PEMEX reiterates its commitment to prioritize profitability and sustainability. Production goals met & exceeded Energy Reform: historic opportunity 2016: Stable finances Today Financial Balance 2020-2021 Strategic company in Mexico and worldwide Net result improved by MXN 400bn in 2016 Business Plan focus: Profitability 2017: Inflection point & attractive investment opportunities 27
