Pampa Energía Announces Fiscal Year and Fourth Quarter 2024 Results

ECONOMY 05.03.2025

BUENOS AIRES, AR / ACCESS Newswire / March 5, 2025 / Pampa Energía S.A. (NYSE:PAM)(Buenos Aires Stock Exchange:PAMP), an independent company with active participation in the Argentine electricity and gas value chain, announces the results for the fiscal year and quarter ended on December 31, 2024.

Text size:

Pampa's financial information adopts US$ as functional currency, converted into AR$ at transactional exchange rate ('FX'). However, Transener and TGS's adjust their figures for inflation as of December 31, 2024, which are expressed in US$ at the period's closing FX. The previously reported figures remain unchanged.

Fourth quarter 2024 ('Q4 24') main results^[1]

20% year-on-year sales increase, reaching US$435 million in Q4 24^[2], driven by higher gas demand for power generation and crude oil volumes sold, as well as improved operating performance at Power Purchase Agreements ('PPA') units, Parque Eólico Pampa Energía 6 ('PEPE 6') and the reformer. These effects were partially offset by lower gas sales to industries and Chile, and petchem prices.

During Q4 24, gas production and thermal availability stood out:

Pampa's main operational KPIs		Q4 24	Q4 23	Variation
Oil and gas	Production (k boe/day)	61.6	56.4	+9%
Gas over total production	94%	92%	+2%
Average gas price (US$/MBTU)	2.9	3.2	-10%
Average oil price (US$/bbl)	67.6	68.9	-2%
Power	Generation (GWh)	4,797	5,017	-4%
Gross margin (US$/MWh)	22.8	21.0	+9%
Petrochemicals	Volume sold (k ton)	121	94	+29%
Average price (US$/ton)	1,017	1,264	-20%

Adjusted EBITDA^[3] was US$182 million in Q4 24, up 60% from Q4 23, mainly explained by tariff increases and AR$ real appreciation in Transportadora de Gas del Sur ('TGS') and Transener, higher deliveries under Plan Gas and the contributions from PEPE 6 and PPAs, offset by higher operating and development costs, along with lower gains from export settlements at a differential FX.

US$106 million profit to the Company's shareholders vs. a US$155 million loss in Q4 23 due to lower non-cash deferred income tax and higher sales and equity income from affiliates, offset by increased operating costs and lower gains from holding financial securities.

Net debt continued to decline, closing at US$410 million, the lowest amount and ratio since 2016, explained by the strong operating cash flows from core businesses and improved days sales outstanding.
