Revenue
Revenue from our oil and gas segment increased 69%, to U.S.$247 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to U.S.$146 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. This increase is primarily attributable to the ramp-up in crude oil production at the Rincón de Aranda block, partially offset by lower oil sales prices under hedge accounting, as described in the following paragraph. To a lesser extent, the increase in revenues is driven by higher gas sales volumes to Enarsa under Plan GasAr, as well as to industrial clients and through higher export volumes, which were partially offset by lower gas export prices.
The average sales price for oil was U.S.$58.2/bbl for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, 15% lower than the U.S.$68.4/bbl average sale price for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, mainly due to the impact of crude oil sales contracts entered into during 2025 and 2026, a portion of which were designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted crude oil sales volumes for the period from May 2025 through April 2027. If such cash flow hedge contracts had not been in effect, average prices for oil sales would have reached U.S.$69.5/bbl.

Cost of Sales
The cost of sales from our oil and gas segment increased by 51%, to U.S.$178 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, from U.S.$118 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The variation is mainly due to higher lifting costs related to higher treatment costs mainly due to the expansion of temporary production facilities at the Rincón de Aranda block to reach commercial specifications, increased property, plant and equipment depreciation, and increased royalties related to higher crude oil production and gas production.
Gross Profit
Gross profit from our oil and gas segment increased by 146%, from U.S.$28 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, to U.S.$69 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. This variation is mainly explained by the increase in crude oil and gas sales volumes, partially offset by higher costs, and lower average oil sales prices.
Additionally, the gross margin on sales increased to 28% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to 19% for the same period in 2025.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses from our oil and gas segment increased to U.S.$22 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to U.S.$17 million for the same period in 2025 due to increased oil and gas transportation expenses, driven by crude oil production growth at the Rincón de Aranda block, increased gas production at the Sierra Chata block and greater volume of gas exports to Chile.

Operating Income (loss)
The operating income from our oil and gas segment increased by U.S.$35 million to U.S.$26 million gain for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to a U.S.$9 million loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
The operating margin in relation to sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, increased to 11% compared to -6% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
Financial Results, Net
Financial results, net from our oil and gas segment amounted to a U.S.$15 million loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to a U.S.$29 million loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, mainly attributable to foreign currency exchange gains compared to foreign currency exchange losses over the net monetary asset position in Argentine Pesos in line with the strengthening of the Argentine Peso as against the U.S. dollar in the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the devaluation of the Argentine Peso as against the U.S. dollar in the same period in 2025.
Income Tax
Our oil and gas segment recorded an income tax benefit of U.S.$94 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to an income tax charge of U.S.$11 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The variation is mainly related to higher recognition of a non-cash credit on deferred income tax due to inflation and the strengthening of the Argentine Peso as against the U.S. dollar.
Profit (Loss) of the period
As a result of the foregoing, our oil and gas segment recorded a U.S.$105 million profit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to a U.S.$49 million loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, both of which were entirely attributable to the owners of the Company.

Revenue
Revenue from our generation segment increased by U.S.$84 million, amounting to U.S.$279 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to U.S.$195 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
This increase is mainly explained by higher spot prices driven by the implementation, effective November 1, 2025, of the new spot regime in Argentina pursuant to SE Resolution No. 400/25. This effect was partially offset by lower fuel recognition due to the reassignment of the Plan GasAr agreements’ volumes, and by the unscheduled outage of CTLL’s TG04, which has been out of service since January 14, 2026 and is expected to remain offline until the end of June 2026.
Power generation during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 decreased by 3%, to 4,664 GWh compared to 4,795 GWh for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, mainly due to lower hydroelectric generation and the outage of CTLL’s TG04 as described above, partially offset by an increase in wind generation and higher CPB thermal generation.
