NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 | General information |
Tenaris S.A. (the "Company") was established as a public limited liability company (société anonyme) under the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg on December 17, 2001. The Company holds, either directly or indirectly, controlling interests in various subsidiaries in the steel pipe manufacturing and distribution businesses. References in these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements to “Tenaris” refer to Tenaris S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries. A list of the Company’s principal subsidiaries is included in note 33 to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company’s shares trade on the Italian Stock Exchange and the Mexican Stock Exchange, and its American Depositary Securities (“ADS”) trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements were approved for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 30, 2025.
2 | Accounting policies and basis of presentation |
These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The accounting policies used in the preparation of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB and in conformity with IFRS as adopted by the EU.
The preparation of Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements requires management to make certain accounting estimates and assumptions that might affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the reporting dates, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reported periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The main areas involving significant estimates or judgments are impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, impairment of investments in associates; income taxes (including recoverability of deferred tax assets); obsolescence of inventory; contingencies; allowance for trade receivables; post-employment and other long-term benefits; business combinations; useful lives of property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets and property title ownership restriction. During the period there were no material changes in the significant accounting estimates and judgements.
Tenaris carefully assesses the potential impact of climate change and energy transition on its business and on the risks to its markets and its tangible and intangible assets and adapts its business strategy accordingly. These events did not impact materially management judgments and estimates used in the preparation of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements. For further information, see note 36 to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Material intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains (losses) on transactions between Tenaris’s subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. However, since the functional currency of some subsidiaries is their respective local currency, some financial gains (losses) arising from intercompany transactions are generated. These are included in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Income Statements under Other financial results, net.
There were no significant changes in valuation techniques during the period and there have been no changes in any risk management policies since the year ended December 31, 2024.
If necessary, comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to changes in presentation in the current period.
None of the accounting pronouncements applicable after December 31, 2024, and as of the date of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or result of its operations.

There are no material differences between the IFRS and management views in total revenues.
The differences between operating income under the IFRS and management views are mainly related to the cost of goods sold, reflecting the effect of raw materials prices variations on the valuation of the replacement cost considered for management view compared to IFRS cost calculated at historical cost on a FIFO basis, and other timing differences. For more information see note II.C “Segment information” in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The main differences in net income under the IFRS and management views arise from the impact of functional currencies on financial result, deferred income taxes as well as the equity in earnings of non-consolidated companies.

There were no transfers between levels during the period.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by Tenaris is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1 and comprise primarily corporate and sovereign debt securities.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (such as certain debt securities, certificates of deposits with original maturity of more than three months, forward and interest rate derivative instruments) is determined by using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data when available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2. Tenaris values its assets and liabilities included in this level using bid prices, interest rate curves, broker quotations, current exchange rates, forward rates and implied volatilities obtained from market contributors as of the valuation date.
The fair value of all outstanding derivatives is determined using specific pricing models that include inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived from or corroborated by observable data. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is calculated as the net present value of the estimated future cash flows in each currency, based on observable yield curves, converted into U.S. dollars at the spot rate of the valuation date.
If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instruments are included in Level 3. Tenaris values its assets and liabilities in this level using management assumptions which reflect the Company’s best estimate on how market participants would price the asset or liability at measurement date. As of December 31, 2024, main balances in this level included a liability related to the shares to be settled under the share buyback program which was concluded during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. Unobservable inputs related to this balance include assumptions regarding average purchase prices of previous periods, and management's past experience related to the conclusion of the share buyback program itself. A reasonable change in the inputs used would have not affected the fair value of the liability materially. For more information see note 23.
Borrowings are comprised primarily of fixed rate debt and variable rate debt with a short-term portion where interest has already been fixed. They are classified under other financial liabilities and measured at their amortized cost. Tenaris estimates that the fair value (level 2) of its main borrowings is approximately 99.3% of its carrying amount including interests accrued as of March 31, 2025, as compared with 98.3% as of December 31, 2024. Fair values were calculated using standard valuation techniques for floating rate instruments and comparable market rates for discounting cash flows.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 - all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated |
a) | Ternium |
Ternium S.A. (“Ternium”) is a steel producer with production facilities in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, United States and Guatemala and is one of Tenaris’s suppliers of round steel bars and flat steel products for its pipes business.
As of March 31, 2025, the closing price of Ternium’s ADSs as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange was $31.16 per ADS, giving Tenaris’s ownership stake a market value of approximately $715.8 million. As of that date, the carrying value of Tenaris’s ownership stake in Ternium, based on Ternium’s Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, was approximately $1,394.3 million.
The Company reviews its participation in Ternium whenever events or circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. As of March 31, 2025, the Company concluded that the carrying amount did not exceed the recoverable value of the investment.
b) | Usiminas |
Usiminas is a Brazilian producer of high-quality flat steel products used in the energy, automotive and other industries.
As of March 31, 2025, the closing price of the Usiminas’ ordinary and preferred shares, as quoted on the B3 - Brasil Bolsa Balcão S.A., was BRL5.61 ($0.98) and BRL5.68 ($0.99), respectively, giving Tenaris’s ownership stake a market value of approximately $47.7 million. As of that date, the carrying value of Tenaris’s ownership stake in Usiminas was approximately $ 113.9 million.
The Company reviews its participation in Usiminas whenever events or circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. As of March 31, 2025, the Company concluded that the carrying amount did not exceed the recoverable value of the investment.
c) | Techgen |
Techgen S.A. de C.V. (“Techgen”) is a Mexican company that operates a natural gas-fired combined cycle electric power plant in the Pesquería area of the State of Nuevo León, Mexico, with a power capacity of 900 MW. As of March 31, 2025, Tenaris held 22% of Techgen’s share capital, and its affiliates, Ternium and Tecpetrol Internacional S.L. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of San Faustin S.A. (“San Faustin”), the controlling shareholder of both Tenaris and Ternium), beneficially owned 48% and 30%, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the carrying value of Tenaris’s ownership stake in Techgen was approximately $62.5 million.
Techgen entered into certain transportation capacity agreements and an agreement for the purchase of clean energy certificates. As of March 31, 2025, Tenaris’s exposure under these agreements amounted to $35.5 million and $16.5 million, respectively.
Techgen’s sponsors granted certain subordinated loans to Techgen. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate outstanding principal amount under these subordinated loans was $312.7 million, of which $68.8 million correspond to Tenaris’s contribution.
On February 13, 2019, Techgen entered into a $640 million syndicated loan agreement with several banks to refinance an existing loan, resulting in the release of certain corporate guarantees previously issued by Techgen’s shareholders to secure the replaced facility.
The existing syndicated loan agreement is non-recourse on the sponsors. Techgen’s obligations thereunder are guaranteed by a Mexican security trust (covering shares, assets, accounts and contract rights), account pledges and certain direct agreements –customary for these type of transactions–. The commercial terms and conditions governing the purchase by Tamsa, of 22% of the energy generated by Techgen remain substantially unchanged.
Under the loan agreement, Techgen is committed to maintain a debt service reserve account covering debt service becoming due during two consecutive quarters; such account is funded by stand-by letters of credit issued for the account of Techgen’s sponsors in proportion to their respective participations in Techgen. Accordingly, the Company applied for stand-by letters of credit covering 22% of the debt service coverage ratio, which as of March 31, 2025, amounted to $9.7 million.

18 | Contingencies, commitments and restrictions to the distribution of profits |
(i) | Contingencies |
Tenaris is from time to time subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, including customer, employee, tax and environmental-related claims, in which third parties are seeking payment for alleged damages, reimbursement for losses, or indemnity. Management, with the assistance of legal counsel, periodically reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses potential financial exposure.
Some of these claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings involve highly complex issues, and often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of loss and an estimation of damages are difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, with respect to a large portion of such claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, the Company is unable to make a reliable estimate of the expected financial effect that will result from ultimate resolution of the proceeding. In those cases, the Company has not accrued any provision for the potential outcome of these cases.
If a potential loss from a claim, lawsuit or other proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a provision is recorded. Accruals for loss contingencies reflect a reasonable estimate of the losses to be incurred based on information available to management as of the date of preparation of the financial statements and take into consideration litigation and settlement strategies. In a limited number of ongoing cases, the Company was able to make a reliable estimate of the expected loss or range of probable loss and, depending on the likelihood of occurrence, in some of such cases has accrued a provision for such loss but believes that publication of this information on a case-by-case basis would seriously prejudice Tenaris’s position in the ongoing legal proceedings or in any related settlement discussions. Accordingly, in these cases, the Company has disclosed information with respect to the nature of the contingency but has not disclosed its estimate of the range of potential loss.
The Company believes that the aggregate provisions recorded for potential losses in these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are adequate based upon currently available information. However, if management’s estimates prove incorrect, current reserves could be inadequate and the Company could incur a charge to earnings which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, net worth and cash flows.
Below is a summary description of Tenaris’s material legal proceedings which are outstanding as of the date of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements. In addition, Tenaris is subject to other legal proceedings, none of which is believed to be material.
§ | CSN claims relating to the January 2012 acquisition of Usiminas |
The Company is party to a longstanding lawsuit filed in Brazil by Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (“CSN”), and various entities affiliated with CSN against the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary Confab and three subsidiaries of Ternium, all of which compose the T/T Group under the Usiminas shareholders agreement. The entities named in the CSN lawsuit had acquired participations in Usiminas in January 2012. The CSN lawsuit alleges that, under applicable Brazilian laws and rules, the acquirers were required to launch a tag-along tender offer to all non-controlling holders of Usiminas ordinary shares for a price per share equal to 80% of the price per share paid in such acquisition, or BRL28.8, and sought an order to compel the acquirers to launch an offer at that price plus interest. If so ordered, the offer would need to be made to 182,609,851 ordinary shares of Usiminas not belonging to Usiminas’ control group. Confab’s share in the offer would be 17.9%.
On September 23, 2013, the first instance court dismissed the CSN lawsuit, and on February 8, 2017, the court of appeals maintained the understanding of the first instance court. On August 18, 2017, CSN filed an appeal to the Superior Court of Justice (“SCJ”) seeking the review and reversal of the decision issued by the Court of Appeals. On September 10, 2019, the SCJ declared CSN’s appeal admissible. On March 7, 2023, the SCJ, by majority vote, rejected CSN’s appeal.
19 |
Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements | ![]() |
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 - all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated |
CSN made several submissions in connection with the SCJ March 7, 2023 decision, including a motion for clarification that challenged the merits of the SCJ decision. Decisions at the SCJ are adopted by majority vote. At an October 17, 2023 session, two justices of the SCJ voted in favor of remanding the case to the first instance for it to be retried following production and assessment of the new evidence, and two justices of the SCJ voted, without requiring any further evidence, in favor of granting CSN’s motion for clarification and reversing the March 7, 2023 decision that rejected CSN’s appeal; because the fifth member of SCJ excused himself from voting, a justice from another panel at the SCJ was summoned to produce the tie-breaking vote. On June 18, 2024, the SCJ completed its voting on CSN’s motion for clarification and reversed, by majority vote, its March 7, 2023 decision, and resolved that Confab and the three subsidiaries of Ternium should pay CSN an indemnification in connection with the acquisition by the T/T Group of a participation in Usiminas in January 2012, with CSN being allowed to retain ownership of the Usiminas ordinary shares it currently owns.
On August 1, 2024, Confab and the other T/T Group entities filed a motion for clarification against the SCJ decision and, subsequently, CSN filed its reply. On December 6, 2024, the SCJ rejected this motion for clarification, confirming the obligation of Confab and the other T/T Group entities to pay indemnification in connection with the 2012 acquisition of the participations in Usiminas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the SCJ unanimously resolved to modify the applicable monetary adjustment mechanism and to cap the applicable attorney’s fees, thereby lowering the aggregate amount that would be payable if CSN ultimately prevails in this claim. Based on such SCJ decision, assuming monetary adjustment through March 31, 2025, and attorney’s fees in the amount of BRL5 million, the revised aggregate amount potentially payable by Confab if CSN finally prevails on its claims, would be of approximately BRL569.9 million (approximately $99.2 million at the BRL/$ rate as of such date).
The Company continues to believe that all of CSN's claims and allegations are unsupported and without merit, as confirmed by several opinions of Brazilian legal counsel, two decisions issued by the Brazilian securities regulator in February 2012 and December 2016, the first and second instance court decisions and the March 7, 2023 SCJ decision referred to above, and that in connection with the Usiminas acquisition the T/T Group was not required either to launch a tender offer or to pay indemnification to CSN. Accordingly, on February 10, 2025, Confab and the other T/T Group entities filed a request for extraordinary appeal against the SCJ decisions that ordered an indemnification payment, seeking their review and reversal by the Supreme Federal Tribunal. The Company, however, cannot predict the ultimate resolution of the matter.
§ | Veracel Celulose accident litigation |
On September 21, 2007, an accident occurred in the premises of Veracel Celulose S.A. (“Veracel”) in connection with a rupture in one of the tanks used in an evaporation system manufactured by Confab. The Veracel accident allegedly resulted in material damages to Veracel. Itaú Seguros S.A. (“Itaú”), Veracel’s insurer at the time of the Veracel accident and then replaced by Chubb Seguros Brasil S/A (“Chubb”), initiated a lawsuit against Confab seeking reimbursement of damages paid to Veracel in connection with the Veracel accident. Veracel initiated a second lawsuit against Confab seeking reimbursement of the amount paid as insurance deductible with respect to the Veracel accident and other amounts not covered by insurance. Itaú and Veracel claimed that the Veracel accident was caused by failures and defects attributable to the evaporation system manufactured by Confab. Confab believes that the Veracel accident was caused by the improper handling by Veracel’s personnel of the equipment supplied by Confab in violation of Confab’s instructions. The two lawsuits were consolidated and are considered by the 6th Civil Court of São Caetano do Sul. However, each lawsuit will be adjudicated separately.
On September 28, 2018, Confab and Chubb entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which on October 9, 2018, Confab paid an amount of approximately $3.5 million to Chubb, without assuming any liability for the accident or the claim.
On October 10, 2018, Confab was notified that the court had issued rulings for both lawsuits. Both decisions were unfavorable to Confab:
§ | With respect to Chubb’s claim, the court subsequently homologated the above-mentioned settlement and, accordingly, the claim was finalized. |

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 - all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated |
§ | With respect to Veracel’s claim, Confab was ordered to pay the insurance deductible and other concepts not covered by insurance, currently estimated to amount to BRL114.0 million (approximately $19.8 million) including interest, fees and expenses. Both parties filed motions for clarification against the court’s decision, which were partially granted. Although the contract between Confab and Veracel expressly provided that Confab would not be liable for damages arising from lost profits, the court award would appear to include BRL97.8 million (approximately $17.0 million) of damages arising therefrom. Confab has additional defense arguments in respect of a claim for lost profits. On December 18, 2018, Confab filed an appeal against the first instance court decision, and on April 30, 2019, Veracel filed its response to the appeal. In June 2022, the court resolved that it lacked jurisdiction to decide on the appeal, which was re-allocated to another court. On August 26, 2024, the court issued a decision rejecting certain procedural objections and ordering that new expert evidence be produced. As a result, the trial was redirected to the first instance court for new technical evidence to be produced by a new expert. On September 9, 2024, Veracel filed a motion for clarification, which was responded by Confab on October 23, 2024, and remains pending decision. At this stage, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the claim or the amount or range of loss in case of an unfavourable outcome. |
§ | Petrobras-related proceedings and claims |
Upon learning of certain government investigations at to whether certain payments have been made prior to 2014 from accounts of entities presumably associated with affiliates of the Company to accounts allegedly linked to individuals related to Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) and whether any such payments were intended to benefit the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary Confab, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors engaged external counsel in connection with the Company’s review of these matters. In addition, the Company voluntarily notified the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) in October 2016, conducted, with the assistance of external counsel, an internal investigation, and found no evidence corroborating any involvement by the Company or its directors, officers or employees in respect of improper payments. An internal investigation commissioned by Petrobras also found no evidence that Confab obtained any unfair commercial benefit or advantage from Petrobras in return for payments, including improperly obtained contracts. On June 2, 2022, the Company resolved the investigation by the SEC, and the DOJ informed that it had closed its parallel inquiry without taking action. Under the settlement with the SEC, the Company neither admits nor denies the SEC’s findings and on June 24, 2022, paid $53.1 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest and $25 million for a civil penalty to conclude the matter.
In July 2019, the Company learned that the public prosecutors’ office of Milan, Italy, had completed a preliminary investigation into the same alleged payments and had included in the investigation, among other persons, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, two other board members, Gianfelice Rocca and Roberto Bonatti, and the Company’s controlling shareholder, San Faustin. The Company was not a party to the proceedings. On March 22, 2022, upon completion of the evidentiary phase of the trial, the acting prosecutor requested the first-instance court in Milan in charge of the case to impose sanctions on our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, on the other two board members, and on San Faustin. On May 26, 2022, the first-instance court dismissed the case brought by the public prosecutor against the defendants for lack of jurisdiction and stated that the criminal proceeding should not have been initiated. On February 22, 2024, the court of appeals referred the case to the court of cassation, which, on May 23, 2024, confirmed the decision of the first-instance court and closed the case.
In June 2020, the Brazilian public prosecutors’ office requested the indictment of several individuals, including three executives or former executives of Confab and a former agent of Confab, charging them with the alleged crimes of corruption in relation to contracts executed between 2007 and 2010, and money laundering in relation to payments between 2009 and 2013. On December 11, 2024, the Confab executives were acquitted. The acquittal has already been appealed, so the criminal proceedings continue to be underway. Neither the Company nor Confab is a party to these criminal proceedings.
In addition, Petrobras and the Brazilian public prosecutors filed civil claims for alleged damages arising from the same event against, among others, Confab and the Confab executives named in the criminal proceedings referred to above.
The plaintiffs also seek that Confab be prohibited from contracting with, or receiving benefits or exemptions from, the Brazilian state for an unspecified term. Confab became aware of these civil claims in September 2022 and filed its defense in February 2025, requesting the suspension of the case until a final decision is made on the jurisdiction and the dismissal on the merits of the claims made by Petrobras and the public prosecutors. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of these claims was estimated at BRL197.0 million (or approximately $34.3 million). Confab believes these claims do not address either the defence arguments or the evidence available to the plaintiffs in Brazil and presented in other jurisdictions and is vigorously contesting them. At this stage, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these civil proceedings.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 - all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated |
In late March 2024, the Company became aware of a resolution of Brazil’s General Controllers Office (“Controladoria-Geral da União”), which opened administrative responsibility proceedings against Confab and other non-Tenaris affiliates and formed an investigative commission charged with investigating purported irregularities. Confab received notice in February 2025 and believes that the General Controllers Office’s allegations do not address either the defense arguments of the evidence available to the plaintiffs in Brazil and presented in other jurisdiction. On April 7, 2025, Confab filed its defense and contested the allegations. At this stage, however, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these administrative proceedings.
§ | Administrative proceeding concerning Brazilian tax credits |
.
Confab is a party to an administrative proceeding concerning the recognition and transfer of tax credits for an amount allegedly exceeding the amount that Confab would have been entitled to recognize and / or transfer. The proceeding resulted in the imposition of a fine against Confab representing approximately 75% of the allegedly undue credits, which was appealed by Confab. On January 21, 2019, Confab was notified of an administrative decision denying Confab’s appeal, thereby upholding the tax determination and the fine against Confab. On January 28, 2019, Confab challenged such administrative decision. Special appeals were filed by Confab in July 2023 and by the Brazilian General Tax Attorney in September 2023. The parties are currently awaiting a resolution. In case of an unfavorable resolution, Confab may appeal before the courts. The estimated amount of this claim is BRL64.0 million (approximately $11.1 million). At this stage, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this claim.
§ | U.S. patent infringement litigation |
Tenaris Coiled Tubes, LLC (“TCT”), a U.S. subsidiary of the Company, was sued in 2017 by its competitor Global Tubing, alleging defamatory conduct by TCT and seeking a declaration that certain Global Tubing products do not infringe patents held by TCT. TCT counterclaimed that certain Global Tubing products did infringe patents held by TCT, and Global Tubing has since sought to invalidate such patents. On December 13, 2019, Global Tubing filed an amended complaint (including the Company as defendant), alleging, among other things, that TCT and the Company had misled the patent office. On March 20, 2023, the judge granted summary judgment in favor of Global Tubing, concluding that the patents at issue are unenforceable due to inequitable conduct during the patent prosecution process. TCT appealed this judgment, and Global Tubing appealed a previous ruling of the judge. Global Tubing also filed a brief seeking to recover attorneys’ fees, without specifying the amount of those fees. Although it is not possible to predict the final outcome of this matter, the Company believes that any potential losses arising from this case will not be material.
§ | U.S. Antidumping Duty Investigations |
On October 27, 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce (“DOC”) initiated antidumping duty investigations of oil country tubular goods (“OCTG”) from Argentina, Mexico, and Russia. After the DOC issued affirmative preliminary and final antidumping determinations with respect to imports from Argentina, Mexico and Russia on October 27, 2022, the International Trade Commission (“ITC”) determined that the imports under investigation caused injury to the U.S. OCTG industry. Tenaris and other parties have appealed the agency determinations from the investigation to the Court of International Trade, and, with respect to certain claims, to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In addition, in response to a request from the Government of Argentina, the World Trade Organization (“WTO”) established a panel of experts to consider whether the DOC’s antidumping order applicable to Argentina is consistent with the international obligations of the United States. As a result of the investigation, and unless overturned on appeal, Tenaris is required to pay antidumping duty deposits (at a rate of 78.30% for imports from Argentina and 44.93% for imports from Mexico) until such time the imports are reviewed by the DOC to determine whether final duties are necessary for the specific period under review. Tenaris has been paying such deposits since May 11, 2022, reflecting the amount of such deposits in its costs. The deposit rates may be reset periodically based on the results of the administrative review process. In the first administrative review covering the period from May 11, 2022, to October 31, 2023, the DOC issued preliminary determinations. The final determination, which could be different from the preliminary determination, is expected by September 2025. As a result of the periodic review process, the antidumping duty deposits may be either returned to Tenaris in whole or in part, or may be increased.

(ii) | Commitments and guarantees |
Set forth is a description of the Tenaris’s main outstanding commitments:
§ | Certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a long-term contract with Praxair S.A. for the service of oxygen and nitrogen supply. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate amount to take or pay the committed volumes for an original 14-year term totaled approximately $27.1 million. |
§ | A Mexican subsidiary of the Company entered into a 25-year contract (effective as of December 1, 2016, through December 1, 2041) with Techgen for the supply of 197 MW (which represents 22% of Techgen’s capacity). Monthly payments are determined on the basis of capacity charges, operation costs, back-up power charges, and transmission charges. As of the seventh contract year (as long as Techgen’s existing or replacing bank facility has been repaid in full), the Company’s subsidiary has the right to suspend or early terminate the contract if the rate payable under the agreement is higher than the rate charged by the Mexican Comisión Federal de Electricidad (“CFE”) or its successors. The Company’s subsidiary may instruct Techgen to sell to any affiliate, to CFE, or to any other third party all or any part of unused contracted energy under the agreement and the Company’s subsidiary will benefit from the proceeds of such sale. |
§ | A U.S. subsidiary of the Company is a party to a contract with Nucor Steel Memphis Inc. under which it is committed to purchase on a monthly basis a specified minimum volume of steel bars, at prices subject to quarterly adjustments. The contract became effective in April 2021, with an original duration of 3 years. In September 2023, the parties agreed to extend its term until December 31, 2024, and in October 2024, agreed a renovation until December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the estimated aggregate contract amount calculated at current prices was approximately $48.3 million. The contract gives the subsidiary of the Company the right to temporarily reduce the quantities to be purchased thereunder to 75% of the agreed-upon minimum volume in cases of material adverse changes in prevailing economic or market conditions. |
§ | In connection with the closing of the acquisition of IPSCO, a U.S. subsidiary of the Company entered into a 6-year master distribution agreement (the “MDA”) with PAO TMK (“TMK”) whereby, since January 2, 2020, Tenaris became the exclusive distributor of TMK’s OCTG and line pipe products in United States and Canada. At the end of the MDA’s 6-year term, TMK would have the option to extend the duration of its term for an additional 12-month period. Under the MDA, the Company is required to purchase specified minimum volumes of TMK-manufactured OCTG and line pipe products, based on the aggregate market demand for the relevant product category in the United States in the relevant year. In February 2022, however, the Company and TMK agreed that there would be no minimum yearly purchase requirement for the OCTG product category for 2022, and there would be no minimum yearly purchase requirement for TMK line pipe products under the MDA neither for 2022, nor for any subsequent contract year until expiration of the MDA’s term. In addition, no purchases of TMK products have made since 2023. |

In addition, Tenaris (i) applied for stand-by letters of credit as well as corporate guarantees covering certain obligations of Techgen as described in note 17 (c) and (ii) issued performance guarantees mainly related to long-term commercial contracts with several customers for approximately $4.2 billion as of March 31, 2025.
(iii) | Restrictions on the distribution of profits and payment of dividends |
In accordance with Luxembourg Law, the Company is required to transfer a minimum of 5% of its net profit for each financial year to a legal reserve until such reserve equals 10% of the issued share capital.
As of March 31, 2025, this reserve is fully allocated and additional allocations to the reserve are not required under Luxembourg law. Dividends may not be paid out of the legal reserve
On April 30, 2024, the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders approved the cancellation of 17,779,302 ordinary shares held in treasury by the Company repurchased during the first tranche of the initial share buyback program and the corresponding reduction of the issued share capital of the Company and, accordingly, the legal reserve was proportionally reduced. The next extraordinary general meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on May 6, 2025, is expected to approve the cancellation of shares repurchased during the second, third and fourth tranches of the first share buyback program and throughout the second share buyback program, and the corresponding reduction of the Company’s issued share capital.
The Company may pay dividends to the extent, among other conditions, that it has distributable retained earnings calculated in accordance with Luxembourg law and regulations.
19 | Developments concerning cancelled title deeds in Saudi Steel Pipe Company |
In early 2021, the Company learned through the Saudi Ministry of Justice’s online portal that the electronic title deeds to certain land plots of its Saudi Arabian subsidiary SSPC had become inactive due to cancellation by court order. The affected land plots, which are not part of SSPC’s production facility and have a total surface of 811,284 square meters, are located in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, and were purchased on February 2010, pursuant to a written purchase agreement duly executed by SSPC in full compliance with the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“the land transaction”). The land transaction occurred before Tenaris’s acquisition of a 47.79% interest in SSPC in 2019. On May 4, 2021, SSPC filed a petition with an ad-hoc created special committee at the Saudi Ministry of Justice, seeking to have its title deeds reinstated, with no resolution having been issued to date.
On April 28, 2025, SSPC concluded a settlement with the sellers of the land plots purchased in 2010. Pursuant to the settlement, the land transaction was unwound, and the sellers paid an aggregate amount of SAR211 million (or approximately $56.2 million) in cash. Additionally, the sellers released SSPC from any claim on the lands or its title deeds and assumed all rights and obligations related to the pending petition. The financial effect of this settlement will be reflected in the financial statements for the second quarter of 2025.
20 | Foreign exchange control measures in Argentina |
Between September 2019 and December 13, 2023, the Argentine government imposed significant restrictions on foreign exchange transactions. After a new administration took office in Argentina in December 2023, some of these restrictions have been progressively lifted or eased. The main currently applicable measures are described below:
§ | Foreign currency proceeds derived from exports of goods must be sold into the Argentine foreign exchange market (“MULC”) and converted into Argentine pesos within 60 days (if made to related parties) or 180 days (if made to unrelated parties) from shipment date, or, if collected earlier, within 20 business days of collection. Foreign currency proceeds from exports of services must be sold into the MULC and converted into Argentine pesos within 20 business days of collection. |
§ | Access to the MULC to pay for imports of services is permitted as from the date of supply or accrual of the service (if the service was rendered by a non-related party) or is deferred for 90 calendar days as from the date of supply or accrual of the service (if rendered by a related party). |
§ | Access to the MULC to pay for imports of goods is permitted as from the date of customs clearance. |
24 |
Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements | ![]() |
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 - all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated |
§ | Access to the MULC to pay imports of capital assets is permitted according to the following schedule: up to 30% in advance; up to 50% against shipment; and the balance against customs clearance. |
§ | Access to the MULC to pay dividends will be permitted for distributable earnings corresponding to full fiscal years commencing after January 1, 2025. For accumulated earnings relating to prior years, the Argentine Central Bank will issue a new instrument in U.S. Dollars (BOPREAL Series 4), fully amortizing on the third anniversary of its issuance, with semi-annual coupon payments, which can be subscribed to in Argentine Pesos. |
Access to foreign currency and transfers out of Argentina to make payments that remain restricted can be achieved, however, through securities transactions involving bonds or shares with multiple listings, resulting in a different implicit exchange rate, generally higher than the official exchange rate. Such transactions are still subject to certain restrictions and limits. It is still unclear if or when the Argentine authorities will eliminate or loosen the remaining restrictions.
The exchange rate of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar devaluated by more than 100% upon the change of government in December 2023. Since then, the Administration maintained a “crawling peg” policy by devaluating the Argentine currency at a rate of approximately 2% per month through February 1, 2025, and at approximately 1% per month from then through April 14, 2025. On that date, the Argentine government put an end to the existing regime and established a trading band allowing the Argentine peso to float between 1,000 and 1,400 against the U.S. Dollar. The upper level of the band will increase by 1% per month and the lower level of the band will decrease by 1% per month. In addition, the Argentine Central Bank is allowed to sell foreign currency when the market price hits the upper level and is allowed to purchase foreign currency (to increase its foreign reserves) within the band and below its lower level. In the first weeks following the change of regime, the official exchange rate fluctuated within the bottom half of the band.
Tenaris’s financial position in Argentine pesos as of March 31, 2025, amounted to a net short exposure of approximately $4.3 million. In the event of an additional devaluation, our Argentine subsidiaries, which hold U.S. dollar-denominated Argentine bonds for an aggregated value of $130.1 million, may be adversely affected, and will also suffer a loss on deferred tax charge as a result of a deterioration on the tax value of their fixed assets. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate all impacts of a further devaluation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar.
As of March 31, 2025, the total equity of Argentine subsidiaries represented approximately 12% of Tenaris’s total equity and the sales made by Argentine subsidiaries during the period ended March 31, 2025, amounted approximately to 15% of Tenaris’s total sales. Assets and liabilities denominated in Argentine peso as of March 31, 2025, are valued at the prevailing official exchange rate.
This context of volatility and uncertainty remains in place as of the issue date of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements. Management continues to monitor closely the evolution of the main variables affecting its business, identifying the potential impact thereof on its financial and economic situation and determining the appropriate course of action in each case. These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements should be read taking into account these circumstances.

23 | Share Buyback Program |
First Share Buyback Program
On November 1, 2023, the Company’s board of directors approved a share buyback program of up to $1.2 billion, to be executed within a year, with the intention to cancel the ordinary shares acquired through the program.
The share buyback program was carried out under the authority granted by the annual general meeting of shareholders held on June 2, 2020, up to a maximum of 10% of the Company’s shares.
For purposes of carrying out each tranche of the first share buyback program, Tenaris entered into non-discretionary buyback agreements with primary financial institutions that made trading decisions concerning the timing of the purchases of Tenaris’s ordinary shares independently of and uninfluenced by Tenaris and acted in compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052.
During the first share buyback program, which was divided into four tranches and ran from November 5, 2023, to (and including) August 2, 2024, the Company purchased 71,679,768 ordinary shares, representing 6.07% of the Company’s issued share capital at the beginning of the program, for a total consideration of approximately $1.2 billion (excluding incidental transaction fees).
Second Share Buyback Program
On November 6, 2024, the Company’s board of directors approved a follow-on share buyback program of up to $700 million (excluding incidental transaction fees), subject to a maximum of 46,373,915 ordinary shares, representing the remaining 3.93% of the Company’s issued share capital (measured as of the launch of the first share buyback program), to complete the maximum of 10% of the share capital that may be repurchased by the Company, with the intention to cancel the shares acquired through the program. The share buyback program was carried out under the authority granted by the annual general meeting of shareholders held on June 2, 2020, to repurchase up to a maximum of 10% of the Company’s shares.
For purposes of carrying out the second share buyback program, the Company entered into a non-discretionary buyback agreement with a primary financial institution, which made trading decisions concerning the timing of the purchases of the Company’s shares independently of and uninfluenced by the Company and act in compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052.
The second share buyback program ran from November 11, 2024, to (and including) March 4, 2025. During the follow-on share buyback program, the Company repurchased 36,862,132 ordinary shares, representing 3.12% of the Company’s issued share capital as measured at the beginning of the first program, for a total consideration of approximately $700 million (excluding incidental transaction fees).
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company purchased 12,277,261 shares, for approximately $235 million (including a positive performance amount of $1.1 million). During the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, the Company purchased 17,168,061 shares, for approximately $311 million (including a negative performance amount of $4.6 million).
As of March 31, 2025, the Company held 90,762,598 shares as treasury shares. The Company intends to cancel all treasury shares purchased under the share buyback programs in the next extraordinary general meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on May 6, 2025, and to approve the corresponding reduction of the Company’s issued share capital for $90,762,598 so as to bring the issued share capital from $1,162,757,528 to $1,071,994,930.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company held a liability in connection to the shares to be settled under the share buyback programs that amounted to $243.3 million, valued at fair value.

24 | Tariffs on steel imports in the United States |
On February 1, 2025, the U.S. government announced the imposition of flat tariffs applicable to all products imported from Mexico and Canada, but subsequently suspended the effectiveness of such tariffs, citing ongoing trade negotiations.
On February 10, 2025, the U.S. government announced changes to the tariffs applicable to imported steel products, including those produced and sold by the Company. These charges include the extension of a 25% tariff to all imported steel products, which became effective on March 12, 2025, pursuant to a phased-in implementation plan, initially applying to raw steel products, with downstream (“derivative”) products being subject to the tariff starting June 1, 2025. Exclusions that currently exempt specific products and countries from the existing tariffs would end under the announced plan.
These announced U.S. tariffs on steel imports and other tariffs (including those arising under the reciprocal tariff regime announced by the U.S. government on April 2, 2025, or under the retaliatory measures enacted by other countries) could affect market prices and dynamics, supply chains, and cost structures. However, implementation is still uncertain. Negotiations between trading partners on this matter are also not unlikely and in some cases ongoing. The potential for litigation or international retaliation introduces further uncertainties. In this context, the Company is unable at this time to predict the evolution or ultimate outcome of these developments, or to quantify the impact that the announced measures, if maintained, would have on its business or financial condition.
