Additionally, it should be noted that, under the
terms and conditions of the loans that our subsidiary Metrogas has
taken, the debt and interest service coverage ratio would not have
been complied with, which could have accelerated the maturities of
these financial liabilities. However, the financial creditors
formally accepted to waive Metrogas from complying with the
contractual obligation related to such financial ratios, as of
March 31, 2022.
6. SEGMENT
INFORMATION
The different segments in which the Group is
organized take into consideration the different activities from
which the Group obtains income and incurs expenses. The
aforementioned organizational structure is based on the way in
which the highest authority analyzes the main financial and
operating magnitudes for making decisions about resource allocation
and performance assessment also considering the Group’s business
strategy.
The Upstream segment carries out all activities
relating to the exploration, development and production of oil and
natural gas.
Revenue is generated from: (i) the sale of
produced crude oil to the Downstream segment and, marginally, from
its sale to third parties; (ii) the sale of produced gas to
the Gas and Power segment.
The Gas and Power segment generates revenue from
the development of activities relating to: (i) the natural gas
transportation to third parties and the Downstream segment, and its
commercialization (ii) the commercial and technical operation
of the LNG regasification terminals in Escobar and Bahía Blanca, by
hiring regasification vessels, and (iii) the separation and
distribution of natural gas and the generation of electric power
through its investments in associates and joint ventures.
On January 1, 2022, certain assets related to
gas transportation, conditioning and processing for the separation
of gasoline, propane and butane, which were previously managed by
the Upstream segment, were grouped into the new CGU Midstream Gas
within the Gas and Power segment. Because it is a new gas liquid
management model that did not exist in previous years, no
retroactive effect has been given to business segment information.
In addtion, the assets transferred and operating results are not
significant.
In addition to the proceeds derived from the sale
of natural gas to third parties and the intersegment, which is then
recognized as a “purchase” to the Upstream segment, and including
stimulus plans for natural gas production in force (see Note 35.d)
to the annual consolidated financial statements), Gas and Power
segment accrues a fee in its favor with the Upstream segment to
carry out such commercialization.
The Downstream segment develops activities relating
to: (i) crude oil refining and petrochemical production,
(ii) commercialization of refined and petrochemical products
obtained from such processes, (iii) logistics related to the
transportation of crude oil to refineries and the transportation
and distribution of refined and petrochemical products to be
marketed in the different sales channels.
It obtains its income from the marketing mentioned
in item (ii) above, which is developed through the Retail,
Industry, Agro, LPG, Chemicals, International Commerce and
Transportation, Lubricants and Specialties, and Sales to Companies
businesses.
It incurs in all expenses relating to the
aforementioned activities, including the purchase of crude oil from
the Upstream segment and third parties and the natural gas to be
consumed in the refinery and petrochemical industrial complexes
from the Gas and Power segment.

It covers other activities, not falling into the
aforementioned categories, nor do they constitute reportable
business segments, mainly including corporate administrative
expenses and assets and construction activities.
Sales between business segments were made at
internal transfer prices established by the Group, which generally
seek to approximate market prices. Operating profit and assets for
each segment have been determined after consolidation
adjustments.
