Advertising revenues showed a strong recovery, increasing by 21% year-over-year in the second quarter, marking the third consecutive interannual increase.
The company achieved a marked improvement in EBITDA and margin, driven by school textbook sales and higher circulation and advertising revenues.

Negative

The Argentine economy remains challenging, with persistent risks related to fiscal pressures, exchange rate dynamics, and political uncertainties.
Despite revenue growth, the company faces higher negative net financial results due to a negative inflation adjustment result compared to the previous year.
The current account showed a larger than expected deterioration with a deficit of more than $2.7 billion, partly due to real appreciation under the previous crawling peg system.
Households' disposable income remains constrained as real wages have not risen enough to offset the higher cost of living.
