BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Nov. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Pampa Energía S.A. (NYSE: PAM; Buenos Aires Stock Exchange: PAMP), the largest independent energy integrated company in
Argentina, with active participation in the country's electricity and gas value chain, announces
the results for the nine-month period and quarter ended on September 30, 2018. All figures are
stated in Argentine Pesos and have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards except the
application of IAS 29.
Main Results for the Nine-Month Period Ended on September 30, 2018
('9M18')1
In order to reflect the financial performance, as from 2018 and for the comparative periods, financial results, selling and
administrative expenses, which used to be assigned to holding and others, will be redistributed among power generation, oil and
gas and petrochemicals.
Consolidated net revenues of AR$66,028 million2, 82% higher than the AR$36,216 million for the same period
of 2017 ('9M17'), explained by increases of 110% in power generation, 98% in electricity distribution, 51% in oil and gas, 38% in
petrochemicals and 162% in holding and others, partially offset by 21% of higher eliminations due to intersegment sales.
- Power Generation of 11,520 GWh from 12 power plants
- Electricity sales of 16,520 GWh to 3 million end-users
- Production of 45.6 thousand barrels per day of hydrocarbons
- Sales of 267 thousand tons of petrochemical products
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA3 for continuing operations of AR$23,961 million, compared to AR$10,689
million for 9M17, mainly due to increases of AR$5,046 million in power generation, AR$4,524 million in electricity distribution,
AR$1,159 million in oil and gas, AR$100 million in refining and distribution, AR$2,488 million in holding and others and lower
intersegment eliminations of AR$8 million, partially offset by higher losses of AR$53 million in petrochemicals.
Consolidated loss attributable to the owners of the Company of AR$6,783 million, lower than the AR$3,094 million gain
in 9M17, mainly explained by the AR$31,210 million loss accrued due to 121% of AR$ depreciation against US$ in 9M18, currency in
which most of the Company's financial liabilities are denominated, whereas the FS reports in AR$, without inflation
adjustment.
Main Results for the Third Quarter of 2018 ('Q3 18')4
Consolidated net revenues of AR$26,310 million, 96% higher than the AR$13,415 million for the third quarter 2017 ('Q3
17'), explained by increases of 107% in power generation, 108% in electricity distribution, 80% in oil and gas, 52% in
petrochemicals and 246% in holding and others, partially offset by 41% of higher eliminations due to intersegment sales.
- Power Generation of 3,572 GWh from 12 power plants
- Electricity sales of 5,626 GWh to 3 million end-users
- Production of 45 thousand barrels per day of hydrocarbons
- Sales of 85 thousand tons of petrochemical products
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for continuing operations of AR$9,078 million, compared to AR$4,355 million for Q3 17,
mainly due to increases of AR$2,101 million in power generation, AR$1,033 million in electricity distribution, AR$567 million in
oil and gas, AR$94 million in refining and distribution, AR$1,056 million in holding and others, and lower intersegment
eliminations of AR$47 million, partially offset by losses of AR$175 million in petrochemicals.
Consolidated loss attributable to the owners of the Company of AR$7,135 million, lower than the AR$1,284 million gain
recorded in Q3 17, mainly explained by the accrual of AR$17,438 million loss due to 43% AR$ depreciation against US$ in Q3
18.
