Central Puerto (NYSE: CEPU) profit surges as it buys Piedra del Águila hydro asset

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Central Puerto S.A. reports strong results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, with revenues of ARS 343,563,818 thousand and net income of ARS 196,013,206 thousand, up from ARS 210,701,916 thousand and ARS 85,998,320 thousand a year earlier.

Earnings per share rose to ARS 125.04 from ARS 55.06, supported by higher spot and contracted power sales and strong contributions from financial assets and biological assets. Total assets reached ARS 3,978,852,628 thousand, with equity of ARS 2,726,605,844 thousand.

The company closed a major strategic move by acquiring 100% of the Piedra del Águila hydroelectric concession company for USD 245 million, securing a 30-year concession recognized as a new concession asset. This was accompanied by significant new financing, including a USD 300 million IFC facility and a USD 200 million bridge loan, increasing short-term borrowings. Central Puerto also changed its functional currency to the U.S. dollar and applies new IAS 21 hyperinflation translation rules, which limits direct comparison with prior-period figures.

Positive

• Profitability sharply higher: Net income reached ARS 196,013,206 thousand and EPS ARS 125.04 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, up from ARS 85,998,320 thousand and ARS 55.06 in the prior-year period.
• Strategic hydro acquisition: The company acquired 100% of the new concessionaire for the Piedra del Águila hydro complex for USD 245 million, securing a 30-year concession and expanding long-lived generation assets.

Negative

• Higher leverage from new financings: To fund the Piedra del Águila purchase and other projects, the company added a USD 300 million IFC facility, a USD 200 million bridge loan and other short-term borrowings, increasing total loans and borrowings to over ARS 745,110,828 thousand.

Insights

Equity analyst

Profit more than doubles with a large hydro asset acquisition financed by new debt.

Central Puerto delivered a sharp step-up in profitability, with revenue of ARS 343,563,818 thousand and net income of ARS 196,013,206 thousand, versus ARS 210,701,916 thousand and ARS 85,998,320 thousand a year earlier. EPS rose to ARS 125.04, helped by higher conventional and renewable generation margins, fair-value gains on financial assets, and income from biological assets.

On the strategic side, the group acquired 100% of the new concessionaire for the Piedra del Águila hydro complex for USD 245 million, obtaining a 30-year concession and recognizing a new concession asset of ARS 335,767,956 thousand. This materially increases its hydroelectric footprint and long-term contracted profile.

The transaction is debt-heavy: a USD 300 million IFC loan facility (partly for this deal and a storage project) and a USD 200 million bridge loan from Banco de Galicia underpin the funding, alongside new local and import-financing lines. Total loans and borrowings reached over ARS 745,110,828 thousand current and non-current. Future filings detailing amortization of the bridge loan and compliance with leverage covenants under these facilities will be important for understanding balance-sheet flexibility.

Key Terms

functional currency, hyperinflationary economy, Adjusted EBITDA, share buyback program, +2 more

6 terms

functional currency financial

"The Company has changed its functional currency from Argentine pesos to United States dollars (“USD”) effective as of January 1, 2026"

The functional currency is the single currency a company uses as its primary money for recording business transactions and preparing financial statements — think of it as the company's "home" currency or the money it budgets and measures performance in. It matters to investors because currency choices determine how foreign sales, costs and exchange-rate swings translate into reported revenue, profit and debt, affecting comparisons, risk assessments and valuation.

hyperinflationary economy financial

"IAS 21 requires that the financial statements of a subsidiary whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be restated in accordance with IAS 29"

An economy experiencing extremely fast and accelerating increases in prices where the local currency rapidly loses purchasing power; everyday items and services become far more expensive in a short time, like water gushing through a hole in a bucket. For investors this matters because it erodes the real value of cash, savings and fixed-income returns, distorts company financial statements and pricing, and often leads to currency controls, volatile asset prices and higher risk of defaults or losses.

Adjusted EBITDA financial

"Adjusted EBITDA (4)130,169,198 33,433,344 13,455,152 418,746 1,858,790 179,335,230"

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

share buyback program financial

"the Board of Directors has implemented several share buyback programs, ensuring in each case that treasury shares do not exceed the legal limit"

A share buyback program is when a company uses its cash to repurchase its own outstanding shares from the market, reducing the number of shares available to investors. That matters because it can raise the value of remaining shares and signal management's confidence in the business—similar to a bakery buying back unsold loafs to make each remaining loaf represent a larger share of its oven’s output—though buybacks can also affect cash available for other uses.

CVO Agreement financial

"CVO receivables are denominated in US dollars and accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 5%. Due to the discontinuation of the LIBOR rate"

concession agreement financial

"the National Government and PDAHA executed the Concession Agreement for the operation of the Piedra del Águila Hydroelectric Complex for a term of 30 years"

A concession agreement is a contract where a government or owner gives a company the right to operate, maintain, or exploit a public asset or service (like a road, port, or utility) for a set period in exchange for payments, investments, or sharing revenue. Think of it like renting and running a storefront on behalf of the property owner: the company collects income but must meet rules and invest in upkeep. For investors, these deals shape a firm’s long-term revenue, upfront costs, regulatory risk and cash-flow predictability.

The Group mainly carries out electric power generation activities. CPSA was incorporated pursuant to Executive Order No. 122/92 issued by the National Executive Branch, in accordance with Law No. 24,065, which declared the generation, transmission, distribution, and commercialization of electricity subject to full privatization. On April 1, 1992, the Awardee Consortium took possession of Central Puerto S.A., thereby initiating the operations of the new company. Our shares are listed on the BYMA (“Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos”), and, since February 2, 2018, they have been listed on the NYSE (“New York Stock Exchange”), both under the symbol “CEPU”. In order to carry out its electric power generation activity, the Group owns the following assets: – Our Puerto complex is composed of two facilities, Central Nuevo Puerto (“Nuevo Puerto”) and Central Puerto Nuevo (“Puerto Nuevo”), located in the port of the City of Buenos Aires.

In case of discrepancy, the consolidated financial statements filed with the CNV prevail over this translation CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. – Equity interests in the company’s Termoeléctrica José de San Martín S.A. (“TSM”) and Termoeléctrica Manuel Belgrano S.A. (“TMB”), which operate thermal generation plants with installed capacities of 865 MW and 873 MW, respectively, and in Central Vuelta de Obligado S.A. (“CVOSA”), whose purpose was the management of the construction and is currently the operation of a combined cycle power plant with an installed capacity of 816 MW. On July 19, 2018, the National Gas Regulatory Authority (Enargas) registered the Company in the Enargas Registry of Traders and Trading Agreements. Later, on March 22, 2024, the controlled company Puerto Energía S.A.U. was also registered as a natural gas trader in said registry, and on September 20, 2024, it was authorized to join the Wholesale Electricity Market (“MEM”) as a Commercial Participant. Through Proener S.A.U., a company fully controlled by CPSA, the Group participates in the forestry sector since Proener S.A.U. is the parent company of: a) Forestal Argentina S.A., which owns approximately 141,000 hectares in the provinces of Entre Ríos and Corrientes, of which approximately 67,000 hectares are planted with eucalyptus and pine, out of a total plantable area of approximately 77,500 hectares; and b) Loma Alta Forestal S.A., which owns approximately 19,400 hectares in the province of Corrientes, of which approximately 10,400 hectares are planted with pine. Also, the Group has begun to participate in the mining sector through an interest in the Diablillos silver and gold mining project located in northwestern Argentina and an interest in the Tres Cruces lithium mining project located in the province of Catamarca. Additionally, as from April 2026, the Group has begun to participate in the oil sector through CPSA’s investment in Patagonia Energy S.A. (see Note 11.2). Lastly, until September 30, 2025, the Group was linked to the natural gas distribution sector in the Cuyo and Central regions of Argentina through its equity investments in the associate companies belonging to the ECOGAS Group. The issuance of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 12, 2026. 1.1. Summary of the Argentine Electricity Market Transactions among different participants in the electricity industry take place through the Wholesale Electricity Market (“MEM”) which is a market in which generators, distributors and certain large users of electricity buy and sell electricity at prices determined by supply and demand (forward market) and also, where prices are established on an hourly basis based on the marginal cost of production, represented by the short-term marginal cost measured in the interconnected system (“Spot Market”). CAMMESA (Compañía Administradora del Mercado Mayorista Eléctrico Sociedad Anónima) is a quasi-governmental organization that was established to administer the MEM and functions as a clearinghouse for the different market participants operating in the MEM. Its main functions include the operation of the MEM, the dispatch of generation and the calculation of prices in the Spot Market, the real-time operation of the electricity system and the administration of commercial transactions in the electricity market. After the Argentine economic crisis in 2001 and 2002 and the end of the Convertibility Law, the costs of generators increased as a result of the Argentine peso devaluation. In addition, the price of fuel used for generation also increased. The increasing generation costs combined with the freezing of rates for the final -10 - English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”). In case of discrepancy, the consolidated financial statements filed with the CNV prevail over this translation CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. user decided at that time by the National Government led to a permanent deficit in CAMMESA’s accounts, which faced difficulties in paying generators for energy purchases. Due to this structural deficit, the Secretariat of Energy issued a series of regulations to keep the electricity market operating despite the deficit. During 2025, following the issuance of Presidential Decree No. 450/2025, amendments and modifications to Electricity Laws No. 15,336 and No. 24,065, which constitute the Electricity Regulatory Framework, were approved pursuant to the delegation established by the “Ley de Bases” (see Note 13). The delegation aimed to restore the objective of reducing the intervention of the National Government in the pricing and contracting system in order to provide greater freedom to private sector participants and enhanced legal certainty to ensure long-term energy supply. In addition, the federal electricity regime was strengthened by preserving the primacy of the national regulatory framework over local provisions, so as not to hinder the free circulation of energy. Accordingly, on October 20, 2025, the Secretariat of Energy issued Resolution No. 400/2025, which approved the “Rules for MEM Normalization and its Progressive Adaptation”, through which the amendments to the MEM regulatory framework set forth in Decree No. 450/2025 were implemented, effective as of November 1, 2025. The main objective of these rules was to reformulate the MEM in order to establish a pricing system based on marginal costs, decentralize fuel management and allow demand to contract its supply through the forward market (“MAT”). Provisions on Hydroelectric Power Plants As from July 11, 2023, through successive resolutions issued by the Secretariat of Energy (“SE”), the term to continue the operation of the Piedra del Águila Hydroelectric Power Plant was extended until January 8, 2026. On August 12, 2024, PEN Decree No. 718/2024 was published in the Official Gazette, which established that the Secretariat of Energy would call for a National and International Public Tender in order to proceed with the sale of the equity interests of the companies created for each of the hydroelectric power plants of the Comahue region. On August 20, 2025, Resolution No. 1200 of the Ministry of Economy was published, which initiated the sale of the equity interests of the following hydroelectric power plants: (i) Alicurá Hidroeléctrica Argentina S.A., (ii) El Chocón Hidroeléctrica Argentina S.A., (iii) Cerros Colorados Hidroeléctrica Argentina S.A. and (iv) Piedra del Águila Hidroeléctrica Argentina S.A. (“PDAHA”), and approved the bidding terms and conditions. Within the framework of the tender process, the Ministry of Economy awarded 100% of the shares of PDAHA (the new concessionaire company of the Piedra del Águila Hydroelectric Complex) to CPSA as sole shareholder for a total consideration of USD 245 million. Such amount was paid by CPSA on January 5 and 6, 2026. As a result thereof, and upon compliance with the requirements set forth in the tender process and in the share transfer agreement, on January 9, 2026: (a) the National Government transferred the shares of PDAHA to CPSA; (b) the National Government and PDAHA executed the Concession Agreement for the operation of the Piedra del Águila Hydroelectric Complex for a term of 30 years; and (c) PDAHA took possession of the Hydroelectric Complex. This transaction was recognized under the account “Piedra del Águila Hydroelectric Concession” in the consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2026. -11 - English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”). In case of discrepancy, the consolidated financial statements filed with the CNV prevail over this translation CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. 2. Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements 2.1. Professional accounting standards applied The Group prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the applicable regulations of the Argentine National Securities Commission (“CNV”) set forth in Chapter III, Title IV of the CNV Regulations (N.T. 2013 as amended). Under Article 1 of this section of the Regulations, issuers of marketable securities must present their condensed consolidated financial statements applying Technical Resolution 26 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”), which provides for the application of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), together with its amendments and IFRS adoption circulars that FACPCE may issue in accordance with such Technical Resolution. In particular, condensed interim financial statements must apply the International Accounting Standard 34 (“IAS 34”) “Interim Financial Reporting”. 2.2. Basis of presentation and consolidation These condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 have been prepared applying the financial reporting framework prescribed by the CNV as mentioned in note 2.1. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group has applied the main accounting policies and the significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions described in notes 2.3 and 2.4 to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, already issued, except for matters related to the definition of functional currency, as explained in Note 2.2.1, and those related to the application of IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all the information necessary for a proper understanding by users thereof of the relevant facts and transactions that occurred after the issuance of the last annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and up to the date of issuance of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. However, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information nor all the disclosures required for the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 1 (Presentation of financial statements). Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements must be read together with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Argentine pesos, which constitute the entity’s presentation currency, while its functional currency is the United States dollar. The process for translating the functional currency into the presentation currency is described in Note 2.2.1. All values have been rounded to the nearest thousand (ARS 000), except when otherwise indicated. 2.2.1. Functional currency The Company has changed its functional currency from Argentine pesos to United States dollars (“USD”) effective as of January 1, 2026, as a result of changes in the relevant facts and circumstances affecting its primary economic environment. In particular, the Company considered, among other factors, the modification in the regulatory framework applicable to the electricity market, established by Resolution No. 400/2025 issued by the Secretariat of Energy, which determines that a significant portion of its revenues is denominated in United States dollars. -12 - English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”). In case of discrepancy, the consolidated financial statements filed with the CNV prevail over this translation CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. Based on these factors, the Company concluded that, as of January 1, 2026, the United States dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The change in functional currency has been accounted for prospectively as from January 1, 2026, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (“IAS 21”). 2.2.2. Presentation currency and translation basis In accordance with Argentine National Securities Commission (“CNV”) General Resolution (“GR”) No. 562, the Group is required to present its financial statements in Argentine pesos as its presentation currency. On the other hand, on November 13, 2025, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency – Amendments to IAS 21 (the “Amendments”). The Amendments are intended to improve the usefulness of the resulting information in a cost-effective manner. The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, but may be applied earlier. In this regard, the Group has elected to apply them early during 2026. The Amendments indicate that if an entity’s functional currency is the currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy, but its presentation currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, paragraph 41A of amended IAS 21 requires that its results and financial position be translated into the presentation currency by translating all amounts (i.e., assets, liabilities, equity items, income and expenses) at the closing exchange rate at the date of the most recent statement of financial position. Accordingly, and as a result of the change in functional currency described in Note 2.2.1, the condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2026 prepared in the Group’s functional currency were translated into the presentation currency using the exchange rate as of March 31, 2026, ARS 1,382 per USD 1, for: – all assets, liabilities, income and expenses; and – all equity items, except for “Capital stock – Face value” and “Capital stock – Treasury shares”, which were maintained in historical Argentine pesos, and the effects of the translation were recognized in the “Adjustment to capital stock” and “Comprehensive adjustment of treasury shares” accounts in the consolidated statement of changes in equity, respectively. As mentioned in Note 2.4, comparative financial information as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 is expressed in the currency of purchasing power as of December 2025 and March 2025, respectively. 2.2.3. Effects of the translation of investments in subsidiaries with a functional currency corresponding to a hyperinflationary economy IAS 21 requires that the financial statements of a subsidiary whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be restated in accordance with IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” before being included in the separate financial statements of its parent whose functional currency is that of a non-hyperinflationary economy. In accordance with the aforementioned guidelines, the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and equity items of subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Argentine peso were translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the closing date of these financial statements. -13 - English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”). In case of discrepancy, the consolidated financial statements filed with the CNV prevail over this translation CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. 2.3. Foreign currency transactions and balances The Group considers as foreign currency transactions all those transactions that have been carried out in a currency other than its functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of any transaction and from the translation at the closing exchange rate of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, unless they are capitalized. 2.4. Comparative information Comparative information as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 is presented as it was included in the financial statements for such year / period. As a result, such comparative information as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 is expressed in currency of purchasing power as of December 2025 and March 2025, respectively. Circumstances such as the change in functional currency mentioned in Note 2.2.1 and those described in the preceding paragraph limit the comparability of the balances as of March 31, 2026 with the corresponding balances as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025. In Note 2.2.2 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, already issued, the effects of the application of IAS 29 up to that date are disclosed. 2.5. Changes in significant accounting policies New standards and interpretations adopted As from the year beginning on January 1, 2026, the Group has applied for the first time certain new and/or amended standards and interpretations as issued by the IASB. In this regard, as mentioned in Note 2.2.2 above, the Company has decided to apply the Amendments to IAS 21 described therein early. Below is a brief description of the new and/or amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Group and their impact on these consolidated financial statements: Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments — Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 In May 2024, the IASB issued the Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (the “Amendments”). The Amendments include: – The clarification that financial liabilities should be derecognized on the “settlement date” and the inclusion of an accounting policy option (provided that specific conditions are met) to derecognize financial liabilities settled through an electronic payment system before the settlement date. – Additional guidance on how to assess the contractual cash flows of financial assets with environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) features and similar features. -14 - English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”). In case of discrepancy, the consolidated financial statements filed with the CNV prevail over this translation CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. – Clarifications regarding what is included in the term “non-recourse features” and what constitutes the features of contractually linked instruments. – The introduction of disclosures about financial instruments with contingent features and additional disclosure requirements for equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI). The Amendments have not had a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11 In July 2024, the IASB issued nine limited-scope amendments as part of its periodic maintenance of IFRS Accounting Standards. The amendments include clarifications, simplifications, corrections or changes intended to improve the consistency of IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures and its related Implementation Guidance, IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, and IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments have not had a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Nature-dependent electricity contracts – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 In December 2024, the IASB issued the Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Nature-dependent electricity contracts. The Amendments apply only to nature-dependent electricity contracts and: – Clarify the application of the “own use” requirements for contracts within the scope. – Modify the designation requirements for a hedged item in a cash flow hedge relationship for contracts within the scope. – Introduce new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on the entity’s financial performance and cash flows. The Amendments have not had a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. -15 - English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”).

Loan from Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. to the subsidiary Puerto Energías Renovables S.A.U. (formerly Vientos La Genoveva II S.A.U.) On July 23, 2019, the subsidiary Puerto Energías Renovables S.A.U. (formerly Vientos La Genoveva II S.A.U.) (hereinafter, “PERSAU”) entered into a loan agreement with Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. for an amount of USD 37.5 million. According to the terms of the agreement, the loan accrued interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 5.95%. Due to the discontinuation of the LIBOR rate on June 30, 2023, PERSAU and Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. executed an amendment to the loan agreement on July 21, 2023, whereby the interest rate was changed to SOFR plus a fixed CAS of 0.42826%, effective as of July 24, 2023. The loan is amortizable quarterly in 26 installments, starting from the ninth calendar month following the disbursement date. Under this loan agreement, the subsidiary PERSAU had committed to maintain: (i) a financial debt to EBITDA ratio below 3.75 until the end of June 2025 and 2.25 thereafter, and (ii) an EBITDA to financial debt service ratio above 1.00 until the end of June 2025 and 1.10 thereafter, both until full repayment of the outstanding amounts. On June 18, 2025, following the amendment granted by Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. in connection with the merger by absorption of CPRES, CP Manque S.A.U. and CP Los Olivos S.A.U., PERSAU committed to maintain: (i) a financial debt to EBITDA ratio below 3.75 and (ii) an EBITDA to financial debt service ratio above 1.00, both until full repayment of the outstanding amounts. Finally, there are certain -24 - English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”). In case of discrepancy, the consolidated financial statements filed with the CNV prevail over this translation CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. requirements that the subsidiary must meet in order to distribute dividends. As of March 31, 2026, the subsidiary has complied with the aforementioned requirements. On May 24, 2019, CPRES (a company now absorbed by PERSAU) entered into a loan agreement with Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. for an amount of USD 12.5 million to finance the construction of the “La Castellana II” wind farm. According to the terms of the agreement, the loan accrues a fixed interest rate of 8.5% during the first year, increasing by half a percentage point annually until the sixty-first interest period, and is amortizable quarterly in 25 installments starting May 24, 2020. Under the loan agreement, the subsidiary CPRES had committed to maintain certain financial ratios until full repayment of the outstanding amounts. As a result of the corporate reorganization through which CPRES was absorbed by PERSAU, as from June 18, 2025, the ratios to be complied with are those previously mentioned in connection with the loan granted to PERSAU. Furthermore, as collateral for the obligations assumed, the subsidiary PERSAU maintained first-ranking pledges over the financed assets in favor of Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. On January 26, 2026, PERSAU and Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. agreed to cancel the pledges related to both financings, considering that as of that date only two installments remained for the full repayment of the loans. The cancellation of both pledges took place on February 1, 2026 and March 5, 2026, respectively. Other related agreements and documents, such as the surety (the “Fianza”), under which CPSA fully, unconditionally, and irrevocably guaranteed, as principal debtor, all payment obligations assumed by PERSAU and CPRES until full repayment of the guaranteed obligations or until the project reaches its project compliance date, whichever occurs first, share pledge agreements, turbine pledge agreements, direct agreements, and promissory notes have been executed. On September 3, 2021, PERSAU and CPRES fulfilled all the requirements and conditions necessary to certify the occurrence of the project compliance date, and therefore the Fianza granted by the Company was released. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of these loans amounted to 6,003,408 and 9,378,822, respectively. 7.3.5. Financial trust corresponding to Thermal Station Brigadier López Within the framework of the acquisition of the Thermal Station Brigadier López, the Company assumed the role of settlor under the financial trust previously entered into by Integración Energética Argentina S.A., which was the former owner of the plant. The financial debt balance at the transfer date of the plant was USD 154,662,725. In accordance with the provisions of the trust agreement, the financial debt accrued an interest rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 5% or equal to 6.25%, whichever was greater, and was amortized monthly. On April 5, 2022, the outstanding balance was fully repaid. Under the financial trust agreement, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there are trade receivables with specific assignment amounting to 845,598 and 884,757, respectively. During December 2024, CPSA initiated arbitration proceedings before the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange to recover the amounts corresponding to the reserve fund and proceed with the subsequent dissolution of the -25 - English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”). In case of discrepancy, the consolidated financial statements filed with the CNV prevail over this translation CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. financial trust. In April 2026, the Company was notified of the arbitration award issued by the tribunal, which upheld CPSA’s claim, ordering the reimbursement to CPSA of the amounts held in the reserve fund, adjusted at an annual interest rate of 6%, plus costs. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the final settlement of the amounts involved is still pending. 7.3.6. CPSA Notes Program On July 31, 2020, the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company approved the creation of a new global program for the issuance of notes for a maximum outstanding amount at any time during the term of the program of USD 500,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies), to be issued as short-, medium- or long-term notes, simple, non-convertible into shares, under the terms of the Negotiable Obligations Law (the “Program”). Additionally, the Board of Directors was granted authority to determine and establish the conditions of the Program and of the negotiable obligations to be issued under it, insofar as such conditions were not expressly determined by the shareholders’ meeting. On October 29, 2020, the CNV approved the creation of the aforementioned Program.

CPSA´s Share Buyback Programs Considering the volatility of the market and the divergence between the Company's share price and the current economic reality of its assets or their future potential, which is detrimental to the interests of the Company's shareholders, and taking into account the Company's strong cash position and availability of funds, the Board of Directors has implemented several share buyback programs, ensuring in each case that treasury shares do not exceed the legal limit of 10% of the issued share capital. On October 13, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the creation of a share buyback program for the acquisition of the Company’s own shares for a maximum amount of up to USD 10,000,000 and for a period of 180 consecutive days. This program expired on April 11, 2023. Under this program, the Group repurchased 252,034 shares with a nominal value of $1 for a total amount of 254,501. See Note 9. On August 24, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the creation of a new share buyback program for the acquisition of the Company’s own shares for a maximum amount of up to USD 10,000,000 and for a period of 180 consecutive days. This program expired on February 20, 2024. Under this program, the Group repurchased 2,299,993 shares with a nominal value of $1 for a total amount of 4,754,693. The deadline for the disposal of these shares, in accordance with the Capital Markets Law, expires on October 11, 2026. On September 25, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the creation of a new share buyback program for the acquisition of the Company’s own shares, in accordance with applicable regulations, for a maximum amount of up to USD 20,000,000 and for a period of 180 consecutive days. This program expired on March 24, 2026. Under this program, the Group repurchased 2,756,000 shares with a nominal value of $1 for a total amount of 3,762,901. The deadline for the disposal of these shares, in accordance with the Capital Markets Law, expires on October 17, 2028. The transactions carried out under these programs were recorded as acquisitions of treasury shares in accordance with IAS 32 and applicable CNV regulations; therefore, the consideration paid for such shares was recognized directly in equity. 7.3.8. Mitsubishi Corporation Loan On November 29, 1996, Central Costanera S.A. signed a contract with Mitsubishi Corporation for the installation of a turnkey combined cycle power plant. The original agreement included financing of USD 192.5 million for 12 years from the provisional acceptance of the project, with a fixed annual interest rate of 7.42% and semiannual amortization of principal and interest. On October 27, 2014, Central Costanera S.A. and Mitsubishi Corporation agreed to the restructuring of such liability.

The loan includes certain financial covenants, which as of March 31, 2026, have been fully complied with by Central Costanera S.A. Moreover, as a guarantee of the obligations undertaken, Central Costanera S.A. -27 - English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”).

(see Note 1.1) and part of the battery energy storage project at the Nuevo Puerto power plant (see Note 1.2.r of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, already issued). In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the loan accrues an interest rate equal to SOFR plus 4.00% or SOFR plus 4.15%, depending on the tranche. The term of the loan ranges between 7 and 9 years depending on the tranche and includes a 2-year grace period and quarterly amortizations. Upon execution of the financing agreement, certain structuring and syndication costs became due, amounting to USD 5,720,000. Such amount was paid in January and February 2026. As from January 2, 2026, this loan accrues a 1% commitment fee, calculated on the undisbursed balances. CPSA has committed to maintain an “Adjusted Interest Coverage Ratio” of at least 2.00:1.00 and a Net Financial Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio (as defined in the loan agreement) not exceeding 3.00:1.00, measured quarterly on a consolidated last twelve months basis. Additionally, the loan agreement establishes other customary obligations and restrictions for financings of this type, which include, among others: (i) certain limitations on consolidations, mergers and asset sales; (ii) restrictions on incurrence of additional indebtedness; (iii) limitations on dividend payments; (iv) limitations on capital expenditures; and (v) restrictions on the creation of liens. Both compliance with the financial ratios and the other obligations and restrictions become applicable once disbursements are received. Subsequent to the end of the period, on April 16, 2026, the Company received a first disbursement of USD 50 million under the aforementioned loan. Additionally, on January 5, 2026, the Company entered into a bridge loan agreement with Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. for an amount of USD 200 million, at an interest rate of 5% per annum and for a term of 180 days from the disbursement date, which was disbursed on January 6, 2026.

Quantitative and qualitative information on fair values Valuation techniques The fair value reported for financial assets represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a regular transaction between mutually consenting parties, and not in a forced or liquidation transaction. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values: Management has assessed that the fair values of current trade receivables approximate their carrying amounts, largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Group assesses long-term receivables at fixed and variable rates based on discounted cash flows. The valuation requires that the Group adopt certain assumptions such as interest rates, specific risk factors of each transaction and the creditworthiness of the customer. The fair value of quoted debt securities, mutual funds, equity instruments and corporate bonds is based on the quoted prices as of the reporting period end date. The fair value of interest-bearing debts and loans approximates their carrying amount.

Equity reserves On April 30, 2025, the Company’s Shareholders’ Meeting approved an increase in the legal reserve in the amount of 2,721,366 and resolved to allocate the remaining unappropriated earnings as of December 31, 2024 to increase the voluntary reserve for dividend payments, based on the evolution of the Company’s financial condition and in accordance with its current dividend distribution policy.

In case of discrepancy, the consolidated financial statements filed with the CNV prevail over this translation CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. each granting one vote, were automatically cancelled. Such cancellation, as required by applicable regulations, was due to the fact that, after the lapse of a three-year period from their acquisition (carried out between October 20 and November 23, 2022), such treasury shares remained in portfolio without having been disposed of or subject to a shareholders’ resolution as to their use. As a result, the Company’s share capital was automatically reduced by an amount equal to the nominal value of the cancelled shares, resulting in a new share capital of 1,513,770, represented by 1,513,770,222 ordinary shares, each with one vote and a nominal value of $1. In this regard, on May 6, 2026, the CNV resolved to partially cancel the public offering authorization with respect to 252,034 shares as a result of the share capital reduction described above. Accordingly, following such cancellation, CPSA’s share capital authorized for public offering amounts to 1,513,770, represented by 1,513,770,222 registered, book-entry ordinary shares, each granting one vote and with a nominal value of $1. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, this capital reduction is pending registration with the Public Registry. The effects of the cancellation of these shares were presented in the statement of changes in equity included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, already issued, within the accounts “Capital stock – Treasury shares”, “Comprehensive adjustment of treasury shares”, “Cost of treasury shares”, with the difference recognized in “Unappropriated retained earnings”.

This adjustment will only be applicable (a) if the cumulative variation of the consumer price index (“IPC”) during the 36 months prior to the closing of the fiscal year is higher than 100%, and (b) for the first, second, and third fiscal years commencing on or after its entry into force, if the accumulated IPC variation exceeds 100% by 55%, 30% or 15%, respectively. The positive or negative tax inflation adjustment, depending on the case, corresponding to the first, second and third fiscal years commencing from January 1, 2018, which must be calculated in case the conditions mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) are met, shall be allocated one-sixth in that fiscal year and the remaining five-sixths, in equal parts over the five immediately following fiscal years. As of December 31, 2019 and during the following fiscal years, such conditions had already been met. Consequently, the current and deferred income tax has been recognized as from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, incorporating the effects derived from the application of the tax inflation adjustment in accordance with the provisions of the income tax law. 13. Measures in the Argentine economy On December 10, 2023, new government authorities took office and issued a series of measures, whose main objectives included: regulatory flexibility for economic development, reducing various expenses with the aim of reducing the fiscal deficit, reduction of subsidies, among others. In the context of the new government, in December 2023, a significant devaluation of the Argentine peso occurred, reflected in the official exchange rate. From 2024 onwards, the national government has taken actions to achieve fiscal balance, which allowed it to achieve, in a short period of time, a primary and financial surplus in relation to Gross Domestic Product, and to initiate a process of deceleration of inflation. Passing of Law No. 27,742 “Law of Bases” On June 28, 2024, Law No. 27,742 (“Law of Bases”) was enacted, which came into force after its promulgation by the Executive Branch. In the field of energy, the Bases Law modifies laws that form the regulatory framework of hydrocarbons, natural gas, biofuels, electricity, among others. These changes are intended to reconfigure the relationship between the State and the market, with the objective of granting greater prominence to private initiative in order to improve competitiveness and maximize the income obtained. In this regard, the Bases Law empowers the Executive Branch to modify Law No. 15,336 on Electric Energy and Law No. 24,065 on the Regulatory Framework of Electric Energy, which must ensure the following bases: – The free international trade of electricity. – The free commercialization, competition and expansion of markets, and the possibility for end users to choose their supplier. -35 - English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”). In case of discrepancy, the consolidated financial statements filed with the CNV prevail over this translation CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. – The explicit identification of the different concepts payable by end users. – The development of electricity transportation infrastructure through open, transparent, efficient and competitive mechanisms. – The review of the administrative structures of the electricity sector, modernizing and professionalizing them. The Law of Bases merges the gas and electricity regulators (ENRE and Enargas) into a single National Gas and Electricity Regulatory Entity, which will have the same functions. In this regard, on July 7, 2025, the Executive Branch issued Decree No. 452/2025, through which said entity was constituted. Foreign exchange market Since December 2019, the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) had issued a series of communications indefinitely extending foreign exchange regulations, which included controls on exports and imports, as well as the requirement for prior BCRA authorization to access the foreign exchange market for the remittance of profits and dividends abroad, among other restrictions. In particular, the refinancing of foreign financial debt under certain conditions was required. The effects of these regulations on the Group’s loans as of March 31, 2026, are described in Note 7.3.8. Following the inauguration of the new national government on December 10, 2023, restrictions on payments for imports cleared through customs as from December 13, 2023 were eased, although some of the BCRA-imposed restrictions on access to the Single and Free Exchange Market (MULC) and foreign exchange operations remained in place. Subsequently, on April 11, 2025, the national government implemented a set of measures aimed at easing the regulatory framework governing access to the MULC. These measures included: (i) the establishment of a band scheme for the determination of the exchange rate within which the U.S. dollar may fluctuate in the MULC; the initial band was set between 1,000 and 1,400 pesos, with its limits adjusted at a monthly rate of 1%; (ii) the elimination of the program that allowed the settlement of export proceeds using a split mechanism of 80% through the MULC and 20% through the financial market; (iii) the relaxation of access of individuals to the MULC for the purchase of foreign currency, subject to the requirements and conditions established by the BCRA, as well as the maintenance and/or adjustment of certain cross restrictions with securities transactions settled in foreign currency, whether directly or indirectly or on behalf of third parties, and the elimination of the tax surcharge applicable to the purchase of foreign currency in the MULC (while maintaining it for tourism and credit card payments); (iv) the authorization for Argentine companies to distribute dividends to foreign shareholders for fiscal years beginning in 2025; (v) a relaxation of payment terms for foreign trade transactions; and (vi) specific adjustments regarding certain restrictions on access to the MULC applicable to legal entities, in order to allow such entities to resume access to the MULC under normal conditions. As from January 1, 2026, the BCRA established that the upper and lower limits of the exchange rate band scheme will be adjusted monthly based on the most recently published inflation data, with the objective of mitigating episodes of excessive volatility in the foreign exchange market, while allowing the exchange rate to fluctuate within the bands according to market conditions. -36 - English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”). In case of discrepancy, the consolidated financial statements filed with the CNV prevail over this translation CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. Income Tax On June 16, 2021, the Argentine Executive Branch enacted Law No. 27,630, which established changes in the corporate income tax rate for fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 2021. This law establishes payment of the tax based on a structure of staggered rates depending on the level of accumulated taxable net income. The threshold amounts in this scale will be annually adjusted, considering the annual variation of the consumer price index provided by the INDEC corresponding to October of the year prior to the adjustment compared with the same month of the previous year. For fiscal year 2025 the applicable scale is the following: 25% up to an accumulated taxable net income of 101.7 million pesos, 30% for the excess of such amount up to 1,016.8 million pesos, and 35% for the excess of such amount. Meanwhile, for fiscal year 2026 the applicable scale is the following: 25% up to an accumulated taxable net income of 133.5 million pesos, 30% for the excess of such amount up to 1,335.1 million pesos, and 35% for the excess of such amount. Investment Promotion Plan In order to boost the productive structure while generating employment and fiscal resources, the national government has implemented during 2024 the “Large Investment Incentive Regime” (RIGI), established under the Law of Bases, which will grant tax benefits, access to foreign currency for imports, and, under certain conditions, allow the remittance of profits to investment projects submitted and approved in certain strategic sectors capable of generating exports in the medium and long term. 14. Restrictions on income distribution Pursuant to the General Companies Law and the Bylaws, 5% of the profits of the fiscal year must be assigned to the statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 20% of the Company’s Capital Stock. The profits distributed to individuals residing in Argentina or abroad, and to foreign legal entities, are subject to a withholding of 7% as a dividend tax, provided that such profits correspond to fiscal years closed after December 31, 2017. Pursuant to the General Companies Law and CNV regulations, since the disposal of treasury shares must be made with realized and liquid profits or free reserves, while such shares are held in treasury there is a restriction on the distribution of unappropriated retained earnings or free reserves for an amount equivalent to their cost. In addition, certain loan agreements establish requirements for the distribution of dividends (see Notes 7.3.1, 7.3.3, 7.3.4, 7.3.8 and 7.3.9). 15. Guarantees granted In guarantee of the performance of the obligations arising from the concession agreement of the Piedra del Águila Hydroelectric Complex entered into on January 9, 2026 (see Note 1.1), the Company has pledged in favor of the National State all Class “A” shares of PDAHA, representing 51% of the share capital of such company, for the entire 30-year concession term granted to PDAHA. On March 19, 2009, the Group entered into a pledge agreement with the Secretariat of Energy to secure its obligations in favor of the FONINVEMEM trusts under the operation and maintenance agreement of the Timbúes and Manuel Belgrano power plants, whereby it pledged 100% of the shares in TSM and TMB. -37 - English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”).

Additionally, the shares acquired by the Group in Central Costanera S.A. are subject to a pledge, and the Group is carrying out the necessary procedures to cancel it. In turn, the Group has entered into exchange-traded collateral transactions (“cauciones bursátiles”), which are financial transactions secured by short-term negotiable securities denominated in local currency. Furthermore, the Group has granted guarantees for the performance of the agreements described in Notes 1.2.a) and 18.3 to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, already issued, and in Notes 7.3.1, 7.3.3 and 7.3.8. 16.
