Report on the consolidated condensed interim financial statements
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements of Pampa Energía S.A. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter "the Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2024, of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, and selected explanatory notes.
Board's responsibility
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and therefore is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the consolidated condensed interim financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (IAS 34).
Scope of the review
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated condensed interim financial statements based on our review, which was performed in accordance with the International Standards on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the entity, adopted as a review standard in Argentina by Technical Pronouncement No. 33 of the FACPCE and approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). A review of consolidated condensed interim Financial Statements consists of inquiries primarily of Company staff responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. This review is substantially less in scope than an audit examination conducted in accordance with international standards on auditing and consequently it does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

NOTE 2: (Continuation)
2.2.1 Hydrocarbons Regime
Act No. 27,742 introduces amendments to Act No. 17,319, “Hydrocarbons”, aiming mainly to maximize income from the resources’ exploitation, especially:
| - | it sets commercialization prices in the domestic market without the PEN’s intervention; |
| - | it provides for the free international trade of hydrocarbons, in the absence of objections by the SE; |
| - | it rules out the possibility of requesting extensions to the exploitation concessions and requires a new call for tenders for awarding existing concessions at least one year before their expiration; |
| - | it eliminates the concessionaire’s obligation to ensure the maximum production of hydrocarbons by observing criteria guaranteeing a proper preservation of reserves; |
| - | the PEN or the Province may grant licenses to process hydrocarbons and their derivatives, and build and operate conditioning plants, hydrocarbon separation plants, natural gas liquefaction plants and other necessary facilities and accessories, without them being necessarily linked to an exploitation concession; |
| - | it incorporates Standard Tender Specifications prepared by the provincial Enforcement Authorities and the SE as a basis for new calls; tenderers will compete on the value of the royalty over a 15% base value; |
| - | it establishes levy values payable in each stage taking as a reference the average oil barrel price, annually adjustable based on the Brent benchmark; |
| - | it admits applications for the reconversion of conventional into unconventional concessions only until December 31, 2028, with a one-time term of 35 years as from the reconversion application date; |
| - | it replaces transportation concessions with transportation authorizations; |
| - | the PEN may grant an authorization for the underground storage of natural gas in depleted natural hydrocarbon reservoirs; these authorizations will not be time-bound or subject to the payment of exploitation bonds; the stored gas will only pay royalties at the time of its first commercialization. |

2.2.2 Gas market
Accession to Plan GasAr’s payment cancellation scheme
On June 19, 2024, the Company opted into the payment cancellation scheme established in Note NO-2024-54277417- APN-SE#MEC for the cancellation of compensations under Plan GasAr. Consequently, it accepted (i) the provisional payment for the periods due February and March 2024, in cash, and (ii) the provisional payment for the periods due up to and including January 2024, and the adjusted payment for the periods due up to and including November 2023, through the delivery of government securities (BONO USD 2038 L.A.). As of June 30, 2024, both items were pending collection, and the Company recorded a $ 1,750 million (US$ 1.9 million) impairment under the related receivables, considering the market value of the instruments maturing in 2038 to be received under the described cancellation methodology.
Natural Gas Exports
In June 2024, Pampa was granted permits to export gas to Chile on an interruptible basis for a volume of 2 million m3/day from June 26, 2024 to May 1, 2025.
Transitional increase in natural gas transportation tariffs
On March 26, 2024, TGS entered into the 2024 transitional agreement (“RTT24”) with ENARGAS, which establishes a transitory 675% update in natural gas transportation tariffs. This tariff increase entered into effect on April 3, 2024, following the publication of ENARGAS Resolution No. 112/24 in the BO. Under this Resolution, as from May 2024 and until the completion of the Comprehensive Tariff Review (“RTI”), tariffs will be adjusted monthly by the transitory update index, which is composed of: (i) 47% by the wage index - registered private sector published by INDEC, (ii) 27.2% by the IPIM, and (iii) 25.8% by the construction cost index in Greater Buenos Aires - materials chapter, published by INDEC. To such effect, ENARGAS would monthly issue the corresponding resolution adjusting the applicable tariff schemes.
However, on May 9 and June 5, 2024, ENARGAS informed the licensees of the natural gas transportation and distribution utility of the postponement of the above-mentioned monthly tariff adjustment for the months of May and June 2024. Furthermore, it communicated the replacement of the monthly update methodology for the months of July to December 2024. According to ENARGAS’ notification, the monthly tariff update will be based on the expected inflation to be estimated by the Ministry of Economy for such period, and the difference between the actual and estimated inflation will be considered in the determination of the tariff resulting from the RTI process.

NOTE 2: (Continuation)
On July 1, ENARGAS newly informed TGS of the postponement of the monthly tariff update, this time for the month of July, maintaining tariff schemes in force as from April 3, 2024.
Subsequently, on August 1, 2024, ENARGAS issued Resolution No. 411/24 establishing the new transitional tariff scheme effective as from the following day, contemplating a 4% increase over the then-current tariffs.
Besides, ENARGAS Resolution No. 112/24 establishes that during 2024, TGS must execute an investment plan in the amount of $ 27,690 million (adjustable by the transitional update index). As of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, TGS has submitted this investment plan, which is currently under execution.
License extension application
On June 19, 2024, ENARGAS issued a technical and legal report indicating that TGS has amply complied with its obligations under the License. Based on this report and after a non-binding public hearing as required by Section 6 of the Natural Gas Act, the ENARGAS comptroller may submit a recommendation to the PEN, which in turn may, within a 120-day term, issue an executive order granting a 20-year License extension.
Tariff situation
Pursuant to ENRE Resolutions No. 104/24 and 105/24, the hourly remuneration values effective as from February 19, 2024 (date of publication in the BO) were determined, establishing a 179.7% and 191.1% update against the values in force as from November 2023 for Transener S.A. and Transba S.A., respectively. Moreover, a tariff update was determined according to a formula based on wage, wholesale and consumer price indexes, to be applied on a monthly basis as from May 2024.
However, by instruction of the Ministry of Economy to the SE, on May 9 and 11, 2024 the ENRE informed Transener S.A. and Transba S.A. of the suspension of the tariff update planned for the months of May and June 2024; additionally, the monthly update mechanism was modified as from July 2024 by a formula based on the inflation projected for the July-December 2024 semester. Both companies emphatically rejected these measures due to the significant impact on the income necessary to render the service, the uncertainty on the methodology and the lack of definition on the source of the indexes involved, and requested the ENRE to take all the necessary measures to restore income as per the provisions of ENRE Resolutions No. 104/24 and No. 105/24.
On July 2, 2024, by instruction of the Ministry of Economy and the SE, the ENRE newly informed the suspension of the monthly update planned for July 2024 according to the new scheme. This measure was also rejected by Transener S.A. and Transba S.A., which once again requested the ENRE to regularize the update of their income as early as possible.

NOTE 2: (Continuation)
Later, ENRE Resolutions No. 512/24 and No. 513/24 determined the hourly remuneration values effective as from August 1, 2024, establishing a 6% increase on the values in force as from February 19, 2024 for Transener S.A. and Transba S.A..
Moreover, on April 15, 2024, ENRE Resolution No. 223/24 approved the “Program for the electricity transmission tariff review in 2024”, which set the criteria and methodology for the comprehensive tariff review process to be taken into consideration by transmission companies when submitting their tariff proposal applicable as from January 1, 2025.
In this sense, the ENRE has issued a note formally requesting the submission of the necessary information to determine the capital base and evaluate the costs and the investment plan. The information on the capital base, historical costs, property, plant and equipment, the status of easements and existing facilities was submitted to the ENRE in due time and form before May 17, 2024, whereas the projected information on costs, investments and intended annual remuneration must be sent to the ENRE by September 14, 2024.
Pursuant to SE Resolution 34/24, which modified CAMMESA payment order by giving priority to payments to electricity transmission companies over power generators (see Note 2.1.3), as of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, Transener S.A. has disclosed no delays in the collection of its remuneration.
2.5 Tax regulations
Act No. 27,742 creates the Large Investments’ Incentive Regime (“RIGI”), which grants tax, customs and foreign exchange benefits for projects involving investments in long-term assets for more than US$ 200 million aiming to encourage major domestic and foreign investments, promote the competitiveness of economic sectors, generate predictability and certainty conditions, increase goods and services exports, advance job creation and further the development of local production chains.
Additionally, Act No. 27,743, “Palliative and Relevant Tax Measures Act”, enacted on July 8, 2024, establishes an Exceptional Tax, Customs and Social Security Obligations Regularization Regime for obligations due as of March 31, 2024, establishing the reduction of compensatory interest depending on the time and form of adhesion, the total remission of fines and the discharge of criminal penalties that may apply to such obligations.
Likewise, modifications are introduced in the fourth category of the income tax and the personal property tax, and an Asset Regularization Regime is created for individuals, undivided estates and corporations.

The evolution of investments in associates and joint ventures is as follows:
| | 06.30.2024 | | 06.30.2023 |
At the beginning of the year | | 542,978 | | 159,833 |
Dividends | | (6,955) | | - |

Exchange differences on translation | | 284,214 | | 77,476 |
At the end of the period | | 824,581 | | 240,004 |
On January 16, 2024, the Company, through PEB, closed the transaction for the acquisition of 2,979,606,613 additional shares, representing a 29.66% stake in OCP, for a price of US$ 15 million under the purchase and sale agreement entered into with Repsol OCP de Ecuador S.A. on May 4, 2023. The closing of the transaction implied the recognition of profits for US$ 5 million under IAS 28.
As of the closing of the transaction, the Company, through PEB, has reached a 63.74% stake in OCP’s capital stock and obtained joint control, pursuant to the commitment to amend the shareholders’ agreement dated January 9, 2024 entered into with PetroOriental OCP Holdings Ltd.
Besides, OCP declared dividends for US$ 13.3 million on January 18, 2024, and repurchased a total of 5,740,902,124 own shares on January 22, 2024, for a unit price of US$ 0.01. Consequently, on January 22, 2024, the Company, through PEB, collected dividends in the amount of US$ 8.5 million and on January 29, 2024, US$ 36.6 million for share repurchases.
It is worth highlighting that on March 23, 2024, a force majeure event occurred due to unpredictable ground conditions that caused an axial compression and rupture of the pipeline at KP136+404. OCPSA immediately activated the pipeline contingency plan and resumed the crude oil transportation service on March 26, 2024.
Additionally, on June 17, 2024, OCPSA declared a force majeure event due to potential damage to the pipeline infrastructure at KP 102+700 as a result of heavy rains in Ecuador, which significantly accelerated the erosion of the Quijos River. Consequently, OCPSA suspended operations and closed the valves as a preventive measure. On June 18, 2024, the pipeline inspection team reported increased erosion between KP 99+700 and KP 100+400, and OCPSA immediately developed an action plan to carry out tasks for draining the crude oil from the pipeline and emergently build 2.8 km of pipeline in KP 99 and 102, which allowed to move away from the river’s erosive process, and operations were resumed on July 3, 2024.

NOTE 5: (Continuation)
Concession termination
On January 19, 2024, the Ministry of Energy and Mines of Ecuador and OCP SA entered into an addendum to the Authorization Contract to extend the concession term until July 31, 2024. Subsequently, on July 29, 2024, under a Resolution by the Ministry of Energy and Mines of Ecuador and in accordance with the Authorization Contract, the concession term was extended until August 19, 2024 due to the occurrence of force majeure events in March and June 2024 that resulted in the suspension of OCPSA’s operations.
Contingent liabilities in OCPSA
The constitutional protection action filed by the decentralized autonomous government of Orellana against OCPSA, Petroecuador and others due to the force majeure event caused by the rupture of the oil pipeline in 2020 was disallowed in the first instance; as the plaintiff appealed the resolution, the proceeding will be sent back to the Provincial Court of Justice of Orellana.
On the other hand, the constitutional protection action filed by residents of Puerto Madero against OCPSA, the Presidency of the Republic of Ecuador and Petroecuador was accepted; however, OCPSA, Petroecuador and the Presidency of the Republic appealed the resolution, so the proceeding will be referred back to the Provincial Court of Justice of Sucumbíos.
Impairment of non-financial assets
During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, CTB has identified significant changes in the environment where it operates and, consequently, has determined CTEB’s recoverable amount as of June 30, 2024.
The recoverability assessment resulted in the recognition of impairment losses in CTB with a $ 65,010 million (US$ 71 million) impact on the Company’s share of profits from associates and joint ventures for the period.

NOTE 6: RISKS
6.1 Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of these Consolidated Condensed Interim 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, and income and expenses.
Those estimates and 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 Condensed Interim Financial Statements.
In the preparation of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, management judgements on applying the Company’s accounting policies and sources of information used for the respective estimates are the same as those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company regularly monitors the existence of events or changes in circumstances that may indicate that its non-financial assets’ book value may not be recoverable.
In the Power Generation segment, during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company has identified significant changes in the environment in which it operates and, therefore, has determined the recoverable amount of the CGUs comprising this segment as of June 30, 2024.
The methodology used in estimating the recoverable amount consisted of calculating the value in use of each CGU based on the present value of future net cash flows expected to be derived from each CGU, discounted at a rate reflecting the weighted average cost of capital used.
Cash flows were prepared based on estimates of the future behavior of key assumptions for the determination of the value in use, including the following: (i) the spot remuneration price evolution; (ii) energy dispatch projections; (iii) costs evolution; (iv) macroeconomic variables such as inflation and exchange rates, among others; and (v) an 11.74% after-tax WACC.
The Company has not recorded impairment losses as a result of the recoverability assessment.
6.2 Financial risk management
The Company’s activities are subject to several financial risks: market risk (including the exchange rate risk, the interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
No significant changes have arisen in risk management policies since last fiscal year.

NOTE 12: (Continuation)
The techniques used for the measurement of assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, classified as Level 2 and 3, are detailed below:
| - | Derivative Financial Instruments: calculated from variations between market prices at the closing date of the period, and the amount at the time of the contract. |
| - | Shares: it was determined using the income-based approach through the “Indirect Cash Flow” method, that is, the net present value of expected future cash flows, through the collection of dividends taking into consideration the direct 2.84% and 3.19% stakes and the 2.18% and 2.46% additional stakes through HIDISA and HINISA, in TJSM and TMB, respectively and a 17.7% discount rate. The used projections were prepared based on estimates on the future behavior of certain sensitive variables, including: (i) the dividend distribution policy; (ii) reference prices for energy sold in the spot market; (iii) projections on the power plants’ availability and dispatch; (iv) the evolution of structural costs and expenses; and (v) macroeconomic variables such as inflation and exchange rates, etc. |

NOTE 13: (Continuation)
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the result attributable to the Company’s equity holders by the weighted average of outstanding common shares during the year. 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, and 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 earning per share equal to the basic. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company does not hold any significant potential dilutive shares, therefore there are no differences with the basic earnings per share.
