Finally, through the holding, transportation and others segment, the Company participates in the electricity transmission and gas transportation businesses. In the transmission business, the Company jointly controls Citelec, which has a controlling interest in Transener, a company engaged in the operation and maintenance of a 22,396 km high-voltage electricity transmission network in Argentina with an 86% share in the Argentine electricity transmission market. In the gas transportation business, the Company jointly controls CIESA, which has a controlling interest in TGS, a company holding a concession for the transportation of natural gas with 9,248 km of gas pipelines in the center, west and south of Argentina, and which is also engaged in the processing and sale of natural gas liquids through the Cerri Complex, located in Bahía Blanca, in the Province of Buenos Aires, in addition to shale gas transportation and conditioning at Vaca Muerta.

1.2 Economic context in which the Company operates
The Company operates in a complex economic context which main variables are experiencing volatility as a result of political and economic events both domestically and internationally.
As part of the economic stabilization plan, on April 11, 2025 the Government announced measures to ease the exchange rate regime and strengthen the monetary system. These measures were promoted to achieve the priority objective of reducing inflation, boosting economic activity, increasing monetary predictability and building up freely available reserves to support the Government’s economic program. This program will be financially backed by a new US$ 20 billion funding facility agreed with the International Monetary Fund, among other agreements. Together, these agreements could potentially contribute to a US$ 23.1 billion increase in BCRA’s net reserves during 2025.

2.1.1 Gas market
2.1.1.1 Natural Gas for the residential segment and CNG
SE Resolutions No. 602/24, No. 25/25, No. 111/25 and No. 139/25 established the PIST price to be passed on to end users pursuant to the agreements entered into under GasAr Plan for gas consumptions as from the months of January through April 2025, respectively, and on the tariff schemes published by ENARGAS’ effective date.
2.1.1.2 Compensation for subsidized natural gas consumption

- The presentation or renewal of Energy Plus contracts is limited until October 31, 2025, after the expiration of such contracts the Energy Plus market will no longer be in effect;
- The dispatch scheme set by SE Resolution No. 354/20 is abrogated, effective as from February 1, 2025, and no alternative dispatch scheme is established contemplating the obligations under ENARSA’s supply contract with Bolivia and contracts within the GasAr Plan’s framework;
- As from March 1, 2025, the recognition of fuel costs is authorized according to reference prices and the values declared and accepted in the Production Cost Statement plus freight, natural gas transportation and distribution costs, and taxes and fees.
- CAMMESA will continue centralizing fuel supply for contracts entered into under specific schemes (SE Resolutions No. 220/07, No. 21/16 and No. 287/17);
- generators remunerated under the spot scheme will be able to manage their own fuel, with CAMMESA remaining as the supplier of last resort; and

CAMMESA published the proposal with guidelines contemplating various changes to the WEM structure and remuneration schemes for generation, submitted by the SE pursuant to Note NO-2025-09628437-APN-SE#MEC, and received comments from the Associations representing WEM agents. The reports requested by the SE are pending issuance and will be considered for the passing of transitional WEM adjustment regulations.
On its part, SE Note NO-2025-35216647-APN-SE#MEC dated April 4, 2025 establishes guidelines for the gas dispatch priority scheme for thermal generation in the WEM.

TGS received monthly tariff updates for the January-March 2025 period; to this effect, ENARGAS published new transitional tariff charts with 2.5%, 1.5% and 1.7% increases, respectively.
On April 30, 2025, ENARGAS Resolution No. 256/25 established the FTR conditions for the 2025-2030 period. This resolution establishes, among other things, the capital base as of December 31, 2024 and a real after-tax WACC discount rate of 7.18%, used to determine the initial tariff scheme, which includes a 3.67% weighted average tariff update to be implemented in thirty one equal and consecutive monthly installments beginning in May 2025. Likewise, the approval of the monthly tariff update methodology based on price indexes (CPI and IPIM) is postponed.
Finally, it establishes the investment plan, totaling $ 279,108 million (at June 2024 values) and operating expenses for the 2025-2030 five-year period. The implementation of this plan will be monitored by ENARGAS.

Specifically, the following are worth mentioning: (i) the classification of revenues and expenses into operating, investing and financing categories; (ii) the incorporation of required subtotals; and (iii) the disclosure of performance measures defined by management. The standard applies retroactively to fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, allowing for early adoption. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of the application of the standard on its financial statements’ disclosures.
- IFRS 19 - “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures”: issued in April 2024. It allows for reduced disclosures for entities without public accountability which are subsidiaries of an entity that prepares consolidated financial statements available for public use and comply with IFRS accounting standards.

| 5.1.3 | OCP |
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the concession authorization agreement, OCP caused OCPSA to establish two guarantees, one operational and one environmental, each in the amount of US$ 50 million (including surety bonds provided by the Group as shareholder in the amount of US$ 84 million), which would remain in effect for the term of the agreement and until 90 days after its termination on November 30, 2024. Therefore, the guarantees were scheduled to expire on March 1, 2025, since no claim that may be considered covered within their scope would have been initiated by that date. However, Citibank Ecuador informed OCP that, in its understanding, the guarantees had not expired because OCPSA had not complied with certain required formalities. On its part, OCP has formally notified Citibank Ecuador that its position is incorrect, explaining the reasons for that interpretation. As of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, OCP has not received a response to this notification. OCP has also requested the Ecuadorian Government to notify Citibank Ecuador of the guarantees’ expiration, having received no response as of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements.
OCP understands that there is no legal basis for claims under the operational guarantee (to be initiated only in case of a capacity deficiency pursuant to the concession authorization agreement) or under the environmental guarantee (to be initiated only in the event of termination of the concession authorization agreement due to the lack of payment of environmental compensations). In this regard, the guarantees should be terminated and rendered null and void, all in accordance with their terms and conditions.
OCP is taking all necessary actions to terminate the guarantees pursuant to the terms of the concession authorization agreement. On April 11, 2025, OCP filed an arbitration proceeding before the ICSID seeking the effective release of the guarantees and compensation for the damages sustained as a result of the failure to release them; and, subsidiarily, to receive from Ecuador the amount of the guarantees plus interest and damages resulting from Ecuador’s actions.

| 5.1.4 | CIESA - TGS |
On March 7, 2025, heavy rains, unprecedented in the last 100 years, were recorded in the city of Bahía Blanca and adjacent areas, causing flooding in all urban areas and their surroundings.
This event caused the Saladillo García stream to overflow, flooding the Cerri Complex and, consequently, halting the production of liquids and partially affecting natural gas transportation services. It is worth highlighting that the external electricity distribution system and the electricity generation and distribution facilities were also affected.
The natural gas transportation service was gradually restored in full, with no significant impact on TGS’s revenues. However, liquid production at the Cerri Complex has been interrupted since March 7, 2025, and this situation continues as of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements.
TGS is performing cleanup tasks and implementing measures to fully restore plant operations as soon as possible. Based on the recovery efforts’ current status and the damage sustained, TGS has recorded a $ 14,058 million loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 corresponding to event-related expenses and the impairment of materials and other property, plant and equipment. As of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, the final cost of the event has not yet been assessed by TGS.
Furthermore, TGS is undertaking preliminary coverage negotiations with insurance companies; therefore, the insurance proceeds’ amount and timing have not been determined as of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements.

Provision for legal proceedings
In the ongoing files before the National Tax Court regarding gasoline exports, where the tax entity challenges the tariff heading assigned by Petrobras Argentina S.A. during the years 2008-2014, seven additional favorable rulings were passed during the period. Out of the total twelve rulings in favor of the Company, eight were sustained by the Tax Authority, therefore becoming final and conclusive. In the remaining cases, the term for the Tax Authority to submit an appeal and/or a statement of grievances is still pending. As of March 31, 2025, attending to the above-mentioned detailed progress, the Company believes that there are grounds to consider that the associated provision is not probable and, consequently, has recorded a US$ 44 million recovery, including accrued interest.

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 mainly 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 direct equity interest of 2.84% and 3.19%, and the additional equity interest of 2.18% and 2.46% through HIDISA and HINISA, in TJSM and TMB, respectively, resulting from the Federal Government’s restructuring of assets in the energy sector. This restructuring resulted in TMB’s and TJSM’s share transfer from the Federal Government to ENARSA. |
NOTE 13: EQUITY COMPONENTS
| 13.1 | Share Capital |
As of March 31, 2025, the capital stock amounts to $ 1,364 million, including $ 4 million of treasury shares.
| 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 operations. 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, 2025 and 2024, the Company does not hold any significant potential dilutive shares, therefore there are no differences with the basic earnings per share.

Dividends distributed to individuals, undivided estates or foreign beneficiaries derived from profits generated during fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 are subject to a 7% withholding tax. The distribution of dividends is made based on the Company’s Stand-Alone Financial Statements which are presented in pesos, the legal currency in Argentina, pursuant to regulatory requirements.
