9. Investment properties

Changes in the Group’s investment properties according to the fair value hierarchy for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

The following is the balance by type of investment property of the Group as of June 30, 2025 and 2024:

Certain investment property assets of the Group have been mortgaged or restricted to secure some of the Group’s trade and other payables. The net book value of those properties as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

The following amounts have been recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income and Other Comprehensive Income:

See note 5 (liquidity schedule) for details of contractual commitments related to investment properties.

Valuation processes 

The Group’s investment properties were valued at each reporting date by independent professionally qualified appraisers who hold a recognized relevant professional qualification and have experience in the locations and segments of the investment properties appraised. For all investment properties, their current use equates to the highest and best use.

The Group has a team which reviews the appraisals performed by the independent appraisers (the “review team”).  The review team: i) verifies all major and important assumptions relevant to the appraisal in the valuation report from the independent appraisers; ii) assesses property valuation movements compared to the valuation report from the prior period; and iii) holds discussions with the independent appraisers.

Changes in Level 2 and 3 fair values, if any, are analyzed at each reporting date during the valuation discussions between the review team and the independent appraisers. The Board of Directors ultimately approves the fair value calculation for recording into the Financial Statements.

During the annual investment property valuation process carried out in previous years, the following circumstances were identified, among other aspects: i) entry into force of the modifications in the urban planning code of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) with the new urban code law sanctioned in November 2020 and which entered into force in February 2021 modifying approximately one third of the current code, ii) new construction potential, iii) consolidation of new paradigms of the sector imposed by the pandemic, the general economic situation and the situation of the real estate sector that make technical, legal or economically viable buildable potentials or surpluses for alternative uses of the entire portfolio of properties. Additionally, the amendments introduced in the new Urban Planning Code of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA), which came into effect on January 1, 2025, were taken into consideration.

In this sense, the shopping malls were the most affected by the aforementioned circumstances, taking into account the size of their plots and their unique and strategic locations, considering an alternative potential realization market.

The impact of the pandemic and the long-term closure of shopping malls led to a reconsideration of the possibility of mixed uses in the buildable potentials of such shopping malls, seeking a new centrality and enhancing the attractiveness in replacement of anchor stores.

On the other hand, the analysis of opening towards its surroundings and the generation of open spaces produced a new distribution of the value of the existing square meters, producing a change of focus on how to maximize said surplus square meters.

This led to reevaluate the analysis of the value of surplus square meters that were potentially marketable, (being that historically they were the most profitable), to reconvert them to other complementary uses. The buildable potentials analyzed have unique, irreplaceable locations, with high potentials, feasible realization and very attractive from an economic point of view, this vision remains to this day.

The identified buildable potentials, identified in previous years and that remain in the current year, are included in the value of the investment property based on the methodology established for other Level 2 properties:

1. Patio Bullrich, CABA

2. Alto Palermo, CABA

3. Córdoba Shopping, Córdoba

4. Beruti 3345/47, (Corner of Coronel Diaz), CABA.

Valuation techniques used for the estimation of fair value of the investment property

The Group has defined valuation techniques according to the characteristics of each property and the type of market in which these assets are located, for the purpose of considering the use of the most observable information available for the determination of fair value.

For the Shopping Malls operated by the Group there is no liquid market for the sale of properties with these characteristics that can be taken as a reference of value. Likewise, the Shopping Malls, a business whose revenue is denominated in Argentine Pesos, are highly related to the fluctuation of macroeconomic variables in Argentina, the purchasing power of individuals, the economic cycle of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, the evolution of inflation and consumption, among others. Consequently, the methodology adopted by the Group for the valuation of Shopping Malls is the discounted cash flow model (“DCF”), which allows the volatility of the Argentine economy to be taken into account and its correlation with the revenue streams of the Malls and the inherent risk of the Argentine macroeconomy. The DCF methodology contemplates the use of certain unobservable valuation assumptions, which are determined based on the information and internal sources available at the date of each measurement. These assumptions mainly include the following:

a) United State Governments Bonds risk-free rate;

b) Market risk premium in the United States.

c) Industry beta or volatility, considering comparable companies from the United States, Brazil, Chile and Mexico, in order to contemplate the Market Risk on the risk-free rate;

d) Argentine country risk considering the average yield spread of a representative set of corporate bonds issued by Argentine companies with a credit quality similar to the Company, and 10-year U.S. Treasuries.;

e) Cost of debt and capital structure, considering that information available from the Argentine corporate market (“blue chips”) was determined as a reference, since sovereign bonds have a history of defaults. Consequently, and because IRSA, based on its representativeness and market share represents the most important entity in the sector, we have taken its relevant indicators to determine the discount rate; and

f) local income tax rate.

Due to the debt restructuring carried out during previous fiscal periods, which affected the composition of the group's capital structure, the use of two different discount rates was introduced in the valuation of our shopping malls: one for the flows discount and another for perpetuity. Here is the difference between the two:

The introduction of the normalized rate in perpetuity is due to the fact that we consider that the relationship between debt and capital would tend to normalize in the long term.

For offices, other rental properties, plot of lands and buildable potentials the valuation was determined using transactions of comparable market assets, since the market for these assets in Argentina is liquid and has market transactions that can be taken as reference. These values are adjusted to reflect differences in key attributes such as location, property size and quality of interior fittings (incidence adjustments). The most significant input to the comparable market approach is the price per square meter that derives from the supply and demand in force in the market at each valuation date.

Since September 2019, the real estate market has faced certain changes in terms of its operation as a consequence of the implementation of regulations applicable to the foreign exchange market. Since that date, strict exchange controls have been in effect in Argentina, which limit, among other things: buying foreign currency in order to form external assets, prepaying debts, the purchase of foreign currency to pay for imports, making remittances of profits and dividends abroad and transferring funds abroad. However, as of April 2025, such foreign exchange controls were almost entirely eliminated for individuals and reduced for the payment of imports, dividends generated from fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2025, and interest payments on financial debt with related parties

As a consequence of these exchange regulations, it is observed that the purchase and sales transactions for office buildings, other rental properties, land reserves, and buildable potentials may be settled in Argentine Pesos or in dollars. In this way, the most probable scenario is that any sale of the aforementioned assets be settled in Argentine Pesos at an implicit foreign exchange rate higher than the official one. This is evidenced by the transactions consummated by the Group, both in the current fiscal year and in prior years. Therefore, and given that the previously described situation remains in effect as of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group has valued its office buildings, land reserves and buildable potentials in Argentine Pesos at the end of the year considering the situation described above, considering an implicit exchange rate higher than the official one.  

In certain situations, it is complex to determine reliably the fair value of developing properties. In order to assess whether the fair value of a developing property can be determined reliably, management considers the following factors, among others:

There were no changes in the valuation techniques during the year.
