| --- | | 1. | Relevant Events | | --- | --- | | 1.1 | Increased delays in the payments from CAMMESA and on-time changesin the settlement of certain past transactions | | --- | --- |

Since February 2024, CAMMESA has slowed down payments for our electricity and natural gas sales. As of today, transactions from December 2023, January and February 2024 are pending payment, totaling over AR$140 billion, including accrued interests and Value-Added Tax. The days of sales outstanding have risen to more than 120 days, whereas CAMMESA’s procedures stipulate 42 days.

The Company has learned that the SE would instruct CAMMESA to make a one-time change over the settlement of the December 2023 and January 2024 transactions by paying the outstanding due with sovereign bonds at face value. In light of this development and considering the fair market value of said debt security, Pampa has recorded a US$34 million impairment loss over CAMMESA receivables.

Pampa is analyzing the possible course of action and the legal measures against this resolution. It is important to highlight that the inability of CAMMESA to pay could substantially impact the Company’s cash flow, operating results and financial position. Nonetheless, Pampa has enough solvency to meet its operational and financial obligations as of the FS issuance date.

1.2 New permits to export naturalgas

In February 2024, the SE approved additional gas export volumes to Chile on a ToP basis for 0.6 million m^3^/day, valid from October to December 2024. In summary:

Period Volume in million m^3^/day
Authorized Traded
January 2024 – April 2024 1.5 0.8
May 2024 – September 2024 0.6 n.a.
October – December 2024 0.6 n.a.
1.3 Increases in regulated tariffs
--- ---

Update on the naturalgas price

On March 26, 2024, the SE set new PIST values for natural gas, denominated in US$, applicable seasonally from April 2024 to residential users “N1” (high income) and productive sectors (businesses and industries) (Res. SE No. 41/24), resulting in^[4]^:

· April:<br>Between US$2.79 and US$2.95 per MBTU, depending on the utility company
· May<br>– September (winter period): Between US$4.26 and 4.49 per MBTU, depending on the utility company
--- ---
· October<br>– December (summer period): Between US$2.79 and 2.85 per MBTU, depending on the utility company.
--- ---

As of March 2024, the small businesses segment paid in AR$, equivalent to US$0.3 per MBTU and the residential N1 segment paid in AR$, equivalent to US$1 per MBTU.

The PIST increase will not be seasonal for residential users “N2” (low income/social tariff) and “N3” (middle income):

^[4]^ PIST ranges depend on the area and type of user.

| **Pampa Energía** ● Earnings release Q1 24 ● 2 |

| --- | | · | N2:<br>From an equivalent of US$0.3 (denominated in AR$), to 0.74 and 0.78 per MBTU | | --- | --- | | · | N3:<br>From an equivalent of US$0.4 (denominated in AR$), to 1.12 and 1.17 per MBTU. | | --- | --- |

Furthermore, ENARGAS was instructed to issue tariff schemes reflecting monthly variations in the FX on PIST values (Res. ENARGAS No. 112 to 123/24).

This price adjustment increases the amount of Pampa’s sales to be charged directly to the utility distribution companies, decreasing the Plan Gas.Ar subsidy contribution.

Tariff increasegranted to TGS

On March 27, 2024, ENARGAS authorized a 675% increase in natural gas transportation tariff schemes, effective between April 3, 2024 and any time before December 31, 2024, when a new Comprehensive Tariff Review is approved. Moreover, it includes a monthly adjustment formula (Res. No. 112/24). However, as of today, ENARGAS has not issued the corresponding May 2024 tariff schedules reflecting said monthly increase.

TGS commits to disburse and/or accrue in 2024 an AR$27,690 million investment plan, adjustable by the formula mentioned before, and focused on infrastructure works, as well as the system’s safety and reliability.

1.4 Transener news

Changes in CAMMESA’spayment priority order

On March 15, 2024, Res. SE No. 34/24 modified the payment priority order of CAMMESA’s transactions, ranking senior providers of high-voltage power transmission and main distribution services over power generation companies.

Power transmissionComprehensive Tariff Review

On April 15, 2024, the ENRE, through Res. No. 223/24 approved the 2024 power transmission tariff review program. The companies involved, including Transener and Transba, must submit their proposals before July 31, 2024, and the ENRE must approve the new tariff schedules before December 31, 2024. The approved proposals will be in force for five years from January 1, 2025.

Arbitrationwith POSA

On April 3, 2024, the International Chamber of Commerce Court notified the Final Award to the international arbitration brought by POSA against Pampa. In said award, all POSA’s claims were dismissed, except for ordering Pampa to pay 33.60% of the income received and to be obtained under the Leasing Contract with TGS in Río Neuquén block. Likewise, the Court grants Pampa’s counterclaim. The awarded amount, net of Pampa’s awarded counterclaim, was US$25 million plus interests. Having provisioned US$9 million before, US$16 million was accrued in Q1 24.

However, on April 10, 2024, Pampa filed a partial annulment appeal against the Final Award. Consequently, the payment was halted until further ruling.

Debt transactions

As of March 31, 2024, Pampa’s financial debt at the consolidated level under IFRS amounted to US$1,563 million, slightly higher than the end of 2023, mainly explained by the increased delays in CAMMESA’s payments, which rose from 73 to 89 days. Debt issuances were carried out to manage the increased working capital, partially offset by debt repayments. In this sense, net debt amounted to US$718 million, 17% higher than December 2023 but 21% lower year-on-year. The table below shows the gross debt principal breakdown:

Currency Type of issuance Amount in million US$ Legislation % over total gross debt Avg coupon

The financial debt had an average life of 2.8 years. The chart below shows the principal maturity profile, net of repurchases, in US$ million by the end of Q1 24:

Creditratings

In April 2024, S&P upgraded CTEB’s local scale rating from “A+” to “AA-” due to its low operational risk and its co-controlling companies’ operational robustness, in addition to a solid debt structure. Pampa holds 50% equity stake in CTBSA, a company whose only asset is CTEB. Moreover, due to the sovereign debt upgrade, S&P moved from “CCC-” to “CCC” Pampa and TGS’s global ratings. The table below shows the risk ratings for Pampa and its subsidiaries:

Power generation sales during Q1 24 recorded a decrease of 11% in comparison with Q1 23, mainly explained by lower spot/legacy energy sales, where the sharp AR$ devaluation in December 2023 affected its prices, partially offset by the 74% increase granted from February 2024. Although legacy energy represents 69% of the 5,332 MW operated by Pampa^[5]^, in Q1 24, it only comprised 31% of the segment’s sales. The decrease caused by the FX jump was particularly visible in the capacity remuneration: the thermal conventional units (GT and ST) were priced at US$3.5 thousand per MW-month (-23% vs. Q1 23 and -4% vs. Q4 23), US$1.6 thousand per MW-month for hydro (-25% vs. Q1 23 and -17% vs. Q4 23), and US$4.5 thousand per MW-month for CCGTs (-30% year-on-year and -1% vs. Q4 23). Only CCGTs benefit from the differential income in US$ (Res. No. 59/2023).

In addition to PEMC’s divestment in Q3 23, sales under contracts were affected by the CTLL TG05’s outage (resumed service in late January), lower dispatch with fuel oil and lower Energía Plus prices. The commissioning of PEPE IV partially offset these effects. Compared to Q4 23, sales increased by 9% due to higher thermal demand after El Niño affected our dispatch through increased water levels and mild weather conditions.

^[5]^ Under IFRS the results of the affiliated CTEB (567 MW) are not consolidated in the FS. However, it is an asset co-operated by Pampa, and its EBITDA is incorporated at our ownership in the adjusted EBITDA.

In operating terms, Pampa’s operated power generation increased by 3% vs. Q1 23, in line with the 2% increase in the Argentine power grid. This increase is mainly explained by the commissioning of CTEB’s CCGT in February 2023 (+467 GWh), higher water and irrigation in HINISA and HIDISA due to El Niño effect (+247 GWh), higher dispatch in CTG, CTP and CTGEBA in response to the increased demand (+193 GWh), in addition to the commissioning of PEPE IV (+52 GWh). These increases were partially offset by lower dispatch in CPB, CTPP and CTIW (-516 GWh), CTLL’s outage mentioned before (-162 GWh), and the divestment of PEMC (-83 GWh).

The availability of Pampa’s operated units reached 96.2% in Q1 24, a 353-basis points improvement vs. Q1 23’s 92.6%, mainly due to CTLL, CTG and CPB’s outages in Q1 23. Therefore, a 95.2% thermal availability rate was registered in Q1 24, 470 basis points more than 90.5% from Q1 23.

Note: Gross margin before amortization and depreciation. It includes CTEB, operated by Pampa (co-operated by Pampa, 50% equity stake). PEMC was de-consolidated in August 2023.

Without depreciation and amortizations, net operating costs decreased to US$57 million, 12% lower than Q1 23, mainly explained by lower labor, maintenance and power and gas transportation costs in AR$, in addition to higher interests from CAMMESA, due to increase in rate and delays. These effects were partially offset by higher insurance policies and contractors’ costs. Compared to Q4 23, operating costs rose 19%, due to lower electricity purchases to cover contracts in Q4 23 and CAMMESA’s payments were slower.

To reflect the on-time changes in the settlement of CAMMESA’s past transactions described before, we recorded a US$34 million impairment over trade receivables in Q1 24, of which US$17 million corresponds to the January 2024 transaction invoiced to CAMMESA.

Financialresults from Q1 24 reached a net profit of US$38 million, higher than the US$9 million profit recorded in Q1 23, mainly due to gains from holding financial instruments and lower financial interests due to the repayment of AR$-denominated CBs.

AdjustedEBITDA from the power generation segment reached US$85 million, a 22% decrease year-on-year, mainly due to payment haircut on CAMMESA’s January 2024 invoice described above, lower sales associated with the reduction of spot energy prices and, to a lesser extent, Energía Plus prices, in addition to CTLL TG05’s outage and PEMC’s divestment. These effects were partially offset by lower operating expenditures, higher gas-fired power dispatch and the commissioning of PEPE IV. Adjusted EBITDA considers CTEB’s 50% ownership, which accrued US$16 million in Q1 24 vs. US$7 million in Q1 23, explained by the CCGT’s PPA. It excludes commercial interests for delayed collections, accrual of PPE’s expenses as operating expenditures, contingency provisions for the concession’s termination at Mendoza hydros and the impairment on CAMMESA’s December 2023 invoice for US$17 million.

Finally, without CTEB, capital expenditures registered US$24 million in Q1 24 vs. US$93 million in Q1 23, explained by the commissioning of PEPE IV in 2023 and the last disbursements of PEPE VI, which is estimated to be fully commissioned by October 2024.

In operating terms, total production reached 73.1 kboe per day in Q1 24 (+27% vs. Q1 23 and +30% vs. Q4 23). Gas production recorded 11.7 million m^3^ per day (+31% vs. Q1 23 and +32% vs. Q4 23) mainly explained by the higher volumes awarded under Plan Gas.Ar, thanks to the commissioning of GPNK in August 2023, lightening bottlenecks in the main gas pipelines. Moreover, the demand from power thermal plants increased due to higher temperatures.

Analyzingthe gas output by block, 64% of our total output in Q1 24 came from El Mangrullo, which recorded 7.4 million m^3^ per day (+29% vs. Q1 23 and +58% vs. Q4 23). In Sierra Chata, the production increased to 2.4 million m^3^ per day (+94% vs. Q1 23 and +8% vs. Q4 23) due to the outstanding productivity of its shale wells. At non-operated blocks, Río Neuquén remained at 1.5 million m^3^ per day (similar to Q1 23 and Q4 23), while Rincón del Mangrullo continued the natural depletion, contributing 0.2 million m^3^ per day (-5% vs. Q1 23 but similar to Q4 23).

Our gas price in Q1 24 was US$3.2 per MBTU (-18% vs. Q1 23 but similar to Q4 23), explained by lower volumes and prices exported to Chile. It is worth noting that in Q1 23, a sharp drought affected Chile and Argentina, shooting up the gas demand. Compared to Q4 23, foreign demand recovered substantially, reaching ToP levels stipulated in contracts.

Regarding our gas deliveries, during Q1 24, 66% was destined for thermal power generation and 9% for the retail segment, both under Plan Gas.Ar framework. Moreover, 14% was sold to the industrial/spot market, 8% was exported, and the remaining was sold as raw material to our petchem plants. In contrast, in Q1 23, 49% supplied thermal power units, 21% to the industrial/spot market, 15% was exported, 11% to the retail segment and the remaining was sold to our petchem plants.

Oilproduction reached 4.3 kbbl per day in Q1 24 (-16% vs. Q1 23 and -4% vs. Q4 23), explained by year-on-year drops of 0.8 kbbl per day at El Tordillo due to its natural depletion and 0.5 kbbl per day at Los Blancos due to temporary well shut-in, partially offset by associated crude oil from Sierra Chata and the completion in March of a shale oil well in Rincón de Aranda (+0.6 kbbl per day).

Our oil price in Q1 24 was slightly higher than in Q1 23, reaching US$69.9 per bbl, being domestic and foreign prices very close. 69% of our sales were destined to the domestic market vs. 80% in Q1 23.

By the end of Q1 24, we accounted for 804 productive wells vs. 813 as of 2023.

Net operating costs in Q1 24, excluding depreciation, amortization, Plan Gas.Ar compensation and the gains from the settlement of exports at a differential FX decreased 11% vs. Q1 23 to US$82 million but remained stable vs. Q4 23, mainly due to variations in the crude oil stock, higher commercial interests due to increased collection delays from CAMMESA and lower labor costs, partially offset by higher maintenance, treatment and gas transportation costs due to increased gas activity.

The lifting cost per boe decreased, reaching US$5.8 per boe produced in Q1 24 (-19% vs. Q1 23 and -22% vs. Q4 23), mainly explained by larger production volumes.

Plan Gas.Ar compensation and gains from exporting at a differential FX reached US$7 million and US$1 million in Q1 24, respectively—a sharp three-time increase in Plan Gas.Ar is due to the AR$ devaluation impacting the regulated PIST gas price, making wider the difference with the contracted price in US$. The differential FX income decreased vs. Q4 23 because of the shrinking gap between official FX and CCL.

Financialresults in Q1 24 recorded net losses of US$29 million, a 12% improvement vs. Q1 23, mainly explained by lower financial interests due to the decrease in AR$-debt stock. Lower gains from holding financial securities partially offset these effects.

Our oil and gas adjusted EBITDA amounted to US$70 million in Q1 24 (+14% vs. Q1 23), mainly explained by higher gas sales in the domestic market, partially offset by lower exports to Chile and crude oil sales. The adjusted EBITDA of Q1 24 excludes commercial interests for late collection, mainly charged to CAMMESA.

Finally, capital expenditures amounted to US$88 million in Q1 24 (similar to Q1 23), mainly driven by the beginning of the shale oil pilot plan in Rincón de Aranda, partially offset by the shale gas ramp-up activity during 2023.

The petrochemicals segment’s adjusted EBITDA reached US$11 million in Q1 24, a 58% increase vs. Q1 23, mainly explained by higher sales of reforming products, both in local and foreign markets, and, to a lesser extent, higher SBR exports. In addition, lower operating costs related to the FX variation and the profit from the settlement of exports at a differential FX were recorded, reaching US$3 million. The drop in international reference prices partially offset these effects and, except for the reforming, lower dispatch of all the segment’s products in the domestic market, correlated with the lower economic activity.

Total volume sold increased by 7% vs. Q1 23, reaching 110 thousand tons, mainly explained by higher octane basis sales in the local market and higher exports of naphtha, in line with the increased processing of virgin naphtha. Lower local demand for styrene, polystyrene, and SBR partially offset these effects.

The holding and others segment, excluding the affiliates’ equity income (Transener and TGS), posted a US$24 million operatingloss in Q1 24, while it was a US$6 million loss in Q1 23, mainly explained by the provision for the arbitration award result with POSA for US$16 million, along with other requirements for contingencies, partially offset by lower labor costs.

In Q1 24, financial results reached a net loss of US$7 million, while it was a US$33 million net gain in Q1 23, mainly due to lower FX profit from the dilution of fiscal liabilities.

The adjusted EBITDA of our holding and others segment decreased by 22% year-on-year, reaching US$23 million in Q1 24. The adjusted EBITDA excludes the equity income from our participation in TGS and Transener. In turn, it adds the EBITDA adjusted by equity ownership in these businesses.

In TGS, the EBITDA adjusted by our stake was US$27 million in Q1 24, similar to Q1 23, mainly explained by higher US$-denominated sales, due to the inflation evolution that resulted higher than the AR$ devaluation. In addition, the midstream segment also increased its sales, mainly because of higher transportation and conditioning services for natural gas in Vaca Muerta, and the operation and maintenance of the GPNK. Furthermore, the liquids segment’s EBITDA grew because of a decrease in US$-denominated gas costs, partially offset by lower traded volumes of gasoline and ethane, the latter due to client operational restrictions. However, the regulated business continues to perform below inflation, as the tariff increase set in Res. ENARGAS No. 112/24 will be applicable from April 2024.

In Transener, the EBITDA adjusted by our stake was US$6 million loss in Q1 24 vs. a US$10 million loss in Q1 23, mainly due to the tariff increase applicable from February 2024 (179.7% Transener and 191.1% Transba). The EBITDA excludes insurance collection for the failure of synchronous compensators at Ezeiza transformer station, which amounted to US$3 million in Q1 24.
