reflect the potential effects on the statement of income from outstanding transactions, considering a variation in the closing price of 20% and 40%, respectively. To simulate the most unfavorable scenarios, the variation was applied to each asset according to open transactions: price decrease for long positions and increase for short positions.

In the three-month period ended on March 31, 2024, an exchange loss of R$39 was recognized referring to the ineffectiveness in the exchange variation line (exchange gain of R$510 in the same period in 2023).

Future exports designated as hedged items in cash flow hedge relationships represent, on average, 55.44% of highly probable future exports.

The movement in the exchange variation accumulated in other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2024, to be realized by future exports, is shown below:

Changes in expectations of realization of export prices and volumes in future reviews of business plans may determine the need for additional reclassifications of accumulated exchange variation in shareholders' equity to the statement of income. A sensitivity analysis with an average Brent oil price lower in US$ 10/barrel than considered in the last revision of the Strategic Plan 2024-2028, would not indicate the need to reclassify the exchange variation from the shareholders’ equity to the statement of income.

b) Information on ongoing contracts

As of March 31, 2024, the company has swap contracts - IPCA x CDI and CDI x Dollar outstanding.

Swap contracts – IPCA x CDI and CDI x Dollar

In 2019, Petrobras entered into derivative operations with the objective of protecting itself from exposure arising from the 1st series of the 7th issue of debentures, with IPCA x CDI interest swap operations, maturing in September 2029 and September 2034, and operations of cross-currency swap CDI x Dollar, with maturities in September 2024 and September 2029.

In July 2023, the 1^st repurchase plan for these debentures was closed, initiated on July 15,2022. During the term of this plan, only an immaterial amount of this debt had been effectively repurchased. Thus, the position in this swap remains unchanged.

Changes in interest rate forward curves (CDI interest rate) may affect the Company's results, due to the market value of these swap contracts. In preparing a sensitivity analysis for these curves, a parallel shock on this curve was estimated based on the average maturity of these swap contracts, in the scope of the Company’s Risk Management Policy. For possible and remote scenarios, parallel shocks of 40% and 80% were applied to the interest rate forward curves, which resulted in effects of 435 b.p. and 869 b.p., respectively, on the estimated interest rates. The effects of this sensitivity analysis, keeping all other variables remaining constant, are shown in the following table:

	Possible Result	Remote Result
SWAP foreign currency (IPCA x USD)	(50)	(97)

The methodology used to calculate the fair value of this swap operation consists of calculating the future value of the operations, using rates agreed in each contract and the projections of the interest rate curves, IPCA coupon and foreign exchange coupon, discounting to present value using the risk-free rate. Curves are obtained from Bloomberg based on forward contracts traded in stock exchanges.

The mark-to-market is adjusted to the credit risk of the counterparts, which effect is immaterial.

c) Sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange risk on financial instruments

The scenario considered probable is referenced by an external source, Focus and Thomson Reuters, based on the exchange rate forecast for the close of the next quarter. The possible and remote scenarios have the same references and consider the appreciation of the exchange rate at the end of the quarter (risk) at 20% and 40%, respectively, with the exception of the balances of assets and liabilities in foreign currency of subsidiaries abroad, when carried out in currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies. These analyzes cover only the exchange rate variation and keep all other variables constant.

27.2.3 Interest rate risk management

The company preferentially does not use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to interest rate fluctuations, as they do not cause material impacts, except in specific situations presented by Petrobras subsidiaries.

The interest rate risk sensitivity analysis is performed for a 12-month horizon. The values referring to the possible and remote scenarios mean the total floating interest expense in the event of a variation of 40% and 80% in these interest rates, respectively, keeping all other variables constant.

The following table informs, in the probable scenario, the amount to be disbursed by Petrobras with the payment of interest related to debts with floating interest rate on March 31, 2024.

27.3 Liquidity risk management

The possibility of a shortage of cash to settle the Company’s obligations on the agreed dates is managed by the Company. The Company mitigates its liquidity risk by defining reference parameters for treasury management and by periodically analyzing the risks associated to the projected cash flow, quantifying its main risks through Monte Carlo simulations. These risks include oil prices, exchange rates, gasoline and diesel international prices, among others. In this way, the Company is able to predict cash needs for its operational continuity and for the execution of its strategic plan.

In this context, even these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements presenting a negative net working capital, management believes it does not compromise its liquidity.

Additionally, the Company maintains revolving credit facilities contracted as a liquidity reserve to be used in adverse scenarios (see note 24.5). The Company regularly assesses market conditions and may enter into transactions to repurchase its own securities or those of its subsidiaries, through a variety of means, including tender offers, make whole exercises and open market repurchases, since they are in line with the Company's liability management strategy, in order to improve its debt repayment profile and cost of debt.

The maturity schedules for the Company’s undiscounted finance debt and lease liability are presented in note 24.4 and 25, respectively.

Report on the review of quarterly information - ITR

(A free translation of the original report in Portuguese, as filed with the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM, prepared in accordance with the technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Reporting and the international accounting standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB)

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras

Rio de Janeiro - RJ

Introduction

We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras (“the Company”), included in the quarterly information form - ITR for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which comprises the statement of financial position as of March 31, 2024 and the respective statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for the three-months period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with the CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Financial Reporting and the IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, such as for the presentation of these information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

This interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

Scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on reviews of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34, issued by the IASB, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission.

Other matters - Statements of added value

The individual and consolidated interim financial information referred to above includes the individual and consolidated statements of added value (DVA) for the three-month period ended at March 31, 2024, prepared under responsibility of Company’s management, and presented as supplementary information for IAS 34 purposes. These statements were submitted to review procedures carried out together with the review of the Company’s interim financial information to conclude that they are reconciled with interim financial information and accounting records, as applicable, and its form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in CPC 09 (R1) - Statement of Added Value. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that those statements were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria set forth in this Standard with respect to the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
