DESCRIPTION

IRSA is Argentina's largest shopping mall owner and operator, and the only Argentine real estate company listed on both the Buenos Aires exchange and the NYSE. IRSA owns, develops, and manages 17 shopping malls across Buenos Aires and major provincial cities, totaling roughly 390,000 sqm of gross leasable area at approximately 98% occupancy. Mall tenants — primarily fashion, food & beverage, and entertainment retailers — pay rent structured as the higher of a CPI-indexed base rent or a percentage of tenant gross sales, giving IRSA inflation protection while participating in consumer spending upside. Shopping malls account for roughly 73% of segment revenue. Beyond malls, IRSA owns three luxury hotels in Buenos Aires and Bariloche, five premium office buildings in Buenos Aires (with dollar-denominated leases), and a large land bank being monetized through its Ramblas del Plata waterfront megaproject — a roughly 70-hectare mixed-use development adjacent to Puerto Madero, where IRSA sells and barterslots to third-party developers rather than bearing construction costs directly. IRSA also holds a 29% stake in Banco Hipotecario, Argentina's leading mortgage bank. IRSA's results are closely tied to Argentine macro conditions: inflation drives base rent indexation, real wage growth drives tenant sales, and the peso/dollar rate affects hotel demand and asset valuations. The company's reported net income can be volatile due to fair value marks on investment properties, but underlying cash EBITDA in dollar terms has been relatively stable.
