To the Board of Directors of "ATTICA HOLDINGS S.A."

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of the Company "ATTICA HOLDINGS S.A." as of 30 June 2023 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 condensed financial information, which forms an integral part of the six-month financial report according to Law 3556/2007.

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim condensed financial information, in accordance with 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 this interim condensed financial information 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 Standards on Auditing 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 condensed 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.

Overall, in the first half of 2023, in relation to the corresponding period last year, the Group's turnover increased by 21%, standing at Euro 244.26 mln from Euro 201.45 mln with increased sailings by 18% and increased capacity utilization – supported also by the State's decision to lift the reduced passenger transport protocol (due to Covid 19) on vessels from mid-March 2022.

In the first half of 2023, the Group's consolidated gross profit stood at Euro 53.66 mln compared to consolidated gross loss of Euro 10.46 mln in the first half of 2022. EBITDA stood at Euro 47.49 mln against loss of Euro 9.61 mln in the first half of 2022, while consolidated EBIT amounted to Euro 21.79 mln against loss of Euro 34.47 mln in the corresponding period last year.

In the first half of 2023, consolidated profit after tax stood at Euro 3.25 mln against loss Euro 30.54 mln in the corresponding period last year. It is to be noted that the results for the period 1.1.2023 - 30.6.2023 were affected by the Group's fuel hedging activities in accordance with the respective policy approved by the Board of Directors (loss of Euro 5.53 mln in the first half of 2023 against profit Euro 12.79 mln in the first half of 2022). Fuel prices are highly volatile and unpredictable as a result of the geopolitical uncertainty and the complex international financial conditions, which can significantly affect the Group's operational cost. Therefore, the management continuously assesses the market developments and takes the necessary measures to ensure the achievement of the Group's sustainable development objectives.

The Group has a strong capital structure and high liquidity. Indicatively, it is reported that as at 30.6.2023 the Group's net borrowing to EBITDA ratio of the last twelve months stands at 3.17x (see below Financial Ratios ("Alternative Performance Measures").

Traffic Volumes

In the first half of 2023, the Group's traffic volumes amounted to 2.4 mln passengers (2.1 mln passengers in the first half of 2022), 365 k private vehicles (352 k private vehicles in the first half of 2022) and 209 k freight units (208

k freight units in the first half of 2022). In the first half of 2023 the Group performed 7,968 sailings (6,760 sailings in the first half of 2022).

The above data underline a significant increase in traffic volumes in all revenue categories (passengers, private vehicles, freight unfits).

More specifically, the development of the traffic volumes is as follows:

On international routes, the traffic volumes increased compared to the corresponding period last year by 37.9% in passengers, by 23.5% in private vehicles while decreased by 6.3% in freight units. Sailings increased by 8% compared to the corresponding period last year.

It is to be noted that in the first half of 2022, the Group's traffic volumes were significantly affected by the reduced passenger capacity protocol imposed on vessels due to Covid 19, until mid-March 2022.

3. The Group's Statements of Comprehensive Income

In the first half of 2023, the Group's turnover amounted to Euro 244.26 mln compared to Euro 201.45 mln in the corresponding period last year.

In particular Attica Group's operations, per by geographical area, are as follows:

In the Greek domestic market, the Group's turnover in the first half of 2023 amounted to Euro 169.66 mln, compared to Euro 141.62 mln in the corresponding period last year, presenting an increase of 20%.

In the international routes, the Group's turnover in the first half of 2023 amounted to Euro 74.23 mln compared to Euro 59.49 mln in the corresponding period last year, presenting an increase of 25%.

It is to be mentioned that domestic market turnover, includes compensations by the competent Ministry with regards to the execution of public service routes, of Euro 19.86 mln (Euro 16.46 mln in the first half of 2022).

The geographical segment "International Routes" include revenues from vessels chartering activities amounting to Euro 4.55 mln in the first half of 2023 (Euro 4.1 mln in the first half of 2022).

Operating expenses and other accounts

In the first half of 2023, the Group's operating expenses were affected by the increase in crew costs (crew wages increases), the increase in maintenance and repairs costs of the vessels mainly driven by inflationary pressures and the decrease in fuel prices, resulting in operational expenses of Euro 190.6 mln from Euro 211.91 mln in the first half of 2022. The decrease is mainly attributed to the lower fuel oil price. The increase in turnover combined with the decrease in operating expenses during the same period, resulted in an increase in gross profit, as well as in consolidated earnings before taxes, investing and financial results, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

The Group's administrative expenses amounted to Euro 17.61 mln compared to Euro 15.75 mln in the corresponding period last year. The increase derives mainly from the increase in wages and other employee benefits excluding remuneration of senior management and members of BoD, which remained unchanged (see paragraph 6 below), to compensate for employee's lost income due to the significant inflation increase over the last two years.

The Group's distribution expenses amounted to Euro 14.62 mln compared to Euro 11.70 mln in the first half of 2022. The increase in distribution expenses is mainly attributable to increased commission expenses in accordance with the increase in sales compared to the first half of 2022.

Other operating income amounted to Euro 0.36 mln, against Euro 3.44 mln in the corresponding period last year. In the first half of 2022, other income included income from subsidies related to pandemic impact relief measures of Euro 2.31 mln.

Other financial results for the first half of 2023 amounted to loss of Euro 5.61 mln (profits of Euro 12.76 mln in the first half of 2022) and are mainly related to the partial hedging of the fuel oil price fluctuation risk that the Company conducts within the framework of its policy approved by the Board of Directors. Relevant information is presented in the Notes to the financial statements for the period 1.1.2023-30.6.2023.

Financial expenses amounted to Euro 12.75 mln in the first half of 2023 compared to Euro 9.18 mln in the corresponding period last year and mainly concern loan interests. The change is mainly due to the increase in the discounted interest rates of the Group's loan liabilities (due to increased Euribor reference rate), compared to the first half of 2022. In particular, the Group's average interest rate for the six-month period ended on 30.6.2023 amounted to 5.08% against 3.72% in the first half of 2022.

In addition, loss of Euro 370 k arose in the period 1.1.2023-30.6.2023 from the affiliated company Africa Morocco Links (AML), which is consolidated using the equity method, against profits of Euro 281 k in the corresponding period last year.

The parent Company's participating interest in all subsidiaries of the Group stands at 100%.

In total, in the first half of 2023, consolidated earnings after taxes stood at Euro 3.25 mln compared to consolidated losses of Euro 30.54 mln in the corresponding period last year.

It should be noted that Group's revenues are highly seasonal. The highest traffic volume for passengers and vehicles is observed between July and September while the lowest traffic volume between November and February. On the other hand, freight sales are not significantly affected by seasonality.

SECTION C PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS FOR THE 2ND HALF OF 2023

During the two-month period July – August 2023, the Group increased its turnover by 2.6% compared to the corresponding period last year. For the entire fiscal year 2023, an increase is expected in the turnover and the net income of the Group compared to fiscal year 2022. The key factors that will further determine the financial performance of the Group for fiscal year 2023 mainly relate to traffic volumes and international fuel prices evolution, the latter currently presenting intensely rising trends.

Group management is actively evaluating opportunities to optimize vessels deployment and traffic volumes evolution, whilst implementing Group investment plan and enhancing its capital structure and liquidity.

SECTION D MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

This section presents the main risks and uncertainties regarding the Group's business operations:

Risks related to financial and market conditions in our country

The Group's operations are significantly affected by the amount of disposable income and consumer spending which, in turn, are affected by the prevailing economic conditions in Greece. Shipping industry is sensitive to the effects of any economic decline in either the Greek economy or the tourism market or even emergencies, which could adversely affect the Group's profitability.

Liquidity risk

The Group manages its liquidity needs on a daily basis through the systematic monitoring of its short and longterm financial liabilities, and its daily payments.

Furthermore, the Group constantly monitors the maturity of its receivables and payables in order to maintain a balance between capital continuity and flexibility through its bank creditworthiness.

On 30.6.2023, the maturity of the Group's short-term liabilities for a period of six (6) months was Euro 196.79 mln (Euro 136.13 mln on 31.12.2022) while the maturity for short-term liabilities from six (6) to twelve (12) months was Euro 12.51 mln (Euro 18.63 mln on 31.12.2022).

It is noted that Group's liquidity position completely covers the requirements of the Group for the next 12 months.

Fuel prices fluctuation risk

The Group, as all shipping companies, is significantly affected by the volatility of fuel prices. It must be noted that the cost of fuel and lubricants is the most significant operating cost of the Group's operating expenses, representing in the first half of 2023 approximately 45% of the Group's cost of sales. Indicatively, a change in fuel oil prices equal to 10% for a twelve-month period will have an effect of approximately Euro 8.25 mln on the Group's income statement and equity.

In addition, it is to be noted that from 1.1.2020 the new Regulation of the International Maritime Organization came into force, which requires that the maximum percentage of sulphur in marine fuels should not exceed 0.5%, except for vessels with scrubbers system, where fuel consumption with a sulphur content of up to 3.5% is permitted. The price of sulphur fuels up to 0.5% imposed by the new Regulation is significantly higher than the price of fuels with sulphur content of 3.5% and 1% used by the Group until 31.12.2019, which has led to increase in the cost of marine fuels.

The management is actively monitoring the situation and is implementing a series of actions to reduce the Group's operating costs, such as, indicatively, implementation of fuel oil price hedging for part of the quantities consumed by the Group's vessels.

Interest rate fluctuation risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate fluctuations with regards to its bank borrowings, expressed in Euro and subject to a variable interest rate.

In general, the current global economic environment is not favorable for capital-intensive businesses, due to the strong inflationary pressures exerted globally, which prompt central banks to take successive decisions to increase benchmark interest rates while implementing restrictive monetary policy.

Indicatively, a change in the interest rate of 1% would have an effect up to Euro 2.7 mln on the Group's income statement and equity on an annual basis.

Foreign currency risk

The Group's functional currency is Euro. The Group is affected by the exchange rates fluctuations to the extent that the fuel purchased for the operation of the vessels is traded internationally in U.S. Dollars. The Group is also affected by exchange rates due to its participating interest in the affiliated company AML and the 100% subsidiary Tanger Morocco Maritime S.A., whose currency is expressed in Moroccan Dirhams. These investments are subject to the respective exchange rates fluctuations.

Credit risk

The Group has no significant credit risk concentrations however, due to its large number of customers, is exposed to credit risk and, therefore, it has established credit control procedures in order to minimize bad debts. More specifically, the Group has defined credit limits and specific credit policies for all its customers' categories, while it has obtained bank guarantees from major central ticket issuing agents, in order to secure its trade receivables.

Furthermore, the Group monitors the balances of its customers and assesses respective provisions. In this respect, potential inability of the customers to fulfil their obligations may affect the Group's results through relevant provisions.

Capital risk management

The Group's objective in capital management is to facilitate its ability to continue as a going concern in order to ensure returns for shareholders and benefits of other stakeholders related to the Group and to maintain an optimal capital structure in order to decrease the capital costs.

The Group has significant loan liabilities due to the fact that investments for vessels' acquisition require a significant amount of capital, which is largely financed through bank loans, in accordance with the usual practice widespread in the maritime sector.

The Group's ability to service and repay its loans depends on its ability to generate cash flows in the future, which - to some extent - depends on factors such as general economic conditions, competition and other uncertainties.

The Group monitors its capital based on the gearing rate. This ratio is calculated by dividing the net borrowings by the total capital employed. On 30.6.2023, the gearing ratio is 50%, compared to 54% on 30.6.2022.

Competition

The Group operates on routes with intense competition, which can further intensify by competitors' efforts to capture higher market shares in already mature markets.

The routes with intense competition, along which the Group operated in 2023, as well as its competitors are the following:

  • Grimaldi Lines, at International routes in the Adriatic,
  • Anek Lines, Sea Jets, Fast Ferries and Golden Star Ferries at Piraeus Cyclades route,
  • Fast Ferries and Golden Star Ferries at Rafina Cyclades route,
  • Minoan Lines (Grimaldi Group) at Piraeus Crete route,
  • Sea Jets and ANES FERRIES in Sporades,
  • Saronic Gulf Vessels Joint Venture, Aegean Flying Dolphins, ANES FERRIES, Alpha Lines in Saronic Gulf.

Risk of accidents

The Group's vessels and generally the entire maritime sector, due to the nature of their operations, are subject to the above risk, which may have a negative effect on the results, the reputation, the customer base or/and the operation of the Group. The Group's vessels are covered by hull and machinery, protection and indemnity and war risks insurances as also for claims covered by civil liability.

Seasonality

The Group's sales are highly seasonal. The highest traffic for passengers and vehicles is observed during the months between July and September, while the lowest traffic for passengers and vehicles is observed between November and February. In contrast, freight sales are not significantly affected by seasonality.

Risks arising from climate changes

The risks arising from climate change may affect the Group's operations. The risks related to "Climate change & effects on weather conditions" as well as "Changes in the environmental protection regulatory framework" are identified and monitored in the Group's Risk Register. As part of its activities in this domain, the Group recognizes its responsibility to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions arising from its operations. The implementation of the environmental strategy has already started this year with setting strategic goals regarding reduction of gaseous pollutant emissions, making projections for installation of energy improvement equipment on vessels as well as implementation of specific actions that will decrease the Group's environmental footprint.

2. Significant accounting policies applied by the Group

Condensed interim financial statements for the period ended as at 30.6.2023 comprise limited scope of information as compared to that presented in the annual financial statements. These interim financial statements have been prepared by the management in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and are the same as those applied under the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended as at 31.12.2022, also taking into account the changes to the Standards and Interpretations, effective as from 1.1.2023, whose summary is presented below and which have been applied consistently in all presented periods.

Therefore, the attached interim Financial Statements should be read in line with the last published annual Financial Statements as of 31.12.2022 that include a full analysis of the accounting policies and valuation methods used.

The interim consolidated financial statements have prepared the financial statements in compliance with the historical cost principle, with the exception of investments in subsidiaries and financial derivatives measured at fair value, the accrual basis principle, the consistency principle, the materiality principle and the accrual basis of accounting principle.

Furthermore, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the going concern principle in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and revised International Accounting Standards (IAS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and their interpretations, as issued by IASB's International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). In preparing its financial statements for the period ending as at 30.06.2023, the Group has chosen to apply the accounting policies which ensure that the financial statements comply with all the requirements of every applicable Standard or Interpretation.

2.1. 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 01/01/2023.

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)

In May 2017, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an interim Standard, IFRS 4. The aim of the project was to provide a single principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an insurer holds. A single principle-based standard would enhance comparability of financial reporting among entities, jurisdictions and capital markets. IFRS 17 sets out the requirements that an entity should apply in reporting information about insurance contracts it issues and reinsurance contracts it holds. Furthermore, in June 2020, the IASB issued amendments, which do not affect the fundamental principles introduced when IFRS 17 was first been issued. The amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying some requirements in the Standard, make financial performance easier to explain, as well as ease transition by deferring the effective date of the Standard to 2023 and by providing additional relief to reduce the effort required when applying the Standard for the first time. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.

Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)

In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments that pertain to accounting policy disclosures. The objective of these amendments is to improve accounting policy disclosures so that they provide more useful information to investors and other primary users of the financial statements. More specifically, companies are required to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.

Amendments to IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)

In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments that they clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. That distinction is important because changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively only to future transactions and other future events, but changes in accounting policies are generally also applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.

Amendments to IAS 12 "Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)

In May 2021, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IAS 12 to specify how companies should account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations – transactions for which companies recognise both an asset and a liability. In specified circumstances, companies are exempt from recognising deferred tax when they recognise assets or liabilities for the first time. The amendments clarify that the exemption does not apply and that companies are required to recognise deferred tax on such transactions. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.

Amendments to IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts: Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)

In December 2021, the IASB issued a narrow-scope amendment to the transition requirements in IFRS 17 to address an important issue related to temporary accounting mismatches between insurance contract liabilities and financial

assets in the comparative information presented when applying IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" for the first time. The amendment aims to improve the usefulness of comparative information for the users of the financial statements. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.

2.2. 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 12 "Income taxes": International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules (effective immediately and for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)

In May 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 12 "Income Taxes": International Tax Reform—Pillar Two Model Rules. The amendments introduced a) a temporary exception to the requirements to recognise and disclose information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes and b) targeted disclosure requirements for affected entities. Companies may apply the temporary exception immediately, but disclosure requirements are required for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2023. 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.

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

In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 that affect requirements for the presentation of liabilities. Specifically, they clarify one of the criteria for classifying a liability as non-current, the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The amendments include: (a) specifying that an entity's right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period; (b) clarifying that classification is unaffected by management's intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement; (c) clarifying how lending conditions affect classification; and (d) clarifying requirements for classifying liabilities an entity will or may settle by issuing its own equity instruments. Furthermore, in July 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to defer by one year the effective date of the initially issued amendment to IAS 1, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, in October 2022, the IASB issued an additional amendment that aim to improve the information companies provide about long-term debt with covenants. IAS 1 requires a company to classify debt as non-current only if the company can avoid settling the debt in the 12 months after the reporting date. However, a company's ability to do so is often subject to complying with covenants. The amendments to IAS 1 specify that covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. Instead, 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 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.

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 had not specified how to measure the transaction when reporting after that date. 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 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.

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 IASB issued Supplier Finance Arrangements to 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 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 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.

3. Financial risk management

The main financial risks for the Group and the Company follow below.

3.1. Financial risk factors

The Group is exposed to a series of financial risks, including market risk (unexpected volatility of exchange rates and interest rates) and credit risk. Consequently, the Group uses a risk management program, which seeks to minimize potential adverse effects.

Risk management relates to identifying, evaluating and hedging financial risks. The Group's policy is not to undertake any transactions of a speculative nature.

The Group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, receivables and payables, loans, repos, finance leases and financial derivatives.

3.1.1 Foreign currency risk

The functional currency of the Group is EURO.

The Group is affected by the exchange rates to the extent that the fuel, purchased for the operation of the vessels, is traded internationally in U.S. Dollars.

Moreover, the Group invested in AML and in by 100% subsidiary TANGER MOROCCO MARITIME SA, whose local currency is Moroccan Dirham. The aforementioned investments are affected by the respective currency fluctuation.

3.1.2. Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies sufficient cash and availability of necessary available sources of financing. The Group is managing its liquidity needs on a daily basis, systematically monitoring its short and long term financial liabilities and the payments made on a daily basis.

Furthermore, the Group constantly monitors the maturity of its receivables and payables, which main object is the balance between capital continuity and flexibility through its bank creditworthiness.

The maturity of the financial liabilities as of 30.6.2023 and 31.12.2022 of the Group and the Company is analyzed as follows:

The Group, as well as all the companies operating in the maritime industry, are significantly affected by fluctuations in fuel prices. It should be noted that the cost of maritime fuels and lubricants is the most significant operational cost, representing approximately 45% of the Group's cost of goods sold for the period 1.1 – 30.6.2023.

The table below presents the sensitivity of the income statement and equity to a change in fuel prices equal to 10% on an annual basis.

The management is actively monitoring the situation and is implementing a series of actions to reduce the Group's operating costs, such as, indicatively, implementation of fuel oil price compensation for part of the quantities consumed by the Group's vessels.

3.1.6. Risks from climate change

Risks caused by climate change may affect the Group's operations. In the Group's Risk Register, risks related to "Climate change & effects on weather conditions" as well as "Changes in the environmental protection regulatory framework" have been identified and monitored. As part of its actions on this matter, the Group recognizes its responsibility to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions arising from its operations. The implementation of the environmental strategy has started this year by defining the Group's strategic objectives concerning reduction of gaseous pollutant emissions, provisions for installation of energy improvement equipment on the vessels as well as implementation of specific actions that reduce the Group's environmental footprint. The above is reflected in the estimates of projected operating costs, capital costs and corresponding potential financing needs of the Group, while the management continuously assesses the effects of climate-related issues that could affect the Group's financial statements, in order to adapt and implement all kinds of actions to address these effects. Such actions are to be integrated in the Group's present operations and in its future planning as reflected in the estimates of the Group's future cash flows.

4. Fair value of financial instruments

The Group uses the following hierarchy in order to define and disclose the fair value of financial instruments per valuation technique:

Level 1: Assets/liabilities are measured at fair value according to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Assets/liabilities, measured at fair value according to evaluation models in which elements affecting significantly the evaluation are based (directly or indirectly) on observable market values.

Level 3: Assets/liabilities, measured at fair value according to evaluation models in which elements affecting significantly the evaluation are not based on observable market values.

4.1. Financial derivatives

Derivative financial instruments are valued using valuation models based on observable market data.

4.2. Investments carried at fair value

Under IAS 27 «Separate Financial Statements» the Company measures its investments in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" at fair value through profit and loss.

At the end of every reporting period of the financial statements, the Company carries out the calculations required in relation to the fair value of its investments.

Main assumptions for the determination of investments at fair value include – apart from assessment of expected cash flows as described above – the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used, calculated by weighting cost of capital, cost of long-term debt and any grants.

The basic parameters determining the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) are as follows:

  • Risk-free return
  • Country risk premium
  • Equity risk premium

According to the above, the WACC was determined at 9.2%.

The value calculated as above, is weighted with the value arising based on the adjusted (taking into account the vessels' fair value) net assets value of every subsidiary.

4.3. Other financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value

The following table presents financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as at 30.6.2023.

Operating segments that have not met the requirements set out in IFRS 8 are not disclosed separately if the Management considers that the information related to the separate segment is not useful to users of its financial statements.

The geographical allocation of the Group's operations is as follows:

a) Domestic Routes

b) International Routes

The Group's vessels provide transportation services to passengers, private vehicles, which constitute mainly the tourism sales as well as freight sales.

7.16. Financial Derivatives

The Group is hedging part of the risk exposure related to changes in fuel price.

The Group's policy with respect to hedging the risk of cash flows from the change in marine fuel price is to cover up to 80% of the projected fuel needs through hedging instruments. In the first half of 2023, the Group 's hedging contracts were within the limits of the aforementioned policy.

There is a direct economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument as the terms of the hedging contracts are linked to the projected future marine fuel markets.

The Group has set a ratio of 1:1 as a hedge ratio for the relationship between the hedging instrument (contracts) and the hedged item (Fuel Oil).

Ineffectiveness in hedging may result from (a) differences that may arise in the time difference between the cash flows of the hedging instrument and the hedged item, and (b) contingent change in the hedging ratio of the hedging relationship resulting from the amount of the hedged item, which the Group actually hedges, and the amount of hedging

instrument that the Group actually uses to offset this amount of the hedging item and (c) contingent decrease in consumption due to route reductions. The effect of hedging instruments on the Statement of Financial Position as at 30.6.2023 is as follows:

The amounts included in the Income Statement are included in other financial results.
