On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a military attack on Ukraine. In response, several jurisdictions, including the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom imposed a wave of sanctions against certain Russian institutions, companies and citizens. The Russian government retaliated by ordering several economic counter measures, including restrictions on residents transferring foreign currency abroad.

Tenaris has so far found alternative sources in response to the interruption in supplies from Ukraine and the impact of sanctions on supplies from Russia but may still be faced with supply delays or forced to pay higher prices to secure the raw materials, in particular energy, required for its steelmaking operations. Although it is hard to predict how energy and commodity prices will continue to behave as the conflict unfolds, higher prices and possible shortages of energy and raw materials used in Tenaris’s steelmaking operations would result in higher production costs and potential plant stoppages, affecting its profitability and results of operations.
