Pampa Energia Announces First Quarter 2025 Results

By ACCESSWIRE | May 12, 2025, 6:10 PM

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2025 / Pampa Energía S.A. (NYSE: PAM)(Buenos Aires Stock Exchange:PAMP), an independent company with active participation in Argentine oil, gas and electricity, announces the results for the quarter ended on March 31, 2025.

Pampa's financial information is reported in US$, its functional currency. For local currency equivalents, transactional exchange rate (‘FX') are applied. However, Transener and Transportadora de Gas del Sur's (‘TGS') figures are inflation-adjusted as of March 31, 2025, and are converted to US$ at the period-end FX. Previously reported figures remained unchanged.

First quarter 2025 (‘Q1 25') main results1

Sales rose 3% year-on-year to US$414 million in Q1 252, driven by higher spot energy prices, the contribution from the newly commissioned Parque Eólico Pampa Energía 6 (‘PEPE 6'), and greater deliveries under Plan Gas, partially offset by lower petrochemical reformer volumes and softer gas sales to industries and Chile.

Strong thermal availability and solid wind generation in Q1 25:

Adjusted EBITDA3 reached US$220 million in Q1 25, up 17% from Q1 24, mainly explained by spot energy and PEPE 6 in the power generation, along with higher Plan gas volumes and tariff increases in TGS and Transener, partially offset by higher operating costs, lower gas sales to industries and Chile, and reduced production in petrochemicals.

US$153 million net profit to the Company's shareholders, 43% lower than in Q1 24 due to a smaller recovery from non-cash deferred income tax and increasing operating costs, offset by higher sales and positive net financial results.

Net debt stood at US$577 million, mainly reflecting increased working capital requirements and continued investment in the Rincón de Aranda development.

1 The information is based on financial statements (‘FS') prepared according to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS') in force in Argentina.

2 Sales from the affiliates CTBSA, Transener and TGS are excluded, shown as ‘Results for participation in joint businesses and associates.'

3 Consolidated adjusted EBITDA represents the flows before financial items, income tax, depreciations and amortizations, extraordinary and non-cash income and expense, equity income, and includes affiliates' EBITDA at our ownership. Further information on section 3.1.
