Buenos Aires, Argentina, August 9, 2022

During the 2Q2022, total comprehensive income amounted to Ps. 5,311 million, or Ps. 7.06 per share (Ps. 35.28 per ADS), compared to a total comprehensive income of Ps. 5,570 million, or Ps. 7.40 per share (Ps. 37.00 per ADS) in the second quarter ended on June 30, 2021 (“2Q2021”).

Operating profit for 2Q2022 amounted to Ps. 9,327 million, Ps. 864 lower compared to 2Q2021. This variation was mainly due to:

`Ø```Lower revenues from the Production and Commercialization of Natural Gas Liquids (Liquids) segment amounting to Ps. 2,040 million.

`Ø`Higher depreciation of Ps. 113 million.

`Ø`Higher revenues from Other Services segment by Ps. 867 million.

`Ø`Operating costs and administrative and commercialization expenses, excluding depreciation, decreased by Ps. 570 million compared to 2Q2021.

Analysis of the results

Total revenues amounted to Ps. 28,073 million in 2Q2022, a Ps. 1,289 million decrease compared to Ps. 29,362 million in 2Q2021.

The breakdown of operating costs, administrative and commercialization expenses, excluding depreciation, for 2Q2022 and 2Q2021 is shown in the table below:

Operating costs and administrative and selling expenses, excluding depreciation, decreased by approximately Ps. 570 million in 2Q2022 compared to 2Q2021. This variation is due to the lower cost of natural gas consumed for liquids production (a lower volume partially offset by higher prices) and lower repair and maintenance expenses. These effects were partially offset by higher labor costs.

Financial results are presented in gross terms considering the effect of change in the currency purchasing power ("Gain on monetary position") in a single separate line. In 2Q2022, financial results experienced a negative variation of Ps. 1,644 million compared to 2Q2021.

This variation is mainly due to lower gain on monetary position of Ps. 2,443 million and the higher negative foreign exchange difference of Ps. 1,858 million (during 2Q2022 a higher exchange rate variation was recorded, partially offset by the lower liability position in foreign currency). These effects were partially offset by the higher result generated by financial assets of Ps. 2,134 million and the lower negative result for the repurchase of notes by Ps. 210 million.

2 Q2022 EARNINGS RELEASE

Natural Gas Transportation

Operating profit before depreciation of the Natural Gas Transportation segment decreased by Ps. 260 million.

Natural gas transportation revenues accounted for approximately 29% and 28% of total revenues in 2Q2022 and 2Q2021, respectively.

Revenues from this segment are derived mainly from firm natural gas transportation contracts which represent approximately 84% of the total revenues of this segment in 2Q2022 and 2Q2021.

This tariff segment, subject to ENARGAS regulation, received its last tariff increase of 60% on March 1, 2022 following three years of no increments.

2 Q2022 EARNINGS RELEASE

The decrease in operating profit before depreciation was mainly explained by lower revenues given the tariff adjustment, which did not offset the negative variation associated with the inflation restatement effect under IAS 29 and the higher operating expenses.

Liquids Production and Commercialization

Liquids Production and Commercialization revenues accounted for approximately 58% and 62% of total revenues in 2Q2022 and 2Q2021, respectively. During 2Q2022, production reached 266,105 tons (11,318 tons higher than 2Q2021).

Operating profit before depreciation in this business segment during 2Q2022 was Ps. 1,202 million below 2Q2021, reaching Ps. 6,043 million (compared to Ps. 7,245 million recorded in 2Q2021). This variation stems mainly from lower revenues of Ps. 2,040 million, which was partially compensated by a reduction in the cost of natural gas consumed (lower natural gas consumption offset by the increase in higher prices denominated in U.S. dollars) and the export withholding tax charge of Ps. 143 million.

Liquids revenues were Ps. 16,206 million in 2Q2022 compared to Ps. 18,246 million in 2Q2021. We highlight the impact of the restatement in accordance with IAS 29, which resulted in a decrease of Ps. 6,602 million.

Total volumes dispatched decreased 18%, or 51,385 tons, compared to 2Q2021. This decline stems from lower revenues of Ps. 2,639 million, and was mainly due to lower exported tons of propane and butane that resulted from the impossibility of exporting to meet domestic demand, and ethane delivered to our only customer, which was unable to receive the product due to maintenance work at its facilities.

The breakdown of volumes dispatched by market and product and revenues by market is included below:

2 Q2022 EARNINGS RELEASE

These effects were partially offset by the increase in international reference prices of Ps. 2,924 million, the nominal variation in the exchange rate on U.S. dollar-denominated revenues of Ps. 2,296 million and the higher price of ethane of Ps. 1,379 million.

Other Services and Telecommunications

This business segment mainly includes services such as midstream and telecommunications, representing approximately 13% and 9% of our total revenues in 2Q2022 and 2Q2021, respectively.

Operating profit before depreciation increased by Ps. 711 million mainly as a result of a Ps. 867 million increase in revenues in 2Q2022, which was partially offset by the increase in the operating costs of Ps. 146 million.

The increase in revenues was primarily explained by: (i) higher natural gas transportation and conditioning services at Vaca Muerta area amounting to Ps. 1,189 million, and (ii) the nominal effect of the exchange rate on U.S. dollar-denominated revenues of Ps. 323 million. These effects were partially offset by the impact of IAS 29 restatement of Ps. 1,010 million.

2 Q2022 EARNINGS RELEASE

Below is a reconciliation of the free cash flows for the 2Q2022 and 2Q2021:

2Q2022 vs. 2Q2021

During 2Q2022, cash flow (used in) / provided by operating activities amounted to Ps. 2,632 million, Ps. 8,429 million below 2Q2021, and is mainly explained by higher income tax payments as well as an increase in working capital.

Cash flow used in investing activities amounted to Ps. 1,369 million in 2Q2022, compared to Ps. 5,425 in 2Q2021, mainly due to the collection of financial assets not considered cash equivalents made during 2Q2022. This effect was partially offset by higher payments for PPE acquisition of Ps. 532 million.

Finally, cash flow used in financing activities decreased by Ps. 532 million.
