NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In the notes all amounts are shown in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1
General information

Tenaris S.A. (the "Company") was established as a public limited liability company (Soci�t� Anonyme) under the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg on December 17, 2001. The Company holds, either directly or indirectly, controlling interests in various subsidiaries in the steel pipe manufacturing and distribution businesses. References in these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements to "Tenaris" refer to Tenaris S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries. A list of the principal Companys subsidiaries is included in Note 30 to the Companys audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Companys shares trade on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, the Italian Stock Exchange and the Mexican Stock Exchange; the Companys American Depositary Securities (ADS) trade on the New York Stock Exchange.

These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements were approved for issuance by the Companys board of directors on November 5, 2014.

2
Accounting policies and basis of presentation

These 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 Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, 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 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 Tenariss 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 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, 2013.

Whenever necessary, certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to change in presentation in current period.

In 2013, Argentina enacted a law that amends its Income tax law. The law includes a new 10% withholding tax on dividend distributions made by Argentine companies to foreign beneficiaries. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $45.4 million, for the deferred tax liability on reserves for future dividends at Tenariss Argentine subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2014, the balance amounted to $20.3 million.

New accounting pronouncements have been issued after December 31, 2013 and relevant for Tenaris

IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, "revenue from contracts with customers", which sets out the requirements in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and which is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when control of a good or service is transferred to the customer. IFRS 15 must be applied annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

Accounting policies and basis of presentation (Cont.)

New accounting pronouncements have been issued after December 31, 2013 and relevant for Tenaris (Cont.)

IFRS 9, Financial instruments

In July 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 9, "Financial instruments", which replaces the guidance in IAS 39. It includes requirements on the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, as well as an expected credit losses model that replaces the current incurred loss impairment model. IFRS 9 must be applied on annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

These standards are not effective for the financial year beginning January 1, 2014 and have not been early adopted.

These standards have not been endorsed by the EU.

The Company's management has not yet assessed the potential impact that the application of these standards may have on the Company's financial condition or results of operations

(*) In 2014, the company aligned the presentation of sales between Management and IFRS view.

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, net income under management view amounted to $954.9 million, while under IFRS amounted to $1.171.3 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 26 to the Companys audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

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 managements 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

A Tenaris Italian company 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 $355 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 $11 million), including principal, interest and penalties. On October 2, 2014, the Italian tax authorities appealed against the tax court decision on the first assessment.

On December 24, 2013, the company 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 September 30, 2014, of EUR248 million (approximately $312 million), comprising principal interest and penalties. On February 20, 2014, the assessment for 2008 was appealed with the tax court in Milan.

Based on the tax court decision on the first assessment, Tenaris believes that it is not probable that the ultimate resolution of the second tax assessment will result in a material obligation.

��
Companhia Sider�rgica Nacional (CSN) - Lawsuit

In 2013, Confab was notified of a lawsuit filed in Brazil by Companhia Sider�rgica Nacional (CSN) and various entities affiliated with CSN against Confab and the other entities acquiring Usiminas shares in the January 2012 transaction.

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 Usiminass control group, and Confab would have a 17.9% share in the offer.

On September 23, 2013, the first instance court issued its decision finding in favour 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 expected that the court of appeals will issue its judgment on the appeal within two years of the date hereof. Tenaris believes that CSN's allegations are groundless and without merit, as confirmed by several opinions of Brazilian counsel and previous decisions by Brazil's securities regulator Comiss�o de Valores Mobili�rios, 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 referred to above. Accordingly, no provision was recorded in these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements.

11 Contingencies, commitments and restrictions to the distribution of profits (Cont.)
Commitments

Set forth is a description of Tenariss main outstanding commitments:

� �
A Tenaris company is a party to a contract with Nucor Corporation under which it is committed to purchase on a monthly basis a minimum volume of hot-rolled steel coils at prices that are negotiated annually by reference to prices to comparable Nucor customers. The contract became effective in May 2013 and will be in force until December 2017; provided, however, that either party may terminate the contract at any time after January 1, 2015 with 12-month prior notice. As of September 30, 2014, the estimated aggregate contract amount through December 31, 2015, calculated at current prices, is approximately $339 million.

� �
A Tenaris company entered into a contract with Siderar, a subsidiary of Ternium S.A. (Ternium) for the supply of steam generated at the power generation facility that Tenaris owns in the compound of the Ramallo facility of Siderar. Under this contract, Tenaris is required to provide to Siderar 250 tn/hour of steam through to 2018, and Siderar has the obligation to take or pay this volume. The amount of this gas supply agreement totals approximately $56 million.

� �
A Tenaris company, entered into various contracts with suppliers pursuant to which it committed to purchase goods and services for a total amount of approximately $490 million related to the investment plan to�expand Tenariss US operations with the construction of a state-of-the-art seamless pipe mill in Bay City, Texas.�

Usiminas

At September 30, 2014, the closing price of the Usiminas ordinary shares as quoted on the BM&FBovespa Stock Exchange was BRL6.64 (approximately $2.71) per share, giving Tenariss ownership stake a market value of approximately $67.7 million. At September 30, 2014, the carrying value of Tenariss ownership stake in Usiminas, was approximately $283.6 million. This amount includes goodwill and other tangible and intangible assets allocated in the purchase price for $42.0 million and $66.6 million, respectively.

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.

Many of the above mentioned drivers of Usiminas recoverable value estimation showed a high degree of volatility during the third quarter of 2014 and as of the release of these financial statements. Brazils recently held presidential elections were one of the main causes of this volatility, as the runners-up to Brazils presidency were perceived as having significantly different economic policy views, creating a high level of uncertainty regarding the countrys future macro-economic environment.

Since the��acquisition of its investment in Usiminas and up to September 30, 2014, Tenaris reduced the carrying value of the investment by 44% through impairment charges, currency translation adjustments (CTA) due to the devaluation of the Brazilian currency against the US dollar and the results of the company. In the third quarter of 2014, the value of the investment in Usiminas declined by $33.7 million, mainly through CTA.

Under this volatile and uncertain environment, the Company reviewed its value in use calculation with the information currently available and based on the long term potential and prospects of Usiminas, and determined no need for an impairment charge. Nevertheless, during the following months, Tenaris will closely follow the newly elected Brazilian governments changes to economic policy, if any, together with the Brazilian Real exchange rate expectations, and will evaluate their impact in the drivers of Usiminas recoverable value. These matters could lead to further reductions in the carrying value of Tenaris investment in Usiminas, either through CTA or impairment charges.

Investment in Power Plant - Techgen, S.A. de C.V. (Techgen)
�
Following the execution of an August 2013 memorandum of understanding for the construction and operation of a natural gas-fired combined cycle electric power plant in the Pesquer�a area of the State of Nuevo Le�n, Mexico, as of February 2014, Tenaris, Ternium and Tecpetrol International S.A. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of San Faustin S.A., the controlling shareholder of both Tenaris and Ternium) completed their initial investments in Techgen, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican project company owned 48% by Ternium, 30% by Tecpetrol and 22% by Tenaris.�Tenaris and Ternium also agreed to enter into power supply and transportation agreements with Techgen, pursuant to which Ternium and Tenaris will contract 78% and 22%, respectively, of Techgens power capacity of between 850 and 900 megawatts.

Tenaris is acting as a guarantor on different agreements and contracts entered by Techgen in relation with:

� �
Gas transportation capacity starting on June 1, 2016 and ending on May 31, 2036, for which Tenaris has provided a guarantee in connection with these agreements of $63 million, corresponding to the 22% of the outstanding value as of September 30, 2014.

� �

(*) Main balances included in this level correspond to Available for sale assets related to Tenariss interest in the nationalized Venezuelan companies. For further detail regarding Available for sale assets, see Note 31 to the Companys audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

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 arms 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.

�
�
�
14�����������Fair Value (Cont.)

� �
Measurement (Cont.)

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 Companys best estimate on how market participants would price the asset or liability at measurement date.

� �
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 99.9% and 100.8% of its carrying amount including interests accrued as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Tenaris estimates that a change of 100 basis points in the reference interest rates would have an estimated impact of approximately 0.3% and 0.2% in the fair value of borrowings as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Fair values were calculated using standard valuation techniques for floating rate instruments and comparable market rates for discounting flows.
