Pampa Energia S.A.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for waiting. I'm Margarita Chun from IAR, and we would like to welcome everyone to Pampa Energia's second quarter 2021 results video conference. We inform you that this event is being recorded, and all participants will be in listen-only mode during the presentation. After the company's remarks, there will be a Q&A session. Questions can only be submitted in writing through Zoom. Should any participant need assistance, please send us a chat message or email. Before proceeding, let me please read a disclaimer that is located on the second page of the presentation. Let me mention the forward-looking statements are based on Pampa Energia's management beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to the company. They involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions because they are related to future events that may or may not occur in the future. Investors should understand that general economic conditions, industry conditions, and other operating factors could also affect the future results of Pampa Energia and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Now I'll turn the video conference over to Lida Wang, our investor relations and sustainability officer of Pampa Energia. Lida, you may begin the video conference.

Thank you, Margarita.

Thank you, Margarita.
