Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA from rental segments reached ARS 232,327 million in the first nine months of 2026"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Other comprehensive income financial
"Other comprehensive income for the fiscal year ( Nine month period) | (31,848) | (102,218)"
Other comprehensive income is a section of a company’s financial statements that records gains and losses not shown in the regular profit-and-loss line, such as paper gains or losses on certain investments, pension plan adjustments, and changes from converting foreign operations. These items don’t represent cash earned or spent today but change a company’s reported net worth, like value swings in things stored in a closet rather than money in your wallet, and help investors spot hidden strengths or risks to long-term financial health.
Non-controlling interest financial
"Non-controlling interest | 88,829 | (18,420)"
Non-controlling interest represents the portion of ownership in a company held by investors who do not have a controlling stake, meaning they do not have enough voting power to make major decisions. It is similar to owning a minority share of a business partner’s company—while they benefit from profits, they cannot control how the company is run. This matters to investors because it shows how much of the company's value is owned by outside shareholders and affects overall financial reporting.
Treasury shares financial
"Treasury shares | 2 | 7 Comprehensive adjustment of capital stock and of treasury shares"
Treasury shares are a company’s own stock that it has repurchased and keeps on its books instead of canceling or leaving in the hands of outside investors. Think of them like coupons a business puts back in a drawer: they don’t vote or receive dividends while held, but they can be reissued later for employee pay or fundraising. For investors this matters because buybacks change the number of shares that count toward earnings and ownership, can boost per‑share metrics, and use corporate cash that might otherwise go to growth or dividends.
Market capitalization financial
"The Company's market capitalization as of March 31, 2026, was approximately USD 902.2 million"
Market capitalization is the total market value of a company’s outstanding shares, calculated by multiplying the current share price by the number of shares issued. It gives a quick snapshot of a company’s size and how investors value it, influencing perceived risk, index membership, and roughly how much it might cost to buy the whole company — like using a sticker price to compare the relative size and price of different houses.
