The Company reported 1Q-2014 earnings of R$ 5,393 million and the following highlights

 

·           Lower domestic crude oil and NGL production (a 2% decrease, 38 thousand barrels/day) compared with 4Q-2013 resulting from the demobilization of FPSO – Brazil (Roncador) and to the stoppage of P-20 platform (Marlim). The Company reached a record level of average monthly production at the pre-salt layer in March of 395 thousand bpd. 

·           Production start-up of new systems: P-58 and the successful connection of well 9-SPS-77A well to FPSO Cid. São Paulo (Sapinhoá), through a pioneering system RSB (Riser Support Buoy - Riser Supported by a submerged Buoy).

·           Higher feedstock processed (a 1% increase, 19 thousand barrels/day) compared to the 4Q-2013, with a crude oil processing record in March and increased domestic oil product production, which reduced the share of oil product imports in our sales mix.

·           Issuance of Global Notes in the amount of EUR 3.0 billion and £ 0.6 billion (equivalent to US$ 5.1 billion); and US$ 8.5 billion, to finance our Business and Management Plan.

·           8,298 employees enrolled in our Voluntary Separation Incentive Plan (PIDV) and the R$ 2,396 million expected to be paid were recognized as other operating expenses.

·           On April 25 the Company paid the first and only installment of our dividend distribution for 2013 of R$ 0.53808 per common share and R$ 0.99757 per preferred share, paid in the form of interest on capital. Amounts were restated and indexed to the Selic interest rate.

 

 

 


 
 

  

 


Comments from the CEO

Mrs. Maria das Graças Silva Foster

 

Dear Shareholders and Investors,

Our net income before finance income (expense), share of profit of equity-accounted investments, profit sharing and income taxes in the first quarter of 2014 was R$ 7.6 billion, up 8% on the fourth quarter of 2013. This increase is explained by higher prices of oil products, due to the diesel and gasoline increases that took place in November 2013, and by the lower share of imported oil products in the domestic market sales. There was an increase in operating expenses due to the extraordinary provision of R$ 2.4 billion related to the Voluntary Separation Incentive Plan (PIDV).

The consolidated net income attributable to the shareholders of Petrobras was R$ 5.4 billion, down 14% on the previous quarter (R$ 6.3 billion), mainly due to the tax benefit of R$ 3.2 billion related to the provision of interest on capital that took place in the 4Q-2013. The provision of PIDV also resulted on an impact of R$ 1.6 billion in the net income of the 1Q-2014.

Our average oil and NGL production in Brazil was 1,922 th. bpd in the 1Q-2014, down 1.9% on 4Q-2013, impacted by the decommissioning of FPSO-Brasil (Roncador field) and by the production halt in  the P-20 platform (Marlim field) for 103 days because of damages caused by a fire that affected its chemicals system in December 2013. P-20 platform returned into operation on April 7.

We highlight that, on March 17, we had the first oil from P-58 (Whales Park) whose current production is 50 th. bpd via three wells. Also in March, average oil production of the pre-salt fields reached a monthly record of 395 th. bpd. On March 19, we reached a new daily record of 420 th. bpd. It is important to underscore that this record was broken again, first on April 15, with 428 th. bpd, and then on April 18, with 444 th. bpd, due to the ramp-up of P-58 and start-up of the second well in the buoy (Buoyancy Support Riser - BSR1) of FPSO Cidade de São Paulo in Sapinhoá field.

We also highlight the procedures to start-up the first well of P-62 (Roncador field) on this May 9. As for the buoys, the installation of the four units has been completed and the first well of BSR2, interconnected to FPSO Cidade de Paraty (Lula NE field) also started operation on this May 9.

We are confident that we will achieve a production growth target of 7.5% (+/- 1 percentage point) in 2014. In the 3Q-2014, we will have the start-up of P-61/TAD (Papa-Terra field) and FPSO Cidade de Ilhabela (Sapinhoá Norte field). In the 4Q-2014, FPSO Cidade de Mangaratiba will start production at Iracema Sul field. Furthermore, we continue to increase the operational efficiency of our assets: in this 1st quarter, we achieved a gain of 58 thousand bpd in production through PROEF (Campos Basin Operational Efficiency Increase Program), which represents an operational efficiency of 95% in UO-RIO and 77% in UO-BC. Last April, UO-BC reached an efficiency threshold of 81%, the highest value for the past 46 months.

In Refining, total oil products production was 2,124 th. bpd in the 1Q-2014, up 1% on the 4Q-2013. We continue to operate at excellent levels of efficiency, as evidenced by the utilization factor of 96% reached in the 1st quarter and by the 2% drop in refining costs compared to the previous quarter.

In March, we also reached a new monthly oil processing record at our refineries, with average feedstock processed of 2,151 th. bpd, surpassing the previous monthly record of 2,139 th. bpd obtained in July 2013.

In Gas and Power, we offered 89 million m3/day of gas to the market, an increase of 9% compared to 4Q-2013, due to increased thermoelectric demand. Also in March we surpassed, for the first time, the barrier of 100 million m3/day of natural gas delivered to the consumer market, with the supply of 101.1 million m3/day on March 26. Of these, 45 million m3/day were supplied to the thermoelectric market, enabling the generation of 7,163 MW of electricity, approximately 12% of the demand of the Brazilian National Grid.

As for fertilizer production, the Bahia unit (Fafen-BA) reached, last March 31, the production of 34,715 tons of urea, a production record for this month. We also had the start-up of the Ammonium Sulphate plant, located in the Sergipe plant (Fafen-SE) on February 13, with a production capacity of 303 thousand tons/year of this product.

In the International area, we would like to highlight the start-up of the Cascade 6 and Chinook 5 wells, which increased the total production of the Cascade & Chinook field (US) to about 40 th. bpd, far higher than the 12 th. bpd achieved on average in 2013, when it had three production wells. This led to an 8% increase in oil and gas production from our international assets relative to the previous quarter, from 194 th. bpd to 209 th. bpd in the 1Q-2014, and a 33% reduction in the unit lifting cost.

As for the performance of our refineries abroad, total feedstock processed was 165 th. bpd, down 6% on the previous quarter (175 th. bod) due to the scheduled stoppage of the Okinawa refinery in February. The Pasadena refinery continues processing more than 100 th. bpd due to the availability of unconventional oil (tight oil) at competitive prices, coupled with the removal of operational bottlenecks in its facilities. Finally, the unit refining cost abroad fell by 18% from the 4Q-2013 to the 1Q-2014.

One more time, I would like to emphasize the contribution of the most important structuring program. PROCOP (Operating Costs Optimization Program) continues exceeding its goals and producing excellent results: savings in the 1Q-2014 were R$ 2.4 billion, up 42% from the target of R$ 1.7 billion. With a gain of R$ 6.6 billion already realized in 2013 and the identification of new opportunities in various initiatives, the Program now revises its goal, raising it to R$ 37.5 billion between 2013 and 2016. For 2014, the goal is R$ 7.3 billion.

Now PROCOP extends its scope to include the International Area. Initiatives incorporate Petrobras’ operating assets in eight countries, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia, United States and Japan, in the oil and natural gas production, refining and distribution segments.

The Company continues to have broad access to the sources of funding necessary for the development of its Business and Management Plan. In the 1Q-2014, we raised R$ 53.9 billion, mainly by issuing bonds in the U.S. and European markets, which allowed us to end the quarter with strong liquidity of R$ 78.5 billion in cash, considering the balance of cash, cash equivalents and government bonds. These resources are sufficient to finance investments in 2014, which will bring us, already in the coming months, increased operating cash flow as a result of increased oil and gas production and less dependence on imports of oil products, with the start-up of RNEST, in addition to achieving the gradual convergence of prices in Brazil with international benchmarks.

As for debt ratios, leverage remained at 39%. The Net Debt/EBITDA ratio increased from 3.52x in the 4Q-2013 to 4.00x in the 1Q-2014 and the main reason is the effect of provisioning for the PIDV, which reduced the EBITDA by R$ 2.4 billion. The calculation of this debt ratio considers the annualized EBITDA, thus bringing a significant impact on this quarter.

I would like to register, once again, the commitment of Petrobras Executive Board and of its employees with ethics and transparency at our organization, as expressed when we launched in the 2nd half of 2013, the Corruption Prevention Program. All the allegations presented are and will continue to be investigated through the mechanisms created for this specific purpose.

Finally, I would like to share with our shareholders and investors the results achieved so far with our Voluntary Separation Incentive Plan. 8,298 employees have enrolled, representing 12.4% of the company’s total workforce.

Fifty-five percent of the separations are expected to occur in 2014. Cost reduction is significant and should reach the conservative estimate of R$ 13.0 billion from 2014 to 2018. We estimate that the cost of the referred to incentive will be compensated within an average time of 9 months after the departure of each professional.

The Voluntary Separation Incentive Plan was developed to adjust the company’s workforce to the challenges of the 2014-2018 Business and Management Plan and to the targets of PROCOP - Operating Costs Optimization Program.  At the same time the Plan reconciles the necessary retention of knowledge, which is essential to growth and the safe and sustainable operational continuity of the company. It should also be noted that the PIDV met the expectations of thousands of company employees.

This program - PIDV - is another example of our commitment to the relentless pursuit of increased efficiency, productivity and capital discipline that will lead us to better results and to the creation of value for our shareholders and investors.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1Q-2014 x 4Q-2013 Results:

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased 14% (R$ 2,439 million), mainly due to:  

Ø Sales revenues of R$ 81,545 million, 1% higher compared to the 4Q-2013, as a result of the full impact in the 1Q-2014 of the diesel and gasoline price adjustments of November 2013, as well as higher prices of electricity, driven by an increased in the levels of the differences settlement price (PLD). Such effects were partially offset by decreased domestic demand, mainly of diesel, gasoline and LPG, lower crude oil exports (19%), reflecting lower production and higher feedstock processed, and lower volumes of trading operations.

Ø Costs of sales of R$ 62,091 million, 3% lower compared to the 4Q-2013 due to the lower share of oil product imports in our sales mix, reflecting a 2% decrease on domestic sales volumes and higher domestic oil products production, as well as lower volumes of trading operations, partially offset by foreign currency depreciation.

Income before financial results, share of profit of equity-accounted investments, profit sharing and income taxes

Income before financial results, share of profit of equity-accounted investments, profit sharing and income taxes increased by 8% (R$ 541 million), reflecting a higher gross profit, partially offset by the R$ 2,396 million impact of our Voluntary Separation Incentive Plan and lower gains on disposal of assets.

Net finance income (expense)

Decrease of R$ 2.847 million on net finance expense, due to the foreign currency appreciation of 3.4% (5.0% foreign currency depreciation in the 4Q-2013) over our net foreign currency exposure, as well as higher income with financial investments, due to an increase in the average balance of resources invested, and to decreased finance expenses due to the impact of adhering to the Federal Tax Settlement Program (REFIS) in the 4Q-2013.

Net income attributable to the shareholders of Petrobras

Net income attributable to the shareholders of Petrobras reached R$ 5,393 million, 14% lower as compared to the 4Q-2013, due to the higher income tax expenses (R$ 1,803 million), affected by the tax benefit from the deduction of interest on capital of R$ 3,162 million in the 4Q-2013, partially offset by increased net income before financial results, share of profit of equity-accounted investments, profit sharing and income taxes and by decreased net finance expense.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1Q-2014 x 1Q-2013 Results:

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased 3%, mainly due to:  

Ø Sales revenues of R$ 81,545 million, 12% higher compared to the 1Q-2013, due to:

·   Higher oil product prices in the domestic market resulting from adjustments in gasoline and diesel prices in 2013, higher electricity and natural gas prices and impact of foreign currency depreciation (19%) on oil product prices that are adjusted to reflect international prices and on exports;

·   A 3% increase in domestic oil product demand, mainly of diesel (3%), gasoline (4%) and jet fuel (6%), offset by lower crude oil export volumes (9%) and lower oil product exports (10%), mainly of fuel oil.

Ø Cost of sales of R$ 62,091 million, 16% higher compared to the 1Q-2013, due to:

·   A 3% increase in domestic sales volumes of oil products, mainly met by imports, and higher natural gas import volumes to meet demand and to replace domestic gas, due to the lower availability in the period; and

·   The impact of the depreciation of the Real (19%) on imports and production taxes.

Income before finance expense, share of profit of equity-accounted investments, profit sharing and income taxes

Income before finance expense, share of profit of equity-accounted investments, profit sharing and income taxes reached               R$ 7,577  million, a 26% decrease compared to the 1Q-2013, due to a R$ 2,396 million impact of our Voluntary Separation Incentive Plan, partially offset by a higher gross profit and by gains on disposal of assets of R$ 731 million, mainly of Brasil PCH.

Net finance income (expense)

Net finance expense was R$ 174  million (finance income of R$ 1,390 million in the 1Q-2013), due to lower foreign exchange and inflation indexation charges (R$ 985 million) over a reduced foreign exchange exposure, driven by the extension of our hedge accounting policy from May 2013 on. Net finance expense was also increased due to a higher debt.

Net income attributable to the shareholders of Petrobras

Net income attributable to the shareholders of Petrobras reached R$ 5,393  million, a 30% decrease compared to the 1Q-2013, reflecting lower income before finance expense, share of profit of equity-accounted investments, profit sharing and income taxes and a decrease in our net finance income (expense), partially offset by lower income tax expenses.

(1Q-2014 x 4Q-2013): Crude oil and NGL production decreased by 2% due to the demobilization of FPSO-Brasil (Roncador), to the stoppage of platform P-20 (Marlim) and to the termination of a joint venture between Petrobras and Shell for the production at Parque das Conchas with FPSO-Espírito Santo.

Natural gas production increased by 5% due to the increased production of FPSOs Cidade de São Paulo (Sapinhoá) and Cidade de Paraty (Piloto Lula NE) and to the scheduled stoppage of Mexilhão platform in the 4Q-2013.

 

(1Q-2014 x 1Q-2013): Crude oil and NGL production increased by 1% in the 1Q-2014 due to the production start-up of FPSOs Cidade de Itajaí (Baúna), Cidade de Paraty (Lula NE), Cidade de São Paulo (Sapinhoá) and of the Production Stationary Units Papa-Terra P-63, Roncador P-55 and Jubarte P-58. Such increase was partially offset by the natural decline of fields and by the events of FPSO-Brasil, P-20 and Parque das Conchas.

Natural gas production remained flat in the period.

(1Q-2014 x 1Q-2013): Lifting cost excluding production taxes in U.S.$/barrel decreased by 4%. Excluding the impact of foreign currency effects it increased by 6% due to the production start-up of FPSOs Cidade de Paraty (Lula NE Pilot), Dynamic Producer (Lula Central) and Cidade de São Vicente (Lula Extremo Sul), and of the Production Stationary Units Papa-Terra P-63 and Roncador P-55, with higher start-up costs per unit, as well as to an increase in employee compensation costs arising from the 2013 Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Lifting Cost - Including production taxes – U.S.$/barrel

(1Q-2014 x 4Q-2013): Excluding the impact of foreign currency effects, lifting cost including production taxes, in U.S.$/barrel, remained flat. Production taxes remained flat in the period, because the decreased average reference price of domestic oil in U.S. dollars, adjusted to reflect international prices, was offset by higher production in new fields subject to special participation charges (Lula and Baúna).

 

(1Q-2014 x 1Q-2013): Excluding the impact of foreign currency effects, lifting cost including production taxes, in U.S.$/barrel, increased by 3% due to the higher lifting cost mentioned above. Production taxes remained flat in the period due to the higher levels of special participation charges in Lula, Baúna, Roncador and Marlim Leste fields resulting from an increase in production levels when compared to the 1Q-2013, which were offset by the lower average reference price for domestic oil in U.S. dollars, adjusted to reflect international prices.

(1Q-2014 x 4Q-2013): Net income was higher as a result of higher electricity generation and average electricity prices, mainly driven by an increase in the differences settlement price; and also as a result of a gain on disposal of our interest in Brasil PCH S.A. (R$ 646 million), partially offset by higher LNG and natural gas imports to meet thermoelectric demand and by the effect of our Voluntary Separation Incentive Plan (PIDV).

 

(1Q-2014 x 1Q-2013): Net income decreased due to higher LNG and natural gas import costs to meet demand and to supply the lower availability of domestic gas, and to the effect of our Voluntary Separation Incentive Plan (PIDV), partially offset by higher average electricity prices as a result of an increase in the differences settlement price, mainly attributable to lower water reservoir levels of hydroelectric power plants located in Brazil (driven by low rainfall).

(1Q-2014 x 4Q-2013): The 42% decrease on electricity sales volumes is attributable to a lower demand in the spot market, as a result of an increase in the differences settlement price.

The 44% increase of electricity generation and the 123% increase in the differences settlement price is a result of lower water reservoir levels compared to the historical average, mainly in the Southeast of Brazil.

The 35% increase in LNG import volumes and the 3% increase in natural gas imports from Bolivia are attributable to increased thermoelectric demand.

 

(1Q-2014 x 1Q-2013): Electricity sales volumes were 33% lower, mainly in the spot market, resulting from a higher differences settlement price.

The 20% decrease in electricity generation is attributable to a lower thermoelectric dispatch in January 2014 (demand from the National Electricity Network Operator), to maintenance stoppages in thermoelectric plants (403 average MW), termination of the lease contract for UTE Araucária (349 average MW) and interruption of the natural gas supply contract for UTE Cuiabá in January (180 average MW).

Lower rainfall levels in the period caused a 100% increase in the differences settlement price.

The 20% increase in LNG import volumes and the 3% increase in natural gas imports from Bolivia result from a lower availability of domestic natural gas in the 1Q-2014.

(1Q-2014 x 4Q-2013): Our domestic sales volumes decreased by 1% compared with the 4Q-2013, primarily due to:

·         Diesel (a 6% decrease) – due to the seasonality of diesel demand as a result of lower economic activity in the beginning of the year;

·         Gasoline (a 1% decrease) – due to the seasonality of gasoline demand resulting from the higher available income in the last quarter attributable to Christmas bonuses and from a higher consumption during the year-end holiday season;

·         LPG (a 6% decrease) – due to the higher average temperatures, lower economic activity and vacation season in the 1Q-2014;

·         Fuel oil (a 11% increase) – due to the increased consumption by thermoelectric plants;

·         Naphta (an 9% increase) – as a result of a higher production in the 1Q-2014 and of a scheduled stoppage in Braskem in the 4Q-2013;

·         Natural gas (an 9% increase) – due to the increased consumption by thermoelectric plants.

 

(1Q-2014 x 1Q-2013): Our domestic sales volumes increased by 3% in the 1Q-2014 compared with the 1Q-2013, primarily due to:

·         Diesel (a % increase) – due to the increase in the retail sector, increased demand in infrastructure construction projects, higher Brazilian diesel-moved light vehicle fleet (van, pick up and SUV), offset by lower thermoelectric consumption;

·         Gasoline (a % increase) – as a result of an increase in the flex-fuel automotive fleet, driven by the higher competitive advantage of gasoline relatively to ethanol in most Brazilian states and of a higher household consumption. These effects were partially offset by the increase of the anhydrous ethanol mandatory content in Type C gasoline (from 20% to 25%).

Our principal uses of funds in the 1Q-2014 were for our capital expenditures (R$ 20,336 million). We met these requirements with cash provided by operating activities of R$ 9,415 million and also by net long-term financing of R$ 44,001 million. Our balance of adjusted cash and cash equivalents17increased by R$ 32,221 million in the 1Q-2014.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the 1Q-2014 decreased by 37% when compared to the 1Q-2013 as a result of an increase in our need for working capital (R$ 5,505 million) attributable to a higher balance of trading receivables and an increase in inventory levels.

Proceeds from long-term financing, net of repayments, totaled R$ 44,001 million in the 1Q-2014, a R$ 42,868 million increase when compared to the 1Q-2013. The principal sources of long-term financing were the issuance of notes for a total of US$ 5.1 billion in the European capital market in January and US$ 8.5 billion in the North-American capital market in March.

Our principal uses of funds were for capital expenditures and investments in operating units, which totaled R$ 20,336 million in the 1Q-2014 versus R$ 18,400 million in the 1Q-2013, mainly in E&P, which increased by R$ 2,645 million in the 1Q-2014.

As of March 31, 2014, we had a balance of cash and cash equivalents of R$ 68,467 million, versus R$ 37,172 million as of December 31, 2013. Our adjusted cash and cash equivalents balance increased by 70% from R$ 46,257 million as of December 31, 2013 to R$ 78,478 million as of March 31, 2014.


16 For more details, see the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Data on page 21.

17Our adjusted cash and cash equivalents include government bonds with maturities of more than 90 days. This measure is not computed in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards – IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for cash and cash equivalents computed in accordance with IFRS. It may not be comparable to adjusted cash and cash equivalents of other companies, however management believes that it is an appropriate supplemental measure that helps investors assess our liquidity and assists management in targeting leverage improvements.

1.        Effect of the average cost on the cost of sales (R$ million)

Products remain in inventory for an average of 60 days and, therefore, the changes on international crude oil and oil products prices and the effect of the exchange rate variation on imports and on production taxes do not fully impact the costs of sales for the period, fully impacting only the following period. The estimated effects on the cost of sales are set out in the table below:

(*) The cost of sales of the 1Q-2014 was more favored by the effect of the average cost of inventories when compared with the previous quarter, considering the changes on international prices and the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Real at the moment of inventory formation.

Our adjusted EBITDA (according to CVM Instruction 527 of October 4, 2012) is the net income before net finance income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, share of profit of equity-accounted investments and impairment, which provides a better information about our ability to pay debt, carry out investments and cover our working capital needs. Adjusted EBITDA is not an IFRS measure and may not be comparable with the same measure as reported by other companies. [24] 


24Adjusted EBITDA margin equals Adjusted EBITDA divided by sales revenues.

(1Q-2014 x 4Q-2013): Production taxes in Reais in Brazil decreased 2% due to lower total production, higher than the 3% increase in the reference price for domestic oil, that reached an average of R$/bbl 226.84 (US$/bbl 95.98) in the 1Q-2014 compared to R$/bbl 220.92 (US$/bbl 97.06) in the 4Q-2013.

 

(1Q-2014 x 1Q-2013): Production taxes in Reais in Brazil increased 16% due to the 14% increase in the reference price for domestic oil, that reached an average of R$/bbl 226.84 (US$/bbl 95.98) in the 1Q-2014 compared to R$/bbl 198.67 (US$/bbl 99.58) in the 1Q-2013, as well as due to the higher production of larger fields that pay special participation charges.

APPENDIX

5.        Assets and Liabilities subject to Exchange Variation

The Company has assets and liabilities subject to foreign exchange variations, for which the main exposure is to the Real relative to the U.S. dollar. As from the mid-May 2013, the Company extended the use of the hedge accounting practice to hedge future exports.

This practice, which is regulated in Brazil by means of Accounting Pronouncement CPC 38 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, allows companies to reduce impacts to their periodic results caused by exchange rate changes if they generate future cash flows in currencies other than their local currency of similar amounts but opposite directions. For Petrobras, this mechanism initially includes approximately 70% of the total net debt exposed to changes in foreign exchange rate, hedging portions of our exports for a seven-year period.

Through the extension of the hedge accounting practice, foreign exchange gains or losses from debt expressed in U.S. dollars, will only affect the Company’s profit and loss when the future exports affect our income statement. Until our future exports are realized, such foreign exchange variations will be recognized in our shareholders’ equity.

The balances of assets and liabilities in foreign currency of subsidiaries outside of Brazil are not included on the exposure below when transacted in a currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies. On March 31, 2014, the Company had a net liability position regarding foreign exchange exposure hence the appreciation of the Real relative to other currencies generates an exchange variation income, while the depreciation of the Real generates an exchange variation expense.
