Report on Review of Interim Financial Information
To the Board of directors of AUTOHELLAS Tourist and Trading Société Anonyme
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed company and consolidated statement of financial position of "AUTOHELLAS Tourist and Trading Société Anonyme" (the "Company"), as of 30 June 2023 and the related condensed separate and consolidated statements of profit or loss, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow statements for the six-month period then ended, and the selected explanatory notes that comprise the interim condensed financial information and which form an integral part of the six-month financial report as required by L.3556/2007.
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim condensed financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as they have been adopted by the European Union and applied to interim financial reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim condensed financial information based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, as they have been transposed into Greek Law and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

More specifically, in the first half of 2023, tourism continued with the same dynamics it developed during the second half of 2022, even surpassing the levels of 2019 in select markets. At the same time, there is a gradual recovery of the supply chain of cars and spare parts, and as a result the registrations of new cars have significantly increased compared to those in the first half of 2022.
The combination of the growth of the tourist sector and the car sector led to organic growth in all the Group's activities, long and short-term rentals, Import/Distribution and Retail trade of new cars as well as sales of used cars.
But at the same time, the energy crisis that has affected the European economy leads to inflationary pressures and increases in car costs, interest rates and other operating expenses, affecting the financial results of the Group.
In the second half of 2023, a relative increase compared to the corresponding period last year is expected in both tourist arrivals and car registrations, but at a lower rate than in the first half of 2023.
i.Short and long-term leases in Greece
The 1st half of the year brought to the Long-Term Leasing (Leasing) sector, after the era of the pandemic, steadily increasing arrivals of new cars to cover orders (renewals but also additional needs) of our clientele. The problems concerning preparation and internal transport of the cars created delays and disruption in the market. We look forward to an even stronger second half in car arrivals and the relative normalization of the market across the spectrum for better coverage and service to our customers.
In the Short-term leases (Rent a Car) sector, the rentals of the first semester showed a slight upward change compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, a result that was also affected by the increase in the total fleet of rental cars, following the relative normalization of global production and improvement in new vehicle delivery times.
The second half is traditionally the strongest as it is affected by the important tourist season of the third quarter. The increase in arrivals is expected to continue during this period as well, but at a lower rate as, since the second half of 2022, tourism had recovered and reached levels even higher than those of the pre-coronavirus period.
We are therefore conservative in our forecasts for the 2nd half of 2023 regarding rental figures as well as total revenues, with rental prices under relative pressure, but remaining considerably higher than the pre-pandemic era. In any case, the third quarter of the year is still ongoing, and the forecast is subject to change as last-minute bookings have increased.
The commitment to the continuous improvement of the services provided and the infrastructure of the company in network and systems, as well as the continuous renewal of the car fleet, remain firmly at the center of the company's strategic decisions.
ii.Cars and spare part sales and services
In the first half of 2023, a gradual improvement was observed in the production chain following the problems that had been created due to lack of raw materials. However, the rate of normalization of the production of the manufacturers, represented by the importing companies of the group, was not as expected. The activity of import and trade of cars and spare parts dealt effectively with the problem and showed an increase in sales compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, which resulted in the importing companies further improving their profitability.
The relative improvement of the production chain positively affected the first half of 2023 and the activity of the retail sale of cars and after-sales services, thus improving the sales of new cars with a simultaneous increase in the market share and also in the revenues from the provision of services (After Sales). At the same time, the dynamic development of the retail sale of used cars continued, resulting in the improvement of the financial results of this activity.
In the second half of the year, both the activity of importing and trading cars-spare parts, as well as the activity of the retail sale of cars and after-sales services, will take advantage of the further improvement of the production chain, aiming to improve market share and maintain profitability at satisfactory levels.
iii.Long- and short-term leases abroad
The company operates, through its subsidiaries, in the markets of the Balkans, Cyprus, and the recently added market of Portugal. In these markets, tourist traffic in the first half of 2023 recovered, reaching the levels of 2019 with a positive effect on short-term rentals.
Specifically in the case of Portugal, tourist traffic exceeded that of the corresponding period of 2019, while the figures of the subsidiary showed a similar growth with the aim of further expanding activities and market share.
At the same time, in the less touristic markets of Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia, where the share of executive leasing is stronger, the Group's subsidiaries maintain their growth rate by focusing on the development of long-term leases to small and mediumsized enterprises despite inflationary trends.
In terms of used fleet sales, further emphasis was placed on all subsidiaries, improving efficient fleet management and contributing significantly to the growth of financial results.
Finally, all international activity, in the markets where the Group was active in 2022, showed organic growth, while the addition of Portugal contributed to more than doubling turnover.
INFORMATION RELATED TO TREASURY SHARES
Following the Ordinary General Meeting of the Company's shareholders of July 15, 2020, during which a program for the purchase of the Company's own shares was approved, in accordance with article 49 of Law 4548/2018 and the more specific terms set by this decision, as well as of the application and execution of this decision of the Board of Directors of the Company of July 23, 2020, the Company has made as at 30.06.2023 successive acquisitions of its shares as follows:

MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The risks and uncertainties that may affect the Group are described below:
i.Exchange rate risk
The Group, through its subsidiaries, operates in Portugal, Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Ukraine. The existing operations of the Group abroad refer both in short-term and long-term leases. Due to these operations, the Group transacts with clients and suppliers outside the European Economic Area and consequently holds assets and liabilities which are expressed in different currencies than the Euro, which is the reporting currency of the Group. More specifically, the Group's subsidiaries in Romania, Serbia and Ukraine have liabilities/assets in RON, RSD and UAH respectively. However, these subsidiaries do not expose the Group into a material exchange rate risk due to their size and the currencies that they use.
ii.Interest rate risk
For the majority of their bank loans, the Company's and the Group's borrowing costs are based on floating interest rates. It is noted that the Company entered into Interest Rate Swap agreements to hedge the interest rate risk. In total, the Company as at 30.06.2023 had active Interest Rate Swap agreements with a total nominal value of €150,000,000.
iii.Credit risk
The Company does not have substantial credit risk and the retail sales in short-term and long-term rentals are mainly made through credit cards and electronic banking transactions respectively. At Group level, wholesales are made only after thorough checks on the customers' financial reliability have been conducted, and in most cases advance payments or guarantees are obtained. In addition, the company and its subsidiaries pay close attention to its credit collection period and act accordingly. Potential credit risk exists also for the Group's cash, but for the deposit products are used recognised financial institutions with high credit standing. Additionally, in most of these cases, the Group has debt obligations of a higher amount.
iv.Market price risk
With regard to market price risk, the Company and consequently the Group as at 30.06.2023 are exposed to the fluctuation risk of the stock price of Aegean Airlines S.A. During the first half of 2023, there was a positive effect on the other comprehensive income of the Company and consequently of the Group.
The Company and the Group are also exposed to used car price reduction risk. The Company's and the Group's ability to sell its used car fleet could be reduced due to several reasons, including the macroeconomic environment, changes in the operational model of the Rent-a-Car sector, regulatory changes (such as changes in taxation, in environmental frameworks, as well as an oversupply of new cars in the market), that will result in a reduction towards the demand of used cars and the subsequent reduction in their prices. The Company and the Group have been dealing even to date with the risk of a reduction in resale prices through continuous market research and marketability-based fleet configuration. At the same time, the Company makes adjustments to the depreciation rates if required so that the residual book value does not deviate significantly from market prices.
Finally, both the Group and the Company are exposed to property value changes. In the first half of 2008 there was a change in the measurement method of the company's properties, which are no longer valued based at their historical cost but at their fair value. As a result, changes in the real estate market prices affect fair values. The Company revaluates its properties on an annual basis.
v.Sales seasonality
The sales of the Company's and the Group's short-term car rental sector (Rent a Car) are affected by strong seasonality, especially in the Greek market, as they depend to a large extent on tourist traffic and tourist arrivals. Specifically, in the Greek market, approximately 57% of the Group's total short-term car rental income is realised in the months of July-September, and in foreign countries the corresponding percentage amounts to 42% in the summer months. As a result, sales of short-term rentals are vulnerable to events affecting the tourism industry, especially if they occur at the beginning of the tourist season. However, sales of long-term car rentals are a key factor in smoothing out seasonality, as they are equally distributed over time. In addition, the Company enters into short-term lease contracts with domestic market customers with the aim of employing the fleet in a period when the presence of incoming tourism is at low levels.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
All transactions from and to related parties are made under standard market conditions. Significant transactions with related parties as defined by IAS 24 (provided they are legal entities controlled by them, as determined by IAS 27), are described in detail in note 25 of the Interim Condensed Financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2023.
For the Company's transactions from and to its related parties, the provisions of articles 99 to 101 of Law 4548/2018 were followed.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER 30.06.2023
Since the reporting date and until the approval of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information by the Board of Directors, the following significant events have taken place:
• On 17.07.2023, the Extraordinary General Meeting of the company "FCA GREECE SINGLE MEMBER S.A.", decided the share capital decrease of € 30.9 mil. with cash deposit to its 100% parent "ORNOS S.A.". Following that, on 20.07.2023 the Extraordinary General Meeting of the company "ORNOS S.A.", decided the return through share capital decrease of € 15.3 mil.to Autohellas, which owns 51% of the company, and the partial repayment of a bond loan of € 14.7 to the company Samelet Motors Ltd, which owns 49% of the company.

I. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. General information
AUTOHELLAS Tourist and Trading Société Anonyme, was incorporated in Greece in 1962 and its shares are traded in the "Travel & Tourism" sector of the Athens Stock Exchange. At the approval date of the interim condensed financial information the company MAIN STREAM S.A. owns 61.25% of the Company's shares.
The Group, through its subsidiaries and associates, operates in Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Ukraine, and Portugal.
The Group's principal activities comprise car rentals and car sales.
The Company's registered office is at Viltanioti 31, Kifissia, Attica, Greece. The Company's website address is www.autohellas.gr and its General Commercial Register number is 000250501000.
This interim financial information has been approved by the Board of Directors on 5 September 2023.
The interim condensed financial information, the independent auditor's review report and the Board of Directors' report accompanying the interim condensed consolidated financial information of the Group, are posted on the Company's website www.autohellas.gr
The amounts of the interim condensed financial information are presented in Euros, unless specifically stated otherwise.
The interim condensed financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation
This financial information consists of the standalone interim condensed financial information of AUTOHELLAS Tourist and Trading Société Anonyme (the "Company") and the consolidated interim condensed financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries (together "Autohellas" or the "Group") for the 1st half of 2023, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as adopted by the European Union (EU), and in particular in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
This financial information does not include all the information required in the annual financial statements and should therefore be examined in combination with the published audited annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are available on the Company's website at the web address https://www.autohellas.gr/en/investors/financial-statements/.
This financial information has been prepared on a historical cost basis with the exception of certain financial assets, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property which are measured at fair value. The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The preparation of the 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 Company's accounting policies. Moreover, the use of estimates and assumptions is required that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of preparation of financial information and the reported income and expense amounts during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the best possible knowledge of management with respect to the current conditions and activities, the actual results can eventually differ from these estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial information, are disclosed in note 3.
Seasonality of activities
The Group is affected by the seasonal nature of its activities. The short-term car leases show a decrease during the winter months and increased activity during the summer months, for the majority of the countries in which the Group operates. Therefore, the income of the third quarter of the year is higher compared to the income from short-term leases of the other quarters.
Effects of energy and economic crisis
During the 1st half of 2023, in an effort to contain and control inflation, the European Central Bank proceeded with successive interest rate increases. The increased borrowing costs, as a result of high interest rates, are likely to cause divestment and therefore a growth slowdown in European markets.
2.2 New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations:
Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. The Group's evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows.
(i) Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year
- IAS 1 (Amendments) 'Presentation of Financial Statements' and IFRS Practice Statement 2 'Disclosure of Accounting policies' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023) The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information and provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures.
- IAS 8 (Amendments) 'Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023) The amendments clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates.
- IAS 12 (Amendments) 'Deferred tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023) The amendments require companies to recognise deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. This will typically apply to transactions such as leases for the lessee and decommissioning obligations.
- IAS 12 'Income taxes' (Amendments): International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023) The amendments introduce a mandatory temporary exception from accounting for deferred taxes arising from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) international tax reform. The amendments also introduce targeted disclosure requirements.
The temporary exception applies immediately and retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, whereas the targeted disclosure requirements will be applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
(ii) Standards and Interpretations effective for subsequent periods
▪ IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements' (Amendments) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)
2020 Amendment 'Classification of liabilities as current or non-current'
The amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date. The amendment also clarifies what IAS 1 means when it refers to the 'settlement' of a liability. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
2022 Amendments 'Non-current liabilities with covenants'
The new amendments clarify that if the right to defer settlement is subject to the entity complying with specified conditions (covenants), this amendment will only apply to conditions that exist when compliance is measured on or before the reporting date. Additionally, the amendments aim to improve the information an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with covenants within twelve months after the reporting period.
The 2022 amendments changed the effective date of the 2020 amendments. As a result, the 2020 and 2022 amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 and should be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8. As a result of aligning the effective dates, the 2022 amendments override the 2020 amendments when they both become effective in 2024. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
▪ IFRS 16 (Amendment) 'Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)
The amendment clarifies how an entity accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. Sale and leaseback transactions where some or all the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are most likely to be impacted. An entity applies the requirements retrospectively back to sale and leaseback transactions that were entered into after the date when the entity initially applied IFRS 16. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
▪ IAS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows' and IFRS 7 'Financial Instruments' (Amendments) - Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)
The amendments require companies to disclose information about their Supplier Finance Arrangements such as terms and conditions, carrying amount of financial liabilities that are part of such arrangements, ranges of payment due dates and liquidity risk information. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
▪ IAS 21 'The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates' (Amendments) - Lack of exchangeability (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025)
These amendments require companies to apply a consistent approach in assessing whether a currency can be exchanged into another currency and, when it cannot, in determining the exchange rate to use and the disclosures to provide. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
3. Critical estimates and judgements
The preparation of interim condensed financial information in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates and the exercise of judgment by Management in the process of applying the accounting principles. It also requires the use of calculations and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent claims and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed financial information, and the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Although these calculations are based on management's best knowledge of current conditions and activities, actual results may ultimately differ from these calculations. Areas involving complex transactions involving a high degree of subjectivity or assumptions and estimates that are material to the financial statements are noted below.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be wrong.
(i) Estimation of current income tax payable
The Group is subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination cannot be assessed with certainty in the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises a provision for potential cases that might arise in the foreseeable future based on assessment of the probabilities as to whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome on these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.
(ii) Estimated goodwill impairment
The Group tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis. For 2022 and 2021, reporting period, the recoverable amount of the cash generating units (CGUs) was determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a fiveyear period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using estimated growth rates that are consistent with forecasts specific to the industry in which each CGU operates. The sensitivity to estimates and assumptions used is presented in note 10.
(iii) Estimation of pension benefit obligation
The Group provides pension benefit plans as an employee benefit in certain territories. Determining the value of these plans requires several actuarial assumptions and estimates about discount rates, future salary increases and future pension increases. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.
(iv) Useful life and residual values of vehicles
Vehicles are depreciated over their estimated useful lives based on their estimated residual values. These estimates are reviewed taking into account relevant market related factors. Given market volatility and the large number of different vehicles, the estimation of the residual values involves a high degree of judgement. A change in these accounting estimates leads to a change in depreciation which will have an effect in the current period and/or is expected to have an impact in subsequent periods.
(v) Estimation of fair values of land and buildings and investment property
The Group assigns on an annual basis independent valuations of investment property, land and buildings which are classified as tangible assets in order to determine their fair value.
Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for differences in the nature, geography or status of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Group applies alternative valuation methods, such as recent prices in less active markets or discounted cash flow projections. Valuations are performed by professional appraisers possessing recognised and relevant professional qualifications and have recent experience in the geographic location and in the category of the investment properties under valuation.
(vi) Impairment of financial assets
The loss allowances for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Details of the key assumptions and inputs used are disclosed in note 4.1.
(vii) Impairment of investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with the accounting policy stated of the Company.
(viii) Business combinations
On the acquisition of a company or business, a determination of the fair value and the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets acquired is performed, which requires the application of judgement. Future events could cause the assumptions used by the Group to change, which could have an impact on the results and net position of the Group.
4. Financial risk management
4.1 Financial risk factors
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the volatility of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's cash flows.
The Group's risk management is predominantly controlled by a central treasury department (group treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group's operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
(i) Market risk
(a) Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to the effect of foreign currency risk on future transactions, recognised monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the local entity's functional currency, as well as net investments in foreign operations.
The Group, through its subsidiaries, operates in Portugal, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Ukraine. The existing operations of the Group abroad refer both in short-term and long-term leases of cars. Due to these operations, the Group transacts with clients and suppliers and holds assets and liabilities which are expressed in different currencies than the Euro, which is the reporting currency of the Group. More specifically, the Group's subsidiaries in Romania, the Republic of Serbia and Ukraine have liabilities/assets in RON, RSD and UAH respectively. However, these subsidiaries do not expose the Group to a material exchange rate risk due to their size and the currencies that they use.
(b) Cash flow risk due to changes in interest rates
As at 30.06.2023, 97.3% of the Group's bank borrowings and 96.8% of the Company's bank borrowings are of floating interest rates, similarly to 2022. This has the consequence that borrowing costs are based on floating interest rates which expose the Group to cash flows risk due to changes in interest rates. As a hedge against the interest rate risk, the Group has entered into interest rate swap contracts for the amount of € 150 mil..
(c) Price risk
The Group's exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Group and classified in the statement of financial position either as at fair value through other comprehensive income (note 13) or at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group's equity investments that are publicly traded on the Athens Stock Exchange are classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(ii) Credit risk
(a) Risk management
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables.
If wholesale customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, credit control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual credit limits set are based on internal or external evaluations according to the limits set by the board of directors. Compliance of wholesale customers with credit limits is monitored on a regular basis by the relevant management.
The Company has no significant concentrations of credit risk. Retail sales are mainly via credit cards, electronic banking transactions and to a very small extent cash. Wholesale operations are conducted after the assessment of the creditworthiness of the counterparty, while in most cases, guarantees or prepayments are received. At the same time, the Company and its subsidiaries continuously monitor the aging of their claims and take necessary action, depending on the case. Cash and cash equivalents of the company and its Greek subsidiaries, that represent around 80% of the Group's total cash and cash equivalents are invested in Greek systemic financial institutions. As far as foreign subsidiaries are concerned, cash and cash equivalents are invested mainly in local subsidiaries of international, investment-grade, financial institutions with high credit ratings. Cash and cash equivalents are invested for short-term. Potential credit risk is also present in the Group's cash flows. Additionally, in most of these cases, the Group has debt obligations of a higher amount.
(b) Security of claims
For the majority of trade receivables from wholesale customers, the Group obtains security in the form of guarantees which can be offset with the claimed amounts if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement.
(c) Impairment of financial assets
The Group has the following types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model:
- Trade receivables
- •Finance lease receivables
While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.
Trade receivables and lease receivables
The Group applies the simplified approach of IFRS 9 for the calculation of expected credit losses, in which an expected loss provision is used for the entire life of trade receivables and finance lease receivables.
Trade receivables and lease receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a reasonable period of time.
Impairment losses on trade receivables and lease receivables are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item
Other financial assets at amortised cost
There are no other financial assets at amortised cost which include loans to related parties and key management personnel and other receivables.
(iii) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. At the end of the reporting period the Group held deposits at call of €72,222,306 (31.12.2022 - €93,793,719) which are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. In addition, the Company through securitisation of future receivables has ensured the financing for the purchase of long-term lease vehicles.
4.2 Capital management
(i) Risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to
- safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
- maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt
In consistency with market practices, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:
Net debt (as the difference between cash and cash equivalents and borrowings, including finance lease liabilities and securitisation)
divided by
Total Equity (as shown in the statement of financial position, including non-controlling interests)
During 2022, the Group's strategy was to maintain a gearing ratio between 1 and 2 for both the Group and the Company. The gearing ratios as at 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022 were as follows:
| Group | Company | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Debt less cash and cash equivalents | 605,614,395 | 487,276,904 | 534,216,199 | 457,803,386 | ||
| Total equity | 405,205,123 | 344,959,144 | 292,402,377 | 244,529,615 | ||
| Gearing ratio | 1,49 | 1,41 | 1,83 | 1,87 |
(ii) Loan covenants
Under the terms of the major borrowing facilities, the Group is required to comply with the following financial covenants:
- Net debt to equity
- Net Debt to Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA)
- Earnings before Interest, Taxes to Net Interest
- Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) to Net Interest
- Total Liabilities to Equity
- Total Liabilities less Cash and cash equivalents to Equity
The Group is in compliance with these covenants throughout the reporting period.

The respective income tax rates for the first half of 2023 for the international activity are as follows:
| Country | Rate |

| Bulgaria | 10% |

Greek tax regulations and related clauses are subject to interpretation by the tax authorities and administrative courts of law. Tax returns are filed annually. The profits or losses declared for tax purposes remain provisional until such time as the tax authorities examine the returns and the records of the tax payer and a final assessment is issued. From the financial year 2011 and onwards, the tax returns are subject to the audit tax certificate process (described below). Net operating losses which are tax deductible, can be carried forward against taxable profits for a period of five years from the year they are generated.
The Company establishes provisions for taxes that may arise from the non-audited fiscal years based on its experience.
(i) Tax audit certificate
Regarding the Company and the subsidiaries based in Greece, the years 2011 to 2021 have been audited by the elected by L.4548/2018, in accordance with article 82 of L.2238/1994 and article 65A of Law 4771/13, and the relevant tax compliance reports. According to POL. 1006/05.01.2016, companies that submitted a tax compliance report without remarks for tax violations are not excluded from conducting a regular tax audit by tax authorities. Therefore, it is possible that tax authorities will demand to conduct their tax audit on the company's books. However, the Company's management estimates that the results from potential regular tax audits from tax authorities, if conducted, will not have a significant effect on the company's financial position. Similarly, the tax audit for the Parent Company and its subsidiaries based in Greece for the year 2022 is carried out by the statutory auditor. Upon completion of the tax audit, management does not expect to incur significant tax liabilities other than those recorded and reflected in the interim condensed financial information.
