Tenaris Q2 Earnings Call Highlights
Interested in Tenaris S.A.? Here are five stocks we like better. Second-quarter performance weakened as sales fell 4% to $3 billion and EBITDA declined 12% sequentially to $649 million, pressured by Strait of Hormuz shipping disruptions, lower fixed-cost absorption, and higher raw-material and logistics costs. Tenaris approved a higher interim dividend of $0.59 per share ($1.18 per ADR), totaling about $600 million, supported by $396 million in quarterly free cash flow and $3.6 billion in net cash. Management expects second-half revenue and EBITDA to be roughly in line with the first half, while potential upside could come from resumed Gulf shipments, stronger fourth-quarter volumes and pricing, rising North American drilling activity, and an expanding offshore project backlog. Tyson Foods Offers a Meaty Opportunity for Income Investors Tenaris (NYSE:TS) reported second-quarter sales of $3 billion, down 4% from both a year earlier and the prior quarter, as shipping disruptions in the Middle East delayed deliveries to customers in Iraq, Kuwait and Qatar. Investor Relations Officer Giovanni Sardagna said the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz for most of the quarter prevented vessels from entering the Gulf.

The dividend is scheduled to be paid Nov. 25. Chief Executive Officer Gabriel Podskubka said the board’s decision to increase the interim dividend reflected Tenaris’ “strong balance sheet and sustained cash generation.” He said the company has favored dividends as a means of returning capital because of their simplicity and their role in preserving share liquidity. → Why the Landlord of the AI Boom Could Outlast the Chipmakers Podskubka said the board remains committed to shareholder returns broadly in line with prior levels, while retaining financial flexibility amid an uncertain environment and possible growth opportunities. He noted that future dividends remain subject to board decisions and shareholder approval, but indicated that the company’s historical pattern has been an interim payment representing about one-third of the total annual dividend, followed by the remaining portion in May. Tenaris has removed a near-term reopening of the Strait of Hormuz from its base-case forecast for the second half of 2026. The company previously assumed a relatively short disruption, but Podskubka said prolonged uncertainty prompted management to change that premise. The company now has approximately $130 million of material destined for Iraq, Kuwait and Qatar that is excluded from its base-case outlook. If navigation through the strait is restored, Tenaris expects it would take roughly 70 to 90 days to ship the material from its mills and invoice customers. Podskubka said the delayed shipments would represent upside to the company’s outlook, particularly because the products involved are premium, special-grade materials with relatively strong margins. Operations in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been less affected, he said, with Aramco and ADNOC maintaining drilling activity and Tenaris continuing supply despite added logistics challenges. Management expects second-half revenue and EBITDA to be in line with the first half, with the third quarter resembling the second quarter. The company expects a more meaningful increase in volumes and some pricing improvement in the fourth quarter, excluding any potential resumption of northern Gulf deliveries. Podskubka said fourth-quarter volumes are expected to exceed 1 million tons, which should improve fixed-cost absorption. He also said raw-material costs have increased throughout the year, but Tenaris is raising prices and expects the positive impact of those increases to be reflected in fourth-quarter sales and margins. Tenaris is seeing increased drilling activity across the United States, Canada and Argentina as customers pursue energy security and diversify supply sources, Podskubka said. Guillermo Moreno, president of Tenaris’ U.S. operations, said U.S. activity has increased by nearly 10% since the beginning of the conflict in Iran, representing about 50 additional rigs. The company expects another 10 to 15 rigs to be added through the rest of the year. Moreno said Tenaris expects U.S. shipments to increase in line with customer activity. Pipe Logix pricing has risen around 9% since the start of the year, with at least another 5% increase anticipated by year-end, he said. Tenaris’ own prices typically follow Pipe Logix movements with a one-quarter delay. In the U.S., Tenaris is adding shifts at its industrial facilities. Its Bay City mill is operating at record production levels, while the company continues investments at its Koppel steel shop and Ambridge seamless pipe mill. It is also expanding deployment of a high-torque wedge connection designed for longer laterals. Moreno said U.S. imports have remained contained in 2026, supported by Section 232 tariffs and trade cases against unfairly traded imports. Assuming favorable determinations in the newer trade cases, he said Tenaris expects imports to remain at similar levels in coming quarters unless prices rise more substantially. In Canada, Tenaris has launched a $230 million investment program intended to increase effective capacity at its Sault Ste. Marie mill. Management said the project will strengthen the company’s domestic supply capabilities. Canadian activity declined seasonally in the second quarter after a strong first quarter, but the company expects drilling activity in both oil and gas to improve over time. Tenaris said its offshore project backlog has increased and is expected to contribute to sales beginning in the fourth quarter and continuing into 2027. The company cited several developments, including Eni and TotalEnergies’ sanctioning of the Cronos project, which will transport deepwater gas from Cyprus to an LNG facility in Egypt. Tenaris has supported Eni on pipeline requirements and OCTG supply for four wells associated with the project. Tenaris also inaugurated a service center in Suriname with TotalEnergies and government officials to manage the OCTG supply chain for the GranMorgu project. The company has begun deliveries of line pipe and coating for the Sakarya project in the Black Sea. Management said shipments for Sakarya, a welded SAW pipeline project from Brazil to Turkey, began in the third quarter and are expected to continue for three or four quarters. While the project is significant, Podskubka said its average price and margin are below Tenaris’ companywide average, creating a modest product-mix effect. In Argentina, nine high-specification rigs have been added in Vaca Muerta since the start of the year, bringing the total operating count to 42. Podskubka also pointed to plans by YPF, Eni and XRG to advance the $30 billion Argentina LNG project, for which a final investment decision is expected by year-end. Tenaris expects its third fracking unit in Argentina to begin operations in the fourth quarter. Podskubka said the fracking business is EBITDA-margin accretive to Tenaris’ overall average, though he did not disclose a specific profitability figure. Tenaris SA is a global manufacturer and supplier of steel tubular products and related services, primarily serving the oil and gas industry as well as other energy and industrial markets. Its product portfolio centers on seamless and welded steel pipes used for casing, tubing and line pipe applications, alongside a range of specialty and mechanical steel tubes.

Quarterly EBITDA fell 12% sequentially to $649 million, impacted by lower fixed cost absorption and higher raw material and logistics costs. The company faces ongoing uncertainty from the Middle East conflict, with $130 million in backlog for the upper Gulf region excluded from base-case forecasts. Q3 2026 is expected to remain weak, with similar revenue and EBITDA margins to Q2, due to continued logistics disruptions and seasonal shutdowns in Europe. The start of the Sakarya pipeline project, with below-average margins, will negatively impact product mix in Q3 2026. Raw material costs have increased and are progressively impacting sales, though price increases are expected to offset this in Q4. Q: Could you review the board's decision to double the dividend rate and shift away from the previous cash return strategy that included buybacks? Is this sustainable over the long-term?A: CEO Gabriel Podskubka confirmed the board's decision to increase the interim dividend to $600 million, doubling the previous rate, driven by the company's strong balance sheet and sustained cash generation. The board favored dividends for their simplicity and to preserve share liquidity. He stated the board remains committed to maintaining shareholder returns broadly in line with past levels while retaining financial flexibility. He noted that based on past practice and the strong balance sheet, this level of dividend could continue, with the final decision subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting. Q: What assumptions are you making for the second half of 2026 regarding the Middle East disruption, and how is the underlying business performing excluding the Strait of Hormuz impact?A: CEO Gabriel Podskubka explained that the company has changed its base-case premise for the second half, no longer assuming a short-term reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The backlog of material destined for Iraq, Kuwait, and Qatar has grown to $130 million, which is now excluded from the forecast. If the strait reopens, it would take 70-90 days to ship this premium material, representing a potential upside. Excluding this, the company expects second-half revenues and EBITDA to be in line with the first half, with Q3 similar to Q2 and a significant uptick in Q4 driven by higher oil prices boosting activity in the US, Canada, and Argentina, along with a stronger offshore market. Q: If we remove the effect of the impassable strait, what would Q4 EBITDA look like compared to Q1's $730 million?A: CEO Gabriel Podskubka confirmed that without the disruption in the northern Gulf, the Q4 projection would be "pretty much in line" with Q1's performance. He added that if the Hormuz conflict were resolved quickly, the additional $130 million in premium material could be shipped and invoiced within Q4, providing a nice upside given the higher margins on products sold in Iraq, Kuwait, and Qatar. Q: How much of the flat North American sales quarter-on-quarter reflects US pricing lagging Pipe Logix increases, and how will this evolve in the second half? At what level do imported OCTG become a competitive threat again?A: Guillermo Moreno, President of US Operations, stated that US activity has increased by almost 10% (around 50 rigs) since the conflict began, with another 10-15 rigs expected by year-end. Shipments are expected to grow in line with activity. Pipe Logix has increased around 9% since the start of the year, with at least another 5% expected by year-end; Tenaris's prices will reflect this with a one-quarter delay. Regarding imports, he noted they have been contained due to Section 232 tariffs and trade cases, and a more relevant price increase would be needed for imports to become competitive again. CEO Gabriel Podskubka added that Mexico is stable with gradual growth, while Canada is expected to grow after seasonal Q2 weakness, supported by a major $230 million capacity investment. Q: Is it correct to assume Q2 will be the weakest quarter of 2026 for EBITDA margin, with sequential improvement in the second half?A: CEO Gabriel Podskubka clarified that Q2 and Q3 will be very similar in revenues and EBITDA margin, as the lower volumes, logistic extra costs, and lower fixed-cost absorption present in Q2 will persist into Q3. The uptick will begin in Q4, when volumes are expected to exceed 1,000,000 tons, which will help support fixed-cost absorption and improve margins. Q: What is a normalized margin level for the fracking operations, and can you update us on the third set of equipment? Also, can you dive deeper into the Q3 seasonality and product mix effects?A: CEO Gabriel Podskubka stated that Q2 and Q3 will have some white space in utilization of the two fracking units in Argentina, but the third unit will start operations in Q4, increasing invoicing. He declined to disclose specific margins for competitive reasons but confirmed the business is accretive to Tenaris's average EBITDA ratio. Regarding Q3 mix, he cited seasonality in Europe with operational shutdowns and reduced customer purchasing, leading to slightly lower seamless volumes. Additionally, shipments of the large Sakarya welded pipeline from Brazil to Turkey have begun, which has a lower average price and margin than the company average, creating a slight mix effect. Q: Can you clarify if the capital return message implies a continuation of the one-third/two-third dividend split between interim and final payments?A: CEO Gabriel Podskubka confirmed that while it is ultimately a board decision, the one-third/two-third split has been the company's track record, implying this practice is likely to continue with the new, higher dividend level. Q: How are you seeing the US market in terms of rig count and pricing, and what are your expectations for shipments?A: Guillermo Moreno, President of US Operations, reported that since the beginning of the Iran conflict, US activity has increased by almost 10%, adding around 50 rigs. He expects another 10-15 rigs to be added through the rest of the year. Shipments are expected to grow in line with this activity increase. On pricing, he reiterated that Tenaris's prices follow Pipe Logix with a one-quarter delay. Pipe Logix has increased around 9% since the start of the year, with at least another 5% expected by year-end, and Tenaris's prices will reflect these increases accordingly. Q: What is the outlook for Canada and Mexico within the North American segment?A: CEO Gabriel Podskubka stated that Mexico is stable with a gradual increase in activity, supported by higher hydrocarbon prices and government incentives for private companies. Canada experienced natural seasonality in Q2 after a strong Q1, but the outlook is promising with expected increases in drilling activity. This positive outlook supports the company's decision to invest $230 million to increase capacity at its Sault Ste. Marie mill, positioning Tenaris to grow its revenue and position in Canada. Q: What are the key drivers behind the expected Q4 uptick in volumes and pricing?A: CEO Gabriel Podskubka explained that the higher oil prices driven by the Hormuz disruption are creating favorable conditions in the US, Canada, and Argentina. The strength of the offshore market is also contributing. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Giovanni Sardagna, investor relations officer. Please go ahead.
Thank you, Carmen. Welcome to Tenaris' 2026 second quarter conference call. Before we start, I would like to remind you that we will be discussing forward-looking information in the call, and that our actual results may vary from those expressed or implied during this call. With me on the call today are Gabriel Podskubka, our Chief Executive Officer, Carlos Gómez Álzaga, our Chief Financial Officer, and Guillermo Moreno, President of our U.S. operations. Before passing over the call to Gabriel for his opening remarks, I would like to briefly comment our quarterly results. Our second quarter sales reached $3 billion, down 4% year-on-year and sequentially, mainly reflecting the postponement of shipment to customers in the Middle East due to the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz for most of the quarter.
Average selling prices in our tube operating segment were basically flat compared to the corresponding quarter of last year and sequentially. Our quarterly EBITDA decreased 12% sequentially to $649 million, while our net income decreased 13% to $492 million, mainly due to lower absorption of fixed costs in addition to higher raw material and logistic costs. With operating cash flow of $580 million and capital expenditure of $121 million, our free cash flow for the quarter was $396 million. Following a dividend payment of $606 million in the quarter, our net cash position at the end of the quarter decreased to $3.6 billion. The board of directors approved the payment of an interim dividend of $0.59 per share or $1.18 per ADR, approximately $600 million, that will be paid the 25th of November.
I will ask Gabriel to say a few words before we open the call to questions.
Thank you, Giovanni. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you participating in our call today. Our second quarter results clearly reflect the impact of the Middle East conflict and disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the consequent impact of logistics and energy cost increases. Even so, they also demonstrate the resilience of our performance based on the strength of our global positioning and the efficiency of our industrial operations. In the Middle East, shipments to Iraq, Kuwait, and Qatar have been postponed as our customers were forced to reduce their operations, and ships are unable to enter the Gulf. This situation will continue until the Hormuz Strait reopens. In Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, however, we were able to continue supply of OCTG to Aramco and ADNOC, who have maintained their drilling operations fairly intact.
In other regions of the world, customers are advancing investments to meet the need for energy security and diversification of supply. Drilling activity in unconventional plays is increasing in the United States, in Canada, and also in Argentina. In the United States, we are adding work shifts at our industrial facilities. Our Bay City mill is producing at record levels, and we continue to invest to improve the production capabilities of our copper steel shop and our Ambridge seamless pipe mill. We are also extensively deploying a new high torque wedge connection, which we developed for longer laterals. In Canada, we have launched a major $230 million investment program to increase the effective production capacity of our mill in Sault Ste. Marie. These investments will strengthen our domestic supply capabilities for our Canadian customers.
In Argentina, nine high-spec rigs have been added in Vaca Muerta since the beginning of the year, bringing the total to 42 in operation today. In addition, YPF, together with Eni and XRG, are advancing investment plans for the $30 billion Argentina LNG project, for which an FID is expected at the end of this year. We commented last time on the favorable outlook for long cycle deepwater projects. With technology advances and short-term development schedules, these projects have become more cost-competitive and are well suited to support security and diversification of supply. Several FIDs were taken over the last three months. An example is the Cronos project sanctioned by Eni and TotalEnergies, which will take deepwater gas from Cyprus to an LNG facility in Egypt.
Tenaris has been supporting Eni in the definition and the supply of the pipeline requirements, and also on the OCTG needed for the four wells of the project. We inaugurated our new service center in Suriname together with TotalEnergies and government officials. From this base, we manage the OCTG supply chain for the GranMorgu project. We also began deliveries of line pipe and coating for the Sakarya project in the Black Sea. Our backlog of offshore projects has increased, and we expect this to be reflected in our sales from the fourth quarter and into 2027. This year, our raw material costs have increased and are impacting our results progressively. We are also increasing prices, and in the fourth quarter, we should see this positive effect in our sales and margins.
As we all adapt to a world of increased volatility and supply chain disruption, Tenaris is uniquely positioned to meet the diverse needs of its customers around the world with its global reach, differentiated service and technology, and investments to strengthen its industrial system. With this, we open the floor for questions.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, we'll open the floor for your questions. As a reminder, star one one to get in the queue and wait for your name to be announced. To remove yourself, press star one one again. Our first question is from Arun Jayaram with JPMorgan Securities. Please proceed.
Good morning, Gabriel and team. I was wondering, Gabriel, if you could review the board's decision and move on the dividend. Looks like you're effectively doubling the dividend rate, perhaps shifting a little bit away from the previous cash return strategy that included a mix of buybacks and still a strong dividend previously. Wondered if you could maybe talk a little bit about that move on the dividend, do you view this as sustainable over the long term?
Thank you, Arun. Good morning, thank you for your question on this point. As you mentioned, the board has decided to increase the interim dividend to $600 million, doubling, as you mentioned, given the strong balance sheet and sustained cash generation of the company. As you mentioned, the board has favored distribution through dividends, given the simplicity and also as a means of preserving the liquidity of the company shares. That's the rationale for the decision. In terms of sustainability and going forward, I believe that what we can say is that the board remains committed to maintaining a level of shareholder returns that are broadly in line with the past levels, at the same time wishes to maintain financial flexibility in an environment of uncertainty, that can also offer growth opportunities.
Regarding sustainability and future, I would say at this time that this will be decided by the board and subject to the approval of a shareholder annual meeting. That said, and based on past practice and our track record and our strong balance sheet, this could be a continuation in the amount of the dividend and the proposal for a payment in May as well.
Great. Thank you for that color. My follow-up, and we do appreciate just the uncertainty and the disruption caused by the Middle East conflict on your business there. Gabriel, could you maybe give us a little bit more detail on what your assumptions assume for the second half of 2026 in terms of that disruption? Perhaps maybe if we separate that impact, talk a little bit about how the underlying business is doing, because it sounds like you are expecting a nice improvement or reflection as we think about the fourth quarter in terms of your base business, again, excluding some of the noise associated with the Strait of Hormuz.
Sure, Arun. I think it's an important point on the assumption of the Strait of Hormuz reopening or not. This is an important premise. We have changed the premise that we had last quarter, in which we believed, or at least the base case scenario for our guideline was given with a short resolution of Hormuz opening. Today, given the uncertainty that we suffered the last few months, we are changing, not the outlook, but we're changing the premise on which we give our guidance for the second semester of the year. Where we are considering that the opening of the Strait of Hormuz in the short term would be an upside to our scenario. Okay?
Last quarter, we mentioned that we have about a business of $100 million of material that is going to the upper part of the Gulf, the one that is compromised due to the inability for ships to transit to Hormuz. This is Iraq, Kuwait, and Qatar. We have even enlarged this backlog. Today, the figure would be $130 million. This is the material that we have for that part of the Middle East that today is out of our forecast. If at any point in time the conflict gets resolved, or navigability in the Strait is restored, it will take us 70 to 90 days to ship this material from our mills and invoice it in the upper part of the Gulf. This is an upside that we will have when and if this happens, this will be a recurrent upside in our forecast.
As for now, we have taken this out of our base case scenario. Having said that, if we talk about the outlook, the guidance that we have given is that in the second half of 2026, we expect revenues and EBITDA in line with the first half, with clearly a third quarter that is more affected and more in line with the second quarter. As you are anticipating, an uptick and an interesting jump in the fourth quarter, that it will reflect all the other things that are happening in the world, because the higher price of oil that is driven by the Hormuz disruption is creating the conditions in the U.S., in Canada, in Argentina, and also the strength of the offshore market to start showing, and this has taken some time for these rigs to be added and for our mills to be ramped up.
We will see an important jump of volume, and to some extent, some pricing as well, in the fourth quarter of the year. This, in a nutshell, gives a description of the outlook with an important clarification on the premise on the upper part of Hormuz. Because, as you know, UAE and Saudi, the lower part of Hormuz, despite the difficulties, they have been able to continue the drilling activity, and we have been able to continue shipping with additional logistics and effort. This part has been less affected, I would say. Hopefully, this clarifies your point, Arun.
Yes. Thank you, sir.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Marc Bianchi with TD Cowen. Please proceed.
Thank you. I'd like to follow up on that progression into the fourth quarter here. Maybe, Gabriel, you could help us maybe translate this backlog opportunity of $100 million plus that's being compromised. On a quarterly basis, if we were to sort of remove the effect of the Strait being impassable, I think if I work the math out, your fourth quarter EBITDA should be looking like your first quarter EBITDA in that $730 million range. If none of this stuff with the Strait were happening and you had a normal level of activity in the northern part of the Gulf, what would that look like?
I think you're having a very fair assumption on what the fourth quarter from what we're seeing and with all the uncertainty that we are managing. Without this northern part of the Gulf, our projection for the fourth quarter will be pretty much in line with the first quarter, as you're indicating. If this conflict of Hormuz will assure a navigability in the short term, during the next few weeks, we will be able to ship and invoice this additional $130 million within the fourth quarter. It's an upside, it's still a possible upside, and this will clearly increase. You would assume that the margin on the material that we're selling in Iraq, in Kuwait, and in Qatar is premium material, special grade. It has a good average margin compared to the rest of the portfolio of Tenaris.
It would be a nice upside addition that we have in the fourth quarter or thereafter. We would need 90 days for this to materialize.
Okay. That's very helpful. Then just following back up on the capital return, you'd made the comment about a similar level of capital return to the prior periods with this new program. Just to clarify on that, typically what Tenaris has done is pay an interim dividend that's about one-third of the total dividend, and then in May, we get a dividend that's the remaining two-thirds. I know it's ultimately a board decision, but is that sort of the message that you're looking to deliver here?
Yes, Marc, this is exactly. It's not my decision, it's a board decision, but based on past practice, this one-third, two-third has been the track record that the company showed. This is what I was implying.
Great. Thank you very much. I'll turn it back.
Thanks, Marc.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Sebastian Erskine with Rothschild & Co Redburn. Please proceed.
Yes. Good morning. Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my questions. Just to focus in on kind of North American, two parts to this. North American sales sort of flat quarter-on-quarter. You'd called out sort of U.S. OCTG strength offsetting Canada and Mexico. How much of that flat outcome reflects the fact that U.S. pricing is still lagging the Pipe Logix increases that we've seen? Maybe if you could give some color specifically on how you see that evolving in the second half of the year for North America in terms of price and volume. Just a sort of bigger picture question on U.S. pricing. Obviously, we started to see the cycle turn. You're offsetting the step-up in hot-rolled coil prices.
At what level do you see imported OCTG coming back as a competitive threat again, even net of the Section 232? How much headroom, basically, is there before you begin to approach some level of parity with imports? Would be helpful to get your thoughts on that. Thank you.
Thank you, Sebastian. I think on both questions related to U.S. activity and pricing, I would ask Guillermo to add more color, maybe I will come back to the rest of North America on Canada, Mexico, that complements our reporting group. Guillermo on.
Thank you, Gabriel, good morning, Sebastian. In the case of the U.S., let me first start with how we are seeing the market. Far, since the beginning of the conflict in Iran, we have seen activity increase by almost 10%, so an addition of around 50 rigs. Our view is that from now to the rest of the year, another 10 or 15 rigs will be added on top of those. Our expectations is that our shipments to the market will grow in line with the growth of activity, as we capture additional sales because of a higher activity of our customers. Regarding prices, you know that normally our prices go very much in line with the increase of Pipe Logix, with a one-quarter delay, as we have explained in many conference calls.
Since the beginning of the year, we have seen that Pipe Logix has increased around 9%, and in our view, an additional 5% is expected, at least 5%, till the end of the year. Our prices will be reflecting these increases accordingly to the one-quarter delay that I mentioned before.
Okay. Regarding Canada, Mexico, we see, to complete the North America view, Mexico, we see it stable with a gradual increase in activity. Pemex has been clearly supported and funded by the higher prices of hydrocarbons in the recent months and the backing of the government. We see that stable and progressing, we see a lot of efforts of the government in Mexico creating incentives and conditions for private companies in different schemes to support with oil and gas activity in Mexico. That is something that in volume will gradually progress. There is also the pricing effect in Mexico that is somehow linked with the international indicators of pricing that are also moving north. Regarding Canada, after a very strong season in the first quarter, it's natural in the second quarter of the year to have a seasonality decrease in volume and activity.
This is an area that is also where we have a good promising perspective of increase of drilling activity, both in oil and gas. That's why we have made the decision on the increase of capacity. This is an area where we have a unique setup, and we believe that gradually we will grow our position and revenue in Canada as well. Overall, I think all the three main components of North America are going to start contributing in a positive direction in the quarters to come.
Super. That's helpful. Just very quickly, just to follow up on that point, just in terms of the import level in terms of that's fallen quite aggressively this year. I'm just trying to work out how much room is there in this pricing cycle above which then you bring imports to become more competitive again, even net of the Section 232. I wonder if you maybe just give some thoughts on that parity level with the imports.
Yeah. 2026, as you said, imports have been contained, and we expect to see similar levels in the coming quarters. The main reason of this containment, as you said, are the Section 232 tariff, but also the trade cases filed against unfairly traded imports. Assuming that we have a positive determination in the new trade case, we expect imports to stay contained. For them to start to grow, we will need a more relevant price increase.
Brilliant. Thank you very much. I'll turn it back. Thanks very much for the color.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Isacco Brambilla with Mediobanca. Please proceed.
Hi. Good morning, everybody. Hope you can hear me well. A bag of questions have already been answered, I make just a couple. First, on profitability, is it still correct to assume that the second quarter should represent the weakest quarter of 2026 for you in terms of the EBITDA margin with sequential improvement throughout the second half?
Good morning, Isacco. I believe the second quarter and the third quarter will be similar in revenues and pretty much in line on EBITDA margin. I would say that second and third are looking very similar, pretty much in line, and we will see the uptick starting in the fourth quarter and going forward. Second and third, I would categorize them as very similar. As a lower volume and the logistic extra cost and the same components that we explained, that reduction in the second quarter are still present in the third quarter.
Okay. Just to follow up on that, as impacts from lower absorption of fixed cost and higher logistic and transportation, for our third quarter previews, we can take into account the same indication given together with the second quarter. Hundred-
Yeah.
-and 140. Okay, thanks.
Yeah. Correct. When you go to the fourth quarter, we're seeing a volume that is going to be north of 1 million tons. In that moment, I think the volume will start supporting and helping the absorption of fixed cost in the EBITDA margin that you're looking at.
Brilliant. Thanks.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, as a reminder, if you do have a question, press star one one to get in the queue. Again, that is star one one if you do have a question. One moment, please. We have a question from Jamie Franklin with Jefferies. Please proceed.
Oh, hi there. Thanks for taking my questions. Just a couple of quick ones. Just on the fracking operations, obviously the operating margin, and your other line came down a little bit in 2Q. Of course, it's small numbers relative to the overall group, but just wondering what a normalized level of margin kind of looks like for this business, going forward. Also, if you can give us an update on the third set of equipment that's expected to be added by year end. Secondly, just on the 3Q impact, could you just dive a bit deeper into the seasonality and product mix effects that you mentioned, please?
Sure, Jamie. On the first question, second quarter and third quarter, we will have some white space in our utilization of our two units of fracking in Argentina. On the fourth quarter, we will have our third unit starting operations. We would see an uptick in the level of invoicing of this segment of the business. In terms of our margin and profitability, I would not disclose it for competitive reasons, but I would say that it is a business that is, with an EBITDA ratio, contributing and accretive to the average of Tenaris. On your second point regarding the mix, third quarter, we have seasonality in Europe. Typically, the third quarter, we have our shutdown of our operations in Europe and also many of our customers reduce their level of activity of purchasing. There is a slight reduction on seamless volumes in the third quarter.
Related to the additional mix point is that we are starting the shipment of the large Sakarya pipeline, is a welded SAW pipeline from Brazil into Turkey. This started this quarter and will continue for three or four quarters. This has an average price and margin that is below the average of Tenaris. It's a very interesting project, but from that point of view, has a slight effect on the mix. These are the color behind the seasonality mix, of which are particular to the third quarter.
Very helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you. Again, ladies and gentlemen, if you do have a question, simply press star one one to get in the queue. That is star one one if you have a question. As I see no further questions in the queue, I will turn the call back to Giovanni Sardagna for final comments.
Well, thank you, Carmen. Thank you all for joining us. We talk soon. Thank you.
Thank you.
This will conclude our conference. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.

In the United States, OCTG prices have been increasing in response to higher demand and to offset higher raw material and logistic costs. In the Middle East, the conflict continues to cause disruption to shipping through the strait of Hormuz. Drilling activity in Iraq, Kuwait and Qatar has been severely affected, while, in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, it has been largely maintained. In the second half, we expect our sales and EBITDA to remain in line with the first half, despite sales continuing to be affected by lower shipments to the Middle East and higher raw material costs. There may be some upside if the shipping disruption at the strait of Hormuz ends before the end of the year. The third quarter will be additionally affected by seasonality and product mix effects, while the fourth quarter will benefit from higher prices and volumes in most regions. Changes in the Company's Board of Directors The Company’s Board of Directors has been informed at its most recent meeting that Mr. Jaime Serra Puche has resigned as a member of the Board and of its Audit Committee, for personal reasons, and that, due to other commitments, Mr. Germán Curá has resigned as Vice Chair responsible for overseeing Tenaris’s Sustainability Strategy but will continue to serve as a director.

Analysis of 2026 Second Quarter Results Tubes The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, sales volumes of seamless and welded pipes for the periods indicated below: The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, net sales by geographic region, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below: Net sales of tubular products and services decreased 4% sequentially and year on year, in line with the volume variation as average selling prices remained stable. Sequentially, in North America, higher sales of OCTG in the United States largely compensated for lower OCTG sales in Canada and Mexico. In South America, lower sales of OCTG in Brazil were partially compensated by an increase in Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela, while, in Argentina, lower sales for pipelines were compensated by higher sales of OCTG. In Europe, we had higher sales of OCTG in Turkey and the start of deliveries of offshore line pipe to the Sakarya Black Sea development. In Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, sales declined with the postponement of deliveries to Kuwait and Iraq and lower deliveries to North Africa following a concentration of such deliveries in the previous quarter. Operating results from tubular products and services amounted to a gain of $465 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to a gain of $545 million in the previous quarter and a gain of $554 million in the second quarter of 2025. Operating income in the quarter decreased due to higher unitary logistic costs, lower absorption of fixed costs and rising raw material costs. Others The following table indicates, for our Others business segment, net sales, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below: Net sales of other products and services decreased 3% sequentially and decreased 1% year on year. Sequentially sales declined mainly due to lower sales of oilfield services in Argentina. Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $484 million, or 16.3% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $467 million, 15.0% in the previous quarter and $484 million, 15.7% in the second quarter of 2025. Sequentially, the increase in SG&A is mainly due to higher services and fees and increased unitary logistic costs associated to the closure of the strait of Hormuz. Financial results amounted to a gain of $32 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a gain of $50 million in the previous quarter and a gain of $32 million in the second quarter of 2025. Financial results of the quarter are mainly attributable to a $41 million net finance income from the net return of our portfolio investments, net of a $9 million loss from foreign exchange transactions and derivatives. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated companies generated a gain of $48 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a gain of $33 million in the previous quarter and a gain of $33 million in the second quarter of 2025. These results are mainly derived from our participation in Ternium (NYSE:TX) and Usiminas. Income tax charge amounted to $82 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $103 million in the previous quarter and $105 million in the second quarter of 2025. Cash Flow and Liquidity of 2026 Second Quarter Net cash generated by operating activities during the second quarter of 2026 was $518 million, compared to $618 million in the previous quarter and $673 million in the second quarter of 2025. With capital expenditures of $121 million, our free cash flow amounted to $396 million during the quarter. Following a dividend payment of $606 million in the quarter, our net cash position amounted to $3.6 billion at June 30, 2026. Analysis of 2026 First Half Results Our sales in the first half of 2026 increased 1% compared to the first half of 2025 as volumes of tubular products shipped decreased 1% and tubes average selling prices increased 2% driven by price increases in North America while sales in the Others segment increased 3%. EBITDA in the first half of 2026 was negatively affected by the impact of tariff costs in the United States. Earnings per share increased 4% following the reduction of outstanding shares due to the share buyback. Cash flow provided by operating activities amounted to $1.1 billion during the first half of 2026, net of an increase in working capital of $84 million. After capital expenditures of $236 million, our free cash flow amounted to $0.9 billion. Following a dividend payment of $606 million and share buybacks for $90 million in the semester, our net cash position amounted to $3.6 billion at the end of June 2026. The following table shows our net sales by business segment for the periods indicated below: Tubes The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, sales volumes of seamless and welded pipes for the periods indicated below: The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, net sales by geographic region, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below: Net sales of tubular products and services increased 1% to $5,734 million in the first half of 2026, compared to $5,686 million in the first half of 2025 due to a 1% decrease in volumes and a 2% increase in average selling prices driven by price increases in North America. Average drilling activity in the first half of 2026 declined 3% in the United States and Canada and 2% internationally compared to the first half of 2025. Operating results from tubular products and services amounted to a gain of $1,010 million in the first half of 2026 compared to a gain of $1,068 million in the first half of 2025. The decline in operating results is mainly due to the impact of tariff costs in the United States. Others The following table indicates, for our Others business segment, net sales, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below: Net sales of other products and services increased 3% to $333 million in the first half of 2026, compared to $322 million in the first half of 2025. The increase is mainly due to additional sales of excess raw materials. Operating results from other products and services amounted to a gain of $68 million in the first half of 2026, compared to a gain of $65 million in the first half of 2025. These results were primarily driven by our oilfield services business in Argentina and by sales of sucker rods, pipes for plumbing applications, and coiled tubing. Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $951 million in the first half of 2026 and $941 million in the first half of 2025 in both cases representing 15.7% of sales. Other operating results amounted to a loss of $6 million in the first half of 2026, compared to a loss of $50 thousand in the first half of 2025. The six million loss is mainly due to the provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas. Financial results amounted to a gain of $83 million in the first half of 2026, compared to a gain of $67 million in the first half of 2025. Financial results of the semester are mainly attributable to a $94 million net finance income from the net return of our portfolio investments. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated companies generated a gain of $81 million in the first half of 2026, compared to a gain of $47 million in the first half of 2025. These results are mainly derived from our participation in Ternium (NYSE:TX) and Usiminas. Income tax amounted to a charge of $185 million in the first half of 2026, compared to $187 million in the first half of 2025. Cash Flow and Liquidity of 2026 First Half Net cash provided by operating activities during the first half of 2026 amounted to $1.1 billion (net of an increase in working capital of $84 million), compared to cash provided by operations of $1.5 billion (including a reduction in working capital of $250 million) in the first half of 2025. Capital expenditures amounted to $236 million in the first half of 2026, compared to $309 million in the first half of 2025. Free cash flow amounted to $0.9 billion in the first half of 2026, compared to $1.2 billion in the first half of 2025. Following a dividend payment of $606 million in May 2026 and share buybacks of $90 million during the first half of 2026, our net cash position amounted to $3.6 billion at the end of June 2026.

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. 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. 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. Giovanni Sardagna Tenaris1-888-300-5432www.tenaris.com

Flowco Posts Q1 Results: Time to Buy or Stay on the Sidelines?
Flowco Holdings Inc. FLOC delivered a strong first-quarter 2026 performance, supported by demand for its production-optimization, artificial-lift and emissions-management offerings. Adjusted earnings of 48 cents per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 34 cents, while revenues rose 8.9% year over year to $209.5 million and topped expectations. The results showed that Flowco is benefiting from operators’ focus on improving output from existing wells rather than relying only on new drilling. That theme is also important for oilfield service peers such as Halliburton Company HAL and Tenaris S.A. TS, which are investing in technology and efficiency-focused solutions. While FLOC’s recent run has been impressive, investors should weigh the earnings beat against valuation, estimate trends and already-strong share-price performance. Flowco’s biggest strength in the quarter came from its Production Solutions segment. Revenues in the segment were $140.2 million, up 20.8% year over year, while adjusted segment EBITDA reached $61.5 million. The segment’s 43.9% margin reflects the benefits of its rental-heavy model and demand for high-pressure gas lift, electric submersible pumps and other artificial-lift solutions. Flowco’s acquisition of Valiant Artificial Lift Solutions, completed in March, added electric submersible pumps (ESP) capabilities and expanded the company’s ability to support wells earlier in their production lives. This gives FLOC a broader lift portfolio, similar to how Halliburton and Tenaris are broadening their service offerings through technology and acquisitions. Natural Gas Technologies was less of a growth engine but remained profitable. Segment revenues were $69.4 million, down from the year-ago period, reflecting softer comparisons in some natural gas systems activity. Still, adjusted segment EBITDA improved to $29.7 million, and margin expanded to 42.8% from 37.5% a year earlier. Vapor recovery rentals helped offset weaker system sales, showing that Flowco’s emissions-management and monetization products remain relevant as producers seek both economic and environmental benefits. The company’s investor presentation highlights vapor recovery units as tools that can reduce emissions while improving economics through recovered liquids-rich gas.

The company’s investor presentation highlights vapor recovery units as tools that can reduce emissions while improving economics through recovered liquids-rich gas. Image Source: Flowco Holdings On a consolidated basis, Flowco generated adjusted EBITDA of $85.5 million, up from $74.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 40.8%, keeping profitability at a premium level despite higher corporate costs tied partly to filing, legal and transaction-related expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities was $78.7 million, and free cash flow came in at $52.3 million after capital spending. That cash generation gives FLOC flexibility to invest in growth, reduce leverage and reward shareholders. Management also returned $16.5 million through share repurchases during the quarter. In May, the board approved a 12.5% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to 9 cents per share. This shareholder-return profile adds appeal, particularly for investors comparing FLOC with larger oilfield names such as Halliburton and Tenaris. However, unlike Halliburton and Tenaris, Flowco is a smaller, more specialized company, so its stock can be more sensitive to changes in investor sentiment and expectations. FLOC’s share price momentum has been very strong. The stock is up more than 57% over the past six months, outpacing notable gains of 51% from Tenaris and 49% from Halliburton. That performance shows investor confidence in Flowco’s strategy, its Valiant acquisition and exposure to production optimization. But after such a sharp rally, the easy upside may already be reflected in the stock. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The earnings estimate picture is mixed. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for FLOC’s 2026 earnings points to a 37% decline, followed by a 14% increase in 2027. This suggests that while longer-term growth prospects remain intact, near-term earnings expectations are not clearly moving in a straight upward line. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Valuation is another watch point. On a forward price-to-earnings basis, FLOC trades at a premium to the broader oil/energy market. Investors comparing FLOC with Halliburton and Tenaris may find Flowco’s niche growth story appealing, but the premium valuation leaves less room for execution missteps. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The Valiant deal is central to Flowco’s future growth case. It gives FLOC exposure to ESPs, one of the largest artificial-lift markets, and strengthens its Permian Basin presence. Management expects Valiant to contribute about $52 million of adjusted EBITDA in 2026, and early integration commentary has been positive. The combination could help Flowco cross-sell to more customers and better match lift technologies to different well stages. Still, integration, capital spending and customer adoption will determine how much of that opportunity turns into sustained earnings growth. Flowco’s first-quarter results were solid, with an earnings beat, strong margins, healthy free cash flow, a dividend increase and added growth optionality from Valiant. The company is well-positioned as producers focus on optimizing existing production, and its specialized portfolio gives it a differentiated role alongside broader oilfield service names such as Halliburton and Tenaris. However, FLOC’s strong six-month rally, premium valuation and mixed near-term earnings estimate trend suggest that investors should avoid chasing the stock aggressively after the earnings-driven optimism. Based on the write-up, FLOC stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
