| *Q1 2015 results had been restated, following a re-evaluation of the carrying value of the Usiminas investment as of September 30, 2014. See "I General Information" to our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2015. |
| **EBITDA is defined as operating income plus depreciation, amortization and impairment charges / (reversals). EBITDA in Q2 2015 includes severance charges of $89 million. If these charges were not included EBITDA would have been $354 million with a margin of 18.9%. |
Our second quarter sales were down 30% year on year, with our Tubes sales down 45% in North America and 21% in the rest of the world, reflecting activity reductions and customer inventory adjustments. Our EBITDA margin declined significantly reflecting restructuring charges along with production inefficiencies and a higher ratio of fixed costs resulting from low utilization of production capacity.
Cash flow from operations amounted to $548 million during the quarter, for a total of $1.4 billion during the first half. Following a dividend payment of $354 million in May 2015, and capital expenditures of $262 million during the second quarter, we maintained a net cash position (cash and other current investments less total borrowings) of $1.8 billion at the end of the quarter.
Market Background and Outlook
Oil and gas drilling activity in North America continued to decline during the second quarter but, over the last month, the US rig count has shown signs of stabilizing at around 50% of last year's level. The Canadian rig count is also down over 40% year on year. In most other areas of the world, oil and gas drilling activity continues to decline at a more gradual pace as companies reduce their investments, delaying projects as they adjust costs to the lower oil price environment.
Demand for OCTG products this year is being affected by the decline in drilling activity and by inventory adjustments which are ongoing in the Middle East, sub-Saharan Africa and in North America as the level of imports has declined.
We expect our revenues to decline further in the third quarter, when we will have an unusually low level of shipments of premium products. Average selling prices will be lower during the second half reflecting lower market prices and a less favorable product mix. Our margins in the third quarter will continue to be affected by low utilization of production capacity, but should improve in the fourth quarter as shipments start to recover.
Going into 2016, we expect shipments to continue to recover as customer inventory reductions come to an end and our margins will benefit from cost reduction measures and from the full impact of the current low raw material costs.
In the current difficult market conditions, we are advancing with the restructuring of our operations and remain focused on reducing our costs, strengthening our market position and enhancing our service deployment in key regions. Our expected cash flow will allow us to maintain our strong financial position.
Analysis of 2015 Second Quarter Results

| †Q2 2015 Tubes operating income includes severance charges of $85 million. If these charges were not included operating income would have been $184 million with a margin of 10.9%. |
Net sales of tubular products and services decreased 19% sequentially and 31% year on year. The sequential decline reflects a reduction in volumes of 22% partially offset by a 4% increase in the average selling price, which reflected the inclusion of certain high value products in the sales mix for the quarter. In North America sales declined due to the strong activity reductions and inventory adjustments in the U.S. onshore and Canada and moderately lower shipments in Mexico. In South America, sales declined due to lower OCTG sales in Brazil and the Andean Region, partially offset by higher shipments of pipeline projects in Brazil and Argentina and higher OCTG sales in Argentina. In Europe we had lower OCTG sales in Russia, the North Sea and Romania. In the Middle East and Africa sales increased mainly due to higher OCTG sales to Iraq. In the Far East and Oceania, sales increased due to a concentration of shipments of OCTG products in Indonesia.
Operating income from tubular products and services decreased 73% sequentially and 82% year on year. In addition to the effect of lower sales, operating income during the quarter was negatively affected by inefficiencies associated with low utilization of production capacity and severance costs to adjust the workforce to current market conditions, which amounted to $85 million for the segment.
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:
| Others | Q2 2015 | Q1 2015 | Q2 2014 | |||||||

| Operating income ($ million) | 12 | 9 | 37% | 12 | 8% | |||||
| Operating income (% of sales) | 6.7% | 5.1% | 5.6% | |||||||
Net sales of other products and services increased 5% sequentially, mainly due to higher sales of industrial equipment in Brazil and pipes for electric conduit in the USA. Sequentially, the operating income increased following the increase in sales and a recovery in operating margins in these same businesses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $438 million, or 23.4% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $436 million, 19.4% in the previous quarter and $518 million, 19.5% in the second quarter of 2014. The sequential increase in percentage terms was mainly due to the effect of fixed and semi fixed expenses on lower sales and the effect of $34 million in severance indemnities related to the adjustment of the workforce to current market conditions.
Financial results in the second quarter of 2015 amounted to a loss of $8 million, compared to a loss of $1 million in the previous quarter and to zero in the second quarter of 2014.
Equity in earnings of non-consolidated companies amounted to $4 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $8 million in the previous quarter and $14 million in the second quarter of last year. These results are mainly derived from our equity investment in Ternium (
Income tax charges totalled $35 million in the second quarter of 2015, equivalent to 33.9% of income before equity in earnings of non-consolidated companies and income tax, compared to $132 million, or 34.9% in the previous quarter and $144 million or 26.2% in the second quarter of 2014. As in the previous quarter, during this quarter our tax rate was negatively affected by the effect of certain currencies devaluation against the U.S. dollar, on the tax base used to calculate deferred taxes at subsidiaries which have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency (e.g., Argentine and Mexican peso).
Results attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to gains of $6 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to a $1 million loss in the previous quarter and $12 million gains in the second quarter of 2014. These results are mainly attributable to NKKTubes, our Japanese subsidiary.
Cash Flow and Liquidity of 2015 Second Quarter
Net cash provided by operations during the second quarter of 2015 was $548 million, compared to $878 million in the previous quarter and $566 million in the second quarter of 2014. Reductions in working capital (mainly inventories and trade receivables) amounted to $397 million during the second quarter and $516 million in the previous quarter.
Capital expenditures amounted to $262 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $261 million in the previous quarter and $223 million in the second quarter of 2014. Capital expenditures mainly relates to the progress in the construction of the greenfield seamless facility in Bay City, Texas.
Following a dividend payment of $354 million in May 2015, and capital expenditures of $262 million during the second quarter, we maintained a net cash position (cash and other current investments less total borrowings) of $1.8 billion at the end of the quarter.

Our sales in the first half of 2015 declined 21% compared to the first half of 2014, mainly due to lower shipments of tubular products. EBITDA declined 44% to $792 million in the first half of 2015 compared to $1,421 million in the first half of the previous year, following the decline in sales and a reduction in the EBITDA margin, from 27.1% in the first half of 2014 to 19.2% in the first half of 2015. During the first half of 2015 we had severance costs amounting to $105 million, associated to the adjustment of the workforce to current market conditions. Net income attributable to owners of the parent during the first half of 2015 was $321 million, or $0.27 per share ($0.54 per ADS), which compares with $830 million, or $0.70 per share ($1.41 per ADS), in the first half of 2014. The 62% decline in net income mainly reflects a challenging operating environment affected by lower shipments, inefficiencies associated with low utilization of production capacity and severance costs to adjust the workforce to current market conditions.
Cash flow from operations amounted to $1,426 million during the first half of 2015, including working capital reductions of $912 million. Following a dividend payment of $354 million in May 2015, and capital expenditures of $523 million during the first half of 2015, we reached a net cash position (cash and other current investments less total borrowings) of $1.8 billion at the end of June 2015.

| †2015 first half Tubes operating income includes severance charges of $100 million. If these charges were not included operating income would have been $569 million with a margin of 15.1%. |
Net sales of tubular products and services decreased 23% to $3,759 million in the first half of 2015, compared to $4,865 million in the first half of 2014, as a result of a 20% decline in shipments following the adjustment in oil and gas drilling activity in response to the collapse in oil and gas prices and inventory adjustments taking place in the Middle East and Africa and in the United States.
Operating income from tubular products and services decreased 57% to $469 million in the first half of 2015, from $1,099 million in the first half of 2014, following the decline in sales and a reduction in operating margins affected by inefficiencies associated with low utilization of production capacity and severance costs to adjust the workforce to current market conditions, which amounted to $100 million for the segment.

Net sales of other products and services decreased 4% to $363 million in the first half of 2015, compared to $376 million in the first half of 2014, mainly due to lower sales of sucker rods, reflecting the decline in activity in the oil and gas business.
Operating income from other products and services increased 34%, to $22 million in the first half of 2015, compared to $16 million during the first half of 2014, mainly due to an improvement in the operating margins of the industrial equipment business in Brazil.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $874 million in the first half of 2015 and $1,007 million in the first half of 2014, however, it increased as a percentage of net sales to 21.2% in the first half of 2015 compared to 19.2% in the first half of 2014 mainly due to the effect of fixed and semi fixed expenses on lower sales and the effect of $38 million in severance indemnities related to the adjustment of the workforce to current market conditions.
Financial results amounted to a loss of $10 million in the first half of 2015, compared to a gain of $43 million in the first half of 2014. Net finance income amounted to $7 million in the first half of 2015, compared to $3 million in the first half of 2014. In the first half of 2014 we had positive other financial results amounting to $39 million, mainly due to the positive impact from the Argentine peso devaluation against the U.S. dollar on our Argentine peso-denominated borrowings and liabilities.
Equity in earnings of non-consolidated companies generated a gain of $12 million in the first half of 2015, compared to a gain of $33 million in the first half of 2014. These results are mainly derived from our equity investment in Ternium (

During the first half of 2015, our tax rate was negatively affected by the effect of certain currencies devaluation against the U.S. dollar, on the tax base used to calculate deferred taxes at subsidiaries which have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency (e.g., Argentine and Mexican peso).
Income attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to $5 million in the first half of 2015, compared to $18 million in the first half of 2014. These results are mainly attributable to NKKTubes, our Japanese subsidiary.
