In a scenario of macroeconomic stability, Arcor posted a profit of $58,583 million.

That result, which corresponds to the first half of the year, represents 5.9% of sales, in line with the multinational's historical performance

In a context where Argentina's main economic indicators show signs of stabilization, the Córdoba company Arcor closed the first half of the year with a net profit of $58.583 billion and consolidated sales of $2.14 trillion, maintaining an operating margin of 5.9%.

This result marks a turning point in the company's financial trajectory: unlike atypical periods characterized by abrupt distortions in variables such as inflation or the exchange rate, the current outlook is marked by greater predictability.

This normalization allows for a more accurate reading of the business essentials.

Key factors explaining Arcor's performance in the first half of 2025

Vertical integration and diversification model: Arcor attributes its ability to sustain operating profitability—close to 6% of sales—to effective vertical integration, cost control, and diversification both by product and by geographic market.

Normalization of macroeconomic variables: The company's statement highlights that the environment is marked by a slowdown in inflation and moderate adjustments in the exchange rate, which contribute to greater financial stability.

Negative but sustainable financial result: Unlike the previous year, when inflation far exceeded devaluation—producing extraordinarily positive financial results—this semester the financial result was negative ($39.329 billion).

Nevertheless, this negative result is interpreted within a normalization of monetary trends, rather than as an alarm signal.

Debt reprofiling in a more stable environment: In July, Arcor refinanced debt through a bond issuance of US$350 million, with maturities in 2031–2033 at a rate of 7.60%.

This operation allowed the company to cancel short-term credit lines, strengthening the financial structure in a context with more predictable exchange rates.
