. 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 Group operates
The Group operates in a complex context both due to macroeconomic conditions, whose main variables have recently experienced strong volatility, as well as regulatory, social, and political conditions, both nationally and internationally.
The results from operations may be affected by fluctuations in the inflation index and the argentine peso exchange rate against other currencies, mainly the dollar, variations in interest rates which have an impact on the cost of capital, changes in government policies, capital control and other political or economic developments both locally and internationally.
In December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus (SARS-COV-2), which caused severe acute respiratory syndrome (COVID-19) appeared in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. In response, countries have taken extraordinary measures to contain the spread of the virus, including imposing travel restrictions and closing borders, closing businesses deemed non-essential, instructing residents to practice social distancing, implementing quarantines, among other measures. The ongoing pandemic and these extraordinary government actions are affecting global economic activity, resulting in significant volatility in global financial markets.
On March 3, 2020, the first case of COVID-19 was registered in the country and until November 8, 2020, more than 1,200,000 cases of infections had been confirmed in Argentina, by virtue of which the National Government implemented a series of health measures of social, preventive and mandatory isolation at the national level that began on March 19, 2020 and extended several times, most recently until November 8, 2020 inclusive in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires although it has been extended in some cities in the interior of the country. Among this measures, that affected the local economy, the following stand out: the extension of the public emergency in health matters, the total closure of borders, the suspension of international and cabotage flights, the suspension of medium and long-distance land transport, the suspension of artistic and sports shows, closure of businesses not considered essential, including shopping malls and hotels.
This series of measures affected a large part of Argentine companies, which experienced a drop in their income and inconveniences in the payment chain. In this context, the Argentine government announced different measures aimed at alleviating the financial crisis of the companies affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Likewise, it should be noted that, to the stagnation of the Argentine economy, a context of international crisis is added because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this scenario, a strong contraction of the Argentine economy is expected.
After various negotiations between the Argentine government and the bondholders, the Argentine government announced the conclusion of a principle of agreement with the main groups of creditors, to avoid default. On August 28, 2020, the government reported that 93.55% of the holders of the total outstanding principal amount of all the bonds accepted the debt swap, and on August 31, 2020, the national government obtained the required consents to redeem and / or modify 99.01% of the total outstanding principal amount of all series of eligible bonds. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the new bonds are already trading on the market.

In turn, the government is challenged to achieve a successful debt renegotiation with the IMF. If Argentina achieves a favourable result and agrees to restructure its debt with the IMF, this could have a positive impact on the Argentine economy, in the medium and long term. On the contrary, the lack of an agreement with external private creditors could lead to a default of the Argentine sovereign debt and, consequently, this situation could generate limitations to the companies' ability to access new financing.
At the local environment, the following circumstances are displayed:
- In August 2020, the Monthly Economic Activity Estimator ("EMAE" in Spanish) reported by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses ("INDEC" in Spanish), registered a variation of (11.6)% compared to the same month of 2019, and 1.1% compared to the previous month.
-
The survey on market expectations prepared by the Central Bank in October 2020, called the Market
Expectations Survey ("REM" in Spanish), estimates a retail inflation of 35.8% for 2020. The analysts who confirm the REM forecast a variation in real GDP for 2020 of (11.6)%. In turn, they foresee that in 2021 economic activity will rebound in activity, reaching an economic growth of 4.5%. - The interannual inflation as of September 30, 2020 reached 36.6%.
- In the period from September 2019 to September 2020, the argentine peso depreciated 32.3% against the US dollar according to the wholesale average exchange rate of Argentine Nation Bank. Given the exchange restrictions in force since August 2019, as of September 30, 2020 there is an exchange gap of approximately 82% between the official price of the dollar and its price in parallel markets, which impacts the level of activity in the economy and affects the level of reserves of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic. Additionally, these exchange restrictions, or those that may be dictated in the future, could affect the Group's ability to access the Single Free Exchange Market (MULC in Spanish) to acquire the foreign exchange necessary to meet its financial obligations.
On September 15, 2020, the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic ("BCRA") published Communications "A" 7105 and 7106, which establishes, among other measures, that those who register financial debts with capital maturities in foreign currency scheduled between 10.15.2020 and 03.31.2021, they had to submit a refinancing plan to the BCRA based on the following criteria: (a) that the net amount for which the exchange market will be accessed in the original terms will not exceed 40% of the amount of capital maturing in the period indicated above, and (b) that the rest of the capital is, as a minimum, refinanced with a new external debt with an average life of 2 years, provided that the new debt is settled in the market of changes. It is worth mentioning that for the maturities to be registered from the effective date of the communication (September 16, 2020) and until 12.31.2020, the refinancing plan must be submitted prior to 09.30.2020; and the submission deadline for the remaining maturities -between January 1, 2021 and March 31, 2021, must be submitted with a term of at least 30 calendar days before the maturity of the capital to be refinanced.
COVID-19 pandemic
As described in the note on the economic context in which the Group operates, the COVID-19 pandemic is adversely impacting both the global economy and the Argentine economy and the Group's business.
The current estimated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company as of the date of these financial statements are set out below:
The agricultural business of Cresud and its subsidiaries in Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia continued to operate relatively normally; since the agricultural activity has been considered an essential activity in the countries where the Company operates. In any case, the effect of Covid-19 could cause changes in demand on a global scale and affect the prices of commodities in the international and local markets in the short term.

- Because of the social, preventive and obligatory lockdown, shopping malls throughout the country were closed since March 20, 2020, exclusively remaining operational those stores dedicated to activities considered essential such as pharmacies, supermarkets and banks. The reopening of shopping malls in the interior of the country began during the months of May, June, and July. In August 2020, the Arcos District, an open-air premium outlet in the city of Buenos Aires, was opened and in October 2020, the Group's shopping malls opened in the City and Greater Buenos Aires. As of October 31, 2020, all the Group's shopping malls were open operating under strict protocols. However, the uncertainty of the situation could cause setbacks in the openings already made, as happened in some shopping malls in the interior of the country in previous months due to the increase in cases in those regions.
- Given the closure of the shopping malls, the Group has decided to condone the billing and collection of the Insured Monthly Value until September 30, 2020, with some exceptions and to subsidize the collective promotion fund during the same period, prioritizing the long-term relationship with its tenants. Additionally, an increase in the delinquency rates of some tenants has been detected. As a result of the above, the impact on shopping malls is a 82.4% decrease in rental and service income during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to the same period of last fiscal year, and a 12.6% increase compared to the immediately preceding quarter. Additionally, the charge for bad debts in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 is ARS 40 million and ARS 37 million in the same period of previous fiscal year.
- In relation to the offices business, although most of the tenants are working in the home office mode, they are operational with strict safety and hygiene protocols. To date, we have not evidenced a deterioration in collections.
- La Rural, the Buenos Aires and Punta del Este Convention Centers and the DIRECTV Arena stadium, establishments that the Group owns directly or indirectly, have also been closed since March 20. All planned congresses were suspended, most of the fairs and conventions have been postponed, while the shows scheduled at the DIRECTV Arena stadium were mostly cancelled. The reopening date of these establishments is uncertain, as well as the future agenda of fairs, conventions and shows.
- The Libertador hotel in the City of Buenos Aires and Llao Llao in the province of Río Negro have temporarily closed since the mandatory lockdown decreed in March 2020, while the Intercontinental Hotel in the City of Buenos Aires has worked only under a contingency and emergency plan. As a result of the above, the impact on these financial statements is a 99% decrease in revenues compared to same period of previous fiscal year After the end of first quarter of fiscal year 2021, on November 16, the Llao Llao Hotel opened its doors operating under strict protocols. It is expected that the hotels in the city of Buenos Aires will gradually begin to restart their activity in the coming months.
Regarding the Group's debt maturities during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, IRSA, in the month of May and July 2020, has issued Notes in the local market for the approximate sum of USD 105.4 million. With those proceeds, IRSA canceled its Notes maturing in July and August 2020. Regarding IRSA CP, it has cancelled its Series IV Notes on September 14.
After the end of the quarter, in November 2020, the Group had Notes maturities within the period contemplated by provision "A" 7106 of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic mentioned above. Namely, Cresud Series XXIV for a nominal value of USD 73.6 million with maturity on November 14, 2020 and IRSA Series I for a nominal value of USD
181.5 million with maturity on November 15, 2020, as well as other debts banking. Cresud and IRSA presented a proposal to the BCRA within the corresponding deadlines and carried out exchange operations for said Negotiable Obligations. Cresud through the cash cancellation of USD 29.2 million and the issuance of two new Notes Series XXXI and Series XXXII for a nominal value of USD 1.3 million and USD 34.3 million. For its part, IRSA did it through the cash cancellation of USD 72.6 million and the issuance of two new Notes Series VIII and Series IX for a nominal value of USD 31.7 million and USD 80.7 million (including USD 6.5 million for new money)

Regarding the financial debt of the Group in the next 12 months:
- Cresud faces the maturity of its Series XXVI Notes in January 2021 for a nominal value of ARS 995 million (approximately USD 13.1 million), Series XXVIII in April 2021 for a nominal value of USD 27.5 million and Series XXV and XXVII in July 2021 for a nominal value of USD 59.6 million and USD 5.7 million respectively. Likewise, Cresud has bank overdrafts for USD 24.8 million and other banking debt for USD 64.4 million. As of September 30, it had a liquidity position of approximately USD 71.9 million.
- Our subsidiary IRSA faces the maturity of its Series III Notes for a nominal value of ARS 354 million (equivalent to USD 4.6 million) maturing on February 21, 2021, Series IV Notes for a nominal value of USD 51.4 million maturing on May 21, 2021, Series VI Notes for a nominal value of ARS 335 million (equivalent to USD 4.4 million) maturing on July 21, 2021, bank overdrafts for an amount equivalent to USD 22.0 million and other banking debt for USD 11.8 million. For its part, IRSA CP has maturities of banking debt for the approximate sum of USD 72.7 million.
- It is important to mention that IRSA has approved with IRSA CP a credit line for up to USD 180 million over 3 years, of which as of September 30, 2020 IRSA used approximately USD 104.5 million, leaving the balance available. Additionally, at the Annual Shareholders Meeting, held on October 26, 2020, IRSA CP approved the distribution of a cash dividend of ARS 9,700 million that will be paid on November 25. As of September 30, IRSA owned an 80.65% stake in IRSA CP.
The final extent of the Coronavirus outbreak and its impact on the country's economy is unknown and difficult to fully predict. However, although it has produced significant short-term effects, they are not expected to affect business continuity and the Company's ability to meet financial commitments for the next twelve months.
The Company is closely monitoring the situation and taking all necessary measures to preserve human life and the Group's businesses.

2021 Campaign
The year 2020 was dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in China and subsequently spread to numerous countries, generating volatility in the markets and in commodity prices, adversely impacting the global, Argentine, and regional economy. Our agricultural operations continued their development normally as agricultural production was an essential activity to guarantee the supply of food.
The 2021 campaign is presented with radical changes from what was observed in the market at the end of the previous year. As of August, the United States reduced its sowing intention on the main crops and South America began to show indicators of lack of water. China activated its demand and this, added to the weakness of the dollar in the world, pushed the international prices of commodities upwards. Soybeans rose approximately 30% in the last year and corn 15%. The challenge will be in the climatic evolution in the region since planting began with some difficulties as a result of the "Niña" effect that was moderated in the last weeks with the observed rains.

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.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, no farmland sales were made. In Other operating results is observed the effect of the valuation of accounts receivables related to sales made by our subsidiary Brasilagro during fiscal year 2020.

Loss of the Grains activity increased by ARS 987 million, from ARS 585 million gain during the first quarter of fiscal year
2020 to ARS 402 million loss during the same period of 2021, mainly because of:
- Lower results in Argentina, due to a loss from grain derivatives (mainly soybeans and corn) for upward trend in future prices, and a lower gain in the gross margin of sales and holding results, because of the lower stock left by the 19-20 campaign in comparison to the previous period.
- Lower results in Brazil, mainly due to the negative result generated by commodity derivatives in IQ 21, partially offset by higher productive results, gross sales margin and holding results (mainly in corn).
The result of the Sugarcane activity decreased by ARS 68 million, from a gain of ARS 622 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 to a gain of ARS 554 million in the same period of 2021. This is mainly due to a lower productive result of Brazil, mainly due to higher production costs and less planted area, offset by higher sales results, due to better prices and lower administrative expenses.

III) Other Segments
We include within "Others" the results coming from our Agroindustrial activity, developed in our meatpacking facility in La Pampa and our investment in FyO.
The result of the segment decreased by ARS 188 million, going from a gain of ARS 341 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 to a gain of ARS 153 million for the same period of 2021, mainly due to:
- A decrease in the operating profit of FyO originated mainly because in the previous fiscal year an extraordinary result was generated due to the volatility of the exchange rate, allowing to capture unusual price differences in operations, partially offset by higher results from the sale of supplies, commissions of brokerage and consignment of grains, and lower selling expenses due to the context of the pandemic.
- A negative variation in associates results corresponding to Agrofy S.A.
- A loss from Carnes Pampeanas, mainly originated by a decrease in the sales result, lower volume sold in the local market and lower average sales prices, which was partially offset by an increase in the volume of sales to the foreign market, but at lower average prices when compared to the previous period.

Urban Properties and Investments Business
September 2020: Investment in IDBD and DIC
The Company indirectly participated through IRSA in IDBD and DIC. These companies had certain financial restrictions and agreements in relation to their financial debt, including their negotiable obligations and loans with banks and financial institutions. These commitments and other restrictions resulting from the indebtedness of IDBD and DIC (such as the pledges granted by IDBD over part of its shareholding in DIC) do not have recursive effects against IRSA, nor has IRSA guaranteed them with its assets, so the economic risk of IRSA is limited to the value of said investments.
IDBD financial situation as of June 30, 2020 showed a negative Shareholders Equity, negative Cash Flows and a downgrade in the credit rating. In order to comply with financial liabilities, including short term debts, IDBD cash flow depended on the financial support of its controlling shareholder (Dolphin Netherlands B.V.) and the sale of assets which was not under the control of IDBD. IDBD has been keeping negotiations with financial creditors (bondholders) to restructure its financial debt in more favorable conditions.
As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate principal amount of the (i) IDBD Series 9 Bonds was NIS 901 million ("Series 9"),
- IDBD Series 14 Bonds was NIS 889 million collateralized by DIC shares owned directly or indirectly by us representing 70% of the share capital of DIC ("Series 14"), (iii) IDBD Series 15 Bonds was NIS 238million collateralized by shares of Clal representing 5% of the share capital of Clal ("Series 15").
On September 7, 2020, the Company reported that, regarding the capital contributions committed for September 2, 2020 and 2021, for NIS 70 million each, it considered that there were doubts regarding the fulfilment of the previous conditions established to make said contributions. Therefore, it has resolved not to make the corresponding payment for this year.
On September 17, 2020, the Series 9 trustee submitted to the District Court in Tel-Aviv-Jaffa (the "Court") a petition to grant an order for the opening of proceedings for IDBD pursuant to the Insolvency and Economic Rehabilitation Law, 5778 - 2018 and to instruct the appointment of a trustee for IDBD pursuant to Section 33 and to grant the trustee any and all authority over the decision making of IDBD as well as the request of an immediate hearing to open the proceedings against IDBD (the "Petition").
On September 21, 2020, the Series 14 trustee informed that the holders of Series 14 approved to make the entire uncleared balance of Series 14 repayable immediately.
On September 22, 2020, IDBD and Dolphin Netherlands B.V. submitted an initial response to the Petition, arguing that it was in the best interest of IDBD and its creditors to exhaust the negotiations among the controlling shareholder and its creditors during a short period with the aim to maximize the value of its assets, avoid costs and additional negative effects.
In addition, responses by the Series 14 trustee and the Series 15 trustee were filed requesting the enforcement of liens and the appointment of a receiver as well as an urgent hearing, which was scheduled for September 24, 2020.
On September 25, 2020, the Court resolved that IDBD is insolvent and has therefore resolved to grant all three orders requested and accordingly, issued an order for the initiation of proceedings and liquidation of IDBD, and has appointed a liquidator to IDBD and interim receivers over the Pledged DIC Shares and the Pledged Clal Shares. After this decision, the IDBD Board of Directors was removed from its functions, so the Group lost control on that date, proceeding to deconsolidate the financial statements.

EBITDA Reconciliation
In this summary report, we present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as profit for the period excluding:
- 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, excluding barter agreement results.
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:
For the three-month period ended September 30 (in ARS million)
2020 | 2019 | |
Result for the period | 7,526 | 9,492 |
Result from discontinued operations | 6,396 | -13,887 |

Net financial results | 2,504 | 18,251 |
Share of profit of associates and joint ventures | -134 | -870 |
Depreciation and amortization | 701 | 519 |

Brief comment on future prospects for the Fiscal Year
The year 2020 was dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in China and subsequently spread to numerous countries, generating volatility in the markets and in commodity prices, adversely impacting the global, Argentine and regional economy. Our agricultural operations continued their development normally as agricultural production was an essential activity to guarantee the supply of food.
The 2021 campaign is presented with radical changes from what was observed in the market at the end of the previous year. As of August, the United States reduced its sowing intention on the main crops and South America began to show indicators of lack of water. China activated its demand and this, added to the weakness of the dollar in the world, pushed the international prices of commodities upwards. Soybeans rose approximately 30% in the last year and corn 15%. The challenge will be in the climatic evolution in the region since planting began with some difficulties as a result of the "Niña" effect. If the weather is good and we achieve good agricultural yields, we expect a campaign with excellent results.
We also expect good results for the livestock activity driven by the Chinese demand for meat. Although production will also depend on climatic evolution, local farm prices have been growing steadily in recent months. We will continue to focus on improving productivity and controlling costs, working efficiently to achieve the highest possible operating margins. We will continue concentrating our production in our own farms, mainly in the Northwest of Argentina and consolidating our activity in Brazil.
Furthermore, as part of our business strategy, we will continue to sell the farms that have reached their highest level of appreciation in the region.
The urban properties and investments business, which we own through IRSA, presents challenges for the next quarter and 2021. The company's main shopping malls opened their doors in October and are working with strict protocols that include social distancing, reduced hours and flow, access controls, among other measures while hotels continue to be closed in the city of Buenos Aires. Gradual openings of the hotel business are expected in the coming months. IRSA continues to work on reducing and making the cost structure more efficient, hoping that the activity of shopping malls will evolve in accordance with the economic recovery. To date, although it is too early to evaluate a performance of the activity, we can perceive a gradual recovery in sales in our shopping malls, although progressive.
On the national and international framework above mentioned, the Board of Directors of the Company 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. Within the framework of this analysis, the indicated tools may be linked to corporate reorganization processes (merger, spin-off or a combination of both), implementation of financial and / or corporate efficiencies in international companies directly or indirectly owned by the Company through reorganization processes, disposal of assets in public and / or private form that may include real estate as well as negotiable securities owned by the Company, incorporation of shareholders through capital increases through the public offering of shares to attract new capital, repurchase of shares and instruments similar to those described that are useful to the proposed objectives. All this as described in the Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.
The Company keeps its commitment to preserve the health and well-being of its clients, employees, tenants and the entire population, constantly reassessing its decisions in accordance with the evolution of events, the regulations that are issued and the guidelines of the competent authorities.
