3Q 2020 EARNINGS RELEASE
3Q2020 Highlights
- On August 21, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new buy-back program to buy the company's own shares in the markets where they are traded. This program is capped at a maximum nominal amount of Ps. 3,000 million, and will be effective until March 22, 2021.
- On that same day, during the Shareholders' Meeting, other issues were approved, including the current composition of the Board of Directors and the Statutory Committee.
COVID-19 and the measures adopted
The COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a global collapse in the demand for products and services as a consequence of the lockdown measures adopted by countries to stop the spread of the virus, as along with tensions in the oil market, created a climate of unprecedented volatility and uncertainty that triggered significant declines of commodity prices as well as the stock markets.
During 3Q2020, the social and preventive isolation measures ordered by the Argentine government continued following the adoption of Decree No. 297/2020 issued on March 20, 2020. Presently, despite certain flexibilities the measures have been extended to November 8, 2020.
All TGS' activities are considered an essential public service and, despite the social and preventive isolation measures in place, as such, the company has been providing normal services taking into account all the necessary protection measures for our personnel and the communities in which we operate.
Furthermore, considering the situation affecting our operations and financial results, we have implemented a series of measures to mitigate the impact and guarantee the continuity of our operations and the health of our employees, including:
- Adoption of all measures ordered by the government to ensure the health of our employees and the communities where we operate,
- Optimization of capital investments and operating and administrative expenses, without affecting the safety and reliability tasks that allow us to operate the pipeline system in accordance with current regulations,
- Suspension of works that do not affect the integrity of the natural gas pipeline system,
- adopting a comprehensive daily control of cash flow to optimize its use and protect its value.
In the Natural Gas Transportation segment, tariffs remained unchanged. Similarly, as a result of the prevention measures mentioned above, there were some delays in the collection process from our main customers during March and April, affecting our receivables. Such delays were partially normalized by the end of the second quarter of 2020. In 3Q2020, all collections for this business segment are meeting the usual deadlines.
During 3Q2020 natural gas deliveries declined due to lower economic activity and the isolation measures. However, 82% of our revenues in the Natural Gas Transportation business segment corresponds to firm natural gas transportation services.
The Liquids production and commercialization segment recorded unchanged prices for liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG") in the domestic market following the provisions of Decree No. 311/2020, while international reference prices for liquids declined abruptly in March, and have been recovering since then.
On the other hand, the operations at the Cerri Complex were carried out without interruptions and in accordance to the sanitary protocols, reaching a production level of 325,573 short tons in 3Q2020 (63% above those registered in 3Q2019 after PBB Polisur S.R.L. ("PBB") was unable
2
3Q 2020 EARNINGS RELEASE
to take the ethane due to an accident at its plant).
Considering our current financial position and the measures taken previously, we estimate that we will have sufficient resources to meet our current working capital needs, finance capital expenditures and pay off short-term financial debt without incurring in additional debt.
Despite the aforementioned measures, the scale and duration of these developments remain uncertain and could impact our operating results, cash flow and financial condition, but they will depend on the severity of the health emergency and the success of the government's measures adopted thus far as well as any future ones.
Analysis of the results
TGS posted total revenues of Ps. 12,905 million in 3Q2020, a Ps. 340 million increase compared to Ps. 12,565 million recorded in 3Q2019.

Total | 6,016 | 6,912 | (896) |
Operating costs and administrative and selling expenses, excluding depreciation, decreased by approximately Ps. 896 million in 3Q2020 compared to 3Q2019. This variation is mainly explained by: (i) lower operating costs as a result of measures adopted to mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19,(ii) lower labor costs, (iii) lower taxes, fees and contributions (due to decrease in export taxes and turnover tax), partially offset by the increase in natural gas costs, given the higher natural gas volume purchased, which partially offset by the restatement effect following the provisions of IAS 29 and a decrease in the price.
Financial results are presented in gross terms considering the effects of change in the currency purchasing power ("Gain on monetary position") in a single separate line. In 3Q2020, financial results recorded a positive variation of Ps. 853 million compared to 3Q2019. This

3Q 2020 EARNINGS RELEASE
variation is mainly due to the positive impact of the lower devaluation recorded in 3Q2020, which was partially offset by the result generated by financial assets.
Analysis of operating profit by business segment
Natural Gas Transportation
Operating profit before depreciation of the Natural Gas Transportation segment decreased by Ps. 1,398 million.

Natural gas transportation revenues accounted for approximately 39% and 56% of total revenues in 3Q2020 and 3Q2019, respectively.
Revenues from this segment derived mainly from firm natural gas transportation contracts and represented approximately 82% and 81% of the revenues of this segment for 3Q2020 and 3Q2019, respectively.

3Q 2020 EARNINGS RELEASE
This tariff segment, subject to ENARGAS regulation, received its last tariff increase as from April 1st, 2019 following Resolution No. 192/2019.
The decrease in operating profit was mainly related to lower revenues given the lack of a tariff adjustment to compensate for the negative variation associated with the restatement effect due to inflation under IAS 29. This effect was partially offset by the cost reduction measures adopted in order to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our operations.
Liquids Production and Commercialization
Liquids Production and Commercialization revenues accounted for approximately 53% and 36% of total revenues in 3Q2020 and 3Q2019, respectively. During 3Q2020, production was 125,757 short tons higher than 3Q2019, reaching 325,573 short tons.

Operating profit before depreciation of this business segment increased in 3Q2020 by Ps. 2,325 million compared to 3Q2019. This significant increase was mainly due to higher revenues of Ps. 2,312 million, and was partially offset by the higher cost of natural gas.
Liquids revenues were Ps. 6,821 million in 3Q2020, Ps. 2,312 million higher than 3Q2019. This is mainly due to: (i) higher revenues of ethane by Ps. 2,197 million, resulting from the reduction in 3Q2019 due to PBB's inability to take the product after the incident at its facilities,
- an increase in propane and butane exported volume by Ps. 631 million; and, (iii) an increase in the nominal variation of the exchange rate on revenues denominated in US dollars
5
3Q 2020 EARNINGS RELEASE
that amounted to Ps. 1,030 million. These effects were partially offset by the restatement impact under IAS 29 of Ps. 1,087 million, and the nominal change in prices that resulted in a decrease in sales revenue of Ps. 565 million.
Total volumes dispatched increased by 73%, or 150,397 short tons in 3Q2020, compared to 3Q2019, resulting mainly from higher short tons of ethane and higher exported volume of propane and butane.

Operating profit | 457 | 239 | 218 | 91% |
Operating profit before depreciation increased by Ps. 324 million (79%) mainly as a result of a Ps. 101 million increase in revenues in 3Q2020 compared to 3Q2019, and a Ps. 209 million decrease in operating costs principally due to lower expenses incurred by the joint venture for the construction of a natural gas pipeline in the province of Santa Fe ("UT").
The increase in revenues was mainly due to higher natural gas transportation and conditioning services at Vaca Muerta area amounting to Ps. 362 million, and the nominal effect of the exchange rate on U.S. dollar-denominated sales of Ps. 272 million. These effects were partially offset by the restatement effect under IAS 29 of Ps. 273 million, fewer operation and maintenance services of Ps. 111 million, fewer UT construction services of Ps. 65 million, fewer steam generation services of Ps. 54 million, and fewer natural gas compression services of Ps. 51 million.

- Free cash flows is a non-IFRS financial measure, we define the free cash flows as the cash flows generated by operating activities less the payments made for the acquisition of PPE. Our management considers it as useful for investors and management as a measure of our ability to generate cash that will be used to pay the scheduled debt maturities and that can be used to invest in future growth through new business activities, business development, dividend payment, buy back treasury shares or other financing and investment activities. The free cash flows should not be interpreted as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS as the one presented here may not be comparable with similar denomination measurements reported by other entities.

3Q 2020 EARNINGS RELEASE
During 3Q2020, cash flow generated by the operating activities amounted to Ps. 8,222 million, Ps. 5,202 million above 3Q2019. This increase was mainly due to higher operating profit before depreciation, a decrease in the working capital and lower income tax payments.
Cash flow provided by investing activities amounted to Ps. 12,524 million in 3Q2020, compared to Ps. 4,335 million of cash flow used in investing activities during 3Q2019 mainly related to the payment for the acquisition of financial assets not considered cash equivalents amounting to Ps. 11,108 million, partially offset by lower capital expenditures investment of Ps. 2,919 million after the conclusion of construction of the midstream business at Vaca Muerta, and due to the impact of COVID-19.
Finally, cash flow used for financing activities amounted to Ps. 347 million. The decrease compared to 3Q2019 was mainly due to the lower amounts allocated to the repurchase of treasury shares.
