Market Background and Outlook
Although oil and gas prices remain volatile amidst contrasting near-term oversupply and geopolitical concerns, oil and gas companies are looking at a resilient longer-term demand outlook and the need to replace production declines as they advance their investment plans. Drilling activity in the United States and Canada is expected to remain near current levels after the modest decline seen in the second half of 2025. In the rest of the world, we do not expect major changes compared to current activity levels in the near term.
In the United States, despite the increase in tariffs on imported steel products, OCTG prices are still around the same level as before the application of the tariffs. We expect that they will eventually respond to the tariffs on imports and the increases in raw material costs for domestic producers.
For the first quarter of 2026, we expect our sales and margins to remain close to current levels.
Annual Dividend Proposal
Upon approval of the Company´s annual accounts, the board of directors intends to propose, for approval of the annual general shareholders’ meeting to be held on May 12, 2026, the payment of a dividend per share of

Our results in 2025 showed the resilience of our operations in the face of lower drilling activity in key markets including the United States, Canada, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. In particular, our sales in North America were supported by the ongoing consolidation in the oil and gas sector and the value that our US and Canadian customers attribute to our Rig Direct® service model, which more than compensated for the decline in activity in Mexico. Our margins were also resilient as we responded to the challenge of the tariffs imposed on our imports of steel bars and pipes into the United States, and we maintained our earnings per share with the benefit of our buyback program.

Exhibit I – Alternative performance measures
Alternative performance measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
EBITDA, Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
EBITDA provides an analysis of the operating results excluding depreciation and amortization and impairments, as they are recurring non-cash variables which can vary substantially from company to company depending on accounting policies and the accounting value of the assets. EBITDA is an approximation to pre-tax operating cash flow and reflects cash generation before working capital variation. EBITDA is widely used by investors when evaluating businesses (multiples valuation), as well as by rating agencies and creditors to evaluate the level of debt, comparing EBITDA with net debt.
EBITDA is calculated in the following manner:
EBITDA = Net income for the period + Income tax charges +/- Equity in Earnings (losses) of non-consolidated companies +/- Financial results + Depreciation and amortization +/- Impairment charges/(reversals).
EBITDA is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.
