Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Profitability Surge: Net income increased by 415.6% year-over-year (YoY), driven primarily by a significant reversal in fair value adjustments on investment properties (gain of ARS 30,231 million vs. a loss of ARS 188,173 million in the prior period) and a gain on net monetary position due to inflation adjustments.
- Revenue Growth: Total revenues rose 4.2% YoY to ARS 464,366 million. The Shopping Malls segment contributed ARS 260,299 million (+2.4%), while the Hotels segment grew 6.0% to ARS 68,883 million.
- Segment Performance:
- Shopping Malls: Tenant sales decreased 8.7% in real terms, though occupancy remained high at 97.8%. Adjusted EBITDA increased 2.0% to ARS 199,993 million.
- Offices: Revenues increased 13.6% to ARS 21,071 million with 100% occupancy in premium (A+) assets. Adjusted EBITDA rose 14.8% to ARS 16,523 million.
- Hotels: EBITDA surged 37.4% to ARS 15,811 million despite a challenging inbound tourism environment.
- Sales & Developments: Recorded an operating loss of ARS 57,609 million, improved from a loss of ARS 346,415 million in the prior period, largely due to reduced unrealized fair value losses.
- Liquidity and Debt: Cash and cash equivalents decreased significantly by ARS 166,705 million (75%) due to heavy investing activities (net cash used of ARS 270,673 million) and dividend payments. Total borrowings increased to ARS 896,857 million, including a new USD 180 million Series XXIV note issuance in December 2025.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Outlook: Management expects a gradual recovery in tenant sales driven by economic liberalization and the entry of new international brands. The office segment anticipates sustained demand for premium spaces. The hotel segment sees signs of recovery in inbound tourism.
- Strategic Initiatives: Continued expansion of the shopping mall portfolio, development of the "Ramblas del Plata" project, and the construction of a new corporate building for Mercado Libre integrated with the Zetta building.
- Risks and Contingencies:
- Legal: Ongoing litigation with IDBD Development Corporation Ltd. for NIS 140 million. A provision has been recorded, and the case is in the evidentiary stage.
- Macroeconomic: Continued exposure to Argentina's hyperinflationary environment (IAS 29) and exchange rate volatility, which significantly impacts fair value measurements and financial results.
- Operational: Tenant sales in shopping malls remain under pressure in real terms, though occupancy is stable.
- Dividends: A cash dividend of ARS 205,141 million (restated) was declared and distributed in November 2025.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Hyperinflation Accounting: Verify the impact of IAS 29 restatements on the comparability of financial results, particularly the "Gain on net monetary position" and fair value adjustments.
- Debt Structure: Confirm the terms and maturity profile of the new Series XXIV notes (USD 180 million, 8.00% fixed rate, maturing 2035) and the total net debt position of approximately USD 284.3 million.
- Asset Valuation: Review the assumptions used for the fair value adjustment of investment properties, which swung from a massive loss in 2025 to a significant gain in 2026, driven by discount rate changes and exchange rate estimates.
- Related Party Transactions: Note the significant balances and transactions with the parent company (Cresud) and associates (e.g., Banco Hipotecario S.A.), including derivative financial instruments and loans.
- Capital Structure Changes: Verify the completion of the capital increase and warrant exercises that increased the share count to 810,797,120 common shares.
