Tenaris Announces 2026 First Quarter Results

 

The financial and operational information contained in this press release is based on unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements presented in U.S. dollars and prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board and adopted by the European Union, or IFRS. Additionally, this press release includes non-IFRS alternative performance measures i.e., EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Net cash / debt and Operating working capital days. See exhibit I for more details on these alternative performance measures.

 

Luxembourg, May 6, 2026. - Tenaris S.A. (NYSE and Mexico: TS and EXM Italy: TEN) (“Tenaris”) today announced its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 in comparison with its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

 

Summary of 2026 First Quarter Results

(Comparison with the fourth and first quarter of 2025)

 

    1Q 2026   4Q 2025   1Q 2025
Net sales ($ million)     3,100       2,995       4 %     2,922       6 %
Operating income ($ million)     584       554       5 %     550       6 %
Net income ($ million)     564       461       22 %     518       9 %
Shareholders’ net income ($ million)     541       449       20 %     507       7 %
Earnings per ADS ($)     1.07       0.87       23 %     0.94       14 %
Earnings per share ($)     0.54       0.44       23 %     0.47       14 %
EBITDA ($ million)     735       717       3 %     696       6 %
EBITDA margin (% of net sales)     23.7 %     23.9 %             23.8 %        

 

Tenaris began the year strongly with sales rising by 4% sequentially despite the disruption in the Middle East since March caused by the Iran war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Sales benefitted from seasonally higher activity in Canada, a limited recovery of activity in Mexico, higher offshore sales in Brazil, customer stock-building in North Africa and an advance of shipments in Saudi Arabia. Margins remained stable as higher costs from maintenance shutdowns were offset by lower tariff costs. Operating income and EBITDA rose in line with sales, while net income benefitted from improved results below the operating line.

 

 


 

During the quarter, our free cash flow amounted to $503 million and, after spending $90 million on share buybacks, our net cash position amounted to $3.8 billion at March 31, 2026.

 

Market Background and Outlook

 

The conflict in the Middle East and the prolonged closure of the strait of Hormuz has changed the outlook for the energy industry. Oil and LNG prices have risen and are likely to remain high for many months as available inventories are drawn down and demand and supply rebalancing takes place.

 

Oil and gas drilling activity in the Middle East, once the strait is reopened, will initially prioritize restoring production to previous levels and releasing any available spare production capacity. Activity in the rest of the world should benefit from increased investment in short cycle shale plays and the sanctioning of offshore projects. Over the longer term, there will be increased focus on security and diversification of supply.

 

In the United States, OCTG prices have started to respond to import tariffs and increases in raw material costs, in an environment where demand is expected to increase.

 

For the second quarter, our sales will be affected by lower shipments in the Middle East. Our margins will be impacted by higher logistics costs in addition to lower absorption of fixed costs. For the second half of 2026, we expect our sales and margins to recover, assuming the strait of Hormuz is reopened in the short term.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Analysis of 2026 First Quarter Results

 

Tubes

 

The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, sales volumes of seamless and welded pipes for the periods indicated below:

 

Tubes Sales volume (thousand metric tons)   1Q 2026   4Q 2025   1Q 2025
Seamless     784       776       1 %     775       1 %
Welded     211       193       9 %     212       0 %
Total     995       969       3 %     987       1 %

 

 

The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, net sales by geographic region, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

 

Tubes   1Q 2026   4Q 2025   1Q 2025
(Net sales - $ million)                                        
North America     1,474       1,455       1 %     1,244       19 %
South America     531       501       6 %     552       (4 %)
Europe     214       187       15 %     208       3 %
Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa     712       697       2 %     761       (6 %)
Total net sales ($ million)     2,931       2,839       3 %     2,765       6 %
            Services performed on third party tubes ($ million)     109       107       2 %     101       7 %
Operating income ($ million)     545       516       6 %     514       6 %
Operating margin (% of sales)     18.6 %     18.2 %             18.6 %        
                                         

 

Net sales of tubular products and services increased 3% sequentially and increased 6% year on year. Volumes sold increased 3% sequentially while average selling prices remained stable. In North America higher sales of OCTG in Mexico and in Canada more than compensated for lower sales in the United States. In South America sales increased due to higher sales of OCTG in Brazil and of line pipe in Argentina. In Europe sales increased thanks to higher sales of mechanical products to distributors. In Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa sales increased as deliveries to Algeria concentrated in this quarter plus a recovery in OCTG sales in Saudi Arabia following destocking more than offset some delayed shipments in the Middle East.

 

Operating results from tubular products and services amounted to a gain of $545 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a gain of $516 million in the previous quarter and a gain of $514 million in the first quarter of 2025. Tubes operating income in the first quarter of 2026 increased driven by higher volumes with stable margins. Cost of sales remained stable as higher costs from maintenance shutdowns were offset by lower tariffs and duties.

 

 


 

Others

 

The following table indicates, for our Others business segment, net sales, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

 

Others   1Q 2026   4Q 2025   1Q 2025
Net sales ($ million)     169       156       9 %     157       8 %
Operating income ($ million)     39       38       4 %     36       8 %
Operating margin (% of sales)     23.2 %     24.2 %             23.1 %        

 

Net sales of other products and services increased 9% sequentially and increased 8% year on year. Sequentially, sales increased mainly due to higher sales of oilfield services in Argentina and higher sales of tubes for plumbing and construction applications, partially offset by lower sales of excess energy.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $467 million, or 15.0% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $453 million, 15.1% in the previous quarter and $457 million, 15.6% in the first quarter of 2025. Sequentially, SG&A stayed flat as a percentage of sales.

 

Financial results amounted to a gain of $50 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a gain of $29 million in the previous quarter and a gain of $35 million in the first quarter of 2025. Financial result of the quarter is mainly attributable to a $53 million net finance income from the net return of our portfolio investments.

 

Equity in earnings of non-consolidated companies generated a gain of $33 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a gain of $20 million in the previous quarter and a gain of $14 million in the first quarter of 2025. These results are mainly derived from our participation in Ternium (NYSE:TX) and Usiminas.

 

Income tax charge amounted to $103 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $142 million in the previous quarter and $81 million in the first quarter of 2025. Income tax of the quarter declined mainly due to the positive effect from foreign exchange rate movements and inflation adjustment, mainly in Argentina.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Cash Flow and Liquidity of 2026 First Quarter

 

Net cash generated by operating activities during the first quarter of 2026 was $618 million, compared to $787 million in the previous quarter and $821 million in the first quarter of 2025. Cash generated by operating activities during the first quarter of 2026 is net of a working capital increase of $84 million.

 

With capital expenditures of $114 million, our free cash flow amounted to $503 million during the quarter. Following share buybacks of $90 million in the quarter, our net cash position amounted to $3.8 billion at March 31, 2026.

Exhibit I – Alternative performance measures

 

Alternative performance measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

 

EBITDA, Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.

 

EBITDA provides an analysis of the operating results excluding depreciation and amortization and impairments, as they are recurring non-cash variables which can vary substantially from company to company depending on accounting policies and the accounting value of the assets. EBITDA is an approximation to pre-tax operating cash flow and reflects cash generation before working capital variation. EBITDA is widely used by investors when evaluating businesses (multiples valuation), as well as by rating agencies and creditors to evaluate the level of debt, comparing EBITDA with net debt.

 

EBITDA is calculated in the following manner:

 

EBITDA = Net income for the period + Income tax charges +/- Equity in Earnings (losses) of non-consolidated companies +/- Financial results + Depreciation and amortization +/- Impairment charges/(reversals).

 

EBITDA is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

 

(all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)   Three-month period ended March 31,
    2026   2025
Income for the period     564,158       517,864  
Income tax charge     103,481       81,342  
Equity in earnings of non-consolidated companies     (33,376 )     (14,035 )
Financial Results     (50,399 )     (35,258 )
Depreciation and amortization     151,440       146,406  
EBITDA     735,304       696,319  

 

 

 


 

Free Cash Flow

 

Free cash flow is a measure of financial performance, calculated as operating cash flow less capital expenditures. FCF represents the cash that a company is able to generate after spending the money required to maintain or expand its asset base.

 

Free cash flow is calculated in the following manner:

 

Free cash flow = Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities - Capital expenditures.

 

Free cash flow is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

 

 

(all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)   Three-month period ended March 31,
    2026   2025
Net cash provided by operating activities     617,645       821,000  
Capital expenditures     (114,479 )     (173,838 )
Free cash flow     503,166       647,162  

 

Net Cash / (Debt)

 

This is the net balance of cash and cash equivalents, other current investments and fixed income investments held to maturity less total borrowings. It provides a summary of the financial solvency and liquidity of the company. Net cash / (debt) is widely used by investors and rating agencies and creditors to assess the company’s leverage, financial strength, flexibility and risks.

 

Net cash/ debt is calculated in the following manner:

 

Net cash = Cash and cash equivalents + Other investments (Current and Non-Current)+/- Derivatives hedging borrowings and investments - Borrowings (Current and Non-Current).

 

Net cash/debt is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

 

 

(all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)   At March 31,
    2026   2025
Cash and cash equivalents     1,152,130       770,208  
Other current investments     2,265,359       2,581,761  
Non-current investments     669,940       1,007,444  
Derivatives hedging borrowings and investments     665       —    
Current borrowings     (331,091 )     (345,183 )
Non-current borrowings     (360 )     (7,437 )
Net cash / (debt)     3,756,643       4,006,793  

 

 

 

 


 

Operating working capital days

 

Operating working capital is the difference between the main operating components of current assets and current liabilities. Operating working capital is a measure of a company’s operational efficiency, and short-term financial health.

 

Operating working capital days is calculated in the following manner:

 

Operating working capital days = [(Inventories + Trade receivables – Trade payables – Customer advances) / Annualized quarterly sales ] x 365.

 

Operating working capital days is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

 

(all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)   At March 31,
    2026   2025
