Executed $67 million bank loans for project-related imports.

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- Q4 2025 net income: ARS 124 billion (down 27% YoY) due to impairment reversal (ARS 52.1 billion in Q4 2024), financial losses (ARS 17.9 billion), and liquids EBITDA decline (ARS 18.1 billion). Midstream EBITDA surged 36% to ARS 60.7 billion from higher Vaca Muerta volumes (33 million cu/day vs 28 million cu/day YoY) and monetary effects.
- Natural Gas Transportation EBITDA: ARS 109.8 billion (flat YoY) despite ARS 31.9 billion tariff adjustments offset by ARS 40.9 billion inflation loss. Liquids EBITDA: ARS 83.9 billion (down 17% YoY) due to lower export prices (-31.1 billion) and climate event costs (+ARs 13.7 billion monetary offset). Cash position: ARS 1.8 trillion ($1.25 billion) driven by bond issuance, with 57% EBITDA from non-regulated businesses.

**【Q&A Highlights】**

- **Dividends**: No plans for 2026 due to project funding needs. 
- **CapEx Outlook**: $600 million in 2026 (Perito Moreno expansion: $500 million, maintenance: $100 million).
