The Company’s activities and the market in which it operates expose it to a series of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and commodity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company’s risk management framework establishes that a risk map is determined that measures the potential impact of each of them on the financial situation and results of operations. Based on this, the Executive Officers are responsible for defining the policies, procedures, limits and measures aimed at mitigating the impact of said risks.

The sensitivity analyzes included below are based on the change in one of the factors while all others remain constant. In practice, this is unlikely to happen, and changes in several factors can be correlated, for example, in variations in the interest rate and variations in the foreign currency exchange rate.

Sensitivity analysis only provides limited vision, at one point in time. The actual impact on the Company’s financial instruments could vary significantly with respect to the impact shown in the sensitivity analysis.

In view of the main impacts of the aforementioned situation and those detailed in Note 1 to these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has implemented a series of measures to mitigate their impact. In this sense, the Company’s Management permanently monitors the evolution of the situations that affect its business, in order to determine the possible actions to be taken and identify the eventual impacts on its equity and financial situation. The Company considers that its current financial position will allow it to comply, in the short term, with its foreign currency commitments. The Company’s financial statements should be read in light of these circumstances.

The Company is primarily exposed to the fluctuation of the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the Argentine Peso due to the fact that almost its entire financial indebtedness is denominated in U.S. dollars. The exposure to other currencies is not significant.

As regards to the revenue derived from the Natural Gas Transportation segment, the tariffs charged by the Company are currently denominated in Argentine pesos. On the other hand, revenues in US dollars derived from the Liquids Production and Commercialization segment accounted for approximately 87% of the segment’s total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. Total operating cost denominated in Argentine Pesos accounted for 81%, 83% and 81% for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

tgs’ financial risk management policies are defined with the objective of mitigating the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the Company’s foreign currency position. To this end, alternative investment evaluations are regularly carried out to diversify tgs’ investment portfolio among instruments denominated in U.S. dollars or, although denominated in Argentine pesos, to obtain positive returns in real terms.

Additionally, if deemed appropriate, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments that allow hedging the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar on the positions in such currency in the long term.

However, the Company, in order to mitigate the impact on the future variation of the exchange rate, has placed funds in assets denominated in U.S. dollars. As of December 31, 2023, 91% of the Company’s fund placements are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Management of the Company estimates that, based on the net liability position as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, a 10% appreciation in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the Argentine peso, with all other economic-financial variables stable, could have resulted in a pre-tax loss of Ps. 6,378,820 and Ps. 6,152,241, respectively. A 10% depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Argentine peso would have an equal and opposite effect on the Statement of Comprehensive Income. This sensitivity analysis is theoretical as the actual impacts could differ significantly and vary over time.

In order to mitigate the exchange rate risk, during fiscal year 2023, tgs has allocated its short-term investment in financial instruments to protect its financial position from the devaluation in order to hedge exposure to the risk associated with the exchange rate that derives from its financial debt.

Interest rate risk management seeks to reduce financial costs and limit the Company’s exposure to increases in interest rates. tgs’ exposure to risks associated with interest rate variations is limited given that all of its financial debt is subject to fixed interest rates. Information regarding the Company’s financing is disclosed in Note 13.

In addition, the main objective of the Company’s financial investment activities is to obtain the highest return by investing in low-risk and highly liquid instruments. The Company maintains a portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments comprised of investments in mutual funds and deposits in interest-bearing bank accounts, public and private securities. The risk of these instruments is low since they are mostly short-term and highly liquid in recognized financial institutions.

As a consequence of the application of IAS 29, maintaining monetary assets generates loss of purchasing power, provided that such items are not subject to an adjustment mechanism that compensates to some extent the loss of purchasing power. This loss of purchasing power is included in the result of the period under gain on the net monetary position. On the contrary, maintaining monetary liabilities generates a gain in purchasing power, which are also included in such line item.

The Company’s risk management policies are defined with the objective of reducing the impact of the loss of purchasing power. During the 2023, 2022 and 2021 fiscal years the Company has maintained a liability monetary position. As a consequence, tgs has recorded a net gain from exposure to inflation in the monetary items.

	Financial assets				Financial liabilities⁽¹⁾
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Fix interest rate		214,572,395		133,336,086		450,154,594		278,443,497
Variable interest rate		1,873,673		137,714		-		-
Total		216,446,068		133,473,800		450,154,594		278,443,497

In view of the nature of the Company’s financial assets which bear variable interest, an immediate 100 basis points decrease in the interest rate would not have a significant impact on the total value of the financial assets.

Commercial operations performed by the Company in its Liquids Production and Commercialization business segment are affected by a number of factors beyond its control, including changes in the international prices of the products sold, and government regulations on prices, taxes and other charges, among others.

The sales prices of exported propane, butane and natural gasoline are determined according to international reference prices (Mont Belvieu for propane and butane and NWE ARA for natural gasoline). Additionally, most of the total sales of propane and butane that are made in the domestic market are made at prices set by the Ministry of Energy for the different market segments.

Based on volume of sales for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, tgs estimated that, other factors being constant, a decrease of US$ 50 per ton in the international price of LPG and natural gasoline, respectively, would have decrease the Company’s net comprehensive income in its Liquids Production and Commercialization segment in Ps. 13,547,004, Ps. 9,987,506 and Ps. 13,636,139, respectively. On the other hand, an increase of US$ 50 per ton in the international price would have had the opposite effect.

The Company’s exposures to credit risk takes the form of a loss that would be recognized if counterparties failed to, or were unable to, meet their payment obligations. These risks may arise in certain agreements in relation to amounts owed for physical product sales, the use of derivative instruments, and the investment of surplus cash balances. This risk mainly results from economic and financial factors or from a possible default of counterparty.

The Company is subject to credit risk arising from outstanding receivables, cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, and from the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company’s policy is to manage credit exposure to trading counterparties within defined trading limits.

To measure the expected credit loss, receivables from sales have been grouped according to their characteristics in terms of credit risk and the time that has elapsed since maturity.

If any of the Company’s customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, the Company assesses the credit quality of the customer taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. The Company may seek cash collateral, letter of credit or parent company guarantees, as considered appropriate.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company provides natural gas transportation services mainly to natural gas distribution companies, CAMMESA and Pampa Energía. The amounts of net sales made to the principal customers to which Natural Gas Transportation services were provided in the years ended December 31,2023, 2022 and 2021 and the sales receivable balances (net of allowances) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are set forth below:

The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and other financial placements is limited since tgs has short-term fund placement policies whose main objective is to obtain an adequate return based on market characteristics and minimizing risk exposure. These placements are diversified in different financial institutions with adequate credit ratings in order to limit exposure to a few financial institutions. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk will be given by the carrying value of assets included in cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets at amortized cost.

Below is a detail of the maturities of the financial assets included in (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) other financial assets, (iii) trade receivables and (iv) other receivables as of December 31, 2023 and 2022:

tgs has policies for borrowing funds whose main objective is to cover financing needs at the lowest cost according to market conditions. One of the Company’s main objectives is to have financial solvency. Given the current conditions of the financial market, the Company believes that the availability of resources and the positive cash flow from operations are sufficient to meet its current obligations, despite having credit lines for borrowing funds.

Additionally, a methodology is used for the analysis and assignment of credit limits to the different financial entities in order to minimize the associated liquidity risk. In line with this, the Company invests its liquid funds in financial entities with an adequate credit rating.

Below is a detail of the maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities corresponding to: commercial debts, remunerations, other debts and financial debts as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The amounts presented in the tables represent contractual undiscounted cash flows and, therefore, do not correspond to the amounts presented in the statement of financial position. These estimates are made on the basis of information available at the end of each year and may not reflect actual amounts in the future.

The Company’s objectives in managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, to achieve an optimal cost of capital structure and to support the investment process in order to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders.

The Company monitors capital on the basis of the leverage ratio. This ratio is calculated as total financial debt (including “current financial debt” and “non-current financial debt” as shown in the Statement of Financial Position) divided by total capital. Total capital is calculated as “Shareholders’ Equity”, as shown in the Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, plus total financial debt.

Accounting policies for the categorization of financial instruments were explained in Note 4.e. In accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards 7, IAS 32 and IFRS Accounting Standards 9, non-financial assets and liabilities, such as contract and supplier liabilities, tax and social charges, income tax and deferred income tax are not included.

According to IFRS Accounting Standards 13, the fair value hierarchy introduces three levels of inputs based on the lowest level of input significant to the overall fair value. These levels are:

•

Level 1: includes financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are estimated using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The instruments included in this level primarily include balances in mutual funds and public or private bonds listed on the Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. (“BYMA”). Within this level, the Company includes those derivate financial instruments for which it was able to find an active market.
