Operating income for Q1 2013 was ARS 2,533 million, 1.3% higher than for the same period in 2012, mainly due to the fact that stronger incomes slightly exceed increases in purchases of crude and fuel imports and production cost increases.

Operating income in the first quarter of 2013 was ARS 18,634 million, a 25.5% increase compared to Q1 in 2012. This increase was driven mainly by a rise in income from sales of liquid fuel in the domestic market resulting from higher volumes sold (increases of 12.6% in gasoline and 1.9% in diesel) and higher prices (increases of 26.8% in gasoline and 20.9% in diesel). Additionally, there was a substantial boost in the volume of fuel oil marketed locally, which increased from 8 Km3 for Q1 2012 to 129 Km3 for Q1 2013. Moreover, operating income was affected by the positive impact of the price increase achieved for natural gas arising from the implementation of the Incentive Scheme for the Additional Injection of Natural Gas and the adjustment of the Argentine peso-denominated average price for CNG, power plants and industries (thus having a net positive impact on gas sales revenue of ARS 504 million).

Costs of sales for Q1 2013 increased by 33.8% compared to Q1 2012. Purchases increased by 55.7% compared to Q1 2012 mainly as a consequence of the rise in volumes of crude oil purchased from local producers and the increase in volume of diesel and gasoline imported, both with the objective of achieving a greater processing level at refineries (+8.7%) and optimizing internal supply of liquid fuel. Additionally, production costs for Q1 2013 increased by 24.9% compared to Q1 2012 due to increased charges relating to service outsourcing and equipment and facilities rental, crude oil royalties paid as a consequence of higher wellhead prices in pesos, and higher rates on account of recent concession renewals. Finally, we recorded increased amortization (ARS 339 million) relating to higher investment activity, and payroll expenses grew.

Net income for the period was ARS 1,258 million, a 2.8% decrease compared to Q1 2012; mainly as a consequence of the impact of deffered income tax of ARS -481 million.

Total investment in fixed assets for the first quarter of 2013 was ARS 4,282 million, a 100.8% increase compared to Q1 2012. This increased investment stems from a boost in upstream development activities, mainly in unconventional areas, and advances in Downstream projects.

Upstream operating income was ARS 1,872 million, a 11.4% decrease compared to Q1 2012.

This decrease was mainly a consequence of a 25.7% increase in operating costs, partially offset by a 15.5% increase in crude oil and natural gas net revenues. Such increase in operating costs is mainly the result of increased production costs resulting from a tariff revision starting in the second quarter of 2012 and increased activity in construction, repair and maintenance contracting, material procurement and heavier payroll expenses. However, it should be noted that operating costs have recently shown some stabilization, as evidenced by a 7% decrease in Q1 2013 compared to Q4 2012. In turn, increased amortization has been recorded (ARS 311 million) as a result of increased investment activity and higher

royalties, mainly for crude oil (ARS 188 million), on account of a higher Argentine peso-denominated price at wellhead and the impact of higher royalty rates due to the extension of concessions in the province of Santa Cruz.

The dollar-denominated price for crude oil in the local market fell by 1.7% in the first quarter of 2013, down to 68.6 USD/bbl. As for natural gas, the average sales price was 3.73 USD/Mmbtu, a 36.6% increase compared to Q1 2012, mainly due to the effect of the already mentioned agreement entered into in December 2012 to receive 7.5 USD/Mmbtu for additional gas and sales to CNG, power plants and industries segment. Crude oil and LNG production were 226.3 Kbbld and 54.6 Kbbld respectively, 0.7% and 0.2% decreases, respectively, compared to Q1 2012. Natural gas production was 31.4 Mm3d in the first quarter of 2013, 3.7 % below that of the same period in 2012. Thus, total production of hydrocarbons in the first quarter of 2013 was 478.3 Kbped, compared to 487.4 Kbped for Q1 2012. However, the downward trend in production from previous years continues to revert, as evidenced by a 1.1 Kbbld, or 0.5%, daily average growth in Q1 2013 compared to Q4 2012 crude oil production.

Results for Q1 2013 from upstream controlled companies, including mainly YPF Holdings, YPF International and YPF Servicios Petroleros, were ARS -48.3 million compared to ARS +10 million for Q1 2012.

CAPEX

Investments in upstream were ARS 3,654 million in Q1 2013, a 118.5% increase compared to Q1 2012.

As for development activities, investments made in the Neuquina basin, especially in the Loma La Lata, Aguada Toledo Sierra Barrosa and Octógono areas are worth mentioning. On the other hand, in the Golfo San Jorge basin, investments have continued in the Manantiales Behr and El Trébol areas in order to increase the recovery factor of such areas. Finally, special attention should be placed on the activities carried out in the province of Santa Cruz, primarily in the Barranca Baya and Los Perales areas, as well as the progress made in activities carried out in Vizcacheras block in the province of Mendoza.

As for exploration activities in the Neuquina basin during Q1 2013, investments have been made mainly in the areas of Las Tacanas, Pampa de las Yeguas, and Chihuido de la Sierra Negra. Additionally, noteworthy investments were made in the Escalante-El Trébol area in the Golfo San Jorge basin. Finally, investments were made in the Bolsón del Bermejo basin, in the province of La Rioja.

Operating income in downstream for Q1 2013 was ARS 1,210 million, a 13.8% increase compared to ARS 1,063 million for Q1 2012.

This increase was mainly the consequence of increased net sales, which recorded a 23.9% increase compared to Q1 2012. Such increase is primarily due to a higher average price in terms of Argentine pesos for gasoline (+26.8%) and diesel (+20.9%), which accounts for a positive result of ARS 1,936 million, as well as increased volumes marketed of such products compared to Q1 2012, with a +12.6% increase in the case of gasoline (ARS 424 million) and +1.9% increase in the case of diesel (ARS 225 million). Additionally, it is important to mention the revenues achieved due to stronger volumes of fuel oil marketed at slightly higher prices (ARS 305 million), which have been mainly channeled to power generation; higher exported volumes of LPG (resulting in increased revenues of ARS 255 million), and

finally, the rise in exported volumes of flour and seed oil (resulting in increased revenues of ARS 193 million). On the other hand, as for operating costs (which increased 25.5% in Q1 2013), special attention should be given to the increase in average price and volumes of crude oil purchased from other producers for the purpose of optimizing the processing level in refineries as well as increased imports of Eurodiesel and premium gasoline. Additionally, there have been higher repair and maintenance rates as well as higher rates relating to crude oil transport and port facilities use.

Crude processed volumes during the Q1 2013 were 288 Kbped, a 8.7% increase compared to Q1 2012.

Sales of chemical products dropped both in the domestic and external markets, decreasing by 19.5% and 9.1%, respectively, compared to Q1 2012.

The results of Downstream controlled companies for Q1 2013, including mainly OPESSA, ELERAN and YPF Brasil, were ARS 70.6 million, a 44% increase compared to Q1 2012.

CAPEX

Capital expenditures in the Downstream business for Q1 2013 were ARS 596 million, a 41.8% increase compared to Q1 2012. This increase was mainly caused by the progress of the group of multi-annual projects intended to increase our gasoline and diesel production capacity, as well as the quality of such products, such as the implementation of a new coke unit at the La Plata refinery and the executed activities related to the Continuous Catalytic Reformer at our chemical complex in Ensenada.

2.3 CORPORATE AND OTHERS

This business segment involves mainly corporate costs and other activities that are not reported against any of the previously mentioned businesses.

Net costs for the first quarter of 2013 were ARS 549 million, a ARS 128 million decrease compared to Q1 2012. This decrease was mainly caused by decreased charges with respect to environmental liabilities involving YPF Holdings (+ARS 61 million) and to IT licenses (+ARS 190 million), which were partially compensated by higher salaries (-ARS 35 million) and larger losses from the controlled company A-Evangelista S.A (-ARS 133 million) due to lower margins in its services activities.

2.4 RELATED COMPANIES

Results from related companies for Q1 2013 were ARS 3 million lower compared to Q1 2012. Neutral Q1 2013 results were due to positive results from Refinor, Profertil and our stake in Pluspetrol Energy which were offset by negative results from Mega and Inversora and Central Dock Sud.

3. LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

Total financial debt grew from ARS 17,104 million for Q4 2012 to ARS 18,538 million for Q1 2013, while cash and cash equivalents slightly decreased to ARS 4,315 million for Q1 2013, a 9% decrease compared to Q4 2012. The average cost of peso-denominated debt at the end of the first quarter of 2013 was 18.92%, while the average cost of dollar-denominated debt was 5.38%.

During the first quarter of 2013 the issuance of Bond Series XIV, XIII (reopening) and XV stand out. Series XIV was issued for an amount of ARS 300 million, with a maturity of 12 months and a fixed interest rate of 19%; Series XIII was issued for an amount of ARS 500 million and a variable interest rate of BADLAR+279 basis points; and Series XV was issued in the dollar link form (subscribed in pesos at the official exchange rate and repaid in pesos at the official exchange at the time of maturity) for an amount of USD 229.8 million, with a fixed interest rate of 2.5% and a maturity of 21 months.

Since the end of the first quarter, Bond Series XVI, XVII, XVIII and XIX were issued. Series XVI was issued for an amount of ARS 300 million, with a maturity of 12 months and a fixed interest rate of 19%; Series XVII was issued for an amount of ARS 2,250 million, with an average maturity of 78 months and a variable interest rate (BADLAR) plus a spread of 2.25%; Series XVIII was issued in the dollar link form for an amount of USD 61 million, witih a fixed interest rate of 0.1% and a maturity of 24 months; and Series XIX was issued in the dollar link form for an amount of USD 89 million, with a fixed interest rate of 1.29% and a maturity of 48 months.

4. LA PLATA REFINERY INCIDENT UPDATE

On April 2, 2013 our facilities in the La Plata refinery were hit by a severe and unprecedented storm, which caused a fire and consequently affected the Coke A and Topping C units in the refinery. These incidents temporarily affected the crude processing capacity of the refinery, which had to be stopped entirely. Seven days after the event, the processing capacity was restored to about 100 kbbl/d through the commissioning of two distillation units (Topping IV and Topping D). As of the date of this report, technical evaluations are being carried out with the objective to determine both the date of commissioning of Topping C (the Company is using its best efforts for its implementation within 60 days from the date of the incident) as well as the reduced operational capacity as Coke A will not be recovered. Our preliminary estimate is that processing capacity will be approximately 150 kbbl/d with Coke A not in operation. However, a new Coke A facility is already under construction and is expected to be commissioned by 2015. We expect that to compensate for the missing production, we will need to import additional volumes of fuel to continue to satisfy domestic demand.

As of the date of this report, the Company is in the process of assessing the detailed financial and operating impacts of the incident and, consequently, the analysis of any actions needed to adapt our business strategy. In addition we are in the process of gathering the necessary information to give effect to the existing insurance coverage.
