PETROBRAS ARGENTINA S.A. Second Quarter 2016 Results

Buenos Aires, July 26, 2016 - Petrobras Argentina S.A. (Buenos Aires: PESA - NYSE: PZE) announces the results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Petrobras Argentina's net income for 2016 second quarter is a gain of ARS 324 million. Net income for the same quarter of 2015 was a gain of ARS 524 million.

Operating income for 2016 quarter increased 28% compared to 2015 quarter and reached ARS 1,122 million in spite of the negative impact of non-recurring charges, mainly the agreement with Methanex for termination of the natural gas supply agreement between the parties, agreements with provincial tax authorities and impairment of fields in Bolivia, accounting for losses of ARS 449 million, ARS 208 million and ARS 210 million, respectively. These effects were partially offset by a gain of ARS 572 million attributable to recognition of the earn-out for the sale of assets in Perú in previous fiscal years.

Financial expenses for 2016 quarter include a charge of ARS 173 million for early prepayment of Series S corporate bonds.

Petrobras Argentina's net income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was ARS 1,255 million and ARS 1,346 million, respectively.
