Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. Announces Results for the First Nine Months Fiscal Year 2011 Ended March 31, 2011
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, May 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. (Nasdaq: CRESY, BASE: CRES), today announces results for the First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2011 Ended March 31, 2011.
HIGHLIGHTS
Sales and operating income increased 23%, to Ps. 1,383 million and Ps. 513 million, respectively.
Net income was Ps. 142 million compared to Ps. 185 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to larger financial expenses resulting from the issuance of debt securities by our subsidiary IRSA and lower income from equity investees.
Operating income from the agribusiness segment amounted to Ps. 110 million compared to Ps. 33 million for the first nine months of the previous fiscal year.
The improvement in the prices of crops, beef cattle and milk has been reflected in the positive development of these segments' gross margins and livestock holding results. Harvesting is at an advanced stage, and prospects for the end of the current season are very good.
Cresud's agricultural performance in the international sphere has shown improved results thanks to the good performance of its farms in Bolivia.
By the end of April, Cresud completed payment of the consideration whereby it increased its interest in BrasilAgro to 35.75%.
