Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. Reports Exceptional Results for Fiscal Year 2026

Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A., a prominent player in the Argentine agricultural industry, has unveiled its financial results for the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2026. The company has demonstrated significant growth, with net earnings surging to ARS 372,280 million, up from ARS 299,635 million in the previous fiscal year. This remarkable increase underscores Cresud's robust position in the market and its ability to navigate the ever-evolving agricultural landscape.

Financial Performance Overview

The financial results highlight several key aspects:

• - Net Income: ARS 372,280 million (2026) compared to ARS 299,635 million (2025).
• - Adjusted EBITDA from Agribusiness Segments: Achieved ARS 17,812 million.
• - Urban Properties and Investments Segment: Showed a notable performance with ARS 291,055 million.

The capital raised during the fiscal year included approximately USD 256 million in notes. This move effectively reduced Cresud's average financing costs while also extending the maturity period of its obligations. Furthermore, a remarkable ARS 93,800 million in dividends was distributed, reflecting an approximate 8% dividend yield.

Growth in Agricultural Operations

The growth trajectory of Cresud is underpinned by its agricultural operations. In 2026, the company expanded its planted area to 314,000 hectares, representing a 5% increase compared to the previous year. This decision was capitalized on by favorable weather conditions (with some regional exceptions, particularly in Brazil) and rising commodity prices. As a result, record grain production exceeded one million tons, contributing significantly to the company’s revenue.

Specifically, Argentina achieved outstanding results in wheat production, bolstered by strong yields in both soybeans and corn. However, BrasilAgro faced considerable challenges primarily due to adverse weather conditions and operational hurdles in the sugarcane sector. Despite this, other crop yields aligned with projections.

Livestock and Real Estate Success

In addition to crops, Cresud has made significant strides within the livestock sector, achieving record levels of cattle production supported by investment in infrastructure and feedlots. This enhanced efficiency has yielded considerable returns in terms of pricing and margins.

Moreover, the urban properties division experienced growth as well, with record revenues contributing to an overall strong financial framework. Notably, the decision to sell 921 hectares of the Morotí farm in Paraguay for USD 1.5 million further substantiates Cresud’s diversified business approach.

Market Outlook and Future Directions

Looking forward, Cresud remains optimistic about its position in the Argentine and broader Latin American agricultural markets. As the company gears up for its FY 2026 Results Conference Call, scheduled for September 8, 2026, it invites stakeholders to engage with its ongoing developments and future growth strategies.

Such comprehensive performance metrics paint a promising picture for Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. as it continues to leverage its strengths in agricultural production and urban property investments. Stakeholders and market analysts will be keenly observing the next steps of this influential player in the agricultural sector.

In conclusion, Cresud's impressive fiscal performance reiterates its status as a leading agricultural company in Argentina, setting a benchmark for quality and operational efficiency while addressing the dynamic challenges of the industry.
