Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Profitability Turnaround: The company reported a net income of ARS 193,932 million, a significant improvement from a net loss of ARS 28,851 million in the same period of 2024. This reversal was primarily driven by gains from changes in the fair value of IRSA investment properties.
- EBITDA Decline: Despite the net income surge, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 19.0% to ARS 137,967 million compared to the prior year period.
- Equity Restatement: Management detected an error in the inflation adjustment calculation for share premiums related to warrant exercises in fiscal years 2022-2024. Financial statements were retroactively restated, recognizing a positive adjustment (gain).
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Agribusiness Outlook: The 2026 regional campaign is progressing with good weather and stable, though historically low, commodity prices. Planting increased by 5.8% to 316,000 hectares. Argentina achieved a record wheat harvest, while summer crops face weather challenges (lack of rain) with recent signs of improvement.
- Livestock: The sector continues to benefit from firm prices and strong margins due to strong international demand.
- Capital Structure: As of December 31, 2025, Eduardo Sergio Elsztain controls 35.97% of the share capital. There are 49,708,631 warrants outstanding expiring March 10, 2026. Full conversion would increase the controlling stake to 39.64%.
Investor Verification Checklist
