Management's Comments on Operating Environment and Future Outlook - Management indicated that the worst effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are behind, with signs of recovery in performance [7]. - The company anticipates a sequential contraction in EBITDA for Q4 due to lower production and higher operating expenses, but expects profitability to improve in 2021 as production ramps up [62][64]. - Management emphasized the importance of cost reduction and efficiency improvements to manage high leverage while pursuing aggressive CapEx [119]. Other Important Information - The company achieved a 12% cumulative price increase at the pump in Argentine pesos, stabilizing net prices in dollars [17][44]. - Cash generation from operations reached $666 million, with cash used for investment activities contracting by 33% sequentially [50][51]. - The company’s consolidated cash position stood at $1 billion, with gross debt shrinking further [54].
