Statement by the Chair and CEO
Ms Lou Fais, Chair of the Board of Directors, and Mr Sam Fais, Chief Executive Officer of Fais Group, issued the following joint statement:
"Despite the subdued retail environment in Greece in 2025, the Group recorded improvements across key financial indicators, with sales exceeding €225m and comparable EBITDA reaching approximately €45m. The maintenance of strong EBITDA margins and the strengthening of working capital are clear evidence of our financial resilience and confirm the stability and robustness of our business model. As we stated at the time of our stock exchange listing, we have proceeded with corporate transformations, acquired minority stakes we did not fully own, merged Group companies and reduced our bank debt. During the year we made significant investments that reinforce our presence in both the domestic and international markets. At City Link, the Chloé as well as the Jimmy Choo boutiques and the new KALOGIROU opened, while we accelerated the Kiko Milano rollout plan with a total of 11 new stores, including at Designer Outlet, at the Mall of Cyprus in Nicosia and at My Mall in Limassol, Romania, while we entered the Czech Republic with two new stores in Prague.
In September, the new Harley-Davidson dealership-workshop opened, enhancing the diversification of our portfolio, while we concluded an agreement with ERGON for the lease, management and maintenance of Modiano Market. We also recently announced the sale of the hotel in Santorini for €28.3m, a move that further strengthens the Group's financial position and frees up resources to pursue our growth objectives.
The capital inflows from the stock exchange listing and the investments made by the Group during 2025 are already reflected in the financial results, contributing to its further development. We remain committed to executing our strategy with transparency, consistency and dedication. Our objective is to create long-term value for our shareholders, partners and employees."
