CHAPTER 2: Semi-Annual Report by the Board of Directors for the period 1.1.2024 - 30.6.2024

The current Semi-Annual Management Report by the Board of Directors (hereinafter for the sake of brevity the "Report" or "Semi-Annual Report"), refers to the period of the first half of the current financial year 2024 (01.01.2024 - 30.06.2024) was prepared and is in line with the relevant provisions of article 5, Law 3556/2007 (Government Gazette 91Α/30.04.2007) and the relevant, as stated by law, executive decisions issued by the Hellenic Capital Market Commission and specifically Decisions No. 1/434/03.07.2007 and 8/754/14.04.2016, as the latter continues to be in force to date following its amendment by the decision of the Board of Directors with number 12A / 889 / 31.08.2020 of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission.

The present Report includes in synopsis, but also in an essential and comprehensive manner, all significant sub-sections required, according to the above legislative framework, and depicts in true and precise manner all the relevant by law information, so as to create an essential and in depth sum of information for the activities during the period under consideration of the Societe Anonyme under the name "FLEXOPACK SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PLASTICS COMPANY" (which in the current Report will be called for the sake of brevity as "Company" or "FLEXOPACK") as well as of FLEXOPACK Group.

References to non-consolidated financial data in the following analysis are made in specific points deemed reasonable or necessary by the Company's Management, for the better understanding of the Report's contents as well as for the most effective information provided to the investor community.

The sub-sections of the Report and the contents of such are as follows:

SECTION Α΄

The significant events that occurred during the first half of the current financial year 2024 and any impact of theirs on the semi-annual Financial Statements of the above mentioned period have as

follows:

1. Annual Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting of the Company

On 21st June 2024, the Annual Ordinary General Meeting of the Company's Shareholders was held at the corporate headquarters (Koropi, Attica, Tzima location, 37 Hephaestus Street), which was attended in person or by a representative, by shareholders representing 9,675,400 common registered shares and equal number of voting rights, i.e. a high quorum percentage of 82.18% out of the total 11,772,774 shares and equal number of voting rights of the Company.

It is noted that for 96,450 common, registered shares the representation and voting rights had been suspended, according to the provisions of article 50, paragraph 1, section A of Law 4548/2018, in the sense that they constitute own (treasury) shares of the Company and therefore the particular shares were not calculated for the formation of a quorum.

The Annual General Meeting of the Company's shareholders proceeded with the following decisions on the subjects of the daily agenda, as these decisions are presented based on the results of the voting process per agenda item, in accordance with the provisions of article 133, paragraph 2 of Law 4548/2018. The results of the voting process have also been posted on the legally registered website of the Company (http://www.flexopack .com).

With regard to the 1st issue, the General Meeting unanimously approved the Annual Financial Statements (separate and consolidated) relating to the financial year 2023 (01.01.2023 - 31.12.2023) and, in overall, the annual Financial Report for that year, which was prepared in accordance with the provisions of the current regulatory framework and the requirements of the European Single Electronic Format and was published by the Company on the latter's legally registered webpage in GEMI (General Electronic Commercial Registry) (http://www.flexopack.com ), and via dispatch to the website of the Organized Market where the Company's shares are traded (http://www.athexgroup.gr ), as well as to the Hellenic Capital Market Commission.

With regard to the 2nd issue, the Meeting unanimously approved the annual Management Report of the Board of Directors, which is entirely included in the Minutes of the Company's Board of Directors of 23rd April 2024, as well as the Audit Report as of 24th April 2024, of the Chartered Auditor-Accountant of the Company, Mr. Eleftherios Koutsopoulos (SOEL Registration Number 44651), regarding the annual financial statements relating to the financial year 2023 (01.01.2023-31.12.2023).

With regard to the 3rd issue, for which no resolution was required, the Company submitted and presented to the Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with the provisions of article 44 paragraph 1, section h' of Law 4449/2017, as it is valid after its amendment by the article 74, paragraph 4 of Law 4706/2020, the Annual Report of the Audit Committee for the financial year 2023 (01.01.2023-

31.12.2023), in order to fully, adequately and thoroughly inform the shareholders regarding the work of the Committee during the closing financial year.

With regard to the 4th issue, the Meeting unanimously approved the allocation and distribution of the results of the financial year ended 31.12.2023 and in particular approved on the one hand the formation of the Company's ordinary and special reserves and on the other hand the distribution (payment) to the shareholders of the Company of a total amount of 1,765,916.10 Euros (gross amount), i.e. amount of 0.15 Euros per share (gross amount) from the earnings of the closing year 2023 (01.01.2023-31.12.2023). From the above amount, meaning the dividend paid, the proportional tax of 5% had been withheld and therefore the total amount of the dividend settled at 0.1425 Euro per share.

It is noted that 96,450 treasury shares held by the Company were excluded from the payment of dividend and consequently the amount of dividend corresponding to the treasury shares increased the above dividend of all other shares in accordance with the article 50 of Law 4548/2018.

Beneficiaries of the above dividend were appointed the shareholders of the Company registered in the files of the Dematerialized Securities System (DSS) on Wednesday, July 3, 2024 (record date).

Dividend cut-off date was set for Tuesday, July 2, 2024, in accordance with the article 5.2 of the Athens Exchange Regulation.

The payment of dividend started on Monday, July 8, 2024 and was carried out by Societe Anonyme Banking Company "NATIONAL BANK OF GREECE SA", based on the procedure provided by the Regulation of the Athens Exchange, Greece.

With this unanimous decision, the General Meeting of Shareholders granted the Company's Board of Directors the required authorizations for the appropriate and timely implementation of the decision concerning the distribution (payment) of a dividend.

Finally, with this majority decision, the General Meeting of Shareholders approved the paymentgranting of fees from the profit of the year in accordance with article 109, paragraph 2 of Law 4548/2018, towards the members of the Board of Directors (excluding its independent non-executive members), since the above entitled persons with their intense, systematic and constant actions contributed substantially and decisively to a stronger extroversion for the Group, to the promotion of the Company's business purposes and plans, to the implementation of the Group's international investment plan, to the achievement of a wider recognition, as well as to the improvement of the financial performance and financial ratios of both the Company and the Group, despite the negative external environment.

With regard to the 5th issue, the Meeting unanimously approved, following a voting process from the shareholders based on name, the general administration performed by the members of the Board of Directors during the year ended on 31.12.2023 and the discharge of the Auditors of the Company

from any liability stemming from their actions and the overall management of the closing financial year of 2023 (01.01.2023-31.12.2023), as well as of the annual financial statements of that year.

With regard to the 6th issue, the Meeting approved unanimously and following the relevant proposal of the Audit Committee, the election of "Grant Thornton AUDITING FIRM CERTIFIED AUDITORS AND CONSULTANTS SOCIETE ANONYME", registered in the Public Registry of article 14, Law 4449/2017 (SOEL Registration Number 127), for the ordinary audit of the annual and semi-annual financial statements (separate and consolidated) of the Company for the financial year 2024 (01.01.2024 - 31.12.2024). It is noted that the above Auditing Firm will also undertake the process of issuing the annual tax certificate and the tax compliance report of the Company for the year 2024, in accordance with the provisions of article 65A of Law 4174/2013.

Finally, with this unanimous decision, the General Meeting of Shareholders granted the Board of Directors the relevant authorization to enter into a definitive agreement with the aforementioned Audit Firm regarding the fees required for the audit in relation to the current financial year as well as for the issuance of the tax certificate. The Board of Directors was also authorized to send to the elected Auditing Company the respective written notification-order within five (5) days from the date of the above election.

With regard to the 7th issue, the General Meeting by majority approved the remuneration, compensation and overall benefits paid and / or granted to the members (executive and nonexecutive ones) of the Board of Directors for the services provided to the Company and for their participation in the latter's management during the closing fiscal year 2023 (01.01.2023-31.12.2023) in accordance with the approved and effective Remuneration Policy.

With regard to the 8th issue, the General Meeting by majority approved the Remuneration Policy Report of the financial year 2023 (01.01.2023 - 31.12.2023), which was prepared in accordance with the provisions of article 112 of Law 4548/2018 and contains a comprehensive overview of the total remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors (executive and non-executive), including the Chief Executive and also provides explanation on the manner with which the Company implemented the respective Remuneration Policy for the immediately preceding financial year.

With regard to the 9th issue, the Meeting by majority approved the remuneration, salaries, compensations and other benefits in general, which will be paid to the members of the Board of Directors during the current fiscal year 2024 (01.01.2024 - 31.12.2024), which are in harmonization and compliance with the approved and current Remuneration Policy of the Company, while with the same unanimous decision it provided the relevant permission for advance payment of such fees to the above persons for the period until the next Ordinary General Meeting, in accordance with the provisions of article 109 of Law 4548/2018, as in force.

With regard to the 10th issue, the Meeting unanimously approved the provision of authorization, in accordance with article 98 paragraph 1 of L. 4548/2018, to the members of the Board of Directors

and the Managers of the Company to participate in the Board of Directors or the Management of Group Companies (existing and / or future), which pursue the same, related or similar purposes and to perform actions related to the business objectives of the Company.

With regard to the 11th issue, in relation to which no decision was made, the Independent Non-Executive BoD Members' Report was submitted to the body of shareholders for the financial year of 2023 (01.01.2023 - 31.12.2023), in accordance with the provisions of article 9, paragraph 5 of Law 4706/2020, and was read accordingly.

2. Establishment of a share distribution Program to the members of the Company's Board of Directors, managers and other executives, in the form of a Stock Option Plan

The Board of Directors of the Company, during its meeting on June 12th, 2024 and following the authorization provided by the Annual Ordinary General Meeting of shareholders on June 16th, 2023, proceeded to establish a new plan for distribution of shares to the members of the Board of Directors, the managers and top executives of the Company, in the form of stock options (rights) to acquire shares. The above are in accordance with the current regulatory framework and specifically with the provisions of article 113 of Law 4548/2018.

The maximum number of shares that can be granted under the above stock option plan is 83,400 shares.

The plan consists of granting stock options to the participants, in order for the latter to acquire shares of the Company through their participation in a share capital increase at a fixed offering price, set at three (3.00) Euros per stock option.

June 30th, 2026 was set as the maturity date of the rights.

The exercise of stock options and the deposit that must be made by the beneficiary of these rights will take place from 30.06.2026 to 20.07.2026. The Company will notify in time the beneficiaries of the corresponding bank account of the Company.

In order to exercise the rights, a prior written notification of the beneficiary's intention to exercise the relevant right is required by March 31st, 2026, i.e. three (3) months before the above maturity date.

In accordance with the article 113, paragraph 3 of Law 4548/2018 after the exercise of stock options by the participants, the Board of Directors will issue and distribute the shares to the beneficiaries and will take a respective decision in relation to the Company's share capital increase by an amount equivalent to the value emerging from the rights that have been exercised. The Board of Directors will also take a relevant decision with regard to the certification of payment of the Company's share capital increase.

With the decision of the Company's Board of Directors dated 20/06/2024, the beneficiaries were defined in accordance with the specific provisions of the Plan and the options were granted corresponding to 83,400 shares of the Company.

On 2 February 2024, the competent Authority approved the alteration of the name of the subsidiary company based in Belgrade, Serbia, from "FLEXOSYSTEMS DOO BEOGRAD" to "FLEXOPACK TRADE AND SERVICES DOO BEOGRAD". The above amendment was decided in the context of the further harmonization of the Group's subsidiary companies and strengthening of their recognition.

4. Loan granting by «FLEXOPACK INTERNATIONAL LIMITED» to its subsidiary «FLEXOPACK PROPERTIES PTY LTD».

Following the share capital increase carried out by FLEXOPACK to its subsidiary «FLEXOPACK INTERNATIONAL LIMITED» for a total amount of nine million euros (9,000,000) which was decided in July 2023, for the sole purpose of the further financing of its subsidiary «FLEXOPACK PROPERTIES PTY LTD» based in Brisbane of Australia, in order for the latter to use this financing to proceed with the construction of a new industrial building in Australia, a loan was concluded in June 2024 and it was granted to the latter for a total amount of fourteen million AUD (14,000,000).

SECTION Β΄

Major risks and uncertainties

Given its strong export activities and particularly its high extrovert strategy for many years now, the Group tends to operate within an intense competitive international environment. The Group's general activities are associated with multidimensional financial and other risks, including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit and liquidity risk. The basic risk management policies that the Group applies during the performance of its business activity are timely, duly and diligently determined via the most suitable and appropriate measures taken by its Management, in collaboration with the recommendation and assistance of the Company's Audit Committee. The overall risk management plan of the Group focuses on the fluctuations of the financial markets and aims to mitigate and also minimize the potential adverse effects of these fluctuations on the financial performance and results of the Group as a whole.

The Group's financial assets and financial liabilities mainly consist of cash & cash equivalents, trade receivables, loans and other receivables, bank loans, lease liabilities as well as liabilities towards suppliers and related liabilities.

The Board of Directors is responsible for the effective and continuous monitoring of the Group's exposure to business risks and in this context it acts with the aim of ensuring stability while at the same time facilitating the uninterrupted continuation of operations along with the further development and strengthening of the Company.

The Management is responsible for the implementation of the Business Risk Management System in the entire spectrum of the daily life of the Company and broadly of the Group. In particular, the Management is responsible for the systematic identification and evaluation of risks that affect business activities and in addition, oversees the formulation and timely implementation of risk management plans.

It regularly evaluates, along with the assistance of the Audit Committee, the effectiveness and the need to adjust the above risk management plans to achieve optimal management of such risks.

I. Financial risks

The most common financial risks which the Group is exposed to are the following:

Α. Exchange Rate Risk

The Group operates on a global level and realizes transactions in foreign currency, mainly: a) in U.S. dollar (U.S.D.), b) in Polish zloty (PLN), c) in Australian dollar (AUD) and in British Pound (GBP).

The Group's exposure to foreign exchange risk mainly emerges from existing or expected cash flows in foreign currency (exports-imports), as well as from investments in foreign countries under a

different currency (other than Euro) whose equity is exposed to exchange rate risk during the translation of their financial statements for consolidation purposes.

The foreign exchange risk that emanates from transactions in foreign currency according to the above is effectively hedged with the use of placements in foreign exchange futures, depending on the needs each time. As at 30/6/2024, the Group did not held any foreign exchange futures instruments.

The Group monitors on constant basis the movements of the above exchange rates. The particular risk, as consequence of the broader uncertainty that exists in the global environment which has an unavoidable impact on the fluctuation of exchange rates, is still present and may affect to a significant extent the results of the Group during the second half of the current financial year 2024.

Β. Credit risk

Credit risk is the possibility that a counterparty will cause financial loss to the Group and the Company in particular, due to the breach or even the violation of its contractual obligations.

The maximum credit risk to which the Group and the Company are exposed, at the date of preparation of the financial statements, is the book value of their financial assets.

At the preparation date of the present Report, the Group does not face any significant credit risk. Trade receivables stem from a wide and significantly dispersed client base, both from Greece and mainly from abroad. The Group's turnover mainly consists of transactions with reliable and creditworthy firms and companies in general, with most of which it sustains a long-term collaboration and long-term relation of mutual trust in the majority of cases.

It should be noted that the Group has established and applies systematically but also timely credit control procedures that aim at minimizing the existing bad debt. The Credit Control Department defines/sets credit limits per customer and specific sales and cash collection terms are applied, while possible security is requested when deemed necessary. To the greatest possible extent, the Group continuously and systematically monitors the performance and financial position of each customer, even very closely, in order to be pro-active and to evaluate the need to take specific and required measures per customer, according to the characteristics and difficulties of the market environment where each customer activates in.

No doubtful debtors exist that have not been covered by provisions for doubtful receivables.

It is also noted that the particular risk, although existent mainly due to the repercussions of the ongoing international uncertainty and instability as a result of the war conflicts occurring across the globe (on the one hand the war in Ukraine, and on the other hand the uncertainty in the broader Middle East region), is considered for the time being as relatively limited and controllable according to the historic evidence and data possessed by the Group and in the context of the precautionary measures that have been taken as well as the procedures that have been established.

It is noted that the potential credit risk exists in cash and cash equivalents as well.

The particular risk may arise from a possible inability of the collaborating financial institution to meet its obligations towards the Group. For this purpose, the Group applies the proper and required procedures that limit its exposure to credit risk in relation to each financial institution which the Group collaborates with.

C. Liquidity risk

In general, the monitoring of liquidity risk is focused on systematic monitoring and effectively managing cash inflows and outflows on a constant basis, in order for the Group to be able to smoothly and consistently meet its cash liabilities.

Liquidity risk is maintained at low levels on the preparation date of the present Report by holding and ensuring adequate cash balances, while it should also be noted that there are adequate unused credit lines with financial institutions in order to face any possible and temporary shortage in cash. Such case however, despite the especially negative circumstances and conditions particularly seen in the domestic economy over the past years (such as debt crisis, health crisis and energy crisis among others), has not yet appeared.

Taking into consideration, however, both the concerns regarding the deterioration of the economic conditions in the global market place, the significant (at least for the modern era) elevation of prices in the areas of energy, raw materials and food, as well as the course of the world economy mainly due to the effects of the war in Ukraine, but also due to the ongoing war in the broader Middle East region (especially in Gaza Strip), it cannot be ruled out that this risk may affect, to a controlled and manageable degree, the liquidity of the Group.

The following table summarizes the maturity dates of the financial liabilities on June 30th, 2024, based on the payments arising from the relevant contracts, at non-discounted prices.

Income tax liabilities 2,006 1,385 0 0 3,391
Total 35,156 5,246 24,120 9,891 74,413

D. Cash flow risk due to changes in interest rates

The Group's bank debt is of long-term nature and is mainly denominated in Euro currency, linked to Euribor interest rates plus a margin. The fact that interest rates have remained at relatively high but also rising levels, despite their imminent reduction, has a negative impact on the Group's performance, financial results and cash flows as expected.

The Group borrows at a floating interest rate and in order to hedge the respective interest rate risk, it utilizes interest rate swaps. In this context, the Group exchanges each time the difference between amounts corresponding to the agreed fixed interest rate and amounts corresponding to the Euribor related floating nominal interest rate (Note 5.10).

Within this framework and based on the above mentioned measures applied by the Company and broadly by the Group, the interest rate risk is currently considered relatively controllable.

ΙΙ. Other risks to which the Group is exposed

Α. Risk arising from competition of foreign and domestic firms

The competition in the international market where the Group and the Company activate is becoming constantly stronger.

The Group based on the fully staffed, properly and well trained, specialized and fully equipped Research and Development Department that it owns, on the implementation of its investment plan in order to further enhance production capacity, and on the long-term presence in the sector it possesses, has already managed to differentiate its products from the current competition and to present qualitative diversified solutions. The high quality standards of the Group's produced products, the strong recognition, and especially the brand name of the Group and the Company further contribute towards this direction. At the same time, it must be noted that the high cost of "entrance" into the specific market, in terms of investments required in high-tech mechanical equipment and subsequently in research and development costs, constitutes a factor that quells to a significant extent the above risk.

Despite the above, the particular risk due to the stronger competition seen in the international environment, which the Company and the broader Group activates in, is real and exists as at the

time of the preparation of this Report, and therefore it may affect to a certain extent the performance and the broader results of the Group during the financial year 2024.

Β. Risk of reduced demand due to consumption slowdown

The Group is active in an intensive and competitive global environment. Its specialized know-how in conjunction with the research, development and creation of new innovative products and strong infrastructure in production equipment, assist the Group to remain competitive as well as expand or achieve its further penetration in new markets.

The products of the Group are used mainly in food packaging which, since food is of first need, are usually affected the least from consumption slowdown, however they may be affected subsequently by external factors that may prevail in the markets in which the Group is active. Such external factors that may harm demand for the Group's products include the probability of illnesses in meat products, the change in food and nutrition patterns, climate changes, a slowdown of the global economy etc.

Given the fact that at the time of preparation of the present financial report, there is a weak consumer demand due to the intense inflationary pressures both in the Eurozone and globally, without any signs of reversal or even de-escalation, the particular risk is assessed as significant and therefore it might affect the Group's financial performance and financial results during the financial year of 2024.

C. Risk related to the cost of production

(a) Risk of raw material price increases

The Group is exposed to continuous price volatility of raw materials that it acquires internationally. This volatility may result from abrupt changes in oil production prices, other chemical products or other reasons.

The Group based on its experience and strong know how takes all necessary and appropriate measures to ensure the adequacy of raw materials to the greatest possible extent.

In order to reduce this risk, the Group's inventory and commercial policy on per case basis is adjusted accordingly in order to diversify and transfer part of this risk, to the extent that this is possible and according to the current conditions present each time as regards to competition.

Following the above, and in the view of the ongoing volatile and uncertain environment of the global economy, this risk in case of inability to substantially transfer the increase in the cost of raw material prices to the price of final products, is assessed as particularly significant and may adversely affect the Group's broader financial results during the second half of the year 2024.

b) Risk of rising electricity prices.

Electricity consumption is an important cost factor in relation to the Group's production activity.

To address this risk and mitigate its negative consequences, the Group invests systematically in equipment with low electricity consumption.

However, at the present time and based on the prevailing instability and volatility, the particular risk due to the constantly rising energy prices following the war conflict between Russia and Ukraine but also due to the disruptions observed in the South East European energy market, is being assessed by the Company's Management as particularly important. In this context this type of risk might significantly affect the financial results and performance of the broader Group during the second half of the current fiscal year 2024.

D. Risks related to work safety

Work safety for the Group's employees is a top priority and necessary condition when attempting to operate its production facilities with normality. A plan that focuses on establishing a safety culture throughout all the Group's activities and operations, as well as on targeting the constant training and education of the Company's personnel is applied on a continuous and constant basis. Moreover, broad educational programs are applied to systematically and fully train and educate employees on workplace safety and hygiene issues. The application of such programs is continuously reviewed by the Company's relevant Department with the assistance of specialized professionals - Security Technicians with whom the Company collaborates.

E. Environmental risks

Protection of the environment and sustainable development are fundamental principles for the Group. For this reason, the Group takes strict measures in the areas where it operates, which in several cases extend further than those imposed by law. The Group invests in best available techniques for protecting the environment, it closely and systematically monitors planned changes in environmental law and it ensures to take the necessary measures in advance so as to avoid any risk of not complying with the current legislative and regulatory framework.

F. Risks related to climate change

Climate change is a global environmental issue with multidimensional and multifaceted implications that significantly affect human health, working conditions and safety at work.

The optimal response to the risk of climate change comprises a fundamental commitment of the Group, which in addition to its legal obligation also considers this issue as a moral obligation to

contribute actively and substantially to the efforts of both the international community and our country to combat climate change-related risks.

The Group recognizes both the risks associated with the phenomenon of climate change, and its obligations in relation to the need for continuous improvement of its environmental performance.

The mitigation of the effects of climate change affects inevitably and determines significantly the business strategy of the Group through the adoption and implementation of measures to reduce its environmental footprint and the systematic effort to use environmentally friendly sources of energy.

The Group monitors and records on a systematic basis the environmental impact of its business activities and takes measures to reduce its environmental footprint. FLEXOPACK aims at the continuous and effective reduction of carbon emissions which are mainly due to the consumption of electricity which is the main source of energy of the Company.

The Group's vision is to continue to be one of the most important Greek companies with a strong international presence and with a parallel contribution to sustainable development. The desire of the Group is to enhance its long-term value through the production of technologically advanced products that meet the most demanding international standards along with quality, safety and sustainable development standards.

In this context, the Group promotes and implements a policy, which focuses on the following areas:

  • Demonstration of preparedness for emergencies,

  • -application of emergency prevention, detection and management procedures,

  • -design and construction of facilities aiming at the greatest possible energy savings,
  • -frequent maintenance and constant renewal and upgrade of the used mechanical equipment, in order to leave a low energy footprint,
  • -continuous information, training and awareness raising of personnel on climate change issues, -integration into the system of recycling and alternative packaging management, in order to prevent the generation of packaging waste and the reuse, recycling and effective utilization of all materials,

-selection of recyclable, if possible, raw materials with the lowest possible energy footprint,

-application of technologies for reduction of direct and indirect emissions of greenhouse gases from energy consumption,

-monitoring of the policy followed by the Group suppliers regarding the implementation of procedures for dealing with climate change and the use of renewable energy sources along with the provision of relevant recommendations and suggestions, where necessary,

-building relationships of trust with the local communities in which the Group develops its business activities; continuous care to minimize the inconveniences caused.

FLEXOPACK SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PLASTICS COMPANY G. Risk related to current developments in Ukraine and the wider Middle East region.

On February 24, 2022, the Russian military invasion of Ukraine took place, which then escalated into a war, creating geopolitical instability and unsustainable repercussions on the global economy. The latter was due to the large increases in energy prices, raw materials, industrial metals and other consumer goods.

It is noted that the Group has no significant business exposure to the countries involved in the war conflict and therefore no material impact (direct or indirect) exists on its business activities in relation to the above developments.

During the First Half of the current financial year 2024, the Group's sales to the Ukrainian market amounted cumulatively to 0.14% of the consolidated turnover, versus a percentage of 0.06% in the corresponding period of the previous financial year. As a result, there has been no material effect (either direct or indirect) on the activities, results, financial position and performance of the Group in relation to the above risk.

At the present time, it is very uncertain for the Group to proceed with any prediction regarding the impact of the ongoing war conflicts both in the region of Ukraine and in region of Israel as well as their subsequent side effects.

Furthermore it should be noted that the crisis in the broader region of Middle East has generated significant transportation issues across the area of Suez Canal and therefore it is quite difficult for the Group's products to access the international markets, mainly in Australia. This development has significantly lengthened delivery times and has generally created problems in terms of the supply chain affecting at the same time the respective transportation cost. In order to maintain its supply chain as active as possible, the Company has taken all the necessary measures such as utilizing air transport instead of sea transport. This option however has resulted into a significant increase of transport costs.

H. Risk related to COVID-19.

At the preparation date of the present Report and in view of the declining severity of the disease, the universal lifting of restrictive measures or health protocols and the definitive transition of the virus into an endemic form, the normalization of conditions in terms of social and economic activities has been now an ongoing reality. However, it should be noted that the number of infection cases in relation to coronavirus (Covid 19), especially during the tourist or summerseason, has been showing a significant increase. Moreover, the scenario of an emergence of new infectious deceases and mutations cannot be excluded under no circumstances, and the same goes with the appearance of new "pandemic" diseases. As a result, the particular risk related to Covid-19 is considered at the present time to be insignificant, but without being inexistent.

D. Alternative Performance Measures (APM)

The Alternative Performance Measure (APM) constitutes a financial ratio or an indicator measuring the historic or future financial performance with regard to the financial position or the cash flows. The APM is not stipulated or required by the existing framework of financial information (IFRS). The general principle of the Group is to present the particular alternative performance measures in a clear and transparent manner so that these indicators are appropriate and useful for decision making purposes by the readers of the financial statements.

The APM should be taken into consideration always in conjunction with the financial results that have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS and in no case should they replace them. The Management monitors the following Alternative Performance Measures:

a) Capital Management

The goals of the Group with regard to the capital management refer to the uninterrupted course and development of its business activities, the assurance of the financing of investment plans and the optimal allocation of capital targeting the reduction of cost of capital.

For the purposes of capital management, the Group systematically monitors the ratio:

"Net bank debt to Total employed capital".

The net bank debt is calculated as the total short-term and long-term interest bearing liabilities minus

FLEXOPACK SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PLASTICS COMPANY

the total cash and cash equivalents.

The total capital employed is calculated through the sum of the net bank debt and the total equity.

The respective ratios as of 30th June 2024 and 31st December 2023 evolved as follows:

SECTION F

Elements and estimates for the course of activities during the 2nd Half of 2024

Given Group's strong export orientation, the prospects, results and the course of both the Company and the Group for the 2nd half of the current year 2024 depend directly on the conditions prevailing in the global as well as the domestic economy and market.

At the present time there are reasonable and well-founded concerns regarding the course of the global economy due to factors such as the ongoing geopolitical crisis, the climate change and the high interest rates among other issues.

The following factors continue to create uncertainty and constitute a source of concerns regarding the financial performance of the Company during the second half of the current financial year, and specifically:

  1. The ongoing, and as of recently intensified, war conflict between Russia - Ukraine along with the war conflict in Gaza Strip. Both incidents have caused inevitable effects on the stability and security of the global economy in general.

  2. The crisis in the broader region of Middle East has generated significant transportation issues across the area of Suez Canal and therefore it is quite difficult for the Group's products to access the international markets, mainly in Australia. This development has significantly lengthened delivery times and has generally created problems in terms of the supply chain affecting at the same time the respective transportation cost. In order to maintain its supply chain as active as possible, the Company has taken all the necessary measures such as utilizing air transport instead of sea transport. This option however has resulted into a significant increase of transport costs.

  3. The significant and unjustified increase of energy costs, and as a matter of fact to especially high levels due to the ongoing and well known developments related to the war in Ukraine and the distortion of electricity market in the South East European region.

  4. The weakening consumer demand internationally and mainly in Europe, due to the intense inflationary pressures observed in food prices.

  5. Despite their imminent reduction, the maintenance of high interest rates for a long period now both internationally and especially in Eurozone, may exert upward pressure on the borrowing costs of both the public and private sectors and lead to an economic slowdown or even recession.

As a result of the above mentioned negative factors, the degree of uncertainty and jitter in the market still remains high, making any effort to extract reliable, safe and objective forecasts rather precarious. Therefore the Group's Management maintains a cautious stance overall as it cannot rule out the likelihood of a negative impact on its broader financial performance, financial position and the course of both the Company and the Group during the second half of the current year 2024.

The Management of the Group with a high sense of responsibility towards the employees, the customers, the suppliers, the partners and the investors, closely monitors and systematically evaluates all possible risk factors, which may affect the financial position, activities and results of the Group and has been taking all appropriate measures to ensure the smooth operation and business continuity of the Group.

In any case and despite the prevailing conditions in terms of liquidity, uncertainty and volatility, the Group, both on the reporting date of the semi-annual Financial Statements and on their approval date, maintains a satisfactory level of capital adequacy and liquidity. At the same time, the Group has proceeded with all the required actions in order to effectively manage the various effects of the economic disruption and in this context to preserve employment positions.

CHAPTER 3 : Review Report of the Interim Financial Information

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT ON INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(This report has been translated from Greek original version)

To the Board of Directors of "FLEXOPACK S.A."

Review Report on Interim Financial Information

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of Flexopack S.A., as of 30 June 2024 and the related condensed separate and consolidated income statements and statements of other comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and the selected explanatory notes that constitute the interim financial information, which form an integral part of the six-month financial report according to Law 3556/2007.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim condensed financial information in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union and which apply to Interim Financial Reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily to persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Auditing Standards as incorporated into the Greek Legislation and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

Our review, has not revealed any material inconsistency or misstatement in the statements of the members of the Board of Directors and the information of the six-month Board of Directors Report, as defined under article 5 and 5a of Law 3556/2007, in relation to the accompanying interim condensed separate and consolidated financial information.

2.1 Adoption of New and Revised International Standards

New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that are effective and have been adopted by the European Union

The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are adopted by the European Union, and their application is mandatory from or after 01/01/2024.

Amendments to IFRS 16 "Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2024)

In September 2022, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 16 "Leases" which add to requirements explaining how a company accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. A sale and leaseback is a transaction for which a company sells an asset and leases that same asset back for a period of time from the new owner. IFRS 16 includes requirements on how to account for a sale and leaseback at the date the transaction takes place. However, IFRS 16 includes no specific subsequent measurement requirements for the transaction, specifically where some or all the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate. The issued amendments add to the sale and leaseback requirements in IFRS 16, thereby supporting the consistent application of the Accounting Standard. These amendments will not change the accounting for leases other than those arising in a sale and leaseback transaction. The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2024.

Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2024)

Τhe amendments clarify the principles of IAS 1 for the classification of liabilities as either current or non‐current. The amendments clarify that an entity's right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period. The classification is not affected by management's intentions or the counterparty's option to settle the liability by transfer of the entity's own equity instruments. Also, the amendments clarify that only covenants with which an entity must comply on or before the reporting date will affect a liability's classification. The amendments require a company to disclose information about these covenants in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2024.

Amendments to IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows" and IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures": Supplier Finance Arrangements (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2024) In May 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued Supplier Finance Arrangements, which amended IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The new amendments require an entity to provide additional disclosures about its supplier finance arrangements. The amendments require additional disclosures that complement

the existing disclosures in these two standards. They require entities to provide users of financial statements with information that enable them a) to assess how supplier finance arrangements affect an entity's liabilities and cash flows and b) to understand the effect of supplier finance arrangements on an entity's exposure to liquidity risk and how the entity might be affected if the arrangements were no longer available to it. The amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 are effective for accounting periods on or after 1 January 2024. The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2024.

New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that have not been applied yet or have not been adopted by the European Union

The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but their application has not started yet or they have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2025)

In August 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 21. The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates that require entities to provide more useful information in their financial statements when a currency cannot be exchanged into another currency. The amendments introduce a definition of currency exchangeability and the process by which an entity should assess this exchangeability. In addition, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should estimate a spot exchange rate in cases where a currency is not exchangeable and require additional disclosures in cases where an entity has estimated a spot exchange rate due to a lack of exchangeability. The amendments to IAS 21 are effective for accounting periods on or after 1 January 2025. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

IFRS 9 & IFRS 7 "Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2026)

In May 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments which amended IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures". Specifically, the new amendments clarify when a financial liability should be derecognised when it is settled by electronic payment. Also, the amendments provide additional guidance for assessing contractual cash flow characteristics to financial assets with features related to ESG-linked feuatures (environmental, social, and governance). IASB amended disclosure requirements relating to investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs. The amendments are effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above have not been adopted by the European Union

The amendments included in the Annual Improvements relate to:IFRS 1 'First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards': Hedge Accounting by a First-time Adopter, IFRS 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures': Gain or loss on derecognition, Disclosure of differences between the fair value and the transaction price, Disclosures on credit risk, IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments': Derecognition of lease liabilities, Transaction price, IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements': Determination of a 'de facto agent', IAS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows' - Cost Method. The above amendments are effective for accounting periods on or after 1 January 2026. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2027)

In April 2024 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a new standard, IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements'. The objective of the Standard is to improve how information is communicated in an entity's financial statements, particularly in the statement of profit or loss and in its notes to the financial statements. Specifically, the Standard will improve the quality of financial reporting due to a) the requirement of defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, b) the requirement of the disclosure about management-defined performance measures and c) the new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2027)

In May 2024 the International Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard, IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures". The new standard allows eligible entities to elect to apply IFRS 19 reduced disclosure requirements instead of the disclosure requirements set out in other IFRS. IFRS 19 works alongside other IFRS, with eligible subsidiaries applying the measurement, recognition and presentation requirements set out in other IFRS and the reduced disclosures outlined in IFRS 19. This simplifies the preparation of IFRS financial statements for the subsidiaries that are in-scope of this standard while maintaining at the same time the usefulness of those financial statements for their users. The amendments are effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

.

2.2 Significant accounting judgments, estimations and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements according to IFRS requires management to make decisions, perform estimations and use assumptions that affect the amounts presented in the financial statements, the assets, liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the preparation date of the financial statements and the published income and expenses amounts for the reporting period. The actual results may differ from such estimations.

Estimations and judgments by the Management are continuously evaluated and are based on empirical data and other factors, such as expectations for future events considered probable under specific conditions.

Specific amounts which are included or affect the financial statements, and the relevant disclosures, must be estimated. During the estimations, assumptions must be created as regards to the values or conditions that cannot be known with certainty during the preparation period of the financial statements. An important accounting estimation is considered as one that is important for the depiction of the company's financial position and results and demands the most difficult, subjective or complicated judgments by management, often as a result of the need to create estimations regarding the effect of assumptions which are uncertain. The Group evaluates such estimations on a constant basis, based on the results of the past and based on experience, meetings with specialists, trends and other methods that are considered appropriate under the specific circumstances.

The significant accounting judgments, estimations and assumptions that refer to data, the evolution of which could affect the financial statements' accounts, are the following.

Estimated impairment of the value of investments in subsidiaries and associates

The Group, with the exception of goodwill which is being tested for impairment on annual basis, performs the relevant impairment audit of its investments' value when events or conditions increase the probability of such impairment. The recovered amounts of the cash flow generating units have been estimated according to the calculations of the value in use. For the calculation of the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted into present value with the use of a discount factor.

The determination of the future flows is performed after in-depth analysis and estimates by the management with regard to the level of future profitability as well as the assessment of the existing conditions in the market. The basic assumptions which are being utilized are related to the following factors: Discount rate, levels of sales in the next 5-year period, gross profit margin and growth rate after the 5-year period.

The above calculations require the use of estimates.

Useful life of tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are being depreciated along their estimated economic life. The Management makes certain estimations regarding the useful life of depreciated fixed assets.

Provisions for impairment of trade receivables

The Group makes provisions for doubtful receivables in relation to certain customers when there is evidence or when there are certain elements which indicate that the cash collection with regard to a particular claim is not likely to occur. The Management of the Group proceeds with a periodical reassessment of the adequacy of the provision regarding the doubtful receivables in relation to its credit policy and according to the data of the Group's Legal Department. These data derive from the processing of historical information and from recent developments concerning cases under examination.

Estimates of expected credit losses on trade receivables

The provision is based on a table that calculates the expected credit losses throughout the lifetime of the Group's receivables. This table is based on past evidence but it is adjusted to reflect expectations for the future financial conditions of customers as well as of the economic environment. At each balance sheet date, the historical rates are updated and estimates of future financial conditions are reviewed and analyzed.

The correlation between historical data, future financial conditions and expected credit losses involves the performance of significant estimates. The amount of expected credit losses depends to a large extent on changes in conditions and forecasts of the future economic environment. In addition, past evidence as well as forecasts made for the future economic conditions may not lead to conclusions indicative of the actual amount of customer defaults in the future.

Income taxes of tax un-audited financial years

The provision for income tax requires judgment and is calculated by estimating the taxes that will be paid to the tax authorities.

There are many transactions and calculations which render the final determination of the tax uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities from expected tax audits, based on estimates of whether or not additional taxes will be imposed. If the final outcome of the audit is different from the initially recognized, then the difference will affect the income tax of the period.

Recovery of deferred tax receivables

A deferred tax receivable is recognized for unutilized tax losses to the extent that there will be sufficient taxable earnings in future in order to be offset with these tax losses. For the determination of the amount of the deferred tax receivable which may be recognized there is the requirement of judgments and estimations that must be made by the Group's Management. These are based on the future taxable earnings in combination with the tax policies that will be followed in the future.

Obsolescence of inventories

Appropriate provisions are being performed for obsolete and useless inventories whenever it is deemed appropriate and necessary. The reductions of the inventory value at the net liquidation value and the other losses from the inventories are recorded in the statement of results during the period when they appear.

Issues related to climate change

The Group considers issues related to climate change in its accounting estimates and assumptions. Although the Group considers that its business model and services will continue to be sustainable after the transition to a low-emission economy, climate-related issues might increase uncertainty in estimates and assumptions across various items of the financial statement (such as concerning the estimation of the economic life of non-financial assets and the impairment of tangible assets), etc.

Tax compliance report

With the article 82 §5 of Law 2238/94, beginning from year 2011, and in a later stage with the article 65A of Law 4174/2013, the Certified Auditors and the auditing firms performing mandatory audits in societe anonyme companies are obliged to issue a Tax Compliance Report with regard to the

application of tax provisions in tax objects. The particular report is submitted to the audited company and via electronic means to the Ministry of Finance.

For the years 2011 – 2022, the Company as well as the associate companies INOVA S.A. PLASTICS AND IRON and VLACHOU BROS S.A. received a relevant Report, without any reservation with regard to the tax objects which were audited. With the article 56 of Law 4410/3.8.2016 for the years from 1.1.2016, the issuance of a Tax Compliance Report is no longer mandatory (only optional).

For the fiscal year 2023, the Company and its associate companies have been placed under the above mentioned tax audit of the Certified Auditors Accountants and from the relevant Tax Compliance Report which is expected to be granted, it is anticipated that no additional as well as material tax burdens will emerge.

According to the Ministerial Decision (POL) 1006/05.01.2016, the companies for which a tax certificate "without reservation" has been issued, are not being excluded from the obligation concerning an ordinary tax audit from the pertinent tax authorities. As a result, the tax authorities may proceed with their own tax audit and impose any penalties and additional taxes.

Adjusted (diluted) earnings per share (Euro per
share) (1)/(2)
0.4735 0.7020 0.4830 0.2998

Adjusted (diluted) earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, with the effects of all potential securities convertible into ordinary shares. The stock option plan (Note 5.16) is the only category of potential securities convertible into common shares that the Company currently possesses.

For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the exercise of options is taken for granted. To the existing weighted number of shares outstanding, the difference between the number of ordinary shares deemed to have been issued in the exercise of the rights and the number of ordinary shares that would have been issued at fair value is added.

The number of ordinary shares that would have been issued at fair value is calculated by dividing the hypothetical cash proceeds from the stock options by the average market price of the ordinary shares during the reporting period.

5.9 Dividends

The distribution of dividends to shareholders of the parent Company is recognized as a liability in the financial statements, on the date when the distribution is approved by the annual General Meeting of shareholders.

The Annual Ordinary General Meeting of shareholders of June 21st, 2024 unanimously approved the distribution (payment) to the Company's shareholders of a dividend from the profits of the financial year 2023 and in particular the General Meeting approved the payment of a total amount of 1,765,916.10 Euros (gross amount), i.e. the amount 0.15 Euros per Company's share (gross amount), from which a dividend tax of 5% is withheld.

The payment of the dividend started on Monday, 8 July 2024, and took place through the paying Bank "NATIONAL BANK OF GREECE SA".

5.10 Fair value measurement

The Group and the Company use the following hierarchy to identify and disclose fair values of financial assets using the following valuation method:

Level 1: fair values are determined by reference to published active money market transactions.

Level 2: fair values are determined using measurement techniques for which all parameters that have a material impact on the fair value of the asset are supported by observable market prices (directly or indirectly).

Level 3: fair values are determined using measurement techniques for which the parameters that have a significant impact on the fair value recorded are not supported by observable market prices. The table below shows the hierarchy of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Group and the Company.

GROUP COMPANY
30/6/2024 31/12/2023 30/6/2024 31/12/2023 Fair value
hierarchy
Short-term liabilities 972 972 Level 3
Interest rate swaps 0 0
Capital reserves 201 201 Level 3
Stock options 9 4 9 4

The Group borrows at a floating interest rate and in order to hedge the respective interest rate risk, it utilizes interest rate swaps. In this context, the Group exchanges each time the difference between amounts corresponding to the agreed fixed interest rate and amounts corresponding to the Euribor related floating nominal interest rate.

The valuation on 30/06/2024 of the above interest rate swaps resulted to a profit of 972k Euro which affected "Other Long-term Receivables" and increased "Other Financial Results".

The fair value of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities, which consist of cash, receivables from customers, loans and other receivables, liabilities to suppliers and related liabilities do not differ significantly from their book values, mainly due to their short-term nature.

The Group's bank loans have a floating interest rate and therefore their fair values do not differ significantly from their book values.

5.11 Treasury Shares

Pursuant to the decisions of the Annual Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 26 June 2020 and the Board of Directors of 13 July 2020, the Company proceeded on 22.07.2020, through an OTC transaction, to the purchase of 96,450 treasury shares with an average purchase price of 4.00 Euros per share, and with a total transaction value of 385,800 Euros.

5.15 Long-term and short-term loans

The Company's ordinary (common) bond loans as well as the long-term bank loans of the subsidiary company "FLEXOPACK POLSKA Sp. Zo.o" are in Euro.

The Group's long-term bank loans are based on variable 3-month and 6-month Euribor rates and on fixed spreads.

The Group's short-term debt is under floating interest rates based on Euribor plus a margin, apart from an amount of 717 thousand Euros (based on the exchange rate of 30/6/2024) which is denominated in Polish Zloty (PLN).

The amounts of the long-term loans which are payable within a year starting from the balance sheet date are recorded as short-term liabilities, whereas the amounts payable at a later stage, are recorded as long-term ones.

The Group does not possess any loans value at fair. The book values of the Group's loans are estimated to approach their fair value and therefore the discount which would be used for the determination of the fair value is almost equivalent to the interest rates charged to the Group.

Long-term and short-term liabilities from the Group's and Company's loans are analyzed as follows:

D. Alternative Performance Measures (APM)

The Alternative Performance Measure (APM) constitutes a financial ratio or an indicator measuring the historic or future financial performance with regard to the financial position or the cash flows. The APM is not stipulated or required by the existing framework of financial information (IFRS). The general principle of the Group is to present the particular alternative performance measures in

a clear and transparent manner so that these indicators are appropriate and useful for decision making purposes by the readers of the financial statements.

The APM should be taken into consideration always in conjunction with the financial results that have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS and in no case should they replace them.

The Management monitors the following Alternative Performance Measures:

a) Capital Management

The goals of the Group with regard to the capital management refer to the uninterrupted course and development of its business activities, the assurance of the financing of investment plans and the optimal allocation of capital targeting the reduction of cost of capital.

For the purposes of capital management, the Group systematically monitors the ratio:

"Net bank debt to Total employed capital".

The net bank debt is calculated as the total short-term and long-term interest bearing liabilities minus the total cash and cash equivalents.

The total capital employed is calculated through the sum of the net bank debt and the total equity.

The respective ratios as of 30th June 2024 and 31st December 2023 evolved as follows:

The Group may affect its capital structure via the repayment or the collection of additional bank debt, through share capital increase or return of capital to shareholders, and via the distribution or not of dividends and through other distributions.

5.21 Events after the Reporting Date of the interim financial statements

In July 2024, the Company's Management proceeded with a capital increase amounting to EUR 500 thousand of the fully owned by 100% subsidiary "FLEXOPACK INTERNATIONAL LIMITED" based in Larnaca, Cyprus.

The aforementioned share capital increase was implemented with the aim to further finance and capitalize with an amount of EUR 500 thousand the Group's subsidiary based in Lyon, France, under the name "FLEXOPACK FRANCE" (in which the above Cypriot subsidiary holds 100% of the voting rights). FLEXOPACK FRANCE is currently in a phase of significant growth in terms of turnover and as a result it needs further capital in order to support this growth.

There are no other significant events following the release of the interim semi-annual financial statements, which concern either the Group or the Company, and whose disclosure is mandatorily required by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
