On January 31, 2025, YPF sold its 100% interest in YPF Brasil.
As of December 31, 2023, the Group did not classify assets as held for sale.
11.a) Optimization plan of the conventional Upstream portfolio
11.a.1) Description of the Plan
On February 29, 2024, YPF’s Board of Directors resolved the disposal of certain groups of assets related to the Upstream business segment, mainly mature fields related to the CGU Oil, CGU Gas - Austral Basin and CGU Gas - Neuquina Basin. This disposal of assets related to mature fields, named “Mature Fields Project”, is consistent with the Company’s management plans, which considers that the rationalization of the conventional Upstream portfolio is one of the drivers on which the YPF’s strategy is based, with focus on activities and investments in unconventional fields.
During 2024 and 2025 YPF signed different assignment agreements for 15 groups of assets (46 areas), subject to the fulfillment of agreed closing conditions, including applicable regulatory and provincial approvals. The remaining groups of assets are in negotiations with third parties for their disposal or reversion.
As part of the optimization plan of the conventional Upstream portfolio, on December 11, 2025, YPF’s Board of Directors resolved the disposal of new groups of assets related to 3 areas in the Provinces of Mendoza and Chubut. During January and February 2026 YPF signed assignment agreements for these assets, subject to the fulfillment of agreed closing conditions, including applicable regulatory and provincial approvals.
As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, as mentioned above, the Company has signed assignment agreements for certain groups of assets that are subject to closing conditions mainly related to regulatory and provincial approvals, for which the Company is taking the necessary steps to close; and it is highly probable that these assets will be disposed. In addition, the Company maintains groups of assets as held for sale for which agreements have not yet been signed but continuous in negotiations with third parties for their disposal or reversal. The delay in the fulfillment of the plan for the disposal of mature fields is due to the complexity of the negotiations, which is beyond the Company’s control. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Company considers that the disposal of such assets continues to be highly probable during 2026.

11.a.2) Accounting matters
Considering the YPF’s Board of Directors’ decision dated February 29, 2024, impairment indicators under IAS 36 were evaluated for each group of assets. Accordingly, the Company performed an impairment review separately from its CGU and recognized an impairment charge of property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2023 (see Note 8). The disposal of these groups of assets did not meet the requirements of IFRS 5 to be classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023, therefore these groups of assets were not classified as held for sale as of that date.
In February 2024, after the fulfillment of all the requirements of IFRS 5, the assets were reclassified from the “Property, plant and equipment” line item to the “Assets held for sale” line item and the related provisions for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations and for environmental liabilities and liabilities for concessions to the “Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale” line item as current items in the statement of financial position.
Considering that, after their classification, the assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell (“fair value”), the Company evaluates the changes in fair value, recognizing a profit up to the limit of the impairment loss previously recognized or an impairment loss in addition to that previously recognized for such changes (see Note 2.b.13)). According to mentioned in Note 8, the recoverable amount was defined as future net cash flows discounted at a discount rate after income tax, which as of December 31, 2024 was 15%.
As of December 31, 2024, based on the aforementioned assessment of the changes in the fair value, the Company recognized a loss due to changes in the fair value of assets held for sale of 260, in the “Other net operating results” line item in the statement of comprehensive income, mainly generated by the more pronounced decline of the fields and the lower production than expected due to its performance.
 
Likewise, as of December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a loss due to changes in the fair value of assets held for sale of 240, in the “Other net operating results” line item in the statement of comprehensive income, mainly associated with expenses of various nature arising from the general terms and conditions of the agreement signed with the Province of Santa Cruz and Fomicruz. Additionally, in relation to aforementioned agreement, YPF recognized a liability in the “Liabilities under agreements” line under the “Other liabilities” line item in the statement of financial position related to (i) the execution of an environmental remediation and abandonment program, and (ii) the payment of a compensatory bonus to the Province of Santa Cruz. As of December 31, 2025, the balance of this liability amounts to 375.
On December 11, 2025, considering the YPF’s Board of Directors’ decision on that date and having fulfilled all the requirements of IFRS 5, the assets were reclassified from the “Property, plant and equipment” line item to the “Assets held for sale” line item and the related provisions for hydrocarbon wells abandonment obligations and for environmental liabilities to the “Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale” line item as current items in the statement of financial position. Likewise, as of December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a loss due to changes in the fair value of assets held for sale of 178, in the “Other net operating results” line item in the statement of comprehensive income, associated with the conditions established in the new assignment agreement signed between YPF, San Benito, and PECOM for the assets related to the “Manantiales Behr” exploitation concession.
The carrying amount of the assets held for sale may be adjusted in future periods depending on the results of the disposal process carried out by YPF and the economic consideration to be agreed with third parties for such assets.
Based on the fair value of the groups of assets at the closing date of each of the assignment agreements mentioned in the Note 11.a.1), YPF additionally recognized a gain on the sale of such groups of assets of 192 and 6 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The total consideration agreed includes cash payment of 69 and crude oil deliveries for a period of 4 years as payment in kind. Additionally, the derecognition of the carrying amount of the liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale net of the assets held for sale related to such exploitation concessions was 514 and 110 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Additionally, in relation to the Mature Fields Project, the Company:
 
  -
Recognized a charge for the provision for obsolescence of materials and equipment in the “Other net operating results” line item in the statement of comprehensive income for 231 as of December 31, 2025.
 
  -
Has committed to an optimization plan that involves operating efficiency measures related to the reduction of third party employees directly or indirectly affected to the operation of areas related to certain groups of assets held for disposal. For such concept, the Company recognized a charge for 87 and 266 in the “Provision for operating optimizations” line under “Other operating results, net” line item in the statement of comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
 
  -
In relation to the Company’s own personnel, the Company recognized a charge for severance indemnities of 45 and 63 in the “Provision for severance indemnities” line under “Other operating results, net” line item in the statement of comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
11.b) Aguada del Chañar

The sale price of the transaction agreed by the parties contemplates a sum of 75 and, in addition, CGC will pay on behalf of YPF 80.40% of the investments in the block attributable to YPF’s working interest up to a maximum sum of 372 for a period of 4 years. As of the closing date of the transaction, YPF recognized a gain as a result of the sale of this asset of 19 in the “Other operating results, net” line item in the statement of comprehensive income.
