In the Middle East, we strengthened our position in Saudi through the integration of Saudi Steel Pipe Company ("SSPC"), while in Abu Dhabi, we successfully won a long-term contract valued at \$1.9 billion to supply the majority of ADNOC's OCTG requirements over the next five years.
We are making investments in digital technologies to transform the efficiency of our operations and provide customers digital integration efficiencies under our Rig Direct® program. These investments are contributing to lower industrial and supply chain costs and closer collaboration with key customers.
Our safety indicators have improved significantly over the past two years, with the lost time injury frequency rate halving to an annual average of 1.2 lost time accidents per million manhours worked. No fatal accident has been recorded this year. This reflects a constant management focus over years and the culture change we have been able to extend to our 45 facilities around the world.
As we look at the global climate agenda, we look forward to leading the steel industry's response to the challenge. Today, we have relatively low levels of CO2 emissions compared to our competitors, but we recognize the immensity of the "net zero" challenge. This will require collaboration across our entire industry value chain and has become a key focus in our agenda.
Over the past year, we have invested in particulate emissions collection systems to improve air quality at our steel mills in Argentina and Mexico. In other parts of our industrial system, such as our Bay City mill, we already have industry-leading emission levels. Investments like these improve working conditions for our employees and minimize the environmental impact of our operations on our communities.
In December, seven years after the inauguration of our Roberto Rocca Technical School in Campana, the first group of 50 students graduated. In a moving ceremony, we reflected on the importance of raising educational standards and providing opportunities to the aspiring young. Our educational programs are designed to make a difference at all levels throughout our communities.
We worked hard through the year to maintain the strength of our balance sheet. On sales of \$7.3 billion, our free cash flow margin was 16% as we reduced working capital by over \$500 million. At year end, our net cash position had risen to \$980 million. Even after the acquisition of IPSCO following the close of the year, we still have a positive net cash position at the end of the first quarter of 2020.
As we face this new crisis, which will change many aspects of our industry, we are taking the steps necessary to strengthen our position as a leader in the eventual recovery.
During these most difficult times, I would like to give special thanks to our employees, who are showing exemplary solidarity and resilience as well as a capacity to act fast throughout the world. I am proud of them. I would also like to thank our customers, suppliers and investors for their ongoing support.

Unless otherwise specified or if the context so requires:
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the European Union. Additionally, this annual report includes certain non-IFRS alternative performance measures such as EBITDA, Net cash/debt position and Free Cash Flow. See Exhibit 1 for more details on these alternative performance measures.
Following the sale in January 2017 of our steel electric conduit business in North America, known as Republic Conduit, the results of Republic Conduit are presented as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5, "Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations". Consequently, all amounts related to discontinued operations within each line item of the consolidated income statement are reclassified into discontinued operations. The consolidated statement of cash flows includes the cash flows for continuing and discontinued operations; cash flows and earnings per share from discontinued operations are disclosed separately in note 29 "Discontinued Operations" to our audited financial statements included in this annual report, as well as additional information detailing net assets of disposal group classified as held for sale and discontinued operations.
We publish consolidated financial statements presented in increments of a thousand U.S. dollars. This annual report includes our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. We completed the acquisition of IPSCO Tubulars Inc. ("IPSCO") discussed elsewhere in this annual

companies - Techgen S.A. de C.V." to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. For more information on the Company's commitments under the power plant, see see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk - Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements".
We believe our main competitive strengths include:
Tenaris has one major business segment, "Tubes", which is also the reportable operating segment.
The Tubes segment includes the production and sale of both seamless and welded steel tubular products and related services mainly for the oil and gas industry, particularly OCTG used in drilling operations, and for other industrial applications with production processes that consist in the transformation of steel into tubular products. Business activities included in this segment are mainly dependent on the oil and gas industry worldwide, as this industry is a major consumer of steel pipe products, particularly OCTG used in drilling activities. Demand for steel pipe products from the oil and gas industry has historically been volatile and depends primarily upon the number of oil and natural gas wells being drilled, completed and the depth and drilling conditions of such wells. Sales are generally made to end users, with exports being done through a centrally managed global distribution network and domestic sales made through local subsidiaries. Corporate general and administrative expenses have been allocated to the Tubes segment.
The "Others" segment includes all other business activities and operating segments that are not required to be separately reported, including the production and selling of sucker rods, industrial equipment, coiled tubing, heat exchangers, utility conduits for buildings, and the sale of energy and raw materials that exceed internal requirements.
For more information on our business segments, see "II C. Accounting Policies - Segment information" to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.
Our principal finished products are seamless and welded steel casing and tubing, line pipe and various other mechanical and structural steel pipes for different uses. Casing and tubing are also known as oil country tubular goods ("OCTG"). We manufacture our steel pipe products in a wide range of specifications, which vary in diameter, length, thickness, finishing, steel grades, coating, threading and coupling. For more complex applications, including high pressure and high temperature applications, seamless steel pipes are usually specified and, for some standard applications, welded steel pipes can also be used.
Casing. Steel casing is used to sustain the walls of oil and gas wells during and after drilling.
Tubing. Steel tubing is used to conduct crude oil and natural gas to the surface after drilling has been completed.
Line pipe. Steel line pipe is used to transport crude oil and natural gas from wells to refineries, storage tanks and loading and distribution centers.
Mechanical and structural pipes. Mechanical and structural pipes are used by general industry for various applications, including the transportation of other forms of gas and liquids under high pressure.
Cold-drawn pipe. The cold-drawing process permits the production of pipes with the diameter and wall thickness required for use in boilers, superheaters, condensers, automobile production and several other industrial applications.
Premium joints and couplings. Premium joints and couplings are specially designed connections used to join lengths of steel casing and tubing for use in high temperature or high pressure environments. A significant portion of our steel casing and tubing products are supplied with premium joints and couplings. We own an extensive range of premium connections, and following the integration of the premium connections business of Hydril, we have marketed our premium connection products under the "TenarisHydril" brand name. In addition, we hold licensing rights to manufacture and sell the Atlas Bradford range of premium connections outside the United States and, since our acquisition of IPSCO in January 2020, we now own the Ultra range of premium connections, marketed under the "Ultra" brand, which are used mainly in U.S. onshore applications.
Coiled tubing. Coiled tubing is used for oil and gas drilling and well workovers and for subsea pipelines.
Other products. We also manufacture sucker rods used in oil extraction activities and industrial equipment of various specifications and diverse applications, including liquid and gas storage equipment. In addition, we produce shell and tube heat exchangers for various applications, and we sell energy and raw materials that exceed our internal requirements.
We operate relatively low-cost production facilities, which we believe is the result of:
Our seamless pipes production facilities are located in North and South America, Europe and Asia and our welded pipes production facilities are located in North and South America and, from January 2019, in Saudi Arabia. In addition, we have tubular accessories facilities, such as sucker rods, in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Romania, and the United States. We produce couplings in Argentina, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Mexico and Romania, and pipe fittings in Mexico. In addition to our pipe threading and finishing facilities at our integrated pipe production facilities, we also have pipe threading facilities for steel pipes manufactured in accordance with the specifications of the American Petroleum Institute ("API"), and premium joints in the United States, Canada, China, Denmark, Ecuador, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia.
The following table shows our aggregate installed production capacity of seamless and welded steel pipes and steel bars at the dates indicated as well as the aggregate actual production volumes for the periods indicated.
Capacity of welded tubes in 2019 increased in respect to 2018 due to the acquisition of SSPC, while capacity of seamless tubes in 2018 increased in respect to 2017 due to the completion of Tenaris Bay City, our state-of-theart pipe mill in Bay City, Texas.

Effective annual production capacity is calculated based on standard production lines, theoretical product mix allocations, the maximum number of possible working shifts and a continued flow of supplies to the production process.
In 2020 our production capacity - for steel bars, seamless and welded pipes - is expected to increase due to the acquisition of IPSCO. Due to the acquisition of IPSCO, Tenaris owns its first steel shop in the US. Furthermore, Tenaris integrated IPSCO's seamless, welded, finishing and threading facilities.
The global market for steel pipe products is highly competitive. Seamless steel pipe products, which are used extensively in the oil and gas industry particularly for offshore, high stress and other complex applications, are produced in specialized mills using round steel billets and specially produced ingots. Welded steel pipe products are produced in mills which process steel coils and plates into steel companies that manufacture steel coils and other steel products but do not operate specialized seamless steel mills are generally not competitors in the market for seamless steel pipe products, although they often produce welded steel pipes or sell steel coils and plates used to produce welded steel pipes.
The production of steel pipe products following the stringent requirements of major oil and gas companies operating in offshore and other complex operations requires the development of specific skills and significant investments in manufacturing facilities. By contrast, steel pipe products for standard applications can be produced in most seamless pipe mills worldwide and sometimes compete with welded pipe products for such applications including OCTG applications. Welded pipe, however, is not generally considered a satisfactory substitute for seamless steel pipe in high-pressure or high-stress applications.
Over the past decade, substantial investments have been made, especially in China but also in other regions around the world, to increase production capacity of seamless steel pipe products. Production capacity for more specialized product grades has also increased. With the downturn between 2014 and 2016 in the price of oil and demand for tubes for oil and gas drilling, the overcapacity in steel pipe and seamless steel pipe production worldwide has become acute, and now extends beyond commodity grades. The competitive environment has, as a result, become more intense, and we expect that this will continue for some time. Effective competitive differentiation will be a key factor for Tenaris.
Our principal competitors in steel pipe markets worldwide are described below.
· Vallourec S.A. ("Vallourec"), a French company, has mills in Brazil, China, Germany and the United States. Vallourec has a strong presence in the European market for seamless pipes for industrial use and a significant market share in the international market with customers primarily in Europe, the United States, Brazil, China, the Middle East and Africa. Vallourec is an important competitor in the
international OCTG market, particularly for high-value premium joint products, where it operates a technology partnership for VAM® premium connections with Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation ("NSSMC"). Prior to the collapse in oil prices in 2014 to 2016, Vallourec increased its production capacity by building mills in Brazil (jointly with NSSMC) and, Youngstown, Ohio, acquiring three tubular businesses in the United States and Saudi Arabia, concluding and agreement with a Chinese seamless steel producer, Tianda Oil Pipe Company ("Tianda") to distribute products from Tianda in markets outside China. In early 2016, in response to accumulating losses, Vallourec announced a \$1 billion capital increase, more than half of which was provided by a French government fund and NSSMC, who each agreed to increase their equity participation to 15%. At the same time, an industrial restructuring program was announced under which Vallourec reduced capacity in Europe, closing its rolling mills in France, combined its operations in Brazil with that of the new mill held with NSSMC, acquired a majority position in Tianda and bought out the remaining minority interest, and strengthened its cooperation with NSSMC for the development and testing of premium connection products and technology. Despite this restructuring program, Vallourec's losses have continued through 2019 and, in February 2020, it announced a further capital increase of \$0.8 billion to take place later this year, to which the French government fund has agreed to subscribe in proportion to its existing shareholding while NSSMC has agreed to subscribe a less than proportional amount and reduce its shareholding to 10%.
markets, where they have their production facilities. In January 2020, TMK completed the sale of IPSCO to Tenaris.
Producers of steel pipe products can maintain strong competitive positions in markets where their pipe manufacturing facilities due to logistical and other advantages that permit them to offer value-added services and maintain strong relationships with domestic customers, particularly in the oil and gas sectors. Our subsidiaries have established strong ties with major consumers of steel pipe products in their home markets, reinforced by Rig Direct® services, as discussed above.
During 2019, our capital expenditures, including investments at our plants and information systems (IT), amounted to \$350 million, compared to \$349 million in 2018 and \$558 million in 2017. Of these capital expenditures, 2019 investment at our plants reached \$314 million compared to \$318 million in 2018 and \$525 million in 2017.
In 2019 we focused on enhancing automation and digitalization of our industrial processes, improvements on safety and environmental issues, product differentiation and competitiveness.
The major highlights of our capital spending program during 2019 included: investments in our three-year global automation plan covering all of our industrial system worldwide; new equipment and related infrastructure to improve safety conditions at our entire industrial system; the revamping of the shaft furnace at the Direct Reduction Iron ("DRI") plant, the expansion of the dedusting system capacity at the steel shop (still ongoing) and a capacity increase of the component center at our Campana mill in Argentina; the completion of the steel shop fumes dedusting and cooling systems project, the handling range extension to 3.8 tons/pcs- of the multi-stand plug mill ("MPM") hot rolling mill, innovative solutions at the Non-Destructive Tests ("NDTs") of the FAT2 finishing lines and the increase of threading capacity at the couplings plant at our Veracruz Facility in Mexico; the consolidation of the new heat treatment plant, the revamping of the main ultrasonic test equipment, and an innovative NDT inspection system for the expander mill production line at our Dalmine facility in Italy; the revamping of the threading and phosphatizing lines in our McCarty facility in the US; the steel shop capacity increase of our Calarasi plant which is still on going, the installation of a new airbag production line with full automatic inspection system at our mill in Zalau, Romania and the installation of a new service center in Pindamonhangaba, Brasil.
Our capital expenditure programs are being reviewed to address short-term changes in business conditions, and capital expenditures in 2020 are expected to be significantly lower than the level of 2019: they will include the completion of some of the projects started in 2019 described above, as well as the construction of a new premium threading plant in Abu Dhabi as required under an agreement with ADNOC.

In addition to R&D aimed at new or improved products, we continuously study opportunities to optimize our manufacturing processes. Recent projects in this area include modeling of rolling and finishing process and the development of different process controls, with the goal of improving product quality at our facilities.
We seek to protect our innovation, through the use of patents, trademarks and other intellectual property tools that allow us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors.
We spent \$61 million in R&D in 2019, compared to \$63 million in 2018 and \$64 million in 2017.
Capitalized costs were not material for the years 2019, 2018 and 2017.
We are subject to a wide range of local, provincial and national laws, regulations, permit requirements and decrees relating to the protection of human health and the environment, including laws and regulations relating to hazardous materials and radioactive materials and environmental protection governing air emissions, water discharges and waste management. Laws and regulations protecting the environment have become increasingly complex and more stringent and expensive to implement in recent years. International environmental requirements vary from one jurisdiction to another.
The ultimate impact of complying with existing laws and regulations is not always clearly known or determinable since regulations under some of these laws are not yet effective or are undergoing revision. The expenditures necessary to remain in compliance with these laws and regulations, including site or other remediation costs, or costs incurred from potential environmental liabilities, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and profitability. While we incur and will continue to incur, in expenditures to comply with applicable laws and regulations, there always remains a risk that environmental incidents or accidents may occur that may negatively affect our reputation or our operations.
Compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations is a significant factor in our business. We have not been subject to any material penalty for any material environmental violation in the last five years, and we are not aware of any current material legal or administrative proceedings pending against us with respect to environmental matters which could have an adverse material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
We carry property damage, general liability and certain other insurance coverage in line with industry practice. However, we do not carry business interruption insurance. Our current general liability coverage includes third party, employers, sudden and accidental seepage and pollution and product liability, up to a limit of \$300 million. Our current property insurance has indemnification caps up to \$250 million for direct damage, depending on the different plants; and a deductible of \$100 million.
We conduct all our operations through subsidiaries. The following table shows the principal subsidiaries of the Company and its direct and indirect ownership in each subsidiary as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

We have a significant investment in Ternium, a Luxembourg company controlled by San Faustin, whose securities are listed on the NYSE. As of December 31, 2019, the Company held 11.46% of Ternium's share capital (including treasury shares).
The Company is a party to a shareholders' agreement with Techint Holdings S.à.r.l. ("Techint Holdings"), a wholly owned subsidiary of San Faustin and Ternium's main shareholder, dated January 9, 2006, pursuant to which Techint Holdings is required to take actions within its power to cause one of the members of Ternium's board of directors to be nominated by the Company and any directors nominated by the Company to be removed only pursuant to previous written instructions from the Company and Techint Holdings also agreed to cause any vacancies on Ternium's board of directors to be filled with new directors nominated by either the Company or Techint Holdings, as applicable. The shareholders' agreement will remain in effect so long as each of the parties holds at least 5% of the shares of Ternium or until it is terminated by either the Company or Techint Holdings pursuant to its terms. Carlos Condorelli was nominated by the Company as a director of Ternium pursuant to this shareholders' agreement.
On January 16, 2012, Confab, acquired 5.0% of the shares with voting rights and 2.5% of the total share capital in Usiminas, a leading Brazilian producer of high quality flat steel products used in the energy, automotive and other industries. The acquisition was part of a larger transaction pursuant to which Confab and Ternium's subsidiaries Ternium Investments S.à.r.l., Ternium Argentina and Prosid Investments S.A. (jointly, the "Ternium Entities") formed the so-called T/T Group and joined Usiminas' existing control group through the acquisition of ordinary shares representing 27.7% of Usiminas' total voting capital and 13.8% of Usiminas' total share capital. In addition, the T/T Group entered into a shareholders' agreement with the NSSMC Group (formed by NSSMC, Mitsubishi Corporation do Brasil S.A. and Metal One Corporation) and Previdência Usiminas, an Usiminas employee fund, governing the parties' rights within the Usiminas control group.
Following a subsequent subscription in 2016 to 1.3 million Usiminas preferred shares and 11.5 million Usiminas ordinary shares, as of December 31, 2019, Confab owned 36.5 million ordinary shares and 1.3 million preferred shares of Usiminas, representing 5.2% of Usiminas' total voting capital and 3.07% of Usiminas' total share capital.
In 2014, a conflict arose within the T/T Group and NSSMC with respect to the governance of Usiminas, including with respect to the rules applicable to the appointment of senior managers, the application of the shareholders' agreement in matters involving fiduciary duties, and generally with respect to Usiminas' business strategy.
On February 8, 2018, the dispute was resolved; and on April 10, 2018, the T/T Group entities (including Confab), the NSSMC Group entities and Previdência Usiminas entered into a new shareholders' agreement for Usiminas, amending and restating the previously existing shareholders' agreement ("the New SHA"). Usiminas" control group now holds, in the aggregate, 483.6 million ordinary shares bound to the New SHA, representing approximately 68.6% of Usiminas' voting capital, with the T/T Group holding approximately 47.1% of the total shares held by the control group (39.5% corresponding to the Ternium Entities and the other 7.6% corresponding to Confab); the NSSMC Group holding approximately 45.9% of the total shares held by the control group; and Previdencia Usiminas holding the remaining 7% of the total shares held by the control group.
The New SHA reflects the agreed-upon corporate governance rules for Usiminas, including, among others, an alternation mechanism for the nomination of each of the chief executive officer and the chairman of the board of directors, as well as a mechanism of other members of Usiminas' executive board. The New SHA also incorporates an exit mechanism consisting of a buy-and-sell procedure, exercisable at any time during the term of the New SHA after the fourth-and-a-half-year anniversary from the coming election of Usiminas' executive board in May 2018. Such exit mechanism shall apply with respect to shares held by the NSSMC Group and the T/T Group, and would allow either Ternium (on behalf of the T/T Group) or NSSMC to purchase all or a majority of the Usiminas shares held by the other shareholder group.
In connection with the execution of the New SHA, the Ternium Entities and Confab amended and restated their separate shareholders' agreement governing their respective rights and obligations as members of the T/T Group to include provisions relating to the exit mechanism and generally to conform such separate shareholders' agreement to the other provisions of the New SHA.
Techgen is a Mexican joint venture company owned 48% by Temium, 30% by Tecpetrol and 22% by Tenaris. Techgen operates a natural gas-fired combined cycle electric power plant in the Pesquería area of the State of Nuevo León, Mexico. Tenaris, Ternium and Tecpetrol are parties to a shareholder's agreement relating to the governance of Techgen.
On February 13, 2019 Techgen entered into a \$640 million syndicated loan agreement with several banks to refinance an existing loan, resulting in the release of certain corporate guarantee issued by Techgen's shareholders.
Techgen's obligations under the current facility, which is "non-recourse" on the sponsors, are guaranteed by a Mexican security trust covering Techgen's shares, assets and accounts as well as Techgen's affiliates rights under certain contracts.
On February 5, 2019 Tenaris entered into an agreement with Severstal to build a welded pipe plant to produce OCTG products in the Surgut area, West Siberia, Russian Federation. Tenaris holds a 49% interest in the company, while Severstal owns the remaining 51%. The plant, which is estimated to require an investment of \$280 million, is planned to have an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons. As of December 31, 2019 Tenaris contributed approximately \$19.6 million in the project.

producers were forced to pay buyers to take their barrels. It is not known how long it will take for oil and gas demand to recover or to achieve a more balanced position between supply and demand. As a result, prices are expected to remain at low levels for an extended period. In these circumstances, most of our customers have announced, or are making, significant cuts to their investment plans and are likely to announce further cuts, in which case demand for our products will decline further and have a material impact on our operations, revenues, profitability and financial condition. For more information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the oil and gas crisis, see "Recent Developments - The COVID-19 pandemic and the oil & gas crisis and their impact on Tenaris's operations and financial condition."
The global market for steel pipe products is highly competitive, with the primary competitive factors being price, quality, service and technology. In recent years, substantial investments have been made, especially in China but also in the United States, to increase production capacity of seamless steel pipe products, and as a result there is significant excess production capacity, particularly for "commodity" or standard product grades. Capacity for the production of more specialized product grades has also increased. At the same time, the high cost and long lead times required to develop the most complex projects, particularly deepwater and oil sands projects, has led to a slowdown in the sanctioning of new developments in a context of low and more volatile oil prices. Despite our efforts to develop products and services that differentiate us from our competitors, reduced demand for steel pipe products from these complex projects means that the competitive environment is expected to remain intense in the coming years and effective competitive differentiation will be a key success factor for Tenaris. In addition, there is a risk of unfairly traded steel pipe imports in markets in which Tenaris produces and sells its products and, despite the application of antidumping duties and tariffs, we can give no assurance with respect to the effectiveness of these actions. Therefore, we may not continue to compete effectively against existing or potential producers and preserve our current shares of geographic or product markets, and increased competition may have a material impact on the pricing of our products and services, which could in turn adversely affect our revenues, profitability and financial condition.
The manufacture of seamless steel pipe products requires substantial amounts of steelmaking raw materials and energy; welded steel pipe products, in turn, are processed from steel coils and plates. The availability and pricing of a significant portion of the raw materials and energy we require are subject to supply and demand conditions, which can be volatile, and to tariffs and other government regulations, which can affect continuity of supply and prices. In addition, disruptions, restrictions or limited availability of energy resources in markets where we have significant operations could lead to higher costs of production and eventually to production cutbacks at our facilities in such markets. For example, in Mexico, the decrease in the national production of natural gas and constraints in natural gas transportation capacity have led to increased imports of natural gas which have resulted in increased natural gas transportation costs and, thus, higher steel pipe production costs. See "Risks Relating to Our Business - Adverse economic or political conditions in the countries where we operate or sell our products and services may decrease our sales or disrupt our manufacturing operations, thereby adversely affecting our revenues, profitability and financial condition". At any given time, we may be unable to obtain an adequate supply of critical raw materials with price and other terms acceptable to us. The availability and prices of raw materials may also be negatively affected by new laws and regulations, including import controls, allocation by suppliers, interruptions in production, accidents or natural disasters, changes in exchange rates, worldwide price fluctuations, and the availability and cost of transportation. In addition, we may not be able to recover, partially or fully, increased costs of raw materials and energy through increased selling prices on our products, or it may take an extended period of time to do so, and limited availability could force us to curtail production, which could adversely affect our sales and profitability.
Like other manufacturers of steel-related products, we have fixed costs (e.g., labor and other operating and maintenance costs) that cannot adjust rapidly to fluctuations in product demand for several reasons, including operational constraints and regulatory restrictions. If demand for our products falls significantly, or if we unable to operate due to, for example, governmental measures or unavailability of workforce, these costs may adversely affect our profitability and financial condition. In response to the abrupt and steep downturn of the oil and gas industry, we have been required to implement cost-containment measures, including reduction of our operating activities in several jurisdictions, temporary closure of facilities in the United States and review of our capital expenditure plans. Temporary suspensions of operations or closure of facilities generally lead to layoffs of employees, which may in turn give rise to labor conflicts and impact operations. Moreover, cost containment measures may also affect profitability and result in charges for asset impairments. For more information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the oil and gas crisis, see "Recent Developments - The COVID-19 pandemic and the oil & gas crisis and their impact on Tenaris's operations and financial condition"; and for more information on liquidity and capital resources, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Principal Sources of Funding".
We provide products and services to the oil and gas industry, which is generally blamed for greenhouse gas emissions. There is an increased attention on greenhouse gas emissions and climate change from different sectors of society. Existing or future legislations related to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, as well as government initiatives to promote the use of alternative energy sources (with many jurisdictions implementing tax advantages and other subsidies to promote the development of renewable energy sources, or even requiring minimum thresholds for power generation from renewable sources), may significantly curtail demand for and production of fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas. These initiatives, together with the growing social awareness regarding climate change and other environmental matters, have resulted in increased investor and consumer demand for renewable energy and additional compliance requirements for fossil energy projects, which are likely to become more stringent over time and to result in substantial increases in costs for the oil and natural gas industry. Furthermore, ongoing technological developments in the renewable energy industry are making renewable energy increasingly competitive against fossil-fuels. If this trend continues, energy demand could shift increasingly towards "cleaner" sources such as hydroelectrical, solar, wind and other renewable energies, which would, in turn, reduce demand for oil and natural gas, thus negatively affecting demand for our products and services and, ultimately, our future results of operations.
We have sigmificant operations in various countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Romania, Saudi Arabia and the United States, and we sell our products and services throughout the world. Additionally, in 2019, we formed a joint venture with Severstal, and we are currently building a welded pipe plant in Russia. Therefore, like other companies with worldwide operations, our business and operations have been, and could in the future be, affected from time to varying degrees by political, economic, social and public health developments and changes in laws and regulations. These developments and changes may include, among others, nationalization, expropriation or forced divestiture of assets; restrictions on production, imports and exports; travel, transportation or trade bans; interruptions in the supply of essential energy inputs; exchange and/or transfer restrictions, inability or increasing difficulties to repatriate income or capital or to make contract payments; inflation; war or other international conflicts; civil unrest and local security concerns, including high incidences of crime and violence involving drug trafficking organizations that threaten the safe operation of our facilities and indirect price controls; tax increases and changes (including retroactive) in the interpretation, application or enforcement of tax laws and other claims or challenges; cancellation of contract rights; and delays or denials of govermental approvals. Both the likelihood of such occurrences and their overall impact upon us vary greatly from country to country and are not predictable. Realization of these risks could have an adverse impact on the results of operations and financial condition of our subsidiaries located in the affected country and, depending on their materiality, on the results of operations and financial condition of Tenaris as a whole.
Our business and operations in Argentina, from where in 2019 we derived more than 10% of our revenues, including sales to domestic and export markets, may be materially and adversely affected by economic, political, social, fiscal and regulatory developments, including the following:
Macroeconomic and political conditions in Argentina may adversely affect our business and operations. Increased state intervention in the economy, along with the introduction of changes to government policies, could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

Following the COVID-19 outbreak, some of our facilities have been affected, and may continue to be affected, by shutdowns or other restrictions mandated by governmental authorities or otherwise adopted as a preventive measure, or by the unavailability of workforce. For more information on the status of our operations see "Recent Developments - The COVID-19 pandemic and the oil & gas crisis and their impact on Tenaris's operations and financial condition."
Some of the previously described emergency situations could result in damage to property, delays in production or shipments and, in extreme cases, death or injury to persons. Any of the foregoing could create liability for Tenaris. To the extent that lost production or delays in shipments cannot be compensated for by unaffected facilities, such events could have an adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition. Additionally, we do not carry business interruption insurance, and the insurance we maintain for property damage and general liability may not be adequate or available to protect us under such events, its coverage may be limited, or the amount of our insurance may be less than the related loss. For more information on our insurance coverage see "Insurance".
Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life, including goodwill, are subject to at least an annual impairment test. At December 31, 2019 we had \$1,320 million in goodwill corresponding mainly to the acquisition of Hydril'') in 2007 (\$920 million) and Maverick Tube Corporation ("Maverick") in 2006 (\$229 million). We recognized goodwill for approximately \$357 million in connection with our acquisition of IPSCO. As a result of the severe deterioration of business conditions and in light of the presence of impairment indicators for its U.S. operations, Tenaris recorded impairment charges as of March 31, 2020, in the carrying values of goodwill and other asset values at the cash-generating units OCTG USA (Maverick), IPSCO, Rods USA and Coiled Tubing, for an aggregate amount of approximately \$622 million.
For more information on impairment charges on our U.S. operations see "Recent Developments - The COVID-19 pandemic and the oil & gas crisis and their impact on Tenaris's operations and financial condition."
As a global company we manufacture and sell products in a number of countries throughout the world and a portion of our business is carried out in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange rate risk. Changes in currency values and foreign exchange regulations could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. For information on our foreign exchange rate risk, please see "Quantitative Disclosure About Market Risk - Foreign Exchange Rate Risk".
We operate globally and conduct business in certain countries known to experience corruption. Although we are committed to conducting business in a legal and ethical manner in compliance with local and international statutory requirements and standards applicable to our business, there is a risk that our employees, representatives, affiliates, or other persons may take actions that violate applicable laws and regulations that generally prohibit the making of improper payments, including to foreign government officials, for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business, including laws relating to the 1997 OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"). Investigations by government authorities may occupy considerable management time and attention and result in significant expenditures, fines, penalties or other sanctions, as well as private lawsuits.
For information on matters related to an ongoing investigation with certain allegedly improper payments in Brazil, please refer to "Outstanding Legal Proceedings".

Pursuant to Luxembourg corporate law, existing shareholders of the Company are generally entitled to preferential subscription rights (preemptive rights) in the event of capital increases and issues against cash contributions. Under the Company's articles of association, the board of directors has been authorized to waive, limit or suppress such preemptive subscription rights. Although the validity period of such authorization will expire on June 5, 2020, the board of directors has convened an extraordinary meeting of shareholders to be held on June 2, 2020, which will consider the renewal of such authorization for an additional five year-period. Notwithstanding the waiver of any preemptive subscription rights, any issuance of shares for cash within the limits of the authorized share capital shall be subject to the pre-emptive subscription rights of existing shareholders, except (i) any issuance of shares (including without limitation, the direct issuance of shares or upon the exercise of options, rights convertible into shares, or similar instruments convertible or exchangeable into shares) against a contribution other than in cash; and (ii) any issuance of shares (including by way of free shares or at discount), up to an amount of 1.5% of the issued share capital of the Company, to directors, officers, agents, employees of the Company, its direct or indirect subsidiaries or its affiliates (or, collectively, the Beneficiaries), including without limitation, the direct issuance of shares or upon the exercise of options, rights convertible into shares or similar instruments convertible or exchangeable into shares, issued for the purpose of compensation or incentive of the Beneficiaries or in relation the board of directors shall be authorized to issue upon such terms and conditions as it deems fit).
Holders of ADSs in the United States may, in any event, not be able to exercise any preemptive rights, if granted, for shares underlying their ADSs unless additional shares and ADSs are registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), with respect to those rights, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. We intend to evaluate, at the time of any rights offering, the costs and potential liabilities associated with the exercise by holders of shares and ADSs of the preemptive rights for shares, and any other factors we consider appropriate at the time, and then to make a decision as to whether to register additional shares. We may decide not to register any additional shares, requiring a sale by the Depositary of the holders' rights and a distribution of the proceeds thereof. Should the Depositary not be permitted or otherwise be unable to sell preemptive rights may be allowed to lapse with no consideration to be received by the holders of the ADSs.
The Company is a société anonyme organized under the laws of Luxembourg, and most of its assets are located in other jurisdictions. Furthermore, most of the Company's directors and officers named in this annual report reside in different jurisdictions. As a result, investors may not be able to effect service of process upon us or our directors or officers. Investors may also not be able to enforce against us or our directors or officers in the investors' domestic courts, judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the domestic laws of the investors' home countries. Likewise, it may be difficult for investors not domiciled in Luxembourg to bring an original action in a Luxembourg court predicated upon the civil liability provisions of other securities laws, including U.S. federal securities laws, against the Company, its directors and officers. There is also uncertainty with regard to the enforceability of original actions of civil liabilities predicated upon the civil liability provisions of securities laws, including U.S. federal securities laws, outside the jurisdiction where such judgments have been rendered; and enforceability will be subject to compliance with procedural requirements under applicable local law, including the condition that the judgment does not violate the public policy of the applicable jurisdiction.

Certain information contained in this discussion and analysis and presented elsewhere in this annual report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements". In evaluating this discussion and analysis, you should specifically consider the various risk factors identified in "Principal Risks and Uncertainties", other risk factors identified elsewhere in this annual report and other factors that could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements.
We are a leading global manufacturer and supplier of steel pipe products and related services for the world's energy industry as well as for other industrial applications. Our customers include many of the world's leading oil and gas companies, engineering companies engaged in constructing oil and gas gathering and processing and power facilities, and industrial companies operating in a range of industries. We operate an integrated worldwide network of steel pipe manufacturing, research, finishing and service facilities with industrial operations in the Americas, Europe, Asia and a direct presence in most major oil and gas markets.
Demand for our products and services from the global oil and gas industry, particularly for tubular products and services used in drilling operations, represents a substantial majority of our total Tubes sales (84% in 2019). Our sales, therefore, depend on the condition of the oil and gas industry and our customers' willingness to invest capital in oil and gas exploration and development as well as in associated downstream processing activities. The level of these expenditures is sensitive to oil and gas prices as well as the oil and gas industry's view of such prices in the future. Crude oil prices fell from over \$100 per barrel in June 2014 to less than \$30 per barrel in February 2016, before recovering to around \$80 per barrel in the third quarter of 2018, but subsequently fell 40% in the fourth quarter of 2018 before recovering in 2019. Prices have fallen again historically low levels in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the oil price conflict between Saudi Arabia and Russia. North American natural gas prices (Henry Hub), which were around \$4 per million BTU in 2014, also briefly fell below \$2 per million BTU at the beginning of 2016, before recovering to average levels of \$3 per million BTU during the past three years, but have subsequently fallen back below \$2 per million BTU.
In 2019, worldwide drilling activity, as represented in the number of active drilling rigs published by Baker Hughes, decreased 2% compared to the level of 2018, with larger decreases concentrated in the U.S. and Canadian shale plays, partially compensated by a gradual increase in international rigs which started in the second half of 2018. In the United States the rig count in 2019 decreased by 9%, with an average of 943 active rigs, but ended the year with more than 200 fewer active rigs than at the beginning. Drilling activity in the United States declined throughout the year but has stabilized around 790 rigs in the beginning of 2020, prior to the most recent decline in oil prices. In Canada, the rig count in 2019 declined by 30% compared with 2018, while in the rest of the world, it rose 11%.
Prior to the 2014 downturn in oil prices, a growing proportion of exploration spending by oil and gas companies had been directed at offshore, deep drilling and non-conventional drilling operations in which high-value tubular products, including special steel grades and premium connections, are usually specified. The success, however, of shale drilling operators, with their investment cycles, in adapting to lower oil and gas costs and increasing production, and the increasing share of oil produced in shale plays as a proportion of global supply, has led to a slowdown in new developments of complex offshore projects with long investment lead times in a context of low and more volatile oil prices, consequently affecting the level of product differentiation.
The global market for steel pipes is highly competitive, with the primary competitive factors being price, quality, service and technology. We sell our products in a large number of countries worldwide and compete primarily against European and Japanese producers in most markets outside North America. In the United States and Canada, we compete against a wide range of local and foreign producers. Over the past decade, substantial investments have been made, especially in China but also in other regions around the world, to increase production capacity of seamless steel pipe production capacity for more specialized product grades has also increased. With the downturn between 2014 and 2016 in the price of oil and demand for tubes for oil and gas drilling, the overcapacity in steel pipe and seamless steel pipe production worldwide has become acute, and now extends beyond commodity grades. The competitive environment has, as a result, become more intense, and we expect that this will continue for some time. Effective competitive differentiation will be a key factor for Tenaris.
In addition, there is an increased risk of unfairly traded steel pipe imports in markets in which we produce and sell our products. In September 2014, the United States imposed anti-dumping duties on OCTG imports from various countries, including South Korea. Despite the duties imposed, imports from South Korea continued at a very high level. As a result, U.S. domestic producers have requested successive reviews of South Korea's exports, which are ongoing. At the same time South Korean producers have appealed the duties imposed. Similarly, in Canada, the Canada Border Services Agency introduced anti-dumping duties on OCTG imports from South Korea and other countries in April 2015.
During 2018, in addition to anti-dumping duties, the U.S. government introduced tariffs and quotas pursuant to Section 232 on the imports of steel products, including steel pipes, with the objective of strengthening domestic production capacity utilization and investment. Quotas were imposed on the imports of steel products from South Korea, Brazil and Argentina, while 25% tariffs were imposed on imports from most other countries, except Australia. The proportion of the OCTG market supplied by imports has declined from around 60% prior to the imposition of tariffs and quotas to around 35% at the end of 2019. This included, as a direct result of the fixed quota imposed on the imports of steel pipes from South Korean imports have halved compared to prior levels.
We purchase substantial quantities of steelmaking raw materials, including ferrous steel scrap, direct reduced iron (DRI), pig iron, iron ore and ferroalloys, for use in the production of our seamless pipe products. In addition, we purchase substantial quantities of steel coils and plates for use in the production of our welded pipe products. Our production costs, therefore, are sensitive to prices of steelmaking raw materials and certain steel products, which reflect supply and demand factors in the global steel industry and in the countries where we have our manufacturing facilities.
The costs of steelmaking raw materials and of steel coils and plates decreased during 2019. As a reference, prices for hot rolled coils, HRC Midwest USA Mill, published by CRU, averaged \$670 per ton in 2019 compared to \$915 per ton in 2018.
In 2019, our sales declined 5% compared to 2018, reflecting lower drilling activity in Canada and the USA and lower sales in the Middle East and Africa. Despite the integration of SSPC and a strong level of premium sales for Indian offshore gas projects, sales in the Middle East and Africa region were affected by Aramco destocking in Saudi Arabia and did not include the extraordinary level of sales to East Mediterranean gas pipelines recorded in 2018.
Operating income declined 5% in line with the decline in sales. Although gross margins were affected by lower volumes and high maintenance and start-up delays associated with the major overhauls and investments we carried out at many of our industrial facilities including Tamsa in Mexico, these were compensated by lower amortization charges. Shareholders net income declined 15% tor the year, reflecting the decline in operating income and lower returns on our investment in Ternium.
Cash flow provided by operating activities amounted to \$1,528 million during 2019, which included a reduction in working capital of \$523 million. This amounted to a free cash flow margin of 16%, following capital expenditures of \$350 million. During the year we made dividen payments of \$484 million, an investment of \$133 million in SSPC, and our net cash position increased by \$495 million to \$980 million at December 31, 2019.
The rapid decline in economic activity and unprecedented collapse in global oil demand as a result of the measures taken to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world has resulted in an equally unprecedented collapse in oil prices, due to the imbalance between production, storage capacity and demand. At this moment, it is not possible to determine how long it will take for economic activity and oil and gas demand to recover and for supply and demand to rebalance. In this environment, investments in exploration and production of oil and gas are being severely curtailed and are not expected to recover in the short term.

The preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with IFRS requires us to make estimates and assumptions that might affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Management evaluates its accounting estimates and assumptions, including those related to longlived tangible and intangible assets; assets useful lives; deferred income tax; obsolescence of inventory; doubtful accounts; post employment benefits and loss contingencies, and revises them when appropriate. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although management believes that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the time they are made. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our most critical accounting estimates are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and which require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting estimates and judgments are the following:
To account for our business combinations we use the acquisition method, which required assets and assumed liabilities to be recorded at their respective fair value as of the acquisition date. The determination of fair values of assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed and determination of useful lives, requires us to make estimates and use valuation techniques, including the use of independent valuators, when market value is not readily available. The excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.
Long-lived assets including identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units, or "CGU"). Most of Tenaris's principal subsidiaries that constitute a CGU have a single main production facility and, accordingly, each of such subsidiary represents the lowest level of asset aggregation that generates largely independent cash inflows.
Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life, including goodwill, are subject to at least an annual impairment test.
In assessing whether there is any indication that a CGU may be impaired, external and internal sources of information are analyzed. Material facts and circumstances specifically considered in the analysis usually include the discount rate used in Tenaris's cash flow projections and the business condition in terms of competitive and economic factors, such as the cost of raw materials, oil and gas prices, capital expenditure programs for Tenaris's customers and the evolution of the rig count.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher between the asset's value in use and fair value less costs of disposal. Any impairment loss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the assets of the CGU in the following order:
The value in use of each CGU is determined on the basis of the present value of net future cash flows which would be generated by such CGU. Tenaris uses cash flow projections for a five-year period with a terminal value calculated based on perpetuity and appropriate discount rates.
For purposes of calculating the fair value less costs of disposal Tenaris uses the estimated value of future cash flows that a market participant could generate from the corresponding CGU.
Management judgment is required to estimate discounted future cash flows. Actual cash flows and values could vary significantly from the forecasted flows and related values derived using discounting techniques.
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
No impairment charge was recorded in 2019, 2018, or 2017. For more information on impairment and recoverability of goodwill and other assets, see "II. Accounting Policies G. Impairment of non-financial assets" to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. For information on impairment charges on our U.S. operations, see "Recent Developments - The COVID-19 pandemic and the oil & gas crisis and their impact on Tenaris's operations and financial condition."
Property, plant and equipment are stated at directly attributable historical acquisition or construction cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Property, plant and equipment acquired through acquisitions accounted for as business combinations are valued initially at fair market value of the assets acquired. Depreciation of the cost of the asset (apart from land, which is not depreciated) to its residual value over its estimated useful life, is done using the straight line method. The depreciation method is reviewed at each year end. Estimating useful lives for depreciation is particularly difficult as the service lives of assets are also impacted by maintenance and changes in technology, and our ability to adapt technological innovation to the existing asset base. In accordance with IAS 16, "Property, Plant and Equipment", the depreciation method, the residual value and the useful life of an asset must be reviewed at least at each financial year-end, and, if expectations differ from previous estimates, the change must be treated as a change in an accounting estimate. Management's re-estimation of asset useful lives performed in accordance with IAS 16 did not materially affect depreciation expense for 2019. However, if management's estimates prove incorrect, the carrying value of plant and equipment and its useful lives may be required to be reduced from amounts currently recorded. Any such reductions may materially affect asset values and results of operations.
In accordance with IFRS 3, "Business Combinations" and IAS 38, "Intangible Assets" Tenaris has recognized the value of customer relationships separately from goodwill attributable to the acquisition of Maverick and Hydril groups, as well as the more recent acquisition of SSPC.
Customer relationships acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date, have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization is calculated using the straight line method over the initial expected useful life of approximately 14 years for Hydril and 9 years for SSPC.
In 2018 the Company reviewed the useful life of Maverick's Tubes customer relationships and decided to reduce the remaining useful life from 2 years to zero, consequently a higher amortization charge of approximately \$109 million was recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement under Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018.
As of December 31, 2019, the net book value of SSPC's customer relationship amounted to \$72.9 million, with a residual useful life of 8 years. Maverick's coiled tubing customer relationships amounted to \$9.9 million with a residual useful life of 1 year, while Hydril's customer relationships is fully amortized.
Inventories are stated at the lower between cost and net realizable value. The cost of finished goods and goods in process is comprised of raw materials, direct labor, utilities, freights and other direct costs and related production overhead costs, and it excludes borrowing costs. The allocation of fixed production costs, including depreciation and amortization charges, is based on the normal level of production capacity. Inventories cost is mainly based on the FIFO method. Tenaris estimates net realizable value of inventories by grouping, where applicable, similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business, less any estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Goods in transit as of year-end are valued based on the supplier's invoice cost.
Tenaris establishes an allowance for obsolete or slow-moving inventories related to finished goods, goods in process, supplies and spare parts. For slow moving or obsolete finished products, an allowance is established based on management's analysis of product aging. An allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory of supplies and spare parts is established based on management's analysis of such items to be used as intended and the consideration of potential obsolescence due to technological changes, aging and consumption patterns.
Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value that corresponds to the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components. The Company holds trade receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Due to the short-term nature, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.
Tenaris applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of three years and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.
Deferred income tax is recognized applying the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The principal temporary differences arise from the effect of currency translation on depreciable fixed assets and inventories, depreciation on property, plant and equipment, valuation of inventories, provisions for pension plans and fair value adjustments of assets acquired in business combinations. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for net operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the time period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period, Tenaris reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. Tenaris recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognized for temporary differences between the carrying anount and tax basis of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are re-measured if tax rates change. These amounts are charged or credited to the Consolidated Income Statement or to the item Other comprehensive income for the year in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, depending on the account to which the original amount was charged or credited.
The Company estimates at each year-end the provision necessary to meet its post employment obligations in accordance with the advice from independent actuaries. The calculation of post employment and other employee obligations requires the application of various assumptions. The main assumptions for post employment and other employee obligations include discount rates, compensation growth rates and life expectancy. &KDQJHVLQWKHDVVXPSWLRQVFRXOGJLYHULVHWRDGMXVWPHQWVLQWKHUHVXOWVDQGOLDELOLWLHVUHFRUGHGDQGPLJKWKDYHDQ LPSDFWRQWKHSRVWHPSOR\PHQWDQGRWKHUHPSOR\HHREOLJDWLRQVUHFRJQL]HGLQWKHIXWXUH

Our financing strategy ams to maintain adequate financial resources and access to additional liquidity. During 2019 cash flow provided by operating activities amounted to \$1,528 million (including a decrease in working capital of \$523 million), our capital expenditures amounted to \$350 million and we paid dividends amounting to \$484 million. At the end of the year we had a net cash position of \$980 million, compared to \$485 million at the beginning of the year.
We believe that funds from operations, the availability of liquid financial assets and our access to external borrowing through the financial markets will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, to finance our planned capital spending program, to service our debt in the future twelve months and to address short-term changes in business conditions. For more information see "Recent Developments - The COVID-19 pandemic and the oil & gas crisis and their impact on Tenaris's operations and financial condition."
We have a conservative approach to the management of our liquidity, which consists of (i) cash and cash equivalents (cash in banks, liquidity funds and investments with a maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase), and (ii) Other Investments (fixed income securities, time deposits, and fund investments).
At December 31, 2019, liquid financial assets as a whole (comprising cash and cash equivalents and other investments) were 12% of total assets compared to 7% at the end of 2018.
We hold investments primarily in liquidity funds and variable or fixed-rate securities from investment grade issuers. We hold our cash and cash equivalents primarily in U.S. dollars and in major financial centers. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, U.S. dollar denominated liquid assets represented 95% of total liquid financial assets.
Net cash provided by operations during 2019 was \$1,528 million, compared to \$611 million during 2018. This increase was mainly attributable to a \$523 million decrease in working capital in 2018 the increase in working capital amounted to \$738 million. The annual variation was mainly attributed to a decrease of \$428 million in trade receivables, compared with an increase of \$518 million in 2018. Additionally, during 2019 inventories decreased \$311 million which compares with an increase in inventory of \$176 million in 2018. For more information on cash flow disclosures and changes to working capital, see note 28 "Cash flow disclosures" to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.
Net cash used in investing activities was \$40 million in 2019, compared to a net cash provided by investing activities of \$399 million in 2018. We reduced our financial investments by \$390 million in 2019 compared to a reduction of \$717 million in 2018. Additionally, during 2019 we spent \$133 million in acquisition of subsidiaries.
Net cash used in financing activities, including dividends paid, proceeds and repayments of borrowings and acquisitions of non-controlling interests, was \$354 million in 2019, compared to \$900 million in 2018.
During 2019 we had net proceeds from borrowings of \$174 million, while in 2018 we had net repayments of borrowings of \$413 million.
Dividends paid during 2019 and 2018 amounted to \$484 million in each year.
Our total liabilities to total assets ratio was 0.18:1 as of December 31, 2019 and 0.17:1 as of December 31, 2018.
During 2019, we funded our operations with operating cash financing and available liquid financial assets. Short-term bank borrowings were used as needed throughout the year.
During 2019 borrowings increased by \$283 million at December 31, 2019, from \$539 million at December 31, 2018.
Borrowings consist mainly of bank loans. As of December 31, 2019, U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings plus borrowings denominated in other currencies swapped to the U.S. dollar represented 89% of total borrowings.
For further information about our financial debt, please see note 19 "Borrowings" to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.
The following table shows the composition of our financial debt at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017:

| Bank borrowings | 822 | 537 | 966 |
| Bank overdrafts | |||
| Total borrowings | 822 | 539 | 966 |
Our weighted average interest rates before tax (considering hedge accounting), amounted to 3.18% at December 31, 2019 and to 3.98% at December 31, 2018.

As of December 31, 2019, Tenaris was in compliance with all of its significant borrowings, including financial covenants on leverage ratio.
The multinational nature of our operations and customer base expose us to a variety of risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. In order to reduce the impact related to these exposures, management evaluates exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural exposure netting. For the residual exposures, we may enter into various derivative transactions in order to reduce potential adverse effects on our financial performance. Such derivative transactions are executed in accordance with internal policies and hedging practices. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, other than non-material investments in structured products.
The following information should be read together with section III, "Financial risk management" to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

(1) As most borrowings are based on short-term fixed rates that approximate market rates, with interest rate resetting every 3 to 6 months, the fair value of the borrowings approximates its carrying amount and is not disclosed separately.
Our weighted average interest rates before tax (considering hedge accounting), amounted to 3.18% at December 31, 2019 and to 3.98% at December 31, 2018.
Our financial liabilities (other than trade payables and derivative financial instruments) consist mainly of bank loans. As of December 31, 2019, U.S. dollar denominated financial debt plus debt denominated in other currencies swapped to the U.S. dollar represented 89% of total financial debt.
For further information about our financial debt, please see note 19 "Borrowings" to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.
Fluctuations in market interest rates create a degree of risk by affecting the amount of our interest payments. At December 31, 2019, we had variable interest rate debt of \$54 million and fixed rate debt of \$768 million (\$728 million of the fixed rate debt are short-term).
We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries throughout the world and consequently we are exposed to foreign exchange rate risk. Since the Company's functional currency is the U.S. dollar, the purpose of our foreign currency hedging program is mainly to reduce the risk caused by changes in the exchange rates of other currencies against the U.S. dollar.
Most of our revenues are determined or influenced by the U.S. dollar. In addition, a relevant part of our costs corresponds to steelmaking raw materials and steel coils and plates, also determined or influenced by the U.S. dollar. However, outside the United States, a portion of our expenses is incurred in foreign currencies (e.g. labor costs). Therefore, when the U.S. dollar weakens in relation to the foreign currencies of the countries where we manufacture our products, the U.S. dollar-reported expenses increase. Had the U.S. dollar average exchange rate been weaker by 5% against the currencies of the countries where we have labor costs, operating income would have decreased approximately by \$49 million in 2019, compared with \$50 million in 2018.
Our consolidated exposure to currency fluctuations is reviewed on a periodic basis. A number of hedging transactions are performed in order to achieve an efficient coverage in the absence of operative or natural hedges. Almost all of these transactions are forward exchange rate contracts.
Because certain subsidiaries have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the results of hedging activities as reported in the income statement under IFRS may not reflect entirely management's assessment of its foreign exchange risk hedging needs. Also, intercompany balances between our subsidiaries may generate exchange rate results to the extent that their functional currencies differ.
The value of our financial assets and liabilities is subject to changes arising out of the variation of foreign currency exchange rates. The following table provides a breakdown of our main financial assets and liabilities (including foreign exchange derivative contracts) that impact our profit and loss as of December 31, 2019.
| All amounts in millions of U.S. aothers | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Currency Exposure | Functional currency | Long / (Short) Position | |
| Argentine Peso | U.S. dollar | (96) | |
| Huro | U.S. dollar | (104) | |
| Saudi Arabian Riyal | U.S. dollar | (108) |
The main relevant exposures as of December 31, 2019 were to Argentine peso-denominated financial, trade, social and fiscal payables at our Argentine subsidiaries, for which the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, Euro-denominated intercompany liabilities at certain subsidiaries for which functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and Saudi Arabian Riyal-denominated financial and trade payables. The Saudi Arabian Riyal is tied to the US dollar.
The net fair value of our foreign currency derivative contracts amounted to an asset of \$18.1 million at December 31, 2019 and a liability of \$2.8 million at December 31, 2018. For further detail on our foreign currency derivative contracts, please see note 24 "Derivative financial instruments -Foreign exchange derivative contracts and hedge accounting" to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.
Derivative financial instruments are classified as financial assets (or liabilities) at fair value through profit or loss. Their fair value is calculated using standard pricing techniques and, as a general rule, we recognize the full amount related to the change in its fair value under financial results in the current period.
We designate for hedge accounting certain derivatives and non-derivative financial liabilities denominated in Japanese Yen) to hedge risks associated with recognized assets, liabilities or highly probable forecast transactions. These instruments are classified as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the fair value of such derivatives is accumulated in a reserve account in equity. Similarly, the effective portion of the foreign exchange result on the designated leasing liability is recognized in equity. Amounts accumulated in
equity are then recognized in the income statement in the same period when the offsetting losses and gains on the hedged item are recorded. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement. The fair value of our derivative financial instruments (assets or liabilities) continues to be reflected on the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability is recognized on the balance sheet at each period end at the exchange rate as of the end of each month.
At December 31, 2019, the effective portion of designated cash flow hedges, included in other reserves in shareholders' equity amounted to a credit of \$2.6 million.
There is no significant concentration of credit from customer comprised more than 10% of our net sales in 2019.
Our credit policies related to sales of products and services are designed to identify customers with acceptable credit history, and to allow us to use credit insurance, letters of credit and other instruments designed to minimize credit risk whenever deemed necessary. We maintain allowances for potential credit losses.
We use commodities and raw materials that are subject to price volatility caused by supply conditions, political and economic variables and other unpredictable factors. As a consequence, we are exposed to risk resulting from fluctuations in the prices of these commodities and raw materials. Although we fix the prices of such raw materials and commodities for short-term periods, typically not in excess of one year, in general we do not hedge this risk.
Sales to the oil and gas industry worldwide represent a high percentage of our total sales, and demand for steel pipes from the global oil and gas industry is a significant factor affecting the general level of volumes and prices for our products. Downward pressures on oil and gas prices usually result in lower oil and gas drilling activity and investment throughout the oil and gas industry with consequently lower demand for our steel pipe products and, in some circumstances, upward pressures can result in higher demand from our oil and gas customers.
Whereas oil prices are similar in most parts of the world because oil is a fully tradable commodity, gas prices are influenced by regional factors. In North America, where gas production is extensively developed and there is an extensive regional pipeline system, these factors include available gas storage capacity and seasonal weather patterns, particularly winter temperatures in the United States. LNG prices were traditionally established in relation to international oil prices, particularly in the largest LNG markets in Asia. However, as the market for LNG becomes more global and the USA becomes a relevant source of LNG, LNG prices are now being set increasingly in relation to gas prices prevailing at regional gas hubs.
International oil prices depend on diverse factors. On the supply side, major oil-and-gas-producing nations and companies have frequently collaborated to balance the supply (and thus the price) of oil in the international markets. A major vehicle for this collaboration has been OPEC. Many of our customers are state-owned companies in member countries of OPEC. Another factor that has affected the international price level of oil is the political and socioeconomic conditions of oil-producing countries, such as Libya, Nigeria and Venezuela and the persistence of geo-political and armed conflicts affecting the Middle East region, which is home to a substantial proportion of the world's known oil reserves. On the demand side, economic conditions and the level of oil inventories in the leading industrial nations of the world, and more recently China, which constitute the largest oil consuming nations, also play a significant role in oil prices.
A more recent factor affecting oil and gas prices has been the ability of producers in the United States and Canada to rapidly increase production from their reserves of tight oil and shale gas in response to changes in market conditions. Production from U.S. tight oil reserves has grown in recent years to represent around 10% of global liquids production, and production from shale gas plays is converting the United States into a net exporter of natural gas and a significant player in the LNG market.
Following three years of relatively stable oil prices of around \$100 per barrel, prices started to decline in the middle of 2014 as the rate of U.S. production increase began to exceed the increase in global demand and OPEC confirmed at its November 2014 meeting that it would not cut production to balance demand. As a consequence, prices reached levels below \$30 per barrel in January 2016. Prices then recovered to around \$80 per barrel during 2018 once OPEC and other producers agreed to cut production levels to accelerate the market rebalancing process. By this time, OPEC and other producers had lifted their production cuts and U.S. oil production was increasing at a rate greater than the increase in global demand. Oil prices declined 40% in the fourth quarter of 2018 before partially recovering in 2019. In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected global oil demand. In addition, agreements between OPEC member countries and other producers (principally Russia) to cut production levels fell apart. Consequently, oil prices have collapsed to historically low levels.
The 2014 collapse in oil prices led oil and gas operators to substantially reduce their exploration and production investments to a level which is currently around 60% of the average of the 2012-14 period and this, in turn, resulted in a severe contraction in demand and pressure on pricing for steel pipes used in oil and gas drilling and associated operations. During 2017, however, oil and gas operators in North America, who have been very successful in reducing production costs in their shale plays, increased investments in response to more favorable market conditions, and U.S. operators continued to do so in 2018. However, in 2019 and during the first quarter of 2020, operators have been reducing investment in the shales as they reacted to financial market pressures in order to achieve positive cash flow returns. With the collapse of oil prices in March 2020 and continuing financial market pressures, we are likely to see further substantial reductions in their investments.
Since the development of the Marcellus shale gas play, North American gas prices have remained at low levels compared to previous decades. Over the past three years, average prices have fluctuated in the range of \$2.00-3.00 per million BTU, significantly below prices in many other major gas-consuming regions. For several years, production increases, primarily from productive shale gas deposits, have exceeded demand increases, reducing the need for imports, to the extent that, in 2017, the U.S. became a net exporter of natural gas. Low prices have encouraged investment in gas consuming industrial facilities and LNG export facilities as well as switching from coal to gas for electric power production, particularly with the adoption of new regulations which could force the retirement of older coal-based generating units. With continuing investments in LNG export facilities, the U.S. has become a major global LNG exporter. More recently, North American gas prices have fallen below \$2 per million BTU as global demand growth for LNG has been affected by warmer northern hemisphere weather and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Drilling activity in the United States and Canada, following several years of high activity, fell sharply through 2015 and the first half of 2016 before beginning a recovery which ended at the end of 2018. Drilling activity declined throughout 2019 in response to a fall in oil prices at the end of 2018 and financial market pressures to produce positive cash flow returns. Despite lower prices, production levels today are higher the 2014 collapse in oil prices but rig counts are around less than 50% of the levels they reached in 2014, reflecting the strong productivity gains made by the U.S. oil and gas drilling industry. In the rest of the world, drilling activity began to decline in the second half of 2014, continued to decline during 2015, 2016 and 2017 before beginning a gradual recovery in the second half of 2018. Although drilling activity in the Middle East has remained relatively stable, drilling in Latin America and offshore drilling declined significantly, but began to recover in 2019, although drilling in Argentina declined sharply in the last quarter of 2019, in response to uncertainty about the policies that the new Argentine government in respect of investments in the Vaca Muerta shale resource.
Prior to the 2014 downturn in oil prices, a growing proportion and production spending by oil and gas companies had been directed at offshore, deep drilling and non-conventional drilling operations in which high-value tubular products, including special steel grades and premium connections, are usually specified. The success, however, of shale drilling operators, with their investment cycles, in adapting to lower oil and gas costs and increasing production, led to a slowdown in new developments of complex offshore projects with long investment lead times in a context of low and more volatile oil prices, consequently affecting the level of product differentiation.
In addition, the increasing cost competitiveness and use of alternative renewable sources of energy could limit growth in demand for oil and gas and put downward pressure on oil and gas prices in the longer term. This trend could accelerate if carbon taxes or carbon pricing instruments resulting in high prices for carbon emissions are implemented around the world.

Tenaris is from time to time subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, including customer, employee, tax and environmental-related claims, in which third parties are seeking payment for alleged damages, reimbursement for losses, or indemnity. Management with the assistance of legal counsel periodically reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses potential financial exposure.
Some of these claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings involve highly complex issues, and often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of loss and an estimation of damages are difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, with respect to a large portion of such claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, Tenaris is unable to make a reliable estimate of the expected financial effect that will result from ultimate resolution of the proceeding. In those cases, Tenaris has not accrued a provision for the potential outcome of these cases.
If a potential loss from a claim, lawsuit or other proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a provision is recorded. Accruals for loss contingencies reflect a reasonable estimate of the losses to be incurred based on information available to management as of the date of preparation of the consolidated financial statements and take into consideration and settlement strategies. In a limited number of ongoing cases, Tenaris was able to make a reliable estimate of the expected loss or range of probable loss and has accrued a provision for such loss but believes that publication of this information on a case-by-case basis would seriously prejudice Tenaris's position in the ongoing legal proceedings or in any related settlement discussions. Accordingly, in these cases, the Company has disclosed information with respect to the nature of the contingency but has not disclosed its estimate of the range of potential loss.
The Company believes that the aggregate provisions recorded for potential losses in its consolidated financial statements (see notes 22 "Non-current allowances and provisions" and 23 "Current allowances and provisions" to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report) are adequate based upon currently available information. However, if management's estimates prove incorrect, current reserves could be inadequate and Tenaris could incur a charge to earnings which could have a material adverse effect on Tenaris's results of operations, financial condition, net worth and cash flows.
Below is a summary description of Tenaris's material legal proceedings for the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition, Tenaris is subject to other legal proceedings, none of which is believed to be material.
Confab Industrial S.A. ("Confab"), a Brazilian subsidiary of the Company, is one of the defendants in a lawsuit filed in Brazil by Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional ("CSN") and various entities affiliated with CSN against Confab and several Ternium subsidiaries that acquired a participation in Usiminas' control group in January 2012.
The CSN lawsuit alleges that, under applicable Brazilian laws and rules, the acquirers were required to launch a tag-along tender offer to all non-controlling holders of Usiminas' ordinary shares for a price per share equal to 80% of the price per share paid in such acquisition, or BRL28.8, and seeks an order to compel the acquirers to launch an offer at that price plus interest. If so ordered, the offer would need to 182,609,851 ordinary shares of Usiminas not belonging to Usiminas' control group, and Confab would have a 17.9% share in that offer.
On September 23, 2013, the first instance court dismissed the CSN lawsuit, and on February 8, 2017, the court of appeals maintained the understanding of the first instance court. On March 6, 2017, CSN filed a motion for clarification against the decision of the Court of Appeals of São Paulo, which was rejected on July 19, 2017. On August 18, 2017, CSN filed an appeal to the Superior Court of Justice seeking the review and reversal of the decision issued by the Court of Appeals. On March 5, 2018, the court of appeals ruled that CSN's appeal did not meet the requirements for submission to the Superior Court of Justice and rejected the appeal. On May 8, 2018, CSN appealed against such ruling and on January 22, 2019, the court of appeals rejected it and ordered that the case be submitted to the Superior Court of Justice. On September 10, 2019, the Superior Court of Justice declared CSN's appeal admissible. The Superior Court of Justice will review the case and then render a decision
on the merits. The Superior Court of Justice is restricted to the analysis of alleged violations to federal laws and cannot assess matters of fact.
Tenaris continues to believe that all of CSN's claims and allegations are groundless and without merit, as confirmed by several opinions of Brazilian legal counsel, two decisions issued by the Brazilian securities regulator (CVM) in February 2012 and December 2016, and the first and second instance court decisions referred to above.
On September 21, 2007, an accident occurred in the premises of Veracel Celulose S.A. ("Veracel") in connection with a rupture in one of the tanks used in an evaporation system manufactured by Confab. The Veracel accident allegedly resulted in material damages to Veracel. Itaú Seguros S.A. ("Itau"), Veracel's insurer at the time of the Veracel accident and then replaced by Chubb Seguros Brasil S/A ("Chubb"), initiated a lawsuit against Confab seeking reimbursement of damages paid to Veracel in connection with the Veracel accident. Veracel initiated a second lawsuit against Confab seeking reimbursement of the amount paid as insurance deductible with respect to the Veracel accident and other amounts not covered by insurance. Itaú and Veracel claimed that the Veracel accident was caused by failures and defects attributable to the evaporation system manufactured by Confab. Confab believes that the Veracel accident was caused by the improper handling by Veracel's personnel of the equipment supplied by Confab in violation of Confab's instructions. The two lawsuits were consolidated and are considered by the 6th Civil Court of São Caetano do Sul; however, each lawsuit will be adjudicated separately.
On September 28, 2018 Confab and Chubb, entered into a settlement pursuant to which on October 9, 2018, Confab paid an amount of approximately \$3.5 million to Chubb, without assuming any liability for the accident or the claim.
On October 10, 2018, Confab was notified that the court had issued rulings for both lawsuits. Both decisions were unfavorable to Confab:
The Company is aware that Brazilian, Italian and Swiss authorities have been investigating whether certain payments were made from accounts of entities presumably associated with affiliates of the Company to accounts allegedly linked to individuals related to Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. ("Petrobras") and whether any such payments were intended to benefit the Company's Brazilian subsidiary Confab. Any such payments could violate certain applicable laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
The Company had previously reviewed certain of these matters in connection with an investigation by the Brazilian authorities related to "Operation Lava Jato", a new phase of which is presently ongoing, and did not uncover any information that corroborated allegations of involvement in these alleged payments by the Company or its subsidiaries. Furthermore, the Company became aware that a Petrobras internal investigation reviewed FHUWDLQFRQWUDFWVZLWK&RQIDEDQGFRQFOXGHGWKDWWKH\KDGQRWIRXQGHYLGHQFHWKDW3HWUREUDVKDGEHQHILWWHG&RQIDE RUKDGPLVXVHGDSSOLFDEOHORFDOFRQWHQWUXOHV

On January 2, 2020, Tenaris acquired 100% of the shares of IPSCO Tubulars, Inc. ("IPSCO"), a U.S. manufacturer of steel pipes, from PAO TMK ("TMK"). The acquisition price was determined on a cash-free, debt-free basis, and the amount paid in cash at the closing, following contractual adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and certain other items as estimated by the seller as of the closing date, was \$1,067 million. The final acquisition price is subject to a contractual true-up adjustment based on actual amounts of cash, indebtedness, working capital and certain other items as of the closing date. On March 16, 2020, Tenaris delivered, for TMK's review, a closing statement prepared in accordance with the acquisition agreement, including Tenaris's calculation of the closing price based on actual amounts of cash, indebtedness, working capital and certain other items as of the closing date. In case of disagreement, the parties are expected to engage in good-faith negotiations to solve any discrepancies. If the parties cannot resolve the disputed amounts, the discrepancies must be submitted to and resolved by an independent accounting firm.
IPSCO's facilities are located mainly in the midwestern and northeastern regions of the country. IPSCO's steel shop in Koppel, Pennsylvania, is Tenaris's first in the United States, providing vertical integration through domestic production of a relevant part of its steel bar needs. The Ambridge, Pennsylvania, mill adds a second seamless manufacturing facility and complements Tenaris's seamless plant in Bay City, Texas. Given the abrupt and steep decline in market demand, however, all of IPSCO's facilities are currently closed until market conditions improve.
In connection with the closing of the transaction, subsidiaries of Tenaris and TMK entered into a 6-year master distribution agreement (the "MDA") whereby, effective on January 2, 2020, Tenaris became the exclusive distributor of TMK's OCTG and line pipe products in the United States and Canada. At the end of the MDA's 6-years term, TMK will have the option to extend the duration of the MDA for an additional 12-month period. Under the MDA, Tenaris is required to purchase minimum annual volumes of TMK-manufactured OCTG and line pipe products, based on the aggregate market demand for the relevant product category in the United States in the relevant year. As of March 31, 2020, Tenaris's commitment under the MDA totaled approximately \$512 million. In light of the adverse scenario of declining oil and gas prices and unprecedented oversupply in the oil market Tenaris and TMK are engaging in good faith discussions to try and identify mutually satisfactory accommodations under the MDA to minimize the negative impact of the crisis on both parties.
b) Fair value of net assets acquired
The application of the purchase method requires certain estimates and assumptions, including estimates and assumptions concerning the determination of the fair values of the acquired intangible assets and property, plant and equipment as well as the liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. The fair values determined at the acquisition date are based mainly on discounted cash flows and other valuation techniques.
The preliminary purchase price allocation was carried out with the assistance of a third-party expert. Following IFRS 3, the Company will continue reviewing the allocation and make any necessary adjustments (mainly over property, plant and equipment, intangible assets) during the twelve months following the acquisition date.
The preliminary allocation of the fair values determined for the assets and liabilities arising from the acquisition is as follows:
| Fair value of acquired assets and liabilities: | \$ million |
|---|---|
| Property, Plant and Equipment | 506 |
| Intangible assets | 170 |
| Working capital | 144 |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | 4 |
| Other assets | 46 |
| Borrowings | (23) |
| Provisions | (27) |
| Other liabilities | (77) |
| Deferred tax liabilities | (3) |
| Net assets acquired | 710 |
Tenaris acquired total assets and liabilities shown above, for approximately \$1,067 million. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recognized goodwill for approximately \$357 million. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The goodwill generated by the acquisition is mainly attributable to the synergy created following the integration between Tenaris and IPSCO, which is expected to enhance Tenaris's position as well as its local manufacturing presence in the U.S. market, and also expand its product range and services capabilities. The goodwill has been allocated to the Tubes segment. After the conclusion of the preliminary purchase price allocation determination and as a consequence of the unprecedented decline in oil prices and other changes in circumstances, the management has decided to impair the goodwill mentioned above.
Acquisition-related costs of \$9.7 million were included in general and administrative expenses (\$9.4 and \$0.3 in 2019 and 2020 respectively). For contingent liabilities related to the acquisition see "Oustanding Legal Proceedings".
For more information on impairment testing, see "Critical Accounting Estimates - Impairment and recoverability of goodwill and other assets".
A novel strain of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) surfaced in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread to the rest of the world in early 2020. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a global pandemic. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, countries have taken different measures in relation to prevention and containment. For example, several countries introduced bans on business activities or locked down cities including countries where Tenaris has operations (such as Argentina, China, Colombia, Italy, Mexico and the United States). The rapid expansion of the virus and the measures taken to contain it have triggered a severe fall in global economic activity and a serious crisis in the energy sector.
While the extent of the effects of COVID-19 on the global economy and oil demand were still unclear, in March 2020, the members of OPEC+ (OPEC plus other major oil producers including Russia) did not agree to extend their agreement to cut oil production and Saudi Arabia precipitated a wave of additional supply on the market triggering a collapse in oil prices below \$30 per barrel. This exacerbated what soon became clear was an unprecedented situation of oversupply, caused primarily by the sudden and dramatic fall in oil consumption consequent to the measures taken to contain the spread of the virus around the world. Although OPEC+ subsequently reached an equally unprecedented agreement to cut production by as much as 9.7 million barrels per day, a situation of acute oversupply remains, causing oil prices to hit record lows. By the end of trading on April 20, 2020, the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) forward price for delivery in May, which had to be closed out the following day, fell to a negative value for the first time in history, as oil storage facilities were completely committed, and producers were forced to pay buyers to take their barrels. It is not known how long it will take for oil and gas demand to recover or achieve a more balanced position between supply and demand. As a result, prices are expected to remain at low levels for an extended period. In these circumstances, most of our customers have announced, or are making, significant cuts to their investment plans and are likely to announce further cuts. Similarly, several of our suppliers are closing, either temporarily or permanently, some of their facilities, which may result in unavailability or increased prices for our raw materials and other inputs.
We are adjusting our operations on a country-by-country basis to comply with applicable rules and requirements and adapt to this new, rapidly evolving scenario. As of the date of this is the status of our facilities:
. In China, we are again fully operational, after several weeks of interruption and an extraordinary combined effort of our people and of our community.
In Italy, production was greatly reduced; although our Dalmine facility was used exclusively for the manufacturing of oxygen tanks to aid local hospitals and health centers for a limited period of time, currently the facility is gradually resuming normal operations. In Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and Saudi Arabia, Tenaris decreased its activity following the imposition of mandatory lockdowns, and our plants in these countries are
currently operating at reduced levels. Although the lockdowns or restrictions to operate in these countries are expected to end or be relaxed in the next few weeks, these could be extended and/or made more stringent if so decided by the appropriate authorities as the circumstances could require.
In the United States, our facilities in Koppel and Ambridge (PA), Brookfield (OH), Blytheville (AR), Wilder (KY), and Odessa and Baytown (TX), have been or will be temporarily closed until market conditions improve. In addition, Tenaris is in the process of performing employee reductions and adjusting production levels at its other facilities in line with market demand.
In order to safeguard the health and safety of its employees, customers and suppliers, Tenaris has taken preventive measures, including remote working for the majority of white collar employees, restricting onsite access to essential operational personnel levels at a minimum, implementing a special operations protocol to ensure social distancing and providing medical assistance and supplies to onsite employees. As of the date of this annual report, remote work arrangements have not materially adversely affected Tenaris's ability to conduct operations. In addition, these alternative working arrangements have not adversely affected our financial reporting systems, internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures.
Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the future spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the unprecedented extent of the oversupply on the oil market and the timing and extent of any recovery in demand, it is not possible at this time to predict the full magnitude of the adverse effects that these two circumstances will have on our industry generally, nor to reasonably estimate the impact on Tenaris's results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Without limiting the generality of the risks described in "Principal risks and uncertainties-Risks Relating to our Industry', the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing oil & gas crisis poses the following main risks and challenges to Tenaris:
Global oil or gas demand may fail to recover or even decrease further in the future, driving down prices even more or keeping them at very low levels, which would exert downward pressure on sales and margins of oil and gas companies, leading to further reductions and even generalized suspension of drilling activities (in the U.S. or elsewhere) and, as a result, materially adversely affecting our sales and financial position.
Tenaris or its employees, contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners may be prevented from conducting certain business activities for a prolonged or indefinite period of time. In addition, employees in some or all of our facilities, or those of our contracts, suppliers, customers or other business partners, may refuse to work due to health concerns while the COVID-19 outbreak is ongoing, If that happens, the continuity of our future operations may be severely affected.
· A continuing spread of COVID-19 may affect the availability and price of raw materials, energy and other inputs used by Tenaris in its operations. Any such disruption or increased prices could adversely affect Tenaris's profitability.
In order to mitigate the impact of expected lower sales, Tenaris is working on a worldwide rightsizing program and cost containment plan aimed at preserving its financial resources and overall liquidity position and maintaining the continuity of its operations. The actions include:
· Adjusting the level of our operations and workforce around the world, including through the temporary closure of certain U.S. facilities or production lines, as indicated above;
· Introducing efficiency and productivity improvements throughout Tenaris's industrial system;
Downsizing our fixed cost structure, including through pay reductions for senior management and board members, aggregating estimated total annual savings of approximately \$220 million by year-end;
Reducing capital expenditures and R&D expenses for approximately \$150 million when compared to 2019 levels;
. Reducing working capital, especially inventories, in accordance with the expected levels of activity; and
Increasing our focus on managing customer credit conditions. .
As part of these liquidity preservation initiatives, the board of directors resolved to propose, for approval by the Annual Shareholders Meeting to be held on June 2, 2020, that no further dividends be distributed in respect of fiscal year 2019 on top of the interim dividend of approximately \$153 million already paid in November 2019.
As of the date of this annual report, our capital and financial resources, and overall liquidity position, have not been materially affected by this new scenario. Tenaris has in place non-committed credit facilities and management believes it has adequate access to the credit markets. In addition, Tenaris has a net cash position of approximately \$271 million as of the end of March 2020 and a manageable debt amortization schedule. Considering our financial position and the funds provided by operating activities, management believes that we have sufficient resources to satisfy our current working capital needs, service our debt and address short-term changes in business conditions. For more information on liquidity and capital resources, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Principal Sources of Funding".
In accordance with IFRS, management must test for impairment all of Tenaris's assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Assets subject to testing include goodwill, intangible assets, investments in non-consolidated companies, long-lived assets and right-ofuse assets. In addition, management must test goodwill for impairment at least once a year whether or not there are indicators of impairment.
As a result of the severe deterioration of business conditions and in light of the presence of impairment indicators for its U.S. operations, Tenaris recorded impairment charges as of March 31, 2020, in the carrying values of goodwill and other asset values at the cash-generating units OCTG USA (Maverick), IPSCO, Rods USA and Coiled Tubing, for an aggregate amount of approximately \$622 million.
Management does not expect to disclose or incur in any material COVID-19-related contingency, and it considers its allowance for doubtful accounts sufficient to cover risks that could arise from credits with customers in accordance with IFRS 9.
Our seamless pipe manufacturing facility in Asia, operated by NKKTubes, is located in Kawasaki, Japan, in the Keihin steel complex owned by JFE. Steel bars and other essential inputs and services for NKKTubes are supplied under a long-term agreement by JFE, which retains a 49% interest in NKKTubes. On March 27, 2020, JFE informed Tenaris of its decision to permanently cease, as from JFE's fiscal year ending March 2024, the operations of certain of its steel manufacturing facilities and other facilities located at the Keihin complex. The closure of JFE's Keihin facilities may result in the unavailability of steel bars and other essential inputs or services used in NKKTubes' manufacturing process, thereby affecting its operations. Tenaris and JFE have agreed to engage in discussions to seek mutually acceptable solutions.
On April 29, 2020, the Company's board of directors resolved to propose, for approval by the annual shareholders meeting to be held on June 2, 2020, that no further dividends be distributed in respect of fiscal year 2019 beyond the interim dividend of approximately \$153 million already paid in November 2019. For a discussion of the rationale behind the dividend proposal, see "Recent Developments - The COVID-19 pandemic and the oil & gas crisis and their impact on Tenaris's operations and financial condition."

Board members Monti, Serra Puche, Speeckaert, Tiuba and Vázquez qualify as independent directors for purposes of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(b)(1), and board members Messrs. Monti, Serra Puche, Speeckaert and Vázquez also qualify as independent directors under the Company's articles
of association. If appointed by the next annual general meeting of shareholders, Mr. Ayat would also qualify as independent director for purposes of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act Rule 10A-3(b)(1) and under the Company's articles of association.
Each director must act in the interest of the Company, and in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and the Company's articles of association. Directors are also bound by a general duty of care owed to the Company.
Under the Luxembourg Company Law, directors may be liable to the Company in accordance with the general law for the execution of their mandate and for any misconduct in the management of the Company's affairs. Directors are jointly and severally liable towards either the Company or any third parties from damages resulting from the violation of the Luxembourg Company Law or the Company's articles of association. Directors shall be discharged from such liability in the case of a violation to which they were not a party provided no misconduct is attributable to them and such violation has been reported to the first general meeting of shareholders after they have acquired knowledge thereof.
Causes of action against directors for damages may be initiated by the Company upon a resolution of the general shareholders' meeting passed by a simple majority vote, irrespective of the number of shares represented at the meeting. Causes of action against directors who misappropriate assets or commit a breach of trust may be brought by any shareholder for personal losses different from those of the Company.
An action may also be brought against the directors on behalf of the Company by shareholders who, at the general meeting which decided upon discharge of such directors or members, owned voting securities representing at least ten per cent of the votes attaching to all such securities.
It is customary in Luxembourg that the shareholders expressly discharge the members of the board of directors from any liability arising out of or in connection with the exercise of their mandate when approving the annual accounts of the Company at the annual general shareholders meeting. However, any such discharge will not release the directors from liability for any damage caused by unrevealed acts of mismanagement or unrevealed breaches of the Luxembourg Company Law or the Company's articles of association, nor will it release the directors from liability for any personal loss of the shareholders independent and separate from the losses suffered by the Company due to a breach either revealed of either the Luxembourg Company Law or the Company's articles of association.
Under Luxembourg law, unless the decision of the board of directors relates to ordinary business entered into under normal conditions, any director having a direct or indirect financial interest conflicting with that of the Company in a transaction which has to be considered by the board of directors, must advise the board thereof and cause a record of her/his statement to be included in the minutes of the meeting and may not take part in the deliberations. At the next following general meeting, before any other resolution is put to vote, a special report must be made on any transactions in which any of the directors may have had an interest conflicting with that of the Company.
Pursuant to the Company's articles of association, as supplemented by the audit committee's charter, for as long as the Company's shares are listed on at least one regulated market, the Company must have an audit committee composed of three members, the majority of whom must qualify as independent directors, provided, however, that the composition and membership of the audit committee shall satisfy such requirements as are applicable to, and mandatory for, audit committees of issuers such as the Company under any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company (including, without limitation, the applicable laws, rules and regulations of such regulated market or markets).
Under the Company's articles of association, an independent director is a director who:

Tenaris financed the construction of Techgen's Pesquería project primarily in the form of subordinated loans to Techgen. Outstanding principal amount of loans to Techgen as of December 31, 2019 amounted to \$58 million, as of December 31, 2018 amounted to \$99 million, and as of December 31, 2017 amounted to \$93 million. These loans generated interest gains in an amount of \$4 million in 2019, \$5 million in 2018 and \$4 million in 2017.
We entered into various contracts with Tenova (and subsidiaries), a company controlled by San Faustin, for the provision of furnaces, spare parts, accessories and related services for our facilities. Supplies received amounted to \$2 million in 2019, \$9 million in 2018 and \$3 million in 2017.
In addition, in the ordinary course of business, from time to time, we carry out other transactions and enter into other arrangements with other related parties, none of which are considered to be material.
Subject to applicable law, all shares (including shares underlying ADSs) are entitled to participate equally in dividends when, as and if declared by the shareholders at the annual general shareholders' meeting, out of funds legally available for such purposes.
The Company does not have, and has no current plans to establish, a formal dividend policy governing the amount and payment of dividends or other distributions. Dividends may be lawfully declared and paid if the Company's profits and distributable reserves are sufficient under Luxembourg law. The amount and payment of dividends must be determined by a majority vote at a general shareholders' meeting, generally, but not necessarily, based on the recommendation of the Company's board of directors. Under Article 21 of the Company's articles of association, the board of directors has the power to distribute interim dividends out of profits, share premium or any other available reserves, in accordance with applicable law, but payment of such dividends must be finally approved by the Company's general shareholders' meeting.
As provided by Article 21 of the Company's articles of association, dividends or other distributions declared by the general meeting as well as interim dividends or other distributions declared by the board of directors will be distributed at the times and places determined by the board of directors. The Company will make any and all dividend payments and any other distributions in respect of shares registered in the name of any securities settlement system or operator of such a system or in the name of any financial institution or other professional depositary of securities or any other depositary, whether in cash, shares or other assets, only to such registered holder, or otherwise in accordance with such registered holder's instructions, and, as provided by Article 21 of the Company's articles of association, that payment shall release the Company from any and all obligations for such payment.
The Company conducts and will continue to conduct its operations through subsidiaries and, accordingly, its main source of cash to pay dividends, among other possible sources, will be the dividends received from its subsidiaries. See "Principal Risks and Uncertainties – Risks Relating to the Structure of the Company – As a holding company, the Company's ability to pay cash dividends depends on the results of operations and financial condition of its subsidiaries and could be restricted by legal, contractual or other limitations".
Under Luxembourg law, claims for dividends will lapse in favor of the Company five years after the date such dividends are declared. However, the Company may elect to pay a declared dividend after such period. Declared and unpaid dividends held by the Company for the account of its shareholders do not bear interest.
Pursuant to Luxembourg law, at least 5% of the Company's net profits per year must be allocated to the creation of a legal reserve until such reserve has reached an amount equal to 10% of our share capital. If the legal reserve later falls below the 10% threshold, at least 5% (or such lower amount required to reach the 10% threshold) of net profits again must be allocated toward the reserve. As of December 31, 2019, the Company's legal reserve represented 10% of its share capital. The legal reserve is not available for distribution.
The following table shows the dividends approved by the Company's shareholders in the last five years:

On April 29, 2020 the board of directors announced the proposals to be submitted to the consideration of the Annual General Shareholders' meeting, including its proposal on dividends. For more information, see "Recent Developments - Annual Dividend Proposal".

The non-audit services that we have provided to the Company and its controlled undertakings, if applicable, for the year ended 31 December 2019, are disclosed in Note 31 to the consolidated financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Key audit matter | How our audit addressed the Key audit matter |
|---|---|
| Recoverability of long-lived assets |
The Group's balance sheet includes goodwill (1,320 million USD) and other long lived assets (6,090 million USD Property, plant & equipment and USD 241 million of Intangible assets). The Group is required to test the amount of goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets for impairment at least annually. Other long-lived assets are tested in case of impairment triggers. During the year, Management has tested for impairment those cash generating units ("CGUs") containing goodwill and indefinite life intangibles and those where impairment indicators were identified.
We focused our audit effort on the U. S. seamless and welded tubes businesses (Bay City and Maverick CGUs) due to their significance, the level of headroom observed between the carrying amount and the recoverable value and the lack of extensive past history over Bay City performance. The impairment test was important to our audit as it involved significant judgements and assumptions in the assessment of the recoverable amounts of the CGUs and required significant audit effort.
Due to the conditions described above, Management prepared 3 scenarios for both Maverick and Bay City CGUs to determine their recoverable amounts.
The disclosures related to this matter are included in Notes II.G, 9 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements.
We evaluated and tested controls in place over the analysis of impairment indicators on long lived assets, review of assumptions used and discounted cash flow calculations.
In addition, we challenged the impairment indicators analysis memorandum and the cash flow projections included in the impairment test prepared by Management. Our audit procedures included, among others, the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist us in evaluating certain assumptions and the valuation methodology used by the Group.
We furthermore assessed the reasonableness of other data used by:
We also compared actual cash flow results with previous forecasts.
We finally assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements

The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information comprises the information stated in the annual report including the consolidated management report and the Corporate Governance Statement but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our audit report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs as issued by the IASB and in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the EU Regulation No 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as issued by the IAASB and as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the EU Regulation No 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as issued by the IAASB and as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate to them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our audit report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.
The consolidated management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
The Corporate Governance Statement is included in the consolidated management report. The information required by Article 68ter Paragraph (1) Letters c) and d) of the Law of 19 December 2002 on the commercial and companies register and on the accounting records and annual accounts of undertakings, as amended, is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
We have been appointed as "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agrée" of the General Meeting of the Shareholders on 6 May 2019 and the duration of our uninterrupted engagement, including previous renewals and reappointments, is 18 years.

In connection with the execution of the New SHA, Confab and the Ternium entities amended and restated their separate shareholders' agreement governing their respective rights and obligations as members of the T/T Group to include provisions relating to the exit mechanism and generally to conform such separate shareholders' agreement to the other provisions of the New SHA. The rights of Confab and Ternium and its subsidiaries within the Ternium - Tenaris Group are governed under such amended and restated separate shareholders agreement. Those circumstances evidence that Tenaris has significant influence over Usiminas, and consequently, accounted it for under the equity method (as defined by IAS 28).
Techgen S.A. de C.V. ("Techgen") is a Mexican joint venture company owned 48% by Ternium, 30% by Tecpetrol International S.A. and 22% by Tenaris. Techgen operates a natural gas-fired combined electric power plant in the Pesquería area of the State of Nuevo Leon, México. Tenaris, Ternium and Tecpetrol International S.A. are parties to a shareholders' agreement relating to the governance of Techgen. In addition, the Company, Ternium and Tecpetrol International S.A. are under the indirect common control of San Faustin S.A., consequently Tenaris accounted it's interest under the equity method (as defined by IAS 28).
Tenaris carries its investment in Ternium, Usiminas and Techgen under the equity method, with no additional goodwill or intangible assets recognized. Tenaris reviews investments in non-consolidated companies for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. At December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, no impairment provisions were recorded in any of the aforementioned investments. See Note 12.
The Company is organized in one major business segment, Tubes, which is also the reportable operating segment.
The Tubes segment includes the production and sale of both seamless and welded steel tubular products and related services mainly for the oil and gas industry, particularly oil country tubular goods (OCTG) used in drilling operations, and for other industrial applications with processes that consist in the transformation of steel into tubular products. Business activities included in this segment are mainly dependent on the oil and gas industry worldwide, as this industry is a major consumer of steel pipe products, particularly OCTG used in drilling activities. Demand for steel pipe products from the oil and gas industry has historically been volatile and depends primarily upon the number of oil and natural gas wells being drilled, completed, and the depth and drilling conditions of these wells. Sales are generally made to end users, with exports being done through a centrally managed global distribution network and domestic sales are made through local subsidiaries. Corporate general and administrative expenses have been allocated to the Tubes segment.
Others includes all other business activities and operating segments that are not required to be separately reported, including the production and selling of sucker rods, industrial equipment, coiled tubing, utility conduits for buildings, heat exchangers, energy and raw materials that exceed internal requirements.
Tenaris's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CEO) holds monthly meetings with senior management, in which operating and financial performation is reviewed, including financial information that differs from IFRS principally as follows:
Tenaris presents its geographical information in five areas: North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific. For purposes of reporting geographical information, net sales are allocated to geographical areas based on the customer's location of assets, capital expenditures and associated depreciations and amortizations are based on the geographical location of the assets.

The multinational nature of Tenaris's operations and customer base exposes the Company to a variety of risks, mainly related to market risks (including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates), credit risk and capital market risk. In order to manage the volatility related to these exposures, management evaluates exposures on a consolidated basis, taking advantage of exposure netting. The Company or its subsidiaries may then enter into various derivative transactions in order to prevent potential adverse impacts on Tenaris's financial performance. Such derivative transactions are executed in accordance with internal policies and hedging practices.
Tenaris seeks to maintain a low debt to total equity ratio considering the industry and the markets where it operates. The year-end ratio of debt to total equity (where "debt" comprises financial borrowings and "total equity" is the sum of financial borrowings and equity) is 0.06 as of December 31, 2019 and 0.04 as of December 31, 2018. The Company does not have to comply with regulatory capital adequacy requirements.
Tenaris manufactures and sells its products in a number of countries throughout the world and consequently is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk. Since the Company's functional currency is the U.S. dollar the purpose of Tenaris's foreign currency hedging program is mainly to reduce the risk caused by changes in the exchange rates of other currencies against the U.S. dollar.
Tenaris's exposure to currency fluctuations is reviewed on a periodic consolidated basis. A number of derivative transactions are performed in order to achieve an efficient coverage in the absence of operative or natural hedges. Almost all of these transactions are forward exchange rates contracts. See Note 24.
Tenaris does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, other than non-material investments in structured products.
In the case of subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the results of hedging activities, reported in accordance with IFRS, may not reflect entirely the management's assessment of its foreign exchange risk hedging program. Intercompany balances between Tenaris's subsidiaries may generate financial gains (losses) to the extent that functional currencies differ.
The value of Tenaris's financial assets and liabilities is subject to changes arising from the variation of foreign currency exchange rates. The following table provides a breakdown of Tenaris's main financial assets and liabilities (including foreign exchange derivative contracts) which impact the Company's profit and loss as of December 31, 2019 and 2018:
| All amounts Long / (Short) in thousands of U.S. dollars | As of December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| Currency Exposure / Functional currency | 2019 | 2018 |
| Argentine Peso / U.S. Dollar | (95,811) | (186,867) |
| Furo / U.S. Dollar | (103,518) | (175,419) |
| Saudi Arabian Riyal / U. S. Dollar | (107,582) |
The main relevant exposures correspond to:
Argentine Peso / U.S. dollar
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 consisting primarily of Argentine Peso-denominated financial, trade, social and fiscal payables at certain Argentine subsidiaries whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar. A change of 1% in the ARS/USD exchange rate would have generated a pre-tax gain / loss of \$1.0 million and \$1.9 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively.

Transactions between segments, which were eliminated in consolidation, are mainly related to sales of scrap, energy, surplus raw materials and others from the Other segment to the Tubes segment for \$36, \$52 and \$53 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
There are no material differences between total reportable segments' revenues and the entity's revenue under IFRS.
The main differences between operating income under IFRS view and the management view are mainly related to the cost of goods sold and other timing differences. See Section II. A. C. Segment Information.
In addition to the amounts reconciled above, the main differences in net income arise from the impact of functional currencies on financial result, deferred income taxes as well as the result of investment in non-consolidated companies and changes on the valuation of inventories according to cost estimation internally defined.

Techgen is a Mexican company that operates a natural gas-fired combined cycle electric power plant in the Pesquería area of the State of Nuevo León, Mexico. The company started producing energy on December 1, 2016, with a power capacity of 900 megawatts. As of December 31, 2019, Tenaris held 22% of Techgen's share capital, and its affiliates, Ternium and Tecpetrol International S.A. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of San Faustin S.A., the controlling shareholder of both Tenaris and Ternium), held 48% and 30% respectively.
Techgen is a party to transportation capacity agreements for a purchasing capacity of 150,000 MMBtu/Gas per day starting on August 1, 2016 and ending on July 31, 2036, and a party to a contract for the purchase of power generation equipment and other services related to the equipment. As of December 31, 2019, Tenaris's exposure under these agreements amounted to \$51.9 million and \$0.9 million respectively. Furthermore, during 2018, Techgen entered a contract for the purchase of clean energy certificates. As of December 31, 2019 Tenaris's exposure under this agreement amounted to \$18.2 million.
During 2019, Techgen repaid certain subordinated loans to Techgen's sponsors; the part corresponding to Tenaris amounted to \$40.5 million. As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate outstanding principal amount under these subordinated loans was \$58.1 million.
On February 13, 2019, Techgen entered into a \$640 million syndicated loan agreement with several banks to refinance an existing loan, resulting in the release of certain corporate guarantee issued by Techgen's shareholders to secure the replaced facility.
Techgen's obligations under the current facility, which is "non-recourse" on the sponsors, are guaranteed by a Mexican security trust covering Techgen's shares, assets and accounts as well as Techgen's affiliates rights under certain contracts. In addition, Techgen's collection and payment accounts not subject to the trust have been pledged in favor of the lenders under the new loan agreement, and certain direct agreements -customary for these type of transactions- have been entered into with third parties and affiliates, including in connection with the agreements for the sale of energy produced by the project and the agreements for the provision of gas and long-term maintenance services to Techgen. The commercial terms and conditions governing the purchase, by the Company's Mexican subsidiary Tamsa, of 22% of the energy generated by the project remain unchanged.
Under the loan agreement, Techgen is committed to maintain a debt service reserve account covering debt service becoming due during two consecutive quarters; such account is funded by stand-by letters of credit issued for the account of Techgen's sponsors in proportion to their respective participations in Techgen. Accordingly, the Company and its Swiss subsidiary, Tenaris Investments Switzerland AG, applied for stand-by letters of credit covering 22% of the debt service coverage ratio, which as of the date hereof amounts to \$9.8 million.

In May 2009, within the framework of Decree Law 6058, Venezuela's President announced the nationalization of, among other companies, the Company's majority-owned subsidiaries TAVSA - Tubos de Acero de Venezuela S.A. ("Tavsa") and, Materiales Siderúrgicos S.A ("Matesi"), and Complejo Siderúrgico de Guayana, C.A ("Comsigua"), in which the Company has a non-controlling interest (collectively, the "Venezuelan Companies"). Tenaris and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Talta - Trading e Marketing Sociedad Unipessoal Lda ("Talta"), initiated arbitration proceedings against Venezuela before the ICSID in Washington D.C. in connection with these nationalizations.
On January 29, 2016, the tribunal released its award on the arbitration proceeding concerning the nationalization of Matesi. The award upheld Tenaris's and Talta's claim that Venezuela had expropriated their investments in Matesi in violation of Venezuelan law as well as the bilateral investment treaties entered into by Venezuela with the Belgium-Luxembourg Economic Union and Portugal. The award granted compensation in the amount of \$87.3 million for the breaches and ordered Venezuela to pay an additional amount of \$85.5 million in pre-award interest, aggregating to a total award of \$172.8 million, payable in full and net of any applicable Venezuelan tax, duty or charge. The tribunal granted Venezuela a grace period of six months from the date of the award to make payment in full of the amount due without incurring post-award interest, and resolved that if no, or no full, payment is made by then, post-award interest will apply at the rate of 9% per annum compounded at six-monthly rests from the date of the award until payment in full. As of December 31, 2019, post-award interest amounted to \$71 million.
On March 14, 2016, Venezuela requested the rectification of the award pursuant to article 49(2) of the ICSID Convention and ICSID Arbitration Rule 49. The tribunal denied Venezuela's request on June 24, 2016, ordering Venezuela to reimburse Tenaris and Talta for their costs incurred in connection with the rectification proceedings. On September 21, 2016, Venezuela submitted a request for annulment of the award as well as the stay of enforcement of the award in accordance with the ICSID Convention and Arbitration Rules. On March 24, 2017, an ad hoc committee constituted to decide on Venezuela's requests rendered its decision to lift the stay of enforcement of the award. On August 8, 2018, the ad hoc committee rejected Venezuela's application to annul the award.
On June 8, 2018, Tenaris and Talta filed an action in the District of Columbia to recognize and enforce the award. Tenaris and Talta have effected service on Venezuela in accordance with US law, and Venezuela has failed to file an answer in the proceeding. Tenaris and Talta have moved for default judgment. Venezuela did not oppose the entry of default judgment. Accordingly, it is expected that the award will be converted into a judgment. The judgment, however, may not be enforced in the U.S. to the extent prohibited by the Venezuelan sanctions regulations issued by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control.
On December 12, 2016. the tribunal issued its award upholding Tenaris's and Talta's claim that Venezuela had expropriated their investments in Tavsa and Comsigua in violation of the bilateral investment into by Venezuela with the Belgium-Luxembourg Economic Union and Portugal. The award granted compensation in the amount of \$137 million and ordered Venezuela to reimburse Tenaris and Talta \$3.3 million in legal fees and ICSID administrative costs. In addition, Venezuela was ordered to pay interest from April 30, 2008 until the day of effective payment at a rate equivalent to LIBOR + 4% per annum, which as of December 31, 2019 amounted to approximately \$118 million.
On April 11, 2017, Venezuela submitted a request for annulment of the award as well as the stay of enforcement of the award in accordance with the ICSID Convention and Arbitration Rules. On February 23, 2018, an ad hoc committee constituted to decide on Venezuela's requests rendered its decision to lift the stay of enforcement of the award. On December 28, 2018, the ad hoc committee rejected Venezuela's application to annul the award.

Acquisition of IPSCO Tubulars, Inc. (Cont.)
(ii) Purchase Price Allocation (Cont.)
The goodwill generated by the acquisition is mainly attributable to the synergy created following the integration between Tenaris and IPSCO, which is expected to enhance Tenaris's position as well as its local manufacturing presence in the U.S. market, and also expand its product range and services capabilities. The goodwill has been allocated to the Tubes segment. After the conclusion of the preliminary purchase price allocation determination and as a consequence of the unprecedented decline in oil prices and other changes in circumstances, the management has decided to impair the goodwill mentioned above.
Following IFRS 3, the Company will continue reviewing the allocation and make any necessary adjustments (mainly over property, plant and equipment and intangible assets) during the twelve months following the acquisition date.
Acquisition-related costs of \$9.7 million were included in general and administrative expenses (\$9.4 million and \$ 0.3 million in 2019 and 2020 respectively).
(iii)
Given the abrupt and steep decline in market demand, the facilities in Koppel and Ambridge (PA), Brookfield (OH), Blytheville (AR), Wilder (KY), and Odessa and Baytown (TX), were temporarily closed until market conditions improve.
As a result of the severe deterioration of business conditions and in light of the presence of impairment indicators for its U.S. operations, Tenaris recorded impairment charges as at March 31, 2020, in the carrying values of goodwill and other asset values at the cash-generating units OCTG USA (Maverick), IPSCO, Rods USA and Coiled Tubing, for an aggregate amount of approximately \$622 million.
These Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect these impairment charges.
Our seamless pipe manufacturing facility in Asia, operated by NKKTubes, is located in Kawasaki, Japan, in the Keihin steel complex owned by JFE. Steel bars and other essential inputs and services for NKKTubes are supplied under a long-term agreement by JFE, which retains a 49% interest in NKK Tubes. On March 27, 2020, JFE informed Tenaris of its decision to permanently cease, as from JFE's fiscal year ending March 2024, the operations of certain of its steel manufacturing facilities and other facilities located at the Keihin complex. The closure of JFE's Keihin facilities may result in the unavailability of steel bars and other essential inputs or services used in NKKTubes' manufacturing process, thereby affecting its operations. Tenaris and JFE have agreed to engage in discussions to seek mutually acceptable solutions.
On April 29, 2020, the Company's board of directors resolved to propose, for approval by the annual shareholders meeting to be held on June 2, 2020, that no further dividends be distributed in respect of fiscal year 2019 beyond the interim dividend of approximately \$153 million already paid in November 2019. For a discussion of the rationale behind the dividend proposal, see "The COVID-19 pandemic and the oil & gas crisis and their impact on Tenaris's operations and financial condition" included in this note.

The non-audit services rendered by PwC Networks firms to the Company and its controlled undertakings, for the year ended 31 December 2019, are disclosed in Note 31 to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the annual accounts of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the annual accounts as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Key audit matter | How our audit addressed the Key audit matter |
|---|---|
| S.a r.l. | Recoverability of investment in Our audit approach included assessing the recoverability of subsidiary - Tenaris Investments Tenaris Investments S.à r.l. by comparing its carrying value with its net assets as obtained from Tenaris Investments S.a r.l. audited annual accounts. |
| Note 3 to the annual accounts indicates | |
| that as of 31 December 2019, Tenaris S.A. holds a 100% interest in |
|
| unlisted company Tenaris the |
|
| Investments S.à r.l. This investment | |
| represents 99.99% of the total assets of the Company. The carrying |
|
| value of the investment amounts to | |
| 17,857 million USD. | |
| We focused our audit on the recoverability of this investment given its financial significance over the total assets. |
The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information comprises the information stated in the annual report including the consolidated management report and the Corporate Governance Statement but does not include the annual accounts and our audit report thereon.
Our opinion on the annual accounts does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the annual accounts, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the annual accounts or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the annual accounts in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the annual accounts, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the annual accounts, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts as a whole are from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the EU Regulation No 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as issued by the IAASB and as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual accounts.
As part of an audit in accordance with the EU Regulation No 537/2014, the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as issued by the IAASB and as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate to them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the annual accounts of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our audit report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.
The consolidated management report is consistent with the annual accounts and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
The Corporate Governance Statement is included in the consolidated management report. The information required by Article 68ter Paragraph (1) Letters c) and d) of the Law of 19 December 2002 on the commercial and companies register and on the accounting records and annual accounts of undertakings, as amended, is consistent with the annual accounts and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
We have been appointed as "Réviseur d'Entreprises Agréé" of the Company by the General Meeting of the Shareholders on 6 May 2019 and the duration of our uninterrupted engagement, including previous renewals and reappointments, is 18 years.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these annual accounts
Tenaris S.A. (the "Company" or "Tenaris") was established on December 17, 2001 under the name of Tenaris Holding S.A. as a public limited liability company under Luxembourg's 1929 holding company regime (société anonyme holding). On June 26, 2002, the Company changed its name to Tenaris S.A. On January 1, 2011, the Company became an ordinary public limited liability company (société anonyme).
Tenaris's object is to invest mainly in companies that manufacture and market steel tubes and other related businesses.
The financial year starts on January 1 and ends on December 31 of each year.
Tenaris prepares and publishes consolidated financial statements which include further information on Tenaris and its subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements are available at the registered office of the Company, 26, Boulevard Royal - 4th floor, L-2449, Luxembourg, Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg.
These annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulrements under the historical cost convention.
Accounting policies and valuation rules are, besides the ones laid down by the law of 19 December 2002, determined and applied by the Board of Directors.
The preparation of these annual accounts requres management to make certain accounting estimates and assumptions that might affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting dates, and the reported amounts of income and charges during the reporting years. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Current and non-current assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the United States Dollar ("USD") are translated into USD at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Non-current assets remain at the exchange rate on the day of incorporation. The resulting gains or losses are reflected in the Profit and loss account for the financial year. Income and expenses in currencies other than the USD are translated into USD at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of each transaction.
Shares in affiliated undertakings are valued at purchase or contribution price including the expenses incidental thereto. Loans to affiliated undertakings are stated at nominal value.
Whenever necessary, the Company conducts impairment tests on its financial assets in accordance with Luxembourg regulations.
In case of other than a temporary decline in respect of the financial assets value, its carrying value will be reduced to recognize this decline. If there is a change in the reasons for which the value adjustments were made, these adjustments could be reversed, if appropriate.
Debtors are valued at their nominal value. They are subject to value adjustments where their recovery is compromised. These value adjustments are not continued if the reasons for which the value adjustments were made have ceased to apply.
Cash at bank and in hand mainly comprise cash at bank and liquidity funds. Assets recorded in cash at bank and in hand are carried at fair market value or at historical cost which approximates fair market value.
Creditors are stated at nominal value.
Tenaris holds 100% of the shares of Tenaris S.à r.l. ("Tenaris Investments") with registered office in Luxembourg and holds, indirectly through this wholly-owned subsidiary, 100% of the shares of Confab Industrial S.A., Inversiones Lucerna Limitada, Maverick Tube Corporation, Siderca S.A.I.C., Talta - Trading e Marketing, Sociedade Unipessoal Lda., Tenaris Switzerland AG, Algoma Tubes Inc., Siderca International ApS, S.C. Silcotub S.A., Management Solutions Services Inc., Tenaris (NL) B.V. and Tenaris Connections B.V., 50% of the shares of Exiros B.V. and 11.5% of the shares of Ternium S.A.

On December 7, 2010, Tenaris entered into a master credit agreement with Tenaris pursuant to which, upon request from Tenaris, Tenaris Investments may, but shall not be required to, from time to time make loans to Tenaris. Any loan under the master credit agreement may be repaid from time to time through a reduction of the capital of Tenaris Investments by an amount equivalent to the loan then outstanding (including accrued interest). As a result of reductions in the capital of Tenaris made during the financial year ended December 31, 2019, in connection with cancellations of loans to Tenaris, the value of the participation of Tenaris in Tenaris Investments decreased by USD520.2 million.
As of December 31, 2019 Tenaris Investments reported an equity of USD18.5 billion and a loss for the financial year of USD1.5 billion.
The authorized capital of the Company amounts to USD2.5 billion. The total authorized share capital of the Company is represented by 2,500,000,000 shares with a par value of USD1 per share. The total capital issued and fully paid-up at December 31, 2019 was 1,180,536,830 shares with a par value of USD1 per share.
The board of directors is authorized until June 5, 2020, to increase the issued share capital, through issues of shares within the limits of the authorized capital.
Following the completion of the corporate reorganization, and upon its conversion into an ordinary Luxembourg holding company, the Company recorded a special reserve for tax purposes in a significant amount. The Company expects that, as a result of its corporate reorganization, its current overall tax burden will not increase, as all or substantially all of its dividend income will come from high income tax jurisdictions.
During 2019 the Company paid dividends for an amount of USD484 million; this amount includes the interim dividend paid on November 20, 2019 of USD153.5 million.
In accordance with Luxembourg law, the Company is required to set aside a minimum of 5% of its annual net profit for each financial year to a legal reserve. This requirement ceases to be necessary once the legal reserve has reached 10% of the issued share capital. The Company's reserve has already reached this 10%. If the legal reserve later falls below the 10% threshold, at least 5% of net profits must be allocated again toward the reserve. The legal reserve is not available for distribution to the shareholders.
Dividends may be paid by Tenaris upon the ordinary shareholders' meeting approval to the extent distributable retained earnings exist.
At December 31, 2019, profit brought forward after deduction of the interim dividend for the financial year of Tenaris under Luxembourg law totaled approximately USD15.9 billion.
The share premium amounting to USD0.6 billion can also be reimbursed.
In November 2019, the Company paid an interim dividend of USD153.5 million based on the board of directors' decision of October 30, 2019 and in compliance with the conditions set out in the "Amended law of August 10, 1915 on commercial companies" regarding the payment of interim dividends.

Based on the information most recently available to the Company, Tenaris's directors and senior management as a group owned 0.08% of the Company's outstanding shares.
Following the Company's November 27, 2018 announcement that its Chairman and CEO Paolo Rocca had been included in an Argentine court investigation known as the Notebooks Case (a decision subsequently reversed by a higher court), two putative class action complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. On April 29, 2019, the court consolidated the complaints into a single case, captioned "In re Tenaris S.A. Securities Litigation", and appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel. On July 19, 2019, the lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint purportedly on behalf of purchasers of Tenaris securities during the putative class period of May 1, 2014 through December 5, 2018. The individual defendants named in the complaint are Tenaris's Chairman and CEO and Tenaris's former CFO. The complaint alleges that during the class period, the Company and the individual defendants inflated the Tenaris share price by failing to disclose that sale proceeds received by Ternium (in which Tenaris held an 11.46% stake) when Sidor was expropriated by Venezuela were received or expedited as a result of allegedly improper payments made to Argentine officials. The complaint does not specify the damages that plaintiff is seeking. Defendants' motions to dismiss are expected to be decided during 2020. Management believes the Company has meritorious defenses to these claims; however, at this stage the Company cannot predict the outcome of the claim or the amount or range of loss in case of an unfavorable outcome.
The Company issued a guarantee covering the funding obligations of Techgen S.A. de C.V. ("Techgen"), a Mexican natural gas-fired combined cycle electric power plant in the Pesquería area of the State of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, under a loan agreement between Techgen and Natixis, New York Branch, as the administrative agent and collateral agent of various lenders. As of December 31, 2019 the amount guaranteed was approximately USD4.9 million
The Company issued a guarantee to cover obligations under a loan agreement entered into a Tenaris's company and Citibank. As of December 31, 2019 the amount guaranteed was approximately USD17 million.
The above mentioned events were included in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements as of March 31, 2020. These annual accounts do not reflect these circumstances.
A novel strain of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) surfaced in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread to the rest of the world in early 2020. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a global pandemic. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, countries have taken different measures in relation to prevention and containment. For example, several countries introduced bans on business activities or locked down cities or countries where Tenaris has operations (such as Argentina, China, Colombia, Italy, Mexico and the United States). The rapid expansion of the virus and the measures taken to contain it have triggered a severe fall in global economic activity and a serious crisis in the energy sector.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the oil & gas crisis and their impact on Tenaris's operations and financial condition (Cont.)
While the extent of the effects of COVID-19 on the global economy and oil demand were still unclear, in March 2020, the members of OPEC+ (OPEC plus other major oil producers including Russia) did not agree to extend their agreement to cut oil production and Saudi Arabia precipitated a wave of additional supply on the market triggering a collapse in oil prices below \$30 per barrel. This exacerbated what soon became clear was an unprecedented situation of oversupply, caused primarily by the sudden and dramatic fall in oil consumption consequent to the measures taken to contain the spread of the virus around the world. Although OPEC+ subsequently reached an equally unprecedented agreement to cut production by as much as 9.7 million barrels per day, a situation of acute oversupply remains, causing oil prices to hit record lows. By the end of trading on April 20, 2020, the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) forward price for delivery in May, which had to be closed out the following day, fell to a negative value for the first time in history, as oil storage facilities were completely committed, and producers were forced to pay buyers to take their barrels. It is not known how long it will take for oil and gas demand to recover or achieve a more balanced position between supply and demand. As a result, prices are expected to remain at low levels for an extended period. In these circumstances, most of our customers have announced, or are making, significant cuts to their investment plans and are likely to announce further cuts. Similarly, several of our suppliers are closing, either temporarily, some of their facilities, which may result in unavailability or increased prices for our raw materials and other inputs.
Status of our operations
We are adjusting our operations on a country-by-country basis to comply with applicable rules and requirements and adapt to this new, rapidly evolving scenario. As of the date of these annual accounts, this is the status of our facilities:
· In China, we are again fully operational, after several weeks of interruption and an extraordinary combined effort of our people and of our community.
· In Italy, production was greatly reduced; although our Dalmine facility was used exclusively for the manufacturing of oxygen tanks to aid local hospitals and health centers for a limited period of time, currently the facility is gradually resuming normal operations. In Argentina, Mexico and Saudi Arabia, Tenaris decreased its activity following the imposition of mandatory lockdowns, and our plants in these countries are currently operating at reduced levels. Although the lockdowns or restrictions to operate in these countries are expected to end or be relaxed in the next few weeks, these could be extended and/or made more stringent if so decided by the appropriate authorities as the circumstances could require.
In the United States, our facilities in Koppel and Ambridge (PA), Brookfield (OH), Blytheville (AR), Wilder (KY), and Odessa and Baytown (TX), have been or will be temporarily closed until market conditions improve. In addition, Tenaris is in the process of performing employee reductions and adjusting production levels at its other facilities in line with market demand.
In order to safeguard the health and safety of its employees, customers and suppliers, Tenaris has taken preventive measures, including remote working for the majority of white collar employees, restricting onsite access to essential operational personnel, keeping personnel levels at a minimum, implementing a special operations protocol to ensure social distancing and providing medical assistance and supplies to onsite employees. As of these annual accounts, remote work and other work arrangements have not materially adversely affected Tenaris's ability to conduct operations. In addition, these alternative working arrangements have not adversely affected our financial reporting systems, internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the oil & gas crisis and their impact on Tenaris's operations and financial condition (Cont.)
Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the unprecedented extent of the oversupply on the oil market and the timing and extent of any recovery in demand, it is not possible at this time to predict the full magnitude of the adverse effects that these two circumstances will have on our industry generally, nor to reasonably estimate the impact on Tenaris's results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing oil & gas crisis poses the following main risks and challenges to Tenaris:
Global oil or gas demand may fail to recover or even decrease further in the future, driving down prices even more or keeping them at very low levels, which would exert downward pressure on sales and margins of oil and gas companies, leading to further reductions and even generalized suspension of drilling activities (in the U.S. or elsewhere) and, as a result, materially adversely affecting our sales and financial position.
Tenaris or its employees, contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners may be prevented from conducting certain business activities for a prolonged or indefinite period of time. In addition, employees in some or all of our facilities, or those of our contracts, suppliers, customers or other business partners, may refuse to work due to health concerns while the COVID-19 outbreak is ongoing, If that happens, the continuity of our future operations may be severely affected.
A continuing spread of COVID-19 may affect the availability and price of raw materials, energy and other inputs used by Tenaris in its operations. Any such disruption or increased prices could adversely affect Tenaris's profitability.
In order to mitigate the impact of expected lower sales, Tenaris is working on a worldwide rightsizing program and cost containment plan aimed at preserving its financial resources and overall liquidity position and maintaining the continuity of its operations. The actions include:
As part of these liquidity preservation initiatives, the board of directors resolved to propose, for approval by the Annual Shareholders Meeting to be held on June 2, 2020, that no further dividends be distributed in respect of fiscal year 2019 on top of the interim dividend of approximately USD153 million already paid in November 2019.
As of the date of these annual accounts, our capital and financial resources, and overall liquidity position, have not been materially affected by this new scenario.
