IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. Reports First Quarter Results for Fiscal Year 2027

On November 4, 2026, IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. (NYSE: IRS; BYMA: IRSA), Argentina's leading real estate company, disclosed its financial outcomes for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2027, concluding on September 30, 2026. This quarter, while marked by setbacks, showcases the company's resilience and strategic progress amid economic fluctuations.

Financial Highlights

The financial report reveals notable changes compared to the same quarter last year. The company faced a net loss of ARS 6,380 million, a stark contrast to a profit of ARS 217,952 million recorded in the previous fiscal year. This downturn primarily stems from substantial losses related to the changes in the fair value of investment properties.

Despite this setback, the Adjusted EBITDA from rental segments remained relatively stable at ARS 83,933 million, which is 2.0% lower than the previous year's figures. On a broader scope, the total Adjusted EBITDA saw an increase of 9.3%, boosted by advancements in the Sales and Developments segment. Notably, revenues from shopping malls and their adjusted EBITDA rose in line with inflation, showcasing business adaptiveness even as tenants' sales declined by 6.1% in real terms compared to the same period last year.

Strategic Developments

In terms of expansion and strategic initiatives, IRSA has prominently moved forward with its real estate projects. During the quarter and following it, the company entered into land swap agreements for three additional plots at Ramblas del Plata, amounting to USD 19.5 million, while also advancing infrastructure developments. Construction is underway for the Oeste Outlet and Distrito Diagonal shopping centers, which are expected to amplify IRSA's mall portfolio to a total of 19 assets scheduled to open in FY2027.

Moreover, the occupancy rate of their premium office portfolio stood at an impressive 96.9%, although it did represent a slight drop due to one floor becoming vacant within the Dot Building. Rental rates per square meter have remained consistently stable.

Shareholder Returns

On October 22, 2026, the shareholders convened and agreed upon the distribution of a cash dividend totaling ARS 211,000 million, which reflects a robust dividend yield of 10.8%. Payments commenced on November 3, 2026, underscoring IRSA's commitment to returning value to its shareholders despite current challenges.

Looking Ahead

As IRSA looks to the future, the market capitalization as of September 30, 2026, was approximately USD 1,178 million, with stock prices at USD 13.92 per Global Depositary Share (GDS). The company is poised to provide additional insights during its upcoming fiscal results conference set for November 5, 2026, where management will elaborate on these results and future strategies.
