IMPORTANT NOTICE Additional information
about YPF S.A., a sociedad anónima organized under the laws of Argentina (the “Company” or “YPF”) can be found in the “Investors” section on the website at www.ypf.com. This presentation does not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy any securities of the Company, in any jurisdiction. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), the Comisión Nacional de Valores (Argentine National Securities and Exchange Commission, or “CNV”) or an exemption from such registrations. No reliance may be placed for any purpose whatsoever on the
information contained in this document or on its completeness. Certain information contained in this presentation has been obtained from published sources, which may not have been independently verified or audited. No representation or warranty,
express or implied, is given or will be given by or on behalf of the Company, or any of its affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Act, “Affiliates”), members, directors, officers or employees or any other person (the
“Related Parties”) as to the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information or opinions contained in this presentation or any other material discussed verbally, and any reliance you place on them will be at your sole risk. Any
opinions presented herein are based on general information gathered at the time of writing and are subject to change without notice. In addition, no responsibility, obligation or liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise)
is or will be accepted by the Company or any of its Related Parties in relation to such information or opinions or any other matter in connection with this presentation or its contents or otherwise arising in connection therewith. Our
estimates of EURs, included in our development costs, are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized, particularly in
areas or zones where there has been limited history. Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our concessions will differ substantially. Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including
actual encountered geological conditions and the impact of future oil and gas pricing. This presentation may also include certain non-IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) financial measures which have not been subject to a
financial audit for any period. The information and opinions contained in this presentation are provided as at the date of this presentation and are subject to verification, completion and change without notice. As from 4Q2022, the financial
information in this document is expressed, unless otherwise indicated, in U.S. dollars corresponding to the functional currency of YPF. The information is based on the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS in force in Argentina. On
the other hand, the financial information of previous periods is restated in U.S. dollars corresponding to the functional currency of YPF (in replacement of the individual financial results of YPF expressed in Argentine pesos divided by the average
exchange rate for the period. This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” concerning the future. The words such as “believes,” “thinks,” “forecasts,” “expects,”
“anticipates,” “intends,” “should,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “future” or similar expressions are included with the intention of identifying statements about the future. For the
avoidance of doubt, any projection, guidance or similar estimation about the future or future results, performance or achievements is a forward-looking statement. Although the assumptions and estimates on which forward-looking statements are based
are believed by our management to be reasonable and based on the best currently available information, such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which
are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they were made, and we undertake no obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein because of new
information, future events or other factors. In light of these limitations, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. Further information concerning risks and uncertainties associated with
these forward-looking statements and YPF’s business can be found in YPF’s public disclosures filed on EDGAR (www.sec.gov) or at the web page of the Argentine National Securities and Exchange Commission (www.argentina.gob.ar/cnv). You
should not take any statement regarding past trends or activities as a representation that the trends or activities will continue in the future. Accordingly, you should not put undue reliance on these statements. This presentation is not intended to
constitute and should not be construed as investment advice. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors — The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to separately disclose proved, probable and possible reserves that a company
has determined in accordance with the SEC’s rules. We may use certain terms in this presentation, such as resources, that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to
consider closely the disclosure in our annual report on Form 20-F, File No. 001-12102 available on the SEC’s website www.sec.gov.
