1.Basis of preparation

These interim financial statements present the significant changes in the period, avoiding repetition of certain notes to the financial statements previously reported, and present the consolidated information, considering Management’s understanding that it provides a comprehensive view of the Company’s financial position and operational performance, complemented by certain information of the Parent Company. Hence, this interim financial information should be read together with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, which include the full set of notes.

The consolidated and individual interim financial information of the company was prepared and is presented in accordance with the Technical Pronouncement - CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Statement, as issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) and approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), and related to IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). All relevant information pertaining to the financial reporting, and only such information, has been disclosed and corresponds to the information used by Management in managing the Company.

The initial application of the IFRS accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that became effective on January 1, 2026, as disclosed in note 6.1 to the financial statements of December 31, 2025, had no significant effect on these unaudited condensed consolidated and individual interim financial statements of September 30, 2026.

Financial investments classified as cash equivalents have maturities of up to three months from the date of their acquisition. In Brazil, these financial investments primarily comprise repurchase agreements and investments in funds holding Brazilian Federal Government Bonds, as well as floating rate Bank Deposit Certificates with daily liquidity. Financial investments classified as cash equivalents abroad mainly comprise time deposits, as well as investments with daily liquidity.

3.2.Financial investments

(1) Non-current financial investments are classified in "Other Assets".
       

Financial investments (not classified as cash equivalents) have maturities of more than three months. Financial investments classified as fair value through profit or loss refer mainly to investments in Brazilian Federal Government Bonds (level 1 of the fair value hierarchy). Financial investments classified as amortized cost mainly refer to investments in Brazil in floating rate Bank Deposit Certificates with daily liquidity, with initial maturities between one and two years, and to investments abroad in time deposits and government bonds.

The increase of R$ 12,226 is primarily due to investments (net of redemptions) in Bank Deposit Certificates, amounting to R$ 5,299, and in time deposits, totaling R$ 5,204.

Trade and other receivables are generally classified as measured at amortized cost, except for receivables with final price linked to changes in commodity price after their transfer of control, which are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss, amounting to R$ 5,020 as of September 30, 2026 (R$ 2,213 as of December 31, 2025).

 

The balance of receivables from divestment and Transfer of Rights Agreement is mainly related to the earnout of the Atapu and Sépia fields, totaling R$ 1,561 (R$ 2,191 as of December 31, 2025), from the sale of the Roncador field totaling R$ 349 (R$ 1,464 as of December 31, 2025), the Potiguar cluster totaling R$ 429 (R$ 862 as of December 31, 2025) and the Pampo and Enchova cluster, totaling R$ 440 (R$ 363 as of December 31, 2025).

The reduction in the "Other receivables" balance is mainly related to receipts concerning the Tupi shared reservoir, according to note18.4.

Inventories are presented net of losses to adjust to their net realizable value, which are primarily due to fluctuations in international oil and oil product prices. When incurred, they are recognized in the statement of income as cost of sales and services incurred. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized a R$241 loss within cost of sales, adjusting inventories to net realizable value (a R$ 19 loss within cost of sales in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025).

At September 30, 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 R$ 5,330 (R$ 4,326 on December 31, 2025).

The increase in the inventories in 2026, amounting to R$ 11,106, is primarily attributable to the following items: (i) crude oil, related to higher production, lower sales volumes in both domestic and international markets—when comparing the respective period-end dates—and higher costs related to production taxes on produced oil as well as imported crude oil, reflecting the rise in international price at the time of the inventories formation; and (ii) oil products, resulting from higher acquisition costs for imported products and raw materials (crude oil), also driven by the increase of international prices during the period in which the inventories were accumulated.

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 September 30, 2026, the balance advanced by suppliers, within the scope of the program, is R$ 320 (R$ 733 as of December 31, 2025) and has a payment term from 4 to 92 days and a weighted average term of 52 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 September 30, 2026, the Company has R$ 2,240 (R$ 3,379 as of December 31, 2025) of uncertain tax treatments, provisioned in the statement of financial position, related to the deduction of amounts paid in the basis of calculation of income taxes in Brazil. The reduction in the period is due mainly to the completion of discussions and payment regarding the additional charge levied by the Dutch tax authority on the calculation of Corporate Income Tax (CIT) for the fiscal years 2018 to 2023 on subsidiaries in the Netherlands, resulting from the valuation for tax purposes of platforms and equipment nationalized under the Repetro SPED regime.

In addition, the Company has R$ 28,581 of uncertain tax treatments (R$ 25,151 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 September 30, 2026, the Company has other positions that can be considered as uncertain tax treatments on income taxes amounting to R$ 32,133 (R$ 27,026 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 September 30, 2026, the total amount of uncertain tax treatments amounts to R$ 62,954 (R$ 55,556 as of December 31, 2025), for which Petrobras will continue to defend its position.

13.3.Tax recovery program

In March and April 2026, Petrobras adhered to the Special Program for Installment Payment of Tax Credits (REFIS), instituted by the state of Rio de Janeiro through Complementary Law No. 225/2025, with the objective of settling tax contingencies related to ICMS. Following this adhesion, the Company recognized a R$ 618 expense in the statement of income, within other taxes, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026.

13.4.Export tax on crude oil and diesel

Effective on March 12, 2026, Provisional Measure No. 1,340 established the levy of Export Tax (IE) on exports of crude oil, oils obtained from bituminous minerals, as well as road-use diesel. After this regulation expired on July 9, 2026, taxation on crude oil exports was maintained until December 31, 2026, under Resolutions No. 938, No. 957 and No. 977/2026, issued by the Executive Management Committee of the Chamber of Foreign Trade (Camex), while the tax on exports of road diesel was discontinued.

The Export Tax (IE) is levied on crude oil at a 12% rate, except for the exports destined to the European Union (EU), which are subject to a 6% rate, pursuant to the Interim Trade Agreement between the EU and Southern Common Market (Mercosul).

This tax is non-recoverable but deductible on the tax base of Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) and Social Contribution on Net Income (CSLL). The term for payment of this tax shall be 15 days for road-use diesel and 60 days for crude oil, from the date of registration of the declaration for customs clearance.

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, a R$ 9,970 expense was recognized within other taxes relating to this tax (R$ 4,459 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2026).

13.5.Tax reform

The regulations for the IBS (Tax on Goods and Services - Imposto sobre Bens e Serviços) and the CBS (Contribution on Goods and Services - Contribuição sobre Bens e Serviços), released on April 30, 2026, did not introduce significant changes compared to the provisions set forth in Complementary Laws No. 214/2025 and No. 227/2026.

The Ministry of Finance of Brazil released the CBS rates applicable to transactions involving liquid fuels sold by volume on October 9, 2026, through Ordinance MF No. 3,074, which will be effective in January 2027.

In accordance with the procedures established in Supplementary Law No. 214/2025, the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) is the body responsible for conducting studies aimed at defining the reference tax rates for the new taxes.

On October 28, 2026, the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) concluded its study regarding the CBS tax rate for 2027 (11.3%) and forwarded the results to the Federal Senate, which is tasked with reviewing and subsequently establishing the reference CBS rate. It will be up to the Federal Government, through specific legislation, to set the standard CBS rate to be applied in 2027.

Then, at the current stage of implementation and regulation of the Consumption Tax Reform, the Company believes that there is material uncertainty with respect to rules associated with the new taxes. Thus, there is no effect on these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2026, considering that:

·the elements necessary for the objective identification of IBS and CBS tax rates applicable to all the Company's operations have not yet been published, including the reference rate and the standard rates by federative entity;
·ancillary obligations regarding, among others, the issuance of tax documents, credit utilization, reimbursement procedures, or adoption of specific regimes are not sufficiently detailed; and
·the tax rate for the Selective Tax on mineral goods was published on November 4, 2026, through Provisional Measure No. 1,399, which established a zero rate—on an exceptional and temporary basis—until December 31, 2027. Nevertheless, the regulation of the Selective Tax and the guidelines required for its implementation remain pending, most notably the rules for fulfilling ancillary obligations and the determination of the specific point in time at which the tax is triggered.

Health Care Plan

The health care plan Saúde Petrobras – AMS is managed and run by Petrobras Health Association (Associação Petrobras de Saúde – APS), a nonprofit civil association, and includes prevention and health care programs. The plan offers assistance to all employees, retirees, pensioners and eligible family members, according to the rules of the plan, and to the new collective bargaining agreement (ACT) and is open to new employees.

Benefits are paid by the Company based on the costs incurred by the beneficiaries. The financial participation of the Company and the beneficiaries on the expenses are provided for in the plan rules and in the ACT, currently at 70% by the Company and 30% by the participants.

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 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 on the same date:

  PPSP-R (1) PPSP-NR (1)
Accumulated deficit according to CNPC – Petros Foundation 1,299 649
Ordinary and extraordinary future contributions - sponsor 23,514 6,926
Contributions related to the TFC - sponsor 4,323 3,121

(1) It includes the balance of PPSP-R pre-70 and PPSP-NR pre-70.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

 

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 Amounts in the financial statements 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.

14.2.2Contributions

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the Company contributed a total of R$ 4,786 (R$ 4,403 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025) to the defined benefit plans, reducing the obligation balance, as shown in the table in Note 14.2.1. Additionally, it contributed R$ 1,104 (R$ 976 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025) to the defined contribution component of the PP2 plan and R$8 to the PP3 plan (R$7 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025), which were recognized in the costs and expenses for the period.

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 on bunker oil involving several states; (ii) VAT tax collection related to State Funds involving tax incentives; (iii) claims for alleged non-payment of social security contributions on allowances and bonuses; and (iv) 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; and (iv) 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:

  Consolidated
Non-current liabilities 09.30.2026 12.31.2025

In preparing its unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 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.

In the period from January to September 2026, the R$ 3,672 increase in the provisioned liabilities is mainly due to the following changes:

·R$ 1,802 in the provision for tax-related litigation concerning the collection of ICMS (state value-added tax) linked to state funds, involving tax incentives of Rio de Janeiro state;
·R$ 1,046 in the provision for civil litigation involving contractual matters; and
·R$ 526 in the provision for labor-related lawsuits.

These effects were primarily offset by reductions related to the incidence of ICMS following the Company´s adherence to tax amnesty program, as described in Note 13.3.

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:

  Consolidated
Non-current assets 09.30.2026 12.31.2025

Closing balance 87,715 80,201

During the period from January to September 2026, the Company made judicial deposits (net of reversals) totaling R$ 1,087. Notable among these were tax-related deposits linked to contingencies concerning the collection of PIS and COFINS, arising from tax payments settled with the Federal Government (excluding the payment of fines), amounting to R$ 717; and the collection of ICMS (state value-added tax) related to state funds involving tax incentives of Rio de Janeiro, amounting to R$ 282.

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 R$ 200, 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 September 30, 2026, the balance of production capacity held in guarantee in the NJP is R$ 7,413 (R$ 7,795 as of December 31, 2025).

15.3 Contingent liabilities

The estimates of contingent liabilities are indexed to inflation and updated by applicable interest rates. As of September 30, 2026, estimated contingent liabilities for which the possibility of loss is classified as possible are set out in the following table:

  Consolidated
Nature 09.30.2026 12.31.2025
Tax 125,453 136,375
Labor 10,159 10,244
Civil 75,831 70,276
Environmental and others 8,329 7,673
Total 219,772 224,568
 

 

 

The main contingent liabilities are:

·Tax matters comprising: (i) collection of ICMS involving several states; (ii) income from foreign subsidiaries and associates not included in the computation of taxable income (IRPJ and CSLL); (iii) disapproval of PIS and COFINS tax compensation due to credit disallowance; (iv) collection of PIS and COFINS, resulting from the payment of taxes negotiated with the Brazilian Federal Government, excluding the payment of fines; (v) incidence of social security contributions on the payment of bonuses; and (vi) withholding income tax (IRRF) on remittances for payments of vessel charters.
·Labor matters, comprising several labor claims;
·Civil matters comprising mainly: (i) administrative and legal proceedings challenging an ANP order requiring Petrobras to pay additional special participation fees and royalties (production taxes) with respect to several oil fields, including unitization of deposits and reservoirs; (ii) lawsuits related to contracts; (iii) claims that discuss topics related to pension plans managed by Petros; (iv) fines from regulatory agencies, mainly ANP; and (v) judicial and arbitration proceedings that discuss disposal of assets carried out by Petrobras; and
·Environmental matters comprising mainly: (i) fines related to the Company operations; (ii) fishermen's indemnities; and (iii) indemnities for environmental damages.

During the period from January to September 2026, the decrease in contingent liabilities resulted primarily from the following changes:

·R$ 9,700 related to a favorable decision and the reclassification to "remote loss" of tax disputes involving the reversal of ICMS (state value-added tax) credits;
·R$ 5,976 related to the non-approval of PIS and COFINS (federal social contributions) tax offsets due to the disallowance of credits (which were reclassified to "remote loss") and favorable decision to the Company;
 
41 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 
·R$ 5,574 related to a favorable decision and the reclassification to "remote loss" regarding a tax assessment notice concerning the reversal of ICMS credits on transfers between branches;
·R$ 3,571 related to the transfer of risk in tax-related disputes concerning the collection of ICMS linked to state funds, involving tax incentives granted by the State of Rio de Janeiro;
·R$ 1,804 related to civil litigation involving the sale of assets, mainly transfers to remote loss;
·R$ 1,025 related to tax assessment notices involving special customs regimes, notably, a final, favorable ruling for Petrobras in one of these cases; and
·R$ 1,023 related to tax assessment notices involving the charge of customs-related fines, mainly transfers to remote loss.

These effects were primarily offset by: (i) R$ 12,225 related to tax assessment notices that discuss the non-reversal of ICMS credits arising from the inbound shipment of goods in transactions preceding the outbound sale of fuels; (ii) R$ 3,848 related to administrative and judicial proceedings concerning differences in special participation and royalties across various oil fields, including the unification of oil deposits and reservoirs; and (iii) R$ 3,613 related to civil litigation involving contractual matters; (iv) R$ 2,673 relating to legal proceedings concerning adjustments to the tax base for corporate income tax (IRPJ) and the social contribution on net income (CSLL), as well as the taxation of interest and monetary adjustments applied to deposits; and (v) R$ 1,801 relating to ICMS (state value-added tax) credits claimed on the acquisition of goods that, in the view of the tax authorities, do not qualify as property, plant and equipment.

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. (PIBBV), Petrobras Global Finance B.V. (PGF), Petrobras Oil & Gas B.V. (PO&GBV) 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, PO&GBV and the former CEOs of Petrobras from July 2005 to February 2015; and (ii) prescription of requests formulated in accordance with Spanish legislation.

Petrobras, the Foundation and PGF have appealed against the ruling and previous interim decisions.

On June 30, 2026, the Court of Appeal of The Hague dismissed the appeal filed by the Foundation specifically regarding PIBBV and PGF. This decision does not affect the appeals filed by PGF and Petrobras, nor the Foundation’s remaining appeal against Petrobras, all of which remain pending 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 proceedings 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. On October 8, 2026, the Federal Court of Cassation rejected a new appeal filed by the Association and upheld the first and second instance decisions that recognized the statute of limitations. This decision is still subject to further appeal.

Sapinhoá Shared Reservoir

On March 12, 2026, Petrobras paid R$ 219 to the Brazilian Federal Government, represented by Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A. (PPSA), regarding the signing of the Amendment to the AIP of the Sapinhoá Shared Reservoir, approved by ANP in the third quarter of 2025.

Tupi Shared Reservoir

From January to September 2026, Petrobras received R$ 3,128 from partner companies and paid R$ 624 to the Brazilian Federal Government represented by PPSA, in relation to the equalization process of the Tupi Shared Reservoir.

Berbigão and Sururu shared reservoirs

On April 30, 2026, ANP approved the AIP for the Berbigão and Sururu shared reservoirs, in the Santos Basin, effective as of May 1, 2026. The agreement covers the BM-S-11A concession agreement, operated by Petrobras (42.5%), in partnership with Shell (25%), TotalEnergies (22.5%), and Petrogal (10%), and the transfer of rights agreement, operated by Petrobras (100%).

Following the effectiveness of this AIP, on October 13, 2026, Petrobras entered into Agreements on Expenditure and Volume Equalization (AEGVs) with its partners in this consortium, related to these reservoirs and the respective shared assets.

As a result, Petrobras will be entitled to receive a net amount of US$ 859 million from its partners, which is expected to be settled by November 2026. The corresponding accounts receivable and the related effects on the statement of income will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2026.

18.5 Capitalization rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization

The capitalization rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization was the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings that were outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the capitalization rate was 7.37% p.a. (7.17% p.a. for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025).

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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, net impairment reversals were recognized in the amount of R$ 1,327, mainly arising from:

·the Nitrogen Fertilizer Unit (UFN-III), located in Três Lagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), where the approval to resume the project resulted in the reversal of losses totaling R$ 2,164 due to the estimated positive future cash generation for the asset, leading to an increase in its recoverable amount; and
·the postponement of the resumption of production at the P-52 platform—part of the Roncador field’s Cash-Generating Unit (CGU) in the Campos Basin—from September 2026 to March 2027, which resulted in the recognition of losses totaling R$ 1,165.

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, net impairment losses were recognized in the amount of R$ 976, mainly due to: (i) losses resulting from the economic unfeasibility of blocks C-M-753 and C-M-789, located in the Campos basin (R$ 1,198); (ii) losses related to the contract amendment for the lease of FPSO Cidade de Santos (Uruguá CGU) for the decommissioning of the unit (R$ 459); (iii) losses related to additional financial compensation for the Cherne Cluster following the accident on platform PCH-1 (R$ 319); (iv) losses resulting from the delay in resuming operations at Araucária Nitrogenados S.A. - ANSA (R$ 221); and (v) reversal of losses on the refining and utilities assets of the Boaventura Energy Complex, following project approval and the signing of the main contracts to complete the assets and integrate them with Reduc and Petrobras’ refining and logistics complex (R$ 1,760).

Acquisition of the ring-fence of the Argonauta field in the Campos basin

On April 27, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement for the acquisition of the ring-fence of the Argonauta field (concession BC-10), located in the Campos basin, for the amount of R$ 700, of which R$ 100 will be paid at the closing, and R$ 600 at the closing or on January 15, 2027, whichever occurs later. In addition, two years after closing, the Company will pay US$ 150 million. These amounts are subject to contractual adjustments.

The acquired area corresponds to the Argonauta field, which represents 0.86% of the Jubarte pre-salt layer shared reservoir, which is subject of a Production Individualization Agreement (AIP) effective as of August 1, 2025.

Following the completion of the transaction, the Company's interest in the Jubarte shared reservoir will be increased to 98.11%, with a 1.89% interest remaining under the Brazilian Federal Government ownership. The transaction also closes negotiations related to the equalization of participation and to the individualization of production involving the parties that previously held the area.

The closing of the transaction is subject to the fulfillment of conditions precedent, including approvals by ANP and CADE.

Lightsource Brasil NewCo Holding S.A.

On May 20, 2026, Petrobras acquired 49.99% interest in voting share capital of Lightsource Brasil NewCo Holding S.A., through a capital contribution of R$ 153 to this company, establishing a strategic partnership in the onshore renewable energy business in Brazil, including energy generation from renewable sources and energy storage.

The investment is classified as a joint venture entity, considering the terms established in the Shareholders' Agreement, and is accounted for by the equity method.

23.2.Contingent assets from disposed investments and other transactions

23.3.Other transactions

Signing of new Braskem Shareholders' Agreement

On April 23, 2026, Petrobras sent a notification to Novonor S.A., in judicial recovery, stating its decision not to exercise its preemptive and tag-along rights provided for in the current Shareholders' Agreement of Braskem S.A.

On the same date, the Company signed a new Shareholders' Agreement with Shine I - Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia Responsabilidade Limitada (FIP), establishing joint control of Braskem, including the obligation to obtain consensus in corporate deliberations and equal representation of members on the Board of Directors and Executive Board. This agreement became effective on June 3, 2026, upon completion of the transfer of Novonor shares to the FIP.

Petrobras maintains its 36.15% interest in the share capital of Braskem and 47.03% of its voting share capital.

Considering the terms established in the new Shareholders' Agreement with the FIP, Petrobras' investment in Braskem is no longer classified as an associate, but rather as a joint venture company. The investment continues to be measured using the equity method.

Obligations arising from divestment – TAG

In the scope of the transaction involving the purchase and sale of shares of Transportadora Associada de Gás S.A. (TAG), which occurred in 2019, the parties assumed, as provided for in the agreement, payment obligations related to future determinations of regulatory assumptions, following the expiration of the transportation agreement associated with the Northeast Gas Transportation System.

On October 2, 2026, the ANP Executive Officers deliberated on the determination of regulatory assumptions for the 2026–2030 tariff cycle.

Based on this decision and on the contractual parameters previously mentioned, Petrobras recognized a R$ 3,580 obligation within other current liabilities and within other income and expenses in the period, reflecting the Company’s best estimate as of September 30, 2026, still subject to measurement uncertainties, mainly due to the appeals filed with the ANP concerning the regulatory assumptions.

26.4 Distributions to shareholders

Dividends and interest on capital relating to 2025

On April 16, 2026, the Annual General Shareholders Meeting approved dividends and interest on capital relating to 2025, amounting to R$ 41,236 (R$ 3.19936420 per outstanding share). This amount includes R$ 33,164 anticipated during 2025 (updated by Selic interest rate from the date of each payment to December 31, 2025) and R$ 8,072 of complementary dividends which are accounted for as additional dividends and interest on capital proposed.

The complementary dividends of R$ 8,072, equivalent to R$ 0.62622908 per preferred and common share in circulation, were paid in two equal installments in May and June, 2026, in the form of interest on capital, updated by the Selic rate from December 31, 2025, until the date of each payment.

The interest on capital from the supplementary remuneration for the 2025 fiscal year resulted in a tax credit for income tax and social contribution of R$ 2,744. Withholding income tax was applied to the interest, except for immune and exempt shareholders, as established in current legislation. The tax benefit related to the supplementary interest on capital was 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.

Interim dividends and interest on capital relating to 2026

Petrobras’s Board of Directors approved the distribution of remuneration to shareholders in the amount of R$ 26,410 million (R$ 2.04911534 per outstanding common and preferred shares), based on the interim net income of the first half of 2026, considering the application of the Shareholder Remuneration Policy formula, as presented in the following table:

This interest on capital relating to the first quarter of 2026 was paid in 2 equal installments in August and September 2026, and the dividends and interest on capital relating to the second quarter of 2026 will be paid in 2 equal installments of R$ 8,688 on November 23 and December 21, 2026, and will be offset against shareholder remuneration relating to 2026. The amounts will be adjusted by the SELIC rate from the date of payment of each installment until the end of this fiscal year.

This anticipation of interest on capital generated a tax-deductible expense resulting in a reduction of income tax expense by R$ 6,913. Interest on capital is subject to withholding income tax (IRRF) of 17.5%, except for immune and exempt shareholders, as established in applicable law.

Dividends and interest on capital payable

As of September 30, 2026, the balance of dividends and interest on capital payable to Petrobras shareholders amounting to R$ 15,935 (R$ 11,415 as of December 31, 2025) corresponds to the advance payment of distributions for the second quarter of 2026, net of withholding income tax (IRRF) on interest on capital in the amount of R$1,441.

Unclaimed dividends and interest on capital

As of September 30, 2026, the balance of dividends and interest on capital not claimed by shareholders of Petrobras is R$ 808 (R$ 1,029 on December 31, 2025) recorded as other current liabilities, as described in note 17. The payment of these dividends and interest on capital was not carried out due mainly to the lack of registration data for which the shareholders are responsible with the custodian bank for the Company's shares.

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 effects of derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting are set out as follows:

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 September 30, 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$ 5.1809 exchange rate are set out below:

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized a R$ 295 gain, within foreign exchange rate gains (losses), due to ineffectiveness (a R$ 857 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 66.12%.

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

  Jan-Sep/2026 Jan-Sep/2025
Opening balance (41,222) (98,094)

Reclassified to the statement of income 5,374 9,443
Other comprehensive income (loss) 28,192 67,239
Closing balance (13,030) (30,855)

 

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 September 30, 2026, is set out below:

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PETROBRAS

(Expressed in millions of reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 

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 560-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:

  Consolidated
Financial Instruments Reasonably possible scenario
Swap CDI x USD (73)
 

 

 

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 1.53% depreciation of the real;
·euro x U.S. dollar - a 2.25 % appreciation of the euro;
·pound sterling x U.S. dollar - a 0.71 % appreciation of the pound sterling;
·renminbi x U.S. dollar – a 1.59 % appreciation of the renminbi; and
·renminbi x real – a 3.15 % 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.

27.3.2Risk 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 September 30, 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 positions with commodity derivatives are presented in note 27.2.

27.3.3Interest rate risk management

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.

27.4Liquidity 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 with 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.

In this context, Petrobras' consolidated and individual financial statements, even if they show negative net working capital, do not compromise its liquidity.

In addition, the company maintains committed credit lines (revolving credit facilities) contracted as a liquidity reserve in adverse situations, as per explanatory note 24.5, and regularly assesses market conditions and may carry out repurchase transactions of its securities or those of its subsidiaries in the international capital market, through various means, including repurchase offers, redemptions of securities and/or open market operations, provided that they are in line with the Company's liability management strategy, which aims to improve the amortization profile and the cost of debt.

The expected cash flows related to indebtedness are presented in notes 24.4 and 25, financing and lease liabilities, respectively.

27.5Credit risk

Credit risk management in Petrobras aims to mitigate the 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.

As of September 30, 2026, the financial assets of cash and cash equivalents and of financial investments are not past due nor considered to be credit impaired, presenting fair values ​​that are equivalent to or do not differ significantly from their carrying amounts.

The effect of credit risk assessments on trade receivables is available in notes 9.2 and 9.3, which present expected credit losses.

28.Related party transactions

The Company has a policy for related party transactions, which is annually revised and approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Company’s by-laws.

The related-party transactions policy also aims to ensure an adequate and diligent decision-making process for the Company’s key management.

28.5.1Fuel trading subsidy program

Given the geopolitical situation in the Middle East and its impact on international oil and oil products prices, as of March 2026, the Brazilian Federal Government granted economic subsidies to the trade of road-use diesel, LPG, and gasoline in Brazil, equalizing a portion of the costs of producers and importers, aimed at contributing to stabilize prices and supply of oil products.

Petrobras adhered to these programs, whereby authorized amounts and conditions for receiving subsidies are defined within specific legal and regulatory framework for each product and period.

Subsidy revenue is recognized when the eligible oil products are sold and delivered to customers.

The following table presents subsidy revenue by fuel recognized in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, including their legal instruments:

Report on the review of quarterly information - ITR

(A free translation of the original report in Portuguese, as filed with the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM, prepared in accordance with the Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Reporting and the international accounting standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras

Rio de Janeiro - RJ

 

Introduction

We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras (“the Company”), included in the quarterly information form - ITR for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, which comprises the statement of financial position as of September 30, 2026 and the respective statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods then ended, and statements of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with the CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Financial Reporting and the international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, such as for the presentation of these information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR. Our responsibility is to express our conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on reviews of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

 

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34, applicable to the preparation of quarterly information - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM.

 

 

Other matters - Statements of added value

The quarterly information referred to above includes the individual and consolidated statements of added value (DVA) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, prepared under responsibility of Company’s management, and presented as supplementary information for IAS 34 purposes. These statements were submitted to review procedures carried out together with the review of the Company’s interim financial information to conclude that they are reconciled with interim financial information and accounting records, as applicable, and its form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in CPC 09 (R1) - Statement of Added Value. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that those statements were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria set forth in this Standard with respect to the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
