Pampa Energía (NYSE: PAM) lifts Q2 profit, okays $2.7B urea plant
Pampa Energía reported strong second-quarter 2026 results, with sales of US$746 million, up 53% year-on-year, adjusted EBITDA of US$415 million (up 75%) and net income attributable to shareholders of US$172 million versus US$40 million a year earlier.
Growth was led by oil and gas and power generation: production reached 107.5 kboe/day, oil and gas sales rose 64%, and power generation sales increased 90% on higher spot prices, self-supplied fuel and B2B PPAs. Adjusted EBITDA rose to US$182 million in oil and gas, US$155 million in power generation and US$20 million in petrochemicals.
The board approved a final investment decision of US$2.7 billion for a large granular urea plant in Bahía Blanca, while highlighting a US$4.5 billion Rincón de Aranda development under the RIGI regime and TGS’s US$3 billion Integrated NGL Project. Net debt increased to US$1,319 million as of June 30, 2026, reflecting heavy capex, hedge collateral and higher working capital; Pampa reopened its 2037 notes with a new US$500 million issue and kept average funding cost at 7.3%.

Stock information |
Buenos Aires, August 4, 2026 Basis of presentation Pampa reports its financial information in US$, its functional currency. For local currency equivalents, transactional FX is applied. However, Transener and TGS’s figures are adjusted for inflation as of June 30, 2026, and converted to US$ using the period-end FX rate. Prior quarter figures remain unchanged as reported. Q2 26 main results1 Sales reached US$746 million in Q2 262, up 53% year-on-year, driven by the WEM’s new deregulation framework, which supported higher spot energy prices and B2B PPA sales, in addition to higher crude oil output and increased gas sales to power generation, and stronger Reformer prices. Lower Plan Gas and petrochemical volumes offset these effects. The Q2 26 reflected the continued ramp-up at Rincón de Aranda, alongside strong power generation performance, boosted by higher seasonal spot prices and the vertical integration with gas upstream.
Note: * Price net of export duty and quality/logistic discounts. Adjusted EBITDA3 totaled US$415 million, a 75% year-on-year increase, explained by higher contribution from RDA, greater power and gas vertical integration and increased spot and B2B margins in power generation, partially offset by lower realized crude oil prices due to hedging. Net income attributable to shareholders was US$172 million, 4.3x Q2 25, driven by stronger operating margins and lower income tax, partially offset by lower gains from financial instruments. Net debt stood at US$1.3 billion as of June 2026, vs. US$801 million as of December 2025, reflecting higher capital expenditures on RDA and increased collateral requirements due to oil hedging. | |

| 1.1 | Urea project: entry into the fertilizer business with the construction of Latin America’s largest urea plant |
On July 17, 2026, Pampa’s Board of Directors approved the final investment decision of US$2.7 billion to build a granular urea production plant in Bahía Blanca, in southern Buenos Aires Province. This milestone marks Pampa’s entry into the fertilizer business, a critical commodity for agricultural production and global food security, and is aligned with the Company’s strategy of monetizing its Vaca Muerta shale gas reserves through high-value-added businesses while further strengthening its industrial profile.
The project will be developed by Fértil Pampa, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pampa, on an 80-hectare site within the Bahía Blanca Industrial Complex. With an annual production capacity of 2.1 million tons of granular urea, it will be the largest urea plant in Latin America by production capacity. The project includes the construction of a 3,430-ton-per-day single-train ammonia plant, a two-train granular urea plant with a combined production capacity of 6,000 tons per day, a desalination plant to supply process water, storage silos, and new logistics infrastructure at the Port of Bahía Blanca, including truck and vessel loading facilities for export and domestic markets.
The selected location provides an outstanding competitive advantage by connecting the Vaca Muerta natural gas pipeline system with one of Argentina’s main export ports and Pampa’s thermal and renewable power generation assets. Natural gas and electricity account for approximately 70% of urea production costs, and will be supplied primarily by Pampa. This vertical integration is expected to enhance operating efficiency and also support the project’s long-term profitability.
In addition to diversifying Pampa’s revenue base, the fertilizer business will also help Argentina’s generation of foreign currency through import substitution and increased exports, with an estimated annual contribution of approximately US$1 billion. Brazil, which imports 8 million tons of urea per year, in addition to the rest of the Southern Cone, with an annual deficit of 2 million tons, will be the project’s primary markets.
Completion is expected to take approximately 41 months, and SACDE will carry out the civil construction, while Tecnimont will focus on engineering and procurement. Process technology will be provided by Nextchem, through its subsidiary Stamicarbon, jointly with KBR, both recognized as global leaders in fertilizer production technologies. Tecnimont, Nextchem and Stamicarbon are part of Italy’s MAIRE Group.
At peak construction, the project is expected to create more than 3,500 direct jobs, in addition to a significant number of indirect jobs across the supply chain. Once operational, the facility is expected to employ approximately 300 people. Fértil Pampa will prioritize the hiring of local workers and suppliers from Bahía Blanca and surrounding areas, while also creating opportunities for internal mobility within the Company.
On April 21, 2026 and June 10, 2026, respectively, Fértil Pampa submitted applications for the project to qualify under the RIGI and REPIE regimes. Approval under both regimes is essential to the development of the project. As of the date of this Earnings Release, the evaluation committee has cleared Fértil Pampa’s admission to the RIGI framework, with approval publication in the Official Gazette still pending.
Marcelo Mindlin, Chairman of Pampa Energía, stated: ‘This represents the largest investment in Pampa’s history and the most significant project we have undertaken in many years. Argentina currently depends on fertilizers imported from distant regions exposed to considerable geopolitical uncertainty. This plant will provide Argentina with a reliable and competitive domestic supply of urea while creating new export opportunities across the region and international markets. It will generate valuable foreign currency revenues, expand into new markets, and transform Vaca Muerta’s natural gas into a high value-added product for one of Argentina’s most important economic sectors—its agricultural industry.’

| 1.2 | Oil and gas |
RDA Project: Approval under RIGI
On July 21, 2026, the MECON approved the RDA Project’s application to join the RIGI under the PEELP category (Res. No. 1,025/26).
The application includes the drilling and completion of 259 wells in RDA, the construction of a treatment and processing facility with capacity to handle up to 45 kbpd of crude oil and 0.8 mcmpd of natural gas, as well as the infrastructure required to evacuate production, including oil and gas pipelines, and water treatment facilities for the final disposal of flowback water. Total estimated investment amounts to US$4.5 billion and is expected to be deployed through 2041.
The approval of the RIGI represents a significant milestone for the development of RDA, as it provides a stable framework and tax, customs, and foreign exchange incentives for 30 years. In addition, projects classified as PEELP are eligible for specific benefits, including an exemption from export duties starting in the second year following enrollment in the regime. In this sense, Pampa expects to export all of RDA’s production, which is estimated to generate US$17 billion over the project’s useful life.
FLNG: San Matías Pipeline approval under RIGI
On June 26, 2026, the MECON approved San Matías Pipeline S.A.’s application to the RIGI, a company in which Pampa holds a 20% equity interest (Res. No. 873/26).
San Matías Pipeline will be responsible for the construction and operation of the dedicated pipeline for SESA’s FLNG project, which will connect natural gas production from the Neuquén Basin to the Gulf of San Matías in Río Negro Province, where the liquefaction vessels will be supplied with gas for LNG exports. The approximately 470-km pipeline will have a 36-inch diameter and transportation capacity of up to 28 mcmpd of natural gas. The estimated investment amounts to US$1.5 billion, and full commercial operation is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2028.

Capacity awarding in the GPM expansion and final tranches
As part of the expansion of the GPM and final sections, on June 3, 2026, TGS received bids for the second stage of the tender process, covering the remaining available transportation capacity, with priority granted to natural gas distribution companies. Awarded shippers will enter into firm transportation agreements for up to 35 years, effective May 2027. It is worth highlighting that on April 15, Pampa was awarded 3.2 mcmpd of transportation capacity in the tranche supplying the Buenos Aires metro area.
For the Buenos Aires metro area tranche, 60% of the 12 mcmpd of incremental transportation capacity was offered, for which Pampa and its subsidiaries bid 11.8 mcmpd. In addition, 60% of the 2 mcmpd of incremental capacity in the Bahía Blanca section was tendered, with Pampa and its subsidiaries submitting bids totaling 9.6 mcmpd. As of today, the awards under the second tender remain pending.
In addition to securing the evacuation of increased natural gas production from Pampa’s E&P business, the awarded capacity provides significant benefits to our power generation business. Under the Res. SE No. 400/25 new framework, electricity generated using natural gas transported through new infrastructure, such as the GPM expansion and its final sections, captures the full dispatch margin when sold into the spot market (FRA=1), enhancing the competitiveness and profitability of Pampa’s generation assets, particularly our CCGTs.
End of HINISA and HIDISA’s concessions
On June 30, 2026, the SE proposed extending HIDISA’s concession through December 15, 2026, subject to Pampa’s acceptance, unless the concession was awarded earlier through a public bidding process.
Earnings Release Q2 26 ● 3 |
|
Pampa decided not to accept the proposed extension and, to ensure the service, will continue operating the assets for an additional 90 days.
HINISA’s concession expired on July 31, 2026, and the assets were subsequently reverted to Hidroelectricidad Mendocina S.A., the provincial energy company. On July 28, the National Government and the Province of Mendoza launched a national and international public tender for the concession of the Los Nihuiles Complex hydroelectric generation (Nihuiles I, II, III and IV), together with the sale of 100% equity of Hidroelectricidad Mendocina S.A. (DNU No. 667/26). In addition, the Province of Mendoza approved the bidding terms for the joint tender and submitted them to the National Government’s review (Provincial Decree No. 1,436/26). Hidroelectricidad Mendocina S.A. will continue operating the complex until December 31, 2026, unless the concession is awarded earlier.
LNG auctions
During Q2 26, MEGSA tendered take-or-pay LNG volumes offered by ENARSA. LNG helps mitigate seasonal constraints in the natural gas transportation system and secures fuel supply for power generation during periods of peak demand. In addition, its cost is passed through to the spot market energy remuneration by CAMMESA.
Between June and July 2026, Pampa was awarded 74.5 mcm of LNG, which was consumed at CTGEBA, while CTEB consumed its awarded allocation of 51.6 mcm. For August 2026, Pampa bid for 39.5 mcm of LNG for CTGEBA, and 34.4 mcm for CTEB. Both plants were awarded on July 23, 2026. The purchase prices were US$22, US$18 and US$25 per MBTU for June, July and August, respectively.

Integrated NGL Project: Final Investment Decision
On June 10, 2026, TGS announced the final investment decision to develop the Integrated NGL Project, which entails a US$3 billion investment, the largest of its kind in Argentina’s history and a key milestone in the expansion of TGS’s midstream business.
The
project, which is expected to be completed over the next four years, includes the expansion of the Tratayén treatment plant and
the construction of a 100-km segregation pipeline, a multi-product pipeline to Bahía Blanca, fractionation and storage facilities,
and a marine export terminal. Once commissioned, the project is expected to generate approximately 4,000 direct jobs, 15,000 indirect
jobs, and around US$1.2 billion in annual exports, further strengthening Argentina’s midstream infrastructure and its capacity to
monetize Vaca Muerta’s NGLs.

Sales in the oil and gas segment rose 64% year-on-year, driven by shale oil production ramp-up at Rincón de Aranda, higher gas sales to our CCGTs under the new WEM normalization guidelines and tariff increases in the retail segment. These effects were partially offset by lower volumes sold under the Plan Gas GSA, mainly due to the pass-through of CAMMESA contracts and lower sales to industrial customers. Quarter-on-quarter, the 36% sales increase is attributable to higher seasonal gas demand from retailers and thermal power generation.
Regarding operational performance, total production reached a quarterly record high of 107.5 kboepd in Q2 26, up 28% year-on-year, driven by higher crude oil output at RDA and greater gas volumes allocated to self-supply our CCGTs under the spot market. Compared with Q1 26, production increased 7%, supported by continued growth at RDA and seasonal demand from retail and power generation, partially offset by lower gas volumes for self-supply and industrial customers amid seasonal pipeline constraints.
Gas production was 14.3 mcmpd (+10% vs. Q2 25, +4% vs. Q1 26). Regarding our operated blocks, Sierra Chata led the production with a quarterly record of 7.4 mcmpd in Q2 26 (+95% vs. Q2 25, +22% vs. Q1 26), boosted by the tie-in of 4 new shale wells in April 2026. El Mangrullo contributed 5.2 mcmpd (-30% vs. Q2 25, -14% vs. Q1 26), with no new wells tied in since July 2024. Together, Sierra Chata and El Mangrullo accounted for 88% of total gas production. Associated gas from Rincón de Aranda and Parva Negra Este exploratory well contributed 0.3 mcmpd (+40% vs. Q1 26).
In non-operated areas, Río Neuquén produced 1.1 mcmpd (-17% vs. Q2 25, -6% vs. Q1 26), a decline partially offset by 2 new tight wells tied in. Rincón del Mangrullo and Aguaragüe continued reducing to 0.2 mcmpd, explained by the natural decline with no new activity.

First semester of 2025 includes production from El Tordillo and La Tapera-Puesto Quiroga, blocks transferred to Crown Point Energía S.A. in October 2025 (crude oil production of 1.5 kbpd during 6M25 and 1.6 kbpd in Q2 25).
The average gas price increased 15% vs. Q2 25 to US$4.6 per MBTU, due to higher pass-through of gas cost consumed in our thermal power plants, in addition to higher retail prices following consecutive tariff adjustments amid a stable FX environment. Lower export prices partially offset these effects. The realized prices increased 57% compared with Q1 26, due to seasonality.
Regarding gas deliveries by customer, during Q2 26, 26% of gas sales were allocated to CAMMESA for thermal dispatch (43% in Q2 25) and 30% to retail distributors (37% in Q2 25). Together, these segments accounted for 56% of volume sold under the Plan Gas, compared with 80% in Q2 25, reflecting the pass-through of GSAs to our power plants. As a result, intersegment consumption increased to 31% of total sales (3% in Q2 25), mainly driven by fuel self-procurement at CTLL and CTGEBA and, to a lesser extent, at CTIW, under the new WEM guidelines and the higher fuel cost pass-through by CAMMESA. Intersegment consumption also includes recurring but marginal supply to our petrochemical plants. The remaining 13% of volume sold comprised industrial/spot market (4% vs. 9% in Q2 25) and exports, which remained stable (9% vs. 8% in Q2 25).
Oil production reached 23.4 kbpd in Q2 26 (3x vs. Q2 25, +20% vs. Q1 26), driven by the continued ramp-up at RDA, which averaged 22.2 kbpd in Q2 26 (+17.0 kbpd vs. Q2 25, +22% vs. Q1 26), supported by 43 producing wells (17 in Q2 25, flat vs. Q1 26). In July, 10 wells were completed and are ready to be tied in during August. The divestment of El Tordillo and La Tapera-Puesto Quiroga in October 2025 partially offset these effects (-1.6 kbpd vs. Q2 25).
The oil price, net of export duty and commercial discounts, averaged US$58.8 per barrel (-4% vs. Q2 25, flat vs. Q1 26), impacted by the Brent hedge over RDA’s production. Without the hedge, the realized price would have been US$91.0 per barrel, resulting in approximately US$64 million of additional revenue. Exports accounted for 57% of total volume sold in Q2 26 (55% in Q2 25 and Q1 26).

The lifting cost4 totaled US$75 million in Q2 26, +29% vs. Q2 25, explained by the second TPF at RDA, which increased treatment capacity from 20 to 28 kbpd, in addition to higher treatment costs associated with increased gas production. These effects were partially offset by lower labor costs, following the divestment of El Tordillo. Quarter-on-quarter, the 35% increase in lifting costs reflects the new TPF and higher maintenance and treatment costs resulting from greater gas volumes, partially offset by lower gas transport costs at Sierra Chata. The lifting cost per boe reached US$7.7/boe produced, flat vs. Q2 25, as the increase in total cost was offset by higher production from RDA and the gas blocks. Compared with Q1 26, lifting cost per boe increased 25% due to the new TPF, which outpaced sequential production growth at RDA.
Excluding depreciation, amortization and lifting costs, other operating costs totaled US$85 million (+33% vs. Q2 25, +8% vs. Q1 26), mainly due to higher royalties and transportation costs in line with increased production, partially offset by lower crude oil inventories.
Other operating income, net of expenses increased by US$4 million vs. Q2 25 to US$11 million, explained by improved collections and lower environmental remediation provisions, partially offset by lower income from Plan Gas compensation after royalties, as a result of higher realized US$ prices in the retail segment. Compared with Q1 26, it also increased by US$12 million, due to Plan Gas seasonality.
Financial results in Q2 26 recorded a net loss of US$54 million (+108% vs. Q2 25, +260% vs. Q1 26), driven by lower gains on Brent derivatives not designated as hedging, as well as FX losses from the higher monetary asset position in AR$.

Our oil and gas adjusted EBITDA amounted to US$182 million in Q2 26, +109% vs. Q2 25, primarily driven by the shale oil production ramp-up at RDA, higher gas prices and increased gas self-supply to our thermal power plants following the gradual normalization of the WEM. These effects were partially offset by lower realized oil prices and reduced Plan Gas sales due to the pass-through of contracts, in addition to higher royalties and treatment costs in line with increased production, particularly from the commissioning of RDA’s second TPF. Compared with Q1 26, adjusted EBITDA grew 74%, mainly due to higher gas deliveries and winter prices. The adjusted EBITDA excludes extraordinary and non-cash income and expenses, overdue commercial interests, and equity income from affiliates, and includes a US$5 million reclassification to lifting costs related to the TPF lease at RDA, which is recognized as a capital expenditure under IFRS.
Capital expenditures amounted to US$228 million (-26% vs. Q2 25, but +16% vs. Q1 26), with 72% allocated to the development of RDA.
4 It only considers maintenance, treatment, internal transportation, wellhead staff and the TPF rental costs at Rincón de Aranda, which under IFRS it is recorded as Leases, accruing amortization on rights-of-use in the cost of sales. Lifting cost does not include amortizations and depreciations.

In Q2 26, power generation sales grew 90% year-on-year, driven by the self-supply and pass-through of fuel costs for our power units operating under the spot market, including the LNG consumed at CTGEBA in June. This revenue is offset by the cost of gas purchased from our oil and gas segment and ENARSA’s LNG auctions, which are recorded in the power generation segment’s cost of sales. On top of the LNG cost, CAMMESA recognizes a 25% procurement margin. Additionally, sales increase reflected greater dispatch margins at CTGEBA and CTLL CCGTs, which are the most competitive units in our spot market portfolio, benefited from higher system marginal costs, particularly from May onward due to seasonal winter demand. Higher B2B PPA sales to industrial customers at CTLL also contributed to the segment’s sales increase. Expiration of Energía Plus contracts, the outage of CTLL’s GT04 under PPA through the end of May, and weaker performance of the PEPE wind farms under MATER offset these effects. Compared with Q1 26, sales increased 26% due to higher winter spot energy prices and increased B2B PPA sales in the MAT.
Within the spot segment, capacity payments for CCGTs decreased to US$4.5 thousand per MW-month (-15% vs. Q2 25, -16% vs. Q1 26). Moreover, gas and steam-fired peakers averaged US$6.2 thousand per MW-month (+18% vs. Q2 25, but -18% vs. Q1 26), supported by CPB’s ability to operate on alternative fuels. Hydros averaged US$2.3 thousand per MW-month (+3% vs. Q2 25, flat vs. Q1 26).
Regarding operational performance, operated power generation increased by 14% year-on-year, outperforming the national grid. This growth was driven by higher economic dispatch at CTLL (+452 GWh), the completion of upgrade works at CTEB during Q2 25 (+448 GWh) and, given the rising system marginal costs, increased dispatch from units operating under PPAs, primarily CTGEBA’s new CCGT (+90 GWh), CTPP (+47 GWh), and CTIW (+54 GWh). These effects were partially offset by lower power generation at CTGEBA’s old CCGT due to gas transportation capacity constraints (-285 GWh), as well as a higher CVP at CPB (-161 GWh). Compared with Q1 26, generation dropped 7%, mainly due to lower dispatch at CPB and CTGEBA.
The average availability of Pampa’s operated units reached 88.4% in Q2 26 vs. 91.6% in Q2 25 (-315 basis points), reflecting the ongoing forced outages at HINISA, outages at CTG’s ST13 in April and GT01 in June, and CTLL’s GT04 through the end of May 2026, as well as the programmed overhaul at CTEB.

Adjusted EBITDA from the power generation segment reached US$155 million in Q2 26, +39% vs. Q2 25, supported by stronger spot margins from our thermal units operating under the new WEM framework, in addition to higher capacity and energy sales under the MAT to industrial clients. These effects were partially offset by the expiration of Energía Plus contracts, CTLL’s GT04 outage and weaker load factor at the PEPEs wind farms under MATER. Compared with Q1 26, adjusted EBITDA increased 8%, mainly driven by the seasonal effect in dispatch margins, partially offset by lower generation due to gas transportation constraints. Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-operating, extraordinary and non-cash items and considers CTEB’s 50% ownership, which contributed US$17 million in Q2 26 (+88% vs. Q2 25, +16% vs. Q1 26), mainly explained by higher spot margins on its gas turbines as a result of higher system marginal cost during the winter season, as well as the margin over the LNG consumed during June.
Capital expenditures, excluding CTEB, totaled US$2 million in Q2 26, vs. US$20 million in Q2 25, mainly allocated to maintenance activities.

The adjusted EBITDA for the petrochemicals segment was US$20 million in Q2 26, broadly outpacing the US$3 million recorded in Q2 25 and breakeven in the last quarter, reflected by higher international prices, which supported stronger margins on styrene and the Reformer. The decline in sales volumes partially offset said effects.
Total volume sold reached 95 thousand tons vs. 125 thousand tons in Q2 25, -24% year-on-year, due to lower Reformer volumes, in line with reduced naphtha processing, partially offset by higher SBR exports. The 14% quarter-on-quarter increase is attributable to the 35-day programmed overhaul at the Reformer during Q1 26.
Financial results recorded a net profit of US$2 million, -50% vs. Q2 25, due to higher losses from gasoline price hedging. The US$11 million improvement quarter-on-quarter is mainly explained by lower international gasoline prices and, consequently, reduced hedging losses.

At TGS, the EBITDA adjusted for our stake was US$50 million in Q2 26, +49% vs. Q2 25, mainly explained by higher NGL volumes and realized prices, following the recovery from the extraordinary climate event that affected Cerri in March 2025, partially offset by increased natural gas costs due to higher processed volumes. The regulated segment also outperformed in US$ terms, supported by an 11% tariff increase in Q2 26, which exceeded both inflation and AR$ devaluation, at 7% each. Compared with Q1 26, adjusted EBITDA dropped 15%, mainly explained by the AR$ devaluation and higher seasonal cost of gas.
At Transener, the EBITDA adjusted for our stake reached US$22 million (+54% vs. Q2 25, -3% vs. Q1 26), driven by an 8% quarter tariff increase, which outpaced inflation and AR$ devaluation, at 7% each.

| 3.1 | Debt transactions |
As of June 30, 2026, Pampa’s financial debt under IFRS totaled US$2,6 billion, 37% higher than year-end 2025. Net debt increased from US$801 million as of December 2025 to US$1,319 million, reflecting higher disbursements for the development of RDA and increased collateral requirements linked to crude oil price hedging, in addition to higher working capital in line with increased sales, partially offset by improved collection days. Compared with the March 2026 closing, the net debt rose 10%, explained by higher capex at RDA and seasonal working capital, partially offset by the release of guarantees following the decline in Brent prices.
On May 21, 2026, Pampa reopened its international bond maturing November 2037, with an annual interest rate of 7.750%. The new US$500 million issuance was priced at a 7.6% yield, increasing the total outstanding amount of the 2037 Notes to US$950 million. The offering was more than two times oversubscribed, pricing at the lowest spread over U.S. Treasuries in Pampa’s debt issuance history, further extending Pampa’s maturity profile and strengthening its debt structure.
Additionally, during Q2 26, Pampa issued US$200 million of CB Series 27 US$-MEP, maturing in April 2029, with a fixed annual interest rate of 5.49%, payable semiannually. The Company also incurred US$26 million of net bank debt.
As of June 30, 2026, 97% of Pampa’s gross debt was issued in the capital markets, with the remaining 3% of bank loans. The average cost of financing was 7.3%. Details are shown below:
