General Information And Group Structure | |
GENERAL INFORMATION AND GROUP STRUCTURE | NOTE 1 1.1 General information of the Company The Company is a fully integrated power company in Argentina, which directly and through its subsidiaries, participates in the electric energy and gas value chains. In the generation segment, the Company, directly and through its subsidiaries and joint ventures, has a 4,955 MW installed capacity, which represents approximately 12% of Argentina’s installed capacity, and is the second largest independent generator in the country. Additionally, the Company is currently undergoing a process to expand its capacity by 295 MW. In the distribution segment, the Company has a controlling interest in Edenor, the largest electricity distributor in Argentina, which has more than 3.2 million customers and a concession area covering the Northern part of the City of Buenos Aires and Northwestern Greater Buenos Aires. On account of the execution of the contract for the sale of the 51% interest in Edenor (see detail in Note 5.3.1), all Edenor’s assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2020, and the associated results and cash flows, for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, are disclosed under discontinued operations. In the oil and gas segment, the Company develops an important activity in gas and oil exploration and production, with operations in 13 production areas and 5 exploratory areas reaching a production level of 6.9 million m3/day of natural gas and 4,400 barrels/day of oil equivalent for oil in Argentina, as of December 31, 2020. Its main natural gas production blocks are located in the Provinces of Neuquén and Río Negro. The results and cash flows for 2018 associated with the divestment mentioned in Note 5.3.2 are disclosed under discontinued operations. In the petrochemicals segment, operations are located in the Republic of Argentina, where the Company operates three high-complexity plants producing styrene, synthetic rubber and polystyrene, with a domestic market share ranging between 85% and 98%. Finally, through the holding and others segment, the Company participates in the 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 21,090 km high-voltage electricity transmission network in Argentina with an 85% 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 9,231 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. Besides, the Company owns a 28.5% direct interest in Refinor, which has a refinery with an installed capacity of 25.8 kb of oil per day and 91 gas stations. Additionally, the segment includes advisory services provided to related companies. The results and cash flows for 2018 associated with the divestment of the main assets of the refining and distribution segment mentioned in Note 5.3.3 are disclosed under discontinued operations in the Holding and others segment. 1.2 Economic context in which the Company operates The Company operates in a complex economic context which main variables have recently suffered significant volatility both in the domestic and international spheres. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 caused by the Coronavirus has brought about several consequences globally. Most governments around the world, including the Argentine Government, implemented drastic measures to contain the spread of the virus, including, but not limited to, the closure of borders and the mandatory lockdown of the population, halting non-essential economic activities and generating a pronounced decrease in the economic activity and production levels. As a result, most governments implemented a series of tax aid measures to sustain the income of part of the affected population, mitigate the risk of disruptions in payment chains and avoid financial crises. Globally, as from the month of May, a gradual lockdown easing process started; however, some countries experienced a new increase in infection levels, which led to the temporary reimplementation of some measures. In Argentina, the social, preventive and mandatory lockdown measures decreed by the Federal Government as from March 20, 2020 have affected the power industry, mainly in the second and third quarters of 2020, as detailed below: - As regards the electric power generation market, in the second and third quarters of 2020 the SADI’s net demand for electricity decreased by 5.7% and 2.0% compared to the same periods of 2019, mainly due to the lower industrial and commercial activity resulting from the social lockdown. Furthermore, the tariff freeze and the social lockdown have generated delays in the electricity distribution company’s payment chain, added to deferrals in the National Treasury contributions, as a result of which CAMMESA has recorded a growing delay in payment terms to generation and hydrocarbon producers, reaching a maximum of 45 days in July 2020. Additionally, the SE instructed CAMMESA to suspend the automatic adjustment mechanism for the spot remuneration set by SE Resolution No. 31/20. - As regards the gas sector, in the second and third quarters of 2020 gas production recorded a 9.0% and 10.2% year-on-year decrease, respectively, due to the restraining effects of the social, preventive and mandatory lockdown, combined with a higher efficiency of power generation facilities as a result of the renewable and thermal energy installed over the last three years. The average price of gas at wellhead in the second and third quarters of 2020 amounted to US$2.2 and US$2.4 per MMBTU, respectively, experiencing an approximate 35% decrease compared with the same periods of 2019. This decrease is mainly due to the lower prices tendered at CAMMESA’s monthly calls, the lower industrial activity and the diluting effect of inflation on the price of gas sold to distributors. - The economic recession caused by the spread of COVID-19, the significant decline in the demand for fuels and the disagreement between producers that are members of the Organization of Oil Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and non-OPEC (“OPEC+”) producers resulted in a supply and storage crisis of such magnitude that the oil market was greatly impacted. The WTI showed a record drop, reaching -37.63 US$/bbl, whereas the Brent price fell below 20 US$/bbl. After the cutbacks on supply implemented by the OPEC and the OPEC+ and the gradual easing of lockdown measures attempted by several countries, a recovery trend was evidenced in the listings of crude oil and its derivatives, with the Brent crude oil showing a sustained quotation above 40 US$/bbl as from mid-June. Even though domestic oil prices use international values as benchmarks, they have experienced a strong decline as a result of the collapse in demand. In this sense, on May 18, 2020, the Federal Government set a support price of 45 US$/barrel for the domestic production. However, this support price was suspended as a result of the increase in the Brent reference price. (see Note 2.3.2). - As regards the petrochemicals segment, during the second quarter of 2020 there was a significant decrease in the demand for certain products sold by the Company, such as styrene and octane bases and, to a lesser extent, polystyrene. As a result of these declines, the styrene and reforming plants halted production for 40 and 60 days, respectively, between May and June, whereas the polystyrene plant stopped production for 30 days in June. Furthermore, the production of rubber had to be suspended in the months of April and May as it was not considered an essential activity and in line with the shutdown of its main domestic customers, which impacted on the recoverability of inventories of several raw materials and products for sale, generating the posting of an allowance for impairment of inventory for US$ 11 million.. Sold volumes experienced a substantial improvement as from the third quarter of 2020 as a result of the recovery of the industrial activity and the international context. The Argentine economy was undergoing a recession process, which was deepened by the described COVID-19 pandemic, with an accumulated 11.8% year-on-year fall in the GDP as of the third quarter of 2020, a 36.1% cumulative inflation (CPI) for 2020 and a 40.5% depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar according to the BNA’s exchange rate. Furthermore, stricter exchange restrictions were imposed (see Note 2.7), which affect the value of the foreign currency in existing alternative markets for certain exchange transactions that are restricted in the official market. The context of volatility and uncertainty continues as of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s Management permanently monitors the evolution of the variables affecting its business to define its course of action and identify potential impacts on its assets and financial position. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in the light of these circumstances. |

Finally, it established that the new values set would be updated monthly from the second month of implementation, through a factor that envisages a 60% adjustment by IPC and a 40% adjustment by IPIM. However, on 8 April 2020, through Note No. 2020-24910606-APN-SE-MDP of 8 April 2020, the SE instructed CAMMESA to postpone until a new decision the implementation of the above-mentioned automatic adjustment mechanism, which has not been restored to the date of issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements. 2.1.2.1 Remuneration for Available Power Capacity 2.1.2.1.1 Thermal Power Generators Resolution SEE No. 19/17 set a minimum remuneration for power capacity based on technology and scale, and allowed generating, co-generating and self-generating agents owning conventional thermal power plants to offer guaranteed availability commitments for the energy and power capacity generated by their units and not committed under sales contracts with large users within the MAT and supply agreements with CAMMESA. This scheme remains in force until the current resolution. In Resolution SEE No. 19/17, the availability commitments for each unit were declared for a term of three years, together with information for the summer seasonal programming, with the possibility to offer different availability values for the summer and winter six-month periods. The thermal generators’ remuneration for committed power capacity was proportional to their compliance. In SRRYME Resolution No. 1/19 and SE Resolution No. 31/20, an offer scheme for quarterly periods was established: a) summer (December through February); b) winter (June through August), and c) ‘Other’, which comprises two quarters (March through May, and September through November). The power remuneration for thermal generators with commitments is proportional to their compliance. The minimum remuneration for generators with no availability commitments includes the following scales and prices: Technology / Scale SEE No. 19/17 (US$ / MW-month) SRRYME No. 1/19 (US$ / MW-month) SE No. 31/20 (AR$ / MW-month) Large CC Capacity > 150 MW 3,050 3,050 100,650 Large ST Capacity > 100 MW 4,350 4,350 143,550 Small ST Capacity > 100 MW 5,700 5,200 171,600 Large GT Capacity > 50 MW 3,550 3,550 117,150 The remuneration for guaranteed power capacity to generators with availability commitments is: Period SEE No. 19/17 (US$ / MW-month) SRRYME No. 1/19 (US$ / MW-month) SE No. 31/20 (AR$ / MW-month) Summer – Winter 7,000 7,000 360,000 Fall - Spring 7,000 5,500 270,000 Under SRRYME Resolution No. 1/19 provided for the application on the power capacity remuneration of a coefficient derived from the average utilization factor over the unit’s last twelve months: with a minimum 70% of the utilization factor, 100% of the power capacity payment was collected; if the utilization was between 30% and 70%, the power capacity payment ranged from 70% to 100%; and if the utilization factor was lower than 30%, 70% of the power capacity payment was collected. SE Resolution No. 31/20 maintained the same formula than the previous regime, but in case the utilization factor is lower than 30%, 60% of the power capacity payment is collected. Finally, SEE Resolution No. 19/17 established an additional remuneration of 2,000 US$/MW-month aiming to encourage availability commitments in the grid’s higher demand periods, that was abolished by SRRYME Resolution No. 1/19. However, the SE Resolution No. 31/20 established an additional remuneration for the hours of maximum thermal requirement of the month (hmrt), which corresponds to the 50 hours with the largest dispatch of thermal generation of each month divided into two blocks of 25 hours each, applying the following prices to the average generated power: Period First 25 hours ($ / MW-hmrt) Second 25 hours ($ / MW-hmrt) Summer – Winter 45,000 22,500 Fall - Spring 7,500 - 2.1.2.1.2 Hydroelectric Generators Resolutions SEE No. 19/17 and SRRYME No. 1/19 set a base remuneration and an additional remuneration for power capacity. Power capacity availability was determined independently of the reservoir level, the contributions made, or the expenses incurred. Furthermore, in the case of pumping hydroelectric power plants, the operation as turbine and pump at all hours within the period was considered to calculate availability. The base and the additional remunerations included the following scales and prices: Technology / Scale Base (US$ / MW-month) Additional (US$ / MW-month) Medium HI Capacity > 120 ≤ 300 MW 3,000 1,000 Small HI Capacity > 50 ≤ 120 MW 4,500 1,000 Medium Pumped HI Capacity > 120 ≤ 300 MW 2,000 500 Renewable HI Capacity ≤ 50 MW 8,000 1,000 Under SEE Res. No. 19/17, the payment for power capacity was determined by the actual power capacity plus that under programmed and/or agreed maintenance, whereas under SRRYME Res, No. 1/19, hours of unavailability due to programmed and/or agreed maintenance were not computed for the calculation of the power capacity remuneration. However, in order to contemplate the incidence of programmed maintenance works in power plants, from May 2019, pursuant to SME Note No. 46631495/19, the application of a 1.05 factor over the power capacity payment was established. In case of hydroelectric power plants that were responsible for control structures on river courses and did not have an associated power plant, a 1.20 factor was applied to the plant at the headwaters. The allocation and collection of 50% of the additional remuneration was conditional upon the generator taking out insurance, to CAMMESA’s satisfaction, to cover for major incidents on critical equipment, as well as upon the progressive updating of the plant’s control systems pursuant to an investment plan to be submitted in accordance with criteria defined by the SEE. The following are the power by technology and scale values set under SE Resolution No. 31/20: Technology / Scale SE No. 31/20 (AR$ / MW-month) Medium HI Capacity > 120 ≤ 300 MW 132,000 Small HI Capacity > 50 ≤ 120 MW 181,500 Medium Pumped HI Capacity > 120 ≤ 300 MW 132,000 Renewable HI Capacity ≤ 50 MW 297,000 Period First 25 hours ($ / MW-hmrt) Second 25 hours ($ / MW-hmrt) Summer – Winter 39,000 19,500 Fall - Spring 6,500 - Furthermore, SE Resolution 31/20 maintains the application of a 1.05 factor over the power capacity to compensate the incidence of programmed maintenance works and the 1.20 factor for units maintaining control structures on river courses and not having an associated power plant is maintained. 2.1.2.1.3 Wind generators SEE Resolution No. 19/17 established a remuneration associated with the availability of the installed equipment at a base price of 7.5 US$/MW and an additional price of 17.5 US$/MW, which was abrogated by SRRYME Resolution No. 1/19. 2.1.2.2 Remuneration for Generated and Operated Energy Resolutions SEE No. 19/17 and SRRYME No. 1/19 set a remuneration for generated energy with prices ranging from 5 to 10 US$/MWh and from 4 US$/MWh to 7 US$/MWh, respectively, depending on the technology and type of fuel used. The remuneration for operated energy applicable to the integration of hourly power capacities for the period was valued at 2.0 US$/MWh and 1.4 US$/MWh for any type of fuel under Resolutions SEE No. 19/17 and SRRYME Resolution No. 1/19, respectively. SE Resolution No. 31/20 establishes a remuneration for Generated Energy with prices ranging between 240 and 420 $/MWh, depending on the type of fuel and a remuneration for Operated Energy, with an 84 $/MWh price for any type of fuel. It should be noted that, in the event that the generation unit is dispatched outside the optimal dispatch, remuneration for generated energy will be set at 60% of the net installed power capacity, regardless of the energy delivered by the generation unit. In the case of hydroelectric power plants, prices for generated and operated energy under Resolutions SEE No. 19/17 and SRRYME No. 1/19 were 3.5 and 1.4 US$/MWh, respectively, regardless of the scale. Under SE Resolution No. 31/20, they are remunerated at 210 $/MWh and 84 $/MWh, respectively. The remuneration for operated energy must correspond to the optimal dispatch of the system, however, the resolution does not indicate what the consequence would be otherwise. In the case of hydroelectric pumping plants, both the energy generated and the one consumed for pumping are considered. In addition, if it functions as a synchronous compensator, 60 $/MVAr will be recognized for the megavolt exchanged with the network when required and 84 $/MWh for the energy operated. As regards energy generated from unconventional sources, SRRYME Resolution No. 1/19 established a single remuneration value of US$ 28/MWh, irrespective of the source used. SE Resolution No. 31/20 sets a value of 1,680 $/MWh. Energy generated prior to the commissioning by the Organismo Encargado del Despacho will be remunerated at 50% of the above-mentioned remuneration. 2.1.2.3 Additional Remuneration for Efficiency and for Low-Use Thermal Generators SEE Resolution No. 19/17 provided for an efficiency incentive that consisted of the recognition of an additional remuneration equivalent to the remuneration for the generated energy by the percentage difference between the actual consumption and the reference consumption determined for each unit and fuel type, as well as an additional remuneration for low-use thermal generators and having frequent startups based on the monthly generated energy for a price of 2.6 US$/MWh multiplied by the usage/startup factor, which were abrogated under the scheme set under SRRYME Resolution No. 1/19. 2.1.2.4 Suspension of contracts within the MAT The suspension of contracts within the MAT (excluding those derived from a differential remuneration scheme) provided for by SE Resolution No. 95/13 remains in effect. 2.1.3 Sales contracts with large users within the MAT 2.1.3.1 Energy Plus With the purpose of encouraging new generation works, in 2006 the SE approved Resolution No. 1,281/06 established a specific regime which would remunerate newly installed generation sold to a certain category of Large Users at higher prices. The Energy Plus service consists of the offer of additional generation availability by generators, co-generators and self-generators which, as of the date of publication of SE Resolution No. 1,281/06, were not WEM agents or did not have facilities or an interconnection with the WEM; Considering that: - These plants should have fuel supply and transportation facilities; - The energy used by GU300 in excess of the Base Demand (energy consumption for 2005 year) qualifies for Energy Plus agreements within the MAT at a price negotiated between the parties; and - For new GU300 entering the system, their Base Demand will equal zero. If a generator cannot meet the power demand by an Energy Plus customer, it should purchase that power in the market at the operated marginal cost, or, alternatively, support the committed demand in case of unavailability through agreements with other Energía Plus generators. Currently, the Company has Power Availability agreements in force with other generators whereby, in case of unavailability, it may purchase or sell power to support the contracts mutually. Furthermore, the SE, through Note No. 567/07, as amended, established that GU300 not purchasing their surplus demand in the MAT should pay the Average Incremental Charge of Surplus Demand. As from the month of June 2018, pursuant to SE Note No. 28663845/18, the CMIDE became the greater of $1,200/MWh or the temporary dispatch surcharge. Due to the drop in surplus demand as a consequence of the decrease in the economic activity, some GU300 decide not to enter into Energy Plus contracts (with higher prices), and generators have to sell their energy at the spot market with lower profitability margins. Additionally, the Energy Plus contracts market continues being affected by the migration of demand towards renewable energy contracts in the MAT ER. Under this regime, the Company —through its power plants Güemes, EcoEnergía and Genelba— sells its energy and power capacity for a maximum amount of 283 MW. The values of Energy Plus contracts are mostly denominated in U.S. dollars. 2.1.3.2 Renewable Energy Term Market (“MAT ER” Regime) Pursuant to Resolution No. 281/17, the MEyM regulated the MAT ER Regime with the purpose of setting the conditions for large users within the WEM and WEM distributing agents’ large users covered by Section 9 of Law No. 27,191 to meet their demand supply obligation from renewable sources through the individual purchase within the MAT ER from renewable sources or self-generation from renewable sources. Furthermore, it regulates the conditions applicable to projects for the generation, self-generation and co-generation of electric power from renewable sources, and creates the el Registro Nacional de Proyectos de Generación de Energía Eléctrica de Fuente Renovable for the registration of these projects. Projects destined to the supply of electric power from renewable sources under the MAT ER Regime may not be covered by other remuneration mechanisms, such as the agreements under the Renovar rounds. Surplus energy will be sold in the spot market. Finally, contracts executed under the MAT ER Regime will be administered and managed in accordance with the WEM procedures. The contractual terms —life, allocation priorities, prices and other conditions, notwithstanding the maximum price set forth in Section 9 of Law No. 27,191— may be freely agreed between the parties, although the committed electricity volumes will be limited by the electric power from renewable sources produced by the generator or supplied by other generators or suppliers with which it has purchase agreements in place. Within the framework of this provision, the Company, through its PEPE II and III wind farms, sells energy for a maximum amount of 106 MW and, additionally, has started selling third-party generators’ renewable energy for an approximate volume of 2 MW. 2.1.4 Supply Agreements with CAMMESA 2.1.4.1 SE Resolution No. 220/07 (“Agreement Res.220”) Aiming to encourage new investments to increase the generation offer, the SE passed Resolution No. 220/07, which empowers CAMMESA to enter into Agreement with WEM Generating Agents for the energy produced with new equipment. These will be long-term agreements and the price payable by CAMMESA should compensate the investments made by the agent at a rate of return to be accepted by the SE. Under this regulation, the Company, through its power plants Piquirenda, Loma de La Lata and Barragán, has executed Agreement Res.220 to sell energy and power capacity for a total amount of 856 MW. It is worth mentioning that the 10-year term for Piquirenda and Loma de la Lata contracts (210 MW) expires in July and November 2021, respectively. Besides, Barragán has an expansion project underway to add 280 MW under this scheme, which commissioning is estimated for the first quarter of 2022. For further information on the project to the CC at CTB, see Note 16.1.3. 2.1.4.2 SEE Resolution No. 21/16 As a result of the state of emergency in the national electricity sector, the SEE issued Resolution No. 21/16 calling for parties interested in offering new thermal power generation capacity with the commitment to making it available through the WEM for the 2016/2017 summer; 2017 winter, and 2017/2018 summer periods. For the awarded projects, wholesale power purchase agreements were entered into with CAMMESA for a term of 10 years, with a remuneration made up of the available power capacity price plus the variable non-fuel cost for the delivered energy and the fuel cost (if offered), less penalties and fuel surpluses. Surplus power capacity is sold in the spot market. Pursuant to this resolution, the Company, through its Loma de la Lata, Ingeniero White and Pilar thermal power plants, has effective agreements with CAMMESA for the sale of energy and power capacity for a total 305 MW. 2.1.4.3 SEE Resolution No. 287/17 On May 10, 2017 the SEE issued Resolution No. 287/17 launching a call for tenders for co-generation projects and the closing to CC over existing equipment. The projects should have low specific consumption (lower than 1,680 kcal/kWh with natural gas and 1,820 kcal/kWh with alternative liquid fuels), and the new capacity should not exceed the existing electric power transmission capacity; otherwise, the cost of the necessary extensions will be borne by the bidder. For the awarded projects, wholesale power purchase agreements were entered into for a term of 15 years, with a remuneration made up of the available power capacity price plus the variable non-fuel cost for the delivered energy and the fuel cost (if offered), less penalties and fuel surpluses. Surplus power capacity is sold in the spot market. Pursuant to this regulation, the Company, through its Genelba thermal power plant, has entered into an agreement with CAMMESA for the sale of energy and power capacity for a total 400 MW (see Note 16.1.2). 2.1.4.4 Renovar Programs In order to meet the objectives, set by Law No. 26,190 and Law No. 27,191 promoting the use of renewable sources of energy, the MEyM called for open rounds for the hiring of electric power from renewable sources (RenovAr Programs, Rounds 1, 1.5 and 2) within the WEM. These calls aimed to assign power capacity contracts from different technologies (wind energy, solar energy, biomass, biogas and small hydraulic developments with a power capacity of up to 50 MW). For the awarded projects, renewable electric power supply agreements were executed for the sale of an annual committed electric power block for a term of 20 years. Additionally, several measures have been established to promote the construction of projects for the generation of energy from renewable sources, including tax benefits (advance VAT reimbursement, accelerated depreciation of the income tax, import duty exemptions, etc.) and the creation of a fund for the development of renewable energies destined, among other objectives, to the granting of loans and capital contributions for the financing of such projects. Under this regulation, the Company, through Greenwind, has a supply agreement in place with CAMMESA for a total 100 MW. 2.1.5 Fuel supply for thermal power plants On November 6, 2018, SGE Resolution No. 70/18 was published in the BO, which empowered generating, co-generating and self-generating agents within the WEM to acquire the fuels required for own generation; this resolution superseded SE Resolution No. 95/13, which provided that fuel supply for electric power generation would be centralized in CAMMESA (with the exception of generation under the Energy Plus regime). Under the scheme set forth by SGE Resolution No. 70/18, the cost of generation with own fuels was valued according to the mechanism for the recognition of the Variable Production Costs recognized by CAMMESA. During its term of validity, CAMMESA remained in charge of the commercial management and the dispatch of fuels for generators that do not or cannot make use of this option. In the seasonal programming conducted on November 12, 2018, the Company opted to make use of the self-supply option, and allocated a significant part of its natural gas production as an input for the dispatch of its thermal units. On December 27, 2019, the Ministry of Productive Development passed Resolution No. 12/19, abrogating, effective as from December 30, 2019, SGE Resolution No. 70/18, and re-establishing the validity of section 8 and section 4 of SE Resolutions No. 95/13 and 529/14, respectively, thus restoring the centralized scheme in CAMMESA for the supply of fuels for generation purposes (except for generators under the Energy Plus scheme and with Wholesale Power Purchase Agreements under Resolution No. 287/17). In December 2020, on account of the implementation of the GasAr Plan (see Note 2.3.2.1.2), SE Resolution No. 354/20 was passed, which established a new dispatch order for generation units based on the fuel supplied for their operation under a centralized dispatch scheme. SE Resolution No. 354/20 established the gas volumes CAMMESA should prioritize in the electricity dispatch. In this sense, firm volumes to be used by CAMMESA were defined, including: i) volumes corresponding to contracts entered into by CAMMESA with producers acceding to the GasAr Plan; ii) volumes corresponding to contracts executed by adherent producers with generators acceding to the centralized dispatch (these volumes will be discounted by the adherent producers from the applicable quota for which they should enter into contracts with CAMMESA under the GasAr Plan) and; iii) volumes to meet the Take or Pay (“TOP”) obligations under the supply agreement entered into between IEASA and Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos (“YPFB”). Besides, an electricity dispatch priority scheme was set based on the allocation of the natural gas quota taking into consideration the take or pay obligations. To this effect, the following priorities were set (within each priority level, the order of agents is set based on the generator’s production cost): (i) Dispatch Priority 1: Generators, Self-generators and/or Co-generators supplied with a natural gas quota under a TOP Bolivia condition assigned by IEASA. If a generator with a fuel stocking obligation optionally acquires from IEASA natural gas from Bolivia, this volume will be included in this quota. (ii) Dispatch Priority 2: Generators, Self-generators and/or Co-generators supplied by CAMMESA with a natural gas quota from the centralized list of volumes up to the TOP of each contract. (iii) Dispatch Priority 3: Generators, Self-generators and/or Co-generators supplied by CAMMESA with a natural gas quota from the centralized list of volumes for the Daily Maximum Amount (DMA) less those corresponding to the TOP of each contract. (iv) Dispatch Priority 4: Generators, Self-generators and/or Co-generators supplied by CAMMESA with natural gas or LNG coming from other firm commitments undertaken by CAMMESA. (v) Dispatch Priority 5: Generators, Self-generators and/or Co-generators supplied with a gas quota from the unassigned, spot natural gas contracts from any source, acquired by CAMMESA and/or the Generator, according to the supply source. In the case of a generator with own fuel, the maximum amount to be acknowledged will be the corresponding reference prices. As regards the costs associated with the supply of these fuels, it was established that the electricity demand will bear, among others, the regulated transportation costs, the cost of natural gas and the applicable take or pay obligations. Generating agents that kept the possibility to purchase their fuel supply (agents under the Energy Plus Program or with Wholesale Purchase Agreements under Resolution No. 287/17) could opt in or out of CAMMESA’s unified dispatch. Acceding to the unified dispatch involves the operating assignment of the contracted firm gas and transportation volumes. Based on their option, the priority order was modified as described above. In the specific case of generators with wholesale power purchase agreements under SEE Resolution No. 287/17, it was provided that they would have the option of canceling the self-supply obligation and the resulting recognition of its associated costs, having to maintain the respective transportation capacity for its management in the centralized dispatch. The Company assigned the firm gas and transportation volumes committed to the supply of Genelba Plus’ CC and Energy Plus contracts. In the case of the supply to Genelba Plus’ CC, the assignment will remain effective during the life of the GasAr Plan, and it may be revoked by the generator with a minimum advance notice of 30 business days. Within this framework, the parties agreed to enter into an addendum to the Wholesale Power Purchase Agreement to establish the modifications regarding this new supply scheme, which execution is pending as of the issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements. 2.1.6 Agreement for the Regularization and Settlement of Receivables with the WEM On August 5, 2019 and under the call to Generators, the Company and certain subsidiaries executed with CAMMESA an Agreement for the Regularization and Settlement of Receivables with the WEM (the “Agreement”), as instructed through SGE Note NO-2019-66843995-APN-SGE#MHA. Pursuant to the Agreement, CAMMESA undertook to pay the outstanding Sales Liquidations with Maturity Date to be Defined (“LVFVD”) after discounting the debts taken on with the WEM under the Financing Agreements, Loan Agreements and Receivables Assignment Agreements executed by generators, and applying a 18% write-off on the balance. In this sense, the parties have agreed a total net settlement amount for the outstanding LVFVDs taking into consideration the interest update as of July 31, 2019 and the effects of the mentioned write-off, which amounts to $ 2,122.7 million, before tax withholdings for a total amount of $ 392.9 million. Finally, on August 7, 2019, the total agreed amount was collected. In furtherance of the undertaken commitments, the Company and certain subsidiaries have waived all submitted claims and have irrevocably dismissed their rights to file any kind of claim (whether administrative and/or judicial) against the Federal Government, the SGE and/or CAMMESA regarding the outstanding LVFVDs. As a result of the Agreement, the Company has recognized revenues in the amount of US$ 5.9 million and net financial profits for US$ 71.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. 2.1.7 Loosening up of charges and interests in late payment of the economic transaction Resolutions SRRYME No. 29/2019 and SE No. 148/20 provided for a relaxation in the application of penalty interest and charges in case of delays in the payment of economic transactions within the WEM. (i) Reduction of surcharges: (ii) Compensatory and penalty interest (iii) Compensations: . 2.1.8 Generation projects As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (see Note 1.2), through Note NO-2020-37458730-APN-SE#MDP the SE instructed the temporary suspension of terms for the execution of the contracts under the RenovAr Programs (Rounds 1, 1.5, 2 and 3), former SE Resolution No. 712/09, former MEyM Resolution No. 202/16 and former SEE Resolution No. 287/17, as well as for projects within the framework of former MEyM Resolution No. 281/17. The instruction applies to projects which had not been previously commissioned as from March 12, 2020 and until September 12, 2020, both dates inclusive. Consequently, the temporary suspension of notices of non-compliance with the scheduled work progress dates was instructed, both regarding the increase in the contract performance bond and the imposition of the stipulated penalties, as applicable, under all agreements entered into pursuant to such resolutions. Furthermore, it ordered the temporary suspension of notices of breach upon failure to comply with the date scheduled for the commercial commissioning of projects with a dispatch priority under the terms of former MEyM Resolution No. 281/17, and of the collection of the amounts stipulated in the event of breach, in all cases keeping the timely granted dispatch priorities. 2.2 Transmission 2.2.1 Tariff situation The Solidarity Law, which entered into effect on December 23, 2019, provided that electricity tariffs under federal jurisdiction would remain unchanged, and contemplates the possibility to perform an extraordinary review of the current RTI for a maximum term of up to 180 days. In 2020, the ENRE did not apply Transener’s semi-annual tariff update mechanism established in the RTI, the tariff scheme in force being that resulting from the August 2019 update. In this sense, on December 16, 2020, pursuant to Executive Order No. 1020/20, the Federal Government established the beginning of the renegotiation of the current RTI for the electricity and natural gas transportation and distribution utility services, which proceeding may not exceed a term of 2 years. Until the conclusion of each renegotiation, all Agreements corresponding to the respective RTIs in effect will be suspended within the scopes determined in each case by the Regulatory Entities for reasons of public interest. The transitory and final agreements will be entered into with the ENRE or ENARGAS, and the Ministry of Economy ad referendum On January 19, 2021, through Resolution No. 17/21, the ENRE launched the proceeding for the transitory adjustment of tariffs of the transmission public utility aiming to establish a Transitional Tariff Regime until reaching a Final Renegotiation Agreement, and summoning Transportation Companies. In this sense, a request for information to begin this process was received. As of the issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements, Transener has complied with this requirement, prioritizing the operating costs and capital investments required to maintain service quality.

BASIS OF PREPARATION | NOTE 3 These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by IASB and have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors dated March 10, 2021. Significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements are described in Note 4, which have been consistently applied. These accounting policies have been applied consistently by all Group companies. On account of the execution of the contract for the sale of the 51% interest in Edenor (see detail in Note 5.3.1), comparative results corresponding to the electricity distribution segment have been disclosed under “Discontinued operations” in the statement of comprehensive income. Figures corresponding to commercial interest presented in comparative form have been reclassified from Financial income to Other operating income to maintain consistency with this period’s figures in accordance with the change of policy detailed in Note 4. The Company adopted the U.S. dollar as its functional currency commencing on January 1, 2019; therefore, previous comparative figures have been restated in terms of the measuring unit current as of December 31, 2018 in accordance with IAS 29 — “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies”, since the Peso was the Company’s functional currency up to that date. Additionally, other not significant reclassifications have been made to those financial statements to keep the consistency in the presentation with the amounts of the current year. |

ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 4 ACCOUNTING POLICIES The main accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated Consolidated Financial Statements are explained below. The Company has modified its policy for the classification of commercial interest in the statement of comprehensive income as it understands that the items corresponding to late payment surcharges in the cancellation of sales receivables provide relevant information on the business operations and operating flows rather than represent the Company’s financial performance and, therefore, as from this fiscal year, they are disclosed under Other operating income. Management considers that this presentation better reflects the impacts of the operating cycle, allowing for a unified presentation together with other expenses already disclosed under operating expenses (including the impairment of receivables), mainly considering the context detailed in Note 1.2, which furthered the delay in payment terms to generators and hydrocarbon producers. 4.1 New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB effective as of December 31, 2020 and adopted by the Company The Company has applied the following standards and / or amendments for the first time as of January 1, 2020: - Conceptual Framework (issued in March 2018). - IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (amended in October 2018). - IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and NIC 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and errors” (amended in October 2018). - IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, NIC 39 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” (amended in September 2019). - IFRS 16 “Leases” (amended in May 2020) The application of the detailed standards and amendments did not have any impact on the results of the operations or the financial position of the Company. 4.2 New standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB not yet effective and which have not been early adopted by the Company - IFRS 17 -“Insurance Contracts”: issued in May 2017 and modified in June 2020. It supersedes IFRS 4, introduced in 2004 as an interim standard, which gave companies dispensation to carry on accounting for insurance contracts using national accounting standards, thus resulting in several application approaches. IFRS 17 sets the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of information associated with insurance contracts and is applicable as from January 1, 2023, allowing for its early adoption for entities already applying IFRS 9 and IFRS 15. The Company estimates that its application will not have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results or financial position. - IAS 1 - “Presentation of financial statements”: amended in January and July 2020. It incorporates amendments to the classification of liabilities as current or non-current. Amendments are applicable to fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2023, allowing for early adoption. Its application will not have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results or financial position. - IFRS 3 – “Business Combinations”: amended in October 2020. It incorporates references to the definitions of assets and liabilities of the new Conceptual Framework and clarifications associated with contingent assets and liabilities incurred separately from those taken on in a business combination. It applies to business combinations as from January 1, 2022, and allows for its early adoption. - Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards – 2018-2020 Cycle: amendments were issued in May 2020 and are applicable to annual periods starting as from January 1, 2022. The Company estimates that their application will not have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results or financial position. - IAS 16 – “Property, Plant and Equipment”: amended in May 2020. It incorporates modifications on the recognition of inventories, sales and costs of items produced while bringing an item of property, plant and equipment to the location and the conditions necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended. Amendments are applicable to fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2022, allowing for early adoption. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of the application of these modifications in its operating results or financial position. - IAS 37 – “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”: amended in May 2020. It clarifies the scope of the concept of fulfillment cost of an onerous contract. Amendments are applicable to fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2022, allowing for early adoption. The Company estimates that its application will not have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results or financial position. - Amendments to IFRS 9 – “Financial Instruments”, IAS 39 – “Financial instruments: Presentation” and IFRS 7 – “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, IFRS 4 – “Insurance Contracts” and IFRS 16 – “Leases”: amended in August 2020. It incorporates guidelines for the measurement of financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost affected by the reform in the reference interest rate. Amendments are applicable to fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2021. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of the application of these modifications in its operating results or financial position. 4.3 Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates 4.3.1 Functional and presentation currency The information included in these Consolidated Financial Statements is recorded in U.S. Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency, that is, the currency of the primary economic environment where the entity operates. 4.3.2 Foreign-currency transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on each transaction date or valuation date, when items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on the settlement of monetary items and on translating monetary items at the closing of the fiscal year using year-end exchange rate are recognized within the financial results in the statement of comprehensive income, with the exception of capitalized amounts. 4.3.3 Group companies’ translation into functional currency The results and financial position of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates whose functional currency is the Argentine Peso, a currency of a hyperinflationary economy, are translated into the Company’s functional currency using the year-end exchange rate. The results generated by the application of IAS 29 adjustment mechanism for hyperinflationary economies, on the opening equity measured in functional currency are recognized under “Other comprehensive income”. 4.3.4 Classification of Other comprehensive income within the Company’s equity The Company classifies and directly accumulates within equity, in the retained earnings line, the results generated by the application of the IAS 29 adjustment mechanism on the opening retained earnings, while the remaining results are presented in a separate component of equity and accumulated until the disposal of the foreign operation in “Other comprehensive income”, in accordance with IAS 21. 4.4 Principles of consolidation and equity accounting 4.4.1 Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The Group cease consolidation of entities from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group (see Note 4.4.5 below). Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position respectively. 4.4.2 Associates Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control or joint control. This is generally the case where the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting (see Note 4.4.4 below), after initially being recognized at cost. 4.4.3 Joint arrangements Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures, according IFRS 11 “ Joint Arrangements” 4.4.3.1 Joint operations The Company recognizes its direct right to the assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses of joint operations and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses. These have been incorporated in the Consolidated Financial Statements under the appropriate headings. 4.4.3.2 Joint ventures Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (see Note 4.4.4 below), after initially being recognized at cost. 4.4.4 Equity Method Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, together with any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the net investment, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in these entities. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The carrying amount of equity accounted investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described below in Note 4.9. 4.4.5 Business combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisitions comprises: (i) the fair value of the transferred assets, (ii) the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business, (iii) the equity interests issued by the group, (iv) the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and (v) the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The value of the goodwill represents the excess of: Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. The Group has up to 12 months to finalize the accounting for a business combination. Where the accounting for a business combination is not complete by the end of the year in which the business combination occurred, the Group reports provisional amounts. 4.4.6 Changes in ownership interests The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognized in “Other reserves” within equity attributable to owners of the Company. When the Group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. 4.5 Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Executive committee. The Executive Committee, is the highest decision-making authority, is the person responsible for allocating resources and setting the performance of the entity’s operating segments, and has been identified as the person/ body executing the Company’s strategic decisions. In segmentation the Company considers transactions with third parties and intercompany operations, which are done on internal transfer pricing based on market prices for each product. 4.6 Property, plant and equipment Property, Plant and Equipment is measured following the cost model. It is recognized at acquisition cost less depreciation a less any accumulated impairment. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. The cost of work in progress whose construction will extend over time includes, if applicable, the computation of financial costs accrued on loans granted by third parties and other pre-production costs, net of any income obtained from the sale of commercially valuable production during the launching period. Works in progress are valued according to their degree of progress. Works in progress are recorded at cost less any loss due to impairment, if applicable. Assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each year. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset´s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the sale price with the carrying amount, stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the disposal date. 4.6.1 Depreciation methods and useful lives The group depreciates productive wells, machinery and camps in the oil and gas production areas according to the units of production method, by applying the ratio of oil and gas produced to estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves. The acquisition cost of property with proved reserves is depreciated by applying the ratio of oil and gas produced to estimated proved oil and gas reserves. Acquisition costs related to properties with unproved reserves is valued at cost with recoverability periodically assessed on the basis of geological and engineering estimates of possible and probable reserves that are expected to be proved over the life of each concession. Machinery and generation equipment (including any significant identifiable component) are depreciated under the unit of production method. The group´s remaining items of property, plant and equipment (including any significant identifiable component) are depreciated by the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives, as detailed below: Buildings: 50 years Vehicles: 5 years Furniture, fittings and communication equipment: 5- 20 years Computer equipment and software: 3 years Tools: 10 years Gas Plant and Pipeline: 20 years If appropriate, the depreciation method is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each year. 4.6.2 Asset retirement obligations Estimated future costs of asset retirement obligations on well abandonment in oil and gas areas and wind turbines decommissioning in wind farms, discounted at a risk adjusted rate, are capitalized in the cost of the assets and depreciated using the units of production method. Additionally, a liability at the estimated value of the discounted amounts payable is recognized. Changes in the measurement of asset retirement obligations that result from changes in the estimated timing, amount of the outflow of resources required to settle the obligation, or the discount rate, are added to, or deducted from, the cost of the related asset. If a decrease in the liability exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss. 4.7 Intangible assets 4.7.1 Goodwill Goodwill is the result of the acquisition of subsidiaries. Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the equity interest in the acquired entity held by the company on the net identifiable assets acquired at the date of acquisition. For impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated from the acquisition date to each of the acquirer’s CGU or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units that goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. 4.7.2 Concession arrangements Concession arrangements corresponding to Edenor and hydroelectric generation plants Diamante and Nihuiles are not under the scope of the guidelines of IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Arrangements”. These concession agreements meet the criteria set forth by the IFRSs for capitalization less depreciation a less any accumulated impairment. They are amortized following the straight-line method based on each asset’s useful life, which corresponds to the life of each concession agreement. 4.7.3 Identified intangible assets in acquired investments Corresponds to intangible assets identified at the moment of the acquisition of companies. Identified assets meet the criteria established in IFRS for capitalization less depreciation a less any accumulated impairment. They are amortized by the straight-line method according to the useful life of each asset, considering the estimated way in which the benefits produced by the asset will be consumed. 4.8 Assets for oil and gas exploration The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas exploration and production activities. This method involves the capitalization of: (i) the cost of acquiring properties in oil and gas exploration and production areas; (ii) the cost of drilling and equipping exploratory wells that result in the discovery of commercially recoverable reserves; (iii) the cost of drilling and equipping development wells, and (iv) the estimated asset retirement obligations (see Note 4.6.2). According to the successful efforts method of accounting, exploration costs (including geological and geophysical costs), excluding exploratory well costs, are expensed during the period in which they are incurred. Drilling costs of exploratory wells are capitalized until it is determined that proved reserves exists and they justify the commercial development. If reserves are not found, such drilling costs are expensed. Occasionally, an exploratory well may determine the existence of oil and gas reserves but they cannot be classified as proved when drilling is complete. In those cases, such costs continue to be capitalized insofar as the well has allowed determining the existence of sufficient reserves to warrant its completion as a production well and the Company is making sufficient progress in evaluating the economic and operating feasibility of the project. 4.9 Impairment of non-financial long-lived assets Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life and goodwill are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. The remaining non-financial long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (CGU). Non-financial long-lived assets, other than goodwill, that have been impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. 4.10 Financial assets 4.10.1 Classification The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: (i) those that are subsequently measured at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss), and (ii) those that are subsequently measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics. Gains and losses from financial assets measured at fair value, will be recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income or in Statement of Other Comprehensive Income. Investments in equity instruments are measured at fair value. For those investments that are not held for trading, the Company may make an irrevocable election at initial recognition to present subsequent changes in other comprehensive income. The Company's election was to recognize changes in fair value through profit and loss. The company reclassifies financial assets when and only when it changes its business model for managing those financial assets. 4.10.2 Recognition The conventional purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, that is, the date on which the Company undertakes to purchase or sell the asset, or at settlement date. Financial assets are derecognized when contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets have expired or been transferred, and the Company has substantially transferred all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. 4.10.3 Measurement At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss and disclosed in “Changes in the fair value of financial instruments” within “Other financial Results. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognised or impaired and through the amortization process using the effective interest rate method. The Group subsequently measures equity investments at fair value. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as long as they represent a return on investment. 4.10.4 Impairment of financial assets The Company assesses the expected credit losses related to its financial instruments at amortized cost and financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, if applicable. The Company applies the simplified approach allowed by IFRS 9 to measure expected credit losses for trade receivables and other receivables with similar risk characteristics. For this purpose, receivables are grouped by business segment and based on shared credit risk characteristics and expected credit losses are determined based on rates calculated for different ranges of default days from the due date. The expected loss rates are based on the sales collection profiles over a period of 24 months before the end of each year, considering historical credit losses experienced within this period that are adjusted, if applicable, to reflect forward-looking information that could affect the ability of customers to settle the receivables. 4.10.5 Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount reported in the consolidated statements of financial position, when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 4.11 Trade and other receivables Trade receivables and other receivables are recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment, if applicable. The Company recognises provisions for impairment on trade and other receivables based on expected credit loss model described in Note 4.10.4. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company considers the following default indicators: i) voluntary reorganization proceedings, bankruptcy or initiation of judicial demands; ii) insolvency implying a high impossibility of collection and iii) past due balances greater than 90 days. Where applicable, allowances for doubtful tax credits have been recognized based on estimates on their uncollectibility within their statutory limitation period, taking into consideration the Company’s current business plans. 4.12 Derivative financial instruments and hedging account Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, determined as the amount of cash to be collected or paid to settle the instrument as of the measurement date, net of any prepayment collected or paid. Fair value of derivative financial instruments traded in active markets is disclosed based on their quoted market prices and fair value of instruments that are not traded in active markets is determined using different valuation techniques. Subsequent accounting of changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Company may designate derivative financial instruments in the following categories: (i) fair value hedge of recognized assets or liabilities or over firm commitment (fair value hedge); (ii) cash flow hedges of a particular risk associated with recognized assets and liabilities and highly probable future transactions (cash flow hedges), or (iii) net investment hedge in foreign operation (net investment hedges). At the beginning of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the economic relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, even if it is expected that changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments offset changes in the cash flows of the hedged items. The Group documents its objective and risk management strategy to carry out its hedging operations. Changes in the measurement of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedge, which have been determined as effective, are recognized in equity. The gain or loss related to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Changes in the measurement of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in profit or loss. The Company has not formally designated financial instruments as hedging instruments. 4.13 Inventories This line item includes crude oil stock, raw materials, work in progress and finished products relating to Petrochemicals and Oil and Gas business segments as well as materials and spare parts relating to the Generation business segment. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average price method. The cost of inventories includes expenditure incurred in purchases and production and other necessary costs to bring them to their existing location and condition. In case of manufactured products and production in process, the cost includes a portion of indirect production costs, excluding any idle capacity (slack). The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs to make the sale. The assessment of the recoverable value of these assets is made at each reporting date, and the resulting loss is recognized in the statement of income when the inventories are overstated. The Company has classified materials and spare parts into current and non-current, depending on the timing in which they are expected to be used for replacement or improvement on existing assets. The portion of materials and spare parts for maintenance or improvements on existing assets, is exposed under the heading “Property, plant and equipment”. 4.14 Non-current assets (or disposal group) held for sale and discontinued operations Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights from insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset until fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. The gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset is recognised at the date of derecognition. Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortized while they be classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale |

GROUP STRUCTURE | NOTE 5 5.1 Corporate reorganizations The following corporate reorganizations are part of the strategy the Company has been developing since 2017 to attain a simpler and more agile, innovative and flexible organization, allowing it to derive important benefits, a higher operating efficiency, an optimized use of available resources, the streamlining of technical, administrative and financial structures, and the implementation of converging policies, strategies and goals. They also allow the Company to leverage the complementarity among the participating companies, thus reducing costs resulting from the duplication and overlapping of operating and administrative structures. The following reorganizations were perfected by means of a merger through absorption process, under the terms of tax neutrality pursuant to articles 80 and following of the Income Tax Law, In 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the process for the merger through absorption between the Company, as absorbing company, and PEFM, as absorbed company, establishing July 1, 2019 as the actual merger date, as from which all PEFM’s rights and obligations, assets and liabilities were incorporated into the Company’s equity. There was no exchange ratio as the Company directly and indirectly held 100% of PEFM’s capital stock. On October 15, 2019 and February 19, 2020, the respective Shareholders’ Meetings approved the merger process, and the CNV granted its administrative consent, respectively. In 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the following mergers through absorption between the Company, as absorbing company, and the following companies, as absorbed companies: (i) CPB; actual merger date: January 1, 2020. (ii) PACOGEN and PHA, establishing April 1, 2020 as the actual merger date, as from which the Company became simultaneously the beneficiary, remainder beneficiary and trustee under the CIESA Trust. On March 24, 2020, the Trustee transferred to PHA all common shares in book-entry form with a face value of $ 1 each and each granting the right to one vote issued by CIESA and held by the CIESA Trust, which represented 40% of CIESA’s capital stock and voting rights. Until all expenses and taxes associated with the transfer of the Trust Estate have been canceled, the CIESA Trust will remain in effect, with the Trustee maintaining such capacity, and the Company will assume all payment obligations for the applicable taxes and expenses resulting from the transfer of the Trust Estate. (iii) PP, Transelec, Pampa FPK, Pampa Holding, Pampa Ventures and Pampa QRP; actual merger date: October 1, 2020. As from the actual merger date, all the rights and obligations, assets and liabilities of the absorbed companies were incorporated into the Company’s equity, without any exchange ratios, as the Company directly and indirectly held 100% of the absorbed companies’ capital stock, with the exception of Pampa Holding, Pampa QRP, Pampa FPK and Pampa Ventures, where the valuation of the underlying asset was taken into consideration to establish the exchange ratio for each company. These mergers were approved by the respective Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings, and their registration with the Public Registry is still pending as this proceeding was affected by the impediments inherent in functioning of enforcement agencies during the COVID-19 pandemic. 5.2 Sale of participations and property, plant and equipment 5.2.1 Sale of interest in Oldelval On November 2, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with ExxonMobil Exploration Argentina S.R.L. for the sale of 21% of Oldelval’s capital stock and rights, maintaining the remaining 2.1% interest. Subsequently, on November 27, 2018, the transaction was closed upon the meeting of the applicable precedent conditions, the purchase price paid by the purchaser amounted to US$ 36.4 million. As a result of the transaction, the Company has recognized a US$ 28 million gain, before taxes. 5.2.2 Sale of the Dock Sud storage terminal On March 6, 2019, the Company agreed with Raízen Argentina, a licensee of the Shell brand, on the sale, subject to the meeting of certain conditions precedent which are customary for this kind of transactions, of the Dock Sud storage terminal, which tank yard has a total installed capacity of 228 thousand m3. On March 30, 2019, after the meeting of all precedent conditions, the transfer of the Dock Sud Terminal to the purchaser was completed at a price of US$ 19.5 million, plus US$ 2 million on account of products. The transaction resulted in profits before income tax in the amount of US$ 1 million, which are disclosed in item “Gains/losses on the sale of Property, plant and equipment” under “Other operating income”. 5.3 Assets held for sale, associated liabilities and discontinued operations As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the results for operations associated with the below-detailed sales transactions have been disclosed under “Discontinued operations” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. 5.3.1 Divestment of stake in Edenor On December 28, 2020, the Company entered into with Empresa de Energía del Cono Sur S.A. and Integra Capital S.A., Daniel Eduardo Vila, Mauricio Filiberti and José Luis Manzano (the “Purchaser”) a share purchase agreement whereby it agreed to sell its controlling interest in Edenor through the transfer of all Class A shares representing 51% of the capital stock and voting rights of said company (the “Transaction”). The closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) is subject to the fulfillment of certain precedent conditions. On February 17, 2021, Pampa’s shareholders meeting was held and the Transaction was approved, remaining outstanding, as of the date of issue of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the approval by the ENRE still being pending. The sale of the stake in Edenor is part of the Company’s strategic plan aiming to focus investments on its core businesses: continuing expanding the installed capacity for the generation of electricity and the development of unconventional natural gas reserves, specifically, the investments necessary to reach the committed production under the Gas.Ar Plan (see Note 2.3.2.1.2) and the closing to Combined Cycle at CTB (see Note 16.1.3). The agreed sales price consists of: (i) 21,876,856 Class B shares of Edenor representing 2.41% of the capital stock and voting rights of Edenor (the “Price in Kind”); (ii) US$ 95 million (the “Price in Cash”); and (iii) a contingent payment of 50% of the earnings resulting from a change in control of the Purchaser or Edenor (the “Contingent Payment”), in case this situation takes place within the first year after the Closing, or the term during which the Price Balance (as defined in the following paragraph) is pending settlement, whichever is later.

In this sense, TGS has assessed the impairment indicators under IAS 36 and has performed recoverable amount tests on the assets included in Property, plant and equipment. As of December 31, 2020, the assessment of recoverability of the CGU of the Natural Gas Transportation business resulted in the recognition of impairment losses for $ 3,114 million (before taxes). 5.4.3.2 Issuance of Corporate Bonds TGS General Shareholders' Meeting held on August 15, 2019 approved the extension of TGS´s Corporate Bonds Program from US$ 700 million to US$ 1.2 billion.

Funds obtained by TGS are applied to: (i) the repurchase of its Class 1 corporate bonds for US$ 87 million; (ii) the cancellation and total redemption of Class 1 CBs for US$ 121 million; and (iii) use the balance of net funds to make investments in capital expenditures in process of execution. 5.4.3.3 Acquisition of own shares in TGS During fiscal year 2019, TGS’s Board of Directors approved three share buyback programs on March 27, August 26 and November 19, which were executed in accordance with the conditions stipulated in each of them. On defining these programs, the Board of Directors took into consideration TGS’s strong cash position and approved them in view of the distortion existing between TGS’s economic value, measured by its current businesses and derived from ongoing projects, and its stock market listing price. Own shares acquired by TGS as of October 31, 2019 were destined to the payment of a stock dividend. On March 6, 2020, TGS’s Board of Directors approved the sixth Share Buyback Program for a maximum investment amount of $ 2,500 million (values effective as of its creation date). Later on, on August 21, 2020, TGS’s Board of Directors approved a new Share Buyback Program for a maximum investment amount of $ 3,000 million (values effective as of its creation date), which will be effective until March 22, 2021. 5.4.3.4 Acquisition of TGS’s ADRs by the Company During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company acquired a total number of 635.380 ADRs and 1,130,365 TGS’s ADRs, at an acquisition cost of US$ 3 million and US$ 8 million, respectively. 5.4.4 Investment in CITELEC 5.4.4.1 Employee Shareholding Program – Transba S.A. In the year 1997, the Executive Branch of the Province of Buenos Aires awarded 100% of Transba’s Series “A”, “B” and “C” shares to Transener. Series “C” shares were awarded subject to the obligation to transfer them to the Employee Shareholding Program benefiting certain Transba employees, Transener holding 89.99% of Transba’s capital stock. On June 28, 2019, Transener acquired all the shares under such program. Consequently, Transener holds 99.99% of Transba’s capital stock. 5.4.4.2 Repurchase of own Corporate Bonds - Transener As of December 31, 2020 Transener’s Corporate Bonds Class 2 amounted to US$ 98.5 million, of which US$ 7 million have been acquired and by Transba.

The acquisition of CTEB also involves the assignment in favor of the awardee of the contractual capacity as trustor under the Enarsa-Barragán Financial Trust, the VRDs of which (excluding the VRDs to be acquired by the awardee) amount to US$ 229 million. CTEB, which is located at the petrochemical complex of the town of Ensenada, Province of Buenos Aires, consists of two open-cycle gas turbines, and has a 567 MW installed capacity. The awardee will have to obtain the commissioning of the closing of the combined cycle within a term of 30 months as from the Seventh Amendment to the Trust Agreement’s effective date, thus increasing the installed power capacity to 847 MW, with an estimated investment of US$ 200 million. Both the open and the closed cycle have effective power purchase agreements with CAMMESA under Resolution No. 220/07 issued by the former SE: the first one, entered into on March 26, 2009 and terminating on April 27, 2022, as amended and modified from time to time, and the second one dated March 26, 2013 for a term of 10 years as from the commercial operation of the combined cycle. On June 26, 2019, the acquisition by CTB, a company co-controlled by YPF and Pampa, through subsidiaries, of CTEB transferred by IEASA was completed. The acquisition’s relative price was US$ 282 million, an amount which includes the final (cash) amount offered in the Tender and the acquired VRDs’ purchase price, paid with a contribution of US$ 200 million received by CTB, settled in equal parts by its co-controlling companies, and with a loan received by CTB from a bank syndicate of US$ 170 million. The Power Plant will be managed and operated by Pampa and YPF on a rotational basis over 4-year periods. Pampa will be responsible for managing CTEB’s operations until 2023. And YPF, through its subsidiary YPF Energía Eléctrica S.A., will supervise the necessary works for the closing of the combined cycle. The following table details the consideration transferred and the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by CTB as of June 26, 2019: in million US$ Total consideration transferred (1) (272) Financial assets at fair value 16 Property, plant and equipment 477 Inventories 8 VRDs (229) Fair value of net assets 272 (1) Includes US$ 53 million for the purchase of the acquired VRDs and considers a US$ 10 million of a price adjustment in favor of CTB. The fair value of property, plant and equipment items and inventories was calculated considering mainly the depreciated replacement cost of the acquired goods. For this purpose, CTB was assisted by an independent specialist engaged by management. The replacement cost approach was applied to measure buildings, equipment, installations and works in progress. The methodology applied to determine their fair value entailed: (i) the calculation of replacement costs (mainly based on consultations with suppliers and the analysis of specialized publications and information), (ii) an estimate of residual values at the end of their useful life (based on the interest generated by the asset at the end of its useful life and the owner’s disposal policy), and (iii) the application of deductions for physical, functional and/or economic impairment, if applicable. The methodology for the determination of the remaining useful life was focused on the analysis of aging, wear and loss of service capacity of the assets resulting from normal use in the activities where they operate. Regarding the work in progress for the closing of the combined cycle, which will allow a 280 MW rated power capacity increase, an estimate of the work progress’ percentage and the depreciation of the installed equipment was made based on physical inspections and the information supplied by the contracts to complete civil and electromechanical works for the closing of the combined cycle. Lastly, a comparative sales approach was used to measure lands and vehicles. For this purpose relevant market data was gathered, mainly sales prices of lands in surrounding areas and published sales prices for vehicles. Additionally, CTB has calculated the weighted present value of future cash flows it expects to receive from the assets to confirm that its fair value does not exceed their recoverable value. As a result of the described process, CTB has not recorded intangible assets associated with the business acquisition. 5.4.5.2 Financial Trust Agreement As a result of the award of CTEB’s goodwill, certain amendments were made to the Enarsa-Barragán Financial Trust Agreement entered into between BICE Fideicomisos S.A. (Nación Fideicomisos S.A.’ continuing company), acting as Trustee, and CTB, in its capacity as Trustor substituting IEASA (former ENARSA) (the “Trust Agreement” or the “Trust”). Under the Trust, on April 25, 2011 publicly traded Series B VRDs for a face value of US$ 582,920,167 were issued. The Trust’s underlying flow is made up of the collection rights resulting from the Power Supply Agreements originally entered into between ENARSA (currently IEASA) and CAMMESA. On June 26, 2019, date on which the sale of CTEB’s goodwill was perfected, the following operations and contractual amendments were executed: - IEASA and BICE Fideicomisos S.A. entered into the fifth amendment to the Trust Agreement, which mainly included the following modifications: (i) the flow assignment to the Trust is reduced up to an amount equivalent to debt services plus the Trust expenses monthly disclosed by the Trustee to CAMMESA (previously, 90% of the monthly fixed charge for hired power capacity, for 23,255 US$/MW-month plus VAT, was assigned); (ii) a total or partial early redemption option in favor of the Trustor, at the debt’s residual value; (iii) the surety timely issued by the National Treasury is canceled; and (iv) the endorsement of the insurance against all operating risks in CTEB regarding the loss of benefits in favor of the Trust is required, among others. - IEASA assigned its contractual position to CTB through the execution of a Contractual Position Assignment Agreement and, as a result, BICE Fideicomisos S.A. and CTB executed the sixth amendment to the Trust Agreement whereby CTB was incorporated as a Trustor under the Trust Agreement. - CTB and IEASA entered into a VRD transfer agreement whereby CTB acquired the outstanding Series B VRDs for a price of US$ 53.5 million (equivalent to 109,628,836 VRDs with a face value of US$ 1 each), thus becoming the holder of such VRDs (the “Trustor’s VRDs”). On August 22, 2019, CTB and BICE Fideicomisos S.A., entered into the seventh amendment to the Trust Agreement, which incorporated, among others, the following amendments: (i) as regards the VRDs: i) the granting of a 24-month grace period (during which only interest will be payable); ii) the modification of the interest rate by the Libor rate plus 6.5%; iii) the determination of principal amortization installments over a 60-month repayment period (to provide constant debt services); (ii) the assignment to the Trust of the Steam Turbine Supply Agreement, integrating Collection Rights and the Trust Estate; (iii) the obligation to complete CTEB’s closing to combined cycle to be commissioned within a term of 30 months as from the entry into effect of the seventh amendment, establishing that the breach of this obligation will be a ground for the acceleration of the VRDs; (iv) the incorporation of additional collection rights for both the open and the closed-cycle Supply Agreements; (v) the assignment to the Financial Trust of the collection rights net of VAT for a certain percentage to cover debt services and other items provided for in Section 8.3.1. of the Trust Agreement, stipulating that any remaining balance on each Service Payment Date (pursuant to the definition of this term in the Trust Agreement) will be transferred to the Trustor; (vi) establishing the simultaneous collection for collection rights assigned to the Trust and for amounts unassigned under the Supply Agreements (pursuant to the definit |

RISKS | NOTE 6 6.1 Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements requires the Company’s Management to make future estimates and assessments, to apply critical judgment and to establish assumptions affecting the application of accounting policies and the amounts of disclosed assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The applied estimates and accounting judgments are evaluated on a continuous basis and are based on past experiences and other reasonable factors under the existing circumstances. Actual future results might differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements. The estimates which have a significant risk of producing adjustments on the amounts of the assets and liabilities during the following year are detailed below: 6.1.1 Impairment of non-financial long-lived assets Non-financial long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets and right-of-use assets, are reviewed for impairment at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGU). For this purpose, each assets group with independent cash flows, each subsidiary, associate and each jointly controlled company has been considered a single CGU, as all of their assets jointly contribute to the generation of cash inflows, which are derived from a single service or product; thus cash inflows cannot be attributed to individual assets. In order to evaluate if there is evidence that a CGU could be affected, both external and internal sources of information are analyzed. Specific facts and circumstances are considered, which generally include the discount rate used in the estimates of the future cash flows of each CGU and the business condition as regards economic and market factors, such as the cost of raw materials, oil and gas, international petrochemical product’s price, the regulatory framework for the energy industry, the projected capital investments and the evolution of the energy demand. The value in use of each CGU is estimated on the basis of the present value of future net cash flows expected to be derived on the UGE. Management uses approved budgets up to one year as the base for cash flow projections that are later extrapolated into a term consistent with the assets’ remaining useful life, taking into consideration the appropriate discount rates. The discount rates used to discount future net cash flows is the WACC, for each asset or CGU a specific WACC was determined which considered the business segment and the country conditions where the operations are performed. In order to calculate the fair value less the costs of disposal, the Company Management uses the estimated value of the future cash flows that a market participant could generate from the appropriate CGU, less the necessary costs to carry out the sale of the corresponding CGU. The Company Management is required to make judgments at the moment of the future cash flow estimation. The actual cash flows and the values may differ significantly from the expected future cash flows and the related values obtained through discount techniques. 6.1.2 Current and deferred Income tax The Company’s Management periodically evaluates tax treatments affecting the determination of taxable profit regarding uncertain tax treatment under tax law considering the acceptability of a particular tax treatment by the relevant taxation authority, and, if applicable, recognizes tax provisions to reflect the effect of the uncertainty for each tax treatment based on the amount estimated to be paid to the tax authorities. If the final tax resolution regarding uncertain tax treatments differs from recognized figures, such differences will have an effect on income tax and deferred income tax at the year of such determination. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced in accordance with the probability that the sufficient taxable base will be available to allow for the total or partial recovery of these assets. In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, Management considers if it is likely that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which these temporary differences become deductible. To make this assessment, Management takes into consideration the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the projections of future taxable income and tax planning strategies. The generation of future taxable profits may differ from those estimated affecting the deductibility of deferred tax assets. 6.1.3 Provision for contingencies The Company is subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings that arise during the ordinary course of its business. The Company’s liabilities with respect to such claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty. Periodically, the Company reviews the status of each contingency and assesses potential financial liability, applying the criteria indicated in Note 4.22, for which elaborates the estimates mainly with the assistance of legal advisors, based on information available to the Management at Consolidated Financial Statements date, and taking into account our litigation and resolution/settlement strategies. Contingencies include outstanding lawsuits or claims for possible damages to third parties in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, as well as third party claims arising from disputes concerning the interpretation of legislation. The Company evaluates whether there would be additional expenses directly associated with the ultimate resolution of each contingency, which will be included in the provision if they may be reasonably estimated. The final resolutions of the litigation could differ from Management's estimates, generating current provisions to be inadequate, which could have a material adverse effect on the statement of financial position, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows. 6.1.4 Asset retirement obligations Asset retirement obligations in oil and gas areas after completion of operations require the Company’s Management to estimate the number of wells, long-term well abandonment costs and the time remaining until abandonment. In the same way, the obligations related to the decommissioning of wind turbines in wind farms require the Company’s Management to estimate long-term dismantling costs and the time remaining until the dismantling. Technology, costs and political, environmental and safety considerations constantly change and may result in differences between actual future costs and estimates. Asset retirement obligations’ estimates are adjusted at least once a year or more frequently if there are changes in the assumptions considered in the assessment. 6.1.5 Impairment of financial assets The Group is exposed to losses for uncollectible receivables. The Company Management estimates the final collectability of the accounts receivable. The accounting of expected credit losses for trade receivables and other receivables with similar risk characteristics is based on the Company's best estimate of the default risk and the calculation of the expected credit losses rates, based on historical information of the behavior of the Company's clients, current market conditions and forward-looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. In order to estimate collections related to the sale of gas and energy (in the spot market), the Company mainly considers CAMMESA’s capacity to meet its payment obligations to generators and the resolutions issued by the SE, which allow the Company to collect its receivables from CAMMESA through different mechanisms. Future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if future economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in the assessment for each year. 6.1.6 Actuarial assumptions in defined benefit plans Commitments with defined benefit plans to employees are recognized as liabilities in the statement of financial position based on actuarial estimates revised annually by an independent actuary, using the projected unit credit method. The present value of defined benefit pension plan depends on multiple factors that are determined according to actuarial estimates, net of the fair value of the plan assets, when applicable. For this purpose, certain assumptions are used including the discount rate and wage growth rate assumptions. It may be necessary to make adjustments in the future if future economic conditions materially differ from the assumptions used in the valuation of each year. 6.1.7 Oil and gas reserves Reserves include oil and gas volumes (in m3 of oil equivalent) that are economically producible, in the areas where the Company operates or has a (direct or indirect) interest and over which the Company has exploitation rights, including oil and gas volumes related to those service agreements under which the Company has no ownership rights on the reserves or the hydrocarbons obtained and those estimated to be produced for the contracting company under service contracts. There are numerous uncertainties in estimating proved reserves and future production profiles, development costs and prices, including several factors beyond the producer’s control. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations involving a certain degree of uncertainty. Reserves estimates depend on the quality of the available engineering and geological data as of the estimation date and on the interpretation and judgment thereof. Periodic revisions and adjustments to the estimated oil and gas reserves and related future net cash flows may be necessary as a result of changes in a number of factors, including reservoir performance, new drilling, oil and gas prices, cost, technological advances, new geological or geophysical data, and other economic factors or at least once a year. The Company’s estimates of oil and gas reserves have been developed by the Company’s internal specialists, specifically petroleum engineers, and audited by independent specialists engaged by Company. The Company uses the information obtained from the calculation of reserves in the determination of depreciation of properties, plant and equipment used in oil and gas areas, as well as assessing the recoverability of these assets and including, when applicable, goodwill allocated to oil and gas segment (see Notes 4.6 to 4.9). 6.1.8 Environmental remediation The costs incurred to limit, neutralize or prevent environmental pollution are only capitalized if at least one of the following conditions is met: (a) such costs relate to improvements in safety; (b) the risk of environmental pollution is prevented or limited; or (c) the costs are incurred to prepare the assets for sale and the book value (which considers those costs) of such assets does not exceed their respective recoverable value. Liabilities related to future remediation costs are recorded when, on the basis of environmental assessments, such liabilities are probable to materialize, and costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual recognition and amount of these provisions are generally based on the Company’s commitment to an action plan, such as an approved remediation plan or the sale or disposal of an asset. The provision is recognized on the basis that a future remediation commitment will be required. The Company measures liabilities based on its best estimation of present value of future costs, using currently available technology and applying current environmental laws and regulations as well as the Company’s own internal environmental policies. 6.1.9 Business Combinations The acquisition method involves the measurement at fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the business combination at the acquisition date. For the purpose to determine the fair value of identifiable assets, the Company uses the valuation approach considered the most representative for each asset. These include: i) the income approach, through indirect cash flows (net present value of expected future cash flows) or through the multi-period excess earnings method, ii) the cost approach (replacement value of the good adjusted for loss due to physical deterioration, functional and economic obsolescence) and iii) the market approach through comparable transactions method. Likewise, in order to determine the fair value of liabilities assumed, the Company’s Management considers the probability of cash outflows that will be required for each contingency, and elaborates the estimates with assistance of legal advisors, based on the information available and taking into account the strategy of litigation and resolution / liquidation. Management critical judgment is required in selecting the approach to be used and estimating future cash flows. Actual cash flows and values may differ significantly from the expected future cash flows and related values obtained through the mentioned valuation techniques. 6.2 Financial risk management 6.2.1 Financial Risk Factors The Company’s activities are subject to several financial risks: market risk (including the exchange rate risk, the interest rate risk and the price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Financial risk management is encompassed within the Company’s global policies, there is an integrated risk management methodology, where the focus is not placed on the individual risks of the business units’ operations, but there is rather a wider perspective focused on monitoring risks affecting the whole portfolio. The Company’s risk management strategy seeks to achieve a balance between profitability targets and risk exposure levels. Financial risks are those derived from financial instruments the Company is exposed to during or at the closing of each fiscal year. The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge certain risks when it deems it necessary according to its risk management internal policies. Financial risk management is controlled by the Financial Department, which identifies, evaluates and covers financial risks. Risk management systems and policies are reviewed on a regular basis to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities, and have been applied consistently during the periods comprised in these Consolidated Financial Statements. This section includes a description of the main risks and uncertainties which may adversely affect the Company’s strategy, performance, operational results and financial position. 6.2.1.1 Market risks 6.2.1.1.1 Foreign exchange risk The Company’s results of operations and financial position are exposed to changes in the exchange rate between the Company’s functional currency, which is the U.S. dollar and other currencies, primarily with respect to the Argentine peso (which is the legal currency in Argentina). In some cases, the Company may use derivative financial instruments to mitigate the associated exchange rate risk. In fiscal year 2020, the U.S. dollar recorded an approximate 40.5% increase against the Argentine peso, from $59.89 in December 2019 to $84.15 in December 2020, and taking into consideration that during the year the Company mostly had a net passive position in Argentine pesos, as of December 31, 2020 the Company recorded net foreign exchange gain in the amount of US$ 11 million. Taking into account the net active financial position in Argentine pesos as of December 31, 2020, excluding the assets and liabilities available for sale, the Company estimates that provided all other variables remain constant, a 10% revaluation/(devaluation) of U.S. dollar as compared to the Argentine peso would generate in absolute values a (decrease)/increase of US$ 7 million in the 2020 fiscal year’s income/(loss), before income tax. The Group´s exposure to other foreign currency movements is not material. 6.2.1.1.2 Price risk The Company’s financial instruments are not significantly exposed to hydrocarbon international price risks on account of the current regulatory, economic, governmental and other policies in force, oil and gas domestic prices are not directly affected in the short-term due to variations in the international market. Additionally, the Company’s investments in financial assets classified as “at fair value through profit or loss” are sensitive to the risk of changes in the market prices resulting from uncertainties as to the future value of such financial assets. The Company estimates that provided all other variables remain constant, a 10% revaluation/(devaluation) of each market price would generate the following increase/(decrease) in the 2019 fiscal year’s income/(loss), before income tax in relation to financial assets at fair value through profit and loss detailed in Note 12.2 to these Consolidated Financial Statements: Increase of the result for the year Financial assets 12.31.2020 12.31.2019 Shares 4 2 Government securities 21 11 Investment funds 9 24 Variation of the result of the year 34 37 6.2.1.1.3 Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk The management of the interest rate risk seeks to reduce financial costs and limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate increases. Indebtedness at variable rates exposes the Company to the interest rate risk on its cash flows due to the possible volatility they may experience. Indebtedness at fixed rates exposes the Company to the interest rate risk on the fair value of its liabilities, since they may be considerably higher than variable rates. As of December 31, 2020, only approximately 10% of the indebtedness was subject to variable interest rates. Likewise, most of the Company’s indebtedness subject to variable interest rates is denominated in U.S. dollar, based on Libor rate plus an applicable margin and a small portion is denominated in pesos accruing interest based on the private Badlar rate. As of December 31, 2020, just 13.6% of the indebtedness was subject to variable interest rates. Furthermore, regarding the Company’s debt accruing variable interest rates, 61.8% is denominated in pesos, mainly at Private Badlar rate, and the remaining 38.2% is denominated in U.S. dollars, mainly at Libor rate plus an applicable spread. The Company seeks to mitigate its interest-rate risk exposure through the analysis and evaluation of: (i) the different liquidity sources available in the financial and capital market, both domestic and (if available) international; (ii) interest rates alternatives (fixed or variable), currencies and terms available for companies in a similar sector, industry and risk than the Company; (iii) the availability, access and cost of interest-rate hedge agreements. On doing this, the Company evaluates the impact on profits or losses resulting from each strategy over the obligations representing the main interest-bearing positions. In the case of fixed rates and in view of the market’s current conditions, the Company considers that the risk of a significant decrease in interest rates is low and, therefore, does not foresee a substantial risk in its indebtedness at fixed rates. As of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is not exposed to a significant risk of variable interest rate increases since most of the financial debt is subject to fixed rate. The following chart shows the breakdown of the Company’s borrowings classified by interest rate and the currency in which they are denominated: 12.31.2020 12.31.2019 Fixed interest rate: Argentinian pesos 53 143 U.S dollar 1,318 1,687 Subtotal loans granted at a fixed interest rate 1,371 1,830 Floating interest rates: Argentinian pesos 133 10 U.S dollar 82 64 Subtotal loans granted at a floating interest rate 215 74 Non interest accrued Argentinian pesos 8 17 U.S dollar 20 26 Subtotal no interest accrued 28 43 Total borrowings 1,614 1,947 Based on the conducted simulations, and provided all other variables remain constant, a 10% increase/decrease in variable interest rates would generate the following (decrease)/increase in the 2020 fiscal year's year’s income/(loss), before income tax, of US$ 5 million. 6.2.1.2 Credit risk The Company establishes individual credit limits according to the limits defined by the Board of Directors and approved by the Financial Department based on internal or external ratings. The Company makes constant credit assessments on its customers’ financial capacity, which minimizes the potential risk for bad debt losses. The credit risk represents the exposure to possible losses resulting from the breach by commercial or financial counterparties of their obligations taken on with the Company. This risk stems mainly from economic and financial factors or a possible counterparty default. The credit risk is associated with the Company’s commercial activity through customer trade receivables, as well as available funds and deposits in banking and financial institutions. The Company, in its ordinary course of business and in accordance with its credit policies, grants credits to a large customer base, mainly large sectors of the industry, including petrochemical companies, natural gas distributors and electricity large users. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s trade receivables totaled US$ 246 million, of which 99.98% are short-term and the remaining 0.02% is classified as non-current. With the exception of CAMMESA, which represents approximately 72% of such trade receivables, the Company does not have a significant credit risk concentration, as this exposure is distributed among a large number of customers and other counterparties. The impossibility by CAMMESA to pay these receivables may have a substantially adverse effect on cash income and, consequently, on the result of operations and financial situation which, in turn, may adversely affect the Company’s repayment capacity. The credit risk of liquid funds and other financial investments is limited since the counterparties are high credit quality banking institutions. If there are no independent risk ratings, the risk control area evaluates the customer’s creditworthiness, based on past experiences and other factors. The Company applies the simplified approach of IFRS 9 to measure the expected credit losses trade receivables and other receivables in accordance with the policy described in Note 4.10.4. The expected credit loss on trade receivables and financial assets as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 amounts to US$ 12 million, US$ 1 million and US$ 13 million, respectively and was determined based on credit loss rates calculated for days past due detailed below: 12.31.2020 Undue 30 days 60 days 90 days 120 days 150 days 180 days + 180 days Generation 0.35% 1.11% 5.74% 9.78% 11.23% 19.77% 20.87% 22.71% Oil and Gas 0.49% 0.72% 5.96% 16.21% 16.23% 17.74% 17.76% 17.79% Petrochemicals 0.02% 0.06% 0.72% 2.26% 9.95% 23.84% 19.14% 36.92% Holding 12.58% 0.94% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 12.31.2019 Undue 30 days 60 days 90 days 120 days 150 days 180 days + 180 days Generation 0.10% 0.35% 1.99% 2.95% 4.03% 5.59% 9.79% 16.13% Oil and Gas 0.53% 1.49% 9.45% 18.03% 18.50% 18.81% 18.90% 18.92% Distribution of energy 3.00% 3.00% 8.00% 18.00% 20.00% 45.00% 72.00% 72.00% Petrochemicals 0.39% 0.73% 6.88% 16.66% 25.32% 29.59% 30.97% 43.05% Holding 1.85% 2.81% 6.84% 17.15% 26.77% 43.21% 49.89% 65.29% 12.31.2018 Undue 30 days 60 days 90 days 120 days 150 days 180 days + 180 days Generation 0.04% 0.09% 2.62% 3.39% 9.37% 13.56% 19.82% 28.88% Oil and Gas 2.20% 4.42% 11.11% 20.42% 42.85% 47.32% 49.20% 56.32% Distribution of energy 8.00% 8.00% 12.00% 19.00% 26.00% 59.00% 69.00% 69.00% Petrochemicals 0.03% 0.08% 1.41% 4.98% 11.52% 20.36% 24.91% 25.24% Holding 0.96% 1.25% 2.03% 2.85% 19.86% 26.41% 32.95% 32.97% The loss allowance for financial assets and other receivables adjustment as of January 1, 2018 for the application of the expected credit losses methodology to the loss allowance as of December 31, 2017, based on the incurred loss model, is detailed as follows: Financial assets Other receivables Loss allowance under IAS 39 as of 12.31.2017 22 7 Adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings 4 (1) Loss allowance calculated under IFRS 9 as of 01.01.2018 26 6 The detailed adjustments to the opening balance in equity as a result of the application of IFRS 9, are disclosed net of tax effect for a total amount of US$ 2 million, with counterpart in retained earnings of US$ 1 million and in non-controlling interest of US$ 1 million. Finally, although cash, cash equivalents and financial assets are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss is immaterial. Loss allowance evolution as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, is detailed in Note 12.3. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is based on the book value of each financial asset in the Consolidated Financial Statements. On the basis of the change in an assumption, while holding all other assumptions constant, a 5% increase/(decrease) in the estimated trade receivables’ uncollectibility rate would result in US$ 1.5 million (decrease)/increase in 2019 fiscal year’s results, before income tax. 6.2.1.3 Liquidity risk The liquidity risk is associated with the Company’s capacity to finance its commitments and conduct its business plans with stable financial sources, as well as with the indebtedness level and the financial debt maturities profile. The cash flow projection is made by the Financial Department. The Company Management supervises updated projections on liquidity requirements to guarantee the sufficiency of cash and liquid financial instruments to meet operating and financing needs of the Company while keeping at all times a sufficient margin for unused credit facilities. In this way, the aim is that the Company does not breach indebtedness levels or the Covenants, if applicable, of any credit facility. Those projections take into consideration the Company’s debt financing plans, the meeting of the covenants and, if applicable, the external regulatory or legal requirements such as, for example, restrictions on the use of foreign currency. Additionally, the Financial Department regularly monitors the available credit for the Company, both in local and international, capital market as well as banking sector. Excess cash and balances above working capital management requirements are managed by the Company’s Treasury Department, which invests them in marketable securities, term deposits and mutual funds, selecting instruments having proper currencies and maturities, and an adequate credit quality and liquidity to provide a sufficient margin as determined in the previously mentioned projections. The Company keeps its sources of financing diversified between banks and the capital market, and it is exposed to the refinancing risk at maturity. It should be noted that the Company operates in an economic context which main variables have recently suffered significant volatility as a result of political and economic events both domestically and internationally, as described in Note 1.2. The impact of COVID-19, added to the special circumstances of the sovereign debt renegotiation being conducted since the end of 2019, affected the international financial markets, which in turn also adversely affected the cost of access to financing, hedging activities, liquidity and access to capital for emerging markets in general, and particularly for Argentina. As regards to access to domestic financing, an increase in liquidity in pesos has been experienced throughout the market, which has significantly reduced the cost of financing, especially in the very short term. All these impacts may potentially affect the Company’s capacity to obtain financing for its operations in a timely manner and under acceptable and efficient terms, costs and conditions in line with the Company’s business needs. Furthermore, the restrictions imposed by the BCRA (see Note 2.7) with the purpose of regulating inflows and outflows in the MLC to maintain the exchange rate stability and protect international reserves in view of the high degree of uncertainty and volatility in the exchange rate and other new restrictions which may be imposed in the future may affect the Company’s capacity to access the MLC to acquire the foreign currency necessary to meet its financial obligations, such as debt principal and interest payments (including the CBs debt), and other additional payments abroad, or otherwise affect the Company’s business and the results of its operations. The Company’s Management permanently monitors the evolution of situations affecting its business to determine possible steps to take and identify potential impacts on its assets and financial position. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in the light of these circumstances. It is worth highlighting that the Company currently has a strong level of liquidity that allows it to properly face such volatility. The determination of the Company’s liquidity index for fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is detailed below: 12.31.2020 12.31.2019 Current assets 948 1,362 Current liabilities 448 854 Index 2.12 1.59 The following table includes an analysis of the Company financial liabilities, grouped according to their maturity dates and considering the period remaining until their contractual maturity date from the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Derivative financial liabilities are included in the analysis if their contractual maturities are essential for the understanding of the cash flow calendar. The amounts shown in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. As of December 31, 2020 Trade receivables Trade and other payables (1) Borrowings Less than three months 244 - 82 Three months to one year 3 116 228 One to two years - 7 111 Two to five years - 3 645 More than five years - 6 1,145 Total 247 132 2,211 As of December 31, 2019 Trade receivables Trade and other payables (1) Borrowings Less than three months 495 - 95 Three months to one year 5 454 188 One to two years 8 11 288 Two to five years - 70 834 More than five years - 9 1,233 Total 508 544 2,638 (1) Includes Lease Liabilities (see Note 18.1.2) 6.3 Capital risk management The aims of managing capital are safeguard its capacity to continue operating as an on-going business with the purpose of generating return for its shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, and keeping an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. To keep or adjust its capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of the dividends paid to its shareholders, reimburse capital to its shareholders, issue new shares, conduct stock repurchase programs or sell assets to reduce its debt. In line with industry practices, the Company monitors its capital based on the leverage ratio. This ratio is calculated by dividing the net debt by the total capital. The net debt equals the total indebtedness (including current and non-current indebtedness) minus cash and cash equivalents and current financial assets at fair value through profit and loss. The total capital corresponds to the shareholders’ equity as shown in the statement of financial position, plus the net debt. Financial leverage ratios as at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows: 12.31.2020 12.31.2019 Total borrowings 1,614 1,947 Less: cash and cash equivalents, and financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (466) (590) Net debt 1,148 1,357 Total capital attributable to owners 2,576 3,274 Leverage ratio 44.57% 41.45% |

Investment companies A literal application of the tax inflation adjustment mechanism set forth by Title VI of the Income Tax Act is inconsistent in certain aspects that have not been applied by some investing subsidiaries in the assessment of the income tax for fiscal years 2020 and 2019. HIDISA and HINISA HIDISA and HINISA have assessed the income tax for fiscal years 2012 - 2019 taking into consideration the application of the inflation adjustment mechanisms set forth in Title VI of the Income Tax Act, charging all its income in fiscal year 2019, thus failing to apply Section 194 of the Law, the update of Property, plant and equipment amortizations (Sections 87, 88 and 85.e), and a cost restatement on account of the disposal of shares and mutual funds quotas (Section 65), to such effect using the relevant indexes published by the INDEC and relying on the similarity with the parameters stated in re “Candy S.A.”, resolved by the CSJN on July 3, 2009, which ruling ordered the application of the inflation adjustment mechanism. As of December 31, 2020, the companies hold a provision for the additional income tax liabilities which should have been assessed for the reasons mentioned above. The provision for the period, including compensatory interest, and is disclosed under “Non-current income tax liabilities”. |

Borrowing costs capitalized in the book value of property, plant and equipment during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 amounted to US$ 10 million and US$ 17 million, respectively (see Note 12.5). 11.1.1 Impairment of Property, plant and equipment The Company regularly monitors the existence of events or changes in circumstances which may indicate that the book value of property, plant and equipment may not be recoverable in accordance with the policy described in Notes 4.9 and 6.1.1. In the Power Generation segment, spot market prices that suffered reductions in 2019 were again affected by the change in currency of the whole remuneration scheme as from February 1, 2020 and the temporary suspension of the automatic price adjustment mechanism replicating inflation, which has not been restored as of the issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements. In the Oil and Gas segment, the market for gas, a product which represents approximately 90% of our hydrocarbon production, experienced a reduction in the domestic sale price on account of oversupply in 2019, and in 2020 the lockdown measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 (see Note 1.2) caused a decrease in the SADI’s electricity generation, which resulted in a lower thermal dispatch and, consequently, lower gas consumptions by CAMMESA which, added to the decrease in the non-essential industrial demand, exacerbated oversupply in the summer months and led to lower tendered gas prices and decreases in domestic gas production. The above-mentioned lockdown measures also greatly affected the demand for oil, which experienced a collapse in sold volumes as a result of the sharp drop in the demand for refined products and the exhaustion of the storage capacity. Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned indications of impairment, the Company has determined the recoverable amount of the CGUs making up the Generation and Oil & Gas segments as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The methodology used in the estimation of the recoverable amount consisted on calculating the present value of future net cash flows expected to be generated by the CGU, discounted with a rate reflecting the weighted average costs of the capital employed. Cash flows were prepared based on estimates on the future behavior of certain variables that are sensitive in the determination of the value in use, including the following: (i) reference prices for products; (ii) demand projections per type of product; (iii) costs evolution; and; (iv) macroeconomic variables such as inflation and exchange rates, etc. 11.1.1.1 Generation segment As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the assessment of recoverability, determined through the value in use of the Güemes and Piedra Buena thermal power plants and the Pichi Picun Leufú, Diamante and Nihuiles hydroelectric power plants, with revenues fully generated in the spot market, and the Loma de la lata and Piquirenda thermal power plants, with revenues fully generated in the spot market as from the termination of the contracts in 2021, which make up the Power Generation segment, resulted in the recognition of impairment losses for US$ 110 million and US$ 52 million, respectively. The projections used in the calculation of the recoverable amount as of December 31, 2020 take into consideration 5 alternative scenarios with a probability of occurrence ranging between 10% and 40%, assigned based on historical experience on regulations set by the SE, which weigh: i) price restructuring increases ranging between 9% and 30% in 2021 and up to an additional 30% in 2022; ii) the total or partial implementation of the automatic inflation adjustment mechanism to the spot remuneration set by SE Resolution No. 31/20 as from 2022; iii) the gradual regularization towards 2023 of the financing term granted to CAMMESA to the levels observed in 2019; and iv) a 10.34% WACC rate after taxes. Actual values may substantially differ from projections, mainly on account of: i) the timeliness and magnitude of price restructuring updates for energy estimated for 2021 and 2022, ii) the modality for the reimplementation as from 2022 of the price inflation adjustment mechanism suspended by the SE, and/or iii) the date of regularization of the financing term granted to CAMMESA. Even though this variation has been taken into consideration when weighing the scenarios, the Company estimates that any sensitivity analysis that considers changes in any of them taken individually may lead to distorting conclusions, generating an adverse effect on the Company’s results. The key assumptions used in the calculation of the recoverable amount as of December 31, 2019 considered: i) the remuneration for sales in the spot market set by SE Resolution No. 31/20 (including the automatic price adjustment mechanism), and ii) an 9.7% after tax WACC discount rate. As regards these projections, it is worth highlighting that the Management has considered: i) that the Energía Plus contracted volume remains allocated to Genelba to maximize efficiency in cost structure, and ii) the entry into effect of co-generation and closing to combined cycle projects under SEE Resolution No. 287/17 and the resulting dispatch reduction for less efficient power plants such as Güemes and Piedra Buena. 11.1.1.2 Oil & Gas segment As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the recoverability of the assets in the Oil and Gas segment was assessed through the determination of their value in use. As of December 31, 2019, impairment losses for US$ 10 million were recognized in the Sierra Chata block. The projections used in the calculation of the recoverable amount as of December 31, 2020 take into consideration the following assumptions for gas: i) Years 2021 through 2024: sale of gas volumes at an annual average price of 3.46 US$/MMBTU; ii) Year 2025 onwards: the break-even price is reached, consistent with a prudent development of unconventional reserves in Vaca Muerta. In the case of oil, an average price of US$ 65 was estimated for the Brent barrel (reference price for the Company) until 2026 inclusive, as well as a gradual increase until reaching an average price of US$ 73 in 2030. The after tax WACC discount rate is 13.1%. The key assumptions used in the calculation of the recoverable amount as of December 31, 2019 consider i) a 2020 price of natural gas similar to the 2019 price, and a 20-25% gas price increase for 2021, price that is maintained in subsequent years considering a moderate development of unconventional resources (Vaca Muerta) tending to achieve gas domestic demand supply and a decrease in gas imports, and ii) a 12.6% after tax WACC discount rate before tax.

The Company’s management believes that its current operations are in compliance with applicable environmental requirements, as currently interpreted and enforced, including regulatory remediation commitments assumed. The Company undertakes environmental impact studies for new projects and investments and, to date, environmental requirements and restrictions imposed on these new projects have not had any material adverse impact on Pampa’s business. The Company has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to the discount rate. The 1% increase or decrease in the discount rate would not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. 11.5.2 Asset retirement obligations Pursuant to the regulations in force in Argentina, where it develops its oil and gas exploration and production operations, the Company is under an obligation to incur costs associated with the plugging and abandonment of wells. Furthermore, pursuant to the associated usufruct agreements, the Company is under an obligation to decommission wind turbines in wind farms. The Company does not have legally restricted assets for the cancellation of these obligations. The Company has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to the discount rate. The 1% increase or decrease in the discount rate would not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. 11.5.3 Provision for legal proceedings The Company (directly or indirectly through subsidiaries) is a party to several civil, commercial, contentious administrative, tax, custom and labor proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In determining a proper level of provision, the Company has considered its best estimate mainly with the assistance of legal and tax advisors. The determination of estimates may change in the future due to new developments or unknown facts at the time of evaluation of the provision. As a consequence, the adverse resolution of the evaluated proceedings and claims could exceed the established provision. The Company has recorded provisions for civil, commercial, administrative, labor, tax and customs complaints brought against the Company corresponding to atomized claims with individual unsubstantial amounts, as well as charges for judicial costs and expenses which, as of December 31, 2020, amount to US$ 17 million.

Estimated expected benefits payments for the next ten years are shown below. The amounts in the table represent the undiscounted cash flows and therefore do not reconcile to the obligations recorded at the end of the year. 12.31.2020 Less than one year 4 One to two years 2 Two to three years 2 Three to four years 2 Four to five years 2 Six to ten years 10 Significant actuarial assumptions used were as follows: 12.31.2020 12.31.2019 12.31.2018 Discount rate 4% 5% 5% Salaries increase 1% 1% 1% Average inflation 46% 27% 27% The following sensitivity analysis shows the effect of a variation in the discount rate and salaries increase on the obligation amount: 12.31.2020 Discount rate: 4% Obligation 27 Variation 2 10% Discount rate: 6% Obligation 23 Variation (2) (9%) Salaries increase: 0% Obligation 24 Variation (1) (4%) Salaries increase: 2% Obligation 26 Variation 1 5% The sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. Therefore, the presented analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the prior period. 11.9 Salaries and social security payable 12.31.2020 12.31.2019 Non-current Seniority - based bonus - 3 Early retirements payable - 1 Total non-current - 4 Current Salaries and social security contributions 3 22 Provision for vacations 7 17 Provision for gratifications and annual bonus for efficiency 13 26 Total current 23 65 |

The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: - Level 1: quoted prices (not adjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. - Level 2: data different from the quoted prices included in Level 1 observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). - Level 3: Asset or liability data based on information that cannot be observed in the market (i.e., unobservable data). As of December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Financial assets at fair value through Government securities 204 - - 204 Shares 29 - 11 40 Investment funds 92 - - 92 Cash and cash equivalents Investment funds 71 - - 71 Other receivables 72 - - 72 Total assets 468 - 11 479 As of December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Financial assets at fair value through Government securities 113 - - 113 Shares 8 - 11 19 Investment funds 244 - - 244 Cash and cash equivalents Investment funds 4 - - 4 Derivative financial instruments - 4 - 4 Other receivables 4 - - 4 Total assets 373 4 11 388 Liabilities Derivative financial instruments - 3 - 3 Trade and other liabilities - 7 - 7 Total liabilities - 10 - 10 The value of the financial instruments negotiated in active markets is based on the market quoted prices as of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements. A market is considered active when the quoted prices are regularly available through a stock exchange, broker, sector-specific institution or regulatory body, and those prices reflect regular and current market transactions between parties that act in conditions of mutual independence. The market quotation price used for the financial assets held by the Company is the current offer price. These instruments are included in Level 1. The fair value of financial instruments that are not negotiated in active markets is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of market observable information, when available, and rely as little as possible on specific estimates of the Company. If all significant variables to establish the fair value of a financial instrument can be observed, the instrument is included in Level 2. If one or more variables used to determine the fair value cannot be observed in the market, the financial instrument is included in Level 3. The techniques used for the measurement of assets at fair value with changes in income, classified as Level 2 and 3, are detailed below: - Derivative Financial Instruments: calculated from variations between market prices at the closing date of the year, and the amount at the time of the contract. - Shares: they were determined based on Income approach through the Indirect Cash Flow method (net present value of expected future cash flows) and the discount rates used were estimated taking the WAAC rate as a parameter. |

EQUITY COMPONENTS | NOTE 13 13.1 Share capital As of December 31, 2020, the share capital amounts to $ 1,455 million, including $ 4 million treasury shares. 13.1.1 Share buyback programs Taking into consideration the market volatility experienced as from 2018 and the persisting divergence between the Company’s share price and the economic reality its assets currently or potentially have, which is detrimental to the interests of its shareholders, and considering the Company’s history of strong cash position and fund availability, the Board of Directors has implemented several share buyback programs, considering in each case that treasury shares may not exceed the 10% capital stock capitalization. During fiscal year 2020, the Board of Directors approved Programs 6 and 7 for US$ 27 million and $ 3,600 million, with a maximum price of US$ 13 per ADR, which have been completed and for which all repurchased shares have been canceled. Program 8 approved on October 30, 2020 for a maximum amount of US$ 30 million and an initial term of 120 calendar days, with a maximum price of US$ 15 per ADR and $ 85.20 per common share, was in effect as of December 31, 2020, and has terminated as of the issuance of these Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2020, there are no own shares held in treasury under the buyback programs. Program 8 approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 1, 2021 for a maximum amount of US$ 30 million and an initial term of 120 calendar days, under which shares may be acquired up to a maximum price of US$ 16 per ADR and $ 92.16 per common share, is in effect as of the issuance of these Financial Statements. After the closing of the fiscal year, the Company directly and indirectly acquired 34.7 million own shares for a value of US$ 18.6 million. 13.1.2 Stock Compensation Plan During fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Company delivered 0.7 million own shares as payments under the stock compensation plan for officers and other key staff. As of December 31, 2020, the Company acquired 6 million own shares, out of which 2 million were allocated to the compensation of senior managers and, as of the closing of the fiscal year, 4 million remained in treasury to be delivered to employees under such plan (see Note 4.17). 13.1.3 Capital reductions On April 7, 2020 and December 10, 2020, the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders resolved to reduce its capital stock through the cancellation of 152 million and 141 million own shares, respectively, held in treasury by the Company and its subsidiaries as of the last business day prior to such dates acquired under the share buyback programs. These reductions are pending with the Public Registry. 13.2 Earnings per share 13.2.1 Basic Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the result attributable to the Company’s equity interest holders by the weighted average of outstanding common shares during the year. 13.2.2 Diluted 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 business. 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, or 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 earnings per share equal to the basic. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company does not hold any significant potential dilutive shares, therefore there are no differences with the basic earning per share. 12.31.2020 12.31.2019 12.31.2018 Earning for continuing operations attributable to the equity holders of the Company 132 594 85 Weighted average amount of outstanding shares 40 48 52 Basic and diluted earnings per share 3.30 12.38 1.63 (Loss) Earning for discontinued operations attributable to the equity holders of the Company (499) 98 139 Weighted average amount of outstanding shares 40 48 52 Basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share from (12.48) 2.04 2.68 (Loss) earning attributable to the equity holders of the Company (367) 692 224 Weighted average amount of outstanding shares 40 48 52 Basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share (9.18) 14.42 4.31 13.3 p Dividends Pursuant to Law No. 27,430, enacted in December 2017, and the suspension provided for by Law No. 27,541 (Note 2.6.1.2), dividends distributed to individuals, undivided estates or beneficiaries residing abroad, derived from profits generated during fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2021, are subject to a 7% withholding tax.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND ASSETS | NOTE 15 We hereinafter detail the nature of significant proceedings as of December 31, 2019, not considered as probable by the Company based on the opinion of the Company’s internal and external counselors. 15.1 Labor Claim – Compensatory Plan The Company faces several legal proceedings associated with the Defined Benefit Plan “Compensatory Plan” (see Note 11.8). We hereinafter describe the nature of currently-pending labor claims: - Claims by former employees not covered by the plan, seeking their inclusion. In one of the causes, the Company obtained a favorable judgment, which has been appealed by the plaintiff. - Claims by former employees seeking a compensation under the plan on account of terminations due to changes in shareholding control. - Claims on considering that the index (IPC) used to update the plan benefits are ineffective to keep their “constant value”. In one of the causes, the Company obtained a favorable judgment, which has been appealed by the plaintiff. - Claims on an alleged underfunding of the plan upon the elimination of the Company’s contributions based on earnings. 15.2 Tax claim - Tax on Liquid Fuels and Natural Gas: The AFIP filed a claim in the amount of $ 54 million against the Company for an alleged omission in the payment of Taxes on Liquid Fuels and Natural Gas during fiscal periods January 2006 through August 2011, plus compensatory interest and a penalty of $ 38 million for such omission. The tax entity supports its claim on the allegation that the tax benefit granted to sales to areas declared exempt by the tax law has been misappropriated. The proceeding is currently being heard before the Federal Tax Court, and the evidentiary period has been completed. 15.3 Environmental claims - The Association of Land Owners of Patagonia (ASSUPA) has brought a complaint for an indefinite amount against the Company and other companies seeking the restoration of the environment to the state prior to the exploration, exploitation, production, storage and transportation of hydrocarbon works conducted by the plaintiffs and the prevention of alleged future environmental impacts on certain areas in the Austral Basin. The National Government and the Provinces of Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego have been summoned as third parties. The proceeding is at the complaint answer stage. - ASSUPA has instituted a complaint before the CSJN against 10 companies, including the Company. The National Government and the Provinces of Buenos Aires, La Pampa, Mendoza, Neuquén and Río Negro have been summoned as third parties. The main claim seeks that the plaintiffs should be ordered to redress the alleged environmental damage caused by the hydrocarbon activity developed in the Neuquina Basin and to set up the environmental restoration fund provided for by section 22 of the General Environmental Law. Subsidiarily, and in case restoration is not possible, it seeks the redress of the allegedly sustained collective damages for an amount estimated at US$ 547 million based on a United Nations Development Program report. The proceeding is in the complaint answer stage. - Beatriz Mendoza and other 16 plaintiffs brought a complaint before the CSJN against the National Government, the Province of Buenos Aires, the Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and 44 companies, including the Company, conducting industrial activities along the Matanza-Riachuelo River Basin. The plaintiffs seek compensation for alleged damages sustained as a result of an alleged environmental impact, its cessation, the environmental recomposition and redress, for an estimated amount of US$ 500 million for the financing of the Matanza-Riachuelo River Basin Environmental Management Plan aiming at the restoration of the basin. The proceeding is in the third-party summoning stage. - Inertis S.A. Has filed a complaint against the Company for alleged damage to the environment in a lot owned by this company as a result of the activities conducted by the Dock Sud Plant seeking the redress of alleged damages for a nominal amount estimated at $ 1 million and US$ 1 million, or the difference between the value of the allegedly affected lot and its valuation. The proceeding is in the evidentiary stage. - Fundación SurfRider Argentina has requested the performance of preliminary proceedings on account of alleged indications of environmental damage in the City of Mar del Plata. The plaintiff seeks the recomposition of the alleged environmental damage having collective impact, or the compensation for the alleged damages caused by all companies owning gas stations in the coastal area of the City of Mar del Plata for an alleged fuel leakage from gas stations’ underground storage tanks into the water, soil and marine system. The Foundation estimates damages in the amount of $ 200 million. The proceeding is pending the resolution of the admissibility of CSJN’s jurisdiction. - Some neighbors of the Dock Sud area brought a complaint against 14 oil companies, including the Company, petrochemical companies and waste incineration plants located in the Dock Sud Petrochemical Complex for an alleged damage to the environment and alleged individual damage to their goods, health and morale. The CSJN determined it had jurisdiction over the environmental issue, and maintained the civil and commercial jurisdiction regarding the compensation for the alleged damages. - A neighbor of the Province of Salta owning a lot where a joint venture made up of the plaintiffs (the Company and other companies) conducted hydrocarbon activities seeks environmental protection and restoration for alleged damage caused by hydrocarbon prospecting, exploration and/or exploitation activities or, alternatively, a compensation in case such environmental restoration is not possible. The Province of Salta has been summoned as a third party. The proceeding is in the complaint answer stage and with a negative conflict of jurisdiction. - Owners of a lot in the town of Garín, Province of Buenos Aires, seek the performance of preliminary proceedings for alleged indications of damage to the environment in their place of residence which would result from an alleged leakage from the adjacent gas station under the Company’s branding. Preliminary measures are being conducted in this proceeding. - Neighbors of the Province of Neuquén brought a proceeding against the Company for alleged environmental damage resulting from the hydrocarbon exploration, exploitation, transportation and well abandonment activities in which that plaintiff has been taking part. Should this not be feasible, they claim a compensation for alleged damages to support the Environmental Restoration Fund. Additionally, they request the redress of alleged moral damages to be allocated to the Environmental Restoration Fund. The presence of all involved parties has been properly verified, and the lawsuit has been referred to the administrative litigation jurisdiction. - The Company initiated a legal claim against the Province of La Pampa requesting the annulment and revocation of administrative acts through which said Province through its Undersecretary of Hydrocarbons and Mining and its Undersecretariat of Environment, intends that the Company carries out definitive abandonment of 13 hydrocarbon wells located within the Jagüel de los Machos Area that were inactive by the time the concession belonged to the company -September 2015-, as well as the presentation of a plan for the remediation of certain environmental liabilities. It is worth clarifying that an environmental audit was carried out at the time of the reversal of the hydrocarbon area, and the deviations observed therein are currently corrected. The presence of all involved parties under the lawsuit is currently being verified - Plaintiff Martinez Lidia and other three plaintiffs claim financial compensation for alleged damage to their health and property caused by the alleged environmental affectation sustained as a result of living next to Puerto General San Martin petrochemical plant (Rosario-Santa Fe). The proceeding is currently in the evidentiary stage. The evidentiary stage is closed and the setting of the date for the hearing to choose by lot the Public Defender for the heirs of the deceased plaintiff is pending. - A neighbor of the Province of Buenos Aires brought a complaint against the Company seeking the removal of three fuel storage tanks and pumps and the remediation and restoration of the soils where such tanks are located on account of an alleged environmental affectation. The proceeding is in the evidentiary stage. - Neighbors of the Province of Santa Fe have brought a complaint against the Company for alleged environmental damage. The Company obtained a favorable judgment, which has been appealed by the plaintiff. 15.4 Civil and Commercial Claims - The “Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil Para Su Defensa” claim the nominal amount of US$ 3,650 million as compensation for damages, Pampa, Petrolera Pampa S.A. and certain Pampa directors in office during 2016 being co-plaintiffs together with Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. A complaint has been brought against Petrobras Brasil for the depreciation of the share quotation value as a result of the “lava jato operation” and the so-called “Petrolao”, and the plaintiffs claim Pampa, Petrolera Pampa S.A. and the directors’ joint and several liability alleging the acquisition of indirect control in Petrobras Argentina S.A. may have thwarted the enforcement of a possible judgment favorable to the plaintiff (for up to the amount of the price paid by Pampa for the acquisition of control over Petrobras Argentina S.A.). The plaintiff appealed the Arbitration Court’s decision declaring the dismissal of the main claim upon the failure to pay the arbitration fee. The Chamber of Appeals in Commercial Matters upheld the filed extraordinary appeal. On its part, Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. filed an appearance, requested that the lack of substance of the filed appeal should be declared, and subsidiarily answered it. The Company has still not been served notice of the appeal. - The Company was notified of the institution of a collective action in the City of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, by a lawyer of that nationality, Felipe Machado Caldeira, alleging that Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. has not conducted Petrobras Argentina’s sales process pursuant to a competitive bidding process in accordance with Brazilian laws applicable to mixed public-private firms in Brazil, for a nominal amount of R$ 1,000 million. In this proceeding, no specific accusation against Pampa has been filed. The proceeding is currently suspended in the integration and complaint answer stage. Upon the death of the plaintiff and the Public Prosecution Service’s statement that it is not interested in pursuing the complaint, a legal notice was published so that any citizen may express its interest in pursuing it and judgment was rendered, thus terminating the proceeding, which judgment is final and conclusive and deemed res judicata - Messrs. Candoni, Giannasi, Pinasco and Torriani brought arbitration complaints against the Company before the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange’s Arbitration Court seeking to challenge the price and tender offer for the merger through absorption of Petrobras Argentina S.A. into Pampa Energía S.A. for a nominal amount of $ 148 million. The complaints have been joined. The Court issued a partial award upholding the challenge under the capital markets law used by the plaintiff to dispute the exchange ratio used in the merger and dismissed the Company’s position, which stated that the proper course of action would be to challenge the shareholders’ meeting pursuant to the Business Organizations Law. The Company filed an appeal against this partial award and filed a motion for appeal and nullity which will be resolved by the Chamber of Appeals in Commercial Matters. This Chamber upheld the motion for appeal and nullity filed by the Company, revoking the partial award and sustaining that the proper proceeding for raising objections is to contest the shareholders’ meetings under the Business Organizations Law, and not to challenge the fair price established in the Capital Markets Law for MTOs. This judgment is deemed final and conclusive as the plaintiffs have not filed an extraordinary appeal before the CSJN. - Petrobras Operaciones S.A. (“POSA”) has filed an international arbitration claim against the Company before the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) on account of alleged breaches to the Assignment Agreement entered into between Petrobras Argentina S.A. (currently Pampa Energía S.A.) and POSA in 2016 for the transfer of a 33.6% interest in the “Río Neuquén” Concession. The breaches alleged by POSA in its arbitration claim consist of the failure to transfer certain assets associated with the assigned interest, and differences in the calculation of adjustments in the assignment price. The arbitration will be conducted according to the ICC Rules of Arbitration, the applicable law will be that of the Republic of Argentina, and the seat of arbitration will be Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Company timely answered the arbitration claim, and also filed a counterclaim for differences in the calculation of adjustments in the assignment price which were not paid by POSA. The Arbitration Court that will hear the arbitration proceeding has been set up, and the Mission Statement and Procedural Order No. 1 have been executed. We hereinafter detail the nature of significant legal proceedings brought by the Company as of December 31, 2020 where the related inflows of economic benefits are estimated to be probable by the Company. 15.5 Administrative claims - CTLL (currently Pampa) filed an administrative litigation complaint against the Federal Government for contractual breach during the January 2016-July 2016 period. CTLL claims that CAMMESA’s decision regarding the renewal and recognition of costs associated with natural gas supply agreements should be reversed and that, subsidiarily, sustained damages should be redressed. The rendering of judgment was requested. Later on, CTLL filed a new contentious administrative litigation complaint against the Federal Government for contractual breach during the April 2016-October 2018 period. The Federal Government has answered the complaint. - Upon the determination of the expiration of the Veta Escondida block concession granted by the Province of Neuquén, the Company filed a declaratory judgment action to achieve certainty under the original jurisdiction of the CSJN pursuant to section 322 of the Federal Code of Civil and Commercial Procedure. Both parties agreed to suspend the proceeding to pursue a private settlement and, therefore, the closing of the evidentiary stage will be requested. - The Company brought an administrative litigation action against the Road Authority (DNV) of the Province of Buenos Aires seeking the nullity of DNV Resolution No. 1715/19 dated December 10, 2019, which modified the regulatory framework applicable to aerial and underground power lines in Urban and Rural Road Areas of the Province of Buenos Aires, compliance with which may generate economic losses to the Company. Based on the analysis of this Resolution, the Company withdrew the filed complaint, and keeps the right to individually challenge the administrative actions ordered pursuant to DNV Resolution No. 1715/2019. 15.6 Civil and Commercial Claims - The Company has filed an international arbitration claim against Petrobras International Braspetro B.V. on account of fraudulent representations and omissions associated with certain export transactions under the share purchase agreement executed on May 13, 2016, whereby the Company acquired 67.2% of Petrobras Argentina S.A.’s capital stock.The arbitration will be held pursuant to the ICC’s Arbitration Rules, the applicable law will be that of the State of New York and the seat of arbitration will be New York. Petrobras International Braspetro B.V. timely answered the request for arbitration and also filed a counterclaim seeking the payment of a percentage over the difference between the amount estimated for certain contingencies detected in the purchase process and the amount actually paid for them. The Arbitration Court that will hear the arbitration proceeding has been set up, and the Mission Statement and Procedural Order No. 1 have been executed. - EcuadorTLC, in its capacity as assignee of the Ecuadorian company Petromanabí S.A., has filed an international arbitration proceeding against the Republic of Ecuador seeking the payment of 12% of the Settlement Value, the latter pursuant to the terms of the Hydrocarbon Exploration and Crude Oil Exploitation Participation Agreement in Block 18 entered into on December 19, 1995 and/or the Hollín Common Field Unified Exploitation Operating Agreement executed on August 7, 2002 —in both cases, as amended—. The arbitration will be conducted according to the Arbitration Rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, the applicable law will be the Ecuadorian law, and the seat of arbitration will be the City of Santiago de Chile. The procedure for the appointment of the arbitrators who will make up the arbitration court is currently underway. - EcuadorTLC is currently making claims to Petroecuador as a result of certain breaches to the transportation agreement entered into on December 31, 2008 whereby the Ecuadorian Government undertook the crude oil transportation commitment through the OCP, to be charged to the oil transportation capacity hired by EcuadorTLC. To such effect, a mediation proceeding was brought before the Center for Mediation of the Attorney General’s Office of the Government of Ecuador sitting in the City of Quito, which ended without agreement. EcuadorTLC retains its claim rights for the aforementioned breaches - The Company reached a settlement agreement with Petrominera Chubut Sociedad del Estado on account of the latter’s breach of Inversora Ingentis S.A.’s share purchase agreement and the decision issued by the BCBA’s Arbitration Court in this respect. In accordance with the agreement, as of December 31, 2020 the Company received a payment of US$ 3.5 million and has recognized a US$ 2.8 million profit under “Other operating income” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. - After the commissioning of PEPE II and PEPE III wind farms, certain defects were evidenced in the blades of some wind turbines, which resulted in their withdrawal from service for their subsequent repair and/or replacement. As a result of the failure, the generation capacity of the wind farms has been partially reduced. The Company submitted the corresponding claims to the supplier and the insurance company in order to move forward with the repair of the wind turbines and cover the incurred damages. In this sense, the Company, together with the wind turbines supplier, performed the tasks for the progressive repair of the wind turbines in 2020, with the exception of a wind turbine in PEPE II wind farm, which remains unavailable, and has disclosed a receivable with an offsetting entry in the item “Other operating income” of the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the amount of US$ 6.6 million regarding the claims made to the supplier and the insurance company. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has received payments for US$ 3.2 million on account of compensation for the claimed damages, and as of the issuance hereof, US$ 1.2 million are pending collection. |

INVESTMENT COMMITMENTS | NOTE 16 16.1 New generation projects Under the National Government’s call for the expansion of the generation offer, the Company participates in the following thermal generation projects: 16.1.1 PEPE II and PEPE III wind farms On May 10, 2019, CAMMESA declared the commercial commissioning of PEPE II (Pampa Energía wind farm) for a 50.4 MW power capacity and PEPE III (de la Bahía wind farm) for a 28.8 MW power capacity, the commercial commissioning for a 50.4 MW power capacity of the latter being completed on June 10, 2019. PEPE II is located in an area adjacent to Mario Cebreiro Wind Farm, in the area known as Corti, 20 kilometers from the City of Bahía Blanca. PEPE III is located in Coronel Rosales, near the City of Bahía Blanca. Both projects called for an investment of US$ 130 million. The production of both wind farms is sold under agreements between private parties pursuant to the Term Market of Electric Power from Renewable Sources (MATER) Regime within the framework of SEE Resolution No. 281/17. Non-contracted energy will be remunerated according to the spot market remuneration (see Note 2). 16.1.2 Genelba Thermal Power Plant The Genelba Plus’ closing to combined cycle project was selected under SEE Resolution No. 926-E/17 within the framework of the “Call for the Execution of New Co-generation and Closing to Combined Cycles Projects” provided for by SEE Resolution No. 287-E/17. Upon the commercial commissioning of the closing to combined cycle, the Wholesale Power Purchase Agreement executed with CAMMESA for a maximum committed capacity of 377 MW and a term of 15 years will enter into effect. On June 12, 2019, CAMMESA declared the commercial commissioning of Genelba power plant’s fourth gas turbine for a power capacity of up to 187.7 MW. Furthermore, CAMMESA enabled the 13 MW repowering of the GEBATG03 unit’s power capacity, as of June 1, 2019.These units are part of Genelba Plus’ closing to combined cycle project. CAMMESA commissioned CTGEBA’s GEBATV02 effective as from 00:00 on July 2, 2020 for a gross capacity of 199 MW, milestone that marked the beginning of operations of CTGEBA’s second combined cycle, a project where the Company invested approximately US$ 320 million to add 400 MW and employed an average of 1,500 people during the 30-month work period. With the completion of the new combined cycle, the total installed capacity of CTGEBA amounts to 1,243 MW, becoming the largest thermal power plant in the country, with an outstanding efficiency of 55% on average and the capacity to supply electricity to 2.5 million households in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. On October 7, 2020, CAMMESA informed that, after performing certain improvements in the CC consisting of units GEBATG01, GEBATG02 and GEBATV01, a total additional power capacity of 11 MW was achieved. In this way, the Company has fulfilled its commitments with CAMMESA under the electricity wholesale supply agreement entered into pursuant to former SEE Resolution No. 287/17. In line with the Company’s strategy to develop its core businesses, this milestone adds to the efforts put forth over the last 12 years to increase the power generation infrastructure, demanding investments for more than US$ 1,500 million, hence becoming Argentina’s largest independent power producer, operating a total 4,955 MW of installed capacity, which represents 12% of the national grid. 16.1.3 CTB Regarding the commitment to CTB’s closing to combined cycle project, detailed in Note 5.3.5, for increasing the installed power capacity from 567 MW to 847 MW, with an estimated investment of US$ 200 million, on September 27, 2019, CTB and a joint venture made up of SACDE and Techint Compañía Técnica Internacional S.A.C.E.I, executed an engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and turnkey agreement for the execution of the closing of the combined cycle at CTEB (the “EPC Agreement”). The evolution of the measures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the execution of the works for CTB’s closing to combined cycle from the beginning. The stiffening of social lockdown measures experience from July 1, 2020 excluded private infrastructure works from the exempted activities. Later on, pursuant to Resolutions No. 1197-MJGM-2020 and No. 1690-MJGM-2020 passed by the Buenos Aires Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers’s Office, as amended, the Company resumed the execution of construction works following their critical path as from July 20, 2020. Within this framework, on July 28, 2020, the Company and the Joint Venture made up of SACDE Sociedad Argentina de Construcción y Desarrollo Estratégico S.A. and Techint Compañía Técnica Internacional S.A.C.E.I. entered into an addendum to the construction agreement within the framework of the restrictions currently imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, reaching an agreement on the impact on costs and works’ execution terms, and launching a new stage for the execution of the closing to combined cycle. Even trough, the commercial commissioning of the steam turbine is estimated for the first quarter of 2022, it is impossible to foresee how measures will continue evolving or to which extent terms and costs may be affected in the future. 16.1.4 PEPE IV wind farm The Company, as assignee of the rights under the PEPE IV project, requested to CAMMESA an extension of the term for the commercial commissioning of the wind farm, as well as its relocation. The request was authorized by the SGE and, to make it effective, CAMMESA asked the Company to meet certain requirements, including making several disbursements and increasing the originally granted guarantee pursuant to SGE Resolution No. 230/19. However, as a result of events occurred during 2019, including the devaluation of the peso and the increase in interest rates, which have resulted in a growing macroeconomic instability, the Company requested an extension of the term to meet the above-mentioned requirements in order to evaluate the feasibility of the project under the new conditions, as well as to negotiate changes proposed by work contractors and equipment suppliers. In this context, and based on a thorough evaluation of the renewable projects in progress, on September 11, 2019 the SSERyEE instructed CAMMESA to temporarily suspend the claims for non-compliance, and demanded the Company to extend the validity of the US$ 12.5 million guarantee for a term of 180 days. On October 4, 2019, the Company complied with the requested extension. On October 9, 2019, the SSERyEE canceled the suspension. On October 30, 2019, CAMMESA served on the Company a formal demand requiring certain payments associated with the postponement of the commercial commissioning of the project and its relocation under penalty of enforcing the guarantee. The Company rejected the demand served by CAMMESA awaiting SGE’s consideration of the extension request, and on December 9, 2019 it entered into an agreement with CAMMESA establishing a negotiation process to be developed until January 31, 2020 inclusive, during which CAMMESA should suspend the enforcement of the guarantee. The agreement term was extended until January 31, 2021. Despite the expiration of the extension it is estimated that it will be re-extended once CAMMESA receives the corresponding instruction from the SE. 16.2 Investment commitment for the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons As of the issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has committed investments for an estimated total amount of US$ 383 million, based on its participation, to be disbursed between 2020 and 2023, mainly regarding the Sierra Chata, Las Tacanas, El Mangrullo, Rincón del Mangrullo and Chirete areas. In turn, as mentioned in Note 2.3.2.1.2, the Company has committed an investment of approximately US$ 250 million over the four years of the GasAr Plan. |

Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates | 4.3 Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates 4.3.1 Functional and presentation currency The information included in these Consolidated Financial Statements is recorded in U.S. Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency, that is, the currency of the primary economic environment where the entity operates. 4.3.2 Foreign-currency transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on each transaction date or valuation date, when items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on the settlement of monetary items and on translating monetary items at the closing of the fiscal year using year-end exchange rate are recognized within the financial results in the statement of comprehensive income, with the exception of capitalized amounts. 4.3.3 Group companies’ translation into functional currency The results and financial position of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates whose functional currency is the Argentine Peso, a currency of a hyperinflationary economy, are translated into the Company’s functional currency using the year-end exchange rate. The results generated by the application of IAS 29 adjustment mechanism for hyperinflationary economies, on the opening equity measured in functional currency are recognized under “Other comprehensive income”. 4.3.4 Classification of Other comprehensive income within the Company’s equity The Company classifies and directly accumulates within equity, in the retained earnings line, the results generated by the application of the IAS 29 adjustment mechanism on the opening retained earnings, while the remaining results are presented in a separate component of equity and accumulated until the disposal of the foreign operation in “Other comprehensive income”, in accordance with IAS 21. |
Principles of consolidation and equity accounting | 4.4 Principles of consolidation and equity accounting 4.4.1 Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The Group cease consolidation of entities from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group (see Note 4.4.5 below). Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position respectively. 4.4.2 Associates Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control or joint control. This is generally the case where the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting (see Note 4.4.4 below), after initially being recognized at cost. 4.4.3 Joint arrangements Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures, according IFRS 11 “ Joint Arrangements” 4.4.3.1 Joint operations The Company recognizes its direct right to the assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses of joint operations and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses. These have been incorporated in the Consolidated Financial Statements under the appropriate headings. 4.4.3.2 Joint ventures Interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (see Note 4.4.4 below), after initially being recognized at cost. 4.4.4 Equity Method Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, together with any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the net investment, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group’s interest in these entities. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The carrying amount of equity accounted investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described below in Note 4.9. 4.4.5 Business combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisitions comprises: (i) the fair value of the transferred assets, (ii) the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business, (iii) the equity interests issued by the group, (iv) the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and (v) the fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The value of the goodwill represents the excess of: Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. The Group has up to 12 months to finalize the accounting for a business combination. Where the accounting for a business combination is not complete by the end of the year in which the business combination occurred, the Group reports provisional amounts. 4.4.6 Changes in ownership interests The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognized in “Other reserves” within equity attributable to owners of the Company. When the Group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. |
Segment reporting | 4.5 Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Executive committee. The Executive Committee, is the highest decision-making authority, is the person responsible for allocating resources and setting the performance of the entity’s operating segments, and has been identified as the person/ body executing the Company’s strategic decisions. In segmentation the Company considers transactions with third parties and intercompany operations, which are done on internal transfer pricing based on market prices for each product. |
Property, plant and equipment | 4.6 Property, plant and equipment Property, Plant and Equipment is measured following the cost model. It is recognized at acquisition cost less depreciation a less any accumulated impairment. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred. The cost of work in progress whose construction will extend over time includes, if applicable, the computation of financial costs accrued on loans granted by third parties and other pre-production costs, net of any income obtained from the sale of commercially valuable production during the launching period. Works in progress are valued according to their degree of progress. Works in progress are recorded at cost less any loss due to impairment, if applicable. Assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each year. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset´s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the sale price with the carrying amount, stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the disposal date. 4.6.1 Depreciation methods and useful lives The group depreciates productive wells, machinery and camps in the oil and gas production areas according to the units of production method, by applying the ratio of oil and gas produced to estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves. The acquisition cost of property with proved reserves is depreciated by applying the ratio of oil and gas produced to estimated proved oil and gas reserves. Acquisition costs related to properties with unproved reserves is valued at cost with recoverability periodically assessed on the basis of geological and engineering estimates of possible and probable reserves that are expected to be proved over the life of each concession. Machinery and generation equipment (including any significant identifiable component) are depreciated under the unit of production method. The group´s remaining items of property, plant and equipment (including any significant identifiable component) are depreciated by the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives, as detailed below: Buildings: 50 years Vehicles: 5 years Furniture, fittings and communication equipment: 5- 20 years Computer equipment and software: 3 years Tools: 10 years Gas Plant and Pipeline: 20 years If appropriate, the depreciation method is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each year. 4.6.2 Asset retirement obligations Estimated future costs of asset retirement obligations on well abandonment in oil and gas areas and wind turbines decommissioning in wind farms, discounted at a risk adjusted rate, are capitalized in the cost of the assets and depreciated using the units of production method. Additionally, a liability at the estimated value of the discounted amounts payable is recognized. Changes in the measurement of asset retirement obligations that result from changes in the estimated timing, amount of the outflow of resources required to settle the obligation, or the discount rate, are added to, or deducted from, the cost of the related asset. If a decrease in the liability exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss. |
Intangible assets | 4.7 Intangible assets 4.7.1 Goodwill Goodwill is the result of the acquisition of subsidiaries. Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the equity interest in the acquired entity held by the company on the net identifiable assets acquired at the date of acquisition. For impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated from the acquisition date to each of the acquirer’s CGU or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units that goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. 4.7.2 Concession arrangements Concession arrangements corresponding to Edenor and hydroelectric generation plants Diamante and Nihuiles are not under the scope of the guidelines of IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Arrangements”. These concession agreements meet the criteria set forth by the IFRSs for capitalization less depreciation a less any accumulated impairment. They are amortized following the straight-line method based on each asset’s useful life, which corresponds to the life of each concession agreement. 4.7.3 Identified intangible assets in acquired investments Corresponds to intangible assets identified at the moment of the acquisition of companies. Identified assets meet the criteria established in IFRS for capitalization less depreciation a less any accumulated impairment. They are amortized by the straight-line method according to the useful life of each asset, considering the estimated way in which the benefits produced by the asset will be consumed. |
Assets for oil and gas exploration | 4.8 Assets for oil and gas exploration The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas exploration and production activities. This method involves the capitalization of: (i) the cost of acquiring properties in oil and gas exploration and production areas; (ii) the cost of drilling and equipping exploratory wells that result in the discovery of commercially recoverable reserves; (iii) the cost of drilling and equipping development wells, and (iv) the estimated asset retirement obligations (see Note 4.6.2). According to the successful efforts method of accounting, exploration costs (including geological and geophysical costs), excluding exploratory well costs, are expensed during the period in which they are incurred. Drilling costs of exploratory wells are capitalized until it is determined that proved reserves exists and they justify the commercial development. If reserves are not found, such drilling costs are expensed. Occasionally, an exploratory well may determine the existence of oil and gas reserves but they cannot be classified as proved when drilling is complete. In those cases, such costs continue to be capitalized insofar as the well has allowed determining the existence of sufficient reserves to warrant its completion as a production well and the Company is making sufficient progress in evaluating the economic and operating feasibility of the project. |
Impairment of non-financial long-lived assets | 4.9 Impairment of non-financial long-lived assets Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life and goodwill are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. The remaining non-financial long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (CGU). Non-financial long-lived assets, other than goodwill, that have been impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. |
Financial assets | 4.10 . Financial assets 4.10.1 Classification The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: (i) those that are subsequently measured at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss), and (ii) those that are subsequently measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics. Gains and losses from financial assets measured at fair value, will be recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income or in Statement of Other Comprehensive Income. Investments in equity instruments are measured at fair value. For those investments that are not held for trading, the Company may make an irrevocable election at initial recognition to present subsequent changes in other comprehensive income. The Company's election was to recognize changes in fair value through profit and loss. The company reclassifies financial assets when and only when it changes its business model for managing those financial assets. 4.10.2 Recognition The conventional purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, that is, the date on which the Company undertakes to purchase or sell the asset, or at settlement date. Financial assets are derecognized when contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets have expired or been transferred, and the Company has substantially transferred all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. 4.10.3 Measurement At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss and disclosed in “Changes in the fair value of financial instruments” within “Other financial Results. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognised or impaired and through the amortization process using the effective interest rate method. The Group subsequently measures equity investments at fair value. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as long as they represent a return on investment. 4.10.4 Impairment of financial assets The Company assesses the expected credit losses related to its financial instruments at amortized cost and financial instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, if applicable. The Company applies the simplified approach allowed by IFRS 9 to measure expected credit losses for trade receivables and other receivables with similar risk characteristics. For this purpose, receivables are grouped by business segment and based on shared credit risk characteristics and expected credit losses are determined based on rates calculated for different ranges of default days from the due date. The expected loss rates are based on the sales collection profiles over a period of 24 months before the end of each year, considering historical credit losses experienced within this period that are adjusted, if applicable, to reflect forward-looking information that could affect the ability of customers to settle the receivables. 4.10.5 Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount reported in the consolidated statements of financial position, when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
Trade and other receivables | 4.11 Trade and other receivables Trade receivables and other receivables are recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment, if applicable. The Company recognises provisions for impairment on trade and other receivables based on expected credit loss model described in Note 4.10.4. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company considers the following default indicators: i) voluntary reorganization proceedings, bankruptcy or initiation of judicial demands; ii) insolvency implying a high impossibility of collection and iii) past due balances greater than 90 days. Where applicable, allowances for doubtful tax credits have been recognized based on estimates on their uncollectibility within their statutory limitation period, taking into consideration the Company’s current business plans. |
Derivative financial instruments and hedging account | 4.12 Derivative financial instruments and hedging account Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, determined as the amount of cash to be collected or paid to settle the instrument as of the measurement date, net of any prepayment collected or paid. Fair value of derivative financial instruments traded in active markets is disclosed based on their quoted market prices and fair value of instruments that are not traded in active markets is determined using different valuation techniques. Subsequent accounting of changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Company may designate derivative financial instruments in the following categories: (i) fair value hedge of recognized assets or liabilities or over firm commitment (fair value hedge); (ii) cash flow hedges of a particular risk associated with recognized assets and liabilities and highly probable future transactions (cash flow hedges), or (iii) net investment hedge in foreign operation (net investment hedges). At the beginning of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the economic relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, even if it is expected that changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments offset changes in the cash flows of the hedged items. The Group documents its objective and risk management strategy to carry out its hedging operations. Changes in the measurement of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedge, which have been determined as effective, are recognized in equity. The gain or loss related to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Changes in the measurement of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in profit or loss. The Company has not formally designated financial instruments as hedging instruments. |
Inventories | 4.13 Inventories This line item includes crude oil stock, raw materials, work in progress and finished products relating to Petrochemicals and Oil and Gas business segments as well as materials and spare parts relating to the Generation business segment. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average price method. The cost of inventories includes expenditure incurred in purchases and production and other necessary costs to bring them to their existing location and condition. In case of manufactured products and production in process, the cost includes a portion of indirect production costs, excluding any idle capacity (slack). The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs to make the sale. The assessment of the recoverable value of these assets is made at each reporting date, and the resulting loss is recognized in the statement of income when the inventories are overstated. The Company has classified materials and spare parts into current and non-current, depending on the timing in which they are expected to be used for replacement or improvement on existing assets. The portion of materials and spare parts for maintenance or improvements on existing assets, is exposed under the heading “Property, plant and equipment”. |
Non-current assets (or disposal group) held for sale and discontinued operations | 4.14 Non-current assets (or disposal group) held for sale and discontinued operations Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights from insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset until fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. The gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset is recognised at the date of derecognition. Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortized while they be classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognized. Non-current assets classified group of assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the balance sheet. These assets and liabilities are not offset. If it is a discontinued operation, that is, an item which has been disposed of or classified as held for sale; and (i) it represents a significant business line or geographic area which may be considered separate from the rest; (ii) it is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a significant business line or operating geographic area which may be deemed separate from the rest; or (iii) it is a subsidiary entity acquired solely for the purpose of reselling it; a single amount is disclosed in the statement of comprehensive income, which shows results of discontinued operations, net of tax, including the result for the valuation at fair value less cost of sales or asset disposal costs, if applicable. |
Cash and cash equivalents | 4.15 Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. If any, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and there are not disclosed under Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows since they are not part of the Company’s cash management. |
Shareholder's equity | 4.16 Shareholder´s equity Equity’s movements have been accounted for in accordance with the pertinent decisions of shareholders' meetings and legal or regulatory standards. All equity accounts have been restated in terms of the measuring unit current as of December 31, 2018, with the exception of Share capital and Treasury shares, which represent the subscribed and paid in, and the outstanding treasury capital, respectively. The adjustment resulting from its restatement as of December 31, 2018 is disclosed in the Comprehensive share capital adjustment and Comprehensive treasury shares adjustment lines, respectively. As from the change in functional currency, on January 1, 2019 the Company discontinued the preparation and presentation of financial statements under IAS 29, and has considered equity figures expressed in terms of the measuring unit current as of December 31, 2018 as the basis for subsequent financial statements’ amounts. 4.16.1 Share capital Share capital represents the capital issued, composed of the contributions that were committed and/or made by the shareholders and represented by shares that comprise outstanding shares at nominal value. 4.16.2 Share premium It includes: (i) The portion of the collected price exceeding the face value of the shares issued by the Company, net of absorbed accumulated losses. (ii) The difference between the fair value of the consideration paid/collected and the accounting value of the equity interest in the subsidiary acquired/sold/diluted which does not represent a loss of control or significant influence. (iii) The difference between the proportional equity value registered before the merger of subsidiary and the value resulting from applying to the subsidiary’s merged equity interest, the new ownership share resulting from the exchange relationship. 4.16.3 Legal reserve In accordance with the Argentine Commercial Companies General Law, 5% of the profit arising from the statement of income for the year, prior years' adjustments, the translation differences which are directly accumulated in Retained earnings (see Note 4.3.4), the amounts transferred from other comprehensive income and prior years' accumulated losses, must be appropriated to a legal reserve until such reserve equals 20% of the Company’s share capital, the related adjustment of share capital. When for any reason, the amount of this reserve will be shorter, dividends may not be distributed, until such amount is reached. 4.16.4 Voluntary reserve This reserve results from an allocation made by the Shareholders’ Meeting, whereby a specific amount is set aside to cover for the funding needs of projects and situations associated with Company policies. 4.16.5 Other reserves It includes the result of operations with non-controlling interest that do not result in a loss of control and reserves for stock compensation plans. 4.16.6 Retained earnings (Accumulated losses) Retained earnings comprise accumulated profits or losses without a specific appropriation; positive earnings can be distributable by the decision of the Shareholders' meeting, as long as they are not subject to legal restrictions. These earnings comprise prior years' earnings that were not distributed, translation differences which are directly accumulated in retained earnings pursuant to the policy described in Note 4.3.4, the amounts transferred from other comprehensive income and prior years' adjustments, according to IFRS. General Resolution No. 593/11 issued by the CNV provided that Shareholders in the Meetings at which they should decide upon the approval of financial statements in which the Retained earnings account has a positive balance, should adopt an express resolution as to the allocation of such balance, whether to dividend distribution, capitalization, setting up of reserves or a combination of these. The Company’s Shareholders have complied with these requirements. 4.16.7 Other comprehensive income It includes gains and losses from the remeasurement process of foreign operations and the translation differences which are not classified and directly accumulated in retained earnings pursuant to the policy described in Note 4.3.4 and actuarial gains and losses for defined benefit plans and the related tax effect. 4.16.8 Dividends distribution Dividend distribution to Company shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the year in which the dividends are approved by the Shareholders' Meeting. The distribution of dividends is made based on the Company’s Stand-Alone Financial Statements. |
Compensation plans | 4.17 Compensation plans The following guidelines under IFRS 2 have been taken into consideration for the registration of stock-based compensations: 4.17.1 Compensations payable in cash: (i) Compensation Agreements – Senior Management: fixed compensation and annual, variable and contingent long-term compensation established based on the Company’s annual market value appreciation, with a payment cap over the Company’s adjusted operating income, approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on June 2, 2017 with the purpose of efficiently aligning the senior management’s interests with those of the Company and its shareholders. With the purpose of avoiding duplication, any analogous compensation paid to senior managers by any of the Company’s subsidiaries will be deducted from the compensation amount in proportion to the Company’s interests in such subsidiaries. The reasonable value of the received services is measured through a share appreciation estimate using the Black-Scholes-Merton financial valuation model. The fair value of the amount payable is accrued and acknowledged as an expense, with the corresponding increase in liabilities. Liabilities are revalued on each balance sheet date. Any change in the fair value of liabilities is disclosed under profit or loss. (ii) Annual Variable Compensation granted to certain officers for the performance of technical and administrative duties amounting to 7% and 4% of the EBDA accrued until November 2020 and from December 2020, respectively (EBITDA less paid income tax, less total net financial costs, less interest on its own capital, considering an annual 10% dollar-denominated rate) of PEPASA´s continuing business in Pampa. The Company recognizes a provision (liability) and an expense for this EBDA Compensation based on the previously mentioned formula. 4.17.2 Compensations payable in shares Stock Compensation Plan – Officers and other key staff: a certain number of Company shares receivable within the term stipulated in the program to encourage the alignment of the employees’ performance with the Company’s strategy and to generate a clear and direct link between the creation of value for shareholders and the employees’ compensation; it was approved by the Board of Directors and the Shareholders’ Meeting on February 8 and April 7, 2017, respectively. Furthermore, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the market acquisition of own shares as a means of implementing the Plan (see Note 13.1.1). The number of shares is calculated as from a percentage over the total annual remuneration, plus the bonus assigned to each covered employee, divided by the weighted average price, in pesos, of the Company’s share and ADR for the same period; with one-third vesting each year, which will be awarded together with the payroll for April of the year following the vesting date, with the requirement that the employment relationship continues at least until each vesting date. The fair value of the received services is measured at the fair value of the shares at the time of granting and is disclosed during the vesting period, together with the corresponding increase in equity. |
Trade payables and other payables | 4.18 Trade payables and other payables Trade payables and other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. |
Borrowings | 4.19 Borrowings Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, using the effective interest method. Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. 4.19.1 Borrowing costs General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. |
Employee benefits | 4.20 Employee benefits 4.20.1 Short-term obligations Payroll liabilities, including non-monetary benefits and accumulated sick leave expected to be settled in full within 12 months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees provide the associated service are recognized for the amount expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are disclosed as Salaries and social security payable in the consolidated statement of financial position. 4.20.2 Defined benefit plans Labor costs liabilities are accrued in the periods in which the employees provide the services that trigger the consideration. Additionally, the Company operates several defined benefit plans. Defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, depending on one or more factors, such as age, years of service and compensation. In accordance with conditions established in each plan, the benefit may consist in a single payment, or in making complementary payments to those made by the pension system. The defined benefit liability recognized in the financial statement balance sheet, at the end of the reporting period, is the present value of the defined benefit obligation net of the fair value of the plan assets, when applicable. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using future actuarial assumptions about demographic and financial variables that affect the determination of the amount of such benefits. Actuarial gains and losses from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions, are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which they arise and past service costs are recognized immediately in the statement of income (loss). |
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets | 4.21 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets Provisions are recognized when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle that obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the present obligation, taking into account the best available information as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements based on assumptions and methods considered appropriate and taking into account the opinion of Company’s legal advisors. As additional information becomes available to the Company, estimates are revised and adjusted periodically. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as other financial results. Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity; or present obligations that arise from past events but it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to its settlement; or whose amount cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. Contingent liabilities are not recognised. The Company discloses in notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements a brief description of the nature of material contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities, whose possibility of any outflow in settlement is remote, are not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee is disclosed. Contingent assets are possible assets that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. Contingent assets are no recognised. The Company discloses in notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements a brief description of the nature of material contingent assets, where the related inflows of economic benefits are estimated to be probable. |
Revenue from contracts with customers | 4.22 Revenue from contracts with customers 4.22.1 Generation segment 4.22.1.1 Revenues from sales to the spot market (SE Resolution N°31/20) The Company recognizes revenues from i) power availability on a monthly basis as the different power plants are available to generate; ii) power generated in those hours of maximum technical requirement of the month; and iii) energy generated and operated when the delivery of energy is effective, based on the price applicable depending on the technology of each plant and, in the case of thermal power plants, the application of the coefficient derived from the average usage factor over the last 12 months on the power capacity remuneration specified in the Resolution. Revenues are not adjusted for the effect of financing components as sales are made with an average credit term of 45 days, which is consistent with market practice. 4.22.1.2 Revenues from supply agreements with CAMMESA (SE Resolution No. 220/07, SEE Resolution No. 21/16, SEE Resolution No. 287/17 and Renovar Programs) The Company recognizes revenues from supply contracts with CAMMESA for i) power availability, when applicable, on a monthly basis, as the different power plants are available to generate and ii) energy generated when the delivery of energy is effective, based on the price established in each contract. Revenues are not adjusted for the effect of financing components as sales are made with an average credit term of 45 days, which is consistent with market practice. 4.22.1.3 The Company recognizes revenues from energy plus sales and renewable energy when the delivery of energy is effective based on the price established in each contract. Revenues are not adjusted for the effect of financing components as sales are made with an average credit term of 30 days, which is consistent with market practice. 4.22.2 Oil and gas segment The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of oil and gas, to third parties and intersegment, when control of the product is transferred, that is, at the output of each area, when the oil and gas is delivered to the carrier and to the extent there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the acceptance of the product by the client. In all cases the transport of the gas is in charge of the client. Revenues from these sales are recognized based on the price by product specified in each contract or agreement to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Revenues are not adjusted for the effect of financing components as sales are made with an average credit term not exceeding 45 days, which is consistent with market practice. 4.22.3 Petrochemical segment The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of petrochemical products, whether in local or foreign market, when the control of the product is transferred, that is, when the products are delivered to the client and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the acceptance of the product by the client. The delivery, as established in each contract, is occurs: (a) when the products are dispatched and transported by and in charge of the client, or, (b) when the products have been dispatched by the Company to a specific location, the obsolescence risks and loss have been transferred to the client, and the client has accepted the products according to the sale contract, the acceptance provisions have expired, or when the Company has objective evidence that all acceptance criteria have been met. Revenues from these sales are recognized based on the price specified in each contract, to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Revenues are not adjusted for the effect of financing components as sales are made with an average credit term not exceeding 24 days, which is consistent with market practice. 4.22.4 Holding and others segment The Company recognizes revenues from contracts with customers in relation to advisory services to related companies as services are rendered based on the price established in each agreement. Revenues are not adjusted for the effect of financing components, as sales are made with an average credit term of 30 days, which is consistent with market practice. |
Other Income | 4.23 Other Income 4.23.1 Government grants Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. The group did not benefit directly from any other forms of government assistance. The Company recognizes revenues from natural gas production promotion or stimulus programs upon the actual delivery of gas and in accordance with the price established in the applicable regulation, only inasmuch as it is highly probable that there will be no significant reversal and the consideration is likely to be received, that is, to the extent that the procedure defined by the Government is formally complied with. The recognition of revenues associated with the Argentine Natural Gas Production Promotion Plan (see Note 2.4.3.1.2) falls within the scope of IAS 20 as it involves a compensation as a result of the maintenance or increase in the committed production volume. Revenues from natural gas production or stimulus programs are disclosed under Other operating income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Furthermore, the fiscal costs of the above-mentioned programs are disclosed under Other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. 4.23.2 Interest income Interest income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is included into the result of changes in the fair value of those assets. Interest income from financial assets at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in the statement of income. Interest income is calculated by using the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset (without considering impairment provision), except for impaired financial assets, that is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to carrying amount net of impairment provision. Commercial interest corresponding to late payment surcharges in the cancellation of sales receivables is disclosed under Other operating income as it provides relevant information on the business’ operations and operating flows. 4.23.3 Dividends Dividends are received from financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss or through other comprehensive income. Dividends are recognized as revenue when the right to receive payment has been established. This applies even if they are paid out of pre-acquisition profits. |
Income tax | 4.24 Income tax The tax expenses for the year include current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they come from the initial recognition of goodwill; or if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available and can be used against temporary differences. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred assets or liabilities are recognized on account of gains or losses from fiscal tax inflation which, pursuant to Law No. 27,541, are deferred and accounted for in subsequent fiscal periods (see Note 2.6.1.5). Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities have not been discounted, and are stated at their nominal value. Income tax rates prevailing at year-end in Argentina (see Note 2.6.1), Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and Uruguay are 30%, 50%, 25%, 25% and 25%, respectively. Additionally, a 3% surcharge is added to Ecuador’s income tax when the company’s shareholder residing in Ecuador is an entity established in a jurisdiction considered a tax haven under Ecuadorian laws. In Bolivia, payment of Bolivian-source income to beneficiaries outside Bolivia is levied with a 12.5% withholding income tax. Furthermore, and pursuant to the last tax reform passed in Ecuador and effective as from January 1, 2020, dividends distributed to foreign shareholders will be subject to a 10% withholding. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Finally, receivables have been disclosed on account of the application of the minimum presumed income tax prior to its abrogation as from January 1, 2019, which are computable as an advance payment of income tax in any of the following ten years. The Company’s management evaluates the recoverability of the recorded receivables at the closing of each fiscal year, and allowances are created in as long as it is estimated that the computable amounts will not be recoverable within the statutory limitation period taking into consideration the Company’s current business plans. |
Leases | 4.25 Leases In leases where the Company is a lessee (Note 18.1), a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized on the date on which the underlying asset is available for use by the Company. At the commencement date the lease liability is measured at the present value of the payments that are not paid at that date, including: - fixed payments, less any lease incentive receivable - variable lease payments depending on an index or rate - amounts that the Company expects to pay under residual value guarantee - exercise price of a purchase option (if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option), and - penalty payments for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising that option. Lease payments are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, security and conditions, the funds necessary to acquire an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment, or by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. The lease liability is disclosed in “Lease liability” under “Trade and other payables”. Each lease payment is apportioned between the principal and the financial cost. The financial cost is charged to income over the term of the lease to produce a constant periodic interest rate on the remaining liability balance for each period. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, which comprises: - the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability - any lease payment made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentive received - any initial direct cost, and - an estimate of costs to be incurred for decommissioning or restoring the underlying asset pursuant to the terms and conditions of the lease Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the asset’s useful life or, if shorter, during the lease term. The Company recognizes lease payments associated with short-term leases (up to 12 months) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (IT equipment and office supplies) as an expense using the straight-line method over the lease term. Leases in which the Company, as a lessor, has transferred all risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset are classified as financial leases (Note 18.2). Financial leases are recognized at the commencement date at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments to be received. The corresponding lease rights, net of financial charges, are included in “Trade and other receivables”. Each lease payment received is allocated between income receivable and financial income. Financial income is recognized as a profit or a loss over the term of the lease to produce a constant periodic interest rate on the remaining liability balance for each period. Property under financial leases is derecognized if there is reasonable certainty that the Company will transfer its ownership at the end of the lease term. |
