RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The following discussion of Ecopetrol S.A.’s (which we refer to as “Ecopetrol,” the “Company” or “we”) results of operations for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the “SEC”) on April 18, 2024 (which we refer to as the “2023 Form 20-F”) and, in particular, “Business Overview” and “Financial Review” in the 2023 Form 20-F, with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and as of June 30, 2024, included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 6-K (which we refer to as the “unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements”). We hereby designate this report on Form 6-K (which we refer to as this “Form 6-K”) as being incorporated by reference into our registration statement on Form F-3, as filed with the SEC on April 19, 2024 (File No. 333-278823).
Our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 included in the 2023 Form 20-F were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the IASB.
Our consolidated financial statements were consolidated line by line and all transactions and balances among subsidiaries have been eliminated. These financial statements include the financial results of all subsidiary companies controlled, directly or indirectly, by Ecopetrol S.A.
Ecopetrol also files financial information with the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia (the “SFC”), which is prepared in accordance with current reporting standards as in effect in Colombia (“Colombian IFRS”) and are not included in this report on Form 6-K. Ecopetrol’s financial information under Colombian IFRS filed with the SFC is not directly comparable to its financial information presented under IFRS-IASB in this report on Form 6-K or its filings with the SEC.

Overview
Our consolidated financial results for the first six months of 2024 reflect the overall positive effect of favorable crude oil price environment, characterized by higher Brent oil prices during this period as compared to the same period of 2023, despite global geopolitical challenges and inflationary pressures. During the first six months of 2024, crude oil prices averaged US$83.4/bl, an increase of US$3.5/bl as compared to the average price for the first six months of 2023. In addition, our positive results were also driven by various other factors, including increased production in domestic and international operations, higher sales volume and the strong performance of our subsidiaries. See “Ecopetrol’s results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.”
On the demand front, global activity accelerated during the first half of the year, due to a favorable performance in the services sector and, to a lesser extent, in manufacturing. Growth forecasts for the global economy were upgraded, on the back of a favorable performance of the U.S. and Indian economies. Overall, on an annual basis, crude oil demand grew by 1.0 mmbd in the first half of 2024 (according to S&P Global), providing significant support to crude prices.
On the supply front, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (“OPEC”) decisions remain key to maintaining a balanced market. Non-OPEC production growth of 1.0 mmbd, on an annual basis, was fully offset by a 1.0 mmbd reduction in OPEC supply in the first half of 2024, and OPEC announced a new supply cut of 2.2 mmbd in the second half of 2024. Overall, the crude oil market was broadly balanced, despite volatility due to the armed conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Under current Colombian regulations, depending on the price of fuels in the international markets, participants in the Colombian fuel market either contribute to or receive payments from the Fuel Price Stabilization Fund (“FEPC” for its Spanish acronym), a fund assigned and administered by the MHCP to attenuate, in the domestic market, the impact of fluctuations of fuel prices in international markets. As a result, the increase in the Brent price indicator has resulted in an increase in amounts due by the FEPC to Ecopetrol. See “Regulation Concerning Production and Prices—Fuel Price Stabilization Fund (FEPC)” in our 2023 Form 20-F. The remaining balance for the 2023 FEPC accounts receivable was COP 20.5 trillion. In April 2024, Ecopetrol received a COP 7.8 trillion payment in cash, and in June 2024, it received a COP 5.1 trillion equivalent in Colombian Government Bonds (“TES”). Such payments have strengthened our financial and liquidity position as it provides us with more flexibility to pursue our 2024 investment plan. See “Strategy and Market Overview—Our Corporate Strategy—2024 Investment Plan” in our 2023 Form 20-F. As of July 30, 2024, the cumulative balance of the FEPC account receivable was COP 12.8 trillion (including COP 7.5 trillion for the FEPC accounts receivable), of which COP 4.7 trillion was paid in September 2024 and COP 2.8 trillion is scheduled to be paid in December 2024 in TES.
On June 14, 2024, the Government announced an update to the Medium-Term Fiscal Framework (“MFMP”, for its acronym in Spanish), a document that establishes the macroeconomic and fiscal strategy for the country in the medium term, including an exhaustive analysis of the FEPC situation, given its important fiscal implications. In line with the MFMP update, in 2024, the Government settled approximately COP 13.0 trillion with the FEPC corresponding to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Although we can offer no assurance, the MFMP update also anticipated a gradual convergence of domestic and international liquid fuel prices, and a structural reform to the fund that guarantees self-sustainability, which occurrence we believe could help reduce the impact of FEPC-related accounts receivable on our working capital.
Public Investigations
On July 4, 2023, the National Electoral Council opened a proceeding for alleged irregularities in the financing and presentation of the income and expenditure report of Mr. Gustavo Petro’s 2022 presidential campaign, of which Mr. Ricardo Roa Barragán was the campaign manager. According to public records, the National Electoral Council is expected to hold an audience on October 8, 2024 to discuss a draft decision prepared by Judges Alvaro Hernán Prada and Benjamin Ortiz ordering the initiation of a formal investigation against Mr. Gustavo Petro and Mr. Ricardo Roa Barragán. See “Risk Review – Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business – We are exposed to public investigations of control entities that may impact our reputation” in our 2023 Annual Report.

Board Resignations
On August 30, 2024, Ecopetrol announced that Juan José Echavarría and Luis Alberto Zuleta had presented their resignations from Ecopetrol’s Board of Directors and committees, due to their dissent with respect to certain business decisions adopted by Ecopetrol’s Board of Directors. Their resignation will become effective on the date that the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors and Support Committees in which they participated prior to the presentation of their resignation are approved.
2040 Strategy
Following the 2040 Strategy, as of December 31, 2023, Ecopetrol is organized into three corporate business lines: (A) Hydrocarbons, which includes four operational divisions: (i) Exploration and Production, (ii) Transportation and Logistics, (iii) Refining Petrochemicals and Biofuels, (iv) and Sales and Marketing; (B) Low Emissions Solutions, which includes natural gas, biogas, LPG, power, renewables, hydrogen and CCUS; and (C) Transmission and Toll Roads. Also, as a response of the 2040 Strategy, in 2022 we started a process to align our current segments more closely to the vision of the 2040 Strategy and such process has continued to date. However, for purposes of this report, the financial information is organized by the following segments: (i) exploration and production, (ii) transportation and logistics, (iii) refining and petrochemicals, and (iv) energy transmission and roads, which is consistent with previous Company reports, including its 2023 Form 20-F. The Company’s management is currently reviewing different options to update the operating and financial reporting model of the Company to be better aligned with the 2040 Strategy’s lines of business.

| Transportation | | 1,384,099 | | 1,519,252 | | (8.9) |
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, total revenues decreased by 12.7% or COP 9,292,778 million as compared to the same period in 2023, as a result of:
| ● | A COP 8,340,181 million decrease in revenues, resulting from the depreciation of the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar from an average exchange rate of COP 4,595.11/US$1.00 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 to an average exchange rate COP 3,920.48/US$1.00 for the same period in 2024. |
|---|---|
| ● | A COP 1,917,793 million decrease in revenues attributable to a 3.3% decrease in sales volume, or 32.8 mboed, primarily as a result of the combined net effect of: |
| --- | --- |
| - | Lower volumes sold of crude oil by 17.6 mboed, or COP 869,107 million, primarily attributable to: (i) lower sales volume due to decreased deliveries to customers, and (ii) increased volume of crude cargoes in Transit as a result of commercial strategic in that were negotiated under the Delivery At Place (DAP) modality. This decrease was partially offset by increased in crude oil production mainly from the Permian basin. |
| --- | --- |
| - | Lower volumes sold of refined products and petrochemicals by 16.4 mboed, or COP 1,000,900 million, due to decreased sales of diesel and gasoline, primarily due to the weakening of domestic fuel demand, which in turn was mainly due to lower economic activity as a result of with price increases of gasoline. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in sales of middle distillates, due to higher domestic demand associated with thermal generation and industrial burner requirements. |
| --- | --- |
| - | Lower volumes sold of gas by 1.3 mboed, or COP 47,786 million, principally due to the decrease in demand mainly due to the termination of third-party contracts and a decrease in gas available, primarily from the Cusiana and Cupiagua fields, due to the natural decline of the fields. |
| --- | --- |
| - | A COP 467,860 million decrease in revenues primarily due to the revaluation of the Colombian peso against other currencies in regions where ISA operates. |
| --- | --- |
7
Such factors were partially offset by a COP 1,433,056 million increase in revenues primarily due to a 2.2%, or US$1.7 per barrel, increase to the average prices of our crude oil basket, natural gas and refining products driven by higher Brent benchmark prices and stronger negotiated crude oil spreads versus Brent.
Costs of Sales and Expenses
The following table sets forth the components of our cost of sales, and operation and project, administration and other operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

| | | (in millions of Colombian pesos) | | | ||
| Fixed cost of sales | | 12,159,452 | | 11,507,880 | | 5.7 |
| Variable cost of sales | | 27,484,067 | | 32,757,351 | | (16.1) |
| Total cost of sales | | 39,643,519 | | 44,265,231 | | (10.4) |
| Operation and project, administration and other operating expenses | | 4,948,341 | | 4,669,211 | | (6.0) |
| Total Costs of Sales and Expenses | | 44,591,860 | | 48,934,442 | | (8.9) |
Cost of sales
Our total cost of sales is comprised of a fixed portion and a variable portion:
Our fixed cost of sales includes, among other items, contracted services, labor costs, maintenance, taxes and depreciation. Our fixed cost of sales increased by 5.7% or COP 651,572 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, in part due to the combined net effect of:
| ● | A COP 381,763 million increase in the costs of professional services, maintenance and other operational activity costs, primarily as a result of (i) the increased execution of operational activities and production, (ii) price increases for supplies as a consequence of periodic adjustments pursuant to contractual provisions with inflationary effects on costs. |
|---|---|
| ● | A COP 152,596 million decrease in depreciation and amortization mainly due to: (i) increased levels of capital expenditures, and (ii) increased crude oil production in the Permian basin and Ecopetrol S.A. The foregoing was partially offset by the effect of the depreciation of the average exchange rate of the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar on the appreciation registered by Ecopetrol S.A.’s subsidiaries that use the U.S. dollar as functional currency. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | A COP 170,306 million increase in labor costs mainly due to salary increases compared to the previous year and a greater workforce; and |
| --- | --- |
| ● | A COP 252,099 million increase in other minor items, such as higher payments of hydrocarbon transportation services, taxes and contributions and construction services. |
| --- | --- |
8
Our variable cost of sales includes, among other items, purchases of hydrocarbons from the Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos (the “National Agency of Hydrocarbons” or “ANH”), purchases of crude oil from business partners, imported products, hydrocarbon transportation services, depletion of fields and inventories. Our variable cost of sales decreased by 16% or COP 5,273,284 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily as a result of:
| ● | A COP 4,208,613 million decrease in the purchase costs of crude oil, gas and refined products, mainly due to the net effect of: |
|---|---|
| - | A COP 3,494,649 million decrease as a result of the depreciation of the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar from an average exchange rate of COP 4,595.11/US$1.00 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 to an average exchange rate COP 3,920.48/US$1.00 for the same period in 2024; |
| --- | --- |
| - | A COP 1,739,893 million decrease in volumes purchased from third parties, mainly due to (i) lower imported refined products, which in turn was a result of lower fuel import requirements to meet the economic reactivation in the domestic market and (ii) the scheduled maintenance at our refineries; and |
| --- | --- |
| - | A COP 1,025,931 million increase in costs related to the purchase of crude oil, gas and refined products, primarily due to higher average purchase prices in line with the increase in international benchmark prices during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | A COP 1,978,112 million decrease due to decreased realization of inventories as a result of (i) a decrease in refined products volumes, which in turn was primarily due to decrease in domestic gasoline demand, and (ii) an increase in the inventory of crude oil as a result of larger volumes of crude oil in cargoes in transit (which were negotiated under the delivery-at-place (DAP) modality). |
| --- | --- |
| ● | A COP 172,937 million decrease in electric energy costs, primarily due to lower energy rates and decreased purchases in the National Electric System (SEN) mainly as a result of the unavailability of certain of our electricity generation plants during the first three months of 2023 mainly due to scheduled maintenance. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | A COP 141,426 million decrease in other minor items. |
| --- | --- |
The above items were partially offset by:
| ● | A COP 187,381 million increase in the payment of gas royalties in cash, a result of increased production and a higher settlement price compared to same period in 2023. |
|---|---|
| ● | A COP 89,821 million increase in transportation costs, mainly due to: (i) higher volumes transported through our systems, (ii) the negative effect on our Colombian peso costs in U.S. dollar terms of the depreciation of the average exchange rate of the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar; and (iii) the annual increase of pipeline fees in accordance with applicable Colombian regulation. |
| --- | --- |
Operation and project, administration and other operating expenses
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, our operation and project, administration and other operating expenses increased by 6.0% or COP 279,130 million, mainly due to:
| ● | A COP 326,142 million increase in exploration expenses, mainly due to the recognition of higher exploration asset write-offs and other unsuccessful exploratory activities; |
|---|---|
| ● | A COP 79,706 million increase in other minor items. |
| --- | --- |
9
The factors discussed above were partially offset by:
| ● | A COP 102,204 million decrease in general expenditures, mainly due to capitalizable projects in the first six months of 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023; |
|---|---|
| ● | A COP 67,587 million decrease in commissions, fees, freights, services and general expenses of customs operation. |
| --- | --- |
(Impairment) recovery of non-current assets
In the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 we did not recognize significant impairment expenses or reversals, as there were no trigger events that required the recognition of additional impairments to those recorded at the end of 2023 and 2022.
Financial results
The following table sets forth our financial results for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

(1)Includes the financial expenses related to updating abandonment costs liabilities, and the interest cost, net of post-employment benefits and other long-term employee benefits.
(2)Includes financial cost from other liabilities for the six-month periods ending on June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Our financial results (expense) increased by COP 542,671 million, primarily as a result of the net effect of:
| ● | A COP 106,708 million increase in interest expenses and other financial cost due to higher levels of debt and rising interest rates, offset by a lower exchange rate; and |
|---|---|
| ● | A COP 66,014 million increase in other minor items. |
| --- | --- |
These increases were partially offset by a COP 501,977 million decrease due to foreign exchange gains as a result of the depreciation of the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar;
Profit before income taxes
Profit before income taxes decreased by 26.2% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, as a result of the above-mentioned factors.
Income tax
The effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was 44.2% and 31.9%, respectively. The 12.4% increase in the effective tax rate during 2024 is mainly due to (i) the deductibility of the cost of royalties (ii) no obligation to pay the special contribution for construction agreements during 2024 (as opposed to 2023), which corresponds to a non-deductible expense, and (iii) better results obtained by Ecopetrol’s subsidiaries and affiliates, whose nominal income tax rate is less than 35%.
10
Net profit attributable to equity holders of Ecopetrol
As a result of the foregoing, net profit attributable to the owners of Ecopetrol decreased by 22.6% or COP 2,761,519 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 were: (i) net cash provided by operating activities in an amount of COP 23,083,805 million, (ii) cash obtained by the entering into new financing arrangements for an amount of COP 1,939,267 million, (iii) dividends received from Ecopetrol’s subsidiaries in an amount of COP 213,046 million, and (iv) other investment activities in an amount of COP 153,965 million.
Our principal uses of liquidity in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 were: (i) COP 1,632,287 million for payments of principal and payments of interest of our debt, (ii) COP 8,901,274 million for investments in natural and environmental resources and reserves, and additions to our property, plant and equipment and intangibles, and (iii) dividend payments amounting to COP 12,192,292 million.
For 2024, on a consolidated basis, we expect our major cash needs to include planned capital expenditures ranging between US$5.5 billion (COP 22,814,220 million) and US$6.6 billion (COP 27,377,064 million).
Use of Funds
Capital Expenditures
We plan to meet our budgeted organic capital expenditures for 2024 mainly through cash from internal cash generation.
Cash provided by operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by 343% or COP 17,874,889 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, mainly as a result of (i) positive performance in most of our segments as described above, and (ii) a decrease in accounts receivable due from the FEPC and the corresponding payments made by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit.
Cash used in investing activities
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities increased by 3.5% or COP 291,916 million as compared to the same period in 2023. This increase is mainly the result of purchase of financial instruments and lower interest received. This increase was partially offset by lower investments in Natural Resources and Intangibles.
Cash used in (provided by) financing activities
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was COP 14,121,927 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of COP 351,645 million for the same period in 2023, which represents an increase in cash used of COP 13,770,282 million, mainly due to: i) a COP 9,631,724 increase as a result of the payment of dividends, (ii) a COP 375,811 million increase in interest payments, and (iii) a COP 23,925 million increase due to other items. These factors were partially offset by a COP 3,738,822 million decrease related to the proceeds from borrowings net of payments.

Dividends
On March 22, 2024, the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting approved the plan for distribution of Ecopetrol S.A.’s profits for the 2023 fiscal year, which included the distribution of dividends for an aggregate amount of COP 12,828,409 million, which comprised an ordinary dividend per share of COP 278 and an extraordinary dividend per share of COP 34, for a total dividend of COP 312 per share. Dividends to minority shareholders were paid in two equal installments, as follows: April 3 and June 26, 2024. In the case of dividends to be paid to the majority shareholder, the plan is to offset the dividends to be paid against the balance of the account receivable from the majority shareholder, in relation to the Fuel Price Stabilization Fund (FEPC) no later than December 31, 2024.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, a total amount of COP 12,192,292 million in cash dividends have been paid to our shareholders.
The COP 12,192,292 million cash dividends mentioned above have been distributed as follows:

These standards are based on the International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS and its Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and other applicable legal provisions for supervised entities and/or controlled by the General Accounting Office of the Nation. Some accounting standards and financial information accepted in Colombia (Colombian IFRS) may differ in certain aspects from IFRS as issued by the IASB.

| 3. | Material accounting judgments and estimates |
|---|
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires that the Company’s Management make judgments, estimates and assumptions to quantify some of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and commitments recognized in the consolidated financial statements and their disclosures. These estimates have been made based on the best information available on the facts analyzed, management experience and other factors at the date of preparation of the financial statements. Uncertainty about assumptions and estimates could result in future material changes affecting the value of assets or liabilities. Changes in these estimates are recognized prospectively in the period in which they are reviewed.
As of the date of this report, there have been no changes in the material accounting estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the financial statements as of December 31, 2023.
| 4. | Accounting policies |
|---|
The Group’s main accounting policies are described in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, and for the year then ended, and they have been applied consistently for the period comprising these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2024.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annuals, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023.
| 5. | New standards |
|---|---|
| 5.1. | New standards adopted by the Group, effective as of January 1, 2024 |
| --- | --- |
The IASB issued amendments to the following standards with application as of January 1, 2023:
Amendment to IAS 1 - Classifications of liabilities as current or non-current, modifies the requirement to classify a liability as current, by establishing that a liability is classified as current when it does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer the liquidation of the liability during, at least, the twelve months following the date of the reporting period. This amendment is effective since January 1, 2023. In addition, on October 31, 2022, IASB issued an amendment on non-current liabilities with agreed conditions and modified the effective date to January 1, 2024.
IAS 12 Amendment: The IASB issued the amendment in May 2023, which provides to the companies a temporary exemption from accounting of deferred taxes arising from the international tax reform of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which published the rules to ensure that large multinational companies would be subject to a minimum tax rate of 15%.
IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts, provides a new general model for accounting for contracts by combining a measurement of the current balance of insurance contracts with the recognition of earnings during the period in which the services are rendered. The standard’s general model requires that insurance contract liabilities be measured using current weighted probability estimates of future cash flows, a risk adjustment, and a contractual service margin that represents the expected gain from fulfilling the contracts. The effects of changes in the estimates of future cash flows and the risk adjustment related to future services are recognized during the period in which the services are rendered and not immediately in profit loss statement.
IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4 - Insurance Contracts and will be effective for the subsidiaries Black Gold Re and Linear Systems Re Ltd for the financial reporting period beginning January 1, 2023. The assessment of the impact of IFRS 17 do not have a significant effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements, considering that most of the insurance contracts are short-term and would be managed by the PPA methodology - Simplified allocation of premiums. 10

The following limited-scope amendments, with comprehensive and anticipated voluntary application:
| ◾ | Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements. Companies must disclose material information about their accounting policies and apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments clarify the following points: |
|---|---|
| - | The word “significant” is changed to “material or relative importance”. |
| --- | --- |
| - | The accounting policies that must be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements are clarified, “an entity will disclose information about its material or relative importance accounting policies.” |
| --- | --- |
| - | It is clarified when an accounting policy is considered material or relatively important. |
| --- | --- |
| - | Adds the following paragraph: “Information on accounting policies that focuses on how an entity has applied the requirements of IFRS to its own circumstances provides specific information about the entity that is more useful to users of financial statements than standardized information or information that only doubles or summarizes the requirements of IFRS standards”. |
| --- | --- |
| ◾ | Amendments to IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. They clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The amendment was published by the IASB in February 2021 and clearly defines an accounting estimate to distinguish it from an accounting policy: “Accounting estimates are monetary amounts, in financial statements, that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. |
| --- | --- |
It mentions “an accounting policy could require that elements of the financial statements be measured in a way that entails measurement uncertainty—that is, the accounting policy could require that these elements be measured by monetary amounts that cannot be directly observed and they must be estimated. In this case, an entity develops an accounting estimate to achieve the objective established by the accounting policy.
| ◾ | Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred taxes related to assets and liabilities that are recognized in a single transaction. The purpose of the amendments is to reduce the diversity in the reporting of deferred taxes on leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendment allows the recognition of a deferred tax liability or asset that has arisen in a transaction that is not a business combination, in the initial recognition of an asset or liability that, at the time of the transaction, does not give rise to taxable temporary differences and deductibles in the same amount. |
|---|---|
| ◾ | Amendment IAS 7 - Cash Flow Statement and IFRS 7 - Financial instruments: Disclosures. The IASB issued the amendment on disclosure requirements to improve the transparency of suppliers financing arrangements and their effects on a company’s liabilities, cash flows and liquidity risk exposure. The Amendment applies to annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024. |
| --- | --- |
| ◾ | IFRS16 Amendment: In September 2022, the IASB issued an amendment related to the leasing standard regarding the recognition of the lease liability in a sale and leaseback. The amendment determines the requirements that a seller-lessee must use to quantify the lease liability arising in the sale and leaseback with the objective that the seller-lessee does not recognize any profit or loss related to the right of use that it retains. |
| --- | --- |
| 5.2. | New standards issued but not yet adopted. |
| --- | --- |
| ◾ | Amendment to IAS 21 - Effects of Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. The Amendment establishes the criteria to assess whether a currency is interchangeable and to know when it is not, so that the exchange rate to be used and the disclosures to be provided can be determined. The validity applies to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. |
| --- | --- |
| ◾ | Issuance of IFRS 18 - Presentation and disclosures in financial statements. This new IFRS standard has the purpose to improve the usefulness of the information presented and disclosed in financial statements and will provide investors with more transparent and comparable information on the financial performance of companies, allowing them to make better investment decisions. This new standard is effective internationally for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, but companies can apply it early. It should be noted that IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements. |

| ◾ | Issuance of IFRS 19 – Subsidiaries not in the public interest: disclosures. This new standard allows subsidiaries to disclose reduced information, instead of disclosing information in accordance with other IFRS. Thus, the application of this standard will reduce the costs of preparing the financial statements of subsidiaries, while maintaining the usefulness of the information for users of their financial statements. |
|---|---|
| ◾ | Narrow scope amendments to IFRS 9: These amendments will improve the consistency and understanding of accounting requirements by clarifying terms and procedures, introducing detailed disclosure requirements and allowing flexible early application, which will reduce diversity in accounting practice and increase the transparency and consistency of financial information. Amendments effective from January 1, 2026, and early application is allowed. |
| --- | --- |
| 5.3. | New standards issued by the ISSB that with effect in future periods. |
| --- | --- |
The International Sustainability Standards Committee, in June 2023 issued the first international sustainability and climate standards: IFRS S1 General Requirements for the Information to be Disclosed on Sustainability related to Financial Information and IFRS S2 Weather-related Disclosures. The purpose of these standards is for entities to disclose information about their risks and opportunities related to sustainability and climate that is useful to the primary users of financial information for decision-making. An entity will apply these standards for reports for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The Ecopetrol Business Group is currently assessing the corresponding regulations and the methodology for their implementation. Likewise, the Ecopetrol Business Group will consider the guidelines and regulations that the Technical Council of Public Accounting may issue in Colombia.

| | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | Six-month period ended | ||
| | | June 30, | ||

| Income tax expense | **** | 6,914,028 | | 6,763,926 |
The effective tax rate for six-month period ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 was 44.2% and 31.9%, respectively.
As of June 30, 2024, and 2023, the nominal income tax rate was 35%, which includes an estimated surcharge of 15% for 2024 and 10% for 2023. These rates were estimated at each of the indicated dates, based on the projection of international BRENT prices.
Pillar II
Ecopetrol Business Group has a presence in the jurisdictions of Argentina, Bahamas, Brazil, Bolivia, Cayman, Chile, Colombia, Spain, United States, Mexico, Peru, Singapore, Panama, and Switzerland.
The ongoing assessment is executed based on the latest available tax returns and the most recent country-by-country report for 2022, as well as the most updated financial information for 2024.
Based on the current assessment, the Business Group has identified a potential exposure to Pillar II income taxes on profits obtained in Brazil, Singapore, Switzerland, and Bermuda, where the expected effective Pillar II tax rate is likely to be less than 15%. 15

Notes to consolidated condensed interim financial statements

(Figures expressed in millions of Colombian pesos, unless otherwise stated)
From the analysis on the implementation of Pillar II in the countries in which the Ecopetrol Business Group has a presence, it was identified that in some of them the regulations were issued to establish the Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (QDMTT) as of January 1, 2024. However, the internal regulations for the Income Inclusion Rule (IIR) or the Undertaxed Profits Rule (UTPR) have not been established in any of these countries. For this reason, it is not possible to identify and allocate a possible additional tax in those jurisdictions whose Effective Tax Rate is less than 15%. The Business Group will continue to monitor the implementation of BEPS 2.0 in jurisdictions that already have progress. In addition, The Business Group is working on calculating the effective tax rate by jurisdiction.
Therefore, the Ecopetrol Business Group will not recognize any impact in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024. As well as applying the exception contemplated in the Amendment to IAS 12, the Company will not recognize deferred tax assets or liabilities associated with Pillar II income tax in its consolidated financial statement.

29.1.Exchange rate risk
Ecopetrol Business Group operates both in the local (Colombia) and international markets, for this reason, it is exposed to exchange rate risk, to a greater extent due to fluctuations in exchange rates, especially the peso/US dollar rate.
As of June 30, 2024, the Colombian peso depreciated 7.86% from a closing rate of $3,822.04 on December 31, 2023, to $4,148.04 pesos per dollar. When the Colombian peso depreciates, export revenues, when converted to pesos, increase, and imports and foreign debt service become more expensive.
The book values of financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are presented in the following table:
| | | | | |

Ecopetrol S.A.
Notes to consolidated condensed interim financial statements
June 30, 2024
(Figures expressed in millions of Colombian pesos, unless otherwise stated)
Of the total net position, USD$(16,590) million correspond to net liabilities of companies with Colombian peso functional currency, of which USD$(16,956) correspond to loans used as hedging instruments whose valuation is recognized in other comprehensive income, the exchange difference valuation of the remaining net assets for USD$366 million affects the statement of profit and loss. Likewise, USD$(830) million of the net position correspond to monetary assets and liabilities of Group companies with a functional currency other than the Colombian peso, whose valuation is recognized in the profit or loss statement.
29.2.Sensitivity analysis for exchange rate risk
The following is the effect that a variation of 1% and 5% would have in the exchange rate of Colombian pesos against the U.S. United States dollar, related to the exposure of financial assets and liabilities in foreign currency as of June 30, 2024:

| 5 | % | 96,273 | | 3,516,669 |
29.3.Cash flow hedge for future exports
To express the effect of the natural hedge existing between exports and debt in the financial statements, the exchange rate risk materializes when exports are made. On September 30, 2015, the Board of Directors made the first designation of Ecopetrol’s debt as a hedging instrument for its future income from crude oil exports.
The following is the movement of this non-derivative hedging instrument:

29.4.Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation
The Board of Directors approved the application of hedge accounting of net investment from June 8, 2016. The measure seeks to reduce the volatility of non-operating income due to the exchange difference. The hedge of a net investment applies to a portion of the investments the Company has in foreign currency, in this case in subsidiaries with the US dollars as their functional currency, using as hedging instrument a portion of the Company’s debt denominated in U.S. dollars.
As of June 30, 2024, the total hedged balance is USD$10,695 million, which includes: i) Ecopetrol S.A. USD$10,365 million and ii) ISA Colombia for USD$330 million in hedge of net investment in the companies ISA REP, ISA Perú, Consorcio Transmantaro (CTM) and Proyectos de Infrastructura del Perú (PDI).
The following is the movement in the other comprehensive income:

| Closing balance | **** | 5,329,955 | | 3,140,684 |
29.5.Commodity Price risk
The price risk of raw materials is associated with the Group’s operations, both exports and imports of crude oil, natural gas, and refined products. To mitigate this risk, the Group has implemented hedges to partially protect the results from price fluctuations, considering that part of the financial exposure under contracts for the purchase of crude oil and refined products depends on the international oil prices.
The risk of such exposure is partially hedged in a natural way, as an integrated Group (with operations in the exploration and production, transportation and logistics and refining segments) and carries out both crude exports at international market prices and sales of refined products at prices correlated with international prices.
The Group has a policy for the execution of (strategic and tactical) hedges and implemented processes, procedures, and controls for their management. 34
Table of Contents
Ecopetrol S.A.
Notes to consolidated condensed interim financial statements
June 30, 2024
(Figures expressed in millions of Colombian pesos, unless otherwise stated)
The main purpose of the strategic hedging program is to protect the Group’s consolidated financial statements from the volatility of market variables in each period, to protect income and thus cash flow. During 2022, a hedging plan was executed to protect the cash against low price scenarios below the budget base price, in this sense, put options were purchased. There is not balance of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
On the other hand, tactical hedges allow to capture value in trading operations and Asset Backed Trading (ABT), thereby mitigating the market risk of specific operations. In the trading activity, commitments in physical spot and forward contracts could represent an exposure to commodity price risk, in particular the risk associated with the volatility of the price of crude oil and refined products. Although this exposure is part of the natural risk of the production, refining, and marketing activity made by Ecopetrol, sometimes marketing, to maximize value capture, can concentrate the exposure to risk in terms of time and/or or indicator that differs from the Company’s natural price risk profile.
As of the date of this report, Ecopetrol Business Group recognizes a total net liability position in swaps for $222 (December 2023: liability $6,350). These transactions with financial derivatives are recognized under cash flow hedge accounting.
29.6.Risk and opportunities related to climate
Ecopetrol Business Group has an identification of physical and transition risks considering short, medium, and long-term climate scenarios, and opportunities, based on energy transition scenarios that guide the company’s long-term strategic analysis.
| ● | Physical risks: are related to the Company’s exposure and vulnerability to the impacts of climate change and climate variability, which could affect operational continuity and increase the exposure of assets to possible damages. Physical risks are classified as acute and chronic. |
|---|---|
| o | Acute risks are those caused by extreme weather events, whose frequency and intensity have been increasing due to the gradual increase in global temperature. In Colombian territory they are mainly reflected in the occurrence of the climate variability phenomenon “El Niño” and its opposite phase “La Niña”. These conditions could result in, among others, water shortages, heat waves, floods, and fires. |
| --- | --- |
At the end of 2023, the “El Niño” phenomenon was consolidated with strong intensity. By the second quarter, the conditions of the phenomenon weakened and the transition to the neutrality phase began. It is reported that, for the second quarter, there were no substantial impacts on the infrastructure or operations of the Ecopetrol Business Group. In relation to the “La Niña” phenomenon, it is in a state of surveillance, Ecopetrol is advancing in the preparation and monitoring phase for the potential impacts that may occur in the face of climatic threats of natural origin (floods, strong winds and mass movements, among others).
| o | Chronic risks derive from a sustained change in the medium and long term in climate conditions, which for the Business Group can be reflected in the rise in sea level, thermal overload and droughts, beyond 2050. |
|---|---|
| ● | Transition risk: related to the challenges that the Business Group has identified to move towards a low-carbon, sustainable and competitive operation. The Business Group carried out a prioritization of transition risks to establish their financial impact, identifying the following: |
| --- | --- |
| o | Regulatory risk, associated with regulatory changes that may directly affect the Company in the short and medium term. Among the regulatory changes, the following can be highlighted: (i) new information requirements associated with mitigation and adaptation for the application or modification of current and future licenses, (ii) greater requirements associated with the regulations for the detection and repair of leaks. , gas flaring and venting, (iii) disclosure requirements on environmental and social issues by regulatory entities, (iv) new requirements for the assessment and verification of reduction projects and their registration in the National Registry of Gas Emissions Reductions Greenhouse Gases (RENARE), (v) possible restrictions on the voluntary compensation of GHG emissions, |

| (vi) implementation of the National Program for Tradable Emissions Quotas (PNCTE), in which emission rights would be assigned, among others. |

During 2023, the National Environmental License Authority (ANLA) in Colombia, incorporated into applications for environmental licenses, modification of licenses or minor changes in production and exploration, requirements associated with the quantification of GHG emissions, mitigation actions, vulnerability analysis and climate risk, and adaptation actions, within the framework of the Comprehensive Business Climate Change Management Plan. The report of compliance with these requirements must be presented in the Environmental Compliance Reports (ICAs). For the second quarter of 2024, the requirement was applied for (2) files with a request for modification. The document associated with the PIGCCe is public for consult.
| o | Legal risk, associated with the negative reactions and lawsuits against the climate action of Ecopetrol Business Group |
|---|---|
| o | Risk of assets trapped in the traditional business of hydrocarbon production, transportation, and refining, considering factors such as fuel demand prospects and asset profit horizons. |
| --- | --- |
| o | Market risk, related to the change in preferences in the use of low-carbon products in the long term, which implies a risk for the Company of not being able to meet market demand and of not advancing effectively in the development of these products and cost impact due to carbon price change. |
| --- | --- |
| o | Reputational risk, associated with the impossibility of responding in a timely way to the expectations and demand of investors and other interest groups to establish ambitious objectives regarding climate change, which would affect the image of the Company. |
| --- | --- |
| o | Technological risk, associated with the negative effects on the profitability of the business if there is no preparation and capacity to adapt to new technologies because of the transition process. |
| --- | --- |
The transition risk analysis considered the market and regulatory risks with the highest probability of materialization and were evaluated under the three scenarios of the World Energy Outlook 2022 of the International Energy Agency (IEA): (i) Net Zero Emissions (NZE), (ii) Announced Pledges Scenario (APS), and (iii) Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS). In market risk, as a first approximation, the impact on the value of the Upstream segment assets and their resilience to different hydrocarbon demand expectations was analyzed. In the APS and STEPS scenarios, the oil business shows resilience to volatility. However, this exercise cannot be considered absolute, since the IEA scenarios do not consider the dynamics of local energy demand, especially the natural gas market. With respect to regulation risk, the regulatory evolution related to the energy transition and climate change involves regulatory changes that may directly affect the Business Group in the short and medium term. The Business Group is committed to contributing significantly to national and sectoral goals, which in the future may be reflected in potential mandatory requirements. Faced with this risk, the Business Group evaluated two routes: i) quantification of the impact on the costs associated with a potential change in carbon prices and ii) quantification of the financial repercussions derived from higher abatement costs, due to limitations due to use of offsets, to analyze the effects on cash flow and possible capital allocation needs to enable the entry of new abatement opportunities to achieve decarbonization goals.
To manage the indicated risks, the Business Group defined as strategic risk the “Inadequate response to challenges associated with climate change, water and biodiversity”, which incorporates treatment actions, Key Risk Indicators (KRI) and controls to effectively manage the causes and mitigate the materialization of the risk. This definition as corporate risk allows the Business Group to define actions to move towards decarbonization and the fulfillment of medium and long-term goals and adaptation to climate variability and normal weather conditions in the country, to mitigate the effects associated with availability and water security in the regions, energy security, among others.
| ● | Opportunities associated with climate, these arise from the analysis of risks associated with climate, the review of energy transition scenarios, the implementation of the decarbonization plan and the alignment with the 2040 “Energy that Transforms” strategy. In the process of identifying and evaluating opportunities, the Company monitors and evaluates the energy market and the business environment, by defining energy transition scenarios that guide the long-term strategic analysis of the Business |

The ODC is a private oil pipeline with an indefinite validity, which has been operating for 35 years transporting crude oil between the Vasconia Station, located in the municipality of Puerto Boyacá (Boyacá) and the Coveñas Maritime Terminal, in the municipalities of Coveñas (Sucre) and San Antero (Córdoba).

On August 6, 2024, Ecopetrol S.A. reported that, as part of its comprehensive debt management strategy, it will prepay USD $250 million of its international bond maturing in June 2026, which was issued in 2015. The outstanding nominal balance of the bond is USD $1,500 million, with a coupon rate of 5.375%.
The redemption date of the bonds will take place on September 5, 2024, at an approximate redemption price of USD $1,014.95 for each USD $1,000 of principal plus the accrued interest. The final amount of the transaction will be confirmed on the redemption date.

Ecopetrol announced that the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (“MHCP”) has authorized Ecopetrol to execute a loan agreement for up to two-hundred fifty million dollars through Resolution 2476 dated August 20, 2024.
The loan is expected to be executed by and between the Company, as borrower, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as lender. The term of the loan is expected to be five years, with the principal payable at maturity and a variable interest rate. The proceeds from this transaction are expected to be allocated to non-investment expenses, including the repayment of financial commitments maturing 2026.
According to the procedure outlined in the contract, the MHCP reviewed and authorized the terms, which anticipate borrower default events such as non-payment or failure to fulfill obligations. If these events materialize, the lenders may demand early repayment. Additionally, Ecopetrol may seek recourse if the agreed disbursements are not made. All of the above is in compliance and will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
