REPORT ON REVIEW OF THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Pampa Energía S.A.

Legal address: Maipú, 1

Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

Tax Code No.: 30-52655265-9

 

Report on the consolidated condensed interim financial statements

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements of Pampa Energía S.A. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter "the Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2023, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 and selected explanatory notes.

 

Board's responsibility

 

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its acronym in Spanish) as professional accounting standards and incorporated by the National Securities Commission (CNV, for its acronym in Spanish) to its regulations, as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and therefore is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the consolidated condensed interim financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (IAS 34). 

 

Scope of the review

 

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated condensed interim financial statements based on our review, which was performed in accordance with the International Standards on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the entity, adopted as a review standard in Argentina by Technical Pronouncement No. 33 of the FACPCE and approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). A review of consolidated condensed interim Financial Statements consists of inquiries primarily of Company staff responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. This review is substantially less in scope than an audit examination conducted in accordance with international standards on auditing and consequently it does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

NOTE 2: REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

2.1 Generation
2.1.1 Renewable Energy Term Market (“MATER” Regime)

On March 20, 2023, SE Resolution No. 165/23 was passed, which modified the penalty system applicable to MATER projects, including projects awarded under the Renovar MiniRen Program, Round 3. Penalties for breaches in the committed supply of energy were incorporated into the system, to be discounted in 12 monthly and consecutive installments as from commercial commissioning, keeping the generator’s option to cancel the penalties in 48 monthly and consecutive installments with the application of a 1.7% EAR in U.S. dollars. To avoid affecting the projects’ minimum maintenance, a 20% discount cap for the monthly transaction was established for those generators opting into the 48-installment scheme. The balance following the application of this cap will be discounted in the first transaction in which the penalty is below the stated cap; if the number of installments is exceeded, the scheme will be maintained until the penalties’ full cancellation and, in case the contract term is exceeded, the payment scheme may be restructured, or the discount cap may be increased to 40% of the transaction.

2.1.2 Supply Agreements with CAMMESA

2.1.2.1 Renovar Programs

In line with the scheme set forth by SE Resolution No. 1,260/21 and to address the issue of projects under the different Renovar rounds breaching the committed commercial commissioning dates, on April 25, 2023, the SE passed Resolution No. 284/23 to release the transportation capacity committed under different Renovar Rounds having difficulties with the projects' conclusion. The new scheme authorizes holders of these projects to terminate the Supply Agreement with CAMMESA against the payment of an amount equivalent to US$ 35,000 per MW of the project’s power capacity, the waiver of claims against the Federal Government, the SE and/or CAMMESA, an indemnity commitment to realease these authorities against claims by its shareholders or controlling, controlled and/or affiliated companies, and the waiver of granted and unused fiscal benefits. Applications should be presented to CAMMESA within 30 calendar days from the resolution’s publication.

2.1.2.2 Remuneration for combined cycles

SE Resolution No. 59/23 dated February 7, 2023 established an opt-in system under which combined cycles’ owners could execute an availability and efficiency optimization agreement with CAMMESA. The agreement contemplates an availability commitment for 85% of the net power capacity for a maximum term of 5 years and sets a US$ 2,000/MW-month remuneration for the available power capacity and the dollarization of the energy price based on the fuel used (US$ 3.5/MWh for natural gas and US$ 6.1/MWh for fuel oil and gas oil). Besides, it provides for a 35% and 15% reduction in the remuneration collectible for guaranteed power capacity for generators with availability commitments in the spot market for the summer-winter and autumn-spring periods, respectively.

The Company was assigned a 1,452,878 m3/d volume.

2.3 Gas Transportation

TGS’s Tariff situation

On March 16, 2023, TGS’s Board of Directors approved a proposed addendum to the renegotiation transitionary agreement (the “2023 RTT”) sent by ENARGAS.

The 2023 RTT includes, effective from April 29, 2023, a 95% transitionary tariff scheme on the natural gas transportation tariff and the access and use charge. While it is in force, TGS may not distribute dividends or directly or indirectly early cancel financial and commercial debts taken on with shareholders, acquire other companies or grant loans. If TGS deems it appropriate to act otherwise regarding the payment of dividends, it should require the Ministry of Economy’s authorization.

NOTE 12: (Continuation)

The techniques used for the measurement of assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, classified as Level 2 and 3, are detailed below:

- Derivative Financial Instruments: calculated from variations between market prices at the closing date of the period, and the amount at the time of the contract.
- Shares: it was determined using the income-based approach through the “Indirect Cash Flow” method, that is, the net present value of expected future cash flows, mainly through the collection of dividends taking into consideration the 4.04% and 4.55% equity interest, direct and indirect, in TJSM and TMB, respectively.

NOTE 13: (Continuation)

13.2 Earning per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the result attributable to the Company’s equity holders by the weighted average of outstanding common shares during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average of outstanding common shares to reflect the conversion of all dilutive potential common shares.

Potential common shares will be deemed dilutive only when their conversion into common shares may reduce the earnings per share or increase losses per share of the continuing business. Potential common shares will be deemed anti-dilutive when their conversion into common shares may result in an increase in the earnings per share or a decrease in the losses per share of the continuing operations.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not entail a conversion, the exercise or another issuance of shares which may have an anti-dilutive effect on the losses per share, and where the option exercise price is higher than the average price of ordinary shares during the period, no dilutive effect is recorded, being the diluted earning per share equal to the basic. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company does not hold any significant potential dilutive shares, therefore there are no differences with the basic earnings per share.
