1. MAIN MILESTONES AND ECONOMIC MAGNITUDES OF THE FIRST QUARTER 2012

Operating income was ARS 2,502 million in the first quarter of 2012, 2.6% less than for the same period in 2011.

Operating revenues in the first quarter of 2012 reached ARS 14,850 million, 17.7% higher than for the same period in the previous year. This increase was positively affected by higher sales volumes of liquid fuels in the domestic market on account of larger volumes of delivered gasoline (super and premium) and higher prices, driven by the impact of a recovery in the international reference oil price on the products sold in the domestic market, such as fuel oil and some petrochemical products and by-products that are affected by such fluctuations in the international market.

Cost of sales during the first quarter of 2012 was 23.7% higher than in the same period in 2011. This increase is mainly explained by approximately 28.3% higher production costs, mainly due to higher royalties paid to the provinces, higher depreciation and higher expenses related to salaries, external services, and transport and freight. Also, purchases, which were 10.7% below those in the first quarter of 2011, partially offset the higher production costs, as a consequence of lower availability of ‘neuquino’ (light) crude oil in the domestic market.

Net income for the period was ARS 1,294 million, 18.9% lower than for the same period in 2011, which was affected by a higher income tax due to the application of appropriate financial accounting standards.

Total investments in fixed assets reached ARS 2,132 million in the first quarter, outpacing those in the first quarter of 2011 by 17.4%. This increase was mainly driven by the progress in Downstream projects and the cost increase in Upstream activities.

The interim Consolidated Financial Statements of YPF S.A. and its controlled companies for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 have been presented for the first time based on International Audit Standard (“IAS”) No. 34 “Interim financial information”. The adoption of such regulations, as well as that of all the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) was in accordance with Technical

Resolution No. 26 of the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and with the Regulations of National Securities Commission.

Upstream operating income was ARS 1,990 million, 12.0% above the first quarter of 2011.

The higher result in the first quarter was mainly due to the continuous adjustment of crude oil prices in the domestic market. In turn, this larger income reached in the quarter was partially offset by the increase in operating costs. The main costs that were affected were: operation services and other service contracts, repair and maintenance, payment of royalties to provinces (due to higher wellhead price) and heavier depreciations.

In international markets, the average indicator of Brent international price for the first quarter of 2012 was 118.5 USD/bbl, 12.3% above that for the first quarter of 2011. In this context the price of crude oil in the local market for same period improved by 29.0% up to 69.8 USD/bbl. As for natural gas, average sales price was 2.73 USD/Mmbtu, 6.6% above that for the first quarter of 2011, mainly due to better prices on sales to the industrial sector. Crude oil and LNG production reached 227.9 kbbld and 54.7 Kbbld

respectively, 5.9% below and 2.6% above the same period in 2011. As for natural gas, production was 32.6 Mm3d in the first quarter of 2012, 7.1% lower than for the same period in 2011. Total production of hydrocarbons in the first quarter of this year was 487.4 Kbped against 516.4 Kbped for same period in the previous year. This drop in production was mainly caused by the fact that the investments and activities performed during the last years and during the first quarter of 2012 fell short in offsetting natural depletion of our fields.

The first quarter results of the affiliate companies (controlled or non-controlled) in Upstream, including mainly YPF Holdings, YPF International, Mega, Pluspetrol and YPF Oil Services, was ARS -104 million.

Investments

Investments in Upstream were ARS 1,672 million in the first quarter of 2012, outpacing those for the same period in 2011 by 12.2%.

As regards development in conventional formations during the first quarter of 2012, the investments worth mentioning are those aiming at increasing the recovery factor mainly in the areas of Barranca Baya, Cañadón Seco and Manantiales Behr. Additionally, the main investments in secondary recovery were made in the areas of Señal Picada, Aguada Toledo, Sierra Barrosa and Los Perales. In turn, the activities that stand out are those carried out in the Vizcacheras block, in the province of Mendoza, where on March 29, 2012 the Company reported the finding of resources estimated in 20 Mboe.1

Within the non-conventional hydrocarbons area, 14 wells were completed during the first quarter 2012, among them, wells La fija X-1 and Malal del Medio -94 in Vaca Muerta formation, in the province of Mendoza; which results have allowed us to widen the estimation of the prospective area of such formation to 2,000 Km2, with estimated resources reaching 1,000 Mboe.1

MARS: millions of pesos.

Operating income in Downstream for the first quarter was ARS 1.102 million, 5.1% less than for the first quarter of 2011.

The lower result was mainly explained by the increase in operating costs, higher purchase price for crude oil and higher volumes and prices on biofuel purchases in the domestic market. As for revenues, there was an increase of approximately 22.4% as a consequence of the price increase for products sold in the local market and the larger volumes of delivered gasoline (super and premium).

The volume of crude oil processed in the quarter was 265 Kboed, 9.2% less than for the first quarter of 2011, mainly due to lower availability of ‘neuquino’ crude oil in the market.

In turn, total sale volumes of petroleum products in the domestic market fell by 3.3% compared to the first quarter of 2011, with increasing sales of gasoline, and gas oil and fuel oil sales decreasing in the domestic market. As regards exports, there was a 30.3% drop, mainly in petrochemical naphtha and LPG.

Sales of petrochemical products in the domestic market stood at similar levels as in the first quarter of 2011. As for exports, there was a 42.5% drop mainly in methanol.

The first quarter results of Downstream affiliate companies, including mainly OPESSA, Refinor and Profertil, were ARS 91 million.

Investments

Investments in Downstream in the quarter were ARS 421 million, 37.6% above that for the same quarter of 2011. Such increase was grounded on the set of multiannual projects intended to increase gasoline and diesel production capacity, improve fuel quality, and widen logistics and storage capacity. Within these projects, the increase in investment was mainly based on the advances in the CCR project at our chemical complex in Ensenada and on the progress in the desulphurization project at Lujan de Cuyo and La Plata refineries to improve the quality of refined products.

2.3 CORPORATE

This business segment involves mainly running costs and other activities that are not reported against the business units previously mentioned.

Corporate net costs for the first quarter were ARS 590 million, ARS 220 million more than for the same period of 2011. This increase was mainly generated by higher salaries and expenses relating to licensees and outsourced IT services. Also, the lower results yielded by the controlled company A-Evangelista S.A due to poorer operating margins reported in its activities of on-site set up and services adversely impacted on this quarter’s results.

3. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE QUARTER AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 29, 2012 YPF S.A. reported the preliminary results of exploratory wells on unconventional and conventional oil formations in the Mendoza Province. The positive results obtained in the wells La Fija X-1 y Malal del Medio–94, in the Vaca Muerta formation allowed us to extend the estimate of the prospective area of the mentioned formation in 2,000 Km2, with expected resources totaling 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent in Vaca Muerta in the Mendoza Province. In respect of the conventional formation, it was reported that the Vizcacheras Oeste X-2 exploratory well located in the Vizcacheras block was drilled.

4.1 ADOPTION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)

The interim Consolidated Financial Statements of YPF S.A. and its controlled companies for the period ended March 31,2012 are presented for the first time based on International Audit Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim financial information” and in accordance with Technical Resolution No. 26 of the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and with the Regulations of National Securities Commission. The application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is mandatory for the Company, according to the professional accounting standard and regulatory standards mentioned above, for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2012. Also, even though the interim consolidated financial statements will be presented in accordance to IAS 34, they will include information additional to the one required by the adopted form, so that the reader has all the information necessary for an appropriate understanding. In accordance to IFRS 1, the date of transition to IFRS is January 1, 2011 (the “transition date”).

Below are the main effects on the financial statements of YPF starting from the application of the IFRS.

1.

Effect of application of the functional and reporting currency:

Under IFRS, companies should determine their functional currency, which may differ from their reporting currency. YPF’s management has defined the U.S. dollar as the functional currency of YPF. Accordingly, the shareholders’ equity as of January 1 and December 31, 2011, prepared under previous Argentine GAAP have been remeasured into U.S. dollars according to the procedure set out in IAS 21 and IFRS 1, with the objective of generating the same accounting information that would have been reported if the accounting records were kept in the functional currency.

Additionally the Company must file its financial statements in pesos. Accordingly, the amounts obtained from the process above mentioned, need to be converted into pesos. As a result, the exchange differences resulting will be reported in Other Comprehensive Income for the year.

a.1) According to the methodology mentioned above, the fixed assets and intangible assets of the Company have been increased.

a.2) For the valuation of inventories, the depreciation of fixed assets and certain intangible assets according to IFRS is part of their cost. Since such depreciation has been affected by the adjustment in fixed assets and Intangible assets, the Company proceeded to increase the value of its inventories.

a.3) Mainly includes the adjustments resulting from the application of the concept of functional currency to investments valued using the equity method.

 

2.

Income Tax Effect:

The effect of applying the current tax rate on the difference generated between the tax basis of fixed assets and intangible assets and their book value under IFRS, measured in its functional currency and converted into resulted in a decrease in Shareholders’ equity described in the chart. Similarly, as result of the adjustment in the valuation of inventories, the difference between the book value under IFRS of the related assets and their tax basis generates a decrease in Shareholders’ equity. The application of functional currency to long term investments valued using the equity method had no Tax Effect. As a consequence of the above mentioned, the calculation of the effective income tax rate (income tax divided by net income before income tax) will be over 35%, which does not imply effects in the future payments of this tax with respect to those from the application of the accounting principles before the adoption of IFRS.

(1) Exchange differences:

Corresponds to the elimination of exchange differences recorded under previous Argentine GAAP originated by monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the peso, and the recognition of the exchange differences corresponding to the measurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollar, as a result of the application of the functional currency concept previously mentioned.

(2) Depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets:

Corresponds to the difference in depreciations and amortizations charged to expenses in the year, derived from the valuation of fixed assets and intangible assets, respectively, as a result of the application of the concept of functional currency described above.

(3) Income tax effect:

Corresponds to the effect of income tax in accordance with the requirements of IAS 12 “Income tax”.

(4) Other:

Mainly includes the effect, in net income, of the valuation of inventories under IFRS and the adjustments resulting from the application of functional currency, as defined by IFRS, to long term investments valued using the equity method that defined the U.S. dollar as its functional currency.

(5) Conversion differences:

The main effects are generated by:

–    Translation into U.S. dollars of financial information corresponding to investments in companies where the functional currency differs from the Company’s functional currency;

–    Conversion from U.S. dollars into pesos of the statement of income and Shareholders’ equity at the prevailing exchange rate when operations were generated (or, for practical reasons and when exchange rates do not fluctuate significantly, the average exchange rate for each month);

–    Conversion from U.S. dollars into pesos of U.S. dollar-denominated assets and liabilities at the exchange rate as of the end of the fiscal year.

(6) Actuarial losses – Pension plans

YPF Holdings Inc., a controlled company which has operations in the United States of America, has non-contributory defined-benefit pension plans and postretirement and postemployment benefits (“pension plans”)

Under Argentine GAAP, the actuarial losses arising from the remeasurement of the defined benefit liability of pension of plans were charged to the “Other (expense) income, net” account of the statement of income.

Under IFRS, according to the provisions of IAS 19, remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income, and shall not be reclassified to profit or loss in a subsequent period but are reclassified directly to retained earnings.
