Note 2. Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies

2.1 Bases of preparation and presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and for the years and for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – “Interim Financial Reporting”. The Company prepared its interim financial statements on a condensed basis pursuant to IAS 34. Certain explanatory notes are included to describe the events and transactions that are relevant to understand the changes in the financial position as of December 31, 2021, and the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read together with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies as used in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, except for the adoption of the new standards and interpretations effective as of January 1, 2021.

They were prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value. The figures contained herein are stated in US dollars (“US”) and are rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.

2.2 New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB adopted by the Company

The Company did not opt for the early adoption of any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 39: Interest rate benchmark reform

The amendments provide temporary reliefs that address the financial reporting effects when an Interbank Offered Rate (“IBOR”) is replaced by an alternative risk-free (“RFR”) rate.

The amendments include the following alternative treatments:

 

(i)

A practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest;

 

(ii)

Allow the changes required by IBOR reform to be made as hedge designations; and

 

(iii)

Provide companies with a temporary relief from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component.

On December 28, 2021, the Company has agreed with financial entities, that in case of a replacement of a LIBOR rate, the interest rate to be applied will be replaced by the market rate to be published by relevant governmental body, plus a spread adjustment to be determined.

As of the date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements there has not been any changes to the LIBOR rate, nevertheless the Company will continue to monitor any potential impact.

2.3 Basis of consolidation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Other than the transaction mentioned in Note 1.2.4 there were no changes in interest in Company subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2021.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies    

2.4.1 Going concern

The Board oversees the Group’s cash position regularly and liquidity risk throughout the year to ensure that there are sufficient funds to meet expected financing, operating and investing requirements. Sensitivity tests are conducted to disclose the latest expense expectations, oil and gas prices and other factors so that the Group may manage risk.

VISTA OIL & GAS, S.A.B. DE C.V.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and for the years and for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

 

Considering the macroeconomic context, the result of operations and the Group’s cash position, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Directors asserted, upon approving the financial statements, that the Group may reasonably be expected to fulfill its obligations in the foreseeable future. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis.

2.4.2 Impairment testing of goodwill and nonfinancial assets other than goodwill

Nonfinancial assets, including identifiable intangible assets, are tested for impairment at the lowest level in which there are separately identifiable cash flows largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets or Cash Generated Units (“CGUs”). To such end, oil and gas properties in Argentina were grouped into 4 (four) CGUs: (i) operated concessions of conventional oil and gas exploration and production; (ii) operated concessions of unconventional oil and gas exploration and production; (iii) non-operating concessions of conventional oil and gas exploration and production; and; (iv) non-operating concessions of unconventional oil and gas exploration and production. As of December 31, 2020, the Company also identified 2 (two) CGUs in Mexico: (i) non-operating concessions of conventional oil and gas exploration and production; and; (ii) operated concessions of conventional oil and gas exploration and production. Moreover, as of December 31, 2021, and after the transfer of assets the Company has just one CGU in Mexico: (i) operated concessions of conventional oil and gas exploration and production (see Note 1.2.3).

The Company conducts its impairment test of nonfinancial assets when there is an indication that the carrying amount may be impaired. Moreover, Goodwill is tested every December. The Company bases the impairment test on the calculation of value in use and reviews the relationship between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount of its assets.

As of December 31, 2020 the Company identified indications of impairment, but there were no impairment charges with respect to goodwill.

Related to nonfinancial assets other than goodwill, during the year ended as of December 31, 2020, the Company booked an impairment for 14,044 related CGU of operated concessions of conventional oil and gas exploration and production in Mexico, and 394 relating to CGU of non-operating concessions of conventional oil and gas exploration and production in Argentina.

Besides, for the three-month period ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an impairment for 14,044 mentioned above; and reversal in impairment for 3,437 related to the CGU of operated concessions of conventional oil and gas exploration and production; and 1,123 related to the CGU of non-operating concessions of conventional oil and gas exploration and production, both in Argentina.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company identified no indicators of impairment related with goodwill and nonfinancial assets other than goodwill. Moreover, recognized a reversal for 14,044 related to the CGU of operated concessions of conventional oil and gas exploration and production in Mexico, mainly driven by an increase in estimated recoverable volumes and an increase in oil and prices.

2.5 Regulatory framework

2.5.1 General

2.5.1.1 COVID-19 pandemic

In 2020 and 2021 several measures were implemented to contain the health emergency caused by COVID-19 moving from mandatory lockdown to mandatory social distancing. This period may continue to be extended as long as is necessary, to mitigate the epidemiological situation.

 

  A-

Argentina

2.5.2 Gas market

2.5.2.1 Program to promote the injection of natural gas surplus for reduced injection companies (“RI program”)

The RI program was introduced by the Secretariat of Energy (“SE”) in agreement with Resolution No. 60/13 of 2013. This program created price incentives to encourage producing companies’ adherence aimed at boosting natural gas production in Argentina, and LPG import fines in case of volume noncompliance. This resolution, amended by Resolutions No. 22/14 and No. 139/14, set forth a selling price ranging between 4 US/MMBTU and 7.5 US/MMBTU according to the production possibility curve.

On July 1, 2019, through Resolution No. 358/19, the SE advised the Company of the plan for settling the RI program-related receivable. According to such resolution, the Company’s receivable as of that date would be settled with government bonds (“natural gas program bonds”) denominated in US dollars to be amortized within a maximum term of 30 (thirty) instalments.

From the total bonds received by the Company, 4,140 program bonds were amortized during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company carries no receivables from RI Program as of December 31, 2021, whereas plan receivables amount to 4,012 at present value (nominal value of 4,140) as of December 2020 (see Note 16).

2.5.2.2 Argentine promotion plan to stimulate natural gas production: 2020-2024 supply and demand system (“Gas IV Plan”)

On November 13, 2020, through Presidential Decree No. 892/2020, the Argentine Executive approved Gas IV Plan, whereby it declared that the promotion of natural gas production is both a matter of public interest and a priority.

Through Resolution No. 317/2020 of the SE, it invited natural gas producing companies to tender to be awarded 70 billion cubic meters (“bcm”)/day natural gas volume base per year, and an additional volume for each winter period.

On December 15, 2020, through Resolution No. 391/2020, the SE awarded volumes and prices, for which the Company entered into agreements with Compañía Administradora del Mercado Mayorista Eléctrico S.A. (“CAMMESA”), Integración Energética Argentina S.A. (“IEASA”) and other distribution licensees or sub distributors to supply natural gas for electric power generation and residential consumption, respectively.

The Company, through its subsidiary Vista Argentina, was awarded a base volume of 0.86 bcm/day, at an average price of 3.29 US/MMBTU p.a. for a four-year period as from January 1, 2021.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company received a net amount of 3,660 and the receivables related to such plan stand at 1,729 (see Note 16).

Moreover, the Company was also awarded 0.15 bcm/day for exports between January and April 2022 as the SE authorized 5 bcm/day of exports additional to the permits issued pursuant to SE Resolution No. 360/21.

Other than mentioned above, there have been no significant changes in Argentina’s regulatory framework during the year ended December 31, 2021. (For more information, see Note 2.5 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020).

 

  B-

Mexico

There have been no significant changes in Mexico’s regulatory framework during the year ended December 31, 2021. (For more information, see Note 2.5 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020).

Note 3. Segment information

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “Committee” or “CODM”) is in charge of allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segment. It supervises operating profit / (loss) and the performance of the indicators related to its oil and gas properties on an aggregate basis to make decisions regarding the location of resources, negotiate with international suppliers and determine the method for managing contracts with customers.

The CODM considers as a single segment the exploration and production of crude oil, natural gas and LPG (including E&P commercial activities), through its own activities, subsidiaries and interests in joint operations and based on the nature of the business, customer portfolio and risks involved. The Company aggregated no segment as it has only one.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company generated 99% and 1% of its revenues related to assets located in Argentina and Mexico, respectively.

The accounting criteria used by the subsidiaries to measure profit or loss, assets and liabilities of the segments are consistent with those used in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 11. Earnings / (Loss) per share

a) Basic

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s profit or loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year / period.

b) Diluted

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s profit or loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year / period, plus the weighted average of dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Potential ordinary shares will be considered dilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares may reduce earnings per share or increase losses per share. They will be considered antidilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares may result in an increase in earnings per share or a reduction in loss per share.

The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share does not involve a conversion; the exercise or other issue of shares that may have an antidilutive effect on loss per share, or when the exercise price is higher than the average price of ordinary shares during the period, no dilution effect is booked, as diluted earnings (loss) per share is equal to basic earnings (loss) per share.

Note 14. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities

The Company has lease contracts for various items of buildings, and plant and machinery, which were recognized under IFRS 16.

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., on the date when the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, net of the accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and are adjusted by the remeasurement of lease liabilities.

Unless the Company is reasonably certain that it will obtain the ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated under the straight-line method during the shortest of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of the lease payments to be made during the lease term. After the commencement date, of lease liabilities will be increased to reflect the accumulation of interest and will be reduced by the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is an amendment, a change in the lease term, a change in the fixed or in-substance fixed payments or a change in the assessment to buy the underlying asset.

The Company applies the exemption to recognize short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., leases for a term under 12 months as from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). The low-value asset exemption also applies to low-value office equipment items. The lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expenses under the straight-line method during the lease term.

Short-term and low-value lease agreements were recognized under “General and administrative expenses” in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for 152 and 131, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s effective rate was 67%. The significant differences between the effective and statutory rate include (i) changes in the tax rate (see Note 30); (ii) the depreciation of the Argentine peso (“ARS”) with respect to the US dollar affecting the Company’s tax deductions of nonmonetary assets; and (iii) the application of the tax adjustment for inflation in Argentina (for more information see Note 33.1 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020).

Current income tax liability

The reform introduced by Law No. 27,541 in Argentina set forth that for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2021, 100% of the adjustment for inflation should be deducted or levied in the year in which it is determined.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, as a consequence of the assessment of the adjustment for inflation, the income tax base of Vista Argentina, a Company subsidiary, increased considerably due to the disparity in the changes in the consumer price index (“IPC”, by Spanish acronym) and the exchange rate during such period.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

 

Therefore, pursuant to the judgment issued by the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice, the Company understands that the tax adjustment for inflation gives rise to infringements to constitutional rights, principles and guaranties because it levies artificial profit, raising the tax burden, which is constitutionally inadmissible.

In addition, Vista Argentina recognized the effects of inflation upon applying accumulated tax losses to the income tax base for 2021.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

 

The Company sets up a provision for trade receivables when there is information showing that the debtor is facing severe financial difficulties or that there is no realistic probability of recovery, for example, when the debtor goes into liquidation or files for bankruptcy proceedings. Trade receivables that are derecognized are not subject to compliance activities. The Company recognized an allowance for expected credit losses of 100% against all trade receivables that are 90 days past due because based on its history these receivables are generally not recovered.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 provision for expected credit losses was recorder for 406 and 3 respectively.

As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, maximum exposure to credit risk is related to the carrying amount of each class of accounts receivable.

17.4 Fair value

This note includes information on the Company’s method for assessing the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities.

17.4.1 Fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The Company classifies the measurements at fair value of financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy, which shows the relevance of the variables applied to carry out these measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

 

   

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2: data other than the quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly (that is prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices).

 

   

Level 3: data on the asset or liability that are based on information that cannot be observed in the market (that is, non-observable data).

The following chart shows the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:

The value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices as of the date of these accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. A market is considered active when quoted prices are available regularly through a stock exchange, a broker, a specific sector entity or regulatory agency, and these prices reflect regular and current market transactions between parties at arm’s length. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current offer price. These instruments are included in Level 1.

For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data, when available, and minimize the use of Company’s specific estimates. Should all significant variables used to establish the fair value of a financial instrument be observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Should one or more variables used in determining the fair value not be observable in the market, the financial instrument is included in Level 3.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 from December 31, 2020, through December 31, 2021, or from December 31,2019 through December 31, 2020.

The fair value of warrants is determined using the Black & Scholes model considering the expected volatility of the Company’s ordinary shares upon estimating the future volatility of Company share price. The risk-free interest rate for the expected useful life of warrants is based on the available return of benchmark government bonds with an equivalent remainder term upon the grant. The expected life is based on the contractual terms.

The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of warrants as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:

 

     As of
December 31,
2021
  As of
December 31,
2020

Annualized volatility

   39.94%   40.21%

Risk free domestic interest rate

   7.15%   4.34%

Risk free foreign interest rate

   0.55%   0.13%

Remainder useful life in years

   1.29
years
  2.29
years

It is a recurring Level 3 fair value measurement. The key Level 3 inputs used by Management to assess fair value are market price and expected volatility. As of December 31, 2021: (i) should market price increase by 0.10 it would increase the obligation by about 277; (ii) should market price decrease by 0.10 it would drop the obligation by about 258; (iii) should volatility increase by 50 basis points, it would rise the obligation by about 135 and; (iv) should volatility slip by 50 basis points, it would reduce the obligation by about 133.

17.5 Risk management objectives and policies concerning financial instruments

17.5.1 Financial risk factors

The Company’s activities are exposed to several financial risks: market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

Financial risk management is included in the Company’s global policies, and it adopts a comprehensive risk management policy focused on tracking risks affecting the entire Company. This strategy aims at striking a balance between profitability targets and risk exposure levels. Financial risks are derived from the financial instruments to which the Company is exposed during period-end or as of every period-end.

The Company’s Financial Department, controls financial risk by identifying, assessing and covering financial risks. The risk management systems and policies are reviewed regularly to show the changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company reviewed its exposure to financial risk factors and identified no significant changes in the risk analysis included in its annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, except for the following:

17.5.1.1 Market risk

Exchange rate risk

The Company’s financial position and results of operations are sensitive to exchange rate changes between the US dollar and the ARS. As of December 31, 2021, the Company performed foreign exchange currency hedge transactions, and the impact in the results of the year is recognized in “Other financial results”.

Most Company sales are denominated in US dollars, or the changes in sales follow the changes in the US dollar listed price.

During the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, the ARS depreciated by about 22% and 41%, respectively.

The following chart shows the sensitivity to a reasonable change in the exchange rates of the ARS to the US dollar while maintaining the remainder variables constant. Impact on profit before taxes is related to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the US dollar, the Company’s functional currency. The Company’s exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates for the remainder currencies is immaterial.

Interest rate risk

For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 the average interest rate was 40% and 38%, respectively.

The purpose of interest rate risk management is to minimize finance costs and limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate increases.

Variable-rate indebtedness exposes the Company’s cash flows to interest rate risk due to the potential volatility. Fixed-rate indebtedness exposes the Company to interest rate risk on the fair value of its liabilities as they could be considerably higher than variable rates. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, about 16% and 35% of indebtedness was subject to variable interest rates. For the year ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, the variable interest rate of loans denominated in US dollars stood at 4.81% and 5.69%, respectively, and it amounted to 35.55% and 38.81%, respectively, for loans denominated in ARS.

The Company expects to lessen its interest rate exposure by analyzing and assessing (i) the different sources of liquidity available in domestic and international financial and capital markets (if available); (ii) alternative (fixed or variable) interest rates, currencies and contractual terms available for companies in a sector, industry and risk similar to the Company’s; and (iii) the availability, access and cost of interest rate hedge contracts. Hence, the Company assesses the impact on profit or loss of each strategy on the obligations that represent the main positions to the main interest-bearing positions.

In the case of fixed rates and in view of current market conditions, the Company considers that the risk of a major decrease in interest rates is low; therefore, it does not expect substantial fixed rate debt risk.

For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company did not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate interest rate risks.
