- Firm gas transport became the majority of TGN's dispatched volumes during the first nine months.
- Lower financial recoveries and weaker currency-related results weighed on earnings compared with the prior-year period.
- The company is preparing a major pipeline project while operating without financial debt at the end of September.
Transportadora de Gas del Norte shifted more of its business toward firm gas transport in the nine months through September, according to Shale24 on November 11, 2026. Firm volumes reached 9.793 billion cubic meters, up 7.9 percent from the prior-year period, and accounted for 54.5 percent of total dispatched gas.
TGN earned ARS 146.980 billion in the first nine months, compared with ARS 214.136 billion a year earlier. Sales declined 2.1 percent to ARS 550.410 billion, while EBITDA fell 4.9 percent to ARS 303.055 billion, leaving an EBITDA margin of 55 percent. The figures are stated in constant pesos as of September 30.
Tariff changes weigh on earnings
The earnings decline reflected a much smaller recovery of financial-asset impairments and weaker currency-related financial results. The company also said that the tariff reconfiguration reduced the expected revenue flow for the regulatory year ending April 30, 2027, although the total revenue requirement for the five-year tariff period remained unchanged.
Local transport revenue decreased, while export revenue increased. Regulated activities represented 94.2 percent of revenue, and the new peso-based tariff regime also applies to gas transported for export.
Pipeline plan raises capital needs
TGN ended September without financial debt after repaying local peso borrowings. Its largest planned investment is the Gasoducto Manuel Belgrano, which would connect Tratayen in Neuquen with La Carlota in Cordoba and add transport capacity for power plants and industry. Management expects to seek long-term shipper contracts and advance payments to support the project, with a final investment decision planned for the first quarter of 2027.
TGN's business and competitive position
Transportadora de Gas del Norte operates natural-gas transmission infrastructure in Argentina, including the North and Central-West pipeline systems, and serves local and export markets. Its regulated transmission network places it alongside Transportadora de Gas del Sur in Argentina's gas-transmission industry, while TGN's operating focus is the country's northern and central-western corridors. The company is controlled through Gasinvest, whose shareholders are Tecpetrol and Compania General de Combustibles, according to TGN's investor information.
