BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. (NASDAQ: CRESY, BYMA: CRES), leading Argentine agricultural company, announces today its results for the third quarter of FY 2026 ended March 31, 2026.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Net income for the nine-month period of FY2026 recorded a gain of ARS 231,308 million, compared to a gain of ARS 77,358 million in the same period of FY2025, mainly driven by the operating performance of the Urban Properties and Investments business (IRSA).
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the period reached ARS 202,839 million, 12.0% below the same period of FY2025. Adjusted EBITDA from the agribusiness segments was a gain of ARS 13,646 million, while the Urban Properties and Investments segment (through IRSA) recorded a gain of ARS 214,587 million.
  • The 2026 campaign is progressing under generally favorable weather conditions, except in some regions where BrasilAgro operates, amid rising international commodity prices and higher input costs. We planted 311,000 hectares across the region, 4.2% above the previous campaign.
  • Argentina recorded solid grain production results, with record wheat production and strong development of summer crops —soybeans and corn— supporting good yields and production levels. Meanwhile, BrasilAgro faces a more challenging environment, impacted by adverse weather events in certain regions, tighter margins in some crops, and a lower contribution from sugarcane.
  • Livestock activity continues to benefit from firm cattle prices, supported by international demand and a strong local market, allowing for solid production margins.
  • Subsequent to quarter-end, we issued Series LII and LIII notes in the local market for a total amount of USD 64.2 million, reducing the company’s average financing cost.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Books-A-Million is proud to participate in Better Basics Reads, the largest annual volunteer initiative led by education nonprofit Better Basics, bringing the joy of reading to thousands of students across the Birmingham metro area.

On Thursday, May 7, Books-A-Million associates will join hundreds of community volunteers to read in classrooms throughout Birmingham City Schools, helping inspire a love of literacy among young learners. The one-day event is part of a broader, multi-district campaign reaching more than 14,000 students across 42 partner schools.

In support of this effort, Books-A-Million is also making a $30,000 donation to Better Basics to help expand access to books and literacy programming for students across the region.

Formerly known as Birmingham Reads, the Better Basics Reads program mobilizes more than 700 volunteer readers annually, who each spend time reading and engaging in discussion with students in Pre-K through fifth-grade classrooms. The initiative underscores the critical role literacy plays in academic success and lifelong opportunity.

“Research tells us that having books in the home is the single greatest predictor of a child’s academic success,” said Catherine Goudreau, Executive Director of Better Basics. “Putting books into the hands of children is woven into everything we do and Better Basics Reads is the moment we invite the whole community to be part of that effort.”

This year’s program includes participation from Birmingham City Schools, Fairfield City Schools, Bessemer City Schools, i3 Academy, Restoration Academy, and new partner districts Tarrant City Schools and Legacy Prep. Volunteers from across the community—including local organizations, civic leaders, and guest readers—will dedicate time to fostering enthusiasm for reading among students.

For Books-A-Million, headquartered in Birmingham, the initiative reflects a longstanding commitment to literacy, education, and community engagement.

“At Books-A-Million, we believe books have the power to change lives,” said Olivia McDaniel, Vice President of Marketing at Books-A-Million. “Birmingham isn’t just part of our home state—it’s where we’re headquartered, and it’s a community we’re deeply proud to serve. Participating in Better Basics Reads is a meaningful way for us to give back, connect with local students, and help spark a lifelong love of reading.”

In addition to volunteer efforts, Better Basics Reads includes book distributions to ensure students have access to reading materials beyond the classroom—an essential component in building strong literacy skills.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 7, 2026 /3BL/ – In the wake of recent hurricanes that have left lasting impacts across western North Carolina, Truist Charitable Fund is helping communities take an important step toward recovery one tree at a time. Through a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, residents in impacted areas can now reserve free trees to replant, restore, and rebuild the natural spaces that make their communities feel like home.

These trees will help grow hope and renewal in the wake of disaster, while also providing a range of other benefits to the community including cleaner air and cooler neighborhoods, improved stormwater management, and fostering local resilience.

“For many families, trees are more than just part of the landscape – they’re tied to memories, comfort, and a sense of place,” said Kristen Bousquet, Senior Partnerships Manager at the Arbor Day Foundation. “This initiative is about helping communities heal and move forward, restoring not just tree canopy, but a sense of normalcy and hope.”

Residents can reserve their free trees at getarborday.org/truist. Through a simple online experience, participants can choose trees suited for their property and receive guidance on where to plant them for the greatest long-term benefit. Each household may reserve up to 5 trees, with delivery direct to doorsteps for ease and inclusivity. The program will continue until all 4,400 trees have been claimed.

Powered by research from the USDA Forest Service and developed in partnership with the Davey Institute, the Arbor Day Foundation’s platform ensures each tree is planted in the right place for long-term success, supporting recovery efforts that will be felt for generations.

Truist is steadfast in its purpose to inspire and build better lives and communities, and in 2024 announced “Truist Cares for Western North Carolina,” a three-year, $725 million commitment to support critical needs in Western North Carolina as communities impacted by Hurricane Helene recover and rebuild. For more information on this initiative, visit truist.com/TruistCares.

About the Truist Charitable Fund

The Truist Charitable Fund (“TCF”) is committed to Truist Financial Corporation’s (NYSE: TFC) purpose to inspire and build better lives. TCF was established as a donor-advised fund and invests in local community organizations, focusing on grants that support initiatives and programs in the areas of educational opportunity, leadership development, and community services. To learn more about Truist’s purpose, visit truist.com/purpose.

About the Arbor Day Foundation

The Arbor Day Foundation is a global nonprofit inspiring people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. They foster a growing community of more than 1 million leaders, innovators, planters, and supporters united by their bold belief that a more hopeful future can be shaped through the power of trees. For more than 50 years, they’ve answered critical need with action, planting more than half a billion trees alongside their partners. And this is only the beginning.

The Arbor Day Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit pursuing a future where all life flourishes through the power of trees. Learn more at arborday.org.

Residents can reserve their free trees at getarborday.org/truist. Through a simple online experience, participants can choose trees suited for their property and receive guidance on where to plant them for the greatest long-term benefit. Each household may reserve up to 5 trees, with delivery direct to doorsteps for ease and inclusivity. The program will continue until all 4,400 trees have been claimed.

Powered by research from the USDA Forest Service and developed in partnership with the Davey Institute, the Arbor Day Foundation’s platform ensures each tree is planted in the right place for long-term success, supporting recovery efforts that will be felt for generations.

Truist is steadfast in its purpose to inspire and build better lives and communities, and in 2024 announced “Truist Cares for Western North Carolina,” a three-year, $725 million commitment to support critical needs in Western North Carolina as communities impacted by Hurricane Helene recover and rebuild.
