Consolidated revenues of AR$ 4,370.5 million, 23.9% lower than the AR$ 5,742.7 million for same period last year, mainly due to the fact that the tariff adjustments granted by ENRE Resolutions No. 68/2022 and 69/2022 were not sufficient to maintain the revenues level, measured in constant currency.

Consolidated EBITDA2 of AR$ 981.1 million, 59.8% lower than the AR$ 2,438.3 million for same period last year, mainly due to the decrease of AR$ 1,372.2 million in revenues.

Consolidated profit attributable to the owners of the company of AR$ 105.6 million, 84.6% lower than the AR$ 688.2 million for same period last year, mainly due to the decrease in revenues of AR$ 1,372.2 million, a lower loss in financial result of AR$ 307.2 million as a result of the cancellation of the Class 2 Notes in 2021, and a lower income tax charge of AR$ 550.2 million mainly due to the a decrease in the profit before tax.
