IRSA’s shopping malls provide most of its revenue. Retailers pay for space and services, with rent generally set at the higher of a monthly base amount or a share of each store’s sales. Most base rents adjust with inflation. This ties income both to keeping space leased and collecting rent, and to how much shoppers spend. Most mall revenue comes from Buenos Aires and its surrounding metropolitan area, where all of IRSA’s office buildings are also located.
Beyond renting commercial space, IRSA develops apartments and prepares land with roads and utilities, then sells apartments or homebuilding plots to buyers. It also exchanges undeveloped land for finished units that it can sell, without taking part in construction. Its hotels, including Llao Llao, Libertador and Intercontinental, earn money from rooms, catering and restaurants.
The business depends on tenants’ ability to pay and on Argentine consumer demand. Property development also needs financing and government approvals; some land is not zoned for IRSA’s intended use. Argentina’s exchange controls can limit access to foreign currency and transfers abroad, including payments on foreign-currency debt.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
IRSA’s results hinge chiefly on Argentine retail spending, rents and property valuations; its principal shopping-mall competitor, Cencosud, is absent from this list.
Cresud SA owns approximately 54.1% of IRSA, consolidating IRSA’s Argentine malls, offices, developments and hotels alongside its own farm production, farmland leasing and sales business. For IRSA holders, watch any sale of that stake: IRSA warns that large disposals would likely hurt its share and GDS prices.
MercadoLibre is a substantial rent-paying customer of IRSA’s office business: as of June 30, 2025, it leased approximately 91% of the 32,173-square-meter Zetta building in Buenos Aires. The online-commerce company earns fees from transactions and related services and sells its own merchandise; its use of Zetta office space is the direct link to watch for IRSA’s rental revenue.
ARCOS DORADOS HOLDINGS INC. connects IRSA to spending at McDonald’s restaurants: it operates the chain in Argentina, and McDonald’s ranks among IRSA’s five largest mall tenants by sales. Arcos Dorados earns money from diners and franchisee rents; watch sales at McDonald’s stores in IRSA malls, where tenant rent generally depends on the higher of base rent or a share of store sales, though anchor tenants can negotiate different terms.

IRSA earns much of its revenue from mall rent and services; this report will show whether lease-based base rent is growing and tenants’ sales are adding more contingent rent.
Read shopping-mall base rent alongside contingent rent, which rises when tenants’ sales generate rent above the base amount. If both hold up or grow, lease terms and tenant sales are supporting mall income. If base rent grows but contingent rent falls, leases are providing support while tenant sales may be weakening. If both weaken, tenant business or leasing is under pressure.
ARCOS DORADOS HOLDINGS INC. earningsARCO
ARCOS DORADOS HOLDINGS INC. operates McDonald’s restaurants in Argentina, and its report will show whether spending at this major IRSA mall tenant is supporting sales-linked rent.
Look at restaurant sales in Argentina and what the company says about customer spending. Stronger sales would indicate firmer demand at McDonald’s stores and could support more sales-linked rent for IRSA; weaker sales would put that source of rent under pressure, though the lease’s base-rent floor may still provide support.
