MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dear shareholders, employees and business partners of PETROBRAS
This Message has two great goals.
The first of these is to be the first Message of the Board of Directors, through its current President, at the end of the first year of its full term.
Initially this presidency was exercised, during 2015, as an interim and then replacing its holder, who applied a license and then resigned in the course of his term.
Once this interim and replacement cycle was completed, in April 2016, the Board was mandated by the shareholders for a full term of two (2) years, due in April 2018 and, during its first year of office, faced the exchange of the Chairman of the Executive Board.
Mr. Pedro Parente was appointed to be the new Chairman by the controlling shareholder and submitted to the integrity check, in which he was approved, was appointed by the Board. Since then, a partnership has been established with the presidency and the Executive Board, which has carried out a productive and constructive interaction, continuing the high-level work already developed under the chairmanship of Mr. Aldemir Bendine.
As soon as President Pedro Parente took office, he took, among other initiatives, to hold a series of debates aimed at a thorough review of PETROBRAS Strategic Planning; this initiative had the full support of the Board of Directors, which endorsed and supported the election of the 2 (two) main goals of this new Plan, namely:
• seek a considerable reduction of accidents in our facilities and our activities - thereby signaling the greater goal of preserving life and pursuing safe working conditions. Our goals in this respect are ambitious, aiming at a drastic reduction of personal incidents per million hours worked, which has been achieved with a lot of training, intensive improvement of process security and awareness, and
• Significantly reduce the company’s indebtedness and financial leverage. We are not proud to have the largest corporate debt in the oil and gas sector on the planet.
Incidentally, it is recognized that the debt has reached exaggeratedly high levels and corrective measures - such as those recommended in the Strategic Plan - have to be taken to refine it at a level more appropriate to Petrobras’ business. As President Pedro Parente pointed out, in order to achieve the commitment to invest in our main business - oil extraction and fuel industrialization - disinvesting in activities that are not directly related to it is not a choice between valid alternatives, it is a necessity - is one of the main ways, through an active portfolio management, to ensure the necessary resources to deliver the production curve that we have the condition - and obligation - to offer to the market. Another fundamental ingredient to ensure the cash flow that allows us to invest in our activities is formed by technological, exploration, production and/or financial partnerships. The second main objective of this Message is the formal registration of changes in the Company’s governance, of which the current Board is particularly proud. it is important to highlight that, since the very beginning of PETROBRAS activities, in the 1950s, the current

LOGO

Board is the first constituted EXCLUSIVELY by Directors without ties to government bodies. In addition, care was taken in 2015, and preserved the principle in 2016, of composing a multidisciplinary Board - legal operators are there, specialists in financial reporting, accounting and auditing there, investors are there, there is a representative elected by the employees, there is a specialist in oil, gas and deep water, all facets of the life of the company, in short, have specialists and representatives in the Board.
In 2015, after taking office, the Board established or reinforced the mission and Internal Rules of 05 (five) Advisory Committees to the Board itself:
• an Audit Committee, which in 2016 became a Statutory Committee, adhering to the respective requirements of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC);
• a Strategic Affairs Committee;
• a Financial Committee;
• a Nomination, Compensation and Succession Committee; and
• a Safety, Environment and Health Committee.
More recently a Minority Committee has been set up, which has the duty, and the prerogative, to make a prior pronouncement on meeting the company’s interest in the main proposals for transactions with parties related to the Government, its Autarchies and Foundations, which are in charge of Council’s approval.
Each of these Committees is chaired by a member of the Board of Directors. The Statutory Audit Committee is made up of only members of the Board of Directors. In the other Committees, non-Board members who have the knowledge and expertise in the matters within the scope of each Committee participate. In order to give an insight into the intensity of the Committees’ performance, it may be said that in 2016 the Statutory Audit Committee met 29 (twenty-nine) times, the Indication, Compensation and Succession 32 (thirty-two) times, the Safety, Environment and Health Committee (thirteen) times, the Financial 26 (twenty-six) times and the Strategic 21 (twenty-one) times. All this along with 47 (forty-seven) meetings of the Board of Directors, between Ordinary and Extraordinary.
The whistleblower Channel has been greatly improved, and background checks on suppliers count in the thousands; have often been vetoed by indications of people with inadequate skills for decision-making positions, or by suppliers from whom we demand change in positions for better governance.
It is our duty to make accountability of this nature to face specific challenges as well. Two of them deserve registration:
• on the one hand, the extended deadlines to operationalize the divestments will be a direct effect of the imperative decision to abide by the determinations of improvement of transparency in the respective processes, coming from the competent authorities;
• On the other hand, discussions with the DoJ (US Department of Justice, SEC, and our Class Actions defense), as well as different procedures before Brazilian authorities (CVM, TCU, Public Prosecutor, Judiciary), will only ensure final results when such cases are closed, even though Petrobras is a victim in that case and, at no time, has directly or indirectly benefited from the illicit acts.

LOGO

As I said at the beginning, this is the beginning of an “accountability” account in this first year of the current term.
And if we can summarize the understanding of our mission, beyond the safety of human life and the return to investment grade, perhaps the best expression of our task is to contribute to the recovery of the self-esteem of employees, investors and Brazilians in what is your biggest company and we all want it to be the best.

Chairman of the Board of Directors

COMMENTS FROM THE CEO
Dear Shareholders and Investors,
Report is an exercise of reflection, an opportunity to evaluate what has been done and what there is still to do. That gives us this Integrated Reporting, for the first time presented by Petrobras. We put together the annual report, which gives comprehensive information about the company (previously disclosed in the Report of Administration) with the information about sustainability, focusing on the social and environmental dimensions. In these two integrated and complementary documents, we offer the highlights of 2017 and our vision for the future.
We have reached a new moment at Petrobras. We are leaving behind the remnants of the crisis that shook us so much in the recent past and moving forward, with our heads held high, trying to do what is right and necessary. But we also know that there is still much to be done, and we are fully committed to continuing to pursue the goals of our business plan.
Our culture of security is consolidated every day. The total recordable injuries (TRI), which measures the number of accidents per million hours worked, fell, falling from 1.63 in 2016 to 1.08 in 2017, reaching the level of the best companies in the sector. We still want to do more. By 2018, we have the challenge of limiting TRI to 1 accident per million working hours exposed to risk. We have to regret, and we do it with great regret, the fact that we cannot prevent the occurrence of fatal accidents. In 2017, we lost six workers and had one missing. We will continue to use our best efforts to prevent this from happening again.
From the financial point of view, we did an intense debt management job, which allowed us to reduce its size, reduce interest rates and lengthen terms, reconciling our amortization schedule with the maturation time of our projects.
In the operational area, we met our production target for the third consecutive year, confirming the predictability of our projections. In Brazil, our average oil production for the fourth consecutive year reached a record high: it reached the mark of 2.15 million barrels per day in 2017, 0.4% above the result of the previous year.
Regarding our own production of natural gas, we reached, in 2017, the unprecedented volume of 79.6 million cubic meters per day. As a result, our total production in the country reached 2.65 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, 0.9% more than in 2016. This mark constitutes a new record for Petrobras.
We have increased the periodicity in diesel and gasoline price adjustments to make it more market-friendly and smoothed residential LPG readjustments - without loss of profitability for our company - to meet the needs of our consumers. Certainly important lessons for a company

LOGO

that for decades has been a monopolist: operate in a competitive environment and think about its customers.
We have had excellent results in reducing our costs, with the full operation of our new management system, which allows us to execute and follow, with discipline and method, our strategic plan and annual business plan. These plans, for the first time, are consistently integrated, ensuring that the company’s strategic objectives translate into concrete actions and targets to achieve the desired results.
We also continue to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our investments. It is never too much to remember that we operate in a capital-intensive, long-term industry of maturing your investments. The cost reductions and increased effectiveness of our investments have provided continuous decreases in the unit costs of oil extraction and refining, and in the so-called “equilibrium brent”, which is the value of the barrel of oil from which the result net of our exploration and production investments exceed our cost of capital. The “equilibrium brent” of our portfolio had a reduction of US $ 43 / barrel in 2014 to US $ 29 / barrel in 2018.
Under the Partnership and Divestment Program, one of the pillars for the management of our asset portfolio and to guarantee the necessary resources for our investments, the initial public offering of shares held by Petrobras Distribuidora in November 2017 is the most open of capital on the Brazilian stock exchange since 2013, and the strategic partnership with the Norwegian company Statoil, which will provide us with technology to increase the oil recovery rate of our reservoirs.
The changes we have made in our management system and in our decision making processes have made Petrobras a more robust and reliable company, culminating in joining the State Governance Highlight Program and requesting adherence to Level 2 of B3 corporate governance. In addition, we have implemented several actions to strengthen our internal control environment and have succeeded in eliminating all the significant deficiencies and material weaknesses identified in recent years.
And moving forward also means looking at what is to come. One of our key strategies is to prepare the company for a future based on a low carbon economy: what we are doing to reduce emissions, intensify the use of natural gas as a cleaner source of energy, develop new technologies and deepen energy studies renewable energy sources. We voluntarily join the Climate Initiative for Oil and Gas (OGCI), the most important initiative in the sector to reduce emissions.
We recompose our portfolio of oil exploration following a strategy of leveraging value and reducing risk through partnerships. We acquired ten new exploration blocks, adding 11.4 thousand km2, about 17%, to our portfolio, with an investment of R $ 2.9 billion in signing bonus. We will almost double the number of exploratory wells drilled per year, from 15 wells in 2016 and 2017 to 29 wells in the years 2018 to 2022.

LOGO

We are sure we are on the right track. The path of hard work, efficient and competent, which brings virtuous results and generates value for shareholders, employees and the whole society. We are paving a consistent path for the sustainability of our company and we know that this is a continuous work. I underscore, and thank, the commitment of our workforce, which has been tireless for the aforementioned results.
Last but not least, I reaffirm that we do not tolerate any form of fraud or corruption and do not accept the practice of ethical deviations. These are principles of our workforce, the Board of Executive Officers and the Board of Directors, of which we will not depart.
This Report is an attempt to increase transparency and dialogue with our stakeholders. Therefore, I invite everyone to read and to interact with us with suggestions for improvement.
Pedro Parente
CEO

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

PRESENTATION TO SHAREHOLDERS
ITEM I
PROPOSAL FOR A REFORM OF PETROBRAS’ BYLAWS

On 06/30/2016, Law 13303 was enacted, which provides for the legal status of the public company, of the mixed capital company and its subsidiaries, within the scope of the Union, the States, the Federal District and the Municipalities. Art. 91 of said law establishes the period of 24 months, from its enactment, to bring about the necessary adaptations to the provisions of the Law.
On 12/27/2016, Decree No. 8.945/16 was enacted, which regulated Law 13303/16, detailing several of its provisions related to the governance of state-owned enterprises, which requires further amendments to the Bylaws.
On 09/05/2017, the Board of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) approved a new version of the New Market Regulation, which entered into force on 01/02/2018, the purpose of which is to regulate the activities: (i) of B3, as the stock exchange market management entity; and (ii) of the companies, in compliance with the minimum requirements for entry, permanence and exit of the New Market.
On 10/25/2017, the Board of Directors approved the adhesion request of the Company to the special listing segment Level 2. In this sense, adjustments in the Company’s Bylaws have been authorized, with subsequent referral for deliberation of the General Meeting, and the execution of a Participation Agreement on Level 2 with B3 and the Union, as a controlling shareholder, as well as the approval of amendments to the Internal Regulations of the Board of Directors, the Executive Office and the Minority Committee and the Relevant Act or Fact Disclosure Policy and Negotiation of Securities, in order to incorporate additional measures for corporate governance.
On 12/15/2017, the current version of Petrobras’s Bylaws was approved in the Extraordinary General Meeting, and it is fully in compliance with Law no. 13,303/16 and with Decree 8,495/16.
On 01/02/2018, the new Regulation of the New Market entered into force, issued by B3, and the Company opted to adhere to the rules that did not conflict with Level 2 and that there was no impediment to its adoption in order to strengthen the Company’s governance rules.
This way, opportunities for the improvement of the wording of the Bylaws have been identified, in a way to make final adaptations to the arbitration clause necessary to the adhesion to Level 2 of B3, as well as to take the chance to identify improvements related to recent rules of the New Market, approved by B3. Besides, Petrobras’s management found it timely to reinforce the corporate governance of the Company, including the percentage of independent members to the Board of Directors and its selection method, with differentiated quorum for changes in its Bylaws aiming at the exclusion of some rules related to the independence of the Board of Directors, the prediction of alternation of the members of the Board of Directors and the definition of the possibility to pay dividends and interest on its own capital quarterly, in addition to little wording adjustments.
As the amendment of the Bylaws is a matter for the General Shareholders’ Meeting, the proposal is therefore submitted for consideration by the General Meeting, in accordance

iii. Methodology for calculation and adjustment of each of the compensation items
• Salary or Pro-Labore. The monthly fees of the members of the Supervisory Board account for ten percent (10%) of the monthly fees received by the members of the Executive Board, and are approved by the General Meeting, pursuant to articles 145, 152 and 162, par. 3, of the Corporations Act and of Law No. 9292, dated July 12, 1996.
• Others: There is no single methodology for calculation and adjustment for Social Security (INSS) charges, which has a defined rate.
iv. Reasons justifying the compensation breakdown
Law No. 9292, dated July 12, 1996, establishes that the compensation of the members of the Supervisory Board of public-private companies, such as the Company, “shall in no case exceed ten percent of the average monthly compensation of the managers of the corresponding companies”.
Accordingly, in order to calculate the compensation of its Executive Board, as described above, Petrobras takes into account its economic and financial results, as well as the recognition of management efforts and alignment with market practices, and proposes a value that is negotiated with SEST, which is approved by the General Meeting.
v. Existence of members not paid by the issuer and the reasoning for such
Not applicable, since all members of the Supervisory Board are paid.
c. Key performance indicators that are taken into account in determining each compensation item:
Not applicable, since the compensation received by members of the Supervisory Board is fixed, with no related indicator.
d. How compensation is structured to reflect the performance indicators progress:
Not applicable, since the compensation received by members of the Supervisory Board is fixed, with no related indicator.
e. How the compensation policy or practice is aligned with the interests of the Company’s short-, medium- and long-term issuer:
The monthly compensation is paid to the Board Members for the services rendered and is in line with the compensation practices in the market, aligned with both the short-, medium- and long-term interests of the Company.

IV-AUDIT COMMITTEE, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH COMMITTEE, NOMINATION, COMPENSATION AND SUCCESSION COMMITTEE, STRATEGIC COMMITTEE, FINANCIAL COMMITTEE AND MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS COMMITTEE:

a.	Purpose of the compensation policy or practice, informing if the compensation policy has been formally approved, body responsible for its approval, date of approval and, if the issuer discloses the policy, the websites where the document can be searched:

Within the Company, there are six (6) statutory committees related to the Board of Directors, namely, the Audit Committee, the Safety, Environment and Health Committee, the Nomination, Compensation and Succession Committee, the Strategic Committee, and the Minority Shareholders Committee.
The Audit Committee is exclusively comprised of members of the Board of Directors. The Minority Shareholders Committee is comprised of two (2) members of the Board of Directors, appointed by the minority shareholders, and one (1) independent member, who meets the requirements of art. 22, paragraph 1 of Law 13303/2016, chosen by the other members, and may or may not be a member of the Board of Directors. The other committees are comprised of members of the Board of Directors and/or market professionals of well-known experience and technical capacity.
According to the guidance of the Coordination and Governance Secretariat of State Owned Companies, compensation for participation in the Advisory Committees to the Board of Directors shall not be included in the overall compensation of the managers approved at the Meeting.

b. Compensation breakdown, including:
i. description of compensation items and the purposes of each of them
Fees: fixed monthly compensation for members of the Advisory Committees to the Board of
Directors.
ii. What is the proportion of each item in the total compensation
Fees: 100%.
iii. Methodology for calculation and adjustment of each of the compensation items
The monthly fees of the members of the Statutory Audit Committee account for 100% of the monthly fees of the Board Members, in compliance with the provisions of art. 38, § 8 of Decree No.
8945, dated December 27, 2016, and are therefore bound to the adjustment of such fees, as
described above. The members of the Board of Directors who participate in the Statutory Audit Committee shall waive the compensation as a Board Member, as established in art. 38, paragraph 8 of Decree No. 8945, dated December 27, 2016, in any case, complying with the compensation limit established by Law 9292/96.
The monthly fees of the members of other Advisory Committees to the Board of Directors, as a result of their participation in the Committee, account for 50% of the monthly fees of the Board Members, and are therefore related to the adjustment of such fees, as described above. Even with the participation of the members of the Board of Directors in the respective Committees, the compensation limit established by Law 9292/96 would not be exceeded.
iv. Reasons justifying the compensation breakdown
The compensation breakdown is defined by decision of the Board of Directors.
v. Existence of members not paid by the issuer and the reasoning for such
Currently, four members of the Advisory Committees to the Board of Directors have no compensation, since the global amounts to be paid for each member of the Board of Directors as compensation, including pro-labore, direct and indirect benefits, compensation for attendance in committees and others, are limited to the provisions of Law No. 9292, dated 12 of July 1996.

Not applicable, since the compensation received is fixed, with no related indicator.

The compensation of the members of other advisory committees accounts for 50% of the monthly fees of the Board of Directors, as a result of their participation in the Committee.
It should be noted that the global amounts to be paid for each member of the Board of Directors as compensation, including pro-labore, direct and indirect benefits, compensation for attendance in committees and others, are limited to the provisions of Law No. 9292, dated 12 of July 1996.
The monthly fixed compensation is paid to the members of the Advisory Committees to the Board of Directors for the services rendered and is in line with the compensation practices in the market, aligned with both the short-, medium- and long-term interests of the Company.

f.	Existence of compensation supported by subsidiaries, directly or indirectly controlled companies or controllers:

ANNEX II
Management comments about Petrobras financial position
10. Comments from officers
10.1. General financial and equity conditions
The financial information included in this item 10.1, except when expressly noted otherwise, refer to the consolidated financial statements of the Company relating to the financial years ending on 31
December 2015, 2016 and 2017.
a) General financial and equity conditions
The Officers of the Company note that the Company’s financial strategy is focused on the return of net financial leverage and the indicator for the Index of Net Debt/LTM Adjusted EBITDA to an appropriate range, preserving the cost of capital in the lowest possible levels, given the financial environment.
With respect to the equity conditions of the Company, at 31 December 2017, the consolidated net equity was R$ 269,609 million, compared to R$ 252,743 million at 31 December 2016, R$ 257,930 million at 31 December 2015 and R$ 310,722 million on 31 December 2014.
The Officers note that the changes to the net worth of the company described above resulted mostly from the results on the respective periods, the impacts of cash flow hedging on exports, actuarial review on other comprehensive results and the sale of interest in BR Distribuidora without loss of control, recorded as capital transaction.
At 31 December 2017, the net debt of the Company (represented by short- and long-term debt minus the sum of cash and cash equivalents, including federal public bonds, time deposits with maturities of up to three months from the date of purchase, interest-bearing accounts with daily liquidity and other short-term fixed income instruments, other investments on interest-bearing accounts with daily liquidity and other short-term fixed income instruments) was R$ 280,752 million, compared to R$ 314,120 million at 31 December 2016, R$ 392,136 million at 31 December
2015 and R$ 282,089 million on 31 December 2014. The Officers of the Company note that the reduction of the net debt of the Company in relation to the 2016 value resulted mainly from advance payment of part of the debt in foreign currency with funds earned from divestments made and with the funds generated by operating activities, which in turn has impacted the net financial

LOGO

leverage of the Company, represented by the Net Debt / (Net debt + Net Equity), which at 31
December 2017 was 51%, compared to 55% at 31 December 2016, 60% at 31 December 2015 and
48% at 31 December 2014. The Officers of the Company further note that the variation of 3 percentage points in net financial leverage of the Company between 31 December 2014 and 31
December 2017 was due to the reduction of the net equity recorded in the period.
In 2017, the Company presented Adjusted EBITDA of R$ 76,557 million, compared with R$ 88,693 million, R$76,752 million and R$ 59,883 million recorded in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Officers of the Company note that the reduction of 14% in the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA in 2017 was motivated by the agreement to terminate the Class Action in the United States and the enrollment in regularization programs of federal debts. Such a reduction in the Adjusted EBITDA has contributed to the increase of the indicator for Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA Index in 2017, which has changed from 4.71 at 31 December 2014, 5.11 at 31 December 2015, 3.54 at 31 December 2016 to 3.67 at 31 December 2017 (noting that, at 31 December, the nomenclature for the indicator is Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA Index).
At 31 December 2017, the index of current liquidity for the Company (construed as the index obtained by dividing current assets by current liabilities) was 1.89, compared to 1.80 at 31
December 2016, 1.51 at 31 December 2015 and 1.63 at 31 December 2014. The Officers of the Company note that the increase in the liquidity index at 31 December 2017 was mainly due to the higher increase of current assets (7%) compared to the current liabilities (2%) with emphasis on the increase in cash and cash equivalent and bonds and securities in current assets, and the reduction of the current portion of long-term debt classified as current liabilities.
The Officers of the Company note that during 2017, the Company used the funds from the partnership and divestment program, from different sources of loans and financing (ECAs, banking market, capital markets, among others) as well as its operating generation to meet its liquidity needs, to manage liabilities and to undertake the investments described in its Business and Management Plan. For 2018, the Company expects to maintain the same strategy as for 2017.

d) Funding sources for working capital and for investments in noncurrent assets used
The Officers of the Company note that the Company used the funds from the partnership and divestment program, from different sources of loans and financing (ECAs, banking market, capital markets, among others) as well as its operating generation as sources of funding for working capital and for investments in noncurrent assets.
The operating activities from continued operations generated cash flows of R$ 86,467 million in
2017, compared to R$ 89,709 million in 2016 and R$ 86,670 million in 2015.
In 2015, operating cash generation presented a 39% increase compared to 2014, totaling R$ 86,670 million. The main reasons for this increase were higher prices of diesel and gasoline, increase in the volume of crude oil exports, reduction of expenses with government participations and imports of oil and derivatives due to the decline in international prices, in addition to the larger share of national oil in processed load. In 2016, operating cash generation presented a 4% increase compared to 2015, totaling R$ 89,709 million. The main reason for this increase was the higher margins of diesel and gasoline. The operating cash generation of R$ 89,709 million was mainly motivated by higher margins of diesel and gasoline and reduction of expenses with governmental participations in Brazil and with imports. In 2017, operating cash generation presented a 4% decrease compared to 2016, totaling R$ 86,467 million. The main reason for such a reduction was the increase in the value of judicial deposits during the year.

Analysis of the Consolidated Income Statement
2017 Year x 2016 Year

446 million, reflecting the following factors:
Sales Revenue
Sales revenue of R$ 283,695 million, R$ 1,106 million above the year 2016 (R$ 282,589 million), due to:
increased revenue from exports (R$ 12,814 million), mainly due to increased sale of crude oil, as a result of its greater availability because of the retraction in sales of derivatives, as a result of higher placement by importers in the domestic market, as well as by higher prices of crude oil and derivatives, following the increase in international prices;
reduction in revenue from activities abroad (R$ 10,789 million) due to the divestment in
Petrobras Argentina S.A. (PESA) and Petrobras Chile Distribución Ltda (PCD); and retraction in revenue in the domestic market (R$ 919 million), as a consequence of:
i) lower sales volume of derivatives, due to product placement by importers, with highlight for diesel (R$ 7,339 million) and gasoline (R$ 2,610 million);
ii) increased revenue from electrical power (R$ 4,805 million), due to the larger thermoelectric dispatches with increase in PLD, as a result of worsening hydrological conditions;
iii) higher sales volume of natural gas, to meet the increase in thermoelectric dispatches, with higher prices (R$ 2,738 million); and
iv) higher average price of realization of derivatives, highlighting the price adjustments in LPG (R$ 2,059 million), QAV due to increased international prices (R$ 1,146 million) partially offset by reduced prices in diesel (R$ 1,418 million) and gasoline (R$ 396 million).

LOGO

Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold Sales revenue of R$ 192,100 million, R$ 511 million above the year 2016 (R$
192,611 million), due to:
lower depreciation, influenced by the effect of the provision for impairment of assets occurred in 2016;
lower expenses with imports of petroleum and derivatives due to increased share of national processed oil in the refineries and the reduction of the volume of sales of derivatives in the domestic market, and of natural gas as a result of larger share of national gas in the mix of sales;
reduction of costs associated with activities abroad due mainly to the divestment in PESA
and in PCD;
higher expenses with government interests, influenced by increased international prices of commodities, as well as the increased production in the Lula field, which has a higher effective rate of Special Participation; and
higher electrical power expenses, due to the increase in the Price of Liquidation of
Differences (PLD).
Sale Expenses
Sales expenses of (R$ 14,510 million), 5% higher than the year 2016 (R$ 13,825 million), influenced by increased logistical costs through the use of gas pipelines, from the sale of NTS, partially offset by lower provision for doubtful debts of receivables in the electric sector and due to the effect of divestment in PESA and PCD.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses of R$ 9,314 million, 19% lower than those in the 2016 financial year (R$ 11,482 million), as a result of lower expenses with personnel due mainly to the impact of employee dismissal through the 2014/2016 voluntary redundancy program (PIDV) and with administrative services provided by third parties.
Exploratory costs for extraction of oil and natural gas
Exploratory costs for extraction of oil and natural gas of R$ 2,563 million, 58% lower than those for the 2016 financial year (R$ 6,056 million), mainly due to lower expenses with write off of dry wells and/or subcommercial wells (R$ 3,471 million).

LOGO

Tax Expenses
Tax expenses of R$ 5,921 million, R$ 3,465 million higher than those for the year 2016 (R$ 2,456 million), basically as a result of the effect of the accession to the Programs of Regularization of Federal Debts (R$ 2,841 million).
Impairment
Asset impairment loss of R$ 3,862 million, 81% lower than those for the 2016 period (R$ 20,297 million) as detailed in explanatory note 14.
Other operating expenses
Other operating expenses of R$ 17,970 million, 6% higher than those for the year 2016 (R$ 16,925 million), with emphasis on:
higher provision for losses and contingencies with lawsuits (R$ 9,216 million), influenced primarily by the effect resulting from the agreement to terminate the Class Action (R$ 11,198 million), compared with agreements in individual actions in 2016, underway in the United States (R$
1,215 million);
lower positive result related to dismantling areas of R$ 3,771 million;
increased expenses with pension and health plans with beneficiaries, due to the interest on a higher balance of net actuarial obligation (R$ 1,160 million);
lower expenses pursuant to the PIDV (R$ 4,839 million) due to the reversal of part of the provision, resulting from the withdrawal of some participants in the 2017 year (R$ 757 million) compared to the same period of the prior year (R$ 4,082 million);
lower effect of accrued conversion adjustments - CTA - (R$ 3,577 million) resulting from asset divestment, mainly PESA, in 3Q-2016 (R$ 3,627 million), arising out of the exchange rate depreciation, previously recognized in equity;
net earnings from the sale and write-off of assets in the amount of R$ 4,572 million, primarily from the sale of interest in Nova Transportadora do Sudeste (NTS);
lower expenses with unscheduled shutdowns, especially with equipment idleness (R$ 1,460 million); and
higher compensation of funds recovered by Operation Car Wash (R$ 382 million).

LOGO

Net Earnings
Net financial expenses of R$ 31,599 million, 16% higher than the year 2016 (R$ 27,185 million), due to:
negative foreign exchange and monetary variation, higher in R$ 4,677 million, caused by:
negative exchange variation of R$ 2,295 million due to the 13.7%depreciation of the dollar on net passive exposure in euro this year, compared to the positive exchange rate variation of R$
464 million due to the 3.1% appreciation on net passive exposure in the previous year (R$ 2,759 million);
negative exchange variation of R$ 123 million due to the 9.1% depreciation of the dollar on the net active exposure in pounds this year, compared to the positive exchange rate variation of R$
1,422 million due to the 16.5% appreciation on net passive exposure in the previous year (R$
1,545 million);
negative exchange variation of R$ 288 million due to the prevalent appreciation of the Brazilian Real over the course of 2017 on the net average active exposure in dollar, compared to positive exchange rate variation of R$ 621 million due to the 16.5% appreciation of the real on active dollar exposure in the previous year (R$ 909 million);
reduction of passive exposure in real against the euro has generated a positive variation (R$
168 million); and
higher reclassification of accrued exchange variation in equity for the result due to exports hedged in the context of hedge accounting (R$ 132 million).
decrease of R$ 263 million in net financial expenses, with highlight for:
decrease in expenses with financing (R$ 3,384 million) due to pre-payments; and
charges arising from accession to the programs of regularization of federal debts in the period
(R$ 2,693 million).
Results of interests in investments
Positive result of interest in investments of R$ 2,149 million, due mainly to the better result presented by invested companies, compared to the negative result assessed in the year 2016 (R$
629 million) which was impacted by Braskem’s leniency agreement (R$ 1,035 million) and the negative result of Guarani S/A, whose full interest was effectively sold in Feb/2017.

LOGO

Income tax and social contribution
Income tax and social contribution expenses of R$ 5,797 million, R$ 3,455 million higher than those assessed in the year 2016 (R$ 2,342 million) due, mainly, to the effects of the accession to the programs of regularization of federal debts, combined with the results in periods (see explanatory note 21.6).
2016 Year x 2015 Year
The Officers note that the company presented loss attributable to Petrobras shareholders of R$
14,824 million, reflecting the following factors:
Sales Revenue
sales revenue of R$ 282,589 million, 12% lower than the 2015 period (R$ 321,638 million), due to:
Reduction in revenues in the domestic market (R$ 25,057 million) as a result of the lower level of economic activity in Brazil, a consequence of:
i) lower revenue from derivatives (R$ 13,471 million) due to the 8% reduction in sales, mainly diesel, as a result of the decline in consumption, and fuel oil due to lower thermal generation, as well as due to lower average prices of QAV and NAFTA, partially offset by higher average prices of diesel and gasoline;
ii) reduction in electrical power revenues (R$ 6,061 million) mainly from generation, as a result of improvement to hydrological conditions; and
iii) lower revenue from natural gas (R$ 5,604 million) due to the reduced demand from the sector thermoelectric sector and lower prices.
Lower revenue from activities abroad (R$ 10,552 million) as a result of the sale of PESA, as well as the reduction of the sales prices of oil and derivatives; and
Reduction in revenues from exports (R$ 3,269 million) due to lower prices of oil and derivatives, following the decline in international prices, partially offset by the higher volume exported, mainly in oil due to the lower demand from the domestic market, combined with increased domestic production.

LOGO

Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold of R$ 192,611 million, 14% below the year 2015 (R$ 223,062 million), due to:
lower expenses with imports of natural gas, oil and derivatives, due to lower demand from the domestic market and the effect of the 17% reduction in the price of Brent, partially offset by the 4% depreciation of the average rate of the Brazilian real against the dollar on the costs of acquisition;
lower costs with government interests in Brazil, influenced by the reduction of international oil prices;
reduction of costs associated with activities abroad due to the sale of PESA, as well as retraction of international oil prices; and
reduction of energy expenses, due to lower thermoelectric demand.
These effects were partially offset by higher oil production costs, influenced by the increase in depreciation, as a result of the reduction in reserve estimates (produced units method) mitigated by a lower balance of assets due to impairment losses recognized in 2015 and in September 2016.
Sale expenses
Sales expenses of R$ 13,825 million, 13% lower than those in the year 2015 (R$ 15,893 million), due to lower provisions for losses on doubtful accounts, mainly related to the receivables from the electricity sector, and reduction in freight costs, as a result of the lower volume of sales in the domestic market.
Tax expenses
Tax expenses of R$ 2,456 million, 73% lower than those in 2015 (R$ 9,238 million), due mainly to ascension, in 2015, to the Tax Recovery Program - REFIS (R$ 5,090 million) and State Tax Amnesties (R$ 1,046 million).
Impairment
Asset impairment of R$ 20,297 million, 57% lower than those for the 2015 period (R$ 47,676 million)
as detailed in explanatory note 14 of the financial statements at 31 December 2016.

Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses of R$ 16,925 million, 9% lower than those for the year 2015 (R$ 18,638 million), with emphasis on:
positive effect related to the revision of the provision of abandonment liabilities, as a result of increase in the discount rate and the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar (R$
5,414 million);
gross earnings assessed in sales of interest in exploratory block BM-S-8 - Carcará (R$ 2,947 million) and Petrobras Argentina - PESA (R$ 673 million);
reversal of contingency filed by Triunfo Agro Industrial S/A and other cooperatives, in the amount of R$ 1,378 million, as a result of the favorable decision on the termination action filed by the company, confirmed in at the appeals levels;
lower expenses with the return of fields to ANP and canceled projects (R$ 1,021 million);
Accrued conversion adjustments - CTA - for PESA (R$ 3,627 million) and Petrobras Nansei (R$ 66 million), resulting from exchange devaluation (peso and yen, respectively) previously recognized in equity as accrued conversion adjustment;
higher expenses with the new Voluntary Redundancy Program (R$ 3,665 million); and
increased expenses from unscheduled shutdowns (R$ 2,404 million) with prominence for drilling rig idleness.
Net Earnings
Net financial expenses of R$ 27,185 million, 3% lower than the 2015 period (R$ 28,041 million), due to:
Negative foreign exchange and monetary variation in R$ 4,716 million, caused by:
- exchange variance of real on net passive exposure in dollar, positive in R$ 3,711 million, resulting from the 16.5% appreciation of the real and net of reclassification of accrued exchange variance in equity for the result due to the execution of hedged exports in the context of hedge accounting;
- lower negative exchange variance of the real in relation to the euro, due to the reduction of net passive exposure in that currency (R$ 1,930 million);
- higher positive exchange variance of the dollar on passive exposure in pounds, resulting from the 16.5% appreciation of the dollar in 2016, compared to the 4.9% appreciation in

LOGO

2015 (R$ 985 million); and
- lower positive exchange variance of the dollar on passive exposure in euro, due to the
3.1% appreciation of the dollar in 2016, compared to the 10.4% appreciation of the dollar in 2015 (R$ 1,580 million).
Increase of R$ 2,631 million in financial expenses, reflecting:
- higher average indebtedness, resulting from the depreciation of the average rate of the real against the dollar, net of capitalized financial charges (R$ 3,739 million); and
- increased interest update on abandonment liabilities (R$ 1,539 million).
Those effects were partially offset by the recognition of financial charges on the ascension to the Tax Recovery Program - Refis of R$ 2,527 million in 2015.
Lower financial revenue due, mainly, to the lower average balance invested, as well as lower gains from derivatives in commercial operations (R$ 1,229 million).
Income tax and social contribution expenses
Expenses of income and social contribution taxes of R$ 2,342 million (R$ 6,058 million revenue in
2015), due mainly to the effect of differentiated tax rates abroad and in taxation in Brazil of the profit of companies abroad, combined with the results recorded in the periods.
Participation of non-controlling shareholders
Participation of non-controlling shareholders with negative result of R$ 1,779 million (positive result of R$ 335 million in the 2015 period), due mainly to the foreign exchange effect on the indebtedness in dollars of the entities structured in the respective periods.

Analysis of the Consolidated Income Statement
2015 Year x 2014 Year
The Officers of the Company note that the Company presented losses of R$ 34,836 million, as a consequence of the following factors:
Sales Revenue
Sales revenue of R$ 321,638 million, 5% lower (R$ 15,622 million), influenced by:
• Reduced demand for derivatives in the domestic market (9%) due to the lower level of economic activity;
• Lower prices of oil and derivatives exports;
• Decreased price of naphtha, QAV and fuel oil in the domestic market;
• Higher prices for diesel and petrol, as a result of the adjustments that occurred in November
2014 and September 2015; and
• Increase of 55% in export oil volume due to the increase in national production (5%) and the lower load processed in refineries (6%).
Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold of R$ 223,062 million, 13% lower (R$ 33,761 million), due to:
• Lower unit costs with imports and government interests;
• Reduced demand for derivatives in the domestic market, causing less processing of imported oil and lower share of imported products in the mix of sales; and
• Increased costs with depreciation.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses presented an increase of R$ 9,208 million, mainly as a result of:

LOGO

• Taxes: Increase in tax expenses as a result of ascension to the Special Installment Program for
Tax Debts - REFIS and to State Amnesty Programs (R$ 7,437 million);
• Impairment: Higher impairment of assets (R$ 3,040 million). For more information on
Impairment, see the comments on significant changes in fixed assets (2015 X 2014).
• Other operating expenses: Increase of 53% (R$ 6,431 million), due mainly to:
- Higher expenses with legal contingencies, especially with tax and labor lawsuits (R$
5,103 million); and
- Higher expenses with pension and health plans for beneficiaries due to the 2014 actuarial review, which resulted in a higher balance of net actuarial obligation, particularly as a result of the decrease in the real interest rate (R$ 1,352 million).
Net Earnings
Net financial expenses of R$ 28,041 million, higher by R$ 24,141 million, due to:
• Increase in interest expenses (R$ 12,290 million), as a result of:
i. Higher indebtedness (R$ 7,118 million);
ii. Lower capitalization caused by the reduction of the balance of assets under construction (R$ 2,590 million), as a result of the completion of relevant projects throughout 2014, as well as the write-off and impairment of assets in December 2014; and
iii. Interest on tax expenses due to the ascension to the REFIS for the tax on financial transactions - IOF (R$ 1,410 million) and withholding income tax - IRRF (R$ 1,074 million);
• Exchange loss of R$ 9,240 million arising from the 47.0% depreciation of the real on the net average passive exposure in dollar (13.4% exchange depreciation in the year 2014), already considered for the purposes of hedge accounting; and
• Exchange loss of R$ 2,100 million arising from the 31.7% depreciation of the real on net passive exposure in euro (0.02% exchange depreciation in the year 2014).

Analysis of Consolidated Asset
2017 x 2016
The Officers of the Company note the main variations in consolidated assets, as described below:
Cash and cash equivalent
The main reasons for the increase, in the amount of R$ 5,386 million, were the operating cash generation of R$ 86,467 million, inflows of R$ 86,467 million, receivables from the sale of assets and interests of R$ 14,813 million, with main applications related to fulfilling debt service, including pre- payments, in a total of R$ 137,386 million, in addition to financing investments in business segments, in the amount of R$ 43,614 million.
Securities - Current and Noncurrent
The increase in the value of R$ 3,599 million, occurred due to the investment of R$ 2,015 million in
British treasury bonds with maturities in March 2018 (GBP 475 million), in addition to the value of R$
505 million relating to securities equivalent to 24 million common shares issued by São Martinho in replacement of and in proportion to the Nova Fronteira stock held by Petrobras Biocombustĺvel S.A.
Accounts receivable, net - Current and Noncurrent
The increase of R$ 3,191 million in accounts receivable is mainly due to the recognition of R$ 2,885 million referring to the portion of the sale of the NTS (US$ 850 million), including monetary updating of R$ 231 million.
Inventories
The increase of R$ 459 million is due, mainly, to the largest inventory of oil and derivatives, as a result of the effect of international prices on the average price of reference (PMR). This effect was partially offset by increased exports volume of oil and the lower volume of imports of derivatives.
Assets classified as held for sale / Liabilities associated with assets classified as held for sale
The balance refers mainly to the assets and liabilities transferred by the approval of the sale, for Liquigás, PetroquĺmicaSuape and Citepe, transfer of concession rights for the areas known as Iara and Lapa and Thermoelectric Plants Rômulo Almeida and Celso Furtado, 25% in the Roncador field

LOGO

and full participation in the Azulão field. In relation to 2017, the sale of investments in Petrobras
Chile Distribución (PCD), NTS, Guarani and Nova Fronteira were completed.
Escrow deposits
The increase of R$ 5,433 million refers primarily to judicial deposits in the amount of R$ 5,155 million arising from the unfavorable decision issued by the Federal Regional Court of Rio de Janeiro in October 2017, which understood that the consignments for payment of charter, in the period from 1999 to 2002, were subject to IRRF.
Deferred Income Tax and Social Contribution (Net - Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities)
The reduction of R$ 5,765 million was mainly due to the value of R$ 5,705 million, for the decrease of definitive temporary differences with exchange rate variation, due to the higher level of execution in the period, as a result of the relevant amortization of financing abroad.
Investment
The increase of R$ 2,606 million is a result of the following movements: Equity equivalence income of R$ 2,149 million;
Investment in the company NTS came to be considered as investment in related company,
incurring in accounting in R$ 1,150 million, including the remeasuring of the investment;
Other comprehensive results, due to the effect of the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar on hedge accounting of cash flow at Braskem, in the value of R$ 410 million.
These effects were partially offset by the receipt of dividends in the amount of R$ 1,361 million.

LOGO

Property, plant and equipment
The reduction of R$ 12,481 million is mainly due to the following events: Depreciation, amortization and depletion, amounting to R$41,891 million;
Impairment in the amount of R$ 8,248 million, with emphasis on:
- Oil and gas production fields in Brazil, in the amount of R$ 2,803 million, related, predominantly, to the CGUs Piranema, Salgo, Polo Ceará Mar, Polo Cvit, Polo Miranga, Polo Fazenda Belém, Frade, Dom João e Candeias;
- Equipment and facilities linked to oil and gas production activities and drilling of wells, in the value of R$ 1,178 million; and
- 2nd RNEST production line, in the amount of R$ 1,507 million.
These effects were partially offset by:
• Investments intended mainly for the development of oil and natural gas fields, primarily in the Santos Basin pre-salt hub, with emphasis on the fields of Lula, Búzios, Atapu and Libra. In E&P, investments were also made in the maintenance of production of mature fields and in improving the operational efficiency of production, especially in assets in the Campos Basin. In relation to the offload and treatment infrastructure for natural gas, investments were made in the construction and expansion of gas pipeline capacity (Routes 1, 2 and 3) and natural gas processing units, aiming to meet the production of the Santos Basin pre-salt layer hub (R$
39,056 million);
• Constitution/revision of estimates of dismantling of areas, amounting to R$14,617 million, which resulted mainly from the reduction in the risk-adjusted discount rate of 7.42% per year in
2016 to 5.11% per year in 2017, due to the improvement in the perception of market risk in the country, as well as by the anticipation of the abandonment schedule in some projects; and
• Reversal of losses recognized in previous periods, mainly concerning the Cash Generating Unit (UGC) Polo Norte, located in the Campos Basin, offset by losses related predominantly to the UGCs fields of Piranema, Salgo, Polo Ceará Mar, Polo Cvit, Polo Miranga, Polo Fazenda Belém, Frade, Dom João e Candeias.

Intangible
The reduction of R$ 2,923 million is a result mainly of:
• Transfers to Fixed Asset of part of the value of the signature bonus in the amount of R$
5,240 million, according to the declaration of commerciality of the field of Mero; and
• Additions concerning the signature bonus:
- Seven blocks in the 14th Bidding Round in the concession scheme, whereas six are offshore and one is onshore, amounting to 1,798 million. The company will be the operator in the seven blocks. In the offshore blocks, Petrobras will hold 50% interest, in partnership with ExxonMobil which holds the other 50%. In the onshore block, Petrobras will hold 100% interest; and
- Three offshore blocks in the 2nd and 3rd Bidding Rounds under the Production Sharing Scheme, in the value of R$ 1,140 million, in partnership with Shell, British Petroleum (BP), Repsol, CNODC Brasil Petróleo e Gás Ltda.
Analysis of Consolidated Asset
2016 x 2015
The Officers of the Company note the main variations in consolidated assets, as described below:
Cash and cash equivalents / Bonds and securities
The main reasons for the R$ 28,737 reduction of the balance of cash and cash equivalents were the fulfillment of debt service in the period, totaling a net disbursement of R$ 131,235 million and financing of investments in the business area in the amount of R$ 40,064 million. These

LOGO

funds were partially provided by an operating cash generation of R$ 89,709 million and inflows of R$ 64,786 million. The balance of cash and cash equivalents was impacted negatively in R$
11,656 million due to the effect of foreign exchange variance in investments abroad.
Accounts receivable, net - Current and Noncurrent
The reduction of R$ 6,611 million in accounts receivable is basically due to:
lower sales on the domestic market (R$ 3,593 million):
- electrical sector, due to reduced demand arising from better hydrological conditions (R$ 2,579 million);
- distribution of derivatives (R$ 619 million) and sale of natural gas (R$ 395 million)
due to declines in demand;
reduction in R$ 1,482 million, due to divestments, the sale of Petrobras Argentina-PESA (R$ 615 million);
transfer to assets held for sale (R$ 667 million) relating to the assets Chile, Liquigás, PetroquĺmicaSuape and Citepe; and
the effect of the accrued conversion adjustment of R$ 1,516 million, resulting from the
16.5% appreciation of the real over the dollar on receivables from clients abroad.
Inventories
The reduction in the value of inventories, in the amount of R$ 1,435 million, is mainly a picture of the smaller volumes of imported derivatives and oil at refineries and terminals (R$ 571 million) and smaller inventories from the sale of assets in Argentina (PESA R$ 532 million) and Japan (R$ 333 million).

The balance refers mainly to the assets and liabilities transferred by sale of Petrobras Chile Distribución LTDA (PCD), a Nova Transportadora do Sudeste, Liquigás, PetroquĺmicaSuape and Citepe, Guarani S.A, Nove Fronteira, transfer of rights in the concession areas called Iara and Lapa and 50% interest in UTE Termobahia (UTEs Rômulo Almeida and Celso Furtado), which at
31 December 2016 had not been completed.

LOGO

Escrow deposits
The increase of R$ 3,274 million is a result mainly of:
new deposits during the year in the amount of R$ 2,413 million, with emphasis on the deposits for ANP in the amount of R$ 727 million, lawsuits for the collection of ICMS over the difference of inventory by the State of Amazonas in the value of R$ 856 million, lawsuits on ICMS in the state of Rio de Janeiro to the value of R$ 260 million and several deposits related to labor lawsuits in the amount of R$ 290 million; and
monetary updating of R$ 583 million.
Advance payment to suppliers - noncurrent
The reduction of R$ 2,653 million refers mainly to:
transfers to fixed asset (R$ 1,793 million);
write-off to income of the advances paid to shipyards Ecovix and Enseada for the construction of hulls for production units - FPSOs (R$ 1,256 million); and
Accrued conversion adjustment from the effect of the 16.54% appreciation of the real against the dollar on advance payment to suppliers abroad (R$ 1,033 million).
These effects were partially offset by new advances (R$ 1,976 million).
Deferred Income Tax and Social Contribution
The reduction of R$ 9,452 million is mainly a result of:
Appreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar, which due to the assessment of taxes by the cash flow regime generated a reduction of R$18,560 million of deferred tax on exchange rate variation, offset by;
Increase of R$ 4,971 million due to provisions for benefits granted to employees, mainly due to resizing of actuarial liabilities;
Increase of R$ 1,152 million due to the increase of provisions for legal proceedings; Increase of R$ 1,036 million from various activities associated with fixed asset, such as
for example, prospection cost, dismantling of areas, accelerated depreciation, depreciation
per unit produced, depreciation of assets with impairment, provision for asset write-off, among others;
Increase of R$ 997 million from other factors, with emphasis mainly on the provision for losses on investments of R$ 526 million (PetroquĺmicaSuape/Citepe and UEG Araucária).

LOGO

Investment
The reduction of R$ 3,824 million is basically due to transfers to assets held for sale of corporate interests (R$ 1,233 million) and proposed dividends from affiliated companies in the amount of R$ 1,403 million.
Property, plant and equipment
The reduction of R$ 57,955 million is mainly due to the following events:
Increase in the depreciation per unit produced due to the effect of the reduction of reserves at 31 December 2015, with impact throughout the year 2016;
Accrued conversion adjustment from the effect of the 16.9% appreciation of the real against the dollar on assets of companies abroad, particularly PNBV and PIBBV (R$ 24,387 million);
Impairment of assets amounting to US$ 18,682 million;
Assets transferred to assets held for sale in the amount of R$14,409 million;
Higher write-off of dry wells and/or subcommercial wells, mainly within Petrobras (R$
5,210 million).
The effects above were offset by:
Additions 32% lower to Fixed Assets carried out throughout 2015 due to the reduction in the volume of company investments as defined in the 2017-2021 PNG; and
Capitalized interest referring to expansion projects, mainly within Petrobras (R$ 4,470 million) where 34% of the base of capitalization is concentrated in the Santos Basin and in PNBV (R$ 1,406 million).
On impairment, we highlight:
Oil and gas production fields of in Brazil (R$ 7,381 million), related predominantly to the fields in Polo Norte, Polo Ceará Mar, Guaricema, Bijupirá e Salema, Dourado, Maromba, Trilha, Papa-Terra, Pampo, Frade, Polo Uruguá, Badejo, Bicudo, Riachuelo, Fazenda Bálsamo e Polo Água Grande, due to the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar, revision of price assumptions, annual review of provision for dismantling areas, as well as the increase in the increase in the discount rate resulting mainly from the higher risk premium for Brazil. In addition, there is a reversal of Polo Centro Sul, due to the redesign of the operations of fields, provided for in the PNG 2017 - 2021 Business Plan and Management;

LOGO

Equipment linked to the activity of oil and gas production and drilling of wells in Brazil (R$ 2,772 million), essentially due to uncertainties about the continuity of the construction of the hulls of FPSOs P-71, P-72 and P-73, in the amount of R$ 1,925, referring to the balance of these assets;
2nd production ling of the Abreu e Lima Refinery (R$ 2,531 million), essentially due to increased discount rate and postponement of the expected cash inflow for the project to 2023 considering the completion of the work using own funds, provided for in the PNG 2017-2021
Business Plan and Management;
Suape Petrochemical Complex (R$ 2,011 million), due to the reduction of market projections and appreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar. In addition, a loss in the amount of R$ 1,434 million was assessed, caused by the difference between the accounting value of the sale of investments adjusted by the value of the financial debt to be settled; and
Comperj (R$ 1,315 million), due to the revaluation of the project in the second quarter of 2016, which maintained its units postponed until December 2020 (Production Unit 1), with efforts to seek partners in order to continue with investments. The facilities of production line
1 of the refinery which will also service the Natural Gas Processing Unit (UPGN) remain in
progress, because they are part of the infrastructure required for natural gas offloading and processing in the Santos Basin pre-salt layer hub.

Analysis of Consolidated Asset
2015 x 2014
The Officers of the Company note the main variations in consolidated assets, as described below:
Cash and cash equivalents / Bonds and securities
The increase of R$ 31,890 million was provided for primarily by:
• Operating cash generation of R$ 86,407 million;
• Raising of R$ 56,158 million in the period through cooperation agreements signed with China Development (CBD), the issue of Global Notes with maturities of 100 years lus bilateral credits with Brazilian banks; and
• Effect of exchange rate variance on cash balance and financial investments of subsidiaries abroad, amounting to R$ 23,608 million.
The main uses of cash were related to the amortization of principal and interest, amounting to
R$ 70,592 million, 87% higher than the values recorded in the year ended at 31 December
2014, and by investments in business areas, amounting to R$ 70,781 million, mainly in the exploration and production area.
Trades receivable, net – Current
The increase of R$ 1,492 million is derived from the receivables of the electric sector (an increase of R$ 1,683 million, net of constitution of provisions for doubtful debts) and the foreign exchange effect in the amount of R$ 1,666 million on accounts receivable abroad, due to the 47% depreciation of the real against the dollar in 2015. These effects were offset by the reduction of R$ 517 million in receivables in exploration and production partnerships, reduction of R$ 393 million due to the decrease in the activities at the refinery in Japan (NSS), reduction of R$ 320 million due to the alteration in the flow of accounts receivable from Petrobras Argentina and by reduced demand for derivatives in the domestic market as a result of the lower level of economic activity.
Inventories
The reduction in the value of inventories, in the amount of R$ 1,400 million, results mainly from:
• Lower volume of imported inventories stored in the refineries;

LOGO

• Lower costs with imports of derivatives, due to the effect of reduction of international prices on the costs of acquisition and government interests; and
• Lower volume of derivatives produced by refineries.
Other current assets
The R$ 2,087 million variation is due mainly to the increase of R$ 1,461 million in advance expenses with lease and charter of platforms and equipment, in addition to deposits in guarantee/lien, in the amount of R$ 678 million.
Assets classified as held for sale
The increase relates mainly to the annual review of provision for abandonment of the fields of
Bijupirá and Salema, in the amount of R$ 488 million.
Trades receivable, net – Noncurrent
The increase in the amount of R$ 1,493 million, refers to the exchange rate effect on the accounts receivable abroad, due to the 47% depreciation of the real against the dollar in 2015.
Escrow deposits
The increase derives primarily from new deposits made in tax and civil lawsuits, in the amount of R$ 2,454 million and R$ 856 million, respectively, in addition to monetary updating of R$
392 million. Part of this increase was offset by the use of R$ 1,254 million upon the inclusion of tax debts in the Tax Recovery Program (REFIS).
Deferred Income Tax and Social Contribution (Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities)
Deferred tax credits are recognized on the basis of the expected generation of taxable profits in subsequent years, supported by Management initiatives. At 31 December 2015, the R$
27,963 million variance refers mainly to:
• Constitution of active deferred tax, amounting to R$ 21,029 million, referring to foreign exchange losses on debt in foreign currencies caused by the devaluation of the real in the period;
• Constitution of active deferred tax, amounting to R$ 11,379 million, relating to the loss in the recovery of assets - impairment; and
• Offset by the constitution of passive deferred tax by the temporary difference with prospection costs, in the amount of R$ 4,061 million.

LOGO

Investment
The reduction of R$ 1,510 million refers mainly to:
• Capital injections into the companies Belém Bioenergia Brasil, Sete Brasil and Fip Sondas, in the amount of R$ 351 million;
• Proposed dividends in the amount of R$ 1,046 million; and
• Losses with participations in invested companies, in the amount of R$ 797 million.
Property, plant and equipment
The increase of R$ 48,841 million is mainly due to the following events:
• Investments in assets under construction focused on the E&P segment in Brazil, with emphasis on development projects of production, amounting to R$ 67,061 million;
• Foreign exchange variance over assets of subsidiaries abroad, amounting to R$47,141 million; and
• Constitution/revision of estimate for dismantling areas, in the amount of R$ 15,932 million. These effects were partially offset by:
• Constitution of impairment, in the amount of R$ 47,722 million, with emphasis on:
- Oil and gas production fields in Brazil (R$ 33,722 million), related predominantly to the fields Papa-Terra, Polo Centro-Sul, Polo Uruguá, Espadarte, Linguado, Polo CVIT - Espĺrito Santo, Piranema, Lapa, Bicudo, Frade, Badejo, Pampo and Trilha, due to the revision of price assumptions, as well as to increase in the discount rate and geological review of the Papa-Terra reservoir;
- Comperj (R$ 5,281 million), mainly due to the increase in the discount rate and postponement of expected cash inflow for the project;
- Oil and gas production fields abroad (R$ 2,462 million), especially in the United States and Bolivia, in light of a review of price assumptions for oil prices in the international market;
- Equipment linked to the activity of oil and gas production and drilling of wells in Brazil (R$ 1,978 million), essentially due to the expected future idleness of drilling rigs in the revision during planning revision, as well as to an increase in the discount rate; and

LOGO

- Nitrogenous Fertilizers Unit III - UFN III (R$ 1,955 million), due to the increase in the discount rate and new postponement of the expected cash inflow for the project.
• Depreciation, amortization and depletion, amounting to R$ 38,065 million. The movement of fixed assets is shown below (in millions of reais):

Analysis of Consolidated Liability
2017 x 2016
The Officers of the Company note the main variations in consolidated liabilities, as described below:
Financing - Current and Noncurrent
The decline of R$ 24,265 million stems mainly from the pre-payment of debts, which surpassed inflows in the period, as described in items 10.1.d and 10.1.f of this form.
Taxes and contributions
The increase of R$ 3,220 million is basically due to the ascension to programs of regularization of federal debts, which at 31 December 2017 presented a payables amount of R$ 5,110 million, with highlight for PERT and Law 13,586/174, as detailed in the explanatory note 21.2 to the
2017 Financial Statements.
Wages, holidays, charges and contributions
The reduction of R$ 2,828 million stems mainly from the provision for PIDV, in the value of R$
2,532 million, mainly for dismissals, withdrawals and revision of the provision.

LOGO

Provision for legal proceedingsBeginning balanceReview of provisionTransfers relating to liabilities heldfor sale (*)Use for paymentsInterest updateOtherClosing balance
In 2017, the balance of likely contingencies increased R$ 12,189 million, mainly due to civil lawsuits, with the signing of the Collective Action Agreement by Petrobras – Class Action (together with its subsidiary PGF) in the amount of R$ 11,198, as well as analysis of decisions that have occurred in the period regarding the collection of royalties and government interests on gas production in the field of Urucu, fines imposed by ANP related to measuring systems and various other proceedings.
Provision for dismantling areas
The increase of R$ 13,373 million in relation to the balance at 31 December 2016 reflects the movement presented below (in millions of reais):

		46,785		33,412

In 2017, the revision of provisions in the amount of R$ 13,522 million resulted mainly from the reduction in the risk-adjusted discount rate of 7.42% per year in 2016 to 5.11% per year in
2017, due to the improvement in the perception of market risk in the country, as well as by the anticipation of the abandonment schedule in some projects.
Equity
The increase of R$ 16,866 million is a result of:
• Actuarial gains on defined benefit plans in the amount of R$ 5,312 million, net of tax;
• Cash flow hedge of exports, increasing equity in the period by R$ 5,276 million, net of taxes and the effect of reclassification of part of the exchange rate variation to result;
• Sale of interest in the BR Distribuidora without loss of control, recorded as capital transaction, i.e., transaction with shareholders, with the effect of R$ 1,597 million, net of tax, in addition to recognition of participation of non-controlling shareholders, in the value of R$ 2,577 million; and
• Creditor accrued conversion adjustment, in the amount of R$ 1,782 million, resulting from the translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries abroad in functional currency different from real;

LOGO

Analysis of Consolidated Liability
2016 x 2015
The Officers of the Company note the main variations in consolidated liabilities, as described below:
Suppliers
The reduction of R$ 6,107 million is mainly due to cost and expenditure reduction initiatives, as well as to lower imports in Brazil (R$ 2,363 million), the effect of exchange rate variation (R$ 1,138 million), transfer to liabilities held for sale (R$ 1,117 million) and sale of PESA (R$
938 million).
Financing - Current and Noncurrent
The total debt declined by R$ 107,658 million in relation to 31 December 2015 (a 22% reduction) mainly due to the 16.5% appreciation of the Brazilian real and the amortization of debts, using funds deriving from divestments and operating cash generation.
Taxes and contributions
The reduction of R$ 1,313 million refers mainly to:
• Settlement of amounts relating to Refis and Prorelit (R$ 978 million);
• Lower ICMS (R$ 569 million) and PIS/COFINS (R$ 394 million) payable values as a result of the retraction of sales due to the fall in domestic market demand;
• Reduction of taxes assessed abroad (R$ 449 million); and
• Reduction of provision for other taxes and fees in Brazil (R$ 335 million);
These effects were partially offset by the increase of provision for special participation/royalties due to higher international prices of oil (R$ 1,543 million).
Pension and health plan - Current and Noncurrent
The net actuarial obligation increased R$ 22,494 million, resulting from the loss with remeasuring of actuarial liabilities (R$ 17,749 million) and the costs of service and interest (R$
8,001 million), partially offset by payments to Petros of contributions and interest based on the financial commitment agreement - TCF (R$ 2,634 million).

LOGO

Provision for risks
In 2016, the balance of probable contingencies increased R$ 2,276 million, with emphasis on:
• Individual lawsuits on outsourcing;
• Use of ICMS credits on import of platforms;
• Claims for contractual breach related to platform construction;
• Indemnity resulting from expropriation lawsuit for the constitution of passage easement;
and
Agreements concluded to terminate individual actions, as well as ongoing negotiations with other authors (class action).

Closing balance	33,412	35,728

In the year 2016, the revisions resulted in a R$ 2.3 billion reduction in the provision with its main effects related to: (i) reduction of R$ 3.2 billion, attributable to the decrease in foreign exchange, with direct impact on the cost in dollars; (ii) reduction of R$ 1.6 billion, due to the increase in the risk-adjusted discount rate (6.73% p.a. At 31 December 2015 to 7.42% p.a., on
31 December 2016). These effects were partially offset by an increase of R$ 2.5 billion in the
revision of abandonment estimates, impacted mainly by the entry of new wells and equipment to be abandoned.
Equity
The reduction of R$ 5,187 million is a result of:
loss for the year;
debtor accrued conversion adjustment arising from the translation of financial statements of subsidiaries abroad in functional currency different from the real, offset by transfer to other net expenses relating to foreign exchange effects arising from the conversion

of companies (Petrobras Participaciones S.L. - ‘PPSL” and Nansei, from the date of acquisition of these investments to the date of sale; and
actuarial losses with defined benefit plans.
These effects were partially offset by the effect of cash flow hedging on exports in the amount of R$ 33,173, net of tax and from the effect of reclassification of part of the foreign exchange variation to result.
Analysis of Consolidated Liability
2015 x 2014
The Officers of the Company note the main variations in consolidated liabilities, as described below:
Suppliers
The reduction of R$ 1,011 million is due mainly to a reduction in prices of Brent on the international market (R$ 2,081 million) and to the reduction of payables balance for the supply of gas and the chartering of platforms, in the amount of (R$ 713 million), offset by the effect of the depreciation of the real against the dollar on the payables value to suppliers abroad (R$
1,563 million).
Financing - Current and Noncurrent
The total debt increased by 40% compared to 31 December 2015, due to the impact of 47.0% foreign exchange depreciation and to new inflows. Comments on those main inflows are presented in item 10.1.f.i of this form.
Taxes and contributions
The increase of R$ 2,343 million refers mainly to:
• Ascension to REFIS in the value of R$ 6,037 million, whereas out of this total, R$ 5,344 million were settled, R$ 2,284 million of which in cash, R$ 1,409 in tax credits from tax losses and R$ 1,254 in judicial deposits, leaving a balance of R$ 693 million;

LOGO

• Increase of R$ 1,118 million in PIS/COFINS due to an increase in the tax rate on gasoline and diesel in February 2015, as well as on financial revenues in July 2015; and
• Increased CIDE by R$ 429 million due to the resumption of its payment in May 2015.
Pension and health plan - Current and Noncurrent
The net actuarial obligation reached R$ 50,174 million at 31 December 2015, 9% higher than the balance at 31 December 2014 (R$ 45,918 million), resulting from the costs of service and interest (R$ 6,388 million), losses from remeasuring of actuarial liability (R$ 202 million) partially offset by payments to Petros of contributions and interest based on the financial commitment agreement - TCF (R$ 2,367 million).
Provision for risks
The increase of R$ 4,685 million stems from provisioning of new lawsuits, the recognition of expected probable loss, as well as updates to lawsuits that already presented such expectation. The main ones were:
• Lawsuit on the non-approval by Federal Revenue for compensation of federal taxes;
• Demands related to the payment of ICMS in the sale of QAV;
• Labor lawsuits on the revision of the methodology for calculating the minimum remuneration supplement per level and regime and on calculation differences for paid weekly rest; and
• Lawsuit for collection of royalties on shale extraction activity.
Other liabilities - Current
The increase in other liabilities in the amount of R$ 1,486 million is basically due to increase in advance to clients (R$ 531 million), provision of expenses with rescission (R$ 423 million), costs with demobilization of the Japan refinery (R$ 336 million) and increased contractual withholding for equipment acquisition and construction of platforms (R$ 121 million).
Liabilities associated to assets classified as held for sale
The value of R$ 488 million represents liabilities associated with assets classified as held for sale, and corresponds to the provision for dismantling of the Bijupirá and Salema fields.

The revision of provision has main effects related to:
• Increase in foreign exchange, with direct impact on the cost in dollars;
• Revision of the price of Brent, with a direct impact on the economicity of fields, significantly reducing the average year of abandonment; and
• Revision of well abandonment estimates, based on the well abandonment accomplishments that occurred in 2015.
These effects were partially offset by a decrease attributable to an increase in the risk- adjusted discount rate (3.76% p.a. at 31 December 2014 to 6.73% p.a. at 31 December 2015).
Earnings reserve
The movement of R$ 34,826 million reflects the loss attributable to Company shareholders for the financial year 2015.
Equity assessment adjustments
The increase of R$ 19,958 million is mainly due to the recognition of unrealized results with cash flow hedge of R$ 40,690 million, partially offset by the accrued conversion adjustment of R$ 23,826 million.

10.2. Operational and financial result
a) Results of operations of the issuer, in particular:
i. Description of any important components of revenue
The Officers of the Company note that the revenue arises from:
• local sales, which consist of sales of oil derivatives (such as diesel oil, gasoline, aircraft fuel, naphtha, fuel oil and liquefied petroleum gas), natural gas, biofuels, electric power and petrochemical products;
• export sales, which consist mainly of sales of crude oil and derivatives;
• foreign sales, which consist of sales of crude oil, natural gas and derivatives that are purchased, produced and refined abroad; and
• other revenues, including services, income from investments and foreign exchange gains.
The net operating revenue totaled R$ 283,695 million in 2017, presenting an increase of 0.4% in relation to the R$ 282,589 million in 2016 and a reduction of 11.8% in relation to the R$ 321,638 million in 2015.
Individually, the most important product in terms of revenue generation in the years 2017, 2016 and 2015 was diesel.

ii. Factors that materially affect operating results
The Officers of the Company note that the main factors that enabled the improvement of the operational result in 2017 compared to 2016 was caused by the increase of Brent, as well as the volume and margin of oil exports and sales growth of natural gas, reduction in personnel expenses, write-off of dry wells and/or subcommercial wells and idle equipment, in addition to gains from the sale of NTS and expressive decrease of impairment and depreciation. On the other hand, there was a decrease of volumes of derivatives in the internal market and higher expenses with government interests.
The Officers further highlight that, during the year 2017, with the goal of eliminating risks and uncertainties in litigation, the company has signed an agreement to end the Class Action, in the value of R$ 11,198 million (including taxes), and enrolled in four programs of regularization of federal debts, which affected the result of the company.
The Officers of the Company noted that the main factors that materially affect the consolidated operating result in the 2016 x 2015 comparison were the 8% drop in derivatives sales in the domestic market (mainly diesel and fuel oil), lower electric power generation, lower volume of natural gas sold on the domestic market, a drop in prices of oil and derivatives exports and increased depreciation due to the reduction of reserve estimates. On the other hand, there were greater margins in diesel and gasoline and lower expenses on imports and government participation in Brazil.
The Officers further highlight that there have been positive effects with the lower recognition of impairment in comparison to 2015, revision of abandonment of oil and gas areas, gains assessed on sales of assets and minor expenses with return of fields. However, the result was affected by higher costs with the new PIDV, reclassification of losses from foreign exchange devaluation (accrued conversion adjustments - CTA, due to the sale of PESA) and higher expenses with drilling rig idleness.
The Officers of the Company note that the main factors that materially affected the consolidated operating results in the 2015 x 2014 comparison were:

Inputs - lower expenses with imports of oil and derivatives due to increased share of national oil processed in the refineries and the reduction of the volume of derivative sales on the domestic market, and natural gas due to higher share of national gas in the mix of sales, higher expenses with government interests , influenced by the increase in international prices of commodities, as well as by the increase in the production of the Lula field, which has a higher effective Special Participation rate and higher expenses of electrical power, due to the PLD increase.
Net Earnings
The Officers of the Company note that the main impacts of the variables cited were arising from the negative exchange variation of certain currencies, namely:

In light of this new scenario, on 5 September 2017 the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS) of BR approved the amendment of its bylaws, considering the demands of Law No. 13,303/2016 and Decree 8,945/2016, in addition to contemplating the legal rules relating to open-capital companies and to Novo Mercado rules.

Assignment of Rights in the Azulão Field
On 22 November 2017, the company signed with Parnaĺba Gás Natural S.A., a subsidiary of the company Eneva S.A., the contract for assignment of its full stake in the field of Azulão (Concession BA-3), located in the state of Amazonas. The total value of the transaction is US$ 54.5 million and will be paid on the date of the closing of the transaction.
The completion of this transaction is subject to the fulfillment of the usual precedent conditions, including approval by ANP. As such, the corresponding assets and liabilities pursuant to this transaction continue to be classified as held for sale as of 31 December 2017.
Strategic Partnership between Petrobras and Statoil
On 18 December 2017, the company and the Norwegian company Statoil signed contracts related to the assets of the strategic partnership, further to the Heads of Agreement (“HoA”) signed and disclosed on 29 September 2017. The main contracts signed are:
• Strategic Alliance Agreement (“SAA”) - agreement that describes all the
documents and initiatives related to the Strategic Partnership covering all the initiatives negotiated;
• Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) - transfer of 25% stake of

LOGO

Petrobras in the Roncador field to Statoil;
• Strategic Technical Alliance Agreement (“STAA”) - strategic agreement for technical cooperation aiming at maximizing the value of the asset, focused on increasing the volume of recoverable oil (recovery factor) including the extension of the useful life of the field;
• Gas Term Sheet - option for Statoil to hire a certain processing capacity of natural gas at the Cabiúnas Terminal (TECAB) for the development of the BM-C-33 area, where the companies already are partners, in which Statoil is the operator.
The Strategic Partnership has among its objectives, to take advantage of the Statoil’s experience in the management of mature fields in the North Sea, applying this knowledge to increase the recovery factor of the field of Roncador. For this purpose, the companies signed the STAA for technical cooperation and joint development of projects to increase the recovery factor, cost control, and application of new technologies.
The SPA contract provides for the sale of 25% stake in the Roncador field for the total value of US$ 2.9 billion, of which US$ 2.35 billion due at the closing of the transaction and the remainder balance in contingent payments related to investments in projects that aim to increase the recovery factor of the field, limited to US$ 550 million. At the date of signing of contracts, Statoil made an advance payment in the amount of US$ 117.50 million for this acquisition. The assets and liabilities relating to this transaction were classified as held for sale, resulting in the recognition of impairment losses on
31 December 2017, as per explanatory note 14.1.
On 13 March 2018, CADE approved the sale process without restrictions, though there still remains the need for compliance with the other precedent conditions, including approval of ANP.
Other corporate restructuring
Restructuring of Petrobras Distribuidora (BR)
On 25 August 2017, the Board of Directors of Petrobras approved the corporate restructuring of its wholly-owned subsidiary Petrobras Distribuidora S.A. (BR), with the execution of the following transactions:
• capital inflows from Petrobras to in BR in the approximate amount of R$
6,313 million, performed on 31 August 2017 for the pre-payment of debts precapital inflows of Petrobras in BR valued at approximately R$6,313 million,

LOGO

performed on 31 August 2017 for the pre-payment of debts previously contracted by BR and guaranteed by Petrobras (explanatory note 11.2); and
• partial division of the BR with incorporation of the demerged portion by
Downstream Participações Ltda. (“Downstream”), a subsidiary whose capital belongs entirely to the Petrobras. The demerged share contemplates the receivables held by BR arising from Contracts of Confession of Debt (CCDs) with the Eletrobras System, which have real guarantees, plus the receivables with other companies in the Petrobras System, in the approximate amount of the contribution described above. The demerged share was incorporated by Downstream on 31 August 2017.
Incorporation of Nova Fronteira Bioenergia
On 15 December 2016, Petrobras concluded an agreement of incorporation and other covenants with Grupo São Martinho S.A. (São Martinho) through its subsidiary Petrobras Biocombustĺvel S.A. (PBIO), a company in the biofuel segment. The agreement stipulated that the 49% stake held by PBIO in Nove Fronteira Bioenergia S.A. was to be incorporated by São Martinho.
On 23 February 2017, the transaction was completed upon the receipt by PBIO of 24,000,000 new common shares issued by São Martinho, representing 6.593% of the total shares of this company. Those shares were classified as bonds and securities available for sale.
On 27 December 2017, the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of PBIO decided to authorize the sale of the São Martinho shares in a block of shares (block trade mode).
On 16 February 2018, through auction at B3, PBIO sold its 24,000,000 São Martinho S.A. shares, at the price of R$ 18.51 (eighteen reais and fifty-one cents) per share, terminating, upon this sale, its participation in the total capital of São Martinho S.A. The settlement of the transaction occurred on 21
February 2018.
Incorporation of Downstream
On 7 November 2017, the EGM of Petrobras approved the incorporation of Downstream Participações Ltda to Petrobras with its consequent extinction, without an increase in the capital of Petrobras.

Collective action (class action) and related proceedings
One Consolidated Collective Action (class action) and thirty-three individual actions were filed by investors before the Federal Court for the Southern District of New York (USA) and one action was filed by an individual investor in the Federal Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (USA), all with arguments similar to those presented in the Consolidated Collective Action.
The authors argue that the Petrobras, through material facts, disclosures and other information filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), have reported materially false information and committed omissions capable of inducing investors to error, especially in relation to the value of its assets, expenses, net profit and efficiency of its internal controls over financial statements and anti-corruption policies, due to accusations of corruption with respect to certain contracts, which had supposedly increased the price of Petrobras securities in an artificial manner.
On 2 February 2016, the Judge accepted the request of the Main Authors for class certification, creating one class of investors whose claims are based on the Securities Act represented by Hawaii and North Carolina (the “Securities Act Class”), and one class of investors whose claims are based on the Exchange Act, represented by USS (the “Exchange Act Class”). The Securities Act Class was largely defined as all purchasers of securities issued by Petrobras, PifCo and/or PGF, in transactions in the United States, directly in, pursuant to and/or traceable to public offerings of 15 May 2013 and 11 March 2014, and who have suffered losses. The Exchange Act Class was largely defined as all purchasers of securities of Petrobras, PifCo and/or PGF between 22 January
2010 and 28 July 2015, in the New York Stock Exchange (New York Securities Exchange) or by means of other transactions occurring in the United States, and who have suffered losses.
Between 21 October 2016 and 13 September 2017, the Board of Directors of Petrobras approved agreements to terminate twenty-one Individual Actions (the “Individual Actions Closed”), leaving 13 Individual Actions pending (six of which were suspended from the filing) (the “Outstanding Individual Actions”). The terms of the agreements of the Individual Actions Closed are secret and Petrobras denies all the allegations of acts contrary to the legislation. The agreements aim to eliminate uncertainties, burdens and costs associated with the continuity of these disputes.
To reflect the agreements concluded in the Individual Actions Closed, as well as the negotiations at an advanced stage with other authors of individual actions, the company recognized R$ 1,476 million in the result (R$ 261 million in 2017 and RS 1,215 million in 2016).
At the end of December 2017, the company signed an agreement to end the Consolidated Collective Action, still subject to judicial approval (the “Collective Action Agreement”).

LOGO

The purpose of the Collective Action Agreement is to terminate all the demands currently in progress and which could be filed by purchasers of Petrobras securities in the United States or by purchasers of Petrobras securities listed for transactions or that were settled through the Depository Trust Company in the United States, including the Outstanding Individual Actions. Under the terms of the Collective Action Agreement, for the purposes of the agreement only, the parties agreed with the certification of a new class defined as all individuals who (i) during the period between 22 January
2010 and 28 July 2015 (the “Class Period”) acquired Petrobras securities, including securities issued by PifCo and/or PGF, in the New York Stock Exchange or in terms of other Covered Transactions; and/or (ii) purchased securities issued by Petrobras, PifCo and/or PGF in Covered Transactions,
directly in, pursuant to and/or traceable to the public offer of 13 May 2013 registered in the United States and/or the public offer of 10 March 2014 registered in the United States, before Petrobras made available to shareholders a financial statement covering a period of at least twelve months from the effective date of the offerings (11 August 2014 for the public offer of 13 May 2013, and 15 May 2015 for the public offer of 10 March 2014).
If approved, the Collective Action Agreement eliminates the risk of an unfavorable judgment, which, as previously reported by Petrobras, could cause a material adverse effect on the company and its financial situation, and it eliminates uncertainties, burdens and costs associated with the continuity of this dispute.
Under the Collective Action Agreement, Petrobras (together with its subsidiary PGF) has agreed to pay US$ 2,950 million (R$ 9,759 million), in two installments of US$ 983 million (R$ 3,252 million) and a final installment of US$ 984 million (R$ 3,255 million). The first installment of the agreement was paid on 1 March 2018. The second installment will be paid within ten days from the final approval of the Collective Action Agreement. The third installment will be paid (i) within up to six months from final approval, or (ii) on 15 January 2019, whichever occurs last.
On 16 January 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States accepted a consensus petition of the parties to postpone the examination of the Petrobras appeal pending final approval of the Collective Action Agreement.
The Collective Agreement Action was submitted to the District Court for preliminary approval. On 23 February 2018, a hearing was held before the District Court, and the judge decided in favor of the preliminary approval on
28 February 2018. The potential members of the class will be notified and will have the opportunity to either join or not join the agreement and to submit
any objections that will be assessed by the District Court.
If the Collective Action Agreement is approved definitively, the authors of the Outstanding Individual Actions will be eligible to participate in the agreement. These authors shall also have the option not to accede to the Collective Action Agreement and, if so, such actions will continue.

LOGO

Some individuals are seeking measures in Brazil against Petrobras to cancel and/or suspend the Collective Action Agreement. To date, no adverse measure has been taken against the agreement.
The agreement does not constitute acknowledgment of guilt or practice of irregular acts by Petrobras. In the agreement, the Company expressly denies any liability. This reflects its status as a victim of the acts revealed by Operation Car Wash, as recognized by the Brazilian authorities, including the Federal Supreme Court. In the condition of victim of the scheme, Petrobras has already recovered R$ 1.475 billion in Brazil and will continue to seek all legal measures against companies and individuals responsible.
Collective action filed by investor Foundation in the Netherlands
On 23 January 2017, Stichting Petrobras Compensation Foundation (“Foundation”) filed a class action lawsuit in the Netherlands, in the District Court of Rotterdam, against Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras and its subsidiaries, Petrobras International Braspetro B.V. (PIB BV) and Petrobras Global Finance B.V. (PGF), plus joint venture Petrobras Oil & Gas B.V. (PO&G) and a few former Petrobras managers.
The Foundation claims that it represents an unidentified group of investors and requires a judicial declaration that the defendants had acted unlawfully in relation to investors who purchased shares or securities issued by Petrobras and PGF outside the USA before 28 July 2015, in connection with the alleged illegal acts, stating that the alleged financial loss of these investors is related with facts revealed by Operation Car Wash and alleged false financial information disclosed by the company.
The demand relates to complex issues, and the result is subject to substantial uncertainties that depend on factors such as: the legitimacy of the Foundation to represent the investors, the laws applicable to the case, the production of evidence in the possession of third parties, forensic analysis, schedule to be defined by the Court and judicial decisions on key issues of the proceeding. It is not possible to predict at this time whether the company will be responsible for the actual payment of indemnities, as this analysis will depend on the outcome of these procedures, as well as to whether and what investors could submit indemnity claims.
Furthermore, the allegations are broad, cover several years and involve a variety of activities. All these elements make the possible impact of applications by the Foundation to be highly uncertain in the current phase of the process. Regardless, Petrobras believes it has been the victim of the corruption system revealed by Operation Car Wash, and seeks to demonstrate and prove such a condition also before the Dutch authorities.
In view of the uncertainty present at the moment, it is not possible to make any safe assessment of possible risks related to this dispute. The Foundation has no right to claim any loss and damage, and if such are recognized, they

LOGO

shall be fixed in subsequent specific proceedings to be filed by the investors themselves or on their behalf, unless an agreement is concluded that includes such investors.
Petrobras and its subsidiaries deny the allegations made by the Foundation and will defend themselves firmly in the lawsuit in reference.
Other related proceedings initiated by investors
The company is also a party to arbitrations and judicial proceedings in Brazil, which are currently at their early stages. These proceedings were filed by investors who purchased shares in B3 and claim damages arising out of the acts revealed by Operation Car Wash.

10.4. Significant changes in accounting practices - Qualifications and emphases in the auditor opinion
a) Significant changes in accounting practices
The Officers of the Company note that there was no significant change in accounting practices in the last three years.
The main standards issued by IASB in previous years, which have not yet entered into force and whose adoption was not anticipated by the Company by 31 December 2017, are:
IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments - establishes, among other things, new requirements for: classification and measurement of financial assets, measurement and recognition of loss by reducing the recoverable value of financial assets, changes in terms of financial assets and liabilities, hedge accounting and disclosure;
IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts - establishes the principles that should be applied to display useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, value, the time and the uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with the client, which includes greater disclosure requirements. This standard shall be applied to all contracts with clients, except when the transaction involves non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to clients or potential clients, or when the transaction is within the scope of another standard;
IFRIC 22 - applicable to transactions in foreign currency (or part thereof) which results in the recognition of non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability, arising out of early payment or receiving (advance), before the asset, expenditure or revenue related to advance is recognized. IFRIC 22 clarifies that the date of the exchange rate to be used in the initial recognition of the asset, expenditure or revenue related to advance is the same as used in the initial recognition of the advance; and
IFRS 16 - contains principles for the identification, recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of commercial leases, by both lessees and lessors.
The rules relating to IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRIC 22 shall enter into force on 1
January 2018, and IFRS 16 shall enter into force on 1 January 2019. For more information, see explanatory note 6 in the financial statements at 31
December 2017 the company.

LOGO

b) Significant effects of changes in accounting practices
The Officers of the Company note there were no changes, as per item (a)
above.
c) Qualifications and emphases present in the auditor opinion
The Officers of the Company note that there were no paragraphs of emphasis on the financial statements for the financial years ended 31 December 2017 and 2016.
Emphasis - Effects of the “Operation Car Wash” on the operations of the company
The Independent Auditors’ opinion dated 21 March 2016, concerning the financial statements for the financial years ended at 31 December 2015 and
2014, indicated aspects related to the “Operation Car Wash” and contemplated the following emphasis:
“We call attention to explanatory note 3 to the financial statements, which describes the consequences of “Operation Car Wash” on the Company, covering:
• accounting write-off in 2014, of R$ 6,194 million in the consolidated financial statements (R$ 4,788 million in the individual financial statements) referring to additional expenses improperly capitalized in the acquisition of fixed assets;
• the steps that are being taken in relation to the matter, including internal investigations conducted conducted by law firms, under the direction of a Special Committee constituted by the Company;
• the investigation that is conducted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission - SEC; and
• the Civil investigation initiated by the Prosecutor’s Office of São Paulo State to determine potential damage caused to investors in the Brazilian securities market.
We also call attention to explanatory note 30.4 to the financial statements, which describes the filing of lawsuits against the Company, for which a

LOGO

possible loss or possible range of losses cannot be estimated due to their current stage.”
In connection to the effects of “Operation Car Wash,” the company admits the degree of uncertainty involved in the estimate methodology and will continue monitoring the results of investigations in progress. If further information is available relating to the scheme of improper payments, and if reliable information is available indicating with sufficient precision that the estimates used should be adjusted, the company will assess whether the adjustment is material and, if so, recognize it.

LOGO

10.5. Critical accounting policies
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments for certain operations and their consequences to assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The assumptions used are based on history and other factors considered relevant, periodically revised by Management, whose actual results may differ from the estimated values.
The following are information about accounting practices and estimates that require high level of judgment or complexity in their application and that may materially affect the financial position and the results of the company.
Oil and natural gas reserves
Oil and natural gas reserves are calculated based on economic, geological and engineering information, such as well profiles, pressure data and data from drilling fluid samples. The volumes of reserves are used to calculate rates of depreciation/depletion/amortization under the method of units produced, in tests of recoverability of assets (impairment), in calculations of provisions for dismantling areas and to define highly likely that exports are subject to cash flow hedging.
The determination of the estimate of the volume of reserves requires significant judgment and is subject to review, at least annually, conducted from revaluation of existing data and/or newly available information related to the production and geology of the reservoirs, as well as changes in prices and costs used. Revisions may also result from significant changes in the development strategy of the company or in production capacity.
The company appraises reserves in accordance with the criteria from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and ANP/SPE (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels - ANP/Society of Petroleum Engineers - SPE). The main differences between the ANP/SPE and SEC criteria are: sales prices, whereas ANP/SPE criterion uses the company’s project prices where the SEC criterion considers the average price on the first working day of the last 12 months; and the ANP permission to consider volumes beyond the term of concession, for ANP/SPE criterion. Under the SEC criterion, estimated only refer to proven reserves, whereas the ANP/SPE criterion includes estimates of proven and unproven reserves.
According to the definition established by the SEC, reserves of crude oil and gas are the quantities of oil and gas which, through the analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty as

LOGO

economically viable from a given date, known reservoirs, and under economic conditions, current operating methods and government regulations. Proven reserves are subdivided into developed and undeveloped reserves.
Developed proven reserves are those which it is possible to expect the recovery: (i) through existing wells, with current equipment and operational methods, or where the cost of the equipment required is relatively small when compared to the cost of a new well; and (ii) by means of installed extraction equipment and infrastructure, in operation at the time of the estimate of the reserve, if the extraction occurs by means that do not involve a well.
Although the company understands that proven reserves will be produced, the quantities and periods of recovery may be affected by several factors, which include the completion of development projects, the performance of the reservoirs, regulatory aspects and significant changes in the price levels of crude oil and natural gas in the long term.
Further information on reserves is presented in the additional information about exploration and production activities of oil and natural gas.
a) Impact of oil and natural gas reserves on depreciation, depletion and amortization
Depreciation, depletion and amortization are measured based on reserve estimates produced by specialized professionals of the company, in accordance with the definitions established by the SEC. Revisions of proven developed and non-developed reserves have a prospective impact on the values of depreciation, depletion and amortization recognized in results and the accounting values of oil and natural gas assets.
As such, if the other constant variables are maintained, a reduction in proven estimated reserves would prospectively increase the periodic value of expenditure with depreciation/depletion/depreciation, whereas an increase in reserves would prospectively result in a reduction in the value of periodic expenses with depreciation/depletion/amortization.
Further information on depreciation and depletion is presented in explanatory notes 4.8 and 12.
b) Impact of oil and natural gas reserves on impairment test
Assets linked to the exploration and development of oil and natural gas production have the recovery of their value tested annually, regardless of whether there is evidence of loss of value. To evaluate the recoverability of such assets, the company uses the value in use, as explanatory note 4.10.

LOGO

Generally speaking, the analyzes are based on proven and probable reserves in accordance with the criteria established by ANP/SPE.
c) Impact of oil and natural gas reserves in the estimates of costs with obligations related to dismantling of areas
The estimated at the time of completion of the costs with obligations related to dismantling onshore or offshore areas at the end of the operations at production sites is based on the term of exhaustion of proven reserves in accordance with the criteria established by ANP/SPE.
Thus, revisions of the exhaustion term of reserves can affect the provision of costs with obligations related to dismantling areas.
d) Impact on highly probable exports that are object of cash flow hedge
The calculation of “highly probable future exports” has as its basis the exports envisaged in the Business Plan and Management (PNG) and the Strategic Plan (PE) and which are derived from estimates of proven and probable reserves. Revisions of such reservations may impact the expectations in relation to future exports and, consequently, the designations of hedge ratios. For example, a designation of hedge ratio must be withdrawn if the future exports which served as a basis for such designation can no longer be considered as highly probable. In this case, the gain or loss accumulated in equity on the basis of the hedge ratio must be reclassified to the result when the future export occurs. When it is no longer expected that the future export will occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is immediately transferred to the result of the period.
Premises for testing recoverability of assets (Impairment)
Impairment tests involve uncertainties related mainly to the key assumptions: average price of Brent and average exchange rate (Real/US dollar) whose estimates are relevant for virtually all business segments of the company. A significant number of interdependent variables for determining the value in use, whose application in tests of impairment involves a high degree of complexity, derives from these estimates.
The markets for crude oil and natural gas have a history of significant price volatility and, although occasionally, there may be significant drops, long- term prices tend to continue being dictated by market supply and demand fundamentals.
The projections related to key assumptions derive from the business plan and management for the first five years, and are consistent with the strategic plan for the subsequent years. Such projections are consistent with evidence from

LOGO

the market, such as independent macroeconomic forecasts, analyzes of industry and experts. Statistical tests, such as backtesting and feedback, are also performed to continually improve the forecasting techniques of the company.
The company’s price prediction model is based in a non-linear relation between the variables that aim to represent the fundamentals of supply and demand in the market. This model also considers the impact of the decisions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), costs of the industry, idle capacity, oil and gas production provided by specialized firms and the relationship between the oil price and the exchange rate of the US dollar.
Changes in the economic environment can generate changes in assumptions and, consequently, the recognition of losses due to devaluation in certain assets or CGUs, since, for example, the price of Brent directly impacts the sales revenues and margins of refining company, while the exchange rate of the US dollar against the real impacts mainly investments and operating expenses.
Changes in the economic and political environment may also result in higher country-risk projections causing increase in the discount rates used in the tests of impairment.
Reductions in future prices of crude oil and natural gas, which are considered long-term trend, as well as negative effects arising from significant changes in the volume of reserves, in the curve of expected production, the costs of extraction or at discount rates, as well as decisions on investments that result in the postponement or interruption of projects, may be evidence of the need to conduct tests of recoverability of assets (impairment).
The recoverable value of certain assets does not exceed substantially their accounting values and, for this reason, it is reasonably possible that devaluation losses are recognized in these assets in the coming years due to the observation of a distinct reality in relation to the premises assumed, as explanatory note 14.1.1 of the Financial Statements for 2017.
Definition of cash-generating units for tests of recoverability of assets
(Impairment)
The definition of cash-generating units - CGUs involves judgment and evaluation by the Administration, based on its business model and management. Changes in the cash-generating units (CGUs) that are identified by the company may result in additional losses or reversals in asset recovery. Such changes can happen as a result of revisions to investment, strategic or operational factors which may result in changes in changes to the interdependencies between assets and, consequently, in the aggregation or

LOGO

disaggregation of assets that were part of certain CGUs. The definitions adopted were as follows:
a) CGUs in the Exploration and Production segment:

i.	Oil and gas production field or hub: composed by a set of assets linked to the exploration and the development of production of a field or a hub (set of two or more fields) in Brazil or abroad. At 31 December

2017, the fields of Guriatã and Guriatã Sul were considered under the same CGU, namely, the Guriatã hub, since both fields share the same reservoir, a fact that also occurred with the fields of Canário da Terra and Canário da Terra Sul, which formed the Canário da Terra hub. Thus, on 31 December 2017, the Exploration and Production segment had 40 areas treated as hubs which encompass 179 fields.
Additionally, at 30 November 2017, the company submitted to ANP the declaration of commerciality for the Mero field, considered a CGU on 31 December 2017.
Drilling rigs are not linked to any CGU and are tested individually for the purposes of recoverability.
b) CGUs in the Downstream segment:
i. Downstream CGU: set of assets consisting of the refineries, terminals and pipelines, as well as the logistics assets operated by Transpetro, with combined, centralized operation of logistics and refining assets, having as a common goal the service of the market at the lowest overall cost and, above all, the preservation of the strategic value of the asset set in the long term. Operational planning is done centrally and the assets are not managed, measured or evaluated by their individual, isolated economic-financial result. Refineries do not have autonomy to choose the crude oil to be processed, the mix of derivatives to produce, markets where to allocate them, which portion will be exported, which intermediaries will be received and the prices of sales of products. Operational decisions are analyzed through an integrated model of operational planning to service the market, considering all the options of production, import, export, logistics and inventory, seeking to maximize the overall performance of the company. The decision on new investments is not based on individual assessment of the asset where the project will be installed, but the result for the CGU as a whole. The model on which all the planning is based, which is used in technical and economical feasibility studies of new investments in refining and logistics, seeks to allocate a given type oil, or mix of derivatives, to define the service of markets (area of influence), aiming at the best results for the integrated system. Pipelines and terminals are complementary and interdependent parts of refining assets, with the common goal of service to the market;

LOGO

ii. CGU Petrochemical Complex of Rio de Janeiro (Comperj): assets under construction in Refinery Production Unit 1 - Comperj. In 2014, the company chose to postpone this project for an extensive period of time;
iii. CGU 2nd refining production unit RNEST: assets under construction of the second refining production unit at the Abreu e Lima Refinery and associated infrastructure. In 2014, the company chose to postpone this project for an extensive period of time;
iv. CGU Petrochemicals: used to include the assets of the petrochemical plants of companies PetroquĺmicaSuape and Citepe. In December
2016, the assets no longer composed a CGU and were reclassified to noncurrent asset held for sale, based on the approval of the sale of
the assets for these two companies by the company;

CGU Transport: the generating unit in this segment is defined by the assets of the Transpetro fleet of vessels. In December 2017, Transpetro Management decided to hibernate for an indefinite period of time three PANAMAX-class vessels under construction (I-512, I-513 and I-104) and, as a consequence, these assets no longer belong to the CGU Transport and had their recoverable values tested in isolation;

vi. CGU Convoy-Waterways: comprises the set of vessels (convoys) under construction in the Waterways project (ethanol transportation along the Tietê River). In 2016, they were removed from the CGU Transport due to the postponement of the project for an extended period of time;
vii. CGU SIX: shale processing plant; and
viii. Other CGUs: comprise assets abroad appraised at the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows independently of cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
c) CGUs in the Gas and Power segment:
i. CGU Natural Gas: set of assets that composes the commercial network of natural gas (gas pipelines), units of natural gas processing (UPGN) and set of asset of nitrogenous fertilizers (industrial plants. Considering the low prospect of success on the sale of certain fertilizer plants and the decision by Management continue the strategic stance defined in the 2018-2022 Business and Management Plan approved in December 2017 to withdraw from this business, all plants that were still part of the CGU Natural Gas were removed and now have their recoverability tested in isolation;

LOGO

ii. CGU Unit of Nitrogenous Fertilizers III (UFN III): Nitrogenous Fertilizers Plant III, whose construction is currently halted and the date of entry into operation is postponed since 2014;
iii. CGU Energy: set of assets that compose the portfolio of thermoelectric plants (UTE).
iv. Other CGUs: comprise assets abroad appraised at the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows independently of cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
d) CGU in the Distribution segment: set of distribution assets, mainly related to the operating activities of Petrobras Distribuidora S.A.
e) CGU in the Biofuel segment

CGU Biodiesel: set of assets that composes the biodiesel plants. The definition of the CGU, with joint assessment of plants, reflects the process of planning and execution of production, considering domestic market conditions and the supply capacity of each plant, as well as the results achieved in the auctions and the supply of raw materials; and

ii. CGU Quixadá: includes the assets of the Biodiesel Plant in Quixadá-CE.
In September 2016, it was removed from the CGU Biodiesel in light of the decision to terminate its operations.
Investments in affiliated companies and joint ventures, including goodwill, are tested individually for the purposes of evaluating their recoverability.
Further information on the reduction to the recoverable amount of assets is presented in explanatory notes 4.10 and 14 of the Financial Statements for
2017.
Pension benefits and other post-employment benefits
Actuarial commitments and costs with the defined benefit pension plans and retirement and medical care depend on a series of financial and demographic assumptions, among the main are:
• Discount rate - includes the projected inflation curve based on the market plus actual interest determined through an equivalent rate that combines the maturity profile of the pension and health obligations with the future curve return of longer-term securities of the Brazilian Government;

the last five years, which equals the rate of general inflation in the economy within 30 years.
These and other estimates are reviewed annually and may differ from actual results due to changes in market and economic conditions, in addition to the actual behavior of the actuarial assumptions.
The sensitivity analysis of discount rates and variation of medical and hospital costs, as well as further information of the assumptions, are disclosed in explanatory note 22 to the 2017 Financial Statements.
Estimates relating to legal proceedings and contingencies
The company is a party to arbitration, judicial and administrative proceedings involving civil, tax, labor and environmental matters arising from the normal course of its operations, and uses estimates to determine the values and the probability of outflow of resources based on opinions and technical evaluations of its legal advisors and the judgment of Management.
These estimates are performed individually or by grouping cases with similar theses and essentially take into account factors such as the examination of requests made by the authors, robustness of existing evidence, jurisprudential precedents of similar cases and doctrine on the subject. Specifically for labor lawsuits by contractors, the company estimates the expected loss through a statistical procedure because of the volume of lawsuits with similar characteristics.
Arbitration, judicial and administrative decisions in lawsuits against the company, new jurisprudence, changes in the set of existing evidence can result in a change in the probability of outflow of funds and their measurements through analysis of their grounds.
Information on provisioned proceedings and contingencies is presented in explanatory note 30 to the 2017 Financial Statements.
Estimates of the costs with obligations for dismantling areas
The company has legal obligations for removal of equipment and restoration of onshore and offshore areas at the end of the operations in production sites. The most significant obligations related to of asset removal involve the removal and disposal of installations at sea (offshore) for oil and natural gas production in Brazil and abroad. The estimates of the costs of future removals and environmental recoveries are made on the basis of current information about costs and expected recovery plans.

LOGO

The calculation of these estimates are complex and involve significant judgments, considering that: (i) the obligations will occur in the long term; (ii) that the contracts and regulations have subjective descriptions of the practices of removal and restoration and the criteria to be met at the time of effective removal and restoration; and (iii) that the technologies and costs of removal of assets change constantly, along with environmental and safety regulations.
The company is constantly conducting studies to incorporate technologies and procedures in order to optimize the operations of abandonment, considering the best practices in the industry. However, the terms and values of future cash flows are subject to significant uncertainties.
Further information on the dismantling of areas is presented in explanatory notes 4.14 and 20 of the Financial Statements 2017.
Deferred taxes on profit
The company uses judgment to determine the recognition and the value of deferred taxes in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it the existence of that taxable future profits is probable. The determination to recognize deferred tax assets requires the use of estimates contained in the Business Plan and Management (PNG) for the Petrobras System, which is approved annually by the Board of Directors. This plan contains the main assumptions that support the measurement of future taxable profits which are: (i) the price of Brent crude; (ii) exchange rate; (iii) net financial result.
The movement of deferred income tax and contribution are presented in explanatory note 21.5 to the 2017 Financial Statements.
Cash flow hedge accounting for export
The calculation of “highly probable future exports” has as its basis the exports envisaged in the current Business Plan and Management (PNG) and Strategic Plan (PE) and represent a portion of the amounts projected for export revenue in the medium- and long-term. The value considered highly probable is obtained considering the future uncertainty about the price of oil, oil production and demand for products in a model of optimization of operations and investments of the company, and by using as threshold a historic percentage of exported volume in relation to the total production of oil. The values of future exports are recalculated at each change of assumptions in the projection of the PNG and PE. The methodology used for its calculation, as well as their respective parameters, is reassessed at least once a year.
Other information and sensitivity analyzes of cash flow hedge accounting for export are disclosed in explanatory note 33.2 of the 2017 Financial Statements.

LOGO

Write-off of additional costs improperly capitalized
As described in explanatory note 3, the company performed accounting write- offs of R$ 6,194 million in the third quarter of 2014, referring to the capitalized costs representing amounts paid in the acquisition of fixed assets in previous years.
To record these adjustments, the company has developed a methodology described in explanatory note 3. Petrobras admits the degree of uncertainty involved in said estimate methodology, and will continue to monitor the result of current investigations and the availability of further information relating to the scheme of improper payments, and if reliable information is available indicating with sufficient precision that the estimates The company used should be adjusted, the company will assess whether the adjustment is material and, if so, recognize it.
However, as already discussed, the company believes that it has used the most appropriate methodology to determine the values of improper payments capitalized and there is no evidence indicating the possibility of a material change in the amounts written off.
Losses in doubtful debt accounts
The losses related to doubtful accounts are established considering objective evidence of losses which, among others, include: cases of significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obliged party, including specific sectors, judicial collection, petition for bankruptcy or judicial recovery. Further information on losses on doubtful debt is presented in explanatory note 8 to the 2017
Financial Statements.

10.8. Business Plan
a) Investments, including:
i. quantitative and qualitative description of investments in progress and planned investments:
In December 2017, the Board of Directors of Petrobras approved the 2018-
2022 Business and Management Plan (PNG 2018-2022).
The PNG 2018-2022 focuses on safety and the reduction of financial leverage, keeping as a basis the two main top metrics, one related to safety and the other financial, as already defined in the PNG 2017-20211 and which continue guiding the strategic actions of the company:
The safety metric has been advanced by two years: the limit of the Rate of Recordable Injuries per million man-hours (TAR) was reduced from 1.4 to 1.0 in 2018;
The financial leverage target was maintained: Net debt/adjusted EBITDA
of 2.5 in 2018.
The safety metric considers the Rate of Recordable Injury (TAR), which is a metric widely used in the oil and gas industry. The TAR limit for the year of
2018 was changed from 1.4 to 1.0 due to the implementation of the
Commitment to Life Program in 2017, whose actions were 100% completed, contributing to the reduction of TAR by approximately 50%, i.e., from 2.15 in
2015 to 1.08 in October/2017. This program will have a new cycle, containing
actions guided by the safety of processes and incorporated to the principles and guidelines that also cover the dimensions of Environment and Health.
The financial indicator continues to be the Net Debt/adjusted EBITDA, with the goal of 2.5 by December 2018. The goal is that the indicator is in decline and convergent by 2022, with the world average of major companies in the industry.
The main pillars of the plan are: competitive prices, efficiency of investments (capex), efficiency of operating expenses (opex) and program of partnerships and divestitures.
The assumptions on the average price of Brent and average exchange rate adopted for planning were considered according to the table below:


		2018	2019	2020	2021	2022
Brent	US$/barril	53	58	66	70	73

Câmbio Nominal	R$/US$	3,44	3,55	3,62	3,69	3,80

LOGO

1 The PNG 2017-2021 defined two main metrics, one in safety and another financial, which guide the company’s strategy: (i) reduce by 36% the Rate of Recordable Injury1, from 2.2 in 2015 to 1.4 in 2018; and (ii) reduce the leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA) from 5.11 to 2.5 in 2015 by 2018.
The portfolio of investments of the PNG 2018-2022 maintains the same level of investments compared to the PNG 2017-2021 and continues to prioritize oil exploration and production projects in Brazil. In the other business areas, investments are intended primarily to maintain operations and for projects related to offloading oil and natural gas production and are distributed per the tables below.
PNG 2018-2022 investments - 2018-2022 Period
Production curve of Oil, NGL and Natural Gas
The company expect to achieve a total production of oil and gas, in Brazil and abroad, of 3.5 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) 2022, of which
2.9 million barrels per day (bpd) in oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) in Brazil, already considering new investment level, partnerships and divestments.

Risk Management
Petrobras continues to adopt specific initiatives for the improvement of risk management, including the identification and planning of mitigation actions, in order to allow timely and appropriate response, in any scenario.
Among the main risks identified, we highlight:
Relevant changes in market conditions, such as volatility of prices of crude oil and natural gas, product sales and margins;
Major Accidents / asset integrity;
Performance of partnerships and divestments; Delays in platform construction;
Legal proceedings and contingencies.
Strategic Monitoring
In 2016, the Board of Directors (CA) of Petrobras approved the Strategic Plan (PE) of the company with an emphasis on the vision and the five fundamental principles that define what Petrobras wants to be, and also the 21 strategies linked to these principles.
Petrobras Vision: “An integrated energy company with focus on oil and gas that evolves with society, generates high value and has unique technical capacity”; having as values the respect for life, for people and the environment; ethics and transparency; market orientation; resilience and confidence; and results.
In December 2017, the Board of Directors approved the results of the ongoing process of strategic monitoring of the company, which operates from the ongoing assessment of the business environment, as well as the implementation of the plan, allowing adjustments to be made in a more agile and effective manner.
The process promoted adjustments on the set of strategies established in the PE approved in 2016, with the incorporation of three new topics: (1) the transition to a low carbon economy; (2) the preparation of the company to capture opportunities arising from the digital transformation; and (3) optimization of risk and financial management of the company; resulting in a total of 20 strategies and 78 initiatives related thereto. Each initiative in turn features benchmarks with systematic follow-up, to ensure discipline in their execution.
The five fundamental principles of the company’s vision are translated in 20 strategies presented below:

LOGO

Efficient integration:
Reduce the risk of Petrobras, adding value in Exploration & Production (E&P), Refining, Transportation, Logistics, Distribution and Sales through the active management of portfolio by means of partnerships, acquisitions and divestments.

ii. sources of financing for investments:
In order to meet the investments and payments of interest and amortization projected for the 2018-2022 period, Petrobras plans to use as sources of financing its operating generation, partnerships and divestments.

LOGO

The partnership and divestment program is an important part of the Plan and its implementation has reached the value of US$ 13.6 billion in the 2015-2016 biennium, whereas the target for the 2017-2018 biennium is US$ 21 billion.
In relation to the operational costs, the company continues with reduction efforts, foreseeing an amount of US$ 136.8 billion in manageable operating expenses in the PNG 2018-2022.
These initiatives, combined with an operating cash generation estimated at US$158 billion, after dividends, will allow Petrobras to carry out its investments and reduce its debt, without the need for new net borrowings on the horizon of the plan.

ii. relevant disinvestment in progress and forecast disinvestment:
The active management of the Company’s portfolio allied to its strategy of acting in partnership results in an important source of funds to company through the Partnership and Divestment Program.
The Program is aligned to the Business and Management Plan and seeks to optimize the business portfolio, fully withdrawing from the activities of

LOGO

biofuel production, distribution of LPG, production of fertilizers and participations in petrochemical plants, preserving technological skills in areas with development potential. In addition, the program is considered one of the main pillars for the reduction of the level of leverage of Petrobras.
In March 2017, the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) appoved the Company’s new divestment methodology, and determined the restart of divestment projects in progress, which had still not been signed, so the new methodology was used. As such, all the projects without a signed contract have been terminated.
The new methodology has caused delays in divestment projects in progress, but it has brought greater transparency to the governance of the program. All stages below are not disclosed to the public:
Stage where the divestment intention is made public, and potential stakeholders are invited to participate in the competitive process
Optional stage performed to identify and select the participants truly interested in the purchase and who see greater value in the assets/companies under divestment
Stage where the competition to select the best offer on the part of potential stakeholders occurs, so as to maximize the value of the sale;
Optional stage, which occurs when exclusivity to a potential buyer is formally granted after the binding stage;
Stage in which the agreements of purchase and sale (or assignment of rights) are signed, containing the conditions in which the transaction must occur, including the precedent conditions to closing;
Stage where the transaction is completed upon fulfillment of the precedent conditions provided for under contract.

i. description of research in progress already disclosed
The Officers of the Company note that Petrobras invests in research and development as a way to expand the pursuit for new frontiers of production and to achieve continuous improvements in its operations. The Company has a history of success in the development and deployment of innovative technologies, as for example in the areas of drilling, completion and production of wells in deep waters. The Brazilian concession contracts for oil and gas require that we make investments of at least 1% of gross revenues of the concession resulting from high-productivity oil fields in research and development. Out of these funds, up to half can be invested in their own research facilities in Brazil and the rest must be invested in Brazilian universities and institutions registered with ANP for this purpose.
Petrobras operates a research and development center, CENPES, dedicated to its activities, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil since 1963. In 2010, the Company inaugurated its expansion, doubling the capacity of its laboratories, projecting it as the largest research complex in the southern hemisphere, with some laboratories especially dedicated to pre-salt technologies. In December 2017, Cenpes had 1301 employees, of whom 1197 dedicated exclusively to the area of R&D, 23% of which holders of Master’s degrees and 14% holders of of Doctorates. Cenpes operates in partnership with more than 100 universities and research institutions, both national and foreign, suppliers and other operators, and aims to develop technologies to facilitate compliance with the Business and Management Plan, in addition to anticipate trends and invest in technological routes aligned to Strategic Planning.
The main results in research and development obtained by Petrobras in 2017 were:
Use of the ICARO Program, an internally developed software to optimize water injection in wells in the field of Albacora Leste, enabling the incorporation of 6.56 million boe to total reserves in this field; Development of equipment to evaluate injectivity and stability of chemical products, reducing the risk of loss of production in the pre-salt layer and generating gain estimated at US$ 30 million;
Multiphase pumping technology, implemented in a mature onshore field, generating gains of R$ 10 million/year by the increase of oil production in the order of 30%;
Control of fouling in heat exchangers of the production plant in FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis in the pre-salt layer, through the selection and

LOGO

specification of new inhibitor, preventing shutdown of equipment for chemical cleaning, with benefits of approximately US$ 95 million/year; Bypass of the Sulfate Removal Unit(URS), performed with success in P-58, based on a study by CENPES, providing in a year and a half an additional
5.5 million barrels of oil produced due to 30% higher operational
efficiency, arising from the injection of water without restrictions;
Availability of Diverless Bell Mouth technology, an equipment designed to reduce the need for actions of divers in the well interconnection maneuvers, generating an estimated potential benefit of at S$ 3.2 million per FPSO by reducing the downtime of the maneuvers awaiting diving conditions;
Development of the first cooling water catchment made of relief hoses, as an alternative to imported rigid piping. The installation on P-25 generated approximately R$ 4.5 million in savings on materials, with 100% local content;
Use of the CORE program (Schedule of oils and resources), developed by us, has enabled the optimization of planning, procurement and allocation of drilling rigs for the fields of Libra and Libra 2, generating potential savings of R$ 3 million;
Deployment of the PEROLA System, a type of PIG (tool for internal inspection of ducts in the oil and gas industry) capable of measuring through the use of laser, the internal geometry of ducts, to identify internal corrosion and changes in thickness or geometry. In the inspection of a burn-off furnace in REFAP alone, the use of the tool enabled cost reductions of approximately R$ 260 thousand to the provision of services, providing accurate information about the dimensional integrity of piping and allowing operational continuity;
Revalidation of repairs in defective metal pipes, through analysis of the structural integrity of the repair systems. This revalidation has avoided the exchange of piping in the scheduled outage of Platform PCE-1, prolonging their time of use for three more years with the possibility of new revalidation in 2020, generating savings in the order of R$ 2 million; Development of the Scenario system, a software that assists in the incorporation of the environmental variable in decision-making over the development of E&P projects in offshore areas, allowing the assessment of potential environmental impact of technologies on biological groups and marine habitats, at various stages of an activity;
Revision of the models of planning tools for better representation of the processing with oil loads from the pre-salt, identifying the influence of quality of gasoils in the process of Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC). The revision resulted in increased revenues of US$ 23 million a year, through exchanges between exported and processed crude oil;
Development of a device that reduces the instabilities in the offload of piping in Hydrotreatment Units, reducing the economic losses in production, due to the limitation of flow and the quality of the load, generating estimated gains of up to R$160 million/year.

The Company discloses this item information about expenditure on advertising, sponsorships, partnerships and agreements, as well as the criteria used by Petrobras to allocated funds for such expenses:
Sponsorship
The sponsorship policy of Petrobras is structured from continuous corporate programs that define the strategies and priorities of activity of the company in the cultural, social, environmental, and sports areas.

Petrobras develops the following sponsorship programs in the cultural and sports spheres:
Petrobras Cultural Program (sponsorship program of Petrobras to the arts and culture). Cultural sponsorships are made to Brazilian projects with highlighted cultural value, that are innovative, with high potential return and alignment to the brand strategy of Petrobras. The sponsored projects follow lines of action with focus on Music, Performing Arts and Audiovisual Media, including the sponsorship to the production, circulation and expansion of access to cultural products, support for cultural venues, festivals and maintenance of groups, among others.

ANNEX III
Item 5.3 of the “Formulário de Referência”
5.3 - Description of the internal controls
a) The main practices of internal controls and the degree of efficiency of such controls, indicating any imperfections and the steps taken to correct them:
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls related to the preparation and disclosure of consolidated financial statements and the assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls at entity , operational, financial, and information technology levels related to the process of preparation and disclosure of said statements, in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the preparation and disclosure process of consolidated financial statements , in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Due to its inherent limitations, internal controls applied in the preparation and disclosure processes of consolidated financial statements might not prevent or detect inaccurate statements in a timely manner, regardless of how well designed and executed. Therefore, even when those systems are considered effective, they can provide only reasonable assurance in relation to the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions or the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), performs review of its materiality and specific risks, as well as mapping of processes, systems and key controls. Internal controls are annually self-evaluated by the Company’s managers (control self-assessment), reviewed on the adequacy of the design and tested for operational efficiency, by our internal auditors.
Management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. Based on this assessment using the classification of internal control weakness set by the Brazilian standard NBC TA 265 (Brazilian Standard Accounting 265), and due to significant deficiencies not remedied, Management has concluded that the internal control over the Company’s financial reporting were fully effective on December 31, 2017.
During the assessment of internal control over the Company’s financial reporting were fully effective on December 31, 2016, the administration has identified significant deficiencies

LOGO

which, however, did not generate impacts on financial reports. During the year of 2017, the administration has implemented efforts to remedy the significant shortcomings identified in
2016, as described below.
1) Assets
As reported of previous years, Management has identified deficiencies in controls that represented a significant deficiency concerning fixed assets, due to identification of potential risks arising from the financial and economic situation of suppliers. Such deficiencies resulted in failures in the identification of the need to write-off specific advances to suppliers, which would not result in future economic benefits and in the identification of the need to recognize expenses for the breach of such agreements.
In an effort to remedy such significant deficiencies, the Board adopted as measured in 2017 the improvement of procedures and the strengthening of controls relating to advances granted to suppliers and the provisioning of evictions. Were implemented actions associated with the identification of potential suppliers with financial difficulties, the strengthening of activities of provisioning of advances to suppliers, as well as the improvement in the procedures for monitoring and analysis of the processes of recruitment and execution of agreements.
Based on these actions and the evaluation of the effectiveness of our controls, management has concluded that a significant deficiency was remedied on 31 December 2017.
2) Contingent provisions and liabilities of contentious nature
In 2015 and 2016, Management identified deficiencies in design related to the controls to capture and record judicial proceedings to which the Company is a party. Additionally, a deficiency was identified related to the adequate posting of the classification of likelihood of contingency loss as likely, possible or remote. In specific cases, control operation did not guarantee with precision the change of classification of likelihood of loss for specific contingencies.
In response to the significant deficiency identified, Management adopted actions to remedy the deficiencies and standardize the operation of controls, resulting in improvements to the design of processes, internal controls, and internal procedures for contingent provisions and liabilities, among which the following stand out:
Strengthening the standardization of technical guidelines and standards adopted in the Petrobras System to the litigation, by means of common corporate rule;

Revision and improvement of the design of internal processes, contemplating analytical workflows more activities to which was incorporated into the matrix of risks and controls revised and expanded;
Incorporation into the system of internal controls of the external data monitoring by specialized company recognized in the market, in order to capture new processes distributed directly The databases of the Brazilian courts, even before the citation of the Petrobras;
Incorporation into the system of internal controls of additional monitoring of external data through the distribution of certificates obtained directly from the courts or districts residually not covered by the contractor;
Creation of a monthly reconciliation control for the database of company systems, in order to mitigate risks in tax, royalties, and government participation contingencies.
Based on these actions and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of controls, Management has concluded that a significant deficiency was remedied on December 31, 2017. The set of actions and procedures adopted mitigate the risks and problems identified in previous exercises on the theme and is aligned with the corporate governance practices cited in item
12.13 of the Reference Form.
3) Calculation of Company net actuarial liability
In 2015 and 2016, the Company identified deficiencies in the process to generate data used to calculate actuarial liability related to its health plan (AMS) and the pension plan (Petros). These deficiencies referred to the totality of the sample and the accuracy of its individual information in the databases used for actuarial calculation. These deficiencies have not had an impact on financial statements in 2015 and 2016.
In response to these deficiencies, Management has adopted measures in relation to the internal controls related to data base, as described below:
- Improvement of internal controls and procedures, strengthening the analysis and review of relevant information to the database;
- Enhancement of alignment between the different systems, including third party systems, involved in the overall scenario;
- Implementation of procedures to improve the reliability of information from the health care plan system (AMS) and the pension plan system (Petros);

- Re-registration of health plan participants. This re-registration will take place in waves, starting with participants whose charging method occurs by issuance of bank bills.
Additionally, in 2016 the company identified deficiencies in its controls over the monitoring of specific benefit plans assets managed by Petros and their adjusted reflexes in Petrobras’ financial statements.
In response to remaining deficiencies as of December 31, 2017, with respect to the collateral assets of FundaçãonPetros, Petrobras, in its supervisory role, will have access to information from Petros’ internal controls area and will periodically assess through its Petros Surveillance Commission and Advising to Board of Directors, the improvement actions of to Petros’ control environment, in order to preserve its interests as sponsor.
Based on these actions and in the evaluation of the effectiveness of controls, Management concluded that a significant deficiency was remedied on December 31, 2017.

In previous years, we identified deficiencies in the operation of controls related to procedures to grant access and analysis of segregation of duties in specific transactions which, when assessed collectively, constituted a significant deficiency.
Were identified control deficiencies related to the management, review and monitoring of access, including critical functions and segregation of duties in business processes within the Enterprise Resource Planning - ERP environment (corporate management system).
This control deficiency did not have material impact on financial statements of previous years.
In 2017, the Company took actions to remedy control deficiencies, including the improvement of procedures and automation in the user access management to the ERP environment.
Management created a group of work improve the design of the controls relating to the deficiencies identified, whose actions to remediate were:
Review of the methodology of risk management related to access control functions to the ERP environment, aiming to implement a process of evaluation of the risk of segregation of duties and access to critical systems. These methodologies were did for respective managers, considering transactions, objects and values. This review included our areas of business risk, compliance, and Security of Information
