HIGHLIGHTS

• Adjusted EBITDA for the three-month period of FY 2019 was ARS 3,048 million (ARS 855 million from Argentina Business Center and ARS 2,193 million from Israel Business Center), increasing by 31% with respect to the same period of FY 2018.
      
• The net result for the period recorded a gain of ARS 11,084 million compared to a gain of ARS 74 million in the same period of fiscal year 2018, mainly explained by higher results due to changes in the fair value of investment properties in Argentina Business Center and higher results from our investment in CLAL in Israel Business Center, valued at market value.
       
• Adjusted EBITDA of the rental segments in Argentina grew by 31.3% compared to the same period of previous fiscal year, mainly driven by the office and hotel businesses, which have income in dollars, partially offset by an 11% growth in the shopping malls business.
      
• We reached 98.7% occupancy in shopping centers, 93.4% in offices and 64.5% in our hotel portfolio.
