Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call emphasized strong operational momentum (record production, rapid Rincon de Aranda ramp-up, significant YoY EBITDA growth, improved drilling/completion efficiency, and strategic capacity wins) while also highlighting near-term cash and working capital pressures (negative free cash flow, hedge collateral, prepayments for pipeline capacity), some operational outages and mark-to-market volatility from hedges. Management communicated credible plans to sustain ramp-up, access financing (recent bond issuance) and gradually deleverage as EBITDA grows, while noting several near-term cash commitments and hedge effects.Company Guidance
Record Production and Rincon de Aranda Ramp-Up
Total production exceeded 100,000 boe/d (new quarterly all-time high). Rincon de Aranda averaged 18,200 bbl/d in Q1 (up 7% QoQ) and is producing approximately 25,000 bbl/d as of the call. Rincon de Aranda contributed ~17% of quarter EBITDA and 54% of Oil & Gas segment EBITDA (up from 15% a year ago). Exit rate exceeded 21,000 bbl/d; target 28,000 bbl/d by mid-2026 and a 45,000 bbl/d plateau once central processing and pipeline are online.
Strong Adjusted EBITDA Growth
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $325 million, up 48% YoY and 41% QoQ. Oil & Gas adjusted EBITDA was $104 million (2.5x YoY). Power Generation adjusted EBITDA was $144 million, up 11% YoY and 30% QoQ.
Improved Operational Efficiency at Rincon de Aranda
Drilling performance improved from ~200 m/day to ~330 m/day (>50% improvement). Completion activity rose from ~7 to ~9 stages/day (+30%), reflecting shorter cycle times and higher execution efficiency.
CapEx Deployment Supporting Growth
Quarterly CapEx was $242 million (+36% YoY), of which $163 million was invested in developing Rincon de Aranda, supporting the ongoing ramp-up and midstream investments.
Lower Lifting Costs
Average lifting cost fell to $6.1/BOE (down 11% YoY and 23% sequentially). Gas lifting cost was $0.90/mmbtu (down 10% YoY and 23% QoQ). Oil lifting costs declined to below $10/bbl from $41/bbl in Q1 last year.
Gas Production and Exports Growth
Gas production rose 17% YoY and 28% QoQ to ~14 million m3/d. Exported volumes increased 65% YoY to ~1.5 million m3/d; E&P expects exports levels to continue through the year.
Strategic Gas Transportation Capacity Secured
Pampa secured 3.2 million m3/d (27% of expansion capacity and ~67% of the first tranche) in the Perito Moreno pipeline expansion. The 35-year transport contract required prepayment (~$330 million VAT included, payable in 4 installments) and expansion expected to start winter 2027.
Successful Bond Issuance
In April, Pampa issued $200 million of 3-year bullet notes at a competitive fixed rate of 5.49%, reflecting market access and financing capability.
Budget and Forward EBITDA Expectations
Management shared budget figures (not formal guidance): parent company EBITDA ~ $1.0 billion (E&P ~$600M, Power ~$400M), consolidated (including affiliates) ~ $1.3 billion. Management expects EBITDA growth and gradual deleveraging as ramp-up continues.
Project Pipeline: RIGI and Urea
RIGI application submitted for northern Rincon de Aranda to support faster ramp-up and sustain plateau; full-field development estimated at ~$4.5 billion. Urea project under development (target 2 Mt/yr); potential sales roughly $1 billion at historical prices; FID target by end-Q3 or Q4 2026 if pursued.
