Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(All amounts in millions of Argentine pesos, except otherwise indicated)
 
 
1.
The Group’s business and general information
 
Cresud was founded in 1936 as a subsidiary of Credit Foncier, a Belgian company primarily engaged in providing rural and urban loans in Argentina and administering real estate holdings foreclosed by Credit Foncier. Credit Foncier was liquidated in 1959, and as part of such liquidation, the shares of Cresud were distributed to Credit Foncier’s shareholders. From the 1960s through the end of the 1970s, the business of Cresud shifted exclusively to agricultural activities.
 
In 2002, Cresud acquired a 19.85% interest in IRSA, a real estate company related to certain shareholders of Cresud. In 2009, Cresud increased its ownership percentage in IRSA to 55.64% and IRSA became Cresud’s direct principal subsidiary.
 
Cresud and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the Group.
 
Main shareholders´ of the Company are jointly Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A., Agroinvestment S.A and Consultores Venture Capital Uruguay S.A. This entities are companies incorporated in Uruguay and belong to the same controlling group and the ultimate beneficiary is Eduardo S. Elsztain.
 
The Board of Directors has approved these Financial Statements for issuance on May 9, 2024.
 
As of March 31, 2024, the Group operates in two major business lines: (i) agricultural business and (ii) urban property and investment business.
 
Economic context in which the Group operated
 
The Group operated in an economic context characterized by strong fluctuations in its main variables. The most relevant aspects are detailed below:
 
Economic Activity: At the end of 2023, the country experienced a 1.6% drop in its economic activity, according to INDEC data, a trend that continued during the first quarter of the 2024 calendar.
Inflation: Between April 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024, accumulated inflation reached 288% (measured by the CPI).
Exchange Rate: In that same period, according to the official exchange rate, the Argentine peso nominally depreciated against the US dollar, going from ARS 209.1 to ARS 855 per dollar at the end of the period. The MEP dollar behaved in the same way, going from ARS 397.34 to ARS 1,017.50.
Fiscal Surplus: During the first quarter of 2024, Argentina achieved a fiscal surplus, because of the strong adjustment applied by the government to order the accounts of the public sector and lower inflation.
Exchange Restrictions: The monetary authority maintained the exchange restrictions established in previous years throughout 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. Despite these restrictions, the company managed to meet all financial and contractual maturities.
 
On December 10, 2023 a new government took office in Argentina with the intention of carrying out a broad legal and regulatory reform.
 
Among the first measures adopted by this government is a Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) that modifies various laws. These reforms affect areas such as the labor market, the customs code, and the status of public companies. Although the DNU was rejected by the Senate of the Nation’s Congress, its provisions have been partially in force since December 29, 2023, due to judicial actions that suspended certain modifications.
 
The reforms proposed by the new government are in the process of legislative discussion, and it is not possible to predict at this time their evolution or the new measures that could be announced.
 
The normative and regulatory situation as of March 31, 2024, does not differ substantially from the one mentioned above, and the financial statements of the Group should be read considering these circumstances.
 
2.
Summary of significant accounting policies
 
2.1.
Basis of preparation
 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim financial reporting” and should therefore be read in conjunction with the Group's annual Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2023 prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Also, these financial statements include additional information required by Law No. 19,550 and / or regulations of the CNV. Such information is included in the notes to these financial statements, as accepted by IFRS Accounting Standards.
 
These financial statements for the interim periods of nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have not been audited. Management considers that they include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of each period. Intermediate period results do not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Group's results for the entire fiscal years.
 
IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is one of a hyperinflationary economy be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method. To do so, in general terms, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be calculated by non-monetary items. This requirement also includes the comparative information of the financial statements.
 
In order to conclude on whether an economy is categorized as highly inflationary in the terms of IAS 29, the standard details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of an accumulated inflation rate in three years that approximates or exceeds 100%. Accumulated inflation in Argentina in three years is over 100%. For that reason, in accordance with IAS 29, Argentina must be considered a country with a highly inflationary economy starting July 1, 2018.
 
In relation to the inflation index to be used and in accordance with Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) Resolution No. 539/18, it is determined based on the Wholesale Price Index (IPIM) until 2016, considering the average variation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires for the months of November and December 2015, because during those two months there were no national IPIM measurements. Then, from January 2017, the National Consumer Price Index (National CPI) is considered.
 
The table below presents the index for the period between the last fiscal year and as of March 31, 2024, and for the twelve month period ending on the same date, according to official statistics (INDEC) and following the guidelines described in Resolution 539/18.
 
 
 
As of March 31, 2024 (nine months)
 
 
As of March 31, 2024 (twelve months)
 
Price variation
  213%
  288%
 
As a consequence of the aforementioned, these financial statements as of March 31, 2024 were restated in accordance with IAS 29.
 
2.2
Accounting policies
 
The accounting policies applied in the presentation of these Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements, as described in Note 2 to those Financial Statements.
 
 
2.3
Comparability of information
 
Balance items as of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 presented in these Financial Statements for comparative purposes arise from the financial statements as of and for such period, restated in accordance with IAS 29 (See Note 2.1). Certain items from prior periods have been reclassified for consistency purposes.

Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
 
 
 
2.4
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of Financial Statements at a certain date requires Management to make estimations and evaluations affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recorded during the period. Actual results might differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these financial statements. In the preparation of these financial statements, the significant judgments made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty were the same as the ones applied by the Group in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements described in Note 3 to those Financial Statements.
 
3.
Seasonal effects on operations
 
Agricultural business
 
Some of the Group’s businesses are more affected by seasonal effects than others. The operations of the Group’s agricultural business are subject to seasonal effects. The harvests and sale of grains in Argentina generally take place each year since June in the case of corn and soybean since March, since October in the case of wheat, and since December in the case of sunflower. In Brazil, the harvest and sale of soybean take place since February, and in the case of corn weather conditions make it possible to have two seasons, therefore the harvest take place between March and July. In Bolivia, weather conditions also make it possible to have two soybean, corn and sorghum seasons and, therefore, these crops are harvested in July and May, whereas wheat is harvested in August and September, respectively. In the case of sugarcane, harvest and sale take place between April and November of each year. Other segments of the agricultural business, such as beef cattle production tend to be more stable. However, beef cattle production is generally larger during the second quarter, when conditions are more favorable. As a result, there may be material fluctuations in the agricultural business results across quarters.
 
Urban properties and investments business
 
The operations of the Group’s shopping malls are subject to seasonal effects, which affect the level of sales recorded by lessees. During summertime in Argentina (January and February), the lessees of shopping malls experience the lowest sales levels in comparison with the winter holidays (July) and Christmas and year-end holidays celebrated in December, when they tend to record peaks of sales. Apparel stores generally change their collections during the spring and the fall, which impacts positively on shopping malls sales. Sale discounts at the end of each season also affect the business. As a consequence, for shopping mall operations, a higher level of business activity is expected in the period ranging between July and December, compared to the period between January and June.
 
4.
Acquisitions and disposals
 
Significant acquisitions and disposals for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024 are detailed below. Significant acquisitions and disposals for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, are detailed in Note 4 to the Annual Financial Statements.

(i)
For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, the net loss from fair value adjustment of investment properties was ARS 377,736. The net impact of the values in pesos of our properties was mainly a consequence of the change in macroeconomic conditions:
 
Level 2:
 
(a)
The value of our office buildings and other rental properties measured in real terms decreased by 36.11% during the nine-month period ended as of March 31, 2024, due to the variation of the implicit exchange rate which was well below inflation. Likewise, there is an impact for the sales of the period.
 
Level 3:
 
(b)
loss of ARS 26,001 as a consequence of the variation in the projected income growth rate increase and the conversion to dollars of the projected cash flow in pesos according to the exchange rate estimates used in the cash flow from shopping malls.
(c)
positive impact of ARS 387,521 resulting from the conversion into pesos of the value of the shopping malls in dollars based on the exchange rate at the end of the period.
(d)
a decrease of 2 basis points in the discount rate used for cash flows and a decrease of 24 basis points in the discount rate used for perpetuity, mainly due to a decrease in the country-risk rate component and risk-free rate of the WACC discount rate used to discount the cash flow, which led to an increase in the value of the shopping malls of ARS 17,260.
 
Additionally, due to the impact of the inflation adjustment, ARS 1,216,125 were reclassified for shopping malls from “Net gain from fair value adjustment” to “Inflation Adjustment” in the Statement of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.

Arcos del Gourmet S.A. (“Arcos” or “AGSA”)
 
ARCOS DEL GOURMET SA AND ANOTHER V. EN-AABE KNOWLEDGE PROCESS (CAF 030002/2015)
 
(i): This process was initiated on June 18, 2015, by AGSA to raise the nullity of the revocation of the contract for the readjustment of the use and exploitation concession, established by Resolution No. 170/2014 by the Agencia de Administración de Bienes del Estado (State Assets Administration Office, or AABE in Spanish). Evidence was produced, and arguments were presented.
 
On August 24, 2022, the Court rejected the lawsuit filed by Arcos del Gourmet SA, with costs. On August 26, 2022, Arcos del Gourmet S.A. appealed the final judgment issued in the case. On September 19, 2023, Chamber V of the Federal Administrative Litigation Court issued a judgment rejecting the appeal filed by Arcos del Gourmet SA.
 
The judgment of the Court was appealed to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation through an extraordinary federal appeal filed on October 17, 2023. The federal extraordinary appeal was denied by the Chamber on March 14, 2024. AGSA filed an appeal in fact within the terms of articles 282 and 285 CPCCN before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. The legal advisors of the Company believe that this appeal has reasonable prospects of success, as there is federal subject matter to enable the intervention of the Supreme Court.

(i.a.) INCIDENT NO. 1 - PLAINTIFF: ARCOS DEL GOURMET SA DEFENDANT: EN-AABE AND OTHERS REGARDING A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE (CAF 030002/2015/1)
 
On March 1, 2019, a request was made for the issuance of a precautionary measure aimed at "ordering AABE to suspend any judicial or administrative eviction procedure, by which it intends to forcibly execute Resolution AABE No. 170/2014, until a final judgment is issued in the nullity lawsuit brought on its basis", particularly the case titled "Playas Ferroviarias de Buenos Aires SA v. Arcos del Gourmet SA regarding Eviction Law 17,901" (File No. CAF 47454/2018). On May 6, 2021, an extension of the precautionary measure was granted. Against this resolution, Playas Ferroviarias and AABE filed an appeal. On September 7, 2021, the Chamber ruled in favor of the appeals filed by AABE and Playas Ferroviarias. Against this resolution, AGSA filed an extraordinary federal appeal on September 21, 2021. On November 17, 2021, the Chamber issued a judgment denying the extraordinary appeal filed by AGSA with costs, arguing that the attempted appeal was not directed at a final judgment or equivalent resolution.
 
ARCOS DEL GOURMET SA V. ADMINISTRACION DE INFRAESTRUCTURAS FERROVIARIAS SOC DEL ESTADO (ADIF) CONSIGNMENT LAWSUIT (CCF 001461/2015)
 
On April 8, 2015, AGSA initiated this lawsuit since AGSA was not allowed to pay the March 2015 canon corresponding to the Readjustment Contract of Use and Exploitation that Arcos agreed with ADIF. To date, all the canons that have been accrued to date have been judicially deposited - and those amounts invested in fixed-term deposits. On November 17, 2017, ADIF answered the lawsuit. The trial opened for evidence on March 21, 2019, which was produced, and arguments were presented in December 2022. Subsequently, at the time of requesting the issuance of a judgment, the court - as a measure to better provide - ordered the issuance of various letters rogatory to courts where issues related to the concession contract are being litigated, which were responded. Since these issues are still unresolved, the issuance of the final judgment was deferred.
 
PLAYAS FERROVIARIAS DE BUENOS AIRES SA V. ARCOS DEL GOURMET SA EVICTION LAW 17.091 (CAF 047454/2018)
 
On June 14, 2018, Playas Ferroviarias de Buenos Aires S.A. initiated an eviction process against AGSA. On February 13, 2019, it was decided to accumulate the eviction process with the nullity action promoted by AGSA (referred to in the preceding 1.A). On May 11, 2022, the Court ruled to decree the immediate eviction of AGSA and/or occupants and/or intruders of the properties. At the same time, it ordered Playas Ferroviarias de Buenos Aires S.A. to make arrangements to ensure the continuity of the commercial activities of the sub-lessees and the employment sources they employ and, for at least 6 months, the values agreed upon with the current concessionaire must be maintained. The next day, AGSA appealed. Finally, on July 13, 2022, the Prosecutor published the opinion. As a result of the opinion, Chamber V ordered the transfer of the case to judgment. Chamber V issued its judgment on September 19, 2023, rejecting the appeal filed by AGSA and confirming the judgment of the lower court. Against this judgment, AGSA filed an extraordinary federal appeal. The federal extraordinary appeal was denied by the Chamber on March 14, 2024. AGSA lodged a factual appeal under the terms of articles 282 and 285 of the CPCCN to the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. The legal advisors of the Company believe that this appeal has reasonable prospects of success, as there is federal subject matter to enable the intervention of the Supreme Court.

FEDERACION DE COMERCIO E INDUSTRIA DE LA CIUDAD DE BUENOS AIRES (FECOBA) and others V. GCBA and others on protective petition (CAYT 68795/2013-0)
 
Federación de Comercio e Industria de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (Federation of Commerce and Industry of the City of Buenos Aires, or FECOBA in Spanish) argued that the project executed in DISTRICT ARCOS did not have the necessary environmental approvals and did not comply with zoning guidelines. It also requested a precautionary measure, which was admitted and caused the opening to the public to be delayed until December 18, 2014, which now operates normally. In the main process, after the filing of several procedural appeals, Chamber III of the Appeals Court issued a judgment on February 14, 2019, as follows: AGSA and GCBA were convicted, with AGSA being required to allocate at least 23,319.41 square meters for public use and utility with unrestricted access and special and preferential allocation to the generation of new park-like green spaces - located wholly or partially on the property subject to the lawsuit (Distrito Arcos) or adjacent lands. In case the company cannot allocate the entire land fraction to the City of Buenos Aires, then it must pay, after a valuation, the necessary amount of money so that the Administration proceeds to search for a property to fulfill the purpose established during the term of the concession contract. If none of the mentioned alternatives are carried out by AGSA, the demolition of the necessary works on the property to comply with the stipulated in the Urban Planning Code (art. 3.1.2) would be ordered. Subsequently, within the framework of the appeal for constitutional review denied filed by AGSA against the aforementioned judgment, the Superior Court of Justice ruled that the demolition of the works carried out on the property where the "Distrito Arcos" Shopping Center is currently located, as ordered by the Chamber, is not appropriate, confirming the rest of the sentence. Our legal advisors are analyzing the procedural steps to follow.

Costa Urbana –former Solares de Santa María– Costanera Sur, Buenos Aires City (IRSA)
 
On December 21, 2021, it was published the law from Buenos Aires City congress approving the Regulations for the development of the property of approximately 70 hectares, owned by the Company since 1997, previously known as "Solares de Santa María", located in front of the Río de la Plata in the South Coast of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, southeast of Puerto Madero. The published law grants a New Standard, designated: "U73 - Public Park and Costa Urbana Urbanization", which enables the combination of diverse uses such as homes, offices, retail, services, public spaces, education, and entertainment.
 
IRSA will have a construction capacity of approximately 866,806 sqm, which will drive growth for the coming years through the development of mixed-use projects.
 
IRSA agreed to give in 50.8 hectares for public use, which represents approximately 71% of the total area of the property to the development of public green spaces and will contribute with three additional lots of the property, two for the Sustainable Urban Development Fund (FODUS) and one for the Innovation Trust, Science and Technology of the Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, and the sum of USD 2 million in cash and the amount of 3,000,000 sovereign bonds (AL35) which have already been paid.
 
In March 2023, Mensura was approved with a proposal for subdivision, fractioning, transfer of streets and public space and we are in the process of deeding the 3 plots and the public park sector that is transferred for consideration.
 
Likewise, the Company will be in charge of the infrastructure and road works on the property and will carry out the public space works contributing up to USD 40 million together with the maintenance of the public spaces assigned for 10 years or until the sum of USD 10 million is completed.
 
“Costa Urbana” will change the landscape of Buenos Aires City, giving life to an undeveloped area and will be in an exceptional property due to its size, location and connectivity, providing the City the possibility of expanding and recovering access to the Río de la Plata coast with areas for walks, recreation, green spaces, public parks and mixed uses.

On the judicial front, it should be noted that there are two (2) related judicial processes:
 
(i)
On October 29, 2021, IRSA was notified of the amparo lawsuit initiated by the Civil Association Observatory of Law in the City in relation to the property, in which it was stated that there were nullities that affected the approval process of the Agreement. Urban Planning (CU). The lawsuit was subsequently expanded, also challenging issues proposed in the CU. IRSA proceeded to answer the claim on November 12, 2021, requesting its rejection, and on March 10, 2022, the court issued a ruling partially granting protection, which was appealed by the Company and the GCBA. On March 6, 2023, the Chamber of Administrative, Tax and Consumer Relations Litigation - Chamber IV decided to revoke the first instance ruling, and consequently reject the claim. Since this ruling was not appealed, the case has concluded favorably for the Company.
 
(ii)
On October 18, 2023, IRSA was notified of the amparo lawsuit initiated by Messrs. Jonatan Baldiviezo and María Eva Koutsovitis in relation to the property, in which they intend to suspend the holding of the public hearing (which took place in August 2021), extend the registration period for the aforementioned hearing and declare the nullity of the public hearing, in the event that it had already been carried out, based on alleged violations of the right to informed participation in the same and access to environmental information. In this regard, IRSA answered the complaint on November 1, 2023, requesting its rejection. This is based on the fact that the issue was already partially resolved by the trial referred to in point (i), and that all the relevant information for carrying out the approval process of the Urban Planning Agreement was fully provided. The environmental issues of the project must be addressed at the corresponding stage, as established by Law 123. On November 8, 2023, the Public Prosecutor's Office issued an opinion recommending that the action be rejected. On February 26, the Court dismissed the attempted amparo action. Since said sentence was not appealed, the case has concluded favorably for IRSA.

IDBD
 
The Group lost control of IDBD on September 25, 2020.
 
On September 21, 2020, IDBD filed a lawsuit against Dolphin Netherlands B.V. (“Dolphin BV”) and IRSA before the Tel-Aviv Jaffa District Court (civil case no. 29694-09-20). The amount claimed by IDBD is NIS 140 million, alleging that Dolphin BV and IRSA breached an alleged legally binding commitment to transfer to IDBD 2 installments of NIS 70 million. On December 24, 2020, and following approval by the insolvency court, the IDBD trustee filed a motion to dismiss the claim, maintaining the right as IDBD trustee, to file a new inter alia claim in the same matter, after conduct an investigation into the reasons for IDBD's insolvency. On December 24, 2020, the court entered a judgment to dismiss the claim as requested. On October 31, 2021, the Insolvency Commissioner notified that he did not oppose the motion, and on that same date, the court affirmed the motion initiated by the trustee of IDBD.
 
On December 26, 2021 IDBD filed the lawsuit against Dolphin BV and IRSA for the sum of NIS 140 million, plus interest and costs.
On January 30, 2023, a copy of the lawsuit was sent to us and we evaluated the legal defense alternatives for the company's interests. Throughout the year 2023 and up to the present date, the legal process has continued as usual, and the Company has responded to all requests made to it.
 
On January 17, 2024, the Court dismissed the request for asset injunction and embargo on IRSA requested by IDBD. A hearing date has been set in the file dealing with the appeal of jurisdiction and the notification of the lawsuit. A hearing date has also been set in the main claim file, which is currently in the evidentiary stage.
 
The company is currently discussing the validity of the claim regarding its liability and, subsidiarily, rebutting the substantive arguments raised by IDBD. However, based on the analysis conducted by the Company's lawyers to date, a provision related to this claim has been recorded in accordance with applicable accounting standards. As of the issuance date of these condensed interim financial statements, the legal process is still ongoing.

REVIEW REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
To the Shareholders, President and Directors of
Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
Legal address: Carlos Della Paolera 261, 9° floor
Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
Tax Registration Number: 30-50930070-0
 
Introduction
 
We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria (“the Company”), which comprise the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position at March 31, 2024, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income for the nine month period and three month period ended March 31, 2024, the interim consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, and selected explanatory notes.
 
Management’s responsibility
 
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS accounting standards, adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) as professional accounting standards and included by the National Securities Commission (CNV) in its regulations, as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and is therefore responsible for the preparation and presentation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Information (IAS 34).
 
Scope of our review
 
Our review was limited to the application of the procedures established under International Standards on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, adopted as a review standard in Argentina by Technical Pronouncement No. 33 of the FACPCE and approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). A review of interim financial information consists of inquiries of Company staff responsible for preparing the information included in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and of analytical and other review procedures. This review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion
 
On the basis of our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph of this report have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria have not been transcribed into the Inventory and Balance Sheet book and, except for the above mentioned situation, as regards those matters that are within our competence, they are in compliance with the provisions of the General Companies Law and pertinent resolutions of the National Securities Commission;

Brief comment on the Company’s activities during the period, including references to significant events occurred after the end of the period.
 
Economic context in which the Company operates
 
The Company operated in an economic context characterized by strong fluctuations in its main variables. The most relevant aspects are detailed below:
 
Economic Activity: At the end of 2023, the country experienced a 1.6% drop in its economic activity, according to INDEC data, a trend that continued during the first quarter of the 2024 calendar.
 
Inflation: Between April 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024, accumulated inflation reached 288% (measured by the CPI).
 
Exchange Rate: In that same period, according to the official exchange rate, the Argentine peso nominally depreciated against the US dollar, going from ARS 209.1 to ARS 855 per dollar at the end of the period. The MEP dollar behaved in the same way, going from ARS 397.34 to ARS 1,017.50.
 
Fiscal Surplus: During the first quarter of 2024, Argentina achieved a fiscal surplus, because of the strong adjustment applied by the government to order the accounts of the public sector and lower inflation.
 
Exchange Restrictions: The monetary authority maintained the exchange restrictions established in previous years throughout 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. Despite these restrictions, the company managed to meet all financial and contractual maturities.
 
On December 10, 2023, a new government took office in Argentina with the intention of carrying out a broad legal and regulatory reform.
 
Among the first measures adopted by this government is a Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) that modifies various laws. These reforms affect areas such as the labor market, the customs code, and the status of public companies. Although the DNU was rejected by the Senate of the Nation’s Congress, its provisions have been partially in force since December 29, 2023, due to judicial actions that suspended certain modifications.
 
The reforms proposed by the new government are in the process of legislative discussion, and it is not possible to predict at this time their evolution or the new measures that could be announced.
 
The normative and regulatory situation as of March 31, 2024, does not differ substantially from the one mentioned above, and the financial statements of the Company should be read considering these circumstances.

Consolidated revenues increased by 5.2% during the nine-month period of fiscal year 2024, compared to the same period of fiscal year 2023, while Adjusted EBITDA grew by 61.4% during the same period. Agribusiness segments adjusted EBITDA was ARS 45,504 million, compared to a negative adjusted EBITDA of ARS 6,722 million in the same period of 2023, mainly due to better productive results and farmland sales in Argentina. The urban properties and investments business (through IRSA) adjusted EBITDA was ARS 123,631 million.
 
The net result for the nine-month period of fiscal year 2024 registered a ARS 25,646 million loss compared to a gain of ARS 140,918 in the same period of fiscal year 2023. This is mainly explained by the loss recorded from changes in the fair value of investment properties in the urban and investments business due to the impact of an inflation much higher than the devaluation on those properties valued in USD at an MEP exchange rate. The net result attributable to the controlling shareholder recorded a gain of ARS 22,340 million in the period.

2024 Campaign
 
The 2024 regional campaign is being developed with mixed climatic conditions, similar planted area and expected production levels in line with the last campaign. Prospects for Argentina are better than for the rest of the region, given the severe drought experienced during the last campaign. The country projects soybean and corn production of approximately 50 million tons, with better prospects in the south and a decrease in production in the north.
 
Our Portfolio
 
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, our portfolio under management consisted of 745,049 hectares, of which 307,525 hectares are productive and 437,524 hectares are land reserves distributed in the four countries of the region where we operate.

Segment Income – Agricultural Business
 
 
I)
Land Development and Sales
 
We periodically sell properties that have reached a considerable appraisal to reinvest in new farms with higher appreciation potential. We analyze the possibility of selling based on a number of factors, including the expected future yield of the farmland for continued agricultural and livestock exploitation, the availability of other investment opportunities and cyclical factors that have a bearing on the global values of farmlands.

Segment profit increased by ARS 11,134 million, mainly explained by the fractions sold and the valuation of accounts receivable in the current period for the sale of agreed soybean farms (included in Other Operating Results), from Brazil.
 
 
On March 26, 2024, BrasilAgro sold a fraction of 12,335 hectares (8,796 productive hectares) of the “Chaparral” farm located in Correntina, State of Bahia, Brazil, that was acquired in 2007. After this operation, a remaining surface of 24,847 hectares of this farm is still owned by the BrasilAgro. The total amount of the operation was set at BRL 364.5 million, subject to variations in the soybean bag price, and the field was valued on the books at BRL 34.0 million. The internal rate of return in dollars reached was approximately 7.8%. The result of the sale will be recorded in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year.

The Grains activity presented a positive variation by ARS 17,818 million, from a ARS 1,1889 million loss during the nine-month period of fiscal year 2023 to a ARS 16,629 million gain during the same period of fiscal year 2024, mainly because of:
 
A gain in the productive result in Argentina due to the diversion in 22-23 Corn & Cotton Campaigns due to a greater volume of tons obtained compared to a negative result in the 21-22 Campaign due to lower yields, higher direct costs and prices lower than projected, along with the progress of 23-24 Wheat Campaign, with higher production margins due to higher yields.
 
Offset by a lower productive result in Brazil from soybean and corn due to a lower planted area and a drop in prices.
 
A higher gain in the holding and sales result in Argentina, due to better prices performance in pesos against inflation compared with the same period of fiscal year 2023.
 
The result of the Sugarcane activity increased by ARS 737 million, from a ARS 1,862 million loss in the nine-month period of fiscal year 2023 to a ARS 2,599 million loss in the same period of 2024. This is mainly due to a greater loss in the productive result of the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 in Brazil because of a drop in prices, partially offset by an increase in tons produced due to an increase in yield.

EBITDA Reconciliation
 
In this summary report, we present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as profit for the period excluding: (i) result of discontinued operations, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) financial results, net iv) results from participation in associates and joint ventures; and (v) depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA minus net profit from changes in the fair value of investment properties, not realized and realized sales.
 
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures that do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide investors supplemental measures of our financial performance that may facilitate period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Our management also uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from time to time, among other measures, for internal planning and performance measurement purposes. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to profit from operations, as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities, in each case, as determined in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The table below presents a reconciliation of profit for the relevant period to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:

Summary as of March 31, 2024
 
 
 
Brief comment on prospects for the fiscal year
 
The 2024 regional campaign is being developed with mixed climatic conditions, similar planted area and expected production levels in line with the last campaign. Prospects for Argentina are better than for the rest of the region, given the severe drought experienced during the last campaign. The country projects soybean and corn production of approximately 50 million tons, with better prospects in the south and a decrease in production in the north.
 
International commodity prices have been correcting compared to last season, mainly explained by the growth in supply from South America, waiting for demand to be reactivated. Regarding input costs, they have experienced a correction, but they are still high in relation to commodity prices. We will apply the best agricultural practices to achieve high yields and increase margins per hectare.
 
Regarding livestock activity, a significant improvement in prices has been observed in Argentina, which, added to the good weather conditions of the campaign, predicts positive results for this activity with good levels of meat production. We will continue to concentrate our production in our own fields, mainly in the Northwest of Argentina and consolidating our activity in Brazil with a focus on improving productivity, controlling costs and working efficiently to achieve the highest possible operating margins.
 
On the real estate segment, we have been observing an upward trend in land prices worldwide that has not been replicated in Argentina and we are beginning to see greater interest in our assets in the country. As part of our business strategy, we will continue selling the farms that have reached their maximum level of appreciation in the region, hoping that Brazil maintains its liquidity and firm prices, and Argentina increases the number of transactions, with competitive valuations.
 
Our agricultural commercial services business, through FyO, plans to continue growing in the commercialization of grains, continue with the digital transformation of the company and advance in the regionalization of the input business in Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and Peru with the objective of increase sales and margins. For its part, Agrofy, the online agricultural platform, will focus on the profitability of the different categories and main clients. We will continue to achieve synergies with FyO in the development of commercial agreements with clients and giving visibility to our portfolio through the Marketplace.
 
The urban property and investment business, which we own through IRSA, has been recording good results in its rental segments and distributing high dividends, despite a third quarter with a drop in consumption in our shopping centers. The economic context is challenging for the next quarter, but we trust in the quality of the portfolio and in management's ability to adapt to changes in the context and continue offering the best proposals to its tenants and visitors.
 
During fiscal year 2024, we will continue working on the reduction and efficiency of the cost structure. At the same time we will continue evaluating financial, economic and/or corporate tools that allow the Company to improve its position in the market in which it operates and have the necessary liquidity to meet its obligations, such as public and/or private disposal of assets that may include real estate as well as negotiable securities owned by the Company, issuance of negotiable bonds, repurchase of own shares, among other instruments that be useful to the proposed objectives.
 
We believe that Cresud, owner of a diversified rural and urban real estate portfolio, with a management with many years of experience in the sector and a great track record in accessing the capital markets, will have excellent possibilities to take advantage of the best opportunities that arise in the market.
