BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Nov. 11, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pampa Energia S.A. (NYSE: PAM; Buenos Aires Stock Exchange: PAMP) ("Pampa" or the "Company"), the largest integrated electricity company in Argentina that, through its subsidiaries, participates in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, announces today its results corresponding to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. All figures are stated in Argentine pesos and have been prepared in accordance with Argentine GAAP.
Highlights for the Nine-month Period ended September 30, 2010
Consolidated net sales of AR$3,638.3 million, 11.2% greater than the AR$3,271.7 million for the same period of 2009, mainly due to 21.8% (AR$319.3 million) and 4.7% (AR$73.8 million) increases in net sales from our generation and distribution segments, respectively, partially offset by reductions in net sales of 7.7% (AR$17.1 million) and 96.7% (AR$14.0 million) from our transmission and holding segments, respectively.
Consolidated EBITDA(1) of AR$510.7 million, 22.1% lower than the AR$655.2 million for the same period of 2009, mainly due to decreases of 20.5% (AR$53.6 million), 19.8% (AR$14.7 million), and 24.5% (AR$83.8 million) in the generation, transmission and distribution segments, respectively, partially offset by a reduction in the loss in the holding segment (AR$7.6 million).
Consolidated net loss of AR$81.8 million, compared to a consolidated net gain of AR$254.7 million for the same period of 2009, mainly due to a reduction in operating income, lower gains from the repurchases of our own subsidiaries' debt, and the loss from the write off of the investment in San Antonio Global that was recorded in our holding segment during the second quarter of 2010.
Highlights for the Third Quarter of 2010
The financial information presented in this document for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 is derived from the unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with Argentine GAAP for the nine-month periods September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Consolidated net sales of AR$1,364.6 million in the third quarter of 2010, 12.8% greater than the AR$1,209.5 million for the same period of 2009, mainly due to increases in net sales of 18.8% (AR$116.2 million) and 8.3% (AR$42.9 million) from our generation and distribution segments, respectively, that compensated for decreases in net sales of 95.3% (AR$5.3 million) from our holding segment. The net sales from our transmission segment remained stable (AR$69.7 million) in the periods considered.
Consolidated EBITDA(1) of AR$154.0 million, 22.7% lower than the AR$199.1 million for the same period of 2009, mainly due to reductions of 23.4% (AR$19.0 million), 24.4% (AR$6.1 million), and 21.4% (AR$21,2 million) in our generation, transmission, and distribution segments, respectively, partially offset by a decreased loss of AR$1.1 million from our holding segment.
Consolidated net gain of AR$0.1 million in the third quarter of 2010, 99,8% lower than the AR$58.5 million for the same period of 2009, mainly due to a reduction in operating income and lower gains from the repurchases of our own subsidiaries' debt.
