Group sales increased by 17.2% year‐on‐year to €384.8 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019. This solid performance reflects higher year‐on‐year commercial refrigeration (ICM) sales in Europe and Asia, as well as increased glass containers demand and pricing in the Glass business.
Commercial refrigeration sales increased by 18.0% to €299.9 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019. Sales in Eastern Europe were strong, growing by 26.3% year‐on‐year. This good performance was driven by incremental cooler placements from key soft‐drink customers and market share gains with breweries in the region. Sales growth also supported by increased demand for Frigoserve's broad service offering. Salesin Western Europe grew 16.9%, mainly led by increased demand in France and Germany. In Africa and Middle East, sales declined by 7.3% year‐on‐ year, cycling strong ordersin the prior year period. Salesin our Asia businessincreased by 27.3%, primarily driven by higher demand from key soft‐drink customers and breweries in India, as well as market share gains with breweries in Southeast Asia.
Glass businessreported a strong performance, with salesincreasing by 14.4% to €84.9 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019. This performance reflects solid volume growth, coupled with pricing initiatives and a favorable currency translation effect. Sales in the glass containers business increased by double digit in the period, primarily driven by strong demand from key brewery and soft drink customers. Metal crowns business also reported an improved performance, with sales increasing by a double‐digit rate, driven by higher year‐on‐year demand.
Cost of goods sold increased by 15.6% to €305.0 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019, as a result of higher year‐on‐year volume growth. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of the group's sales improved to 79.3%, from 80.3% a year earlier, supported by the improved fixed cost absorption, input cost related savings and the benefitsfrom our ongoing productivity improvement initiatives across our commercial refrigeration business.
Administrative expenses increased by 1.0% to €16.1 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019, mainly reflecting higher year‐on‐year employee and IT related expenses, as well as increased depreciation charges following the adoption of IFRS16 (Leases). Administrative expenses as a percentage of sales improved to 4.2%, from 4.9% last year.
Selling, distribution and marketing expenses increased by 8.6% to €16.9 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019, driven by higher depreciation charges following the adoption of IFRS 16 (Leases), as well as warranty related expenses due to increased sales. As a percentage of sales, selling, distribution and marketing expenses improved to 4.4%, from 4.7% a year ago.
Research and development expenses increased by 7.8% to €2.8 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019, reflecting higher year‐on‐year payroll expenses, travelling expenses and depreciation charges. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses improved to 0.7%, from 0.8% last year.
Other income increased by 4.1% to €3.3 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019. Finance cost was €16.4 million, compared to €15.8 million last year, impacted by the interest expense on lease liabilities following the implementation of IFRS 16 (Leases).
Frigoglass incurred restructuring costs of €4.3 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019 related to the discontinuation of its Greek‐based plant.
Income tax expense was €12.9 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019, compared to €11.9 million last year, driven by higher pre‐tax profits in Russia and Nigeria.
Frigoglass reported net profits of €9.2 million, compared to net losses of €7.9 million, reflecting the improved operating profit and the net losses from discontinued operations that impacted the prior year's period.
Net cash from operating activities amounted to €34.7 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019, compared to net cash from operating activities of €34.0 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2018. This increase is primarily due to tax benefits related to investments in Nigeria, operating profitability improvement and lower inventories, partially offset by increased trade debtors following higher sales and higher outflow for trade creditors mainly related to the upcoming furnace rebuild in Nigeria.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to €12.5 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019, compared to €10.5 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2018, reflecting SAP implementation.
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to €15.5 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019, compared to net cash used in financing activities of €7.1 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2018. This decrease reflects higher interest paid and the payment of leased liability.
Net trade working capital as of 30 September 2019 amounted to €119.6 million, compared to €107.1 million as of 30 September 2018. This increase reflects higher trade receivables due to the sales growth in the third quarter of the year and a less favorable customer mix.
| 30 September | 30 September | |
|---|---|---|
| (in €m) | 2019 | 2018 |
| Trade debtors | 87.8 | 64.3 |
| Inventories | 87.8 | 97.3 |
| Trade creditors | 56.0 | 54.6 |
| Net Trade Working Capital | 119.6 | 107.1 |
Capital expenditures from continuing operations amounted to €13.3 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2019, of which €10.8 million related to the purchase of property, plant and equipment and €2.6 million related to the purchase of intangible assets, compared to €11.2 million in the nine months ended 30 September 2018, of which €9.7 million related to the purchase of property, plant and equipment and €1.5 million related to the purchase of intangible assets.
Following this solid year‐to‐date performance and an exceptional order from an ICM customer in the last quarter of the year, we are confident that 2019 will be another year of significant top‐line growth and comparable EBITDA margin improvement.
Moving ahead, we will continue to focus on the strong execution of our coolers commercial strategy, enhancing Frigoserve's customer base, operational improvements, cost efficiency measures and investing for growth. Incremental glass containers capacity, following the furnace rebuild at the Beta Glass Guinea plant in Nigeria, will also support future growth. We are on track for a planned shutdown at the end of the first quarter of next year, expecting the furnace to be operational towards the end of the second quarter of 2020.
We continue to expect full‐year 2019 capital expenditure at approximately €30 million, including pre‐buying of materials associated with the furnace rebuild next year and SAP implementation..
Yours Faithfully,
The Board of Directors

These Interim Condensed Financial Statements (the "Financial Statements") include the financial statements of the Parent Company FRIGOGLASS S.A.I.C. (the "Company") and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group"). The names of the subsidiaries are presented in Note 14 of the financial statements.
FRIGOGLASS S.A.I.C. and its subsidiaries are engaged in the manufacturing, trade and distribution of commercial refrigeration units and packaging materials for the beverage industry. The Group has manufacturing plants and sales offices in Europe, Asia and Africa.
The Company is incorporated and based in Kifissia, Attica.
The Company's' shares are listed on the Athens Stock Exchange.
The address of its registered office is:
15, A. Metaxa Street GR 145 64, Kifissia Athens, Hellas
The company's web page is: www.frigoglass.com
The interim condensed financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on 10th December 2019.
This Interim Condensed Financial Information for the period 01.01 ‐ 30.09.2019 has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union and specifically in terms of IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'.
The Interim Condensed Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 that are available on the company's web page www.frigoglass.com.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
Differences that may exist between the figures of the financial statement and those of the notes are due to rounding. Wherever it was necessary, the comparative figures have been reclassified in order to be comparable with the current year's presentation.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern basis of accounting. The use of this basis of accounting takes into consideration the Group's current and forecasted financing position.
The Group reported Profit after income tax expenses €13,86m compared to Loss after income tax expenses €2,96m for the previous period.
The total consolidated current liabilities of the group amounted to €173,5m and the total consolidated current assets amounted to €266,8m.
Within the framework of the Group's business policy, management is targeting to reduce costs, improve long‐term profitability and generate cash flows, coupled with maintaining and improving product quality and increasing customer value. Management of the Company has undertaken specific actions to achieve the above, including (a) cost reduction through the simplification of the product portfolio; (b) managing inventories at right levels; (c) Lean manufacturing alongside improvements in product quality; and (d) creating value from recent strategic investments.
Frigoglass S.A.I.C has an equity position of €25,9 m. at 30.09.2019, therefore is lower than half (1/2) of the share capital. As a consequence, the requirements of article 119 of the Companies Act 4548/2018 are applicable.
The 1st Repetitive General Meeting of shareholders, as at 05.07.2019, decided the nominal decrease of the Company's share capital by the amount of €92,413,815.26 to become €35,543,775.10, through decrease of the nominal value of the Company's 355,437,751 sharesfrom €0.36 to € 0.10 each, according to article 31 of Law 4548/2018, for the purpose of forming a special reserve of equal amount for offsetting losses by deletion of losses from the Company's account "Retained earnings" and the amendment of article 3 of the Company's Articles of Association.
On 09.10.2019 the Ministry of Development and Investments approved the above decision.
The Group's financial projections for the upcoming 12 months indicate that it will be able to meet its obligations as they fall due, however, this assessment is subject to a number of risks as described in the "Risks and uncertainties" section of the Directors' Report and in Note 3 to the Group's Annual Financial Report for the prior year, particularly if such risks were to materialize in combination.
Taking into consideration the above, the Directors of the Group have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to successfully navigate the present uncertainties and continue its operation. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The accounting policies adopted in preparing this Interim Condensed Financial Information are consistent with those described in the annual financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2018.
With the exception of the new standard, IFRS 16 for Leases, there have been no changes in the accounting policies that were used for the preparation of the annual financial statements prepared by the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2018.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
The preparation of these Interim Condensed Financial Information in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning on or after 01.01.2019.
None of the standards and interpretations issued is expected to have a significant effect on the Consolidated or the Parent Company financial statements with the exception of IFRS 16 "Leases" effective after 1 January 2019.
IFRS 16 has been issued in January 2016 and supersedes IAS 17. The objective of the standard is to ensure the lessees and lessors provide relevant information in a manner that faithfully represents those transactions. IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continuesto classify itsleases as operating leases orfinance leases, and to account forthose two types of leases differently.
The Group applies IFRS 16 from its mandatory adoption date of 1 January 2019. The Group applies the simplified transition approach and will not restate comparative amounts for the year prior to first adoption. The standard will affect primarily the accounting for the Group and Parent Company operating leases. The Group appliesthe practical expedientsforshort‐ term leases and low value leases. It also applies the transition expedient and exclude leases for which the lease term ends within 2019. Right‐of‐use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability.
The Lease liability is the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.
Right‐of‐use asset is the amount of lease liability (adjusted by the amount of any previously recognised prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease) less Impairment provision calculated under IAS 36 (or onerous provision under IAS 37 using the practical expedient on first adoption). For more details refer to Note 19.
The amendments allow companies to measure particular prepayable financial assets with so‐called negative compensation at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income if a specified condition is met—instead of at fair value through profit or loss.
The amendments clarify that companies account for long‐term interests in an associate or joint venture—to which the equity method is not applied—using IFRS 9.
The interpretation explains how to recognise and measure deferred and current income tax assets and liabilities where there is uncertainty over a tax treatment. IFRIC 23 applies to all aspects of income tax accounting where there is such uncertainty, including taxable profit or loss, the tax bases of assets and liabilities, tax losses and credits and tax rates.
The amendments specify how companies determine pension expenses when changes to a defined benefit pension plan occur.
The amendments set out below include changes to four IFRSs.
The amendments clarify that a company remeasuresits previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains control of the business.
The amendments clarify that a company does not remeasure its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains joint control of the business.
The amendments clarify that a company accounts for all income tax consequences of dividend payments in the same way.
The amendments clarify that a company treats as part of general borrowings any borrowing originally made to develop an asset when the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.
The amended definition emphasises that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and others. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The amendments clarify the definition of material and how itshould be applied by including in the definition guidance which until now was featured elsewhere in IFRS. In addition, the explanations accompanying the definition have been improved. Finally, the amendments ensure that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRS. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows.
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required by the Group Management in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. If the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax.
The Group's investments in subsidiaries are tested for impairment when indications exist that its carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of the investments in subsidiaries is determined on value in use calculations, which requires the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a one year period and cash projections for four additional years. The Company has an investment in Frigoinvest Holdings B.V. ( Note 14 ), which holds the Group's subsidiaries in the ICM and Glass segments which represent the two identifiable, separate cash generating units. Based on the assessment performed by management no impairment charge was recognized with respect to the Company's investment in subsidiary.
The Group assesses on an annual basis, the useful lives of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. These estimates take into account the relevant operational facts and circumstances, the future plans of Management and the market conditions that exist as at the date of the assessment.
The provision for doubtful debts has been based on the outstanding balances of specific debtors after taking into account their ageing, the agreed credit terms, the history, the existing market conditions and the forward‐looking estimates.
Management has assessed receivable balances of subsidiaries and has determined that these receivable do not require an impairment provision
The present value of the retirement benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the relevant obligation comprises the discount rate, the expected return on plan assets, the rate of compensation increase, the rate of inflation and future estimated pension increases. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of the retirement benefit obligations. The Group determines the amount of the retirement benefit obligations using suitably qualified independent actuaries at each year‐ end's balance sheet date.
The Group's property, plant & equipment is tested for impairment when indications exist that its carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of the property, plant & equipment is determined under IAS 36 at the higher of its value in use and fair value less costs of disposal. When the recoverable amount is determined on a value in use basis, the use of assumptions is required.
There are no areas that Management required to make critical judgements in applying accounting policies except the below.
During 2017 the Group proceeded with the restructuring of its indebtedness, with its key stakeholders, including its largest shareholder, Boval, holders of the Existing Notes, and the Group's core lending banks. The Noteholders, the Participating Lenders and Boval negotiated together the terms of the Restructuring. Therefore, the different steps were linked and accounted for as one transaction to reflect the substance of the Restructuring rather than its legal form.
The group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The condensed interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements they should be read in conjunction with the group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2018. There have been no changesin the risk management department or in any risk management policies since the year end of the previous year.
A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments.
The operating segment information presented below is based on the information that the Management Committee uses to assess the performance of the Group's operating segments.
Taking into account the above, the categorization of the Group's operations in business segments is the following:
Ice Cold Merchandise ( ICM ) Operations
Glass Operations
See Note 19 on the effect on the segment information of changes in accounting policy.

Frigoglass S.A.I.C announced on June 7, 2019 that following its ongoing manufacturing footprint restructuring related initiatives, aiming to improve its cost structure and enhance its long-term competitiveness for the entire Group, discontinues production in Kato Achaia plant in Greece, effected from the date of the announcement.
As part of the restructuring, impairment costs of tangible assets of € 0.7 million were recognized.
Costs related to Construction in progress are capitalised until the end of the forthcoming year.
Exchange differences: Negative foreign exchange differences arise from currency devaluation against the Euro and positive exchange differences from currencies appreciation against the Euro.
Impairment assessment has been performed for those cash-generating units (CGUs) with an indication that their carrying amount exceeds their recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit was determined through a value-in-use calculation. That calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a one-year period and cash projections for four additional years.
Subjective estimates and judgements by management about the future results of the CGU were included in the above calculation. These estimates and judgements include assumptions surrounding revenue growth rates, direct costs, and discount rates. The following table sets out the key assumptions for the calculation of the Value in Use:

Due to adverse operating results impairment assessment at 31.12.2018, was carried out, using the assumptions stated above, which resulted to impairment loss of € 2,1 m. for the Frigoglass India PVT Ltd..
As at 31.12.2018, the recoverable amount of the CGU of the ICM manufacturing Frigoglass India was € 6,9 m..
If the growth rate used in the value-in-use calculation had been 1% lower than management's estimates as at 31.12.2018 (3,0% instead of 4,0%), the Group would not have to recognise an additional impairment against the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment. If the after-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections of this CGU had been 1% higher than management's estimates (13,6% instead of 12,6%), the Group would have had to recognise an additional impairment against property, plant and equipment of € 0,54 m..

The amount of Grants for exports receivable of € 8.98m (2018 € 8.7m) comprise of Export Expansion Grants (EEG) and Negotiable Duty Credit Certificate (NDCC). Export Expansion Grants (EEG) are granted by the Nigerian Government on exports of goods produced in the country, having met certain eligibility criteria. These are recognized at fair value, and Management does not expect any losses from the non-recoverability of these grants. Negotiable Duty Credit Certificates (NDCC) originate from export grants received from government and the instrument is useful for settlement of custom duties payable to government, with no expiry date, under the previous scheme.
A revised scheme has been implemented for the Claims of 2017 and the years thereafter. The Revised Scheme proposes to make the Settlement of Claims for EEG by the Federal Government through the issue of Export Credit Certificates (ECCs) to the eligible beneficiaries. The ECCs, can be used to settle most Federal Government taxes such as Company Income Tax (CIT), VAT, WHT, etc. and the following:
During the year 2019, ECC's for a value of 37.64 M Naira (~ 100 K EUR) were received as partial settlement of 2017 EEG Claims. All the ECCs received were effectively utilized for settling some of the VAT liabilities (instead of paying cash). The NDCC's were surrendered to the Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC) in Jan 2018, as mandated by the NEPC for all the Holders of such NDCC's. The NDCC's are proposed to swap for Promissory Notes.
The EEG Claims pertaining to the period 2007-2016, are proposed to be settled by issuance of Promissory Notes, through a Reverse Auction Process (RAP).
The V.A.T receivable is fully recoverable through the operating activity of the Group and the Company.
Other receivables comprise various prepayments. The fair value of other receivables closely approximates their carrying value.

A statutory reserve is created under the provisions of Hellenic law (Law 4548/2018) according to which, an amount of at least 5% of the profit (after tax) for the year must be transferred to this reserve until it reaches one third of the paid up share capital. The statutory reserve can not be distributed to the shareholders of the Company except for the case of liquidation.
The share option reserve refers to the established Stock Option Plan provided to senior managers and members of the Management Committee.
The Company has created tax free reserves, in accordance with several Hellenic tax laws, during the years, in order to achieve tax deductions, either:
a) by postponing the settlement of tax liabilities until the distribution of the reserves to the shareholders, or
b) by eliminating any future income tax payment related to the issuance of bonus shares to the shareholders.
Should the reserves be distributed to the shareholders as dividends, the distributed profits will be taxed with the applicable rate at the time of distribution.
No provision has been recognized for contingent income tax liabilities in the event of a future distribution of such reserves to the Company's shareholders since such liabilities are recognized at the same time as the dividend liability associated with such distributions.

The Group's principal sources of finance consist of Bond Loans, local overdraft facilities, short- and long-term local bank borrowing facilities and Revolving Credit Facilities (RCFs).
The ratio of the fixed to floating interest rates of the Group's principal sources of finance as at 30.09.2019 amounts to 62% / 38%.
For 2019 in Greece tax rate is 24%. The Group and the Company calculate the period income tax using the tax rate that would be applicable to the expected annual earnings.
The income tax rates in the countries where the Group operates are between 12,5% and 33%.
A part of non deductible expenses, tax losses for which no deferred income tax asset was recognised, the different tax rates in the countries in which the Group operates, incomes not subject to tax and other taxes create the final effective tax rate for the Group.
For the financial years 2011 to 2018, all Hellenic Societe Anonyme and Limited Liability Companies that are required to prepare audited statutory financial statements must in addition obtain an "Annual Tax Certificate" as provided for by paragraph 5 of Article 82 of L.2238/1994 for the financial years 2011-2013 and the Article 65A of L.4174/2013 for the financial years 2014-2018. This "Annual Tax Certificate" must be issued by the same statutory auditor or audit firm that issues the audit opinion on the statutory financial statements.
Upon completion of the tax audit, the statutory auditor or audit firm must issue a "Tax Compliance Report" which will subsequently be submitted electronically to the Ministry of Finance.
For the years 2011 up to 2018 a respective "Tax Certificate" has been issued by the statutory Certified Auditors in accordance with art 65A of Law 4174/2013, without any qualification or matter of emphasis as pertains to the tax compliance of the Company.
The Parent Company has not been audited by tax authorities for the 2010 financial year.
Up to 30.09.2019 we have not been officially served with any audit mandate by the Greek tax authorities for the year 2010.
Consequently, the State is not anymore entitled, due to the lapse of the statute of limitation, to issue assessment sheets and
assessment acts for taxes, duties, contributions and surcharges for the years up to and including 2010, pursuant to the
following provisions:
(a) para. 1 art. 84 of Law 2238/1994 (unaudited cases of Income taxation),
(b) para. 1 art. 57 of Law 2859/2000 (unaudited cases of Value Added Tax), and,
(c) para. 5 art. 9 of Law 2523/1997 (imposition of penalties for income tax cases).
For the Parent Company, the "Tax Compliance Report" for the financial years 2011-2018 has been issued with no substantial adjustments with respect to the tax expense and corresponding tax provision as reflected in the annual financial statements of 2011 - 2018.
The Parent company received an audit mandate for a tax re-examination for 2012.
The tax returns of the Parent Company and the Group's subsidiaries have not been assessed by the tax authorities for different periods (see the table below).
Until such time the special tax audit of the companies in the below table is completed, the tax burden for the Group relating to those years cannot be accurately determined. The Group is raising provisions for any additional taxes that may result from future tax audits to the extent that the relevant liability is probable and may be reliably measured.
In some countries, the tax audit is not mandatory and may only be performed under certain conditions.

The Group Management is not expecting significant tax liabilities to arise from the specific tax audit of the open tax years of the Company as well as of other Group entities in addition to the ones already disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and estimates that the results of the tax audit of the unaudited tax years will not significantly affect the financial position, the asset structure, the profitability and the cash flows of the Company and the Group.
This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases on the group's financial statements and discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 January 2019.
The group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases retrospectively from 1 January 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2018 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transition provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 January 2019.
On adoption of IFRS 16, the group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of 1 January 2019.

On 1.1.2019, a new contract for the lease of a warehouse in the subsidiary in Romania was signed.
The discounted amount using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate amounted to €1,204.
Therefore, the total value of the first application originally amounting to € 5.696, turned to € 6.900 with the above addition.

The change in accounting policy affected the following items in the balance sheet on
1 January 2019:
• right-of-use assets – increase by € 5.696
• lease liabilities – increase by € 5.696
Adjusted EBITDA, segment assets and segment liabilities for September 2019 all increased as a result of the change in accounting policy. Lease liabilities are now included in segment liabilities.
The following segments were affected by the change in policy: ICM Operations € 5,4 m & Glass Operations € 0,3m. Earnings per share decreased by € 0,0004 per share for the period 01.01 - 30.09.2019 as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16.
In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
• using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
The group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the group relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.
The group leases various offices, warehouses, equipment and vehicles. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 2 to 5 years, but may have extension options as described below.
Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor. Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.
Until the 2018 financial year, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance leases or operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
From 1 January 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right of use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight line basis.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the group exercising that option.
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
a) the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
b) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
c) any initial direct costs, and
d) restoration costs at the expense of the lessee in order to disassemble and remove the underlying asset, to restore the premises where it has been located, or to restore the underlying asset to the condition provided by the terms and conditions of the lease.
Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT equipment.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases across the group. These are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the group's operations. The majority of extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the group and not by the respective lessor.

Basic and Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, excluding ordinary shares purchased by the company (treasury shares).
The diluted earnings per share are calculated adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares: share options. For the share options a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company's shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options. The difference is added to the denominator as an issue of ordinary shares for no consideration.
No adjustment is made to net profit (numerator).
Given that the average share price for the year is not in excess of the available stock options' exercise price, there is no dilutive effect.

According to management's assessment, the cease of production at the Kato Achaia plant is not presented as a discontinued operation in accordance with IFRS 5 as it does not constitute a separate major part of the business of the Company and the production carried out at that plant has been transferred to another Group company, which still serves the existing sales geographic area.
Kato Achaia production activity is involved in the ICM segment.
As a result of the cease of production at Kato Achaia plant, 82 employees were terminated, for which a total compensation of € 4.779 was paid up to 30 September 2019.
During 2018 the Group incurred restructuring costs of € 0.3 mil. related to the termination of one production shift in Frigoglass Indonesia PT.

Amounts in the Balance Sheet financial statements of the 31.12.2018 have been reclassified so as to be comparable with those of the current period.
The reclassifications have no effect on the Net Profit attributable to the Company shareholders, on the Net Profit attributable to the Minorities, on the EBITDA, on the Assets and Liabilities of the Company. The reclassification was done to accurately reflect the amounts of long-term and short-term liabilities.
An amount of €1.600 has been reclassified from Other payables to Current tax liabilities due to the provisions of IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over income tax treatment and an amount € 887 from Other payables to Other long term liabilities due to the long term nature of the company's bonus scheme.
The Group uses certain Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs") in making financial, operating and planning decisions, as well as, in evaluating and reporting its performance. These APMs provide additional insights and understanding to the Group's operating and financial performance, financial condition and cash flow. The APMs should be read in conjunction with and do not replace by any means the directly reconcilable IFRS line items.
In discussing the performance of the Group, certain measures are used, which are calculated by deducting from the directly reconcilable amounts of the Financial Statements the impact of restructuring costs. In this context, we are focusing on the APMs from Continuing Operations, while we also present Discontinued Operations for reconciliation purposes.
Restructuring costs comprise costs arising from significant changes in the way the Group conducts business, such as the discontinuation of manufacturing operations, as well as, expenses related to the Group's capital restructuring, debt write‐off and gains from the conversion of the convertible bonds. These costs are included in the Company's/Group's Income Statement, while the payment of these expenses are included in the Cash Flow Statement. However, they are excluded from the results in order for the user to obtain a better understanding of the Group's operating and financial performance achieved from ongoing activity.
EBITDA is calculated by adding back to profit before income tax, the depreciation, the impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and net finance cost/income. EBITDA margin (%) is defined as EBITDA divided by Sales from contracts with customers.

Free cash flow is an APM used by the Group and defined as cash generated by operating activities after cash generated from investing activities. Free cash flow is intended to measure the cash generation from the Group's business, based on operating activities, including the efficient use of working capital and taking into account the purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The Group presents free cash flow because it believes the measure assists users of the financial statements in understanding the Group's cash generating performance as well as availability for interest payment, dividend distribution and own retention.
