Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Central Puerto S.A. (CEPU) reported consolidated net income of ARS 326,656,429 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, up from ARS 109,425,051 thousand a year earlier. Revenues grew to ARS 783,613,662 thousand from ARS 689,133,441 thousand, driven mainly by higher spot market and contracted power sales, while operating income rose to ARS 312,306,891 thousand.

The company generated operating cash flow of ARS 218,203,942 thousand and continued to invest heavily, with capital expenditures and financial asset purchases pushing investing cash flow to a negative ARS 243,948,431 thousand. Equity attributable to shareholders increased to ARS 2,371,016,808 thousand, supported by higher retained earnings and despite a spin-off of its ECOGAS gas distribution interests and ongoing share buyback programs. Central Puerto also expanded its renewable footprint through the acquisition of the 80 MW Cafayate solar farm and won two battery storage projects totaling 205 MW.

  • Nine-month net income rose to ARS 326,656,429 thousand from ARS 109,425,051 thousand, with earnings per share reaching ARS 215.33 versus ARS 66.97 a year earlier.

Insights

CEPU shows sharply higher earnings, active capital deployment, and balance-sheet strength.

Central Puerto S.A. delivered strong results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with net income of ARS 326,656,429 thousand versus ARS 109,425,051 thousand a year earlier. Revenue increased to ARS 783,613,662 thousand, and operating income reached ARS 312,306,891 thousand, supported by higher spot market and contracted generation and solid contributions from financial assets measured at fair value.

Margins benefited from controlled operating costs relative to revenue growth and a much lower effective income tax charge, while finance expenses of ARS 181,830,573 thousand and loss on net monetary position partly offset these gains. Equity attributable to shareholders rose to ARS 2,371,016,808 thousand, and leverage remains moderate with total liabilities of ARS 1,227,245,394 thousand against total assets of ARS 3,655,508,178 thousand.

Strategically, CEPU is reshaping its portfolio: it spun off its ECOGAS gas distribution interests, booked share of profit from associates of ARS 55,279,768 thousand, acquired the 80 MW Cafayate solar farm, and won 205 MW of battery storage projects under the AlmaGBA call. Net cash from operating activities of ARS 218,203,942 thousand and the CPSA notes program, including new Class C issuances, provide funding capacity for these projects. Subsequent disclosures on the performance of Cafayate and the awarded storage assets will clarify how these moves translate into future earnings and cash flows.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025

 

1.        Corporate information and main business

 

Central Puerto S.A. (hereinafter the “Company”, or “CPSA”) and the companies that make up the business group (hereinafter the “Group”) form an integrated group of companies related to the energy sector. The Group is mainly engaged in the generation of electric power.

 

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 our electric energy generation activity the Group owns the following assets:

 

The thermal power plants Puerto Nuevo and Nuevo Puerto, located in the City of Buenos Aires, with a total installed thermal capacity of 1,747 MW, including a combined cycle plant and steam turbine units.

Equity interests in Termoeléctrica José de San Martín S.A. (“TSM”) and Termoeléctrica Manuel Belgrano S.A. (“TMB”), which operate thermal generation plants with an installed capacity of 865 MW and 873 MW, respectively, and in the company Central Vuelta de Obligado S.A. (“CVOSA”), whose purpose was to manage the construction and currently the operation of a combined cycle power plant, with a capacity of 816 MW.

 

In 2022, under Resolution MEyM No. 281/2017, the Group was awarded the “Parque Solar San Carlos” project, with a capacity of 10 MW, currently under construction in San Carlos, Salta Province.

 

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 Entre Ríos and Corrientes provinces, 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 Corrientes province, of which approximately 10,400 hectares are planted with pine.

 

Also, the Group has begun to participate in the mining sector through an equity interest in the Diablillos silver and gold mining project located in northwestern Argentina and an equity interest in the Tres Cruces lithium mining project located in the province of Catamarca.

 

Lastly, 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. See Note 11.2.

 

The issuance of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on November 10, 2025.

 

1.1. Summary of the Argentine Electricity Market

 

Transactions among the different participants in the electricity industry take place through the wholesale electricity market (“WEM”) which is a market in which generators, distributors and large users of electricity buy and sell electricity at prices determined by supply and demand (“Term Market”) and also, where prices are established on an hourly basis based on production cost, represented by the short-term marginal cost measured in the interconnection system (“Spot Market”). CAMMESA (Compañía Administradora del Mercado Mayorista Eléctrico Sociedad Anónima) is a quasi-governmental organization that was established to administer the WEM and functions as a clearing house for the different market participants operating in the WEM. Its main functions include the operation of the WEM, the dispatch of generation, 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 after the end of the Convertibility Law, generation costs increased as a result of the Argentine peso devaluation. In addition, the price of fuels used for power generation increased as well. The increasing generation costs, combined with the freezing of end-user tariffs decided at the time by the administration, led to a permanent deficit in CAMMESA’s accounts, and therefore it faced difficulties to pay generators for energy purchases. Due to this structural deficit, the Secretariat of Energy enacted a series of regulations to keep the electricity system operating despite the deficit.

c) Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 21/2025

 

On January 28, 2025, Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 21/2025 was published in the Official Gazette, establishing that new conventional energy generation projects, commercially commissioned as of January 1, 2025, may enter into supply contracts in the Term Market with Large Users and Distributors. Additionally, Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 354/2020 was repealed, modifying certain considerations of the GasAr Plan and the priorities for natural gas consumption in the Wholesale Electricity Market. It was also established that as of March 1, 2025, generators selling their energy in the Spot Market may purchase their fuel, which will be recognized by CAMMESA according to the variable production cost declared and recognized by the generator. The cost of unserved energy in the MEM was also set, with a maximum value of 1,500 USD/MWh when it exceeds 10% of the system demand. Finally, the Energía Plus Program was repealed, with existing contracts remaining in effect until their termination.

 

d) Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 67/2025

 

On February 17, 2025, Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 67/2025 was published in the Official Gazette, through which the National and International Open Call “Almacenamiento AlmaGBA” was authorized, with the purpose of entering into energy storage generation contracts with MEM distributor agents Edenor and Edesur, and with CAMMESA as the last-resort payment guarantor, in accordance with the bidding terms and conditions approved by this resolution.

 

This new energy storage system will allow coverage of short-duration capacity requirements and provide fast-response reserve services, as evidenced by battery energy storage systems (“Battery Energy Storage Systems”).

 

On July 15, 2025, the submission of bids took place. The Group submitted a 150 MW project at the Nuevo Puerto power plant and a 55 MW project at the Costanera power plant. Both projects were awarded to the Group on September 1, 2025.

 

e) Decree No. 450/2025

 

On July 7, 2025, Decree No. 450/2025 was published in the Official Gazette, through which the National Executive Branch approved adjustments and amendments to Electricity Laws No. 15,336 and No. 24,065, which constitute the Electricity Regulatory Framework, based on the delegation provided under the Bases Law (see Note 13).

 

In this regard, the National Executive Branch emphasized that the delegation bases aim to recover the objective of reducing the intervention of the National Government in the pricing and contracting system, in order to provide greater freedom to private actors and provide greater legal certainty to ensure long-term supply. Additionally, the federal electricity regime is consolidated, preserving the supremacy of the national regulatory framework over local provisions, so as not to hinder the free circulation of electricity.

 

Accordingly, Decree No. 450/2025 established a 24-month transition period for the modification of regulations and complementary standards as necessary, during which the Secretariat of Energy was to undertake all necessary actions to ensure a gradual, orderly, and predictable transition toward the objectives established in Article 2 of Law No. 24,065 and the full implementation of said law and its regulations.
Furthermore, it was established that during the transition period, the Secretariat of Energy would issue the necessary regulations for its implementation.

f) Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 400/2025

 

On October 20, 2025, Resolution No. 400/2025 of the Energy Secretariat was published in the Official Gazette, through which the “Rules for the Normalization of MEM and its Progressive Adaptation” were approved, which implement the modifications to MEM regulations established by Decree No. 450/2025, with application as from November 1, 2025.

The central objective of these rules is to reformulate the MEM to establish a price system based on marginal costs, decentralize fuel management, and allow demand to contract its supply through the Term Market (Mercado a Término – MAT).

The Resolution No. 400/2025, among its main points, establishes the following:

i.Categories of demand for energy distributors, dividing them between demand that can contract its supply (GUDI) and demand that cannot contract (Residential and Non-Residential). The latter will be mainly supplied by Assigned Generation, as defined below.

 

ii.Assigned Generation comprises generation units (i) with existing MEM supply contracts, (ii) hydroelectric plants under concession of the National Government, (iii) hydroelectric plants of binational entities, (iv) nuclear plants, and (v) energy imports carried out in a centralized manner by the OED. The remuneration of Assigned Generation will remain based on contract values and/or specific regulations issued by the Secretariat of Energy. Generation units not classified as Assigned Generation are considered Spot Generation and may participate in the energy and power remuneration scheme and the MAT scheme described in section (iv) below, except for thermal power plants in which ENARSA has a majority stake and combined-cycle generation units with power availability commitments under the Agreement approved by Resolution SE No. 59/2023, which may terminate said agreement and formally adhere to the regime to participate in it.

 

iii.New Generation is defined as all generation equipment whose commercial commissioning occurred on or after January 1, 2025.

 

iv.A scheme of fuel management and energy and power remuneration for Spot Market generation is defined, according to the following terms:

a. Fuel Management:

Decentralization of fuel management (natural gas and alternative fuels) by generators.

 

Natural Gas (NG): While the Gas Plan remains in effect (until 2028), generators may access an “NG Agreement” administered centrally by CAMMESA/ENARSA. However, self-management of NG is allowed, while full fuel management becomes mandatory as of January 1, 2029.
Generators with self-managed fuel must freely declare their Variable Production Cost (CVP) within reference ranges to compete in dispatch and recover costs (including fuel).

 

 
 -13-


English translation of the consolidated financial statements originally filed in Spanish with the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”).

CENTRAL PUERTO S.A.

 
Generators without self-managed fuel will apply reference costs and will not access the marginal rent scheme. Their power remuneration will gradually decrease until eliminated as of 2028, except when dispatched.

 

b. Remuneration of Spot Generation:

The remuneration seeks to value both the offered cost (CVP) and the marginal rent, incentivizing competition.

 

Remuneration Formula:

 

Hourly Remuneration Price = CVP + Adapted Marginal Rent (RMA), where RMA = (Hourly Marginal Cost × Loss Factor – CVP) × Adapted Rent Factor (FRA).


The FRA is the percentage of the marginal rent that is remunerated; it gradually increases for existing thermal, hydroelectric, and renewable generation (i.e., prior to 2025) from 0.15 in 2025 to 0.35 in 2028, while for New Generation and those incorporating firm NG transport, the FRA equals 1 (full access to rent).

 

Minimum Rent: Minimum rent values expressed in USD per MWh are established for existing thermal, hydroelectric, and renewable generation.

 

c. Remuneration of Power:

Power Made Available (PPAD): Remunerated during Power Remuneration Hours (HRP, typically 90 hours per week) at a rate of USD 12 / MW available per HRP hour (with multiplier factors depending on fuel type and season).

 

Base Reliability Reserve Service (SRC Base): Payment of USD 1,000 / MW per month for power available from existing thermal generation.

 

Additional Reliability Reserve Service (SRC Additional): Differential payment of USD 9,000 / MW per month for new hydrothermal generation or low-utilization storage at nodes required by the SADI.

 

d. Demand Allocation and Prices:

Distributor demand is divided and the price signal is redirected.

 

Seasonalized Demand of Distributors: Includes Residential demand (priority 1) and Non-Residential demand (priority 2) and will be supplied by Assigned Generation. Wholesale costs for this demand will reflect the average costs of the Assigned Generation.
Spot Demand (Large Users, Uncovered Demand): Prices will reflect system costs, with a gradual incorporation of the Hourly Marginal Cost.

CENTRAL PUERTO S.A.

 

e. Term Market (MAT):

The MAT for energy and power is promoted as the main contracting mechanism, with the objective of allowing demand (Distributors and Large Users) to freely contract their supply with generators, obtaining physical backing and price stability.

 

Existing thermal and hydro generation has limits on its capacity to contract with Large Users (maximum 20% of its monthly production) until January 1, 2030.

 

MAT Power: Allows demand parties to secure their power requirements during HRP through contracts, which will be deducted from their obligation to purchase power made available in the Spot market.

 

v.Any new demand in the MEM that is directly connected to the High-Voltage Transmission System, and that represents a relative increase exceeding 0.5% of the average demand of the MEM, must accompany its request for access to the MEM and transmission capacity with the submission of a supply plan that ensures (i) at least 80% of new energy production; and (ii) sufficient physical power backing to cover up to 80% of its consumption.

 

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 regulations in force of the Argentine 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 establish in accordance with such Technical Resolution. In particular, interim condensed financial statements must apply the International Accounting Standard 34 (“IAS”) “Interim Financial Reporting”.

 

2.2. Basis of presentation and consolidation

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 have been prepared applying the financial information 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, 2024, already issued.

These condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the necessary information for a proper understanding by users of the relevant facts and transactions that occurred after the issuance of the last annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and up to the date of issuance of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. However, these condensed consolidated financial statements include neither all the information nor 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, 2024.

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Argentine pesos, which is the Group’s functional currency, and all values have been rounded to the nearest thousand (ARS 000), except when otherwise indicated.

 

2.2.1. Measuring unit

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025, including comparative figures for the previous fiscal year, have been restated to consider the changes in the general purchasing power of the functional currency of the Company (Argentine peso) pursuant to IAS 29 and General Resolution No. 777/2018 of the Argentine Securities Commission, without this affecting the decisions taken based on the financial information for such period. Consequently, the financial statements are expressed in the current unit of measurement at the end of the reporting period.

 

The effects of the application of IAS 29 are disclosed in Note 2.2.2 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, already issued.

 

Considering the mentioned index, the inflation was 21.97% and 101.58% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

2.3. Changes in significant accounting policies

 

New standards and interpretations adopted

 

Starting from the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2025, the Group has applied for the first time certain new and/or amended standards and interpretations as issued by the IASB.

 

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:

 

Lack of exchangeability - Amendments to IAS 21

 

The amendments specify how an entity must assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it must determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments also require the disclosure of information that enables users of the financial statements to understand how the lack of exchangeability of a currency affects, or is expected to affect, the entity’s financial performance, financial position, and cash flows.

 

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. When applying the amendments, entities are not permitted to restate comparative information.

 

These amendments have not had a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

As a consequence of the Commercial Authorization and in accordance with the CVO agreement, the Company collects the CVO receivables in 120 equal and consecutive installments.

 

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, collections of CVO receivables amounted to 67,397,239 and 78,369,966, respectively.

According to the terms of the agreement, the loan accrued interest at a rate equal to LIBO plus 5.95%.

S.A.U., Vientos La Genoveva II S.A.U. 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 requirements that the subsidiary must meet in order to distribute dividends. As of September 30, 2025, the subsidiary has complied with the aforementioned requirements.

On May 24, 2019, CPRES (a company now absorbed by Vientos La Genoveva II S.A.U.) signed 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.

Under the loan agreement, the subsidiary CPRES had committed to maintain certain financial ratios until full repayment of the outstanding amounts. From June 29, 2024, to June 28, 2025, the subsidiary CPRES obtained waivers for compliance with such ratios and other obligations under the agreement, in relation to losses due to claims included under “Other operating expenses” in the statement of profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result of the corporate reorganization through which CPRES was absorbed by Vientos La Genoveva II S.A.U., since June 18, 2025, the applicable ratios are those previously mentioned in connection with the loan granted to Vientos La Genoveva II.


Furthermore, as collateral for the obligations assumed, the subsidiary Vientos La Genoveva II S.A.U. maintains a first-ranking pledge in favor of Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. over the financed assets.


Other related agreements and documents, such as the Guarantee Agreement (the “Fianza”), under which CPSA fully, unconditionally, and irrevocably guaranteed, as principal debtor, all payment obligations assumed by Vientos La Genoveva II S.A.U. 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, Vientos La Genoveva II S.A.U. and CPRES fulfilled all the requirements and conditions necessary to certify the occurrence of the project compliance date, and therefore the Guarantee Agreement granted by CPSA was released.


As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of these loans amounted to 11,643,165 and 18,081,273, respectively.

 

7.3.5. Financial trust corresponding to Thermal Station Brigadier López

In accordance with the provisions of the trust agreement, the financial debt accrued an interest rate equal to the LIBO 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 September 30, 2025 and as of December 31, 2024, there are trade receivables with specific assignment amounting to 884,757 and 1,079,105, 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 financial trust.

 

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. On June 11, 2025, the CNV approved the extension of the Program’s term until October 29, 2030 and the increase of the Program’s amount up to USD 1,000,000,000.

 

Under this Program, the Company issued three types of securities: (a) on September 17, 2023, the subscription and settlement of Class A Negotiable Obligation (NO) took place, denominated, issued, and payable in U.S. dollars abroad; the characteristics of this NO are as follows: (i) nominal value issued: USD 37,232,818, (ii) interest rate, determined through bidding: 7%, (iii) interest coupon frequency: semiannual, (iv) amortization: bullet, (v) term: 30 months from September 17, 2023, and (vi) applicable law and deposit location: Argentina, Caja de Valores S.A. (b) on October 17, 2023, the subscription and settlement of the international bond denominated “10% Senior Notes due 2025” (Class B NO) took place, denominated, issued, and payable in U.S. dollars abroad, under the Reg S scheme. The characteristics of this bond are as follows: (i) nominal value issued: USD 50,000,000, (ii) interest rate, determined through bidding: 10%, (iii) interest coupon frequency: semiannual, (iv) amortization: bullet, (v) term: 24 months from October 17, 2023, and (vi) applicable law and deposit location: New York, Euroclear; and (c) on August 25, 2025, the subscription and settlement of Class C NO took place, denominated, issued, and payable in U.S. dollars abroad; the characteristics of this NO are as follows: (i) nominal value issued: USD 50,000,000, (ii) interest rate, determined through bidding: 8%, (iii) interest coupon frequency: semiannual, (iv) amortization: bullet, (v) term: 48 months from August 25, 2025, and (vi) applicable law and deposit location: Argentina, Caja de Valores S.A.

7.4. 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 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 for each transaction and the creditworthiness of the customer.

 

The fair value of quoted debt securities, mutual funds, stocks and negotiable bonds is based on the quoted prices as of the reporting period end date.

 

The fair value of debts and loans accruing interest approximates their book value.

 

Fair value hierarchy

 

The following table shows the fair value hierarchy of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and 2024:

Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties

 

Balances at the related reporting period-ends are unsecured and interest free. There have been no guarantees provided or received for any related party receivables or payables.

 

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not recognized any impairment losses on related party receivables. This assessment is undertaken at the end of each reporting period by examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.

 

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Group sold 0.22% and 2.92%, respectively, of its equity interest in subsidiaries, without losing control over such entities. In accordance with IFRS 10, the effects of these transactions were recognized directly in equity.

 

On January 7, 2025, the Shareholders’ Meeting of the subsidiary CPR approved the redemption of all shares held by the minority shareholders of said company, with the exception of one share retained by Vientos la Genoveva II S.A.U., pursuant to Article 220, paragraph 1 of the General Companies Law ("LGS"), and voluntarily reduced the share capital in accordance with Article 203 of the LGS. Subsequently, on March 31, 2025, CPSA acquired from Vientos La Genoveva II S.A.U. the remaining CPR share.

On May 22, 2025, the corporate reorganization was approved by the respective Shareholders’ Meetings. The effective date of the merger was set for October 1, 2025, once the precedent conditions established in the Definitive Merger Agreement were fulfilled and after the corporate reorganization was approved by the CNV on September 10, 2025.

The effects of this transaction, amounting to 64,399,243, were recognized under the line item "Share of the profit of associates" in the statement of income and comprehensive income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.

Pursuant to Law No. 27,468, as amended by Law No. 27,430, for the determination of the amount of taxable net income for fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 2019, the inflation adjustment calculated by applying the provisions set forth in the income tax law may be added to or deducted from the taxable result of the fiscal year. This adjustment will only be applicable (a) if the cumulative variation of the consumer price

CENTRAL PUERTO S.A.

 

index (“IPC”) during the 36 months prior to fiscal year closing is higher than 100%, and (b) for the first, second, and third fiscal years commencing from January 1, 2018, if the accumulated IPC variation exceeds 55%, 30% or 15% of such 100%, respectively. The positive or negative tax inflation adjustment, depending on the case, corresponding to the first, second and third fiscal year 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 in 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 to foster economic development, reducing various expenses to lower the fiscal deficit, reduction of subsidies, among others. In the context of the new government, a significant devaluation of the Argentine peso occurred, reflected in the official exchange rate.

 

During 2024 and 2025, the national government took actions to achieve fiscal balance, which allowed it to quickly achieve a primary and financial surplus in relation to the Gross Domestic Product, and to initiate a process to slow down 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 enactment by the Executive Power.

 

Regarding energy, the Law of Bases modifies laws that form the regulatory framework of hydrocarbons, natural gas, biofuels, electricity, among others. These changes are projected with the aim of reconfiguring the relationship between the government and the market so as to give predominance to private initiatives in order to gain in competitive terms and maximize the profits obtained.

 

In this regard, the Law of Bases enables the Executive Power to modify the Laws No. 15,336 on Electrical Energy and No. 24,065 on the Regulatory Framework of Electric Energy, by guaranteeing the following bases:

 

Free international trade of electricity.

 

Free trade, competition and expansion of markets, and the possibility for the final user to choose their supplier.

 

A clear breakdown of the charges payable by the end user.

 

The development of electricity transportation infrastructure through open, transparent, efficient and competitive mechanisms.

 

The review of administrative structures of the electricity sector, modernizing and professionalizing them.

The Law of Bases merges the gas and electricity regulators (ENRE and Enargas) into one National Gas and Electricity Regulatory Entity, which will retain the same functions as the existing entities. In this regard, on July 7, 2025, the Executive Power issued Executive Order No. 452/2025, through which the new regulatory entity was formally established.

 

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 was required under certain conditions. The effects of these regulations on the Group’s loans as of September 30, 2025, 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 foreign exchange market. These measures included: (i) the establishment of a floating exchange rate band within which the U.S. dollar may fluctuate in the market, initially set between 1,000 and 1,400 pesos, with monthly adjustments of 1% to the band limits; (ii) the elimination of the program that allowed export proceeds to be settled using a split mechanism of 80% through the official market and 20% through the financial market; (iii) the removal of foreign exchange restrictions applicable to individuals, including the monthly purchase limit of 200 U.S. dollars in the official market, as well as cross restrictions under BCRA Communication “A” 7340 (notwithstanding that BCRA Communication “A” 8336 introduced new cross restrictions for individuals, under which individuals cannot purchase securities settled in foreign currency for 90 days after accessing MULC), and the elimination of the tax surcharge on foreign currency purchases in the official market, 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) a one-time elimination of the 90-day retroactive period under Communication “A” 7340 applicable to legal entities, allowing them to resume access to the foreign exchange market under normal conditions.

 

Income Tax

 

On June 16, 2021, the Argentine Executive Power enacted Law No. 27,630, which established changes in the corporate income tax rate for the fiscal periods commencing on or after January 1, 2021. This law establishes payment of the tax based on a structure of staggered rates based 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 2024 the applicable scale is the following: 25% up to an accumulated taxable net income of 34.7 million Ps.; 30% for the excess of such amount up to 347 million Ps.; and 35% for the excess of such amount. Meanwhile, for fiscal year 2025 the applicable scale is the following: 25% up to an accumulated taxable net income of 101.7 million Ps.; 30% for the excess of such amount up to 1,016.8 million Ps.; 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 implemented in 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 those investment projects that are submitted and approved, corresponding to 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.

 

In addition, certain loan agreements establish requirements for the distribution of dividends (see Notes 7.3.1, 7.3.3, 7.3.4 and 7.3.8).

 

15. Guarantees granted

 

Pursuant to Decree No. 718/24 issued by the National Executive Branch (see Note 1.2.a), on September 3, 2024, CPSA submitted a surety bond in the amount of USD 4,500,000 as a guarantee for the extension of the Concession Agreement of the Piedra del Águila Hydroelectric Complex, with a maximum term until December 28, 2025.

 

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.

 

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 connection with the agreements described in Notes 7.3.10 and 7.3.11, the Group has provided T-Bills as performance guarantees, which are included in the balance of other financial assets. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, given the settlement of the aforementioned loans, these guarantees have been released.

 

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, 2024, already issued, and in Notes 7.3.1, 7.3.3, 7.3.4, and 7.3.8.

 

The Group has delivered deferred payment checks for 2,449,067 as bid security for the projects awarded under Resolution S.E. No. 67/2025 (see Note 1.2.d).
