Lorena Wright's questions to Arcos Dorados Holdings (ARCO) leadership

Question · Q2 2025

Lorena Wright from Luker Analytics asked about the amount paid for the St. Maarten acquisition and requested more detail on the $106 million acquisition of short-term investments shown in the cash flow statement.

Answer

CFO Mariano Tannenbaum clarified that the cash payment for the rights to St. Maarten was not a material sum. He explained that the $106 million in short-term investments were simply time deposits with top-tier banks, executed to minimize the carry cost of funds raised from the company's latest bond issuance in January.
