Pampa Energía announces six-month period and second quarter 2026 results
PR Newswire
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Aug. 4, 2026
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pampa Energía S.A. (NYSE: PAM; Buenos Aires Stock Exchange: PAMP), an independent energy company with active participation in Argentine oil, gas and electricity, announces the results for the semester and quarter ended on June 30, 2026.
Pampa reports its financial information in US$, its functional currency. For local currency equivalents, transactional exchange rate (‘FX’) is applied. However, Transener and Transportadora de Gas del Sur’s (‘TGS’) figures are adjusted for inflation as of June 30, 2026, and converted to US$ using the period-end FX. Previously reported figures remained unchanged.
Second quarter 2026 (‘Q2 26’) main results1
Sales reached US$746 million in Q2 262, up 53% year-on-year, driven by the Wholesale Electricity Market’s (‘WEM’) new deregulation framework, which supported higher spot energy prices and B2B PPA (‘Business to Business’) (‘Power Purchase Agreements’) sales, in addition to higher crude oil output and increased gas sales to power generation, and stronger Reformer prices. Lower Plan Gas and petrochemical volumes offset these effects
The Q2 26 reflected the continued ramp-up at Rincón de Aranda, alongside strong power generation performance, boosted by higher seasonal spot prices and the vertical integration with gas upstream.

Adjusted EBITDA3 totaled US$415 million, a 75% year-on-year increase, explained by higher contribution from RDA (‘Rincón de Aranda’), greater power and gas vertical integration and increased spot and B2B margins in power generation, partially offset by lower realized crude oil prices due to hedging.
Net income attributable to shareholders was US$172 million, 4.3x Q2 25, driven by stronger operating margins and lower income tax, partially offset by lower gains from financial instruments.
Net debt stood at US$1.3 billion as of June 2026, vs. US$801 million as of December 2025, reflecting higher capital expenditures on RDA and increased collateral requirements due to oil hedging.
