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

Market Background and Outlook
In the past month, oil prices have recovered above
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.

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.

EBITDA | 1,408,771 | 805,869 | 2,885,578 | 1,433,199 |
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.

Free cash flow | 1,176,473 | 353,343 | 1,980,155 | 259,805 |
Net Cash / (Debt)
This is the net balance of cash and cash equivalents, other current investments and fixed income investments held to maturity less total borrowings. It provides a summary of the financial solvency and liquidity of the company. Net cash / (debt) is widely used by investors and rating agencies and creditors to assess the company’s leverage, financial strength, flexibility and risks.
Net cash/ debt is calculated in the following manner:
Net cash = Cash and cash equivalents + Other investments (Current and Non-Current)+/- Derivatives hedging borrowings and investments - Borrowings (Current and Non-Current).
Net cash/debt is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

Operating working capital days
Operating working capital is the difference between the main operating components of current assets and current liabilities. Operating working capital is a measure of a company’s operational efficiency, and short-term financial health.
Operating working capital days is calculated in the following manner:
Operating working capital days = [(Inventories + Trade receivables – Trade payables – Customer advances) / Annualized quarterly sales ] x 365
Operating working capital days is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.
