1.1.Overview of Argentine Electricity Market

Transactions among different participants in the electricity industry take place through the wholesale electricity market (MEM) which is a market in which generators, distributors and certain large users of electricity buy and sell electricity at prices determined by supply and demand (Forward Market) and also, where prices are established on an hourly basis based on the economic production cost, represented by the short term marginal cost measured at the system’s interconnection center (“Spot market”). CAMMESA (Compañía Administradora del Mercado Mayorista Eléctrico Sociedad Anónima) is a quasi-government organization that was established to administer the MEM and functions as a clearing house for the different market participants operating in the MEM. Its main functions include the operation of MEM and dispatch of generation and price calculation in the Spot market, the real-time operation of the electricity system and the administration of the commercial transactions in the electricity market.

CENTRAL PUERTO SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA

 

After the Argentine economic crisis in 2001 and 2002 and the Convertibility Law, the costs of generators increased as a result of the Argentine peso devaluation. In addition, the price of fuel for their generation increased as well. The increasing generation costs combined with the freezing of rates for the final user decided at the time by Argentine administration led to a permanent deficit in CAMMESA accounts, which faced difficulties to pay the energy purchases to generators. Due to this structural deficit, the Secretariat of Energy issued a series of regulations to keep the electricity market working despite the deficit.

 

1.2.Amendments to the Wholesale Electricity Market (MEM) regulations

 

a)  Secretariat of Energy Resolutions No. 574/2023, 2/2024, 33/2024 and 78/2024. Executive Decree No. 718/2024

 

On July 11, 2023, Resolution No. 574/2023 was published, which extended for 60 days (with the possibility of being extended for 60 days more) the termination date for the Concession Agreement of the Hydroelectric Power Station Piedra del Águila, among other Argentine Hydroelectric Power Stations, whose concession term ended during 2023.

 

On January 17, 2024, through Resolution No. 2/2024, the transition period of the concession agreement was extended for 60 days as from February 28, 2024. Then, through Resolution No. 33/2024, published in the Official Gazette on March 18, 2024, the Secretariat of Energy extended again the transition term stated in the concession agreement for 60 days as from April 28, 2024, so that such term expires on June 27, 2024.

 

On May 17, 2024, through Resolution No. 78/2024, the transition period of the concession agreement was extended until the end of the term established in such agreement, i.e., as from December 28, 2024.

On August 12, 2025, Executive Decree No. 718/2024 was published in the Official Gazette, which extended the term for one year for CPSA to continue operating Piedra del Águila hydroelectric power station as the licensee, with a maximum term ending December 28, 2025. The mentioned Decree also established that, within the 180 days as from publication, the Secretariat of Energy shall call for a National and International Bid so as to proceed to the sale of the Companies’ shareholding package created for each of the hydroelectric power stations of Comahue. In this regard, on April 9, 2025, such term was extended for 15 days through Executive Decree No. 263/2025.

b)  Secretariat of Energy Resolutions No. 603/2024, 27/2025, 113/2025, 143/2025, 177/2025, 227/2025 and 280/2025.

 

During 2025, the remuneration values for power and energy not committed in agreements have been monthly updated as established by different resolutions issued by the Secretariat of Energy.

In this regard, on December 27, 2024, Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 603/2024 was published in the Official Gazette whereby the remuneration values were updated, replacing Exhibits I to V of Resolution 387/2024 and ordering a 4% increase as from January 1, 2025. Afterwards and through Secretariat of Energy Resolutions No. 27/2025, 113/2025, 143/2025, 177/2025 and 227/2025 monthly updated the corresponding remuneration values by 4%, 1.5%, 1.5%, 2% and 1,5%, respectively. The increases ordered by Resolutions 143/2025, 177/2025 and 227/2025 were not applicable to certain hydroelectric dams, among which Piedra del Águila hydroelectric power station is included.

CENTRAL PUERTO SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA

 

Finally, on June 30, 2025, Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 280/2025 was published in the Official Gazette whereby the remuneration values were updated and a 1% increase was ordered as from January 1, 2025.

c)Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 21/2025

 

On January 28, 2025, Secretariat of Energy Resolution 21/2025 was published in the Official Gazette, which resolution established that the new electrical energy generation projects from conventional sources and with commission as from January 1, 2025 can enter into supply agreements in the Forward Market with large users and distributors. In addition, Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 354/2024 was repealed, modifying Plan GasAr considerations and the natural gas consumption priorities in the Electric Market. It is also established that as from March 1, 2025, generators selling their energy in the spot market can buy their fuel, and that such will be recognized by CAMMESA as per the production variable cost stated and acknowledged by the generator. The cost of energy not supplied in MEM is also set with a maximum value of 1500 USD/MWh when such does not exceed 10% of the system’s supply. Finally, the Energía Plus scheme is abolished, while keeping in force the existing agreements until their termination.

 

d)Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 67/2025

On February 17, 2025, Secretariat of Energy Resolution 67/2025 was published in the Official Gazette whereby the National and International Open Bid “Almacenamiento AlmaGBA” was authorized so as to enter into storage generation agreements with MEM distribution companies, Edenor and Edesur, and with CAMMESA as last-instance guarantor, as per the Terms and Conditions approved by this resolution.

 

This new energy storage system will permit covering the short-term capacity requirements and provide fast-response storage services, as shown by the Battery Energy Storage System.

 

On July 15, 2025, tenders were submitted. The Group presented a 150 MW projects in Nuevo Puerto power station and a 55 MW project in Central Costanera. As per the AlmaGBA Call schedule, the award of the successful bids is expected for August 29, 2025.

e)Executive Decree No. 450/2025.

On July 7, 2025, Executive Decree No. 450/2025 was published in the Official Gazette whereby the Executive Power approved adjustments and amendments to the Electrical Energy Acts (Laws No. 15336 and 24065), which form the Electrical Regulatory Framework, based on the delegation made by Bases Act (see Note 13).

 

In this regard, the Executive Power highlighted the delegation bases are targeted at recovering the aim of reducing the intervention of the National Government in the prices and contracts system so as to provide greater freedom to private actors and greater legal security ensuring long-term supply. On the other hand, the electrical energy federal regime is consolidated, preserving the supremacy of the national regulatory regime over local provisions, so as to avoid hindering the free circulation of energy.

 

This way, through Decree No. 450/2025, a 24-month transition period was set for the necessary amendment of the regulations and supplementary standards. In this regard, the Secretariat of Energy must implement the necessary measures for a gradual, ordered and foreseeable transition towards the objectives established in Section 2 of Law 24065 and the full application of such law and its regulations.

In addition, it was established that during the transition period, the Secretariat of Energy will issue the necessary standards:

    To decentralize (vertical/horizontal/cross-sectional) and achieve a hydrocarbon competition market so as to attain a free purchase of fuel by electrical producers;

 

  To ensure the effectiveness of the guarantee measures aimed at regulating collection and ensuring collectability of the contracts with distributors;

   To establish remuneration criteria for thermal generation to grant the companies greater efficiency when acquiring natural gas, liquefied natural gas, gas oil and fuel oil;

 

   To establish transference progressive mechanisms to MEM Distributors Demand and Large Users of the different electrical energy purchase and sale agreements entered into with CAMMESA on behalf of MEM Demand.

 

  To establish the transference mechanism to MEM Offer of the different fuel purchase and sale agreements entered into by CAMMESA;

 

   To review all the standards forming the “Procedures” issued during the economic emergency established by the National Emergency and Exchange System Reform Act (Law No. 25561) so as to define its abolishment or maximum validity term during the transition period.

Pursuant to Law No. 27468, amended by Law No. 27430, for the determination of the amount of taxable net profits for the fiscal years commencing January 1, 2019, the inflation adjustment calculated from the application of the provisions set forth in the income tax law may be added to or deducted from the fiscal year’s tax income (loss). This adjustment will only be applicable if the variation percentage of the consumers price index (“IPC”) accumulated (a) during the 36 months prior to the closing of the fiscal year is higher than 100%, and (b) for the first, second, and third fiscal year commencing as of its effective date, the accumulated IPC variance is higher than 55%, 30% or 15% of such 100%, respectively. The positive or negative tax inflation adjustment, depending on the case, corresponding to the first, second and third period commenced as from January 1, 2018, which must be calculated in case of verifying the statements on the foregoing paragraphs (a) y (b), shall be charged in one sixth for that fiscal period and the remaining five sixths, equally, in the immediately following fiscal periods.

As of December 31, 2019 and during the following fiscal years, such conditions have been already met. Consequently, the current and deferred income tax have been registered in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 including the effects derived from the application of the tax inflation adjustment under the terms established by the income tax law.

13.Measures on the Argentine economy

 

On December 10, 2023, new government authorities took office, who issued a series of measures whose main objectives include the flexibilization of regulations for economic development, reduction of expenses towards reducing fiscal deficit, reduction of subsidies, among others. Within the context of the new government, in December 2023, there was a significant devaluation of the Argentine peso, which was reflected on the official exchange rate.

 

During 2024 and 2025, the Argentine government has taken actions towards achieving fiscal balance, which allowed it to achieve in the short term a primary financial surplus in respect to the Gross Internal Product, and an inflation slowdown process began.

 

 

Law No. 27742 “Bases Act”

On June 28, 2024, Law No. 27742 (“Bases Act”) was passed and came into force after its enactment by the Executive Power.

 

Regarding energy, the Bases Act modifies laws that form the regulatory framework of hydrocarbons, natural gas, biofuels, and electric energy, among others. These changes are aimed at rearranging the relationship between the government and the market so as to give predominance to private initiatives in order to gain in terms of competitiveness and maximize the profit obtained.

 

In this regard, the Bases Act enables the Executive Power to modify the Laws No. 15336 on Electric Energy and No. 24065 on the Regulatory Framework of Electric Energy, by guaranteeing the following bases:

  Free international trade of electric energy.

 

  Free trade, competition and expansion of markets, and the possibility for the final user to choose the supplier.

  A clear setting of the different items to be paid by the final user.

 

  The development of electric energy transportation infrastructure through open, transparent, efficient and competitive mechanisms.

 

  The review of administrative structures of the electricity sector, modernizing and professionalizing them.

The Bases Act combines the gas and electricity regulating entities (ENRE and Enargas) in one National Gas and Electricity Regulating Entity, which shall have the same functions as the current ones. In this regard, on July 7, 2025, the Executive Power issued Decree No. 452/2025 which created such entity.

 

 

Foreign exchange market

As from December 2019, BCRA issued a series of communications whereby it extended indefinitely the regulations on Foreign Market and Foreign Exchange Market issued by BCRA that included regulations on exports, imports and previous authorization from BCRA to access the foreign exchange market to transfer profits and dividends abroad, as well as other restrictions on the operation in the foreign exchange market. In particular, it established the need of refinancing financial indebtedness with entities abroad, which met certain requirements. The effects these regulations had on the loans of the Group’s companies as of June 30, 2025, are described in Note 7.3.8.

Once the new authorities took office on December 10, 2023, restrictions on the payment of imports with custom

CENTRAL PUERTO SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA

 

entry record were loosen as from December 13, 2023, whereas some restrictions imposed by BCRA to the access to the Single and Free Foreign Exchange Market (“MULC”) and to the operations in the foreign exchange market remained in effect.

On April 11, 2025, the Argentine government issued a series of measures aimed at loosening the regulatory framework that governs the access to the foreign exchange market. These measures include: (i) establishing a floating exchange rate band system, where the American dollar can fluctuate in the foreign exchange market; the initial band was between 1,000 pesos and 1,400 pesos, with its limits adjusting to a monthly rate of 1%; (ii) the elimination of the program which allowed the liquidation of income from exports using a divided mechanism of 80% through the foreign exchange market and 20% through the financial market; (iii) the elimination of exchange restrictions applicable to individuals, including the monthly purchase limit of 200 American dollars, as well as the crossed restrictions contained in Communication “A” 7340 of BCRA, eliminating also the tax recharge applied to the purchase of foreign currency in the foreign exchange market (still in effect for tourism and payments with credit cards) ; (iv) the authorization of the distribution of dividends by Argentine companies to foreign shareholders corresponding to the fiscal years commencing on 2025; and (vi) a one-time elimination of the 90-day retroactive period under Communication 'A' 7340 applicable to legal entities, allowing such entities to resume access to the foreign exchange market under normal conditions.

 

Income tax

 

On June 16, 2021, the Argentine Executive Power passed Law No. 27630, which established changes in the corporate income tax rate for the fiscal periods commencing as from January 1, 2021. Such law establishes payment of the tax based on a structure of staggered rates based on the level of accumulated taxable net income. The estimated amounts in this scale will be annually adjusted, considering the annual variation of the consumer price index provided by the INDEC corresponding to October of the year prior to the adjustment compared with the same month of the previous year. For the 2024 fiscal year the applicable scale was: 25% up to the accumulated taxable net profit of 34.7 million pesos, 30% on the portion exceeding that amount up to 347 million pesos and 35% on the exceeding amount of such figure. Whereas for the fiscal year 2025 the applicable scale was: 25% up to the accumulated taxable net profit of 101.7 million pesos, 30% on the portion exceeding that amount up to 1,016.8 million pesos and 35% on the exceeding amount of such figure

 

Plan for the fostering of investments

 

In order to foster the productive matrix and at the same time generate employment and fiscal resources, the Argentine government has implemented in 2024 the “Incentives Regime for Large Investments” (RIGI), implemented through the Bases Act, which will grant fiscal benefits, access to foreign currency for imports and, under certain conditions, it will allow the remittance of profits to those investment projects presented and approved, corresponding to certain strategic sectors, which are able to generate exports in the medium and long term.

14.Restrictions on profit distributions

 

Pursuant to the Business Entities Law and the Bylaws, 5% of the profits made during the fiscal year must be assigned to the statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 20% of the Company’s share capital.

The profits that are distributed to natural persons of Argentina and abroad and foreign legal entities are subject to a withholding of 7% as dividend tax, to the extent that such profits correspond to fiscal years closed after December 31, 2017.

 

In addition, certain loan agreements establish requirements to distribute dividends (see Notes 7.3.1, 7.3.3, 7.3.4, and 7.3.8).

 

 

 

15.Collaterals granted

As a result of Decree PEN No. 718/24 (see Note 1.2.a), on September 3, 2024, CPSA submitted a surety bond for the amount of USD 4,500,000 as a collateral for the extension of the Concession Agreement of the Complex Piedra del Águila hydroelectric power station, with a maximum term as at December 28, 2025.

 

On March 19, 2009, the Group entered into a pledge agreement with the former Secretariat of Energy to secure its obligations in favor of FONINVEMEM trusts by virtue of the operation and maintenance agreement of the Timbúes and Manuel Belgrano power stations, by which it pledged as a collateral 100% of the shares in TSM and TMB.

 

On the other hand, the shares acquired by the Group in Central Costanera S.A. have a pledge for which the Group will follow the procedure to achieve its termination.

Regarding the agreements described in Notes 7.3.10 and 7.3.11, the Group has granted T-BILLs as compliance collaterals which are included in the balance of other financial assets.

In addition, the Group has provided compliance collaterals for the agreements described in Notes 1.2.a and 18.3 to the consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2024, already issued, and in the Notes 7.3.1, 7.3.3, 7.3.4 and 7.3.8.

BRIEF FOR THE FISCAL YEARS

Ended June 30, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021

1.General comments

 

During the first six months of the fiscal year 2025, the Company registered an operating income of $160,648 million, whereas for the same period of the year 2024, it was an income of $177,745 million.

Among the main causes for this variation, the following can be mentioned: a) lower operating income due to the net exchange differences and interest from clients mainly for the CVO receivables, b) lower income from growth and revaluation of biological assets, c) higher cost of sales mainly for the purchase of liquid fuel, d) lower income for the sales from agreements and e) lower income from forestry activity. These effects were partially offset by a) higher income from spot market sales mainly due to the recognition of the cost of fuel, b) higher income for insurance recovery, c) lower operating expenses due to the Agreement with Cammesa Resolution SE No. 58/2024 and 66/2024, and d) lower operating claim-related expenses.

The operating income mentioned before was increased by the financial income (loss) and other income (loss), which were higher to the ones recorded for the first half of 2024. The main causes for this increase were: a) higher positive income (loss) in the interest in the net income (loss) of associates, b) higher positive income (loss) from investments in entities measured at their fair value, c) lower income (loss) from loan interest and d) higher positive income (loss) for financial assets holding at fair value with changes in income (loss). These effects were partially offset by the higher negative income (loss) from exposure to changes in the purchasing power of currency, the negative income (loss) generated by interest rate swap and the lower positive income (loss) for interest gained.

As a consequence of the foregoing, a net income before income was registered for the first six month of the fiscal year 2025 of $203,932 million, whereas in the fiscal year 2024 was $117,755 million.

In summary, the main causes of the increase in the net income for the period were: higher income from spot market sales, higher positive income (loss) from the interest in the net income (loss) in associates, a higher positive income (loss) from investments in entities measured at their fair value and a lower income (loss) from loans interest. These results were partially offset due to the lower operating income from net exchange differences and clients’ interest, mainly due to the CVO receivables and a higher negative income (loss) from exposure to changes in the purchasing power of currency.

The net income for the first six months of the fiscal year 2025 was $115.37 per share, compared to the net income of $22.70 per share for the same period in 2024.

(not covered by the independent auditors’ report)

In the future, the Company will focus on continuing on improving its efficiency, not only regarding the management of the generation units, but also in the administration of its resources.

In this regard, the Company has entered into the agreements for the construction of Parque Solar San Carlos (San Carlos solar farm), located in the province of Salta, which will provide an installed power of 10 MW. In addition, during 2024, the works for the closing of the combined cycle of the thermal power station Brigadier Lopez began. This power station is located in the industrial park Sauce Viejo, province of Santa Fe, which will allow the station to have an additional power of 140MW. As of this date, both projects are in the construction stage, and its operation is expected to start during 2025.

This way the Company will continue on focusing on the expansion of its electric power generation capacity and forestry production, positioning itself as one of the leading companies in the electric power and forestry sector.

STATUTORY AUDIT COMMITTEE’S REPORT

 

To the Shareholders of

CENTRAL PUERTO S.A.

 

Introduction

 

1.    As per subsection 5, Section 294 of the Business Entities Act No. 19550 as amended (the “Business Entities Act”) and the Listing Regulations of Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. for the “Authorization, Suspension, Withdrawal and Cancelation of the Listing of Securities” (the “BYMA Listing Regulations”), we have examined the individual and consolidated financial statements attached of CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. and its subsidiaries, which include: (a) the individual and consolidated balance sheet for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 and the consolidated statement of changes in equity as of June 30,2025 and the individual and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025; and (c) a summary of the main accounting policies and other explanatory information. The documents mentioned are the exclusive responsibility of the Board of Directors of the Company in the exercise of its functions.

 

Scope of work

 

 

2.    Our work consisted on verifying the consistency between the significant information contained in those financial statements and the corporate decisions stated on records, the adjustment of said decisions to the law and the bylaws, in regard to its formal and documentary aspects. In order to perform this work, we have taken into account the independent auditors’ report from the external auditor Pablo Decundo, partner of the firm Pistrelli, Henry Martin y Asociados S.A. dated August 2, 2025, issued in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (“IAASB”). We have not performed any management control, and therefore, we have not assessed the criteria and business decisions regarding the administration, financing, commercialization and production, since it is the Board of Directors who bears exclusive responsibility for these matters. Therefore, our responsibility is limited to expressing an opinion on such documents and it does not extend to facts, acts, omissions, or circumstances which are not known to us or that could not be determined from the assessment of the information received by this Statutory Audit Committee in the exercise of its functions. We consider that our work and the reports from the external auditor provide us with reasonable basis for our report.
