Profit surges as Cresud (NASDAQ: CRESW) trims EBITDA, raises debt and pays dividend

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Cresud reports a strong turnaround for the six months ended December 31, 2025, with net income of ARS 193,932 million versus a loss of ARS 28,851 million a year earlier, mainly from gains in the fair value of IRSA investment properties.

Adjusted EBITDA reached ARS 137,967 million, down 19.0% year over year, with ARS 15,350 million from agribusiness and ARS 132,333 million from urban properties through IRSA. Total shareholders’ equity rose to ARS 2,606,935 million. The company has 648,686,092 shares outstanding and 49,708,631 warrants expiring March 10, 2026, and paid a dividend of ARS 93,782 million, split between cash and IRSA shares.

Insights

Equity analyst – Latin American agribusiness and real estate

Large accounting profit swing driven by property revaluations, while core EBITDA softens and leverage nudges up.

Cresud’s net income of ARS 193,932 million for the first half of fiscal 2026 contrasts sharply with the prior-period loss, mostly due to higher fair-value gains at IRSA. That boosts reported earnings but depends on property valuations rather than cash operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA of ARS 137,967 million, down 19.0%, shows weaker underlying profitability despite better agricultural conditions and record wheat volumes. Urban properties via IRSA still dominate with ARS 132,333 million of EBITDA, while agribusiness contributes ARS 15,350 million, underlining the group’s reliance on its real estate arm.

Equity increased to ARS 2,606,935 million, but Cresud also issued Series L and LI notes totaling USD 117.2 million, adding debt. The ARS 93,782 million dividend, including IRSA shares, returns significant value yet also draws on resources, so future filings will clarify how leverage and cash flows evolve after these moves.

(i) Within the framework of the analysis and review of certain accounting records related to shareholders’ equity, the Company’s Management detected, as of June 30, 2025, an error in the calculation of the inflation adjustment of the share premium related to the exercise of warrants carried out during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022. As a result, the previously issued financial statements were retroactively restated with respect to the exercise of warrants, recognizing a positive adjustment (gain).

Pursuant to Article 63 Section l) 6) and 8) of the referred Regulations, we report that as of the closing date of the financial statements, the Company’s capital stock was ARS 648,742,437 (including treasury shares) whose shareholding composition is divided into 631,844,155 registered, non-endorsable ordinary shares with a par value of ARS 1 each and entitled to 1 vote each, issued and duly registered, and 16,898,282 registered, non-endorsable ordinary shares with a par value of ARS 1 each and entitled to 1 vote each, pending registration. Total shares outstanding is 648,686,092. 

The Company's market capitalization as of December 31, 2025, was approximately USD  819.4 million (64,874,243 ADS with a price per ADS of USD  12.63).

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s principal shareholder and beneficial owner is Eduardo Sergio Elsztain. Direct or indirectly,  through the vehicles Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A (IFISA) and Consultores Venture Capital Uruguay S.A.(CVCU), owns 233,323,903 shares, accounting for 35.97% of the share capital (net of treasury shares). Eduardo Sergio Elsztain is domiciled at Bolivar 108, 1st floor, Buenos Aires City Center, IFISA is a company incorporated and domiciled at Calle 8, km 17,500, Edificio Zonamérica 1, local 106, Montevideo, Uruguay and CVCU is a company incorporated and domiciled at Calle 8, km 17,500, Edificio Zonamérica 1, local 106.

In addition, we report that as of December 31, 2025, after deducting direct and indirect Eduardo Sergio Elsztain's interest through IFISA and CVCU, and the treasury shares, the remaining shareholders held 415,362,189 common, registered, non-endorsable shares of ARS 1 par value each and entitled to one vote per share, accounting for 64.03% of the issued and subscribed capital stock (substracting treasury shares).

It should be considered that in March 2021 the company increased its share capital by 90 million shares. For each subscribed share, each shareholder received at no additional cost 1 warrant, that is, 90 million warrants were issued. The warrants expire on March 10, 2026 and are listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange under the symbol “CRE3W” and on the NASDAQ under the symbol “CRESW”. As of today, the number of warrants outstanding is 49,708,631.

In the case that all warrants were converted, the number of shares issued and subscribed would increase to 725,378,232. We also inform that if the group of control were to exercise its warrants like the rest of the shareholders, its stake would increase by 54,180,612 ordinary shares, which would mean a 39.64% stake on the share capital, that is, 287,504,515 shares.

Below are the highlights for the Second Quarter of the Fiscal Year ended  December 31, 2025:

●

Net income for the first half of fiscal year 2026 reached ARS 193,932 million, compared to a loss of ARS 28,851 million in the same period of 2025. This result was mainly driven by the gain from changes in the fair value of IRSA investment properties. 

●

Adjusted EBITDA for the period totaled ARS 137,967 million, 19.0% lower than in the same period of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA from the agribusiness segments amounted to ARS 15,350 million, while the urban properties and investments business (through IRSA) contributed ARS 132,333 million.

●

The 2026 regional agricultural campaign is progressing with good weather conditions and stable international commodity prices, although still at historically low levels. We planted 316,000 hectares in the region, 5.8% more than 2025 campaign.

●

In Argentina, we achieved a record wheat harvest, while summer crops are developing under some weather-related challenges—mainly lack of rains in certain areas—although with signs of improvement in recent weeks. 

●

The livestock business continues to benefit from firm prices and strong margins, driven by stronger international demand and a domestic market aligned with this trend. 

●     During the quarter and subsequently, we issued Series L and Series LI Notes in the local market for a total amount of USD 117.2 million.

●     On November 7, 2025, we distributed a dividend of ARS 93,782 million, consisting of ARS 65,080 million in cash and ARS 28,702 million in IRSA shares (~8% dividend yield).
