Interim directors' report

The directors present their report and the condensed interim financial statements in terms of Chapter 5 of the Capital Markets Rules issued by the Malta Financial Services Authority and the Prevention of Financial Markets Abuse Act, 2005. The condensed financial statements have been extracted from G3 Finance p.l.c. unaudited financial information as at 30 June 2024 and the six month period then ended, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted for use in the EU for interim financial statements (International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'). This half-yearly report has not been audited or reviewed by the Company's independent auditors.

Principal activities

The Company's principal activity is to carry out the financing of the business activities of the companies forming part of G3 Group.

Review of the business

The Company

The Company's revenue stream consists of interest charged to group companies on monies advanced for their operations. Finance income received from a related entity during the period ended 30 June 2024 amounted to €348,016 (2023: €387,863). Finance costs comprise interest payable to bondholders on the outstanding bond issue amounting to €280,025 (2023: €280,479). Profit before taxation for the current sixmonth period amounted to €14,557 (2023: €51,468).

Principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year

The Company's principal activity is to act as a finance Company for the G3 Group of companies ("the Group"). In this context, the Company's ability to recover loans issued to its related entity is dependent on the performance of the Company within the Group to which amounts have been advanced.

The Group

The Group operates in the hospitality sector and its business activities involve principally the operations of the Pergola Hotel & Spa and the Solana Hotel & Spa, both located in Mellieha.

The Company also offers food and beverage services both as part of the hotels, as well through the operation of independent catering establishments.

The Group is therefore susceptible to local economic developments and overseas trends related to the demand for travelling.

During the first six months, the Group has continued to register an upturn in its results following a period of recovery from the negative effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic during the previous financial years. The Group's management continued monitoring the situation to make sure that the financial wellbeing of the Group is secure, while at the same time continuing its expansion in the leisure sector.

The Group has prepared projections for the year ending 31 December 2024, based on actual results for the six months ended 30 June 2024 and forecasts thereafter. For the first six months of 2024, the Group achieved above budget occupancy levels and exceeded budgeted revenues, which in turn resulted in better operational financial results. Management is hopeful that this positive trend will continue during the rest of the year. The Group is not expecting material changes to depreciation and net finance costs.

Interim directors' report - continued

These projections are available in the Financial Analysis Summary report issued in June 2024 and which is available on the Company's website https://www.g3.com.mt.

In view of the measures undertaken by the Group and the projections outlined above, the directors are of the opinion that the Company will have the necessary funds to finance the interest falling in April 2025 and thereafter.

The directors concur with the going concern assumption for preparation of these interim financial statements and do not envisage any material uncertainty in this regard.

Results and dividends

The directors do not recommend the payment of an interim dividend.

Notes to the condensed interim financial statements

1. Basis of preparation

This condensed interim financial information for the six month period ended 30 June 2024 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention. These financial statements have not been audited nor reviewed by the Company's independent auditors. The condensed interim financial information does not include all the notes of the type normally included in a full set of annual financial statements. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2023.

2. Borrowings - continued

By virtue of a Prospectus dated 25 March 2022, G3 Finance p.l.c. ("the Issuer") issued an aggregate of €12,500,000 in bonds having a face value of €100 per bond, subject to a minimum holding of €2,000 and in multiples of €100 thereafter. The bonds have a coupon interest rate of 4.50% per annum payable on a yearly basis on 6 April each year. The bonds are guaranteed by G3 Holdings Limited, which has bound itself jointly and severally liable with the Issuer, for the repayment of the bonds and interest thereon, pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions in the Prospectus. These bonds were admitted for listing on the Malta Stock Exchange on 6 April 2022.

The quoted market price for the bonds as at 30 June 2024 was €99.50 (31 December 2023: €99.70), which in the opinion of the directors fairly represents the fair value of these financial liabilities.

In accordance with the provisions of the Prospectus, the proceeds from the bond issue have been advanced by the Issuer to undertakings forming part of the G3 Group for the purpose of re-financing existing bank facilities within the Group and to finance future growth in operations.
