1.1. Overview of Argentine Electricity Market

Transactions among different participants in the electricity industry take place through the wholesale electricity market ("WEM") which is a market in which generators, distributors and certain large users of electricity buy and sell electricity at prices determined by supply and demand ("Term market") and also, where prices are established on an hourly basis based on the economic production cost, represented by the short term marginal cost measured at the system's load center ("Spot market"). CAMMESA (Compañía Administradora del Mercado Mayorista Eléctrico Sociedad Anónima) is a quasi-government organization that was established to administer the WEM and functions as a clearing house for the different market participants operating in the WEM. Its main functions include the operation of the WEM and dispatch of generation and price calculation in the Spot market, the real-time operation of the electricity system and the administration of the commercial transactions in the electricity market. Currently, the Term market has CAMMESA as sole seller, in accordance with Section 9 of SE Resolution No. 95/2013.

After the Argentine economic crisis in 2001 and 2002 and the Convertibility Law, the costs of generators increased as a result of the Argentine peso devaluation. In addition, the price of fuel for their generation increased as well. The increasing generation costs combined with the freezing of rates for the final user decided by the Secretariat of Energy lead to a permanent deficit in CAMMESA accounts, which faced difficulties to pay the energy purchases to generators. Due to this structural deficit, the Secretariat of Energy issued a series of regulations to keep the electricity market working despite the deficit.

Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 59/2023

On February 7, 2023, Resolution No. 59/2023 ("Resolution 59") was published in the Official Gazette whereby generators with combined cycle units are authorized to adhere to the Power Availability and Efficiency Improvement Agreement (the "Agreement") so as to foster the necessary investments for major and minor maintenance of the equipments.

Through this agreement, adhering generators commit to reach, at least, 85% of monthly average power availability in exchange of a new power and energy price formed, in part, by amounts denominated in US dollars. In the case of power, a 2,000 USD/MW-month, plus the amount in ARS corresponding to the 85% and 65% of the power value established by Resolution 826 is set for the spring/autumn and summer/winter periods, respectively. Additionally, the price for generated energy is set at 3.5 USD/MWh in case of using gas, and at 6.1 USD/MWh in case of alternative fuel (gasoil) use.

On April 25, 2023, CAMMESA accepted the subscription to the Agreement of all the Group's combined cycle units, except for the unit so-called Buenos Aires that belongs to Central Costanera S.A. Hence, an increase in the remuneration of these units for their sales to the spot market occurred from the transactions since March 2023.

CENTRAL PUERTO S.A.

Regarding Buenos Aires combined cycle, on July 28, 2023 CAMMESA agreed to the Agreement subscription by Central Costanera S.A. (valid as from July transactions), once the Secretariat of Energy successfully ordered CAMMESA the following regarding the mentioned thermal unit: a) conversion to mono-fuel, i.e. operation just with natural gas, eliminating the possibility of operation with gas oil; and b) the adequation of the installed capacity to the real technical possibility of energy generation by the combined cycle. During the month of October 2023, the corrective maintenance tasks of this unit were concluded, therefore, the increases in the remuneration of this unit were applied as from the transactions of October 2023.

Secretariat of Energy Resolution No. 574/2023

On July 11, 2023, Resolution N. 574/2023 was published, which extended for 60 days (with the possibility of being extended for 60 days more) the termination date for the Concession Agreement of the Hydroelectric Power Station Piedra del Águila, among other Argentine Hydroelectric Power Stations, whose concession term ends during 2023. This way, the Company extended the useful life of generators and auxiliary equipment of Piedra del Águila hydroelectric power station so that they depreciate up to the new termination date of the concession agreement of Piedra del Águila hydroelectric power station.

Energy Secretariat Resolution No. 750/2023

On September 6, 2023, the Energy Secretariat Resolution No. 750/2023 ("Resolution 750") was published in the Official Gazette. Resolution 750 updated the amounts of remuneration for power and energy for the generation which is not committed in contracts. Thus, Annexes I to IV of Resolution 826 were replaced and a 23% increase as from September 1, 2023 was established.

Energy Secretariat Resolution No. 869/2023

On October 30, 2023, the Energy Secretariat Resolution No. 869/2023 ("Resolution 869") was published in the Official Gazette. Resolution 869 updated the amounts of remuneration for power and energy of the generation which is not committed in contracts. Thus, Annexes I to IV of Resolution 750 were replaced and a 28% increase as from November 1, 2023 was established.

2. Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

2.1. Applied professional accounting standards

The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the regulations in force of the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) on Chapter III, Title IV of the CNV Regulations (N.T. 2013 as amended). Under section 1 of such section of the Regulations, companies issuing negotiable instruments must present their condensed consolidated financial statements applying Technical Resolution 26 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences ("FACPCE"), which resolution establishes the application of the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), its amendments and adoption circulars of IFRS that FACPCE may establish in accordance with such Technical Resolution. Interim condensed financial statements must apply the International Accounting Standard 34 ("IAS") "Interim Financial Reporting".

2.2. Basis of presentation and consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 were prepared applying the financial information framework prescribed by CNV as mentioned in Note 2.1.

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Group applied the significant accounting policies, estimates and assumptions described in Notes 2.3 and 2.4 of the issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

These condensed consolidated financial statements include all the necessary information for a proper understanding by their users of the relevant facts and transactions subsequent to the issuance of the last annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and up to the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. However, these condensed consolidated financial statements include neither all the information nor the disclosures required for the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 1 (Presentation of financial statements). Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements must be read together with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

CENTRAL PUERTO S.A.

The Group's condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Argentine pesos, which is the Group's functional currency, and all values have been rounded to the nearest thousand (ARS 000), except when otherwise indicated.

2.2.1. Measuring unit

The condensed consolidated financial statements as at September 30, 2023, including the figures for the previous period were restated to consider the changes in the general purchasing power of the functional currency of the Group (Argentine peso) pursuant to IAS 29 and General Resolution no. 777/2018 of the Argentine Securities Commission. Consequently, the financial statements are stated in the current measurement unit at the end of the reported period.

The effects caused by the application of IAS 29 are detailed in Note 2.2.2 to the issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The inflation was 103.15% and 66.07% in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

2.3. Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted using the acquisition method when the Group takes effective control of the acquired company.

The Group will recognize in its financial statements the acquired identifiable assets, the assumed liabilities, any non-controlling interest and, if any, goodwill according to IFRS 3.

The acquisition cost is measured as the aggregate of the transferred consideration, measured at fair value on that date, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The Group will measure the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportional interest in the identifiable net assets of the acquiree.

If the business combination is made in stages, the Group will measure again its previous holding at fair value at the acquisition date and will recognize income or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Goodwill is measured at cost, as excess of the transferred consideration regarding the acquired identifiable assets and the net assumed liabilities of the Group. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the identifiable assets and of the assumed liabilities, the difference is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is higher than the consideration paid, the Group reassesses whether it has properly identified all the assets acquired and all the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired in comparison to the consideration paid, then the gain is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

As described in Notes 11.1 and 11.2, dated February 17, 2023 and May 3, 2023, the Group acquired 75.68% of the Company Central Costanera S.A., as well as an additional 0.0093% of such Company in a subsequent public acquisition offering, and 100% of the companies Empresas Verdes Argentina S.A., Las Misiones S.A. and Estancia Celina S.A., respectively.

Regarding the described acquisitions, the Company is finishing to gather the necessary information to complete the identifiable assets and assumed liabilities identification and valuation process under the time- window set forth by IFRS 3. The Company will base such process on independent assessments to be made by specialists.

2.4. Changes in accounting policies

New standards and interpretations adopted

As from the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022, the Group has applied for the first time certain new and/or amended standards and interpretations as issued by the IASB.

Below is a brief description of the new and/or amended standards and interpretations adopted by the Group and their impact on these consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:

-

What is meant by a right to defer settlement.

-

That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period.

-

That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right.

-

That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.

The amendments did not have a significant impact on the Group´s consolidated financial statements.

Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to IAS 8

In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8, in which it introduces a definition of "accounting estimates". The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. Earlier application is permitted as long as this fact is disclosed.

The amendments did not have a significant impact on the Group´s consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2

In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements, in which it provides guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their 'material' accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures.

The amendments to IAS 1 are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 with earlier application permitted. Since the amendments to the Practice Statement 2 provide non-mandatory guidance on the application of the definition of material to accounting policy information, an effective date for these amendments is not necessary. The Group has revisited their accounting policy information disclosures to ensure consistency with the amended requirements. These amendments did not have a significant impact on the Group´s consolidated financial statements.

After such maturity dates, Corporate Bonds Class I and Class II were fully paid.

7.3.9. CPSA Program of Corporate Bonds

On July 31, 2020, the Special Shareholders' Meeting of the Company approved the creation of a new global issuance program of corporate bonds for a maximum amount of up to USD 500,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currency), which shall be issued at short, mid or long term, simple, not convertible into shares, under the terms of the Corporate Bonds Act (the "Program"). Moreover, the Board of Directors was granted the powers to determine and establish the conditions of the Program and of the corporate bonds to be issued under it provided they had not been expressly determined at the Shareholders' Meeting. On October 29, 2020, CNV approved the creation of such program, which shall expire on October 29, 2025, in accordance with the regulations in force.

Within this program framework, the Company issued two types of corporate bonds.

The characteristics of this CB are the following: i) face value issued: USD 37,232,818, ii) interest rate, determined by bidding: 7%, iii) periodicity of the interest coupon: six months, iv) amortization: bullet, v) term: 30 months to be counted as from September 17, 2023 and vi) applicable law and deposit place: Argentina, Caja de Valores S.A. On the other hand, on October 17, 2023, the paying in and liquidation of the international bond denominated "10% Senior Notes due 2025" (Class B CB) took place.

As a result of this process, the Company issued additional USD 10,000,000 for the Class A CB, with an issuance price of 102.9%.

11. Contracts, acquisition and agreements

11.1. Shares purchase agreements with Enel Group

On February 17, 2023, Proener S.A.U. acquired 531,273,928 shares from Enel Argentina S.A., which represent 75.68% of the capital stock and votes from Enel Generación Costanera S.A. (currently, Central Costanera S.A.). The total purchase price amounted to USD 48,000,000. Pursuant to the CNV applicable regulations, on March 17, 2023, a mandatory public acquisition offering ("OPA") at an equitable price with respect to the remaining outstanding shares was announced. Such was approved by CNV on May 23, 2023. The offering reception period was opened from May 30, 2023 to June 12, 2023, and offerings from a total of 17 shareholders, owners of 65,100 shares, representing approximately 0.0093% of the issued and outstanding shares of Central Costanera S.A. were accepted, which were acquired at a $94.189 price per share by Proener S.A.U.

On the same date, Proener S.A.U. entered into a shares purchase agreement with Enel Argentina S.A. and Enel Américas S.A., by virtue of which, subject to the exercise of the preemptive right of the remaining shareholders, Enel Américas S.A. agreed to sell to Proener S.A.U. its interest in Inversora Dock Sud S.A. and Enel Argentina S.A. agreed to sell to Proener S.A.U. its interest in Central Dock Sud S.A. The total purchase price for both holdings amounted to USD 54,000,000. On March 17, 2023, Proener S.A.U. was informed by Enel Argentina S.A. and Enel Américas S.A. that the remaining shareholders have decided to exercise their preemptive right. This way, once the stocks purchase was accomplished by the remaining shareholders during April 2023, Proener S.A.U. terminated the shares purchase agreement on April 25, 2023.

11.2. Forest companies' acquisition

On May 3, 2023, Proener S.A.U. acquired 100% of capital stock and votes of companies Empresas Verdes Argentina S.A., Las Misiones S.A. y Estancia Celina S.A. The purchase price amounted to USD 29,881,340. Such companies own forest assets that are made of approximately 88,063 hectares in Corrientes province, from which 26,000 are planted with pine tree (over a total 36,000 hectares plantable area).

11.3. Acquisition of solar farm

On October 18, 2023, Proener S.A.U. directly acquired 100% of the share capital and votes of Cordillera Solar VIII S.A. and Scatec Equinor Solutions Argentina S.A., owner and operating companies, respectively, of a solar farm located in the province of San Juan, with an approximate power of 105 MW.

12. Measures in the Argentine economy

Foreign exchange market

As from December 2019, the BCRA issued a series of communications whereby it extended indefinitely the regulations on Foreign Market and Foreign Exchange Market issued by BCRA that included regulations on exports, imports and previous authorization from BCRA to access the foreign exchange market to transfer profits and dividends abroad, as well as other restrictions on the operation in the foreign exchange market.

Particularly, as from September 16, 2020, Communication "A" 7106 established, among other measures referred to human persons, the need for refinancing the international financial indebtedness for those loans from the non-financial private sector with a creditor not being a related counterparty of the debtor expiring between October 15, 2020 and March 31, 2021. The affected legal entities were to submit before the Central Bank a refinancing plan under certain criteria: that the net amount for which the foreign exchange market was to be accessed in the original terms did not exceed 40% of the capital amount due for that period and that the remaining capital had been, as a minimum, refinanced with a new external indebtedness with an average life of 2 years. This point shall not be applicable when indebtedness is taken from international entities and official credit agencies, among others. On February 25, 2021, through Communication "A" 7230, BCRA broadened the regulation scope to all those debt installments higher than USD 2 million becoming due between April 1 and December 31, 2021. The effects of these regulations for the Company are described in Note 7.3.3. and 7.3.11. Moreover, on March 3, 2022 and October 13, 2022, through Communications "A" 7466 and "A" 7621, BCRA broadened the regulation scope to all those debt installments higher than USD 2 million becoming due until December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These updates had no effect on the Company, except for the loan described in Note 7.3.11.

In case of discrepancy, the consolidated financial statements filed with the CNV prevail over this translation.

CENTRAL PUERTO S.A.

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, restrictions imposed by BCRA have been increased, due to additional restrictions established both for imports payment and foreign exchange market operation.

Income Tax

On June 16, 2021, the Argentine Executive Power passed Law No. 27630, which established changes in the corporate income tax rate for the fiscal periods commencing as from January 1, 2021. Such law establishes payment of the tax based on a structure of staggered rates regarding the level of accumulated taxable net income. The estimated amounts in this scale will be annually adjusted as from January 1, 2022, considering the annual variation of the consumer price index provided by the INDEC corresponding to October of the year prior to the adjustment compared with the same month of the previous year. For fiscal year 2022 the applicable scale was the following: 25% up to an accumulated taxable net income of 7.6 million Ps.; 30% for the excess of such amount up to 76 million Ps.; and 35% for the excess of such amount. For fiscal year 2023 the applicable scale is the following: 25% up to an accumulated taxable net income of 14.3 million Ps.; 30% for the excess of such amount up to 143 million Ps.; and 35% for the excess of such amount.

13. Restrictions on income distribution

Pursuant to the General Legal Entities Law and the Bylaws, 5% of the profits made during the fiscal year must be assigned to the statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 20% of the Company's Capital Stock.

Within the framework of the amendments to the loan agreement with Citibank N.A., JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding INC described in Note 7.3.3, there was a restriction for the payment of dividends until 80% of the loan's principal and interest are paid. Thus, during 2021 no dividends could be paid while during 2022 and 2023 dividends can be paid up to USD 25 million and USD 20 million, respectively. Due to the advanced partial payment of the balance of such loan on October 19, 2023 as described in Note 7.3.3, through which more than 80% of the loan was paid, this limitation is no longer applicable as from that date.

The profits that are distributed to human persons of Argentina and abroad and foreign legal entities are subject to a withholding of 7% as dividend tax, to the extent that such profits correspond to fiscal years closed after December 31, 2017.

14. Subsequent events

There are no other events or transactions that occurred between the end of the period and the date of issuance of these financial statements that may significantly affect these financial statements.

REVIEW REPORT ON INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the board of directors of

CENTRAL PUERTO S.A.

I. Report on financial statements

Introduction

1. We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Central Puerto S.A. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2023, the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods then ended, the statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, and selected explanatory notes.

Responsibility of the Company's management on financial statements

2. The Company's management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Company's consolidated financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE for its acronym in Spanish) as professional accounting standards and incorporated by the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV for its acronym in Spanish) in its regulations, as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and, therefore, it is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1 pursuant to International Accounting Standard No. 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34). The management is also responsible for the internal control it deems necessary for interim consolidated financial reporting to be prepared free from material misstatements, whether due to errors or irregularities.

Auditor's responsibility

3. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1, based on our review, which was conducted in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity", issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). Such standard requires the auditor to comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements of the entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

4. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1 have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

II. Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In compliance with current regulations, we report that:

a.

On the basis of our review, nothing came to our attention that would lead us to believe that the financial statements referred to in paragraph 1 above are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the relevant rules of the General Companies Law and the CNV.

b.

The financial statements referred to in paragraph 1 are transcribed in the book Inventories and Balance Sheets and arise from accounting records kept, in their formal aspects, in accordance with the legal regulations in force and in accordance with the conditions established in Resolution No. 3070/EMI of the CNV dated September 11, 1999.

c.

The information included in points 2, 3 and 5 in the "Analysis of financial conditions and results of operations for the periods ended September 30 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019", which is presented together with the financial statements to comply with CNV regulations, arise from the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2023 and from the condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30 2022, 2021, 2020 y 2019, which are not included in the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on which we have issued our limited review reports dated November 9, 2022, November 9, 2021, November 11, 2020 and November 11, 2019 respectively, to which we refer and which should be read together with this report, restated in purchasing power currency as of the end of the current period.

d.

At September 30, 2023, the liabilities accrued in employee and employer contributions to the Argentine Integrated Social Security System according to the Company's accounting records amounted to $182.083.162, none of which was claimable at that date.
