Mallplaza Q2 EBITDA Rises 9.6% as Half-Year Profit Falls

Chilean mall operator Mallplaza reported that second-quarter 2026 EBITDA rose 9.6% and quarterly revenue grew 8.7% year on year. Chile’s Mallplaza said second-quarter 2026 EBITDA rose 9.6% on higher revenue, even as first-half net profit fell about 35%, a gap the mall operator attributed to accounting effects rather than weaker operations. Why Profit Fell Despite Higher EBITDAMallplaza’s chief financial officer said the net result incorporates accounting effects that do not necessarily reflect operating performance. The near-term question is whether the accounting effects that dented profit reverse or persist in the second half. Management attributed the decline to accounting effects that do not necessarily reflect operating performance, against a strong prior-year base.
