Ref: : Issuer rating in domestic currency, foreign currency and senior secured debt
Dear Sirs:
We are hereby writing in compliance with the requirements of the Argentine Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores) Rules.
In this regard, Moodys Local Argentina upgraded YPF S.A.s long-term domestic and foreign currency issuer ratings from AA-.ar to AA+.ar, and from A-.ar to AA-.ar, respectively, and upgraded its foreign currency senior secured debt rating from A.ar to AA.ar, all with a stable outlook.
According to the report, the rating upgrade reflects an improvement in the companys credit profile resulted from the higher EBITDA generation, due to a higher level of crude oil processing and production, and higher fuel sales prices, which has allowed the company to increase its CAPEX plan together with an improved liquidity position and a reduction in the level of net indebtedness to levels of around 1.2x EBITDA, maintaining positive free cash flows.
The Moodys Local Argentina report is available in Spanish at https://www.moodyslocal.com/country/ar/ratings/corp, under the heading YPF S.A.
Yours faithfully,
Pablo Calderone |
Market Relations Officer |
