Q3 2012 Relevant Results

Key drivers of Third Quarter results (Q3 2012 Vs. Q3 2011) for Andres-DPP:

• Revenues increased 8.9% to US$135.6 million. This result was mainly driven by the net effect of: (i) higher natural gas sales by US$36.0 million due to (a) US$21.5 million related to an increase in the average LNG sales price (indexed to the spot LNG prices in the international market) and (b) US$14.5 million due to an increase in the volume sold; (ii) lower spot sales by US$12.9 million due to higher energy required by contracts during Q3 2012, and therefore lower energy available to sold in the spot market (Q3 2012- 43GWh Vs. Q3 2011-177GWh); (iii) US$13.5 million of lower contracted sales due to lower contracted prices derived of the reduction of the natural gas price index (NYMEX); and, (iv) higher other sales by US$1.5 million basically from pipeline fees to third parties.

• Operating Costs and Expenses increased 35.9% to US$97.2 million. This variance was principally due to: (i) US$12.9 million due to higher fuel & related cost purchased for resale; (ii) higher cost of fuel & electricity purchased for generation by US$10.7 million mainly related to an increase in the average LNG cost attributable to the vessels of LNG at spot prices bought during the quarter; (iii) US$1.5 million of higher operating, maintenance and general expenses basically for the annual maintenance of Los Mina VI; and, (iv) higher depreciation by US$0.6 million.

• Total Other Expenses was US$9.2 million. This negative result was mainly a net function of: (i) lower other income by US$12.5 million, basically due to an agreement between CDEEE – DGII (local tax authorities) and DPP in 2011 due to local taxes paid and recognized by CDEEE. d; (ii) higher commercial interest income by US$3.0 million; during 2011 there was a sector agreement whereby calculation of commercial interests was eliminated, this agreement ended in December 2011; and, (iii) higher exchange loss by US$0.6 million.

• Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities was US$12.1 million as net result of the following: (i) Higher accounts receivable collections by US$40.6 million for the proceeds received of a Sovereign Bonds monetized by the Government during the quarter; (ii) lower net income (net of non-cash activities) by US$30.6 million derived of higher cost of sales; (iii) negative impact for higher operating payments by US$22.9 million; and, (iv) negative impact by US$5.1 million from higher income tax paid..

• Free Cash Flow was net cash provided by US$3.2 million. During this period there were maintenance and environmental CAPEX by US$12.1 million.

Key drivers of Year-to-Date Quarter results (YTD 2012 Vs. YTD 2011) for Andres-DPP:

• Revenues increased 14.9% to US$381.0 million. This increase was mainly a net result of: (i) higher natural gas sales by US$91.7 million due to (a) US$57.2 million related to an increase in the average LNG sales price and (b) US$34.5 million due to an increase in the volume sold; (ii) lower spot sales by US$29.9 million, mainly related to higher energy required by contracts during first half of 2012, and therefore lower energy available to sold in the spot market (Q3 2012- 93GWh Vs. Q3 2011- 466GWh); (iii) lower contracted energy sales by US$16.6 million due to lower contracted prices; and, (iv) higher other sales by US$4.1 million mainly from pipeline fees to third parties.

• Operating Costs and Expenses increased 49.8% to US$293.4 million. This variance was mainly caused by: (i) higher cost of fuel & electricity purchased for generation by US$56.3 million mainly related to (a) US$42.0 million due to an increase in the average LNG cost for the purchase of four vessels at spot prices and due to higher generation, and (b) US$14.3 million due to higher spot energy purchases during January and February 2012 as a consequence of lower generation triggered by a major maintenance performed in Andres plant and the major maintenance performed in July in Los Mina VI; (ii) US$37.1 million due to higher fuel & related cost for resale due to (a) US$24.9 million related to an increase in the average LNG price and (b) US$12.2 million due to an increase in the volume sold; and, (iii) higher operating, maintenance and general expenses by US$2.9 million.

• Total Other Expenses increased 15.9% to US$27.0 million. This increase was mainly a net function of: (i) lower other income by US$13.4 million; (ii) higher net commercial interest income by US$10.5 million due to same factor driving third quarter 2012 variance; (iii) higher exchange loss by US$1.3 million; and, (iv) lower net financial interest expense by US$0.6 million mainly related to higher investments held during 2012 and lower deferred financing cost.

• Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities was US$40.7 million, as result of: (i) lower net income (net of non-cash activities) by US$42.9 million derived from higher cost of sales; (ii) positive impact due to higher account receivables collections by US$39.1 million; (iii) positive impact due to lower operating payments by US$31.0 million; and, (iv) negative impact due to higher tax paid by US$22.5 million.

• Free Cash Flow was net cash provided by US$21.2 million. During this period there were maintenance and environmental CAPEX by US$19.5 million.
