Report for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2025

On July 24 2025, the Board of Directors of Vassiliko Cement Works Public Company Ltd approved the financial results of the Group for the first half of the year that ended 30 June 2025.

Financial results

Revenues for the first half of 2025 amounted to €78.762.000, an increase from €69.108.000 for the same period in 2024. The rise in revenue is primarily driven by higher total sales volumes.

While energy prices during the first half of the year remained below expectations, the Company remains proactive in navigating an increasingly dynamic energy landscape. A wide range of cost containment initiatives have been implemented across the organisation, aimed at improving operational efficiency and preserving profitability.

In parallel, the Company is executing targeted capital expenditure focused on enhancing energy efficiency and increasing the use of alternative fuels. These initiatives are in line with our long-term strategy to reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuels and support our commitment to lowering carbon emissions through more sustainable production practices.

The 2024 expenses include the sum of €5.070.950 paid to the Commission for the Protection of Competition ("CPC") as an administrative fine, which was imposed on the Company on February 24, 2023, for alleged excessive pricing of grey cement in the domestic market during 2013-2018. This payment has been made with full reservation of all legal rights, pending the Company's recourse to the Administrative Court for the annulment of the CPC's decision.

As a result of the aforementioned factors, profit for the period reached €19.510.000, compared to €11.625.000 for the same period in 2024.

Transactions with related parties

The transactions with related parties for the first half of 2025 are presented on note 4 of the consolidated interim financial statements.

Μain risks and uncertainties

The main risks and uncertainties faced by the Group are presented on note 5 of the consolidated interim financial statements.

Prospects for the year

Fuels, energy, and the cost of emission rights continue to represent key cost drivers in cement production. Although energy prices have moderated compared to previous periods, their ongoing volatility remains a risk factor for the industry. The Company is closely monitoring market trends and remains proactive in managing potential impacts on operations.

While interest rates have declined from last year's highs, their effects on broader economic activity and investment decisions are still unfolding. Additionally, regional geopolitical uncertainties may continue to influence construction demand and market stability.

The Company is maintaining a strong focus on cost management, operational efficiency, and the advancement of its sustainability agenda. Targeted investments are underway to improve energy performance and accelerate the substitution of traditional fuels with alternative sources, supporting the long-term environmental and economic resilience of the Company.

5. Μain risks and uncertainties

The uncertain economic conditions, the increased regulatory conditions imposed by the EU ETS, energy prices and exchange rates, could affect:

  • (1) the Group's income and operating costs,
  • (2) the ability of the Group's trade and other debtors to repay the amounts due to the Group, and

(3) the cash flow forecasts of the Group and the assessment of impairment of other financial and non financial assets.

The uncertainty regarding the course of developments in the markets does not allow a safe prediction for the remaining of the current year, which may affect negatively the future financial performance, cash flows and financial position of the Group. Considering the above uncertainties the Group's Management is taking measures to limit exposure to certain risks and mitigate any possible negative consequences.

Other risks and uncertainties faced by the Group are detailed in note 33 of the Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2024.
