BUENOS AIRES, Argentina,
Nov. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pampa
Energía S.A. (NYSE: PAM; Buenos Aires Stock Exchange: PAMP), an
independent company with active participation in Argentina's electricity and gas value chain,
announces the results for the nine-month period and quarter ended
on September 30, 2021.
Pampa's financial information adopts US$ as functional currency,
and it's expressed in AR$ at the transactional nominal exchange
rate ('FX'). However, our affiliates Transener, TGS and Refinor
report under local currency. Hence, their figures are adjusted by
inflation as of September 30, 2021,
except for previous periods already reported.
Main results from the quarter[1]
49% year-on-year increase in sales, recording US$435
million[2] in
the third quarter 2021 ('Q3 21'), explained by the rise in
prices of oil, gas and petrochemical products, increased physical
volume sold in all our businesses and higher sales of own fuel to
thermal power plants.

27% year-on-year increase in the adjusted
EBITDA[3], recording
US$262 million in Q3 21,
explained by an increase of US$68
million in oil and gas, offset by decreases of US$6 million in power generation and US$6 million in holding and others.
Pampa recorded a consolidated profit attributable to the
Company's shareholders of US$131
million, US$53 million
higher than the third quarter 2020 ('Q3 20'), mainly due to better
operating margin in oil and gas, offset by higher losses from the
holding of financial securities and the own debt buyback profit
recorded in Q3 20.
Consolidated net debt decreased to US$917 million as of September 30, 2021, recording a continuous
and significant reduction (mainly AR$-nominated maturities)
compared to the US$1,148 million
recorded by the end of 2020.
