Business Context and Reporting Period

Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report is a disclosure of a legal event and does not contain financial statement data.
Material Changes
The material change disclosed is a procedural ruling by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued on September 17, 2025. The court denied YPF's request to permanently enjoin plaintiffs (Petersen Energía Inversora S.A.U., Petersen Energía S.A.U., and Eton Park entities) from pursuing recovery against YPF. The court ordered both parties to continue the discovery process. This decision does not determine whether YPF is an alter ego of the Argentine Republic, a claim YPF strongly denies.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
YPF states it will continue to defend itself in accordance with all applicable legal procedures and available defenses. The primary risk highlighted is the ongoing litigation stemming from a September 15, 2023, final judgment against the Argentine Republic, where plaintiffs are pursuing an alter ego theory to recover from YPF. The case is currently pending appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
- Review the September 15, 2023, final judgment against the Argentine Republic to understand the underlying debt claims.
- Assess the potential financial exposure if the alter ego theory is ultimately upheld in future proceedings.
- Monitor the progress of the discovery process ordered by the District Court.
