BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pampa Energía S.A. (NYSE: PAM; Buenos Aires Stock Exchange: PAMP), an independent energy company with active participation in Argentine oil, gas and electricity, announces the results for the nine-month period and quarter ended on September 30, 2026.
Pampa reports its financial information in US$, its functional currency. For local currency equivalents, transactional exchange rate ('FX') is applied. However, Transener and Transportadora de Gas del Sur's ('TGS') figures are adjusted for inflation as of September 30, 2026, and converted to US$ using the period-end FX. Previously reported figures remained unchanged.
Third quarter 2026 ('Q3 26') main results 1
Sales reached US$790 million in Q3 26 2 , up 34% year-on-year, mainly driven by the normalization of the Wholesale Electricity Market's ('WEM'), which supported higher spot energy prices and B2B ('Business to Business') sales, increased gas sales to our CCGTs ('Combined Cycles'), growing crude oil sales and stronger Reformer prices. These effects were partially offset by lower gas deliveries under Plan Gas GSA ('Gas Sale Agreement') and to industrial customers, as well as the impact of crude oil hedges
Thermal power generation marginsstood out during Q3 26, supported by their efficiency and vertical integration with our gas upstream business.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled US$398 million, up 23% year-on-year, reflecting higher thermal generation margins in the spot and B2B markets, together with the benefits of vertical integration between gas production and thermal power generation, offset by the impact on crude oil hedges.
Net income attributable to shareholders reached US$129 million, 6 times Q3 25,mainly driven by lower deferred income tax expense and improved operating margins, partially offset by lower FX gains.
Net debt stood at US$1.731 billion as of September 2026, vs. US$1.319 billion as of June 2026, reflecting higher capital expenditures, mainly at FEPASA ('Fértil Pampa S.A.U.'), equity contributions to affiliates under development, prepayments related to the GPM expansion, and collateral posted for crude oil hedging, partially offset by operating cash flow generation and dividends received from Transener.
