Positive
EBITDA Growth Amid Challenges: We achieved a strong level of EBITDA, 13% up sequentially and even higher 47% up in interannually, despite recent rain contract and extreme weather conditions in Patagonia during July that affected our conventional production.
Revenue Increase Driven by Sales: Revenues reached $5.3 billion, 7% up sequentially, mainly driven by higher seasonal sales of gas, as well as growing oil exports to Chile and better fuel prices.
Adjusted EBITDA Increase: Adjusted EBITDA totaled almost $1.4 billion, 13% up sequentially, primarily due to the higher seasonal sales of gas, coupled with higher shale hydrocarbon production and better fuel prices.
Hydrocarbon Production Increase: Total hydrocarbon production averaged 559,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day rising 4% sequentially and 8% interannually, driven by solid performance in our shale operations, which is our core business and focus since last December.
Shale Oil Production Increase: We produced 36% more shale oil than Q3 last year, now representing almost half of our total production.

Adjusted EBITDA Analysis: The adjusted EBITDA totaled almost $1.4 billion, primarily driven by higher seasonal gas sales, but was offset by increased costs related to extreme weather conditions and inflation.
