Argentina’s IRSA Reports Q1 Net Profit Of ARS5.7M Vs ARS56M

BUENOS AIRES (Dow Jones)–Argentine real estate developer IRSA-Inversiones y Representaciones SA (IRS, IRS.BA) on Friday reported a fiscal first-quarter profit of 5.7 million pesos ($1.3 million).

That compares with ARS56 million profit during the same period a year earlier.

For the quarter ended Sept. 30, IRSA attributed the decline in income mainly to higher financial charges and a different exchange rate.

IRSA said income was helped by improved occupancy rates at one of its major shopping centers, Dot, where 100% of its retail spaces were occupied in the quarter.
