In the third quarter, our sales of tubular products and services held up remarkably well as our Rig Direct® customers in US and Canada maintained a more stable level of activity than the rest of the market and we were able to complete some shipments ahead of schedule in the Middle East. Our sales in our Argentine fracking and coiled tubing services unit, however, were affected by a temporary lack of activity. Our margins also held up well although they still do not reflect the full impact of recent tariff increases.

Market Background and Outlook
Oil prices have softened as inventories and production from OPEC+ countries, deepwater and shale plays across the Americas increase, but remain volatile amidst a high level of geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Although there has been some reduction in oil drilling in recent months in the United States, Canada and Saudi Arabia, overall drilling activity remains resilient as operators focus on the longer-term outlook and reducing operational costs.
In the United States, following the increase in tariffs on imports of steel products from
In Argentina, the results of the mid-term congressional elections may reduce uncertainty and improve financing conditions for the further development of the Vaca Muerta shale play.
For the fourth quarter, we expect our sales to remain close to the level of the third quarter, but our costs and margins will be affected by the full impact of the 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.

| EBITDA | 753,472 | 688,221 | 2,182,527 | 2,325,545 |
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 | 132,871 | 373,141 | 1,317,726 | 1,861,904 |
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.
