The variance of €5.2 mil. in the account "(losses)/gains from foreign exchange differences" in the summary of interim consolidated income statement for the period ended 31 March 2019 compared to the three months of the previous year is mainly due to the valuation of loans and other liabilities (including intercompany loans) in Euro, recorded by the Group's subsidiaries that operate in Egypt, Albania and US that have other functional currency. The volatility arising from foreign exchange rate fluctuations will continue to affect the Group's performance until the full repayment of the respective loans.
