1. MAIN MILESTONES AND ECONOMIC MAGNITUDES OF THE FULL YEAR 2013 AND FOURTH QUARTER 2013
| Ordinary revenues for 2013 were ARS 90,113 million, a 34.1% increase compared to 2012, primarily as a result of increased sales of gasoline, diesel and natural gas in the domestic market. Revenues for fourth quarter 2013 were ARS 25,294 million, a 34.1% increase compared to fourth quarter 2012. |
| In 2013, recurring operating income was ARS 12,015 million, a 52% increase compared to 2012, primarily as a result of substantially higher operating income from both our Upstream (an increase of 25.3%) and Downstream (an increase of 64.1%) business segments. Operating income for fourth quarter 2013 was ARS 3,820 million, a 106.9% increase compared to fourth quarter 2012. |
| Recurring EBITDA for 2013 was ARS 29,394 million, a 62.8% increase compared to 2012. EBITDA for fourth quarter 2013 was ARS 10,574 million, a 109.8% increase compared to fourth quarter 2012. |
| Recurring net income for 2013 was ARS 5,681 million, a 45.6% increase compared to 2012. Net income for fourth quarter 2013 was ARS 1,918 million, an 88.2% increase compared to fourth quarter 2012. |
| Operating cash flow for 2013 was ARS 20,964, a 21% increase compared to ARS 17,301 million for 2012. |

Consolidated Results Full Year 2013 & Q4 2013 |
| Capex for 2013 was ARS 29,848 million, a 81.1% increase compared to 2012. Capex for fourth quarter 2013 was ARS 11,028 million, a 61.9% increase compared to ARS 6,812 million for fourth quarter 2012. Our largest investments were related to increase development activity in our Upstream business segment, both with respect to production from conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resources, and also progress in projects in our Downstream business segment. |
| Hydrocarbon proved reserves additions in 2013 were 284 Mboe1, consisting of 140 Mbbl of liquids and 144 Mboe of natural gas. Proved reserves increased by 10.6% in 2013, from 979 Mboe to 1,083 Mboe. In 2013, our reserve replacement ratio was 158%. |
| Total hydrocarbon production for 2013 was 493.4 Kboed, a 1.7% increase compared to 2012. This increase in production indicates a continued reversal of the downward trend in production recorded in previous years. Crude oil production for 2013 was 232.3 Kbbld, a 2.2% increase compared to 2012, and natural gas production for 2013 was 33.9 Mm3d, a 1.5% increase compared to 2012. Total hydrocarbon production for fourth quarter 2013 increased by 7.5% compared to fourth quarter 2012; crude oil production for fourth quarter 2013 was 239.3 Kbbld, a 6.3% increase compared to fourth quarter 2012, and natural gas production for fourth quarter 2013 was 35.5 Mm3d, a 10.2% increase compared to fourth quarter 2012. |
| During 2013, we drilled over 100 wells targeting unconventional formations. In fourth quarter 2013, average production from unconventional formations net to YPF was 15.1 Kboed (as from December 2013, only 50% of net production from the Loma Campana field is allocated to YPF). In the Loma Campana field, over 30 wells have been drilled, and 19 drilling and 8 workover rigs are currently in operation. |
| The average utilization rate of our refineries during 2013 was 87%, a 3.5% decrease compared to 2012. This decrease was primarily the result of the unprecedented storm that affected the La Plata refinery during second quarter 2013, which crippled refinery processing levels for that period. The average utilization rate of our refineries for fourth quarter 2013 was 90%, a 2% decrease compared to fourth quarter 2012. |
| In 2013, we issued bonds in the local capital markets for a total principal amount equivalent to approximately ARS 7.6 billion and USD 650 million in the international capital markets. As a result of these issuances, the average debt maturity of the Company was extended to three and a half years (as of December 31, 2013). As of December 31, 2013, 41% of our outstanding debt was denominated in Argentine pesos, and the rest was denominated in US dollars. |
1 | Approximately 6.5 Mboe were transferred to affiliates that we consolidate in our financial statements as a result of YPF Energía Eléctricas working interest in the Ramos field. This working interest was previously owned by Pluspetrol Energy, and is thus included under Equity-accounted Entities Reserves in our consolidated financial statements. |

increase in the price per barrel in Argentine peso terms and a 6.3% increase in production. Natural gas sales revenues for fourth quarter 2013 increased by 92.5% compared to fourth quarter 2012, primarily as a result of a 10.2% increase in production and a 47.5% increase in the average sale price. The Incentive Scheme for Additional Injection of Natural Gas positively impacted sales revenues in the amount of ARS 983 million for fourth quarter 2013.
The dollar-denominated price for crude oil in the local market for fourth quarter 2013 was 74.7 USD/bbl, a 7.8% increase compared to fourth quarter 2012, primarily as a result of increased demand for medanito light crude oil in the local market. The dollar-denominated average sale price of natural gas for fourth quarter 2013 was 4.16 USD/Mmbtu.
Hydrocarbon production for fourth quarter 2013 was 517 Kbped, a 7.5% increase compared to fourth quarter 2012, reflecting the impact of our increased investment in production over the last 21 months. Crude oil production for fourth quarter 2013 was an average of 239.3 Kbbld, natural gas production was an average of 35.5 Mm3d and LNG production was an average of 54.7 Kbbld. Compared to third quarter 2013, crude oil production for fourth quarter 2013 increased by 4.2 Kbbld, or 1.8%, while natural gas production was substantially the same.
Costs for fourth quarter 2013 increased by ARS 3,931 million, or 56%, compared to fourth quarter 2012, primarily as a result of increased amounts and higher charges in Argentine peso terms for contracted services by ARS 765 million. Amortization for fourth quarter 2013 increased by ARS 1,108 million compared to fourth quarter 2012, primarily as a result of increased investment activity and increased value of peso-denominated assets, a ARS 496 million increase crude oil royalties for fourth quarter 2013 compared to fourth quarter 2012 due higher Argentine peso-denominated price at the wellhead, and increased taxes and contributions resulting from a ARS 370 million adjustment attributable to the full year 2013 and a ARS 186 million increase in exploration expenses due to the permanent abandonment of three test wells.
Operating income for fourth quarter 2013 from Upstream related companies, including mainly YPF Holdings, YPF International, YPF Energía Eléctrica (including solely Ramos oil field) and YPF Servicios Petroleros, was ARS 41 million compared to ARS-32 million for fourth quarter 2012.
ANNUAL RESULTS
Upstream recurring operating income for 2013 was ARS 7,179 million, a 25.3% increase compared to 2012. This increase was primarily the result of a price adjustment for crude oil, its equivalent of which in pesos was positively impacted by increased movements in the exchange rate during the year and an increased sale price for natural gas, together with increased production throughout the year. Costs grew primarily as a result of increased amounts and higher charges in Argentine peso terms for contracted services, higher amortization, as a result of increased investment activity and increased value of peso-denominated assets, and higher increase in royalties paid due higher Argentine peso-denominated price at the wellhead and increased production.
Hydrocarbon production for 2013, which amounted to 493.4 Kbped, a 1.7% increase compared to 2012, indicates a continued reversal of the downward trend in production recorded in previous years. Crude oil production for 2013 increased by 2.2%, and gas production for 2013 increased by 1.5%, in each case compared to 2012. As for production from fields where YPF is the operator and accounting for a 100% participation (Secretaría de Energía criteria), crude oil and natural gas production increased by 3.4% and 2.2%, respectively, in 2013 compared to 2012.

CAPEX
Investments in Upstream for fourth quarter 2013 were ARS 8,682 million, a 70.7% increase compared to fourth quarter 2012.
As for development activities, our most significant investments were made in the Neuquina basin, especially in Loma La Lata, in unconventional tight gas development in Lajas, in conventional resources in the Aguada ToledoSierra Barrosa area, and in the Chihuido Sierra Negra and Catriel areas. In the Golfo San Jorge basin, investments have continued in the Manantiales Behr and El Trébol areas in order to increase the recovery factor from such areas. Also, we highlight development activities in the province of Santa Cruz, primarily in Los Perales, Cañadón Seco, Cañadón Yatel, and Cañadón de la Escondida, as well as the progress achieved in the Mendoza Norte blocks in the province of Mendoza. Additionally, development activities have started in Chachahuen area in the province of Mendoza.
In relation to development activity in unconventional areas, during fourth quarter 2013, over 30 wells have been drilled, and 19 drilling and 8 workover rigs are currently in operation. Average production net to YPF totaled 15.1 Kbped for fourth quarter 2013, including 9.5 Kbbld of crude oil, 3 Kbbld of LNG and 0.41 Mm3d of natural gas (as from December 2013, only 50% of net production from the Loma Campana field is allocated to YPF). In December 2013, gross production was 18.9 Kboed.
As regards exploration activities in the Neuquina basin during fourth quarter 2013, investments have been made mainly in the areas of Pampa de Las Yeguas I, Pampa de Las Yeguas II, San Roque, El Manzano, Puesto Cortadera, Aguada Pichana, Loma de La Mina, Chachahuen, Cerro Hamaca and Altiplanicie del Payún; in addition, noteworthy investments were made in the Barranca Yankowsky, Restinga Alí, Cerro Piedra- Cerro Guadal Norte y Manantiales Behr areas in the Golfo de San Jorge basin.
Upstream cumulative investment for 2013 was ARS 24,492 million, a 102.2% increase compared to 2012.
Reserves
Total hydrocarbon proved reserve additions in 2013 were 284 Mboe2, consisting of 140 Mbbl of liquids and 144 Mboe of natural gas. Proved reserves increased by 10.6% in 2013, from 979 Mboe to 1,083 Mboe.
Consequently, our reserve replacement ratio topped 158%, its highest level since the year 2000. Same indicator for natural gas was 185% and for liquids was 137%.
We highlight the reserves additions in Loma La LataAguada Toledo Sierra Barrosa for developing Tight Gas in the Lajas Formation, those related to the extension of concessions in the province of Chubut, in Loma Campana and Loma La Lata Norte associated with the development of Shale Oil of the Vaca Muerta Formation, additions by improvements in production in Magallanes, and in the basins of Golfo San Jorge and Neuquina due to new projects and results in secondary recovery production.
2 | Approximately 6.5 Mboe were transferred to affiliates that we consolidate in our financial statements as a result of YPF Energía Eléctricas working interest in the Ramos field. This working interest was previously owned by Pluspetrol Energy, and is thus included under Equity-accounted Entities Reserves in our consolidated financial statements. |

Operating income in Downstream for fourth quarter 2013 was ARS 2,767 million, a 131.2% increase compared to fourth quarter 2012.
Net sales for fourth quarter 2013 increased by 35.3% compared to fourth quarter 2012, primarily as a result of a 34.7% and 30.6% increase in the average price in terms of Argentine pesos for gasoline and diesel, respectively, resulting in increased income of ARS 1,236 million for gasoline and ARS 2,189 million for diesel. In addition, a ARS 345 million, or 7.1%, increase for fourth quarter 2013 compared to fourth quarter 2012 in the volume of gasoline marketed offset a 1.2% decrease in the volume of diesel sold, the latter having no impact on billing due to the product mix sold. Additionally, net sales were positively impacted by a ARS 349 million increase in exports of flour and seed oil, amounting to ARS 500 million for fourth quarter 2013, and an ARS 453 million increase in local and international fuel oil sales, amounting to ARS 1,296 million for fourth quarter 2013. Sales of petrochemical products for fourth quarter 2013 increased by ARS 310 million compared to fourth quarter 2012, primarily as a result of by higher prices of products marketed.

In fourth quarter 2013, a receivable advance payment corresponding to insurance covering the incident at the La Plata refinery was booked under Other income (expenses), net. The total amount booked was ARS 1,956 million, approximately ARS 1,406 million for material damage affecting the refinery and ARS 550 million for payment on account of loss of income. YPFs claim for such payment was accepted by the insurance company in December 2013. Coverage associated with the loss of income covers a period of compensation which will run until January 16, 2015.
Costs, net of Other income (expenses), net, for fourth quarter 2013 increased by 40.2% compared to fourth quarter 2012. This increase is primarily the result of an ARS 826 million increase in the amount of crude oil purchased from other producers, an ARS 3,266 million increase in the amount of crude oil transferred from Upstream, an ARS 763 million increase in the amount of imports of diesel (mainly Eurodiesel) with higher volumes and at a higher Argentine peso-denominated price, an ARS 291 million increase in the price and volumes of biofuels purchased, and an ARS 181 million increase in amortization. Additionally, repair and maintenance services cost increased. During fourth quarter 2013 an exceptional environmental provision of ARS 287 million was registered.
Processing levels at our refineries decreased by 2% decrease in fourth quarter 2013 compared to fourth quarter 2012, which reflects an almost full recovery from the incident affecting our La Plata refinery in second quarter 2013. The level of crude oil processed in fourth quarter 2013 was 287 Kbbld. The annual average of crude oil processed was 278 Kbbld, 3.5% lower compared to 2012.
Operating income of Downstream controlled companies for fourth quarter 2013, including mainly OPESSA, ELERAN, YPF Inversora Energética, YPF Brazil, YPF Chile and YPF Energía Eléctrica was ARS -19 million, compared to ARS 47 million for fourth quarter 2012.
Annual results
Cumulated operating income for 2013 was ARS 6,721 million, a 64.1% increase compared to 2012. A 31.2% increase in sales was partially offset by a 29.1% increase in costs, mainly due to the higher price of crude oil in Argentine Peso terms and higher imports of diesel. It is worth mentioning that local demand for gasoline and diesel grew by 10% and 1%, respectively, in terms of volume sold. In turn, the average price of gasoline and diesel for 2013 increased by 29.8% and 25.4%, respectively, compared to 2012.
CAPEX
Investment in our Downstream business segment for fourth quarter 2013 was ARS 2,106 million, a 22.1% increase compared to fourth quarter 2012. We focused during fourth quarter 2012 on several long-term projects intended to increase gasoline and diesel production capacity, as well as the quality of such products, including: the implementation of a coke unit at the La Plata refinery, works at industrial complexes to improve our logistics, storage and dispatching facilities and projects with focus on improving safety and the environment.
Cumulative capital expenditures in Downstream for 2013 were ARS 4,903 million, a 15.9% increase compared to 2012.
