Tenaris Announces 2025 Second Quarter Results
Rhea-AI Summary
Tenaris (NYSE:TS) reported its Q2 2025 financial results, showing sequential growth but year-over-year declines. Net sales reached $3.09 billion, up 6% from Q1 2025 but down 7% from Q2 2024. The company achieved an EBITDA of $733 million with a 23.7% margin.
Key financial metrics include net income of $542 million (up 5% sequentially) and earnings per ADS of $0.99. The company maintained a strong financial position with $3.7 billion in net cash after distributing $600 million in dividends and spending $237 million on share buybacks.
For the outlook, Tenaris expects a moderate decline in sales for H2 2025 due to lower drilling activity and reduced line pipe project contributions. The recent increase in U.S. steel tariffs from 25% to 50% is expected to reduce OCTG imports and potentially increase prices.

Market Background and Outlook
Oil prices have softened as OPEC+ accelerates the unwinding of its 2.2 Mb/d voluntary production cuts and demand growth is subdued amidst a high level of economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Drilling activity, however, has remained relatively resilient, although there has been some reduction in oil drilling in the United States, Canada and Saudi Arabia. Mexico, with the recent financing of Pemex, may start to recover some activity after its extended decline.
Following the recent increase in tariffs on imports of steel products from
For the second half, as anticipated in our last conference call, our sales will show a moderate decline compared to the first half reflecting lower drilling activity and a lower contribution from line pipe projects. Our margins will also be affected by the recent increase in tariff costs.

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.

| Financial Results | (31,663) | (57,183) | (66,921) | (32,421) |

| EBITDA | 732,736 | 650,218 | 1,429,055 | 1,637,324 |
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is a measure of financial performance, calculated as operating cash flow less capital expenditures. FCF represents the cash that a company is able to generate after spending the money required to maintain or expand its asset base.
Free cash flow is calculated in the following manner:
Free cash flow = Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities - Capital expenditures.
Free cash flow is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

| Free cash flow | 537,693 | 773,883 | 1,184,855 | 1,488,763 |
Net Cash / (Debt)
This is the net balance of cash and cash equivalents, other current investments and fixed income investments held to maturity less total borrowings. It provides a summary of the financial solvency and liquidity of the company. Net cash / (debt) is widely used by investors and rating agencies and creditors to assess the company’s leverage, financial strength, flexibility and risks.
Net cash/ debt is calculated in the following manner:
Net cash = Cash and cash equivalents + Other investments (Current and Non-Current)+/- Derivatives hedging borrowings and investments - Borrowings (Current and Non-Current).
Net cash/debt is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.
