During the year, the Group made remarkable progress in the execution of important projects both in Greece and abroad, leading the country's energy transformation. At the same time, through the Ten-Year Development Program, the Group plans to implement new projects, based on the stability, development and modernization of the Electricity Transmission System.

The above could not have been achieved without the daily effort of the employees of the IPTO Group, whom I would like to thank for their dedication to implementing the strategic vision of the Operator.

APPENDIX A – ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

In the context of the implementation of "Alternative Performance Measures" guidelines of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA/2015 /1415el) applicable as of 3 rd July 2016 to the "Alternative Performance Measures" ("APM"), the Group uses "Alternative Performance Measures" ("APM") in the decision-making framework on financial, operational and strategic planning as well as for the evaluation and publication of its performance. The "APM's" serve to a better understanding of the financial and operational results of the IPTO Group and IPTO S.A. and its financial position. Alternative Performance Measures should always be considered in conjunction with the financial results, prepared under IFRS, and not to replace them. The following measures are used to describe the IPTO Group's and the IPTO S.A. performance:

EBIΤ (Earnings before interest and tax)

EBIT is used for the best analysis of IPTO Group's and IPTO's S.A. operating results and is calculated as follows: Total revenue minus total expenses. The EBIT margin (%) is calculated by dividing EBIT by the total revenue.

Adjusted EBIT

Adjusted EBIT is defined as published EBIT adjusted by a) provisions (including provisions for litigations and trade receivables), b) valuation losses (impairments) of tangible assets and, c) non-recurring items.

EBITDA (Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization)

EBITDA is used for the best analysis of IPTO Group's and IPTO's S.A. operating results and is calculated as follows: Total revenue minus total expenses before depreciation and amortization and valuation losses (impairments) of tangible assets. The EBITDA margin (%) is calculated by dividing the EBITDA by the total revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as published EBITDA adjusted by the effect of a) provisions (including provisions for litigations and trade receivables), b) valuation losses (impairments) of tangible assets and c) non-recurring items.

Adjusted earnings before tax

Adjusted earnings before tax is defined as published earnings before tax adjusted by a) provisions (including provisions for litigations and trade receivables), b) valuation losses (impairments) of tangible assets, c) non-recurring items and d) non-recurring financial income/expenses.

Adjusted net income

Adjusted net income is defined as published Group net income adjusted by a) provisions (including provisions for litigations and trade receivables), b) valuation losses (impairments) of tangible assets, c) non-recurring items and d) non-recurring financial income/ expenses.

Net debt/EBITDA

The ratio reflects how earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of the IPTO Group and the IPTO S.A. cover net debt (as defined in the following paragraph).

Net debt

Net debt is defined asthe IPTO Group and the IPTO S.A. debt (current and non-current portion of debt, including finance lease liabilities) minus cash and cash equivalents and indicates the level of liquidity as well as the ability of the Group and the IPTO S.A. to repay the interest.

Return on Equity

This ratio shows how efficiently the IPTO Group and IPTO S.A. used its net assets to generate additional profits and is calculated as follows: Profit before tax divided by equity.

The calculation of the above rates (except for Alternative Performance Measures) directly derived from the Statement of Financial Position and Income Statement.

The following tables analyze the calculation ofselected Alternative Performance Measures:

RAEWW, through Decision 495/2021, established a new methodology for calculating IPTO's Allowed and Required Revenue, which was implemented during the calculation of revenue for the Regulatory Period 2022-2025. RAEWW, with Decision 587/2022, determined Allowed Revenue (AR) for the years of the Regulatory Period 2022-2025. Following IPTO's request regarding the excessive acquisition value of the fixed assets of high-voltage elements of the electric system in Crete (EUR 17.8 million), the RAEWW accepted, through Decision 643/2022, the gradual recognition of this value, and thus, an amount of EUR 4.6 million was recognized in the year 2024, increasing the Allowed Revenue (revised AR) for 2024 to EUR 396,747 thousand. Additionally, within 2023, the recovery of the leasing cost of the substations for Zakynthos, amounted to EUR 3.7 million, was incorporated, which was carried out by the IPTO S.A. due to the exceptional circumstances during the summer of 2022.

For 2024, an Allowed Revenue (AR) of EUR 392,156 thousand was budgeted, increased by EUR 20.1 million compared to 2023. For the years 2023 and 2024, the revised Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) (2023: 7.57% and 2024: 7.51%) has been implemented based on Decision E-102/2023, following a proposal by IPTO for the revision of the WACC parameters for the Regulatory Period 2022-2025. Also, in both years, the new revenue model (ECA), commonly accepted by both the Authority and IPTO, was implemented.
