The Group is also engaged in the natural gas distribution public sector service in the Cuyo and Centro regions in Argentina, through its equity investees belonging to ECOGAS Group. On July 19, 2018, the National Gas Regulation Entity (Enargas) filed the Company with the Registry of Traders and Trade Agreements of Enargas.

Also, through Proener S.A.U., a company fully controlled by CPSA, the Group is engaged in the forest activity since Proener S.A.U. is the parent company of: a) Forestal Argentina S.A. and Loma Alta Forestal S.A.; such companies own forestry assets which consist of 72,000 hectares approximately in Entre Ríos and Corrientes provinces, in which 43,000 hectares approximately are planted with eucalyptus and pine tree, and b) Empresas Verdes Argentina S.A., Las Misiones S.A. and Estancia Celina S.A.; such companies own forest assets that are made of approximately 89,431 hectares in Corrientes province, from which 27,300 are planted with pine tree (over a total 36,900 hectares plantable area).

Finally, the Group has begun to participate in the mining sector through an interest in the Diablillos silver and gold mining project located in northwestern Argentina (see Note 11.1).

The issuance of Group’s consolidated financial statements of the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 8, 2024.

1.1. Overview of Argentine Electricity Market

Transactions among different participants in the electricity industry take place through the wholesale electricity market (“WEM”) which is a market in which generators, distributors and certain large users of electricity buy and sell electricity at prices determined by supply and demand (“Term market”) and also, where prices are established on an hourly basis based on the economic production cost, represented by the short term marginal cost measured at the system’s load center (“Spot market”). CAMMESA (Compañía Administradora del Mercado Mayorista Eléctrico Sociedad Anónima) is a quasi-government organization that was established to administer the WEM and functions as a clearing house for the different market participants operating in the WEM. Its main functions include the operation of the WEM and dispatch of generation and price calculation in the Spot market, the real-time operation of the electricity system and the administration of the commercial transactions in the electricity market.

After the Argentine economic crisis in 2001 and 2002 and the Convertibility Law, the costs of generators increased as a result of the Argentine peso devaluation. In addition, the price of fuel for their generation increased as well. The increasing generation costs combined with the freezing of rates for the final user decided at the time by National Government led to a permanent deficit in CAMMESA accounts, which faced difficulties to pay the energy purchases to generators. Due to this structural deficit, the Secretariat of Energy issued a series of regulations to keep the electricity market working despite the deficit.

1.2. Amendments to WEM regulations

a) Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 574/2023, 2/2024, 33/2024 and 78/2024

On July 11, 2023, Resolution No. 574/2023 was published, which extended for 60 days (with the possibility of being extended for 60 days more) the termination date for the Concession Agreement of the Hydroelectric Power Station Piedra del Águila, among other Argentine Hydroelectric Power Stations, whose concession term ends during 2023.

On January 17, 2024, through Resolution No. 2/2024, published in the Official Gazette, the transition period of the concession agreement was extended for 60 days as from February 28, 2024. Then, through Resolution No. 33/2024, published in the Official Gazette on March 18, 2024, the termination term of the concession agreement was extended again for 60 days as from April 28, 2024, so that such term expires on June 27, 2024.

Finally, on May 17, 2024, through Resolution No. 78/2024, the transition period of the concession contract was extended until the end of the term established in the contract, that is, December 28, 2024.

b) Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 9/2024, 99/2024 and 193/2024

On February 8, 2024, Resolution No. 9/2024 (“Resolution 9”) of the Secretariat of Energy was published in the Official Gazette. This Resolution updated the power and energy remuneration values of the generation not committed under contracts. In addition, Exhibits I to IV of Resolution 869 were replaced and a 74% increase as from February 1, 2024 was established.

On June 14, 2024, Resolution No. 99/2024 issued by the Secretariat of Energy was published in the Official Gazette, through which the power and energy remuneration values of the generation not committed under contracts were updated. Such resolution replaces Exhibits I to V of Resolution No. 9/2024 and establishes a 25% increase as from June 1, 2024.

After the closing of the period, on August 2, 2024, Resolution No. 193/2024 issued by the Secretariat of Energy was published in the Official Gazette, through which the power and energy remuneration values of the generation not committed under contracts were updated. Such resolution replaces Exhibits I to V of Resolution No. 99/2024 and establishes a 3% increase as from August 1, 2024.

c) Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 58/2024 and 66/2024

On May 8, 2024, Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 58/2024 as amended by Resolution No. 66/2024 was published in the Official Gazette (the “Resolution”) whereby an exceptional, temporary, and unique payment regime was established for MEM transactions for December 2023, and January and February 2024. Such Resolution (i) orders CAMMESA to prepare and determine the amounts of the credit for the economic transactions with each of MEM Creditor Agents in a term of 5 (five) working days as from the entering into force of the Resolution; (ii) establishes that the lack of agreement regarding such amounts authorizes the Creditor Agents to resort to the corresponding judicial, administrative and/or out-of-court means; (iii) and establishes that once the amounts are determined and the corresponding agreements entered into, CAMMESA shall pay the transactions as follows: a) the settlement for the transactions for December 2023 and January 2024 shall be paid 10 (ten) working days counted as from the date of individual agreements through the delivery of bond AE38 USD; the calculation of nominal amounts to be delivered per each bond shall be at the reference exchange rate (Communication “A” 3500) at the quote in force at closing on the date of the formal acceptance by Creditor Agents; b) settlement for February 2024 shall be paid with available funds in bank accounts authorized in CAMMESA for collection and with the available funds for the transferences made by the Argentine State to the Unified Fund destined at the Stabilization Fund. The Group´s MEM economic transactions for December 2023 and January and February 2024 amount to 30,681,066, 30,930,604 and 40,511,360 (VAT included), respectively.

On May 23, 2024, the Group entered into agreements with CAMMESA within the framework established by the Resolution. As a result of such agreements, the Group recorded a 20,459,785 loss under the line “Agreements with CAMMESA -SE Resolutions No. 58/2024 and 66/2024” within the item “Other operating expenses” of the consolidated income statement for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. As of the issuance date of these financial statements, the AE38 USD bond swap was made for MEM economic transactions of December 2023 and January 2024, and the total MEM economic transaction of February 2024 has been collected.

2. Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

2.1. Applied Professional Accounting Standards

The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the regulations in force of the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) on Chapter III, Title IV of the CNV Regulations (N.T. 2013 as amended). Under section 1 of such section of the Regulations, companies issuing negotiable instruments must present their condensed consolidated financial statements applying Technical Resolution 26 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”), which resolution establishes the application of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), its amendments and adoption circulars of IFRS that FACPCE may establish in accordance with such Technical Resolution. Interim condensed financial statements must apply the International Accounting Standard 34 (“IAS”) “Interim Financial Reporting”.

English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”).

CENTRAL PUERTO S.A.

2.2. Basis of presentation and consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 were prepared applying the financial information framework prescribed by CNV as mentioned in Note 2.1.

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group applied the significant accounting policies, estimates and assumptions described in notes 2.3 and 2.4 of the issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

These condensed consolidated financial statements include all the necessary information for a proper understanding by their users of the relevant facts and transactions subsequent to the issuance of the last annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and up to the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. However, these condensed consolidated financial statements include neither all the information nor the disclosures required for the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 1 (Presentation of financial statements). Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements must be read together with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Argentine pesos, which is the Group’s functional currency, and all values have been rounded to the nearest thousand (ARS 000), except when otherwise indicated.

2.2.1. Measuring unit

The financial statements as at June 30, 2024, including the figures for the previous period (this fact not affecting the decisions taken on the financial information for such periods) were restated to consider the changes in the general purchasing power of the functional currency of the Company (Argentine peso) pursuant to IAS 29 and General Resolution No. 777/2018 of the Argentine Securities Commission. Consequently, the financial statements are stated in the current measurement unit at the end of the reported period.

The effects caused by the application of IAS 29 are detailed in note 2.2.2 to the issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Regard being had to the mentioned index, the inflation was of 79.77% and 50.68% in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

2.3. Changes in accounting policies

New standards and interpretations adopted

As from the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024, the Group has applied for the first time certain new and/or amended standards and interpretations as issued by the IASB.

Below is a brief description of the new and/or amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Group and their impact on these consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

In January 2020 and October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify: (i) What is meant by a right to defer settlement, (ii) that a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period; (iii) that classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right and (iv) that only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.

English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”).

In case of discrepancy, the consolidated financial statements filed with the CNV prevail over this translation

CENTRAL PUERTO S.A.

In addition, a requirement has been introduced to require disclosure when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity’s right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months.

These amendments have not had a significant impact on the Group's condensed financial statements.

Supplier Finance Arrangements - Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to clarify the characteristics of supplier finance arrangements and require additional disclosure of such arrangements. The disclosure requirements in the amendments are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.

The transition rules clarify that an entity is not required to present information in any interim period in the year of initial application of the amendments. Therefore, these amendments have had no significant impact on the Group's condensed financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 16: Lease liability in subsequent sale and leaseback

In September 2022, IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 to clarify the requirements a seller-lessee uses to measure liabilities in a leaseback from a subsequent sale and leaseback transaction to guarantee the seller- lessee does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains.

These amendments have not had a significant impact on the Group's condensed financial statements.

7.4. Quantitative and qualitative information on fair values Valuation techniques

The fair value reported in connection with the abovementioned financial assets and liabilities is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

Management assessed that the fair values of current trade receivables approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The Group measures long-terms receivables at fixed and variable rates based on discounted cash flows. The valuation requires that the Group adopt certain assumptions such as interest rates, specific risk factors of each transaction and the creditworthiness of the customer.

Fair value of quoted debt securities, mutual funds, stocks and corporate bonds is based on price quotations at the end of each reporting period.

The fair value of debts and loans accruing interest is equivalent to their book value, except for the loan granted by Mitsubishi Corporation to the controlled company Central Costanera S.A.

Fair value hierarchy

The following tables provides, by level within the fair value measurement hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets, that were measured at fair value on recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and as of December 31, 2023:

On December 10, 2023, new government authorities took office, which authorities issued a series of measures among whose main objectives the following stand out: flexibility of regulations for economic development, reduction of expenses towards reducing fiscal deficit, reduction of subsidies, among others. Within the context of the new government, there was a significant devaluation of the Argentine peso which was reflected on the official exchange rate.

Foreign exchange market

As from December 2019, the BCRA issued a series of communications whereby it extended indefinitely the regulations on Foreign Market and Foreign Exchange Market issued by BCRA that included regulations on exports, imports and previous authorization from BCRA to access the foreign exchange market to transfer profits and dividends abroad, as well as other restrictions on the operation in the foreign exchange market.

Particularly, as from September 16, 2020, Communication “A” 7106 established, among other measures referred to human persons, the need for refinancing the international financial indebtedness for those loans from the non-financial private sector with a creditor not being a related counterparty of the debtor expiring between October 15, 2020 and March 31, 2021. The affected legal entities were to submit before the Central Bank a refinancing plan under certain criteria: that the net amount for which the foreign exchange market was to be accessed in the original terms did not exceed 40% of the capital amount due for that period and that the remaining capital had been, as a minimum, refinanced with a new external indebtedness with an average life of 2 years. This point shall not be applicable when indebtedness is taken from international entities and official credit agencies, among others. As from April 1, 2021, through Communication “A” 7230, BCRA decided to establish at the equivalent of USD 2 million the maximum amount per calendar month whereby the debtor would access the foreign exchange market for repaying the indebtedness described in point 7 of Communication “A” 7106, operating until December 31, 2021 (successively extended until December 31, 2023 through BCRA Communications “A” 7466 and 7621). Since December 31, 2023, the provisions on point 7 of Communication “A” 7106 (as amended and extended) have had no more effects. The effects of this regulation for the Company are described in Notes 7.3.3 and 7.3.10.

As of the issuance date of these financial statements, after the new authorities took office on December 10, 2023, the restrictions for the payment of imports with customs entry record prior to December 13, 2023 were reduced, while other BCRA restrictions to access to the Unique and Free Exchange Rate Market and to operate in the exchange rate market are kept.

Income Tax

On June 16, 2021, the Argentine Executive Power passed Law No. 27630, which established changes in the corporate income tax rate for the fiscal periods commencing as from January 1, 2021. Such law establishes payment of the tax based on a structure of staggered rates regarding the level of accumulated taxable net income. The estimated amounts in this scale will be annually adjusted, considering the annual variation of the consumer price index provided by the INDEC corresponding to October of the year prior to the adjustment compared with the same month of the previous year. For fiscal year 2023 the applicable scale was the following: 25% up to an accumulated taxable net income of 14.3 million Ps.; 30% for the excess of such amount up to 143 million Ps.; and 35% for the excess of such amount. Meanwhile, for fiscal year 2024 the applicable scale is the following: 25% up to an accumulated taxable net income of 102.3 million Ps.; 30% for the excess of such amount up to 347 million Ps.; and 35% for the excess of such amount.

Passing of Law No. 27742 “Law of Bases”

On June 28, 2024, Law No. 27742 (“Law of Bases”) was passed, which Law came into force after its enactment by the Executive Power.

Regarding energy, the Law of Bases modifies laws that form the regulatory framework of hydrocarbons, natural gas, biofuels, electricity, among others. These changes are projected with the aim of rearranging the relationship between the government and the market so as to give predominance to private initiatives in order to gain in competitive terms and maximize the rent obtained.

In this regard, the Law of Bases enables the Executive Power to modify the Laws No. 15336 on Electrical Energy and No. 24065 on the Regulatory Framework of Electric Energy, by guaranteeing the following bases:

–	Free international trade of electricity.

–	Free trade, competition and expansion of markets, and the possibility for the final user to choose the supplier.

–	A clear establishment of the different items to be paid by the final user.

–	The development of electricity transportation infrastructure through open, transparent, efficient and competitive mechanisms.

–	The review of administrative structures of the electricity sector, modernizing and professionalizing them.

The Law of Bases combines the gas and electricity regulators (ENRE and Enargas) in one National Gas and Electricity Regulatory Entity, which shall have the same functions as the current ones.

14. Restrictions on income distribution

Pursuant to the General Legal Entities Law and the Bylaws, 5% of the profits made during the fiscal year must be assigned to the statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 20% of the Company’s Capital Stock.

The profits that are distributed to human persons of Argentina and abroad and foreign legal entities are subject to a withholding of 7% as dividend tax, to the extent that such profits correspond to fiscal years closed after December 31, 2017.

In addition, certain loan agreements establish requirements to distribute dividends (see Notes 7.3.1, 7.3.4, 7.3.5, 7.3.6 and 7.3.10).
