This restatement follows the conclusion of previously disclosed discussions with the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding Staff comments relating to the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Usiminas under IFRS as of September 30, 2014 and subsequent periods. The Staff had requested information regarding Tenaris’s value in use calculations and the differences between the carrying amounts and certain other indicators of value, including the purchase price of BRL12 (approximately $4.8) per share which the Company’s affiliate Ternium S.A. (“Ternium”) paid in October 2014 for the acquisition of 51.4 million additional Usiminas ordinary shares from Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brazil – PREVI (“PREVI”), and indicated that the PREVI transaction price provided objective evidence of the value of the Usiminas investment.
As a result of these discussions, the Company has re-evaluated and revised the assumptions used to calculate the carrying value of the Usiminas investment at September 30, 2014. In calculating the value in use of the Usiminas investment initially reported at September 30, 2014, the Company had combined the assumptions used in two different projected scenarios. For the purposes of these Restated Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements, however, the Company recalculated value in use as of September 30, 2014 based primarily on the assumptions in the most conservative scenario, which includes a lower operative income, an increase in the discount rate and a decrease in the perpetuity growth rate (see Note 12). As a result, the Company recorded an impairment of $161.2 million as of September 30, 2014, reaching a carrying value for the Usiminas investment of BRL12 per share. In addition, the Company’s investment in Ternium was also adjusted to reflect the change in value of that company’s participation in Usiminas. As a result of the impairment and adjustment as of September 30, 2014, the Company did not record a further impairment or adjustment as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015.
Accordingly, the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 have been amended and restated to reduce the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in Usiminas. The restatement, which is treated as the correction of an error under accounting rules, impacts the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Condensed Interim Income Statement, the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statement of Other Comprehensive Income and the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statement of Cash Flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. No impact was recorded on the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014.

Tenaris S.A. Restated Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements – Carrying value of Usiminas investment (Cont.)
In the restated three-month period ended March 31, 2015 income and currency translation adjustment (of non-consolidated companies) have been increased by $32.9 million and $28.2 million respectively due to the lower value of the investment in Usiminas impaired as of September 30, 2014. As a result of the restatement, non-current assets have been decreased by $104.0 million compared to the $165.0 million as of December 31, 2014. As a consequence of the above adjustments, the basic and diluted earnings per share for profit attributable to the owners of the parent increased from $0.19 gain per share to $0.22 gain per share.
Following the restatement, these Restated Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 of the Company have been approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 28, 2015.
The effect of this restatement on the Company’s previously issued Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements (comprising the effects on Tenaris’s direct investment in Usiminas and on its indirect investment through Ternium) is as follows:

Accounting policies and basis of presentation
|
These Restated Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these Restated Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the audited Restated Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. These Restated Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Restated Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”) and adopted by the European Union (“EU”).
The preparation of Restated Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires 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 as of the balance sheet dates, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reported periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Material inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains (losses) on transactions between Tenaris’s subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. However, since the functional currency of some subsidiaries is its respective local currency, some financial gains (losses) arising from inter-company transactions are generated. These are included in the Restated Consolidated Condensed Interim Income Statement under Other financial results.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period and there have been no changes in the risk management department or in any risk management policies since the year ended December 31, 2014.
Whenever necessary, certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to change in presentation in current period.
None of the accounting pronouncements issued after December 31, 2014 and as of the date of these Restated Financial Statements have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or result of operations.

In the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, net income under management view amounted to $304.6 million, while under IFRS amounted to $253.9 million. In addition to the above, the main differences arise from the impact of functional currencies on financial result, income taxes as well as the result of investments in non-consolidated companies.

11 Contingencies, commitments and restrictions to the distribution of profits
Contingencies
This note should be read in conjunction with Note 25 to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Tenaris is from time to time subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, including customer claims, in which third parties are seeking payment for alleged damages, reimbursement for losses or indemnity. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings involve highly complex issues, and often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties. Accordingly, potential liability with respect to a large portion of such claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty. Management with the assistance of legal counsel periodically reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses potential financial exposure. If a potential loss from a claim, lawsuit or 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 financial statements, and take into consideration litigation and settlement strategies. The Company believes that the aggregate provisions recorded for potential losses in these financial statements 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 the results of operations, financial condition, net worth and cash flows.
Set forth below is a description of Tenaris's material ongoing legal proceedings:

Tax assessment in Italy
An Italian subsidiary of Tenaris received on December 24, 2012 a tax assessment from the Italian tax authorities related to allegedly omitted withholding tax on dividend payments made in 2007. The assessment, which was for an estimated amount of EUR282 million (approximately $303 million), comprising principal, interest and penalties, was appealed with the tax court in Milan. In February 2014, the tax court issued its decision on this tax assessment, partially reversing the assessment for 2007 and lowering the claimed amount to approximately EUR9 million (approximately $9 million), including principal, interest and penalties. On October 2, 2014, the Italian tax authorities appealed against the tax court decision on the first assessment. The hearing on this appeal will be held on May 14, 2015.

Tax assessment in Italy (Cont.)
On December 24, 2013, the Italian subsidiary received a second tax assessment from the Italian tax authorities related to allegedly omitted withholding tax on dividend payments made in 2008. This second assessment, based on the same arguments of the first assessment, is for an estimated amount, as of March 31, 2015, of EUR248 million (approximately $267 million), comprising principal, interest and penalties. On February 20, 2014, the assessment for 2008 was appealed with the tax court in Milan. The hearing on this appeal will be held on June 22, 2015.
Based on the tax court decision on the first assessment, Tenaris believes that it is not probable that the ultimate resolution of either the first or the second tax assessment will result in a material obligation.

CSN claims relating to the January 2012 acquisition of Usiminas shares
In 2013, Confab was notified of a lawsuit filed in Brazil by Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) and various entities affiliated with CSN against Confab and the other entities 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 be made 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 issued its decision finding in favor of Confab and the other defendants and dismissing the CSN lawsuit. The claimants appealed the court decision and the defendants filed their response to the appeal. It is currently expected that the court of appeals will issue its judgment on the appeal within 2015.
The Company is aware that on November 10, 2014, CSN filed a separate complaint with Brazil’s securities regulator Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM) on the same grounds and with the same purpose as the lawsuit referred to above. The CVM proceeding is underway and the Company has not yet been served with process or requested to provide its response.
Finally, on December 11, 2014, CSN filed a claim with Brazil’s antitrust regulator Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (CADE). In its claim, CSN alleges that the antitrust clearance request related to the January 2012 acquisition, which was approved by CADE without restrictions in August 2012, contained a false and deceitful description of the acquisition aimed at frustrating the minority shareholders’ right to a tag-along tender offer, and requests that CADE investigate and reopen the antitrust review of the acquisition and suspend the Company’s voting rights in Usiminas until the review is completed. On May 6, 2015, CADE rejected CSN’s claim. CSN did not appeal the decision and, on May 19, 2015 CADE formally closed the file.
Tenaris believes that all of CSN's claims and allegations are groundless and without merit, as confirmed by several opinions of Brazilian counsel and previous decisions by CVM, including a February 2012 decision determining that the above mentioned acquisition did not trigger any tender offer requirement, and, more recently, the first instance court decision on this matter first referred to above. Accordingly, no provision was recorded in these Restated Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements.

Usiminas
|
Usiminas is a Brazilian producer of high quality flat steel products used in the energy, automotive and other industries and it is Tenaris’s principal supplier of flat steel in Brazil for its pipes and industrial equipment businesses.
The Company reviews periodically the recoverability of its investment in Usiminas. To determine the recoverable value, the Company estimates the value in use of the investment by calculating the present value of the expected cash flows. There is a significant interaction among the principal assumptions made in estimating Usiminas’ cash flow projections, which include iron ore and steel prices, foreign exchange and interest rates, Brazilian GDP and steel consumption in the Brazilian market. The key assumptions used by the Company are based on external and internal sources of information, and management judgment based on past experience and expectations of future changes in the market.
Value-in-use was calculated by discounting the estimated cash flows over a six year period based on forecasts approved by management. For the subsequent years beyond the six-year period, a terminal value was calculated based on perpetuity considering a nominal growth rate of 2%. The discount rates used are based on the respective weighted average cost of capital (WACC), which is considered to be a good indicator of capital cost. The discount rate used to test the investment in Usiminas for impairment was 10.4%.
As mentioned in Note 1 (General Information), following discussions with the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company re-evaluated and revised the assumptions used to calculate the carrying value of the Usiminas investment at September 30, 2014 and, as a result, wrote down the carrying value of its investment in Usiminas by $161.2 million in 2014. In addition, the Company’s investment in Ternium was adjusted to reflect the change in value of that company’s participation in Usiminas.
At March 31, 2015, the closing price of the Usiminas’ ordinary shares as quoted on the BM&FBovespa Stock Exchange was BRL21.5 (approximately $6.7) per share, giving Tenaris’s ownership stake a market value of approximately $167.5 million (Level 1). At that date, the restated carrying value of the Usiminas investment amounted to $93.3 million.

(*) Main balances included in this level correspond to Available for sale assets related to Tenaris’s interest in the nationalized Venezuelan companies. For further detail regarding Available for sale assets, see Note 30 to the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Level 1- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2- Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 during the period.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by Tenaris is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1 and comprise primarily corporate and sovereign debt securities.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (such as certain debt securities, certificates of deposits with original maturity of more than three months, forward and interest rate derivative instruments) is determined by using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data where available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2. Tenaris values its assets and liabilities included in this level using bid prices, interest rate curves, broker quotations, current exchange rates, forward rates and implied volatilities obtained from market contributors as of the valuation date.
If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instruments are included in Level 3. Tenaris values its assets and liabilities in this level using observable market inputs and management assumptions which reflect the Company’s best estimate on how market participants would price the asset or liability at measurement date.

14 Fair Value (Cont.)
|
§
|
Estimation
|
Financial assets or liabilities classified as assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured under the framework established by the IASB accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures.
The fair values of quoted investments are generally based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active or no market is available, fair values are established using standard valuation techniques.
For the purpose of estimating the fair value of Cash and cash equivalents and Other Investments expiring in less than ninety days from the measurement date, the Company usually chooses to use the historical cost because the carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities with maturities of less than ninety days approximates to their fair value.
The fair value of all outstanding derivatives is determined using specific pricing models that include inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived from or corroborated by observable data. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is calculated as the net present value of the estimated future cash flows in each currency, based on observable yield curves, converted into U.S. dollars at the spot rate of the valuation date.
Borrowings are comprised primarily of fixed rate debt and variable rate debt with a short term portion where interest has already been fixed, they are classified under other financial liabilities and measured at their carrying amount. Tenaris estimates that the fair value of its main financial liabilities is approximately 100.1% and 100.4% of its carrying amount including interests accrued as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Tenaris estimates that a change of 100 basis points in the reference interest rates would have an estimated impact of approximately 0.4% and 0.3 % in the fair value of borrowings as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Fair values were calculated using standard valuation techniques for floating rate instruments and comparable market rates for discounting flows.
15 Subsequent event
Annual dividend approval and payment
On May 6, 2015 the Annual General Shareholders' meeting approved the payment of an annual dividend of $0.45 per share ($0.90 per ADS), or approximately $531.2 million, which includes the interim dividend of $0.15 per share ($0.30 per ADS) or approximately $177.1 million, paid on November 27, 2014. As a result, a dividend of $0.30 per share ($0.60 per ADS), or approximately $354.1 million was paid on May 20, 2015, with an ex-dividend date of May 18, 2015. These Restated Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements do not reflect this dividend payable.
