Strong Production Growth and Rincón de Aranda Ramp-Up
Total annual average production exceeded 84,000 boe/d (up 8% YoY and +73% since 2017). Rincón de Aranda ramped from <1,000 bpd at the start of the year to reach a 20,000 bpd goal by December; Q4 average for the field ~17,100 bpd (a 19% QoQ increase). Company target: ~28,000 bpd by mid-2026 and 45,000 bpd by 2027.
Record Reserves and Reserve Replacement
Total proven reserves rose 28% to 296 million boe; shale reserves up 55% YoY to 204 million boe. Reserve replacement ratio of 3.2x and extended average life to 10.2 years.
EBITDA Expansion and Segment Strength
Consolidated EBITDA grew 8% YoY, surpassing $1.0 billion for the year. Q4 adjusted EBITDA was $230 million (+26% YoY). Oil & Gas Q4 adjusted EBITDA was $77 million (more than doubled YoY). Power Q4 EBITDA was $111 million (+28% YoY).
Power Market Position and Availability
Pampa consolidated a 15% share of Argentina's net electricity output and achieved a 94% thermal availability rate in 2025 (91% in Q4, with scheduled maintenance and one outage). Under new market guidelines, the company captured stronger spot prices and recontracted B2B volumes (~70 MW signed across >100 contracts).
Balance Sheet Strength and Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents stood at $1.1 billion at Q4 end (up $210 million vs. September). Gross debt nearly $1.9 billion (down 9% vs Dec 2024). Issued a $450 million 2037 bond (20-year), extending average debt life to ~8 years; net debt ~$801 million (net leverage ~1.1x).
CapEx Investment to Support Growth
2025 CapEx reached a record $1.4 billion (roughly half into Rincón de Aranda). 2026 planned allocations discussed included ~$770 million for Rincón de Aranda, ~ $400 million for maintenance across operations, and project-related CapEx (TGS/private initiatives) referenced (~$600 million). Q4 CapEx rose 81% YoY to $371 million (of which $249 million invested in Rincón).
Operational Efficiency and Cost Improvements
Lifting cost per boe averaged $8 (down vs prior year); gas lifting cost ~ $1.2/MMBtu Y/Y (flat), and oil lifting cost declined sharply to below $11/bbl in Q4 from $36 in prior-year Q4 due to Rincón ramp-up and divestments of mature blocks.
Commercial and Strategic Wins
Increased vertical integration after market deregulation: self-procurement rose to 41% in January 2026 and Plan Gas exposure fell (Plan Gas/GSAs represented 37% in Dec/Q4). First binding long-term FLNG contract signed (2 mtpa with German agency/CFA). Management expects the new resolution to drive ~10–15% uplift in power-segment EBITDA vs. 2025.
