Income tax recorded a negative variation of Ps. 4,415.2 million in 4Q2019.

Financial results showed a negative variation of Ps. 3,326.9 million, mainly as a result of the foreign exchange loss in 4Q2019 compared to the foreign exchange income recorded in 4Q2018.

Operating profit amounted to Ps. 4,797.1 million in 4Q2019, Ps. 128.6 million higher than in 4Q2018. This variation was mainly due to:

  • Lower revenues of Ps. 1,067.1 million. This decrease was mainly related to lower revenues at the Natural Gas Transportation and the Natural Gas Liquids ("Liquids") Production and Commercialization business segments, by Ps. 734.6 million and Ps. 348.6 million, respectively.
  • Operating costs and Administrative and selling expenses decreased by Ps. 935.7 million, compared to 4Q2018.
  • Other operating results, net decreased by Ps. 260.0 million in 4Q2019 as compared to 4Q2018.

Quarterly Highlights during 4Q2019

  • The execution of thefive-year investment plan April 2017 - March 2022 within the framework of the Comprehensive Tariff Review Process ("RTI") involved capital expenditures of Ps. 1,954.7 million.

  • In December, 2019, the commissioning of the northern tranche of the Vaca Muerta Norte natural gas pipeline connectingLos Toldosand Rincon la Cenizareservoirs and the conditioning plant was carried out. With this commissioning, the Company completed the infrastructure committed for 2018 in that area.
  • On December 23, 2019, the National Congress passed Law No. 27,541 - "Law on Social Solidarity and Productive Reactivation" within the framework of the Public Emergency, which, among other issues empowers the National Executive Branch to initiate a process to renegotiate the current RTI or initiate an extraordinary review within a maximum period of 180 days, with the goal of reducing real tariffs for households, businesses and industries in 2020. It also empowers the intervention of the National Gas Regulatory Body ("ENARGAS") forone-year term.
  • Within the framework of the share buyback program approved in November 2019, the Company made share acquisitions in the amount of Ps. 730.8 million.

Analysis of the results

4Q2019 vs. 4Q2018

TGS posted total revenues of Ps. 12,845.1 million in 4Q2019, a Ps. 1,067.1 million decrease compared to Ps. 13,912.2 million recorded in 4Q2018.

Revenues from the Natural Gas Transportationsegment are mainly derived from firm contracts, under which pipeline capacity is reserved and paid, regardless of actual usage by the shipper. The Natural Gas Transportation business segment represented approximately 40% and 42% of TGS' total revenues during 4Q2019 and 4Q2018, respectively.

Revenues from the Natural Gas Transportation segment in 4Q2019 decreased by Ps. 734.6 million, compared to 4Q2018. This negative variation was mainly due to the negative effect of the inflation restatement following the provisions of IAS 29 - "Financial Information in Hyperinflationary Economies" ("IAS 29") of Ps. 1,997.9 million which was partially offset by the tariff increases granted within the RTI framework, at a nominal rate increase of 26% granted as of April 1, 2019 (Ps. 1,061.7 million).

Additionally, during 4Q2019 the services provided by interruptible natural gas transportation and exchange and displacement increased by Ps. 184.4 million.

Liquids Production and Commercialization revenues accounted for approximately 54% and 52% of the total revenues in 4Q2019 and 4Q2018, respectively. During 4Q2019, production reached 321,076 short tons, which was 7,329 short tones lower than the production of 4Q2018.

Liquids revenues decreased by Ps. 348.6 million, amounting to Ps. 6,906.9 million in 4Q2019. This variation was mainly due to: (i) the impact of the restatement according to IAS 29 of Ps. 2,453.8 million, (ii) the nominal variation in international reference prices that led to a decrease in revenues of Ps. 1,001.9 million, and (iii) the decrease in the volumes of ethane sold by Ps. 833.5 million. These effects were partially offset by the increase in the

nominal variation of the exchange rate on revenues denominated in US dollars that amounted to Ps. 2,523.8 million, the volumes of propane and butane dispatched by Ps. 876.7 million and higher logistics services provided.

Additionally, total volumes dispatched increased by 8.7%, or 27,680 short tons in 4Q2019, compared to 4Q2018, which were mainly related to higher exported tons, an effect that was partially offset by the lower volume of ethane taken by PBB Polisur S.R.L.

Other Servicesbusiness segment includes midstream and telecommunication activities. As a percentage of the Company's total revenues, this segment accounted for approximately 6% of the revenues in 4Q2019 and 4Q2018.

Other Services revenues increased by Ps. 16.1 million in 4Q2019 compared to 4Q2018. This increase was mainly due to the increase in the nominal exchange rate of Ps. 218.4 million, and the beginning of the rendering of the natural gas transportation and conditioning services in Vaca Muerta of Ps. 102.6 million. These effects were partially offset by the restatement following IAS 29 of Ps. 244.2 million and the decrease in construction services rendered for Ps. 86.1 million.

Operating costs and administrative and selling expenses,without including depreciation, decreased by approximately Ps. 945.6 million in the 4Q2019 compared to 4Q2018. This variation is mainly explained by (i) the decrease in natural gas costs processed in the Cerri Complex of Ps. 461.4 million, given by the restatement effect following the provisions of IAS 29 (which was partially offset by higher trading costs and an increase in the volumes and price of the natural gas purchased as RTP measured in Argentine pesos, while the price in US dollars suffered a decrease), (ii) the lower fees paid to third parties for Ps.

318.9 million, (iii) doubtful accounts provisions by Ps. 201.5 million, and (iv) turnover tax and tax on exports of Ps. 205.5 million. These effects were partially offset by the increase in the ENARGAS license fee of Ps. 51.3 million and labor costs of Ps. 92.3 million.

The positive variation of Ps. 260.0 million in the other operating resultswas mainly due to the disposal of Property, plant and equipment made during 4Q2018.

Financial resultsare presented in gross terms considering the effects of change in the currency purchasing power ("Gain on monetary position") in a single separate line. In 4Q2019, financial results recorded a negative variation of Ps. 3,326.9 million compared to 4Q2018. This variation was mainly due to the effect of the net foreign exchange loss

3672 Don Bosco St. (1206), Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. http://www.tgs.com.ar/en/investors/our-company

recorded in 4Q2019 as opposed to the net foreign exchange income in 4Q2018 of Ps. 2,856.1 million, the lowest interest generated by assets of Ps. 627.7 million due to the lower capital invested and the negative result obtained by the derivative financial instruments of Ps. 562.3 million. These effects were partially offset by the positive impact of the gain in monetary position of Ps. 660.1 million as a result of the increase in the net monetary liability position.

For 4Q2019, TGS reported a loss for income taxof Ps. 900.7 million, compared to a gain of Ps. 3,456.2 million in 4Q2018. This variation is mainly due to the positive effect recorded in 4Q2018 for the exercise of the option of fiscally revaluing fixed assets, net of the special tax paid for this reason.

Full Year 2019 (FY2019 or 2019) vs. Full Year 2018 (FY2018 or 2018)

In FY2019, TGS reported total revenues of Ps. 48,561.5 million compared to Ps. 52,399.5 million registered in 2018, a decrease of Ps. 3,838.0 million.

Revenues from the Natural Gas Transportationsegment during FY2019 decreased by Ps. 1,165.3 million compared to FY2018. The negative variation was mainly due to the effect on the restatement according to IAS 29 as well as the fall in the interruptible natural gas transportation services and exchange and displacement services. These effects were partially offset by the tariff increases in nominal terms authorized by the Resolutions No. 310/2018, 265/2018 and 192/2019.

Revenues derived from theLiquids Production and Commercialization segment decreased Ps. 2,440.2 million in FY2019 from FY2018, mainly as a result of: (i) the negative impact of the restatement in accordance with IAS 29 of Ps. 7,568.4 million, (ii) the decrease in international reference prices for Ps. 4,745.8 million and (iii) the decrease in ethane volumes of Ps. 2,034.7 million. These effects were partially offset by the positive effect on the foreign exchange rate of the Argentine peso with respect to the US dollar at Ps. 9,531.2 million together with higher volumes of propane and butane sold for Ps. 1,619.4 million.

Other Services revenuesdecreased by Ps. 232.5 million in FY2019 compared to FY2018. The decrease was mainly due to: (i) the effect of restatement according to IAS 29 of Ps.

931.6 million, (ii) lower construction services provided during FY2019 of Ps. 215.1 million and, (iii) lower operating and maintenance services of Ps. 86.8 million. These effects were

partially offset by the increase in the exchange rate on revenues denominated in US dollars of Ps. 790.6 million and natural gas services at Vaca Muerta of Ps. 153.7 million.

Operating costs, administrative and commercialization expenses,excluding depreciation, in FY2019 decreased by Ps. 697.7 million, or 2.7% compared to FY2018. This variation is mainly due to the decrease in: (i) the cost of natural gas processed at the Cerri Complex of Ps. 1,059.5 million, which was due to the decrease in natural gas prices denominated in Argentine pesos, (ii) lower fees for services provided by third parties of Ps.

744.5 million, and (iii) doubtful accounts by Ps. 201.5 million. These effects were partially offset by the increase in: (i) expenses for repair and maintenance of Property, plant and equipment, incurred primarily for the operation of the natural gas transportation system of Ps. 620.5 million, (ii) taxes, fees and contributions accrued of Ps. 466.0 million, mainly due to tax on exports; and (iii) labor costs of Ps. 352.9 million.

Other operating resultsrecorded a positive variation of Ps. 1,242.8 million mainly as a result of the recognition in May 2018 of the adverse award of the Arbitration held with Pan American Energy S.L. Suc. Arg. and Pan American Sur S.A. This effect was partially offset by the higher negative charge for contingency provisions made in FY2019.

In FY2019, financial resultsshowed a positive variation of Ps. 1,481.1 million from FY2018. This variation is mainly due to: (i) the positive effect of the gain on monetary position of Ps. 4,298.7 million, and (ii) a greater capitalization of financial costs according to IFRS of Ps.

446.2 million. These effects were partially offset by lower interest income generated by assets of Ps. 2,919.7 million as a result of the lower investment in financial assets denominated in Argentine pesos during FY2019.

Income taxrecorded a negative variation of Ps. 3,945.6 million, mainly as a result of the recognition during fiscal year 2018 of the tax benefit, net of the special tax paid, generated by the tax revaluation carried out in accordance with current legislation.

4Q2019 vs. 4Q2018

During 4Q2019, net increase in cash and cash equivalents and free cash flow amounted to Ps. 8,624.3 million and Ps. 620.6 million, respectively.

During 4Q2019,cash flow generated by the operating activities amounted to Ps. 4,703.0 million, Ps. 6,057.9 million below 4Q2018. This was mainly due to a variation in working capital.

Cash flow provided by investing activities amounted to Ps. 3,856.8 million mainly for the collection of financial assets not considered cash equivalents. This effect was partially offset by payments made to fulfill the capital expenditures investment plan to conclude theFive-YearInvestment Plan and development of the midstream business at Vaca Muerta.

Finally, cash flow used for financing activitiesamounted to Ps. 64.5 million due to the proceeds from export pre-financing loan during 4Q2019, which was partially offset by the higher amounts for the acquisition of treasury shares and the dividend payment.

Cash flow used for investing activitiesamounted to Ps. 16,643.9 million and was mainly due to payments made to fulfill the capital expenditures investment plan to conclude the Five-Year Investment Plan and development of the midstream business at Vaca Muerta project. On the other hand, during 2019 there was an increase in cash flow applied to the acquisition of financial assets not considered as cash and cash equivalents.

Cash flow used for financing activitiesamounted to Ps. 11,318.6 million in 2019, compared to Ps. 3,152.2 million registered in 2018. The variation was due to loans, net of cancellations made during 2018 and the higher dividend payment made during 2019.
