1.Results of operations 

The following table presents a summary of the consolidated results of operations for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 (“6M2024”) and June 30, 2023 (“6M2023”):

Activities of the Company in 6M2024 and 6M2023

Revenues

Revenues for 6M2024 increased by Ps. 66,312 million compared to 6M2023, mainly due to the increase in revenues from Natural Gas Transportation and Midstream business segments.

Natural Gas Transportation

During 6M2024 revenues from the Natural Gas Transportation business segment accounted for 29% of tgs total revenues (22% for 6M2023). 84% of total revenues in this segment corresponded to firm contracted capacity services (82% for 6M2023).

Revenues from the Natural Gas Transportation segment during 6M2024 reached Ps. 142,128 million (Ps. 93,365 million in 6M2023). The increase of Ps. 48,763 million is mainly due to the positive impact of the temporary tariff increase of 675% granted as of April 3, 2024, explained below, an effect that was partially offset by the negative impact that the evolution of inflation has on them.

On March 26, 2024, the Issuer and ENARGAS entered into a Tariff Transitory Adjustment Agreement (the “Tariff Agreement”), which provides for a 675% transitional adjustment in natural gas transportation tariffs effective as of April 3, 2024, pursuant to Resolution No. 112/2024 issued by ENARGAS (“Resolution 112”). Resolution 112 provides that, as from May 2024 and until ENARGAS’s integral tariff review process for the natural gas industry is completed, tariffs are adjusted monthly based on a composite index (the “Transitional Adjustment Index”). by the wage index, the wholesale price index and the construction cost index.

During the following months, ENARGAS notified the licensee companies of the postponement of previously scheduled monthly adjustment. Additionally, it announced that the Transitional Adjustment Index would be replaced by an adjustment index based on expected inflation to be communicated by the Ministry of Economy. The difference between actual and estimated inflation will be considered in the RTI rate calculation. According to the notification received, if the actual inflation is higher or lower than the inflation estimated by the Ministry of Economy, this difference will be taken into account when determining the rate resulting from the RTI process.

On August 1, 2024, ENARGAS issued Resolution No. 411/2024 by which, as of the following day, the new transition rate tables are put into effect, contemplating an increase of 4% on the rates in force at that time.

In addition, Resolution 112 provides that during 2024 tgs must execute an investment plan in

2

the amount of Ps. 27,690 million (adjustable by the Transitional Adjustment Index), which, as of the date hereof, is in the process of execution.

License extension request

In relation to the extension of the License, on June 19, 2024, ENARGAS issued a technical and legal report indicating that we have broadly fulfilled our obligations regarding the License. Based on this report, and after a non-binding public hearing, the ENARGAS controller may submit a recommendation to the National Executive Branch which, in turn, may issue a decree granting the extension of the License within 120 days from the date of the recommendation.

Liquids Production and Commercialization

During 6M2024, net sales revenues corresponding to this business segment represented 52% of total revenues (63% for 6M2023).

Revenues derived from the Liquid Production and Commercialization business segment amounted to Ps. 256,205 million in 6M2024 (Ps 10,748 million lower than those recorded in 6M2023). This negative effect was mainly due to the decrease in: (i) tons of ethane dispatched due to operational problems by PBB Polisur S.R.L. of acquiring the product, (ii) the price of the ethane and (iii) the price of propane and butane sold in the local market. These effects were partially offset by the positive variation in the real exchange rate, the improvements in the premiums corresponding to the export of propane and butane and in the international reference prices.

Total volumes dispatched registered a decrease of 10% or 61,479 tons compared to 6M2023.

Midstream

Revenues derived from the Midstream business segment increased by Ps. 28,298 million in 6M2024 compared to the same period of 2023. This increase is due to higher revenues corresponding to: (i) natural gas transportation and conditioning services in Vaca Muerta, (ii) the positive variation in the real exchange rate and (iii) the operation and maintenance of the Néstor Kirchner gas pipeline (“GPNK”) and services related to the Transpor.Ar program.

On June 19, 2024, TGS submitted an investment proposal to the Ministry of Economy under a private initiative framework to increase the available volume of natural gas in the northeast area of Argentina by the winter of 2026 (the “Investment Proposal”). The Investment Proposal seeks to replace natural gas and liquid imports each winter by using existing infrastructure.

This proposal would be executed as a complement to the construction of stage 2 of the GPNK, presenting itself as an alternative through the use of existing infrastructure, with the objective of achieving the lowest cost for the end user and savings for the National Government If approved by the Government, a bidding process will be initiated, where we will have the option to match the best offer made by a third party to the Government. As of the date of this MD&A, no response has been received from the National Government.

Cost of sales and administrative and selling expenses

Cost of sales, administrative and selling expenses corresponding to 6M2024 decrease by Ps. 19,181 million. This variation is mainly due to the decrease in the cost of natural gas processed

3

at the Cerri Complex (mainly due to a decrease in the price, measured in constant Argentine pesos). This effect was partially offset by the increase in (i) third-parties fees and services and repair and maintenance expenses, (ii) taxes, fees and contributions (mainly due to the effect of the higher charge on gross income and withholdings on exports) and (iii) labor costs.

The following table shows the main components of cost of sales, administrative and selling expenses, and comparisons for 6M2024 and 6M2023:

Net financial results

This positive variation is mainly due to the lower negative foreign exchange loss. This effect was partially offset by the higher loss on net monetary position and the lower positive financial results recorded by financial assets due to the decrease in the returns obtained.

2.Liquidity  

The Company’s primary sources and application of funds during 6M2024 and 6M2023 are shown in the table below:

During 6M2024 the net variation in cash and cash equivalents was positive by Ps. 40,104 million.

Cash flow from operations amounted to Ps. 155,490 million. This cash flow was Ps. 31,706 million lower than in 6M2023 due to lower working capital and higher interest payments. These effects were partially offset by the lower income tax paid.

4

Cash flows used in investing activities amounted to (Ps. 95,558) million, Ps. 67,262 million lower than funds used in 6M2023 due to higher collections of placements of funds not considered cash equivalents according to IFRS Accounting Standards.

Finally, cash flows used in financial activities during 6M2024 amounted to Ps. 19,827 million. During 6M2024, the Company took out bank loans for Ps. 49,596 million and made cancellations of Ps. 30,107 million.

It is noteworthy that on July 24, the placement of Class 3 Notes was carried out for an amount of US$ 490 million. These notes with amortization on July 24, 2031, pay semiannual interest at a fixed interest rate of 8.5% per year. The total amount received, after deducting the issue price, amounted to US$ 483 million and was allocated entirely to the cancellation of the notes whose maturity was on May 2, 2025.

3.Second Quarter 2024 (“2Q2024”) vs. Second quarter 2023 (“2Q2023”) 

The following table presents a summary of the consolidated results of operations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 (“2Q2024”) and June 30, 2023 (“2Q2023”):

During 2Q2024, the Company obtained comprehensive income of Ps. 85,708 million, compared to comprehensive income of Ps. 44,969 million obtained in the same period of 2023.

Total revenues for 2Q2024 increased Ps. 53,576 million compared to the same period of the previous year.

Revenues from the Natural Gas Transportation business segment in 2Q2024 increased by Ps. 66,983 million, compared to 2Q2023. This positive variation was due to the 675% rate increase granted as of April 3, 2024 mentioned above.

As for the Liquids Production and Commercialization business segment, revenues decreased by Ps. 20,966 million in 2Q2024, mainly due to the drop in (i) the price of ethane sold, (ii) the volumes of ethane and propane and butane dispatched and (iii) the services provided. These effects were partially offset by the increase in international reference prices and the exchange rate on sales denominated in US dollars.

With respect to the total volumes dispatched from the Cerri Complex, which decreased by 13% or 37,401 tons, the table included below shows the volumes dispatched by market and product and revenues by market:

5

The Midstream business segment reported an increase of Ps. 7,559 million, mainly explained by greater natural gas transportation and conditioning services in Vaca Muerta and the Transport.Ar program.

Cost of sales and administrative and commercialization expenses for 2Q2024 amounted to Ps. 135,738 million (compared to Ps. 154,251 million in 2Q2023), a decrease of Ps. 18,513 million. This variation is mainly due to lower: (i) costs of natural gas processed at Cerri Complex (lower price expressed in constant currency and lower consumption), (ii) repair and maintenance expenses of PPE, and (iii) depreciations. These effects were partially offset by higher fees and services of third parties and taxes, fees and contributions (due to the effect of the gross income tax).

The following table shows the main components of operating costs, administrative and commercialization expenses and their main variations for 2Q2024 and 2Q2023:

In 2Q2024, financial results suffered a negative variation of Ps. 7,780 million, compared to those registered in the 2023 period. This variation is mainly due to the lower positive result generated by financial assets and the negative charge for loss on net monetary position registered in 2Q2024 in contrast to the profit of the same period 2023. These effects were partially offset due to the lower negative exchange rate difference (because of the greater variation in the exchange rate during 2Q2024).

10.Outlook 

The future of natural gas as an essential fuel for the country's energy matrix is consolidated year after year, which will make Argentina a sustainable country with high growth. We have consolidated ourselves as an integrated service provider in the hydrocarbon industry.

Our strategy aims to position ourselves in a leading role, carrying out vital undertakings for the future of the country, thus consolidating the growth strategy with a leap of magnitude. With this objective, we are adopting an innovative vision, seeking new business opportunities for our clients with a focus on Vaca Muerta.

Continuing our growth plan in the area, we hope for the winter of 2024, the culmination of the expansion of the Tratayén conditioning plant through the installation of 2 conditioning modules, each with a capacity of 6.6 million m3/day, whose investment is estimated at US$ 320 million.

The current economic situation and the tariff review process faced by the authorities implies that we must continue to generate valid and constructive channels of dialogue that allow us to manage a profitable and efficient natural gas transportation business in accordance with the country's energy development, considering the needs of the internal and external demands and of our stakeholders.

In this framework, we will be attentive to the talks with the national authorities in order to advance in the concretion of the new RTI process.

In the Liquids Production and Commercialization Segment, the strategy will be aimed at optimizing the production mix that allows prioritizing those products and distribution channels that provide higher margins, and to maximizing access to the RTP at reasonable costs. For this, it will be very important to be efficient in the management of our assets, ensuring a coordinated, safe and efficient operation.

In financial terms, and given the aforementioned facts, we will continue to prudently manage our funds in order to preserve our shareholders´ value given the volatile macroeconomic context in which our activities will be carried out.

8

As regards their daily operations, tgs will remain committed to continuous improvement of each of its processes to optimize the use of the resources and to reduce operating costs. To this end, the Company will carry out actions aimed at the reduction of cost without affecting the reliability and availability of the pipeline system. We will continue with the implementation of various actions, such as the standardization and systematization of risk management in pipelines, compressor stations and processing facilities. Finally, we will deepen training initiatives for the staff for technical and management training resources.

17.2 Fair value measurement hierarchy and estimates

According to IFRS Accounting Standard 13, the fair value hierarchy introduces three levels of inputs based on the lowest level of input significant to the overall fair value. These levels are:

·Level 1: includes financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are estimated using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The instruments included in this level primarily include balances in mutual funds and public or private bonds listed on the Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. (“BYMA”).  

·Level 2: includes financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is estimated using different assumptions quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (for example, derived from prices).  

·Level 3: includes financial instruments for which the assumptions used in estimating fair value are not based on observable market information. 

The table below shows different assets at their fair value classified by hierarchy as of June 30, 2024:

The fair value amount of the financial assets is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

As of June 30, 2024, the carrying amount of certain financial instruments used by the Company including cash, cash equivalents, other investments, receivables, payables and short-term loans are representative of fair value.

19.REGULATORY FRAMEWORK 

The main regulatory issues are described in Note 17 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023. As of the date of issuance of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, there were no additional developments except for the following:

Natural gas transportation transitional tariff increase

As a result of the public hearing hold on January 8, 2024, on March 26, 2024, tgs entered the 2024’s Transitional Agreement with the ENARGAS, which provides for a transitional 675% increase in natural gas transportation tariffs. This tariff increase came into effect on April 3, 2024, after Resolution No. 112/2024 (the “Resolution 112”) issued by ENARGAS was published in the Official Gazette. According to Resolution 112, as from May 2024 and until the RTI process is completed, tariffs are adjusted monthly according to the following formula (the "Transitional Adjustment Index"):

- 47.0% adjusted by the Wage Index - Registered Private Sector published by INDEC

- 27.2% adjusted by the Wholesale Price Index (“WPI”)

- 25.8% adjusted by the Construction Cost Index in Greater Buenos Aires - Materials chapter published by INDEC.

To this end, ENARGAS will issue the corresponding monthly resolution adjusting the tariff tables to be applied. On May 9, 2024, ENARGAS notified the licensee companies of the public natural gas transportation and distribution service of the postponement of the monthly tariff adjustment mentioned above.

On June 5, 2024, ENARGAS notified tgs that it will postpone the implementation of the tariff adjustment corresponding to the month of June 2024 and will also replace the monthly adjustment methodology planned for the months of July to December 2024 inclusive. According to the ENARGAS notification, the monthly tariff increase will be based on the expected inflation to be estimated by the Ministry of Economy for that period. The difference between the real and the estimated inflation will be considered in the RTI tariff calculation. According to the notification received, if the real inflation is higher or lower than the inflation estimated by the Ministry of Economy, this difference will be considered in the determination of the tariff resulting from the RTI process.

On July 1, ENARGAS once again informed the Company of the postponement of the monthly tariff increase, this time corresponding to the month of July, maintaining the tariff schedules in effect since April 3, 2024.

On August 1, 2024, ENARGAS issued Resolution No. 411/2024 by which, as of the following day, the new transition rate tables are put into effect, contemplating an increase of 4% on the rates in force at that time.

In addition, Resolution 112 provides that during 2024 the Company must execute an investment plan in the amount of Ps. 27,690 million (adjustable by the Transitional Adjustment Index). As of the date of this Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has submitted such investment plan, which is in the process of execution.

Request for License Extension

On June 19, 2024, ENARGAS issued a technical and legal report indicating that have broadly fulfilled our obligations regarding the License (the “License Report”). Based on the License Report and after a non-binding public hearing as required by Section 6 of the Natural Gas Law, the ENARGAS controller may submit a recommendation to the Executive Branch, which, in turn, may issue a decree granting the License within 120 days from the date of the recommendation.

The UT will remain in force until its purpose has been fulfilled, i.e., once the works involved in the Project have been completed and until the end of the guarantee period, set at 18 months from the provisional reception.

As a result of the situation of the economic context and the COVID mentioned in Note 1, the UT sent a letter to Integración Energética Argentina S.A. (“IEASA”), a company currently part of the Ministry of Productive Development, requesting, among other issues, the reestablishment of the economic-financial equation, readjustment of the work schedule, approval of cost redeterminations and price adjustments under the current legal regime.

On July 9, 2021, the UT and IEASA signed a restart order and a restart certificate for the works related to the Work, through which the work schedule was readjusted and IEASA also assumed the commitment to manage and join efforts to guarantee the cash flow in order to avoid new effects on the economic-financial structure of the contract for the Work, which would give rise to new requests -by the UT- for the recomposition of the economic-financial equation of the contract and the schedule of execution of the Work.
