Roberto Lorato, CEO said, “I am pleased to see these improved results with positive Net Income and rising EBITDA.  Commodity prices appear to have recovered, although gas demand remains weak. Our operational and safety performance remain strong, though the pandemic is clearly not over and we must maintain our strict health protocols.”
