Summary of 2023 Second Quarter Results
(Comparison with first quarter of 2023 and second quarter of 2022)
                                       ---------------------------------------

                                       ---------------------------------------
  Net sales ($ million)                    4,075   4,141   (2%)   2,800   46%
  Operating income ($ million)             1,278   1,351   (5%)     663   93%
  Net income ($ million)                   1,136   1,129     1%     634   79%

  Earnings per ADS ($)                      1.90    1.91     0%    1.08   76%
  Earnings per share ($)                    0.95    0.96     0%    0.54   76%
  EBITDA ($ million)                       1,409   1,477   (5%)     806   75%
  EBITDA margin (% of net sales)           34.6%   35.7%          28.8%

Our second quarter sales were close to the record level we posted in the first quarter reflecting a high level of offshore sales and of shipments to US onshore
customers, as well as an increase in sales in the Middle East. These effects largely compensated for slightly lower pricing in the onshore Americas and lower
OCTG sales in Colombia and Canada, and lower pipeline sales in Argentina. Sales also included $20 million from Global Pipe Company (GPC), a Saudi large diameter
pipe producer which became a majority owned subsidiary of Tenaris Saudi Steel Pipe, from May 17, 2023. Our EBITDA and operating income declined 5% affected by
lower sales and an increase in SG&A expenses. On the other hand, our net income reached 28% of sales as it benefitted from an improvement in finance results and
higher income from non-consolidated companies.
Our free cash flow for the quarter reached a record level of $1.2 billion, net of capex of $165 million. Free cash flow included a reduction of working capital
of $294 million as our operating working capital days declined to a low level of
120 days during the quarter. After a dividend payment of $401 million in May 2023, our net cash position increased to $2.3 billion at June 30, 2023.
Market Background and Outlook
In the past month, oil prices have recovered above $80 per barrel as the prospects for the US economy brighten and Saudi Arabia confirms its commitment to production cuts. North American natural gas prices, however, remain at low levels, while LNG and European natural gas prices have fallen back to more normal levels.
In the United States, the decline in oil and gas drilling activity seen in the first half should bottom out before the end of the year. This decline together with the accumulation of excess OCTG inventories, following a surge in imports in the first part of the year, is being reflected in pipe prices, which will affect our results through the rest of the year. In Canada, while drilling activity has held up so far this year, some of the operators we serve are reducing activity as they face cash flow restrictions. In Latin America, offshore drilling in Brazil and Guyana is expected to remain at a high level, but onshore drilling is being affected by political uncertainty in Colombia, Ecuador and Argentina. In the Eastern Hemisphere, activity continues to increase
particularly in the Middle East and offshore.
Following record results in the first half, we expect that our sales and margins
will be significantly lower in the second half. Although we expect our sales in the Middle East, led by Saudi Arabia, and to offshore projects to increase further, this will not compensate for a decline in sales in North and South America, which will reflect onshore pricing and activity declines as well as lower pipeline shipments. Our free cash flow will remain at a good level with a further reduction in working capital.

  (Net sales - $ million)
  North America                            2,142   2,229   (4%)   1,583   35%
  South America                              893     975   (8%)     462   93%

  Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa       612     519    18%     327   87%
  Total net sales ($ million)              3,918   3,975   (1%)   2,632   49%
  Operating income ($ million)             1,251   1,312   (5%)     636   97%
  Operating margin (% of sales)            31.9%   33.0%          24.2%

Net sales of tubular products and services decreased 1% sequentially but increased 49% year on year. On a sequential basis volumes sold decreased 2% due to a reduction in welded shipments while average selling prices increased 1%. In
North America, sales decreased as prices have started to adjust and due to seasonally lower sales in Canada. In South America we had lower sales for pipelines in Argentina following the completion of gas pipeline deliveries, lower sales in Colombia reflecting political uncertainty, partially offset by higher offshore sales in Brazil and Guyana. In Europe sales increased due to higher sales of line pipe and OCTG for offshore projects in Norway. In Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, we had higher sales in Saudi Arabia, including sales from Global Pipe Company, a large diameter welded pipe producer, subsidiary of Saudi Steel Pipe, which after an additional investment started to be consolidated since May 17, 2023.
Operating results from tubular products and services amounted to a gain of $1,251 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to a gain of $1,312 million in the previous quarter and $636 million in the second quarter of 2022.
Our operating margin decreased slightly mainly due to the effect of higher SG&A expenses on lower sales.
Others
The following table indicates, for our Others business segment, net sales,
operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the
periods indicated below:
                                -----------------------------------------
  Others                          2Q 2023      1Q 2023        2Q 2022
                                -----------------------------------------
  Net sales ($ million)               157     167    (6%)     168   (7%)
  Operating income ($ million)         27      40   (31%)      27     2%
  Operating margin (% of sales)     17.3%   23.8%           15.8%

Net sales of other products and services decreased 6% sequentially and 7% year on year. Sequentially, sales declined due to lower sales of oil services in Argentina and sucker rods, with their corresponding impact on operating income.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $529 million,
or 13.0% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $487 million, 11.8% in the previous quarter and $412 million, 14.7% in the second quarter of 2022. Sequentially, our SG&A expenses increased mainly due to higher provisions and labour costs and as a percentage of sales they increased also due to the reduction in sales.
Financial results amounted to a gain of $40 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $21 million in the previous quarter and a loss of $11 million in the second quarter of 2022. The net financial income result of the quarter amounted to a gain of $9 million and additionally we had net foreign exchange transaction gains of $33 million.
Equity in earnings of non-consolidated companies generated a gain of $96 million
in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $53 million in the previous quarter and $103 million in the second quarter of 2022. These results are mainly derived
from our participation in Ternium (NYSE:TX).
Income tax charge amounted to $278 million in the second quarter of 2023,
compared to $296 million in the previous quarter and $120 million in the second quarter of 2022.
Cash Flow and Liquidity of 2023 Second Quarter
Net cash generated by operating activities during the second quarter of 2023 was
$1.3 billion, compared to $921 million in the first quarter of 2023 and $428 million in the second quarter of 2022. During the second quarter of 2023 cash generated by operating activities includes a net working capital reduction of $294 million.
With capital expenditures of $165 million, our free cash flow amounted to $1.2 billion during the quarter. After a dividend payment of $401 million in May 2023, our net cash position amounted to $2.3 billion at June 30, 2023, from $1.7
billion at March 31, 2023.

Our sales in the first half of 2023 increased 59% compared to the first half of 2022 as volumes of tubular products shipped increased 30% and average selling prices increased 26% while sales in the Others segment decreased 2%. Following the increase in sales, EBITDA doubled thanks to the increase in margins, as the increase in prices of tubular products more than offset a 12% increase in unit cost of sales, year on year.
Cash flow provided by operating activities amounted to $2.3 billion during the first half of 2023, net of an increase in working capital of $167 million, which
reflects the recovery in activity levels. After capital expenditures of $282 million, our free cash flow amounted to $2.0 billion. Following a dividend payment of $401 million in May 2023, our net cash position amounted to $2.3 billion at the end of June 2023.

 Operating margin (% of sales)          32.5%   22.9%

Net sales of tubular products and services increased 63% to $7,892 million in the first half of 2023, compared to $4,836 million in the first half of 2022 due
to an increase of 30% in volumes and a 26% increase in average selling prices. Prices increased in all regions, while volumes increased in all regions except in Europe. Average drilling activity in the first half of 2023 increased 10% in the United States and Canada and 14% internationally compared to the first half of 2022.
Operating results from tubular products and services amounted to a gain of $2,563 million in the first half of 2023 compared to $1,107 million in the first
half of 2022. The improvement in operating results was driven by the recovery in
sales and margins. Following the increase in sales, operating income more than doubled thanks to the increase in margins, as the increase in prices more than offset a 12% increase in unit cost of sales, year on year.
Others
The following table indicates, for our Others business segment, net sales,
operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the
periods indicated below:
                                ------------------------------------------
  Others                          6M 2023   6M 2022   Increase/(Decrease)
                                ------------------------------------------
  Net sales ($ million)               324       332                  (2%)
  Operating income ($ million)         67        40                   68%
  Operating margin (% of sales)     20.6%     12.0%

Net sales of other products and services decreased 2% to $324 million in the first half of 2023, compared to $332 million in the first half of 2022, mainly due to lower sales of excess raw materials and pipes for civil and industrial installations in Europe, partially offset by higher sales of products and services for energy applications: oilfield services in Argentina, sucker rods and coiled tubing.
Operating results from other products and services amounted to a gain of $67 million in the first half of 2023, compared to $40 million in the first half of 2022. Results were mainly derived from our sucker rods business and our oilfield
services business in Argentina.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $1,016 million in the first half of 2023, representing 12.4% of sales, and $777 million
in the first half of 2022, representing 15.0% of sales. SG&A expenses increased mainly due to higher selling expenses (in particular commissions and freights) associated with higher sales and higher labor costs. However, they decreased as a percentage of sales due to the better absorption of fixed and semi-fixed components of SG&A expenses on higher sales.
Financial results amounted to a gain of $60 million in the first half of 2023,
compared to a loss of $13 million in the first half of 2022. Due to the increase
in our financial position and in interest rates, net finance income amounted to $26 million in the first six months of 2023, compared to $7 million in the first
half of 2022, which was negatively impacted by the decline in the fair value of certain financial instruments obtained in an operation of settlement of trade receivables. Additionally, other financial results amounted to a gain of $35 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to a $20 million loss in the first six months of 2022, these results being mainly related to foreign exchange
results.
Equity in earnings of non-consolidated companies generated a gain of $149 million in the first half of 2023, compared to a gain of $191 million in the first half of 2022. These results were mainly derived from our equity investment
in Ternium (NYSE:TX).
Income tax amounted to a charge of $574 million in the first half of 2023,
compared to $188 million in the first half of 2022. The increase in income tax reflects better results at several subsidiaries following the improvement in activity.
Cash Flow and Liquidity of 2023 First Half
Net cash provided by operating activities during the first half of 2023 amounted
to $2.3 billion (net of an increase in working capital of $167 million), compared to cash provided by operations of $401 million (net of an increase in working capital of $824 million) in the first half of 2022.
Capital expenditures amounted to $282 million in the first half of 2023,
compared to $141 million in the first half of 2022. Free cash flow amounted to $2.0 billion in the first half of 2023, compared to $260 million in the first half of 2022.
After a dividend payment of $401 million in May 2023, our net cash position increased to $2.3 billion at June 30, 2023, from $0.9 billion at December 31, 2022.

Exhibit I - Alternative performance measures
Alternative performance measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS
EBITDA, Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
EBITDA provides an analysis of the operating results excluding depreciation and amortization and impairments, as they are recurring non-cash variables which can
vary substantially from company to company depending on accounting policies and the accounting value of the assets. EBITDA is an approximation to pre-tax operating cash flow and reflects cash generation before working capital variation. EBITDA is widely used by investors when evaluating businesses (multiples valuation), as well as by rating agencies and creditors to evaluate the level of debt, comparing EBITDA with net debt.
EBITDA is calculated in the following manner:
EBITDA = Net income for the period + Income tax charges +/- Equity in Earnings (losses) of non-consolidated companies +/- Financial results + Depreciation and amortization +/- Impairment charges/(reversals)
EBITDA is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is a measure of financial performance, calculated as operating
cash flow less capital expenditures. FCF represents the cash that a company is
able to generate after spending the money required to maintain or expand its
asset base.
Free cash flow is calculated in the following manner:
Free cash flow = Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities - Capital
expenditures.
Free cash flow is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

Net Cash / (Debt)
