Impact from the sale of Trade Estates shares
On 4/2/2025 Fourlis Group completed the sale of 19,279,935 (16% of the share capital) shares of Trade Estates through a private placement for a price of €29 mil. As a result, the group's shareholding in Trade Estates was reduced to below 50% (47.3%), leading to the loss of control in Trade Estates. At the date of the transaction and in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements", Trade Estates ceased to be consolidated as a subsidiary, with its net assets being deconsolidated from the group's consolidated financial statements. Following the loss of control, the group's remaining participation in Trade Estates was recognized as an investment in an associate and is consolidated using the equity method in accordance with the requirements of IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures". This transaction consists of two separate but simultaneous accounting events (on the one hand, the loss of control in Trade Estates and, on the other hand, the initial recognition and consolidation of the remaining participation as an associate), with the total impact of these two accounting events amounting to a gain of €6.4 mil. in the consolidated financial statements of Fourlis group for the first quarter of 2025.
Through this sale, the group secured liquidity of €29 mil., strengthening its financial position and significantly reducing its net debt. This transaction enhances the group's flexibility in implementing its long-term strategy, while Trade Estates continues its growth in the real estate sector.
The group's Profit Before Tax and Profit After Tax, include Income amounting to 1.4mil from the Associated Company Trade Estates for the period starting from 1/2/2025 until 31/-3/2025. Trade Estates profits within January 2025 are included in the Profit after tax from discontinued activities and amount to €1.2 mil.
Starting from Q1 2025, the group presents EBITDA-adjusted as an alternative profitability metric to better reflect underlying operational performance, excluding the accounting impact of IFRS16.
EBITDA-adjusted reflects earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted to exclude the accounting impact of IFRS 16 lease-related expenses. EBITDA-adjusted reinstates lease expenses in the calculation, providing a clearer representation of the Group's underlying profitability and cost structure, independent of lease accounting treatment. See Appendix for further information.
