Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A announces results for the six-month period of FY 2020 ended December 31, 2019

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. (NASDAQ: CRESY, BYMA: CRES), leading Argentine agricultural company,  today announces results for the six-month period of FY 2020 ended December 31, 2019.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Net result for the first half of fiscal year 2020 recorded a gain of ARS 1,673 million compared to a loss of ARS 8,627 million in the same period of fiscal year 2019 mainly explained by higher results from changes in the fair value of investment properties in the Argentine business center and the result from the deconsolidation of Gav- Yam, due to the loss of control, in the Israel business center through IRSA, offset among other effects, by the loss from exchange rate differences in Argentina.
  • Net result attributable to the controlling shareholder registered a loss of ARS 4,746 million compared to a loss of ARS 6,027 million in the first half of 2019.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the period reached ARS 14,227 million, of which ARS 2,601 million come from the agricultural business due to higher productive results of sugarcane activity offset by lower results from farmland sales and ARS 11,626 million come from the urban properties and investments business (IRSA).
  • A 2020 campaign with good weather conditions is projected in the region in which we expect to plant approximately 269,000 ha.
  • On November 14, the company has distributed among its shareholders 13,000,000 treasury shares, representing 2.6% of the share capital.
  • As a subsequent event, our subsidiary Brasilagro has concluded the merge transaction with Agrifirma, adding 28,930 hectares to its portfolio.
