IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anonima Announces Results for the First Six Months Fiscal Year 2011 Ended December 31, 2010
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Feb. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anonima (NYSE: IRS; BASE: IRSA), the leading real estate company in Argentina, announces its results for the First Six Months Fiscal Year 2011 Ended December 31, 2010
HIGHLIGHTS
The rental segments, which accounted for 74% of revenues and 85% of EBITDA, improved 27% and 24% concerning those indicators for the first six months of fiscal year 2011 compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.
The increase in such segments was offset by a lower activity in the Sales and Developments segment and lower revenues from the consumer finance segment due to the sale of the 80% interest in Tarshop S.A. in September 2010.
Revenues for the first six months of the fiscal year increased 6% to Ps. 698 million, and operating results rose 3% to Ps. 301 million, whereas EBITDA increased 2% to Ps. 380 million.
The Shopping Center segment, in which IRSA increased its shareholding interest to 94.9%, continues to exhibit a sound performance, with an increase in Sales of 31% and EBITDA/Sales margins at 77%.
Hotel operations have shown a firm recovery.
We continue to seize opportunities in the U.S. real estate market, having acquired an office building in Manhattan and restructuring the debt associated to the Lipstick Building, in which we increased our interest to 49%.
Net income was Ps. 171 million compared to Ps. 264 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year due to lower income from Banco Hipotecario S.A., mainly reflecting a lower appreciation of public bond holdings during this semester as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.
During the last quarter, IRSA distributed dividends for Ps. 120 million (Ps. 0.207 per share or Ps. 2.07 per ADR)
