Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)
Note 1. Group information
1.1 Company general information, structure and activities
Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. (“VISTA”, the “Company” or the “Group”), formerly known as Vista Oil & Gas, S.A.B. de C.V., was organized as a variable-capital stock company on March 22, 2017, under the laws of the United Mexican States (“Mexico”). The Company adopted the public corporation or “Sociedad Anónima Bursátil de Capital Variable” (“S.A.B. de C.V.”) on July 28, 2017.
It is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under ticker symbol “VIST” as from July 26, 2019.
On April 26, 2022, Vista Oil & Gas, S.A.B. de C.V. changed the Company’s corporate name to “Vista Energy, S.A.B. de CV”.
Its main office is located in the City of Mexico, Mexico, at Pedregal 24, floor 4, Colonia Molino del Rey, Alcaldía Miguel Hidalgo, zip code 11040.
Through its subsidiaries, the Company engages in oil and gas exploration and production (upstream segment).
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved for publication by the Board of Directors on October 26, 2022.
Other than mentioned in Note 1.2 there were no changes in the Group’s structure and activities as from the date of issuance of the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021.
1.2 Significant transactions for the period
1.2.1 Acquisition of 50% of operated working interest in the unconventional concessions of Aguada Federal and Bandurria Norte in Vaca Muerta (“acquisition of AFBN assets”)
On January 17, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiary Vista Energy Argentina S.A.U, formerly known as Vista Oil & Gas Argentina S.A.U (“Vista Argentina”), acquired a 50% operated working interest in the Aguada Federal and Bandurria Norte concessions (“the Assets”), from Wintershall DEA Argentina S.A. (“Wintershall”).
Vista agreed to pay a purchase price of 140,000, of which 90,000 was paid on the date of the transaction, and the remaining 50,000 will be payable in 8 (eight) equal quarterly instalments starting on April 2022. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, Vista paid to Wintershall, 3 (three) equal instalments of 6,250, and the liabilities related to such transaction stand at 29,826, recognized at present value (see Note 24).
As result of this transaction, Vista recognized an addition of 68,743 in “Property, plant and equipment” (see Note 12), and the transaction effectively cancels the carry consideration of 77,000 the Company had assumed on September 16, 2021.
The effective date of the transaction was January 1, 2022. On September 14, 2022, the Province of Neuquén issued Presidential Decrees No. 1,851/22 and No. 1,852/22 approving the assignment by Wintershall to Vista Argentina of the assets located in the Bandurria Norte and Aguada Federal areas, respectively.
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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – “Interim Financial Reporting”, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). 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 September 30, 2022, and the results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. 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, 2021.

VISTA ENERGY, S.A.B. DE C.V.
Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)
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, 2021, except for the income tax expense that is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.
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 (“USD”) and are rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.
2.2 New effective accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB adopted by the Company
The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
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 1.2.1 there were no changes in interest in Company subsidiaries during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022.
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.
Considering the macroeconomic context, the result of operations and the Group’s cash position, as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, 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 3 (three) CGUs: (i) operated concessions of conventional oil and gas exploration and production; (ii) operated concessions of unconventional oil and gas exploration and production; and (iii) non-operating concessions of conventional oil and gas exploration and production. The Company also identified just one CGU in Mexico: (i) operated concessions of conventional oil and gas exploration and production.
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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not identify indications of impairment.
2.5 Regulatory framework
| A- | Argentina |
2.5.1 Gas market
2.5.1.1 Argentine promotion plan to stimulate natural gas production: 2020-2024 supply and demand system (“Gas IV Plan”)
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company received a net amount of 1,077 and 1,524.
As of September, 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the receivables related to such plan stand at 5,440 and 1,729, respectively (see Note 16).

VISTA ENERGY, S.A.B. DE C.V.
Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)
The Department of Energy authorized, a variable volume of winter exports for the period elapsed between May and September 2022. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company exported a total of 18 Mcm to Chile.
Other than mentioned above, there have been no significant changes in Argentina’s regulatory framework for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 (see Note 2.5 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021).
| B- | Mexico |
There have been no significant changes in Mexico’s regulatory framework for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 (see Note 2.5 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021).
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 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 liquefied petroleum gas (“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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company generated 99% of its revenues related to assets located in Argentina, and 1% in Mexico.
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 per share
a) Basic
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s profit by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
b) Diluted
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s profit by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the 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 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 per share is equal to basic earnings per share.

Due to the short-term nature of current trade and other receivables, it carrying amount is considered similar to its fair value. The fair values of noncurrent trade and other receivables do not differ significantly from it carrying amounts either.
As of September 30, 2022, in general, accounts receivable has a 15-day term for sales of oil and a 50-day term for sales of natural gas and LPG.
The Company sets up a provision for trade receivables when there is information showing that the debtor is facing severe financial difficulties and 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 an allowance for expected credit losses was recorded for 278 and 406 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

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, 2021, through September 30, 2022.
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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
| As of September 30, 2022 |
As of December 31, 2021 |
|||||||
| Annualized volatility |
45.10 | % | 39.94 | % | ||||
| Risk free domestic interest rate |
10.89 | % | 7.15 | % | ||||
| Risk free foreign interest rate |
4.41 | % | 0.55 | % | ||||
| Remainder useful life in years |
0.52 years | 1.29 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 September 30, 2022: (i) should market price increase by 0,10 it would increase the obligation by about 1,216; (ii) should market price decrease by 0,10 it would drop the obligation by about 1,188; (iii) should volatility increase by 50 basis points, it would rise the obligation by about 318 and; (iv) should volatility slip by 50 basis points, it would reduce the obligation by about 322.

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, 2021, 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 USD and ARS. As of September 30, 2022, the Company performed foreign exchange currency hedge transactions, and the impact in the results of the period is recognized in “Other financial income (expense)”.
Most Company sales are denominated in USD, or the changes in sales follow the changes in USD listed price.
During the period between January 1, 2022, and September 30, 2022, ARS depreciated by about 43%.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)
The following chart shows the sensitivity to a reasonable change in the exchange rates of ARS to USD 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 USD, 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 the average interest rate was 51%.
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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, about 9% and 16% of indebtedness was subject to variable interest rates. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021, the variable interest rate of loans denominated in USD stood at 4.76% and 4.81%, respectively, and it amounted to 36.31% and 35.55%, 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate interest rate risks.

Note 28. Tax regulations
28.1 Income tax
On August 16, 2022, the Federal Public Revenue Agency (“AFIP”) in Argentina issued General Resolution No. 5,248/2022 whereby it established one-time payment towards income tax.
For taxpayers whose tax assessed as of December 31, 2021, was equal to or higher than ARS 100,000,000 and which calculation base for the advance payments for the following tax period exceeded 0 (zero), the one-time payment towards income tax will amount to 25% of such calculation base. Such amount will be paid in three equal and consecutive installments and will be computed as payment towards income tax for the year ended as of December 31, 2022.
As of the date of this report, the Company estimates that these payments will stand approximately at 9,000.
Other than mentioned above there were no changes in Argentina’s and Mexico’s tax regulations during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 (see Note 33 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021).
Note 29. Subsequent events
The Company assessed events subsequent to September 30, 2022, to determine the need of a potential recognition or disclosure in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company assessed such events through October 26, 2022, date in which these financial statements were made available for issue.
| • | On October 4, 2022 the meeting of holders of the Warrants issued by the Company (identified with the ticker symbol “VTW408A-EC001” -the “Warrants”), approved the amendments to the warrant indenture and the global certificate that covers such Warrants, by means of which a cashless exercise mechanism was implemented that entitles the holders, to obtain one series A share representative of the capital stock of the Company for each 31 Warrants owned. |
As a result, a maximum of 3,215,483 shares will become outstanding once all Warrants are converted.
The holders who so desire may exercise their exercise right on a cashless basis starting October 10, 2022. Additionally, pursuant to the proposed new terms of the warrant indenture, at any time during the term of the issuance, Vista will be allowed to declare at its sole discretion the early maturity of all, and not less than all Warrants.
| • | On October 4, 2022, Vista Argentina paid interest for an amount of 110 corresponding to the loan agreement signed with Banco Santander International. |
| • | On October 11, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiary Vista Argentina entered into a second farmout agreement with Trafigura, whereby it undertook to develop 3 (three) pads in Bajada del Palo Oeste area (“farmout agreement II”). |
