BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Nov. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. (NASDAQ: CRESY, BASE: CRES), today announces results for the First Quarter Fiscal Year 2014 ended September 30, 2013.

HIGHLIGHTS

• During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 a net loss of ARS 89.0 million was recorded, explained mainly by exchange rate differences and higher financial charges.
• Operating income reached ARS 161.6 million, 8.4% lower than in the first quarter of 2013, mainly due to higher operating losses in the main segments of the agricultural business, offset by higher results from the urban business.
• The grains and sugarcane segments saw a fall in the fair value of biological assets due to the prior recognition of higher yields than those actually recorded, whereas the beef cattle segment was impacted by higher feeding costs resulting from the drought experienced in Salta.
• At the start of this season, weather conditions are normal, and our farms in Salta and Paraguay are recovering from the past drought conditions.
• During this season we expect to plant 207,000 hectares and to transform approximately 17,300 hectares in the region.
• The shareholders' meeting held on October 31, past approved the payment of a cash dividend for ARS 120.0 million (ARS 0.2417 per share and ARS 2.417 per ADR).
