What are the financial statements?

• Financial statements provide information about the company's financial situation and its net

income (or loss), allowing management, creditors (banks and suppliers), and regulatory

entities (stock exchanges and government agencies) to know information about PEMEX's

assets, liabilities and performance.

• All economic transactions carried out by Petróleos Mexicanos must be recorded in the

accounts and consequently form part of the financial statements.

• In the case of PEMEX, general provisions applicable to securities issuers and other

participants in the securities market, known in Mexico as Círcular Única de Emisoras,

establish that financial statements must be prepared in accordance with International

Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Financial statement objectives

The financial statements meet two main objectives:

1. To measure the operational and financial performance of the company in a specific period;

and

2. To quantify the present value of the company considering prospective analysis of assets and

liabilities valuation in the short, medium, and long term, so valuation variables are used that

do not necessarily generate cash flow, for example, asset impairment, exchange profit or loss

on account balances denominated in foreign currency (mainly debt), well plugging, among

others.

Considerations on the interpretation of the financial statements

• Since PEMEX is a company regulated under IFRS, its accounting and therefore the financial

statements recognize the use of concepts that do not generate cash flow as part of its results.

• For purposes of correctly measuring the profitability and value generation of the company, it is

necessary to establish indicators that allow isolating the effects of such concepts for an

adequate interpretation of the business performance.

• For many years there has been the misconception that PEMEX does not generate value

and is not profitable. This fallacy was consolidated over more than a decade, a period in

which the financial statements began to report "accounting losses".

• A reflection based on real and documented evidence would be appropriate. We believe

that it is fair that Petróleos Mexicanos be recognized as a fundamental pillar in the

construction of the contemporary Mexican State.

• This false idea that the company does not generate value has its origin in part in the way

the financial statements are prepared, since in some cases the current value of the

company's assets and liabilities is quantified using accounting concepts that do not

generate cash flow, such as asset impairment and foreign exchange gain or loss on

balances in foreign currency (mainly debt).

EBITDA Margin 2019

(% EBITDA/Sales)1• The EBITDA margin is a standard indicator at the international

level that allows us to measure how much cash, associated with

the operation, is generated by each weight of income earned

and allows us to compare our profitability with other oil

companies.

• This indicator reflects the profits or earnings that the company

obtains, before payment of interest, taxes and other accounting

expenses, such as depreciation and amortization of fixed assets

in proportion to its total sales.

• For 2019, the result reflects a competitive position of PEMEX,

being above the average of relevant oil companies in the

industry.

• With the above, Petróleos Mexicanos shows the capacity to

generate value under this standard measure of profitability.

• Net income is the final profit or loss that the company obtains from its operations after

operating expenses, financial expenses, and taxes.

• Generally speaking, subtracting depreciation, financial expenses, and taxes from

EBITDA results in net income.

• Unlike other companies in the industry, a particular feature of PEMEX's income

statements is the tax distortion.

• While other O&G companies tax primarily on the profit generated, PEMEX taxes

directly on the income associated with the level of production of hydrocarbons,

which generates the payment of duties.

• For the group of companies presented,

the average proportion of taxes and

duties on EBITDA is 36.2%.

• That is, PEMEX generates value for

• PEMEX’s reached its greatest accounting

losses, measured by comprehensive loss,

during 2014 and 2015.

• However, comprehensive income (loss) should

be taken with care, since it is a mix of variables

that generate cash flow and others are non-

cash items.

• In other words, this item does not reflect

PEMEX’s profitability during the period.

Example #1: actuarial loss

• The actuarial gains or losses are the changes in

the present value of the obligation due to changes

in the actuarial assumptions, in this case the

discount rate used went from 9.29% in December

2018 to 7.53% in December 2019, i.e. a decrease

of 176 basis points that generated an impact of

MXN 320 billion of actuarial losses.

• In 2018, the discount rate increased and

generated an actuarial income of MXN 231 million.

• This change, according to the accounting

technique, is recorded in Equity, but does not

constitute a cash flow variable except if on

December 31, 2019 all the company's labor

liabilities had been settled.

Example #2: financial cost increase

1. Lease interests. As of 2019, the IFRS 16 "Leases" came into effect, which establishes that

for all service contracts involving the use and control of a specific asset, an asset must be

recorded for the right to use that asset and a liability for the lease, the valuation of the liability

is made at a discounted value and a financial cost is recognized for its updating, this item

reached in 2019 an amount of MXN 5,403.89 million.

2. Financing cost for wells plugging. PEMEX is responsible for the plugging of the wells that it

abandons. A liability must be registered for the amount of the obligations that it must pay for

leaving the exploited areas in original conditions, and update that provision using a discount

rate (the average discount rate for 2018 was 13.5% and 10.6% for 2019).

The effects of the restatement of financing cost do not represent a cash flow per se, since it is

an obligation that will be paid when the wells are abandoned and there is an obligation to plug

them. In 2019, the financial cost of this provision was MXN 18,401 million.

Example #2: financial cost increase

• The interest cost of the debt decreases in

2019.

• However, by 2019, the accounting standard

incorporates as financial cost the concept of

lease interest that increases the total financial

cost.

• Finally, the concept of well plugging is

included, which is a non-cash item but has a

negative impact of MXN 18,401 million.

Why are the results of 2019 so different from those of 2014

and 2015?

• Oil production was falling.

• The 1P reserves fell.

• Investment was falling at a rate of -13.2%.

• In 2015 PEMEX registered a net debt of

MXN 486 billion

• The tax burden remained unchanged.

• Sales costs grew.

• The decline in oil production was stopped.

• By January 2020, production increased by

101 Mbd.

• 1P reserves grow by almost 180 Mmboe.

• Investment grew by 13.6%.

• PEMEX recorded a net debt reduction of

MXN 29 billion.

• The Profit-sharing duty tax burden for 2020

and 2021 decreases by 7 and 4%

respectively.

• Administration costs and expenses are

decreasing.

Concluding remarks

• If in the last decade PEMEX had not had a confiscatory tax regime, its financial statements would

reflect positive results.

• Under this "accounting loss" model, the Mexican State has captured oil income via taxes. However,

this model forced PEMEX to get into debt in order to bear the fiscal burden, a decision that is clearly

irrational and inefficient, because PEMEX's debt is more expensive than the debt contracted by the

federal government.

• This government made the historic decision to reduce PEMEX's excessive fiscal burden.

• At the end of 2019, at the request of the Executive, the Congress of the Union approved the initiative

of a Law to modify the rate of the Profit-Sharing Duty, which represents more than 80 percent of the

direct tax burden of the company.

• With this initiative, the tax rate was reduced from 65 to 58 percent by 2020 and there will be an

additional reduction of 4 percent in 2021.

• For the company, these reductions in the tax burden, will mean savings of approximately MXN 45

billion in 2020, and almost MXN 95 billion in 2021.

Variations

If no further specification is included, comparisons are made against the same realized period of the last year.

Rounding

Numbers may not total due to rounding.

Financial Information

Excluding budgetary and volumetric information, the financial information included in this report and the annexes hereto is based on unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International

Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), which PEMEX has adopted effective January 1, 2012. Information from prior periods has been retrospectively adjusted in certain accounts to make it comparable with the unaudited consolidated financial information under IFRS. For more information

regarding the transition to IFRS, see Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements included in Petróleos Mexicanos’ 2012 Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its Annual Report filed with the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (CNBV).

EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure. We show a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income in Table 32 of the annexes to PEMEX’s Results Report as of December 31, 2019. Budgetary information is based on standards from Mexican governmental accounting; therefore, it does not include

information from the subsidiary companies or affiliates of Petróleos Mexicanos. It is important to mention, that our current financing agreements do not include financial covenants or events of default that would be triggered as a result of our having negative equity.

Methodology

We might change the methodology of the information disclosed in order to enhance its quality and usefulness, and/or to comply with international standards and best practices.

Foreign Exchange Conversions

Convenience translations into U.S. dollars of amounts in Mexican pesos have been made at the exchange rate at close for the corresponding period, unless otherwise noted. Due to market volatility, the difference between the average exchange rate, the exchange rate at close and the spot

exchange rate, or any other exchange rate used could be material. Such translations should not be construed as a representation that the Mexican peso amounts have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the foregoing or any other rate. It is important to note that we maintain our

consolidated financial statements and accounting records in pesos. As of December 31, 2019, the exchange rate of MXN 18.8452 = USD 1.00 is used.

Fiscal Regime

Beginning January 1, 2015, Petróleos Mexicanos’ fiscal regime is governed by the Ley de Ingresos sobre Hidrocarburos (Hydrocarbons Revenue Law). From January 1, 2006 and to December 31, 2014, PEP was subject to a fiscal regime governed by the Federal Duties Law, while the tax

regimes of the other Subsidiary Entities were governed by the Federal Revenue Law.

On April 18, 2016, a decree was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation that allows assignment operators to choose between two schemes to calculate the cap on permitted deductions applicable to the Profit-Sharing Duty: (i) the scheme established within the Hydrocarbons

Revenue Law, based on a percentage of the value of extracted hydrocarbons; or (ii) the scheme proposed by the SHCP, calculated upon established fixed fees, USD 6.1 for shallow water fields and USD 8.3 for onshore fields.

The Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS) applicable to automotive gasoline and diesel is established in the Production and Services Special Tax Law “Ley del Impuesto Especial sobre Producción y Servicios”. As an intermediary between the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit

(SHCP) and the final consumer, PEMEX retains the amount of the IEPS and transfers it to the Mexican Government. In 2016, the SHCP published a decree trough which it modified the calculation of the IEPS, based on the past five months of international reference price quotes for gasoline

and diesel.

As of January 1 2016, and until December 31, 2017, the SHCP will establish monthly fixed maximum prices of gasoline and diesel based on the following: maximum prices will be referenced to prices in the U.S. Gulf Coast, plus a margin that includes retails, freight, transportation, quality

adjustment and management costs, plus the applicable IEPS to automotive fuel, plus other concepts (IEPS tax on fossil fuel, established quotas on the IEPS Law and value added tax).

PEMEX’s “producer price” is calculated in reference to that of an efficient refinery operating in the Gulf of Mexico. Until December 31, 2017, the Mexican Government is authorized to continue issuing pricing decrees to regulate the maximum prices for the retail sale of gasoline and diesel

fuel, taking into account transportation costs between regions, inflation and the volatility of international fuel prices, among other factors. Beginning in 2018, the prices of gasoline and diesel fuel will be freely determined by market conditions. However the Federal Commission for Economic

Competition, based on the existence of effective competitive conditions, has the authority to declare that prices of gasoline and diesel fuel are to be freely determined by market conditions before 2018.

Hydrocarbon Reserves

In accordance with the Hydrocarbons Law, published in the Official Gazette on August 11, 2014, the National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) will establish and will manage the National Hydrocarbons Information Center, comprised by a system to obtain, safeguard, manage, use,

analyze, keep updated and publish information and statistics related; which includes estimations, valuation studies and certifications. On August 13, 2015, the CNH published the Guidelines that rule the valuation and certification of Mexico’s reserves and the related contingency resources.

As of January 1, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) changed its rules to permit oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose not only proved reserves, but also probable reserves and possible reserves. Nevertheless, any description of probable or

possible reserves included herein may not meet the recoverability thresholds established by the SEC in its definitions. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F and our Annual Report to the CNBV and SEC, available at http://www.pemex.com/.
