Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary

- Auditor Review: The Committee relied on reports dated November 9, 2022, from external auditor Germán E. Cantalupi (Pistrelli, Henry Martin y Asociados S.R.L.), which were issued in compliance with International Standard on Review Engagement 2410.
- Scope Limitations: The Committee explicitly stated it did not perform management control or assess business decisions regarding administration, financing, commercialization, or production, as these remain the exclusive responsibility of the Board of Directors.
