In the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, there was no loss within costs of sales nor reversal of cost of sales, adjusting inventories to net realizable value in U.S. dollars (compared to a US$ 7 loss within cost of sales in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025), primarily due to changes in international prices of crude oil and oil products.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had pledged crude oil and oil products volumes as collateral for the Term of Financial Commitment (TFC) related to Pension Plans PPSP-R, PPSP-R Pre-70 and PPSP-NR Pre-70 signed by Petrobras and Fundação Petrobras de Seguridade Social – Petros Foundation in 2008, in the estimated amount of US$ 889 (US$ 786 at December 31, 2025).

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, 2026, the balance advanced by suppliers, within the scope of the program, is US$ 173 (US$ 133 as of December 31, 2025) and has a payment term from 6 to 92 days and a weighted average term of 43 days (payment term from 7 to 93 days and a weighted average term of 55 days in 2025), after the contracted commercial conditions have been met.

13.1.3.Uncertain tax treatments on income taxes

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has US$ 631 (US$ 614 as of December 31, 2025) of uncertain tax treatments, provisioned in the statement of financial position, mainly related to the deduction of amounts paid in the basis of calculation of income taxes in Brazil, as well as to the incidence of Corporate Income Tax (CIT) on transactions abroad, related to judicial and administrative proceedings.

(Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

 

In addition, the Company has US$ 5,479 of uncertain tax treatments (US$ 5,146 as of December 31, 2025), unprovisioned, in Brazil and abroad, on income taxes related to judicial and administrative proceedings, mainly relating to income of subsidiaries abroad.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has other positions that can be considered as uncertain tax treatments on income taxes amounting to US$ 5,329 (US$ 4,912 as of December 31, 2025), given the possibility of different interpretation by the tax authority. These uncertain tax treatments are supported by technical assessments and tax risk assessment methodology. Therefore, Petrobras believes that such positions are likely to be accepted by the tax authorities (including judicial courts).

Thus, as of March 31, 2026, the total amount of uncertain tax treatments amounts to US$ 11,439 (US$ 10,672 as of December 31, 2025), for which Petrobras will continue to defend its position.

Pension plans

The Company’s post-retirement plans are managed by Petros Foundation, a nonprofit legal entity governed by private law with administrative and financial autonomy.

Pension plans in Brazil are regulated by the National Council for Supplementary Pension (Conselho Nacional de Previdência Complementar – CNPC), which establishes all guidelines and procedures to be adopted by the plans for their management and relationship with stakeholders.

Petros Foundation periodically carries out revisions of the plans and, when applicable, establishes measures aiming at maintaining the financial sustainability of the plans.

On March 24, 2026, the Deliberative Council of Petros Foundation approved the financial statements of the pension plans sponsored by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The net obligation with pension plans recorded by the Company is measured in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards requirements, which has a different measurement methodology to that applicable to pension funds in Brazil, which are regulated by the CNPC.

The following table below presents the reconciliation of the deficit of Petros Plan registered by Petros Foundation as of December 31, 2025 with the net actuarial liability registered by the Company at the same date:

  PPSP-R (1) PPSP-NR (1)
Deficit registered by Petros 236 118
Ordinary and extraordinary future contributions - sponsor 4,273 1,259
Contributions related to the TFC - sponsor 786 567
Financial assumptions (interest rate and inflation), changes in fair value of plan assets and actuarial valuation method (2,049) (496)
Net actuarial liability recorded by the Company 3,247 1,448
(1) Includes the balance of PPSP-R pre-70 and PPSP-NR pre-70.

 

 

The main difference between these methodologies is that, in the CNPC criterion, Petros Foundation considers the future cash flows of normal and extraordinary sponsor’s contributions, discounted to present value, while the Company considers these cash flows as they are realized. In addition, Petros Foundation sets the real interest rate based on profitability expectations and on parameters set by the Superintendência Nacional de Previdência Complementar - PREVIC (National Supplementary Pension Authority), while the Company uses a rate that combines the maturity profile of the obligations with the yield curve of government bonds. Regarding the plan assets, Petros Foundation marks government bonds at market value or on the curve, while the Company marks all of them at market value.

14.2.1.Actuarial liabilities recognized in the statement of financial position, related to defined benefit plans

Net actuarial liabilities represent the obligations of the Company, net of the fair value of plan assets (when applicable), at present value.

15.Provisions for legal proceedings, judicial deposits and contingent liabilities
15.1.Provisions for legal proceedings

The Company recognizes provisions for legal, administrative and arbitral proceedings, based on the best estimate of the costs, for which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required and that can be reliably estimated. These proceedings mainly include:

·Tax claims including: (i) VAT tax collection - bunker oil involving several states; (ii) social security contributions - claims for alleged non-payment on allowances and bonuses; and (iii) claims relating to benefits previously taken for Brazilian federal tax credits applied that were subsequently alleged to be disallowable, including disallowance of PIS and COFINS tax credits.
·Labor claims, in particular: (i) several individual and collective labor claims; and (ii) legal actions from outsourced employees.
·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, as well as administrative and judicial proceedings that discuss the difference between special participation and royalties in several oil fields; (iii) lawsuits that discuss matters related to pension plans managed by Petros; (iv) civil claims involving disposal of assets; and (v) lawsuits that discuss compensation related to expropriation and right-of-way easements.

·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 State Park.

Provisions for legal proceedings are set out as follows:

Non-current liabilities 03.31.2026 12.31.2025
Labor claims 841 691

In preparing its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, 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.

15.2.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:

Non-current assets 03.31.2026 12.31.2025
Tax 10,991 10,172
Labor 878 839
Civil 3,993 3,702
Environmental and others 105 101
Total 15,967 14,814

Use (29) (33)
Accruals and charges 353 250
Translation adjustment 806 929
Closing Balance 15,967 13,075
 

 

 

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 US$ 38 (R$ 200 million), 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. As of March 31, 2026, the balance of production capacity held in guarantee in the NJP is US$ 1,644 (US$ 1,417 as of December 31, 2025).

15.4.Collective action and related proceedings

15.4.1.     Collective 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, the interests of 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.

On October 30, 2024, after the parties' comments on the technical evidence, the District Court of Rotterdam issued a ruling, in which it broadly accepted Petrobras' arguments regarding the requests presented in favor of the Company's shareholders and considered that: i) in accordance with Brazilian legislation, all damages alleged by the Foundation qualify as indirect and are not subject to compensation; and ii) according to Argentine law, shareholders cannot, in principle, request compensation from the Company for damages alleged by the Foundation, and the Foundation has not demonstrated that it represents a sufficient number of investors who could, in theory, present such a request.

Therefore, the District Court of Rotterdam rejected the Foundation's allegations in accordance with Brazilian and Argentine law, which resulted in the rejection of all requests made in favor of shareholders. With respect to certain bondholders, the Court considered that Petrobras and PGF acted illegally under Luxembourg law, while PGF acted illegally under Dutch law.

Furthermore, the District Court of Rotterdam confirmed the following issues of the decision released to the market on July 26, 2023: (i) rejection of the allegations against PIBBV, POG BV and the former CEOs of Petrobras from July 2005 to February 2015; and (ii) prescription of requests formulated in accordance with Spanish legislation.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

(Expressed in millions of US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

 

Petrobras, the Foundation and PGF have appealed against the ruling and previous interim decisions and their appeals are pending of judgment.

In relation to bondholders, the Foundation cannot claim compensation under the class action, which will depend not only on a final 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 and PGF 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 by the potential beneficiaries of the decision or by the Foundation. Any compensation for the alleged damages will only be determined by court decisions in subsequent actions.

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 court, 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 Hague Court of Appeal 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.

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 duration of final resolution of this action. As a result, Petrobras is unable to estimate an eventual loss resulting from this action. However, Petrobras continues to reject the Foundation's allegations, in relation to which it was considered a victim by all Brazilian authorities, including the Supreme Federal Court.

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

15.4.2.     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 so-called Lava Jato Operation. The Company does not have elements that allow it 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 defend itself against the accusations made by the author of the class action. The Company does not have elements that allow it 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, on September 3, 2025, the lower court recognized the statute of limitations on the criminal action and ordered its dismissal. The judgment dismissing the criminal action followed the Court of Appeals' decision on April 3, 2025, which overturned the previous decision to prosecute Petrobras and the previously ordered injunction. On March 2, 2026, the second instance of the Argentine Court rejected the Association's appeal against the dismissal of the criminal case and, on April 23, 2026, ruled that the appeal for cassation filed by the Association was inadmissible. This decision is subject to appeal.

15.4.3.     Arbitrations proposed by non-controlling shareholders in Brazil

There were no relevant changes in the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

The Company annually tests its assets for impairment or when there is an indication that their carrying amount may not be recoverable, or that there may be a reversal of impairment losses recognized in previous years.

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, net impairment reversals were recognized in the amount of US$ 409, mainly due to the Nitrogen Fertilizer Unit (UFN-III), located in Três Lagoas/MS, in the amount of US$ 405, whose approval for project resumption resulted in an estimate of positive future cash generation for the asset, with an increase in its recoverable value.

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, net impairment losses were recognized in the amount of US$ 258, mainly due to the economic unfeasibility of blocks C-M-753 e C-M-789, located in the Santos basin, which resulted in the recognition of a US$ 208 loss.

26.4.Distributions to shareholders

Dividends relating to 2025

On April 16, 2026, the Annual General Shareholders Meeting approved dividends relating to 2025, amounting to US$ 7,507 (US$ 0.5814 per outstanding share). This amount includes US$ 6,040 anticipated during 2025 (updated by Selic interest rate from the date of each payment to December 31, 2025) and US$ 1,467 of complementary dividends which is accounted for as additional dividends proposed.

These complementary dividends were reclassified from equity to liabilities on the date of approval at the Annual General Shareholders Meeting and will be paid in 2 installments on May 20 and June 22, 2026, in the form of interest on capital, updated by the Selic interest rate from December 31, 2025 to the date of each payment.

This payment of interest on capital resulted in a deductible expense which reduced the income tax expense by US$ 526. Interest on capital is subject to withholding income tax (IRRF), except for immune and exempt shareholders, as established in applicable law. The tax benefit related to the complementary dividends will be recognized in the second quarter of 2026.

On November 27, 2025, law No. 15,270/2025 was published, establishing the withholding income tax at a 10% rate on dividends distributed to individuals domiciled in Brazil, when such dividends exceed R$ 50 thousand per month. The 10% rate also applies to dividends distributed abroad to individuals or legal entities, regardless of the amount, except in specific situations provided for by law.  In addition, supplementary law No. 224/2025 increased the withholding income tax rate applicable to interest on capital from 15% to 17.5%. Both laws came into effect on January 1, 2026.

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.

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, such as price risk (related to crude oil and oil products prices), foreign exchange rates risk, interest rates risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Corporate risk management is part of the Company’s commitment to act ethically and comply with the legal and regulatory requirements of the countries where it operates.

The Company presents a sensitivity analysis for the period of one year, except for operations with commodity derivatives, for which a three-month period is applied, due to the short-term nature of these transactions.

The Company uses hedge accounting for the risk arising from foreign exchange rate variations of “highly probable future exports” (hedged item) by means of foreign exchange rate variations of proportions of certain obligations denominated in U.S. dollars (hedging instruments).

The carrying amounts, the fair value as of March 31, 2026, and a schedule of expected reclassifications to the statement of income of cumulative losses recognized in other comprehensive income (shareholders’ equity) based on a US$ 1.00 / R$ 5.2194 exchange rate are set out below:

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized a US$ 39 gain, within foreign exchange rate gains (losses), due to ineffectiveness (a US$ 82 gain in the same period of 2025).

The average ratio of future exports for which cash flow hedge accounting was designated to highly probable future exports is 71.2%.

A roll-forward schedule of cumulative foreign exchange rate losses recognized in equity to be realized by future exports is set out below:

  Jan-Mar/2026 Jan-Mar/2025
Opening balance (20,974) (30,845)
Recognized in equity 3,705 4,852
Reclassified to the statement of income 507 722
Other comprehensive income (loss) 4,212 5,574
Closing balance (16,762) (25,271)

 

 

Additional hedging relationships may be revoked or additional reclassification adjustments from equity to the statement of income may occur as a result of changes in forecasted export prices and export volumes following future revisions of the Company’s business plans. A sensitivity analysis considering a US$ 10/barrel decrease in Brent prices stress scenario, when compared to the Brent price projections in the Business Plan 2026-2030, would not indicate a reclassification from equity to the statement of income.

A schedule of expected reclassification of cumulative foreign exchange rate losses recognized in other comprehensive income to the statement of income as of March 31, 2026, is set out below:

  2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 onwards Total
Expected realization (5,260) (7,535) (4,478) (3,811) 300 4,022 (16,762)

 

 

b)Derivative financial instruments not designated for hedge accounting

In 2019, Petrobras contracted a cross-currency swap aiming to protect against exposure arising from the 7th issuance of debentures, for IPCA x CDI operations, maturing in September 2029 and September 2034, and for CDI x U.S. Dollar operations, maturing in September 2029.

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 financial institutions, which is not relevant in terms of financial volume, since the Company makes contracts with highly rated banks.

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 was estimated based on the average maturity of these swap contracts, in the scope of the Company’s Risk Management Policy, which resulted in a 554 basis point effect on the estimated interest rate. The effect of this sensitivity analysis, keeping all other variables constant, is shown in the following table:

c)Sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange rate risk on financial instruments

The sensitivity analysis only covers the exchange rate variation and maintains all other variables constant. The probable scenario is referenced on external sources like Focus bulletin and Thomson Reuters, making use of the exchange rate forecast for the end of the following year, as follows:

·U.S. dollar x real - a 3.46% depreciation of the real;
·euro x U.S. dollar - a 4.19% appreciation of the euro;
·pound sterling x U.S. dollar - a 3.15% appreciation of the pound sterling;
·renminbi x U.S. dollar – a 1.62% appreciation of the renminbi.

The reasonably possible scenario has the same references and considers the risk of a 20% depreciation of the closing exchange rate of the quarter against the reference currency, except for assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, when transacted in a currency equivalent to their respective functional currencies.

27.3.2.Risk management of products prices - crude oil and oil products and other commodities

The Company is exposed to commodity price cycles, and it may use derivative instruments to hedge exposures related to prices of products purchased and sold to fulfill operational needs and in specific circumstances depending on business environment analysis and assessment of whether the targets of the Business Plan are being met.

The Company, by use of its assets, positions and market knowledge from its operations in Brazil and abroad, may seek to optimize some of its commercial operations in the international market, with the use of commodity derivatives to manage price risk.

The probable scenario uses market references, used in pricing models for oil, oil products and natural gas markets, and takes into account the closing price of the asset on March 31, 2026. Therefore, no effect is considered arising from outstanding operations in this scenario. The reasonably possible scenario reflects the potential effects on the statement of income from outstanding transactions, considering a variation in the closing price of 20%. 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.

The Company prefers not to use derivative financial instruments to manage the risk of interest rate fluctuations, adopting structural actions that take into account the effects on integrated risk exposure.

In this sensitivity analysis, probable scenario represents the amounts to be disbursed by Petrobras relating to the payment of interest on debts linked to floating rates as of March 31, 2026. The reasonably possible scenario represents the disbursement if there is a 40% change on these rates, keeping all other variables constant.

27.4.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 business plan.

Management believes that its current working capital is sufficient for the Company's present requirements. In the event that the Company presents negative net working capital, management believes it does not compromise the Company's liquidity since Petrobras maintains revolving credit facilities contracted as a liquidity reserve to be used in adverse scenarios (see note 24.5).

Additionally, 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 expected cash flows of finance debt and lease liabilities are presented in notes 24.4 and 25, respectively.

27.5.Credit risk

Credit risk management in Petrobras aims to mitigate risk of not collecting receivables, financial deposits or collateral from third parties or financial institutions through the analysis, granting and management of credit, based on quantitative and qualitative parameters that are appropriate for each market segment in which the Company operates.

28.1.1.Road-use diesel subsidy program

In March 2026, the Company adhered to the economic subsidy program for the commercialization of road-use diesel in Brazil, established by the Provisional Measure No. 1,340/2026, of the Brazilian Federal Government. This program enables partial compensation to road-use diesel producers and importers who proves selling prices charged to distributors equal to or lower than the price determined by the Brazilian Federal Government, following ANP methodology.

The first subsidy calculation period occurred from March 12 to March 31, 2026, with compensation to be made by the last business day of the month following the respective calculation period, provided that documentation is made available to ANP within the prescribed timeframe and no amendments are required. This documentation is intended to evidence tax compliance and the application of commercialized prices in accordance with applicable legislation.

The subsidy corresponds to US$ 0.06 (R$ 0.32) per liter of commercialized road-use diesel. This program is effective from March 12 to December 31, 2026, and may have earlier termination if the budget limit set by the Brazilian Federal Government is reached.

Revenue recognition occurs as road-use diesel is sold and delivered to distributors, and this right is recognized in trade and other receivables.

The Company recognized US$ 142 receivable as of March 31, 2026 related to the first calculation period provided in the program (with US$ 128 revenue, net of PIS and COFINS, as set out in note 4).

28.2.Compensation of key management personnel

The criteria for compensation of members of the Board of Directors and the Board Executive Officers is based on the guidelines established by the Secretariat of Management and Governance of the State-owned Companies (SEST) of the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services, and by the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The total compensation is set out as follows:

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, expenses related to compensation of the board members and executive officers of Petrobras amounted to US$ 3.4 (US$ 2.8 for the same period of 2025).

The compensation of the Advisory Committees to the Board of Directors is separate from the fixed compensation set for the Board Members and, therefore, has not been classified under compensation of Petrobras’ key management personnel.

In accordance with Brazilian regulations applicable to companies controlled by the Brazilian Federal Government, Board members who are also members of the Statutory Audit Committees are only compensated with respect to their Audit Committee duties. The total compensation concerning these members was US$ 65 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 (US$ 91 thousand with tax and social security costs). For the same period of 2025, the total compensation concerning these members was US$ 81 thousand (US$ 96 thousand with tax and social security costs).

On April 16, 2026, the Company’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting set the threshold for the overall compensation for executive officers and board members at US$ 11, R$ 57.22 million, from April 2026 to March 2027 (US$ 8.3, R$ 47.57 million, from April 2025 to March 2026, as approved on April 25, 2024).

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated April 8, 2026, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.

 

Basis for Review Results

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of condensed consolidated interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
