Athens, 11 June 2026
1st Quarter 2026 Results
- Higher Revenue and EBITDA in the first quarter, with net profitability under pressure mainly due to increased fleet depreciation
- Consolidated Revenue at €220.9 million, with EBITDA at €51.6 million
Autohellas Group announces its financial results for the first quarter of 2026, with Revenue amounting to €220.9 million, marking a 2% increase compared to the first quarter of 2025.
EBITDA reached €51.6 million, up by 5.8%, while Results after Tax amounted to a loss of €0.6 million, compared to a profit of €1 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decline in net profitability, in the traditionally weaker first quarter due to seasonality, mainly reflects higher depreciation charges related to the Group's continued investment activity and fleet expansion.
The Group's Equity as at 31.03.2026 amounted to €555.5 million.
Despite the uncertainty caused by the geopolitical conditions in the Middle East, the positive momentum in tourist arrivals to Greece during the first quarter of the year points to favourable expectations for the coming period, a development that will contribute to a corresponding growth rate in short-term rentals.
At the same time, the long-term rentals sector continues its strong growth trajectory, within a highly competitive environment, as the provision of end-to-end management and support services for leased vehicles, even by small-sized leasing companies, is increasingly becoming the preferred choice for corporate clients and private individuals.

Analysis by Segment:
Car Rentals in Greece (Hertz)
The activity of Car Rentals in Greece continued its strong momentum, with Revenue increasing by 7.3% in the first quarter of 2026 to reach €63.1 million.
This improved performance was driven by continued strong demand from corporate clients as well as by tourist activity extending over a longer period. Despite the positive Revenue trend, profitability was impacted by higher depreciation charges, as a result of fleet expansion in previous years, a factor that supports the future growth of the activity.
International Activity of Car Rentals (Hertz)
Revenue from the International Activity related to Car Rentals amounted to €37.6 million, compared to €31.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, marking an increase of 18.3%.
Growth was driven primarily by Portugal, where revenue rose significantly (+39%) from both rentals and used fleet sales, leading to an improvement at EBITDA level. Despite the improvement, net profitability remained negative, mainly due to higher depreciation charges, in line with an ongoing fleet renewal and upgrade plan.
In the Balkan markets and Cyprus, the Group delivered a stable performance compared to the first quarter of last year, with a modest increase in Revenue (+5%) while maintaining profitability at EBIT and profit before tax levels.
Car Trade and Services
During the first quarter of 2026, the activity of Car Trade and Services in Greece recorded a 4.6% decrease in Revenue, contributing a total of €120.2 million to the Group's Revenue.
It is noted that the activity of Italian Motion (FIAT/JEEP/Alfa Romeo), which is not included in the Consolidated Revenue (equity method), recorded sales of €35.2 million during the first quarter of 2026, further enhancing the overall trading activity of the Group.
Additionally, in May 2026 the Group announced the launch of the new Lepas brand of the Chery Group in the Greek market through Italian Motion, a development that reinforces its portfolio expansion strategy and creates additional growth prospects for the Group's Car Trade segment.
