Buenos Aires, Argentina, August 5, 2025

 

During the 2Q2025, total comprehensive income amounted to Ps. 40,278 million, or a Ps. 53.51 per share (Ps. 267.53 per ADS), compared to a total comprehensive income of Ps. 119,739 million, or Ps. 159.07 per share (Ps. 795.33 per ADS) in the second quarter ended on June 30, 2024 (“2Q2024”).

 

Picture 1 

 

Operating profit for 2Q2025 totaled Ps. 122,575 million, Ps. 54,360 million below 2Q2024. This variation was mainly due to lower revenues in the Production and Commercialization of Liquids (“Liquids”) segment and the Natural Gas Transportation segment amounting to Ps. 25,216 million and Ps. 12,982 million, respectively.

 

The net cost of sales, administrative, and selling expenses increased by Ps. 17,445 million while Other Operating Results, net, recorded a negative variation of Ps. 15,265 million.

 

Revenues in the Midstream segment increased by Ps. 16,548 million, contributing to partially offset the negative effects mentioned above.

 

Financial results reflected a negative variation of Ps. 76,660 million.

Highlights during 2Q2025 and beyond

 

ØFollowing two months of intensive recovery efforts, the Company successfully restored full operations at the Cerri Complex during the first week of May, after the unprecedented weather event that occurred on March 7, 2025, in Bahía Blanca and surrounding areas. Thanks to the commitment of our teams and the coordinated work of more than 150 suppliers and contractors, we were able to overcome the damage caused by the flooding and resume natural gas liquids processing under the highest standards of safety and efficiency. 

 

ØOn May 22, 2025, Energía Argentina S.A. (“ENARSA”) launched a national and international public tender for the expansion of the Perito Moreno Gas Pipeline (“GPM”), aiming to increase the natural gas transportation capacity at Vaca Muerta in 14 MMm³/d. The submission of bids, in which tgs was the only bidder, took place on July 28, 2025, while the tender winner is scheduled to be awarded on October 13, 2025. Works are expected to begin thereafter and would take approximately 18 months to be completed.  

 

ØAt the Board of Directors meeting held on May 28, 2025, a cash dividend was approved totaling Ps. 202,704 million (equivalent to Ps. 269.28 per share), following the approval by the Ordinary, Extraordinary, and Special General Shareholders' Meeting of April 30, 2025. 

 

ØUnder Decree No. 371/2025, the Secretariat of Energy was appointed as the enforcement authority responsible for implementing contractual and tariff modifications. Accordingly, on June 4, 2025, Resolution No. 241/2025 was issued, establishing a monthly update mechanism for transportation tariffs (the “Periodic Adjustment”), replacing the previous semiannual scheme. This new methodology is based on a composite adjustment equally weighted between the monthly variation of the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) and the Wholesale Domestic Price Index (“WPI”). 

 

ØOn July 24, 2025, Decree No. 495/2025 was published in the Official Gazette, through which the National Executive Branch granted an extension of the license awarded to tgs under Decree No. 2458/1992. The extension covers an additional 20-year period starting on December 28, 2027. 

 

 

Analysis of the results

 

Total revenues amounting to Ps. 347,615 million in 2Q2025 were Ps. 21,650 million below the Ps. 369,264 million recorded in 2Q2024.

Picture 3 

 

 

Net cost of sales and administrative and selling expenses increased by Ps. 17,445 million, mainly due to higher: (i) depreciation of Ps. 8,941 million, (ii) impairment of financial assets corresponding to a customer in the Natural Gas Transportation segment of Ps. 8,383 million, (iii) labor costs of Ps. 6,302 million, and (iv) repair and maintenance expenses of Ps. 2,992 million. These effects were partially offset by lower costs for natural gas purchased for liquid production (mainly due to lower consumption and, to a lesser extent, the decrease in the restated price in accordance with IAS 29) of Ps. 8,769 million and lower taxes, fees, and contributions of Ps. 2,100 million (mainly due to lower export taxes).

 

Financial results are presented in gross terms considering the effect of change in the currency purchasing power (“Loss on monetary position") in a single separate line. In 2Q2025, financial results represented a negative variation of Ps. 76,660 million compared to 2Q2024. This variation is mainly due to lower financial assets results of Ps. 65,843 million and a higher negative exchange rate difference of Ps. 15,678 million. These effects were partially offset by the lower loss on monetary position of Ps. 4,177 million.

 

Other operating results, net for 2Q2025 reported a loss of Ps. 17,960 million, Ps. 15,265 million higher than the figure recorded in 2Q2024. This negative variation is mainly attributable to a Ps. 18,636 million loss recognized under expenses and impairment of materials and other PPE items related to the unprecedented climate event that occurred on March 7, 2025, at the Cerri Complex. This impact was partially offset by a lower charge for the write-off of tax credits amounting to Ps. 1,058 million and insurance recoveries totaling Ps. 709 million.

Natural Gas Transportation

 

Operating profit of the Natural Gas Transportation segment totaled Ps. 62,623 million in 2Q2025 and was Ps. 31,942 million below 2Q2024.

 

Picture 5 

 

Natural gas transportation revenues accounted for approximately 43% and 44% of total revenues in 2Q2025 and 2Q2024, respectively.

 

Revenues from this segment are derived mainly from firm natural gas transportation contracts, which represented approximately 81% and 85% of the total revenues for this segment in 2Q2025 and 2Q2024, respectively.

 

 

Picture 4 

 

During the second quarter of 2025, the Secretariat of Energy approved the monthly adjustment methodology applicable following the completion of the Five-Year Tariff Review (RQT) process.

 

The negative variation in operating profit was mainly explained by a decrease in revenues of Ps. 12,982 million, derived from the negative impact of the restatement according to IAS 29, for Ps. 49,030 million. This effect was partially offset mainly by the tariff increases received (Ps. 23,739 million) and higher revenues from natural gas transportation services (Ps. 10,913 million).

 

Net cost of sales, administrative and selling expenses increased by Ps.19,623 million, mainly due to: (i) impairment of financial assets corresponding to a single customer (Ps. 8,383 million), (ii) higher depreciation (Ps. 3,422 million), (iii) increased labor costs (Ps. 3,485 million), and (iv) higher repair and maintenance expenses (Ps. 3,276 million).

Liquids Production and Commercialization

 

Liquids Production and Commercialization revenues accounted for approximately 35% and 39% of total revenues in 2Q2025 and 2Q2024, respectively. During 2Q2025, production decreased by 54,748 tons, reaching 224,253 tons.

 

Picture 7 

 

During 2Q2025, operating profit for this business segment reached Ps. 22,310 million, representing a decrease of Ps. 27,411 million compared to the same period in 2024 (Ps. 49,721 million). This decline was mainly due to a reduction in revenues of Ps. 25,216 million and higher other operating results, net of Ps. 16,651 million attributable to the impact of the climate event. These effects were partially offset by lower natural gas costs (Ps. 8,769 million), due to both a decrease in the price measured in constant currency and a reduction in volume, lower repair and maintenance expenses (Ps. 1,954 million), and a decrease in taxes, fees, and contributions (Ps. 1,378 million), mainly due to lower tax on exports and turnover tax. 

 

Revenues totaled Ps. 120,399 million in 2Q2025, compared to Ps. 145,615 million in 2Q2024. The decline was mainly explained by the loss of Ps. 44,662 million from restatement under IAS 29, lower volumes sold amounting to Ps. 21,074 million, lower reference prices of Ps. 3,985 million and a decline in trading activity of Ps. 1,479 million. These effects were partially offset by an increase in the nominal exchange rate of Ps. 26,103 million and higher domestic market prices for propane and butane totaling Ps. 11,640 million and for ethane totaling Ps.7,399 million, including the latter higher income from the execution of contractual price adjustment and take-or-pay clauses.

 

Sales volumes decreased 38,523 tons (or 15%) compared to 2Q2024. This decline was mainly due to the operational interruption of the Cerri Complex starting of March 7, 2025, as a result of the climate event. Operations began to gradually recover in mid-April and reached optimal production levels on May 8th.

 

The breakdown of volumes dispatched by market and product and revenues by market is included below:

Midstream and Telecommunications

 

Midstream and Telecommunications business segment includes mainly services provided by tgs at Vaca Muerta, representing approximately 22% and 16% of our total revenues for 2Q2025 and 2Q2024, respectively.

 

Picture 10 

 

 

The operating profit increased by Ps. 4,992 million, mainly explained by higher revenues of Ps. 16,548 million in 2Q2025 compared to 2Q2024. This effect was partially offset by higher net cost of sales and administrative and selling expenses of Ps. 12,541 million.

 

The increase in revenues was mainly due to: (i) increased natural gas transportation and conditioning services at Vaca Muerta for Ps. 18,073 million, (ii) the nominal exchange rate effect on revenues denominated in US dollars for Ps. 13,087 million, and (iii) higher other services, mainly related to the Transport.AR program, for Ps. 1,831 million. These effects were partially offset by the impact of the restatement in accordance with IAS 29 for Ps. 16,621 million.

2Q2025 vs. 2Q2024

 

During 2Q2025, cash flows provided by operating activities amounted to Ps. 88,300 million, representing a decrease of Ps. 49,080 million compared to 2Q2024. This variation was mainly explained by a decline in net income (Ps. 40,278 million compared to Ps. 119,739 million in 2Q2024) and an increase in income tax payments, which reached Ps. 51,682 million compared to Ps. 493 million in 2Q2024. These effects were partially offset by higher adjustments for eliminations (Ps. 119,052 million vs. Ps. 75,954 million) and lower outflows due to changes in working capital. In addition, no interest payments were recorded in the quarter, in contrast to 2Q2024, when Ps. 23,726 million were paid for this item.

Cash flow provided by investing activities amounted to Ps. 86,405 million, reversing the outflows recorded in 2Q2024 (Ps. 115,731 million negative). This positive variation of Ps. 202,136 million was mainly explained by collections from the sale of investments not classified as funds under IFRS, which totaled Ps. 142,146 million, compared to payments of Ps. 44,782 million in 2Q2024. In addition, there was a reduction in investments in PPE, which declined from Ps. 70,950 million in 2Q2024 to Ps. 55,741 million in the same period of 2025, implying a decrease in the use of funds of Ps. 15,209 million.

 

 

Picture 26 

 

 

During 2Q2025, cash flow used in financing activities amounted to Ps. 202,904 million, representing an increase compared to the same period last year, when there was a net outflow of Ps. 19,551 million. This negative variation of Ps. 183,353 million was mainly explained by the cash payment for dividends during the quarter amounting to Ps. 202,704 million, while in 2Q2024 there were no distributions made. Additionally, in the current period, no new loans were drawn, and no debt was repaid, unlike 2Q2024, when loans totaling Ps. 6,249 million were drawn and obligations amounting to Ps. 25,597 million were repaid.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

This press release also includes certain non-IFRS financial measures. Non-IFRS financial measures are not measurements of our performance or liquidity under IFRS as issued by IASB and should not be considered alternatives to operating profit or profit for the period or net cash provided by operating activities or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB or any other generally accepted accounting principles or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities.

 

We present non-IFRS financial measures because we believe that they and other similar measures are widely used by certain investors, securities analysts and other interested parties as supplemental measures of performance and liquidity. The non-IFRS financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures employed by other companies and may have limitations as analytical tools. These measures may not be fit for isolated consideration or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. Non-IFRS financial measures and ratios are not measurements of our performance or liquidity under IFRS as issued by the IASB. Thus, they should not be considered as alternatives to operating profit, profit for the period, any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, any other generally accepted accounting principles or as alternatives to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities.

 

Rounding: Certain figures included in this press release have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this press release have not, in all cases, been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts in this press release may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our Financial Statements. Certain numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that preceded them due to rounding.
