The year 2018 was an important milestone for the Greek economy, as it was marked by the completion of the country's third economic adjustment program and the adoption of measures for the relief of the Greek sovereign debt, which are expected to ensure its viability over the medium term. The positive effects of these developments are reflected both on the economic sentiment and the prospects the Greek economy. According to latest official data, Greek GDP growth rate reached 1,9% year-on-year in 2018 and is projected to exceed 2% during 2019.
After a long period of painful adjustment, Greece has achieved fiscal balance, several structural deficiencies have been addressed and important economic indicators are steadily improving. Prospects for accelerating growth are supported by a set of reforms that were implemented during the past years in critical sectors, such as the labor, goods and services markets. Recent positive developments, including the upgrade of Greece's credit rating by Moody's and the successful launch of a 10 year government bond issue, reflect the gradual restoration of market confidence in the Greek economy and the conviction that the country is returning on positive track.
Notwithstanding the positive outlook, there remain significant risks and uncertainties, domestic as well as external, that can negatively impact the economic environment in the coming months.
Greek sovereign bond yields remain high, amid turbulence in the international financial markets, affecting borrowing costs for domestic banks, businesses and households. Also, despite specific positive developments in the financial sector, including the removal of capital controls on domestic transactions and further easing of restrictions on transactions abroad, the stock of non-performing loans of banks remains overly high and the recovery trend of private deposits was halted during 2018. As a result, credit contraction continued in the course of the past year and the average interest rate on bank lending to the private sector increased slightly, keeping borrowing costs for Greek businesses high, compared to the rest of the eurozone.
At the international level, the rise of protectionism and the emergence of trade tensions between large economies, the upward trend in the interest rates of important currencies, as well as a series of regional crises, create an environment of intense volatility, with consequences that have been reflected in the deceleration of global growth in 2018. In Europe, particularly, negative externalities may be caused, among others, by the climax of uncertainty over the possibility of a nodeal Brexit, the unease over the fiscal policy in Italy, as well a broader concern over the rise of Euroscepticism ahead of the upcoming European Elections.
MYTILINAIOS, having successfully completed a corporate restructuring, continued in 2018 its course of evolution into a strong international company. Having enhanced its organizational and financial structures, pursued the implementation of a targeted investment plan and maintained a strong extrovert orientation, the company achieved positive economic
performance for yet another year. It built the foundation for further robust growth in the coming years, to the benefit of its employees, its shareholders and the Greek economy.
The upward trend that followed the prices for Aluminium during 2017 continued during the first half of 2018 with a constant decreasing trend during the second half of 2018, mainly due to the partial withdrawal of the penalties against Rusal and the expectation for the upcoming full withdrawal.
More specifically, during 2018, the average price for Aluminium in the LME stood at \$2.112/t, up by approximately 6.7% in relation to the corresponding period of the previous year, while the premia for Aluminium products followed an increasing trend of 22%.
The API Index for Alumina recorded an outstanding performance during 2018 due to a combination of events that have affected material's availability on the western hemisphere, such as the new policy of the USA towards Russia which affected the biggest Alumina's and Aluminium's producer outside China, as well as the partial cessation of the world's biggest factory in Alumina production (ALUNORTE). The price has been increased by +119\$/t (+33%) in relation to the average price of 2017. At the same time, there has been a positive effect at the Alumina's sales prices except API.
The performance of the USD against Euro was appreciable weakened, with the Euro/USD parity standing at 1,18 for 2018, compared to 1,13 for 2017.
During 2018, raw material prices were appreciable increased in relation to the corresponding period of 2017. Energy price has also been increased (Electric Power and Natural Gas) as well as CO2 emissions' price.
In terms of technical results, the historical performance records led to the exceptional annual performance of alumina and solid metal due to the productivity investments of the Project "THE BEST".
The financial results of FY 2018 reflect a positive course of the EPC & Infrastructure Sector (EPC Projects), proving its durability.
More specifically, EPC Project Sector turnover came up to € 367.3 million compared to the € 501.4 million of previous year
The main factors for the above course of the EPC Sector are:
a) The project «Engineering, Procurement, and Constuction (EPC) of a 192 MW Power Plant» in Ghana, with a contractual value of \$ 175 million, which recorded a turnover of € 76.8 million.
b) The project «Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) of a 250 MW Power Plant» in Ghana, with a contractual value of \$ 369 million., which recorded a turnover of € 43.2 million.
c) The continuation of the project «Construction of remaining infrastructure, permanent way, signaling-telecommanding, telecommunications and electrical engineering works for the tunnel facilities for the new railway line Kiato-Rododafni» with a total budget of € 227 million, which in the current period recorded a turnover of € 38.3 million.
d) The project «Engineering and Construction of a 50MWp Photovoltaic Power Plant» in Kazakstan, with a contractual value of \$ 32.4 million, which recorded a turnover of € 22.2 million.
e) The continuation of the project «Long-term Maintenance of the Unit 5 Gas Turbines at the Megalopoli Power Plant» with a contractual value of € 93.8 million., which recorded a turnover of € 21.5 million.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the EPC Sector reached € 54.4 million. (14.81%).
In 2018, an agreement was signed with the Federal Government of Nigeria for the full EPC services for four universities, including power generation plants, street lighting and training centers, as well as operation and maintenance services. This first off-grid/hybrid project for MYTILINEOS in Africa is a landmark project for the EPC and Infrastrure Sector, confirming the strategic expansion of the company's activities in the off grid/hybrid space.
METKA EGN, has signed a contract with Talasol Solar S.L.U., a subsidiary of Ellomay Capital Ltd., to carry out a large-scale solar power plant, with installed capacity of 300 MWp. The scope includes the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the Talasol Project and the ancillary facilities for injecting power into the grid, including a 400-kV step-up substation, the high voltage interconnection line to the point of connection to the grid and performance of two years of operation and maintenance (O&M) services. The Contract value is just below €200Mio.
METKA EGN also has signed an agreement with HC ESS3 LIMITED and Corylus Capital LLP for the EPC of a new 20 MW hybrid energy storage system (ESS) project in the United Kingdom, which will provide Fast Frequency Response (FFR) and other ancillary services to National Grid.
Finally, it should be noted that Group's backlog of the existing projects amounts to 984 mio. In the following table is shown the expected recognition of revenue for the main projects per country which account for more than 10% of the total backlog.

*The amount of € 420 mio concerning the backlog of Deir Azzur project is not included in the above table. For the aforementioned project the Group has already announced the pause of the construction on site.
The Greek wholesale market of electric power in 2018 was marked by a) a decreased demand due to mild winter (1st trimester), b) an increased gas price due both to Brent and the redirection of the main LNG volume (alternative gas pipeline) to Asian markets, c) an increased System Marginal Price (SMP) due mainly to the rapid increase of the pollution allowance price (closed at 23€/ton on December 2018 compared to 7.6€/ton on December 2017), which however did not cover the increased cost of natural gas, due to the decreasing impact of the increased hydroelectric production on the SMP and d) the long delay in the application of the Transitional Flexibility Compensation Mechanism, which resulted in not receiving a compensation for the flexibility supply service of the Production Units in the first 9-month period of the year.
Regarding the electric power production mix, the natural gas units participated with a 29%, the lignite also with 29%, the large hydroelectric units with 10%, the total of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) with 20%, and the remaining 12% was pure imports. Although 2018 was an extensive maintenance year for the thermoelectric plant of Agios Nikolaos, the thermal units and the active RES projects of MYTILINEOS covered an 10% of the local electric power demand.
Regarding the retail electric power market, the share of private suppliers reached 19.4% at the end of 2018, compared to the 14.5% of 2017, with the share of MYTILINEOS being 4% and being in the first position among the independent suppliers on a cash level (130.000 accounts). In 2018 MYTILINEOS became active also in the retail market of natural gas, offering combined packages with electricity. At the same time, Company's partnership with Greek Telecommunications Organisation (OTE) Group has been extended, providing a nationwide branch network for customer services and during the second half of 2018 Protergia's first owned store in Thessaloniki became operational, as well as a second one in Athens/Nea Erythrea.
Regarding the cross-border electricity trade, the Company traded a quantity of 1.058.598 MWh, showing an increase of 210% compared to 2017.
It should be noted that, with the decision nr. 744/2018 of the Regulatory Authority for Energy (RAE), the Company received an electricity generation licence from a gas fired independent electric power plant, of 666 MW in Agios Nikolaos, Delfoi – Distomo – Arachova - Antikira - Viotia
In August 2018, a new 48 MW Wind Park became operational, thus increasing the Company's production capability from Renewable Source units to 175MW. At the same time, a construction of 3 additional Wind Parks of total power 34,45 MW has begun.

The Group's policy is to monitor its performance on a month to month basis thus tracking on time and effectively the deviations from its goals and undertaking necessary actions. The group evaluates its financial performance using the following generally accepted Key Performance Indicators (KPI's).
-EBITDA (Operating Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization): The Group defines the «Group EBITDA» quantity as profits/losses before tax, itemized for financial and investment results; for total depreciation (of tangible and intangible fixed assets) as well as for the influence of specific factors, i.e. shares in the operational results of associates where these are engaged in business in any of the business sectors of the Group, as well as the influence of write-offs made in transactions with the aforementioned mentioned associates.
- ROCE (Return on Capital Employed): This index is derived by dividing profit before tax and financial results to the total capital employed by the Group, these being the sum of the Net Position; the sum of loans; and long - term forecasts.
- ROE (Return on Equity): This index is derived by dividing profit after tax by the Group's Net Position.
- EVA (Economic Value Added): This metric is derived by multiplying the total capital employed with the difference (ROCE – Capital Expenditure) and constitutes the amount by which the financial value if the company increases. To calculate the capital expenditure, the Group uses the WACC formula – « Weighted Cost of Capital».
The Weighted average cost of capital is calculated as, the quotient of Equity Capital to Total Capital Employed (Equity Capital and Debt) multiplied by the return on Equity* plus the quotient of Debt to Total Capital Employed (Equity Capital and Debt) multiplied by the return on Debt adjusted by the company tax rate (due to tax saving on interest paid).
$$WACC = \frac{E}{E+D}r_E + \frac{D}{E+D}r_D(1-Tc)$$
Where E Equity Capital D Debt rE Return on equity rD Return on debt Tc Tax rate
*Return on Equity is calculated by utilizing the "Capital Asset Pricing Model" (CAPM) and is equal to risk-free rate of return plus a risk premium multiplied by beta coefficient that reveals the variability of the stock in relation to market fluctuations.
WACC for 2018 equals 8.83% and is based on Group's country exposure.
The above indicators for 2018 compared to 2017 are as follows:
During the reporting period, the Group proceed to the following:
PPC, and in the event that the General Court's decision is annulled, the amount will benefit the results and cash flows in a subsequent year.
All four universities will be powered by hybrid power plants utilizing renewable energy sources integrated with energy storage and diesel generation as back-up, enabling reliable power supply for the universities totally autonomously from the grid. In total, 7.5MW of off-grid hybrid power will be installed, incorporating the award winning EXERON technology and the latest developments in mini-grid design.
The Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders of the company took place on June 07 2018, and the following decisions, among others, were taken:
In the Metallurgy and Mining sector, the growth rate of global aluminium demand is expected to remain strong, thus helping support aluminium and alumina's prices.
The API Index is expected to remain high for the remainder of the year, as the recommencement of the production of the factory ALUNORTE in Brazil is not expected to occur. Accordingly, final products' premia (billetes – plates) remain increased.
Raw materials' prices experience a downward trend which is expected to strengthen in the future and improve production cost and financial results respectively.
For the EPC Sector, 2019 is expected to be a year of significant recovery, development and new opportunities. The Group is oriented towards the development of its activities in demanding countries, with its status and know-how giving it a special place in the global market. If there are investment opportunities, the Group shall utilize its significant financing capabilities to create bigger added value for its clients and shareholders.
Based on this strategy, the EPC Sector will focus on a timely execution of the existing contracts and the undertaking of new projects and investments in targeted markets. It will continue to implement its plan for expansion and development of its presence in the markets of Asia and Africa. At the same time, it will seek photovoltaic construction and power storage projects through its subsidiary METKA EGN. Finally, the EPC Sector intends to expand in the development, construction and sale of photovoltaic parks worldwide.
Despite the relative progress achieved in the previous years, the energy market remains in a transitory state and serious regulative changes should be put under way in order to achieve the goals placed for enhancing competition and effectively open the market.
MYTILINEOS possesses today an installed power of ~1,4 GW from operational thermal power stations and RES projects which makes the Company the biggest independent producer and supplier of energy, having the necessary critical size needed in order to benefit as much as possible from the expected full deregulation of the local market of electric power.
In 2019, the financial results of the Electric Power & Gas Trading Sector are expected to rise due to,
The Group's activities give rise to multiple financial risks, including the current and interest rate related risks; the volatility in market prices; credit risks; and liquidity risks. The Group's risk management program aims at containing potential negative influence to its financial results, as this may arise from the inability to predict financial markets and the volatility with respect to cost and sales variables.
The essential risk management policies are determined by the Group's Management. The risk management policy is applied by the Corporate Treasury Department. The latter acts as a service centre, operating under specific Management - approved lines.
The Group does not exhibit any considerable concentration of credit risk in any of the contracted parties. Credit risk originates from available cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits at banks and financial institutions; also from exposure to client derived credit risk.
Regarding commercial and other claims, the Group is not theoretically exposed to significant credit risks; as of the multifaceted nature of the Group's activities, there is no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to its commercial requirements, as this is allocated over a high number of clients. However, the atypical conditions that dominate the Greek market and several other markets in Europe are forcing the Group to constantly monitor its business claims and also to adopt policies and practices to ensure that such claims are collected. By way of example, such policies and practices include insuring credits where possible; pre-collection of the value of product sold to a considerable degree; safeguarding claims by collateral loans on customer reserves; and receiving letters of guarantee.
To minimize credit risk on cash reserves and cash equivalents; in financial derivate contracts; as well as other short term financial products, the Group specifies certain limits to its exposure on each individual financial institution and only engages in transactions with creditworthy financial institutions of high credit rating.

Goods prices that are mainly determined by international markets and global offer and demand result in the Group's exposure to the relevant prices fluctuation risk.
Goods' prices are connected both to variables that determine revenues (e.g. metal prices at LME) and to the cost (e.g. natural gas prices) of the Group's companies. Due to its activity, the Group is exposed to price fluctuation of aluminium (AL), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) as well as to price fluctuation of natural gas, as production cost.
As regards price fluctuation of metals, the Group's policy is to minimize risk by using financial derivative instruments.
The Group develops activity at international level and is therefore exposed to exchange rate risk that arises mainly from the US dollar. Such risk primarily stems from commercial transactions in foreign currency as well as from net investments in foreign financial entities. For the management of such risk, the Group's Financial Management Department establishes financial derivative and non-derivative instruments with financial organizations for the account and in the name of the Group's companies.
At the Group level, such financial instruments are considered to constitute compensation means for the exchange rate risk of specific assets, liabilities or future commercial transactions
The Group's assets that are exposed to interest rate fluctuation primarily concern cash and cash equivalents. The Group's policy as regards financial assets is to invest its cash in floated interest rates so as to maintain the necessary liquidity while achieving satisfactory return for its shareholders. In addition, for the totality of its bank borrowing, the Group uses floating interest rate instruments. Depending on the level of liabilities in floating interest rate, the Group proceeds to the assessment of interest rate risk and when necessary examines the necessity to use interest bearing financial derivative instruments. The Group's policy consists in minimizing its exposure to interest bearing cash flow risk as regards long-term funding.

The Group's exposure in price risk and therefore sensitivity may vary according to the transaction volume and the price level. However the above sensitivity analysis is representative for the Group exposure in 2018 and 2017.
Mytilineos Group, according to article 6 of law 3557/2007, paid to the Hellenic Government, for the year ended at 31st of December 2018, an amount of 284 thousand Euros, due to the mining activity of its subsidiary company.
The above mentioned amount is related to the Mining Rights of Delphi-Distomon SA subsidiary company.
The process of identifying, understanding and evaluating sustainability issues is an important practice for MYTILINEOS' operations. By means of this process and combining it with the expectations of its Social Partners, the company improves 1its strategy, objectives and social and environmental initiatives, aiming to operate responsibly in all aspects of its business, both locally, nationally and internationally. The results of Materiality process compose the main content of MYTILINEOS Annual Sustainable Development Report, including those issues that can reasonably be material reflecting its economic, environmental and social impacts and influence the decisions of its Social Partners.
The Materiality process is implemented within the company, on an annual basis through the process of internal prioritising of Material issues and outside the company, where a relevant survey of opinion is conducted using a structured questionnaire, every two years, at the main groups of its Social Partners.

3 basic stages
The Stage of Prioritising Sustainable Development issues is implemented by sending a special evaluation file (5-tier scale) to the company's Sectors of Activity for each sustainability issue that has already been identified, followed by workshops involving specialised executives, individual CSR teems groups and the Central CSR office of MYTILINEOS on fully completing the questionnaires and identifying the effects on Sustainable Development. At the same time, a respective survey is conducted every two years, by sending a special evaluation questionnaire (with a 5-tier scale) to the main groups of the company's Social Partners, for them to evaluate the importance of these issues on their part.
Material issues are validated by the Directorates General of Activity Sectors, while the final approval for their publication is granted by the company's CSR Committee.
In 2018, MYTILINEOS implemented the internal prioritising process for Material issues. The issues were addressed both in terms of the extent to which they affect the company's ability to meet its business objectives but also in terms of their impact on Sustainable Development, taking into account the respective national priorities and were combined with the importance that the key groups of the Company's Social Partners attach thereto, based on the results of the relevant 2017 survey. The composition of the findings from the above process confirmed that the issues identified as Material by the Company remain the same for 2018 and are as follows:
The Non-Financial information section includes the relevant reports relating to the above Material Issues of the Company. The data refer to the main Business Sectors of MYTILINEOS and its major subsidiaries within the Greek territory, including the worksites it maintains through the EPC Project Sector in countries abroad. Data from Zinc/Lead Metallurgy and Natural Gas Trading business are not included.
A more detailed presentation of Material Issues and their respective non-financial performance indicators as well as their correlation with the 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030) is included in the MYTILINEOS 2018 Sustainable Development Report (http://www.mytilineos.gr/el-gr/csr-reports/publications
Impacts: The main environmental challenges MYTILINEOS faces in its activities are the following: 1) rational management of reserves and natural resources, 2) energy consumption and control of gas emissions, 3) waste management with emphasis on bauxite residues utilization, 4) control of air quality and 5) restoration of the natural landscape of the areas associated with bauxite mining process and RES projects development.
Worldwide, climate change constitutes one of the most important challenges. MYTILINEOS, acknowledges that energy consumption and, by extension, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions impact both on its operational efficiency and sustainable development in general.
Rigorous compliance with the environmental legislation in force constitutes a key concern across all MYTILINEOS activity. Both compliance with the applicable national and EU environmental requirements and the commitments taken on volunteer basis in addition to the former, contribute to constantly improving the environmental footprint. The company's target is to have the least possible environmental impact in its production processes, its services and products.
The environmental impact stemming from MYTILINEOS activity is determined in the biotic and abiotic natural systems (soil, waters and ecosystems) in the framework of the operation limits of the Business Activity Sectors and of its subsidiaries, in the air quality and in its broader contribution to the air pollutants emissions at national level.
The company contributes directly to the above effects, due to the activity results of its business sectors and its subsidiaries. The company's suppliers and associates have an indirect contribution mainly using non-renewable raw materials in their production processes; its customers contribute indirectly during processing and using the company's products.
Major risks and relevant risk control practices: Based on its environmental impact, MYTILINEOS identifies all the following main risks that are likely to affect its business goals; against such risks, the company has put in place over the years a series of suitable investments to mitigate their likelihood to occur:
| Major Risks | Risk control practices |
|---|---|
| • The limited repositories of bauxite residues constitute a principal environmental hazard in MYTILINEOS Metallurgy sector with a possible negative impact on the company's cost. |
The company consistently invests in research in the use of bauxite residues by participating in European programs of efficient green technologies to produce useful product and materials and in the development of a technology for rare earth elements (REE) mining. |
From the 1 st January to the 31η December 2018 29 • Deviations from the legislation in force or modifications thereof, in relation to Environment or Climate Change issues.
awareness in all employees and a harmonious cooperation with local communities constitute basic elements in MYTILINEOS environmental issues management.
Non-financial KPIs are listed below. The selection was based on their relevance to the Company's activities and the level of their materiality in relation to the environmental issues addressed. The KPIs have been defined in accordance with the GRI STANDARDS.

2Total energy consumption = Energy consumption from non-Renewable sources + Energy consumption from renewable sources + Generated energy - Lost energy. 3Emissions deriving from sources (natural units or processes) belonging to or controlled by the Group
4Emissions deriving from electricity the company purchased from other organizations for its own consumption
5Hazardous and No- hazardous waste (bauxite residues constitute 93% of total waste quantity)
Basic raw materials: About the use of basic non-recyclable raw materials, deriving from non-renewable sources, no significant changes occurred in 2018. The quantity of bauxite that was used in the Metallurgy sector to produce alumina and aluminium was kept at the levels of 2017, posting a marginal increase by 1%, while the total natural gas consumption posted a slight reduction by 3%. The use of alternative raw materials, i.e. by-products or waste from other industries, whereby it is possible to restrict the natural resources consumption, does not yet constitute an applicable practice in aluminium production. In Integrated Projects & Infrastructure Sector, the management of primary natural resources does not exist but the management of semi-finished or finished products, based on specific plans and procedures for each project that determine precisely the use of each material, the way of processing and the precise location and operation. These plans and procedures of the company follow the most recent developments of the relevant know-how.
Energy: The total energy consumption from MYTILINEOS activity in 2018 posted a decline by 6.5% compared to 2017. This decline is mainly attributed to a small decrease in production and to the respective operating hours of the company's Electricity Sector thermal units. In particular, the energy consumption from conventional sources, such as the natural gas dropped by 6,5%, while in total the electricity consumption presented a small increase by 1,4%. At efficiency level, further improvements were made in the production process of the Metallurgy Sector, with a decrease by 3% and 2.3% in special consumptions per ton of alumina and aluminium production respectively. The continuing decrease recorded in the special consumptions of Metallurgy sector is due to the continuing efforts of improvement and the investments in new technologies that were carried out by the company over the last years; it is also due to the controls on work quality, on the optimization of parameters and the personnel sensitization, to the extent it is involved, through special operations plans.
Air Emissions: MYTILINEOS Metallurgy and Electricity Business Activity Sectors produce almost 99% of direct and indirect carbon dioxide emissions (CO2). The direct emissions (scope 1) arise mainly from alumina and aluminium production process (fuels consumption and chemical processing as part of the production process) and from the electricity generation process (natural gas consumption), while the indirect emissions (scope 2) correspond to the electricity consumption. In 2018, the direct emissions posted a slight decrease by 2.2% following the reduced natural gas consumption in the Electricity Sector, while an important differentiation was posted in the indirect emissions, mainly due to the changes annually to conversion factors of electricity from the significant increase of RES share in the energy mix of the country (Eurostat data 2017). The national emissions factor gCO2/kWh (source: Eurostat Electricity conversion data for Greece) was applied for the first time in all company's Business Activity Sectors, in 2018, for reasons of harmonization after the corporate
transformation in 2017. Finally, about the other secondary gaseous emissions, such as the nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx), limit reductions were recorded by 1.1% and 2.2% respectively, since 2017.

Waste: In 2018, the company posted an increase in the total waste quantity by 5.1%. The quantity of waste that was recycled, reused, recovered and reutilized in various ways, either by the company, or through third parties reached 18.4% of total waste, recording a significant increase by almost 90%, namely 81.7 thous. Of additional tons, compared to the respective quantity in 2017. Given that the waste generated by alumina & aluminium production process (bauxite residues) constitute almost 93% of all company's solid waste, MYTILINEOS continues its intensified effrots for waste management and holistic utilization, either by discarding them to production of other industrial materials or by participating in European research and pilot programs. A case in point is the 'SCALE' research program (Production of Scandium compounds and Scandium Aluminum alloys from European resources), coordinated by MYTILINEOS Metallurgy Sector, with the participation of the National Technical University and 19 partners from 9 European countries. The program focuses on rare earth elements (REE) mining and of Scandium (Sc) compounds and Aluminum-Scandium alloys from European metallurgical residues, such as Bauxite residues.
Water: The total water consumption in MYTILINEOS activities in 2018 stood at 5.7 mn. m3 , marginally lower by 1.7% compared to 2017. In total, 168.0 mn. m3of water were drawn and 162.3 mn. m3 were discarded. Moreover, the water percentage that was reused or recycled by the company during its activity, stood at 3.01% on the total drawn volume of water, a performance lower than 3.5% compared to 2017. The company's efforts on water effective management continued in 2018 also. Continuous improvement plans are in application, in alumina & aluminium production processes, where a project is under way to reduce the consumption of industrial and drinking water 'Black Belt' anticipating positive results in the immediate future. Moreover, MYTILINEOS evaluation result, during the 3rd consecutive year of its participation in the global sustainable development initiative CDP-Water Security, ranked the company in the second best 'Management' level; this performance ranking is a peg lower compared to last year. This was an anticipated result, due to the upgrading of evaluation procedure qualitative criteria and of its enrichment with more and more demanding issues about water resources management. MYTILINEOS was one of the 1,268 companies worldwide that submitted adequate data for their evaluation, based on the new data, while, based on its performance, the company stands above the European and international average, compared to the companies operating in Metallurgy.
Rehabilitation & Biodiversity: MYTILINEOS has taken care so that its operation does not affect areas usually protected by the law and areas of high biodiversity value. Therefore, there are no significant effects likely to negatively affect the integrity of the geographical area or the region where the business units of its Activity Sectors are located, either directly or indirectly.
In particular: In the Metallurgy sector, the area of aluminium production plant does not fall under a category of area protected by law, while the mining activity carried out by DELPHI-DISTOMON company, a MYTILINEOS subsidiary, and regards mainly underground holdings in Fokida area, is performed showing respect to the area's biodiversity, by drawing up and elaborating Environmental Impact Studies and rehabilitation plans of the usable areas.
The environmental remediation is carried out through systematic tree planting of approximately 15-20.000 plants/year. To this day, DELPHI-DISTOMON has planted approximately 1,139,000 trees covering a total afforested surface outnumbering 1,800 acres. Moreover, a fencing of 73.1 km has been placed (to protect the tree planting) and a network of wateringirrigation pipes of 695 km long for those trees. It should be mentioned that over the last 6 years, on average, 150,000 tons of sterilized limestone are produced during the mining process. This quantity has already been discarded in already existing sinkholes of surface and underground sites; as a result, it is not necessary to commit not even a single square meter of surface for discarding this type of waste. In the end of 2018, the total surface used in the mining process covers 126 stremma (same as the respective one in 2017), the total surface of land in the remediation process stands at 221 acres (reduced by 8.3% compared to 2017) while the percentage of soil that has been restored since the beginning of the mining activity, in the entire usable surface, amounts to 81.13%, increased by 1.36% compared to 2017.
In the Electricity Sector and with regard to the activities pertaining to the construction of solar farms, located close or within the areas characterized as Special Protection Zones, the key prerequisite is to elaborate the corresponding studies (special ecological assessment , annual monitoring of a protected area) and the confirmation either of the existence of impact or, in case of impact, of the measures taking possibility to avoid such impact. Therefore, wherever the company operates, the impact is zero, as regards pollution (air-borne, solid or liquid waste), the movement of animals is not obstructed since there is no fencing and nuisance to birds is negligible (if needed, technical systems for birds protection are installed). With regard to environmental remediation, under the new solar farms, the company applies and systematically pushes the obligation of burnt land reforestation (lands to be reforested) and the restoration of illegal or inactive quarries, pursuant to the legislation in force and the guidelines of the respective forest inspectorates; within the next two years, a total surface outnumbering 570.000 m2 is expected to be reforested.
Environmental legislation: A key element in MYTILINEOS business activity is compliance with the environmental legislation; this is an issue of paramount importance, not falling short in significance of issues the company manages in the context of its ongoing and responsible development. This stance, constituting a key component of the company's overall environmental policy, is primarily based on the principle of adhering to the stipulations of the law, to the agreements and
commitments taken voluntarily through its Business Activity Sectors. To this end, respecting the applicable law, updating and applying the environmental rules pertaining to MYTILINEOS activity, in 2018, led to no incidents of environmental quality degradation and, by extension, to no administrative sanctions nor environmental fines. In addition, monitoring compliance with the approved environmental licenses of the company's business units' decisions on environmental terms approval is a process carried out internally, on a regular basis, in every Business Activity Sector, by specialized personnel and annually by a recognized, independent body taking over the environmental management system's control and certification. Based on the relevant audit results for 2018, no deviations were observed from the existing environmental licenses rendering necessary to plan investments to cover them; incidents of non-conformity with the environmental laws or regulations were not observed. (The list with decisions on environmental terms approval of the company is available at http://www.mytilineos.gr/Uploads/Adeies\Egkrishs\ Perivallontikon\_Oron.pdf).
Impacts: Employee Health and Safety is a fundamental factor for MYTILINEOS' business and a primary corporate objective. As a responsible business, MYTILINEOS recognises both its responsibility to continuously improve the health and safety conditions in its workplaces as well as the right of its own employees and of independent contractors' employees, carrying out work at its premises, to work without being exposed to risks that could cause injuries or occupational diseases.
MYTILINEOS also recognises that by eliminating accidents and incidents of occupational diseases, particularly in its own production facilities, it promotes constant, sustainable, productive employment and decent work, while it also contributes effectively to enhancing its competitiveness.
The company's Business Sectors, due to the nature of their operation, run Occupational Health and Safety risks (minor accidents, lost time accidents, occupational diseases and accidents) that can cause significant or less significant social impact, if suffered not just by the employees themselves and their families but also by third parties such as: employees of independent contractors, associates, trainee students and employees, but also any visitor in their premises. In addition, these issues can cause effects related to degrading satisfaction and morale among employees, increasing accident/absenteeism costs and negatively affecting the image and reputation of MYTILINEOS.
The impacts from MYTILINEOS's operation in the field of occupational Health & Safety encompass all areas of the industrial facilities, factories and underground mines owned by the company and its subsidiaries in Greece, the worksites of Integrated Projects Division in countries abroad, all office buildings as well as local communities, where the company operates and carries out its business. The company's Business Sectors are directly involved in these effects, while independent contractors, towards which the latter is responsible for general safety at the workplace, are indirectly involved. In order to improve its overall performance, the company focuses on encouraging its contractors, suppliers and
other associates to adopt practices that ensure decent working conditions, in order to secure their employees' health and safety.
Major risks and relevant risk control practices: The company has identified the following risk categories within the scope of its operation:
| Major Risks | Risk control practices |
|---|---|
Occupational Health and Safety is a line of responsibility that begins from the Management and Directorates General and stretches along all stages of production of every MYTILINEOS Business Sector. To address these risks, the company strictly implements security systems and safety measurements to assess their impact on the human body and to identify any need for interventions in all workplaces (offices and industrial facilities). At the same time, continuous progress and improvement highly depends on both preventive actions undertaken and broader experience that the company gains from any incident and near accident, while educating and training the personnel is crucial in order to maintain and further develop an accident prevention mentality.
The non-financial KPIs presented below have been defined in accordance with the GRI STANDARDS.
| Health & Safety Indicators | 2017 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of fatalities (direct employees) | 0 | 0 | |

MYTILINEOS' highest priority, daily, is the Health & Safety of its employees across the range of its business activities. The company continues to strive constantly towards achieving the only acceptable objective of "NO ACCIDENT AND NO OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE", one of the leading challenges in the industry.
In 2018, the company continued focusing on improving and showcasing safe work issues to its direct and indirect personnel. The specialized campaign on safety at the work place using the pioneering method of brain 'right hemisphere' activation in the Metallurgy Sector was pursued for 5th consecutive year. The training hours of independent contractors, particularly in the Integrated Projects & Infrastructure Sector, posted a fourfold increase compared to 2017, while the company was awarded two significant distinctions ("Gold" awards) in the context of the 'Health & Safety Awards – 2018' institution; this was a reward for the company's initiatives in promoting health and safety in the Metallurgy Sector. Notwithstanding, the systematic attempts made, and the procedures followed to prevent and minimize work accidents, across all company's activities, however, the year 2018 presented challenges for the relevant indicators resulting in transcendence of the annual targets. In particular:

Direct employees: No fatalities or incidents of occupational disease have occurred within 2018, while a total of five (5) accidents was reported (3 in the Metallurgy Sector and 2 in the Integrated Projects and Infrastructure Sector) due to employees' minor falls with lost time of ≥ 3 days. The events were analyzed with the Cause Tree Method (CTM), while remedy measures were taken to deter reoccurrence of similar situations. Moreover, through recording and
investigating the safety incidents (near misses or near accidents) that could lead, under certain circumstances, to accidents, 25 incidents have been reported, a number increased by 63% than that of 2017. Such findings are analyzed to improve the safe work procedures and to inform the employees. To this end, MYTILINEOS planned and implemented in all Sectors of its business activity more than 13,000 hours of training, in order to prevent and eliminate specific risks; almost 1,000 employees joined this training.
Indirect employees: The company's independent contractors' personnel have not been involved in any fatal accident in 2018, however, a total of nine (9) accidents has been reported, that caused lost time of ≥ 3 days. The main causes were fall from height, other minor falls and inappropriate use of equipment. Three (3) accidents occurred in the Metallurgy Sector and six (6) in the Integrated Projects and Infrastructure Sector. Moreover, 38 near misses were recorded, a figure by 61% lower than the respective one in 2017. In 2018, emphasis was placed on training contractors, by implementing more than 30,000 hours of health and safety training, 75% of which taking place in the Integrated Projects and Infrastructure Sector. This action involved informing or training more than 5,000 persons.
Impacts: MYTILINEOS opens to a new era of evolution with higher development outlook, seeking to achieve higher targets and performance.
As an employer, the company contributes to one of the broadly accepted social goals, i.e the improvement of living standards through full and safe employment and decent work. MYTILINEOS has fixed as priority the safety and protection of its employees' interests and rights, given that one of the success factors is the total devotion of its employees to their duties. In the context of Sustainable Development, the issue is of utmost importance since the relations between the Management and its employees contribute, inter alia, to the company's smooth operation. As a result, this facilitates the attainment of Global Sustainable Development Goals.
Employment is an internationally recognized goal related to economic and social progress. It is considered as an exceptionally important topic for the company's main Business Activity Sectors due to high localization and high number of employees. Creating opportunities for long term employment yields benefits not only for MYTILINEOS business activities but also for local communities contributing to their sustainability.
In addition, safeguarding decent working conditions (e.g. Working environment, wages and other forms of compensation, working time, rest periods, leaves of absence, disciplinary practices and redundancy practices, protection of motherhood, benefits and other welfare issues) is a top issue for the company aimed at its personnel satisfaction; at the same time, it is a key factor for employees' retention.
The company seeks to grow and improve its employees' competitiveness through appropriate occupational training and technical specialization. This is the way to support their optimal response to the current and future challenges of both professional and personal life. This is very important for all Business Activity Sectors due to the requirements in specialized personnel being necessary to run specific activities.
Through the employees' evaluation system, MYTILINEOS guarantees objectivity, transparency, meritocracy and the alignment of its practices with its vision, values and strategic objectives.
It also safeguards the protection of human rights, such as: Promoting equal opportunities and diversity, avoiding discrimination, forced & child work, protection of trade union right and the establishment of labor relations promoting mutual trust, cooperation, two-way communication and recognition boost individual improvement of employees both at personal and at professional level.
Based on the procedure of determining the company's material issues, Human Resources Management and Development and Human Rights Protection rank very high for all Social partners groups.
The boundaries from MYTILINEOS operation impact, in the field of labor practices and Human Rights, span across all areas of industrial facilities, factories and underground mines owned by the company and its subsidiaries in Greece, the work sites of Integrated Projects Sector in countries abroad and all office buildings. Directly involved in these effects are the company's Business Activity Sectors, while an indirect participation is reserved (particularly in Human rights protection) to contractors/suppliers located mainly in developing countries. For its responsible operation, the company focuses on committing its contractors, suppliers and other associates to adopting practices that ensure decent working conditions for their employees.
Major risks and relevant risk control practices: MYTILINEOS, in the framework of its Business Activity Sectors, recognizes the following risks:
The non-financial KPIs presented below have been defined in accordance with the GRI STANDARDS.
| Labour indicators | 2017 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|---|

The respective percentage of the total eligible employees is 82,3%. Eligible are employees who qualify for inclusion in the annual performance evaluation process. In particular, the term does not include employees who have been with the company less than 6months as well as special categories of workers concerning their role/object within the company. 3Percentages on the company's total executives' headcount.

Employment: MYTILINEOS seeks to ensure the prosperity of its employees, who constitute the most important factor of its development. In other words, employees are considered as 'embedded' in the company, in the sense of continuing improvement of their capabilities and of the outcome of their work, transcending a simple workremuneration connection with the company. All the above are confirmed by the data recorded in 2018, where more than 9 out of 10 full time employees in 2017 remained in the company in 2018 also, while the percentage of direct employment increased by 3.2%, creating 45 new jobs. Similarly, in all areas MYTILINEOS operates, the remuneration and welfare schemes of employees adhere at minimum to the provisions of the labor law and the collective agreements, where applicable. The remuneration of employees, beyond the legal compensation, are based on their individual performance which is assessed on annual basis. These elements, in combination with keeping low rates of fixed term employment (10.2%) and part-time employees (0.9%), reinforce the company's intention to establish longterm cooperation with its people.

Training: The activity of MYTILINEOS in different sectors, such as the processing of metals, the specialized construction works and the activity in the sector of energy gives rise to different training needs, while giving employees a wide range of knowledge, affording them the opportunity to develop management and problem resolution skills, as they are daily confronted with new local and international challenges. To this end, the company's training program, in which 68% of the directly employed personnel participated, was
completed in 2018 with the implementation of almost 44,000 man-hours of training, recording a small decline by 4.1% since 2017. Besides health and safety, intracompany training absorbed 32% of total hours, while more emphasis was placed on the improvement of administrative and technical skills.

Human rights: MYTILINEOS commitment to the 6 first Principles of the UN Global Compact and the company's Code of Professional Ethics promote the protection and respect of Human Rights, such as e.g. the promotion of equal opportunities and diversity, the avoidance of discrimination, forced & child labor, the protection of trade union right, ensuring that such incidents will not reoccur in the working environment. In 2018, in accordance with the violation reporting procedure of the Code of Ethics, no incidents of human rights violation were reported in the company's Business Activity Sectors. Moreover, labor rights constitute a vital topic for all employees. The company's direct employees by 66% are covered by the collective labor agreements, while associations of employees operate in the Business Activity Sectors of Metallurgy and of the Integrated Projects & Infrastructure. MYTILINEOS follows the international practices across all regions and countries where it operates, making sure that the decisions regarding recruitments, remuneration, promotions, occupational training, retirement and the termination of contracts, are based solely on impartial criteria and are not associated with any kind of discrimination. With the biggest part of the company's activity involving a heavy industry, the participation of women in employment and the promotion of new employees (proportionally and in accordance with the specifications of each activity sector) constitute the main issues of promoting equal opportunities at the work place. To this direction, in 2018, the percentage of women in direct employment posted an increase by 13%; while the percentage of young employees <30 years was reduced by 7.5%.
Impacts: MYTILINEOS acknowledges that phenomena of corruption, bribery, fraud and money laundering undermine the ethics in each business environment; one of the repercussions would be the breach of Human Rights, the adverse environmental effects, the distortion of competition and the raising of obstacles to the distribution of countries' wealth and economic growth. Such phenomena raise barriers to Sustainable Development, with a disproportional impact on poor communities eroding the social fabric. Combating corruption and bribery constitutes an essential issue for MYTILINEOS because it could a) contribute to risks' identification, better assessment and management and to legislative compliance; this last one is a non-negotiable principle for MYTILINEOS in every region or country it operates, b) attain the business goals (for example to meet the relevant requirements when submitting bids for taking over construction projects by the customer or financial institutions) and c) reinforce the company's protection from any phenomena of fraud, misappropriation and abuse, boosting further the corporate image.
Although no incidents of corruption or bribery have been confirmed, since the company's establishment to this day, nevertheless, the risk of occurrence of such an incident is acknowledged due to the company's transactions, both within its business activity sectors and beyond, with the main groups of social partners, such as: public authorities, business and regulatory bodies, customers, volunteers, NGOs, local communities, financial institutions and its supply chain.
Major risks and relevant risk control practices: MYTILINEOS may face the following major risks:
| Major Risks | Risk control practices |
|---|---|
| • While undertaking integrated energy projects in developing countries with high energy needs, where a high risk is involved, according to the annual research of the Transparency International Organization, in relation to the corruption perception index, MYTILINEOS may be asked to proceed to facilitation payments or other benefits to local partners in order to continue the unobstructed operation of projects. |
• MYTILINEOS has been formally committed to the 10th principle of UN Global Compact, whereby 'Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery and facilitation payments'. This principle acts as a catalyst in establishing a culture of ethics across the company. • MYTILINEOS develops systems and controls both to prevent and to detect any mishaps; the aim is to ensure proper selection of vendors, avoid doubtful payments, proceed to proper payments and enter them in the company's accounting books in a correct and transparent manner. |
| • In countries with a high risk of corruption, the company establishes a grievance mechanism accessed by each employee (direct or indirect), either non-anonymously or anonymously in order to denounce breaches related to personal data protection policies, bribery and corruption, human rights or the company's code of ethics. The company protects the complainants from eventual retaliation on condition that the complaint is filed in good faith even if it is not corroborated by the investigation result. |
|
| • Any deviation from the company's principles and moral practices jeopardizes the good reputation, the reliability, the confidence of social partners and, by extension, the |
• The setting up of MYTILINEOS Regulatory Compliance Division, in 2018, the renewal of policies against corruption and bribery to safeguard fair competition, to protect personal data and to screen business partners prior to the conclusion of |
company's economic results and its ability to take over projects.
agreements boosts the importance of business ethics mindset for the company across the range of its activities alongside the management's focus on transparent procedures and zero tolerance vis-à-vis breaches of rules and policies.
• MYTILINEOS Code of Ethics for Vendors & Associates aims at tackling conditions of Corruption and Bribery in the supply chain. Unannounced audits on vendors intend to secure the code's application and to offer recommendations for corrective measures likely to be required.
Management: Coping with corruption and bribery constitutes a key element in the Code of Professional Ethics and in the Code of Ethics for MYTILINEOS Vendors & Associates. For the company, the principle of integrity in tackling corruption and bribery constitutes the benchmark. This principle is linked to its standing commitment for zero tolerance vis-à-vis these issues and is put into effective use by avoiding any transaction and contact with any third party likely to have been involved or suspected to have participated in the creation of conditions for the manifestation of incidents of corruption, extortion or bribery.
The prevention policy against phenomena of corruption and bribery, adopted by the company, taking steps towards its full implementation, is characterized by the following three key stages:
The General Directorate of Legal and Regulatory Issues, where the Regulatory Compliance Division belongs to, has already undertaken to set up and apply mechanisms for ensuring the company's protection from conditions of corruption and bribery at preventive and audit level.
The non-financial KPIs presented below have been defined in accordance with the GRI STANDARDS.
| Anti-Corruption | 2017 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total incidents of corruption & bribery | 0 | 0 | |
| Political contributions (€) | 0 | 0 |
In 2018, MYTILINEOS applied all requisite internal processes to safeguard its policy. Through the audit mechanisms applied in the Purchases-Procurement Departments of the company's Activity Sectors, having examined both the selection of associates as well as any kind of transaction, no confirmed incidents of corruption occurred resulting in the removal or the disciplinary action against employees on grounds of corruption; no corruption-related incidents were confirmed driving to the termination or the non-renewal of cooperation with associates nor any public court cases related to corruption against the company or its employees.
Impacts: Social participation constitutes a preventive approach adopted by MYTILINEOS, mitigating the unpredictable non-financial risks and contributing to preserving its social license of operation along with its good reputation. This is an ongoing effort taking various forms, resulting in the company's commitment to understand and respond to local communities' concerns through open dialogue processes. Moreover, social participation aims at prevention and at problems resolution, via partnerships with local social bodies allowing the company to operate as a 'responsible corporate citizen'.
MYTILINEOS, aware of the modern socio-economic environment, wherever feasible, supports the work of Local Government offering its know-how and experience; at the same time through collective efforts, it builds on forms of cooperation yielding multiplying benefits, creating added value and contributing to long term strengthening of social cohesion.
All Business Activity Sectors of MYTILINEOS have a direct involvement in the foregoing effects, while the Local Government, as well as the Volunteer & Non-Governmental Organizations contribute indirectly in the framework of partnerships, implementing social actions, as foreseen in the company's social policy annual implementation plan.
The weakness on behalf of MYTILINEOS to promptly determine and manage the unique and often changing social, economic and cultural priorities determining the outlook of local communities, may reverse the existing assumption that the company constitutes an inseparable member thereof with common interests. This is likely to affect the preservation of the company's social operation license, restricting therefore its future growth.
Management: In the framework of its social policy, MYTILINEOS focuses on:
Building on its constructive relation with social bodies over the years, MYTILINEOS has reviewed its internal processes, fixing a new way of managing social demands, in order to reinforce transparency and qualitative improvement of its social actions. An open procedure has been established to this end, through the company's web page, where requests are submitted by social bodies, based on concrete specifications.
Specialized executives in every Business Activity Sector manage the company's relations with local communities and in cooperation with the central service of MYTILINEOS Corporate Social Responsibility implement the annual Consultation of Social Partners at local level, in order to take stock of local needs and examine new partnership opportunities.
The non-financial KPIs presented below have been defined in accordance with the GRI STANDARDS.

• Communication and dialogue with Social partners: MYTILINEOS applied the Open Social Dialogue with Social partners groups, with absolute consistency over the last 9 years. The company ranks amongst the pioneers in this sector in Greece, setting the conditions for carving out new perceptions and practices in its relationship with social groups, having as a springboard the specificities of its Business Activity Sectors. In this respect, MYTILINEOS, having streamlined its strategic priorities with Global Sustainable Development Goals, planned a series of actions to build a more responsible supply chain across all sectors of its business activity, beyond the lawful compliance, by 2025. The Consultation 2018 (4th consecutive thematic unit and 9th in total since 2010), inaugurated the beginning of implementation of those actions by the company's Metallurgy Sector; the title of this Consultation was the following: 'Developing a Responsible Supply Chain' with the participation of 50 key suppliers of all categories. The main targets of this open dialogue were the following: a) to inform suppliers on the latest developments regarding the company's growth and the overall purchase policy, b) to showcase the important role of the supply chain in Sustainable Development and c) to investigate ways of partnership for the attainment of mutual benefit goals. In conclusion, the Consultation highlighted the difficulties involved in sensitizing the supply chain in Sustainable Development issues, either due to the size of companies, or due to their limited exposure to external challenges and due to the lack of appropriate resources. However, an optimistic conclusion was reached since all suppliers agreed that their self-evaluation in social, environmental and labor issues constitutes more of an opportunity rather than a threat, because it will highlight the areas of their activity in need of improvement, will help improve quality of products and services and strengthen the openness and development of their competitiveness.
• Social Policy: In 2018, MYTILINEOS pursued the implementation of its social policy through a three-year Social Contribution Plan ''IN PRACTICE'' (2016-2019) raising its social expenditure by 20,2% compared to 2017, implementing actions in social sectors directly associated with the Global Sustainable Development Goals and the respective national priorities.
MYTILINEOS first and foremost supported the fire afflicted areas of Eastern Attica with infrastructure projects, tangibly showing its support to people affected by the ravaging fires in July 2018. The company was available to the competent authorities to offer any support to the Municipalities of Marathonas, Rafina and Pikermi, sending staple commodities and organizing emergency blood donation. Moreover, on the initiative by the company's President, the Board of Directors issued a relevant decision on 30/7/2018 regarding the allocation of €1.000.000 as assistance to affected individuals and for the prevention of future disasters. Following consultation with Municipal Authorities, residents' committees and Fire Brigade, the company decided to allocate this amount for the following actions:
• EUR 600,000 to improve the energy efficiency of the high school complex and the adjoining sheltered gym of the Municipal Community of Rafina - Pikermi Municipality within 2019, accommodating the schooling needs of 600 children and the sports activities of 1,000 children from the fire-affected areas of the Municipality and the neighboring municipalities.
• EUR 300,000 for the donation of 6 standalone fire trucks to the Fire Brigade Headquarters, within 2019 thus contributing effectively to its operational readiness.
• EUR 100,000 via a program implemented by the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV) to support 94 families in a state of emergency.
Aiming at safeguarding the sustainability of communities where the company operates and at improving the living conditions of residents, it invested more than 700.000€ to cover needs pertaining to local infrastructure and services with direct public benefit. The following are some indicative examples: The construction of the sheltered gym in Aspra Spitia, road construction projects, support to Livadia Municipality community service program etc. What is particularly valuable though is MYTILINEOS decision to support initiatives contributing to the development of sustainable cities and communities combining the preservation of cultural and natural heritage with local development. In particular, the company financed the implementation of the study 'Nature and Cultural Route of Central Greece', a program run by DIAZOMA Association; by promoting and developing natural and cultural monuments, the company aims to benefit the undertakings established in Mainland Greece as well as the producers of agro-food products, craftsmanship and industries as well as the producers of modern cultural products.
In addition, the added value that is highlighted by the company's business operation, with the elaboration of Renewable Energy Sources projects, through the Electricity Sector, is identified not only in the attainment of national environmental objectives but also in the significant benefits towards local communities. As a result, in 2018, the total investment in supporting infrastructure projects and services in Municipalities where new RES projects are running or are about to be elaborated exceeded 420.000€. Finally, more than 920,000€ were spent to support important events in the cultural life of the country promoting the dissemination and familiarization of Greek people with the cultural values; this amount was also intended to aid local sports associations and national federations in sports with dynamic growth.
The company considers that, although combating poverty presupposes the combination of many factors fixed by national definitions in effect, nevertheless, some basic practices involve the creation and preservation of jobs combined with the bridging of the gap between the skills offered by the labor market and the ones sought after. To this end, in 2018 MYTILINEOS created 45 new jobs, outnumbering in total the 700 jobs over the last 9 years; in addition, it preserved almost 1,300 indirect jobs across the entire range of its activities. In parallel, acknowledging its important role in developing and maintaining local communities' prosperity, the company pursued its local employment boosting policy with more than 8 out of 10 of its direct and indirect employees coming from local populations. Moreover, besides the long standing actions it implements for the economic support of families, foundations and social groceries, MYTILINEOS, in cooperation with the Social Enterprise 'knowl', implemented the program '#skills4engineers', a program of Professional Skills & Employability of high standards, for 25 young unemployed graduates from Technical Universities and Technological foundations, offering them the opportunity to enhance their professional profile and achieve their immediate labor market integration.
MYTILINEOS joined the 'NUTRITION' program of Prolepsis Institute in 2018 to contribute to mitigating children's food insecurity. This program supports primary and secondary education state schools' students coming from vulnerable areas across the country, helping to cope with feeding problems faced by students of many schools, while promoting at the same time correct nutritional options. Through the 'NUTRITION' program, the company ensured in total the distribution of 22,682 healthy meals offering daily a healthy and high standards meal to 212 students studying in 5 schools of vulnerable areas in Mainland Greece (Sterea) during the school year 2018-2019.

As regards health promotion and access by all to all basic care quality services, MYTILINEOS, in 2018 continued the important cooperation launched in the previous year, with the Charity ''Pediatric Trauma Care''. Through this collaboration, the company aims to contribute to creating and upgrading the Emergency Departments at State Hospitals and Health Centers and to inform parents and teachers on pediatric trauma. In the context of this cooperation, MYTILINEOS in 2018 undertook and finalized full upgrading of three (3) Emergency Departments: 1) the Pediatric Department of Livadia General Hospital, 2) Hydra Healthcare Center 3) the Pediatric Clinic of Ioannina General University Hospital, with the necessary medical equipment. Considering also the company's contribution to the respective Emergency Department of the General Hospital of Larissa, in the end of 2017, the specific healthcare infrastructure is set to serve currently more than 16,000 children annually. Similarly, the company's contribution to this sector was significant also at local communities' level. In particular, the company a) offered 7 new beds to the Artificial Kidney Unit at Livadia Hospital, b) supported the maintenance and the equipment of Distomo Healtcare Center, c) supported financially the work of volunteer health associations, such as the Cancer Society (Livadia branch), the Hellenic Care Society of Volos, the Association Floga etc, while d) a special action by MYTILINEOS is the long standing approach to the HIPPOLYSIS Center aimed at disseminating the effective equine therapy method to an increasing number of people.
MYTILINEOS acknowledges that qualitative education is a fundamental factor of sustainable development and of human life improvement. During 2018 also, the company continued implementing a set of initiatives of high social value in this sector. The following are some indicative examples:
1. The completion of the 3rd and last round of the pilot social program for combating School Dropout, 'I AM IN', in cooperation with the Association 'Together for the Child'. Upon completion of the program, MYTILINEOS identified and analyzed its social value based on the international methodology Social Return On Investment (SROI) that applies the significant CSR programs it implements, constituting a pioneering fact and an innovation in the industry. Based on this analysis, the total investment for 'I AM IN' program produced a social value of 768,193.18 €, with an SROI indicator equal to 4,75:1. This means that for each 1€ invested in the program, the social value produced was 4.75 €. In a nutshell, the program's most significant achievements over the period 2016-2018, when 56 B' & C' grade of lower secondary school students participated, were the following:
Contributing to the attainment of the Global Sustainable Development Goal 16 that focuses on the elimination of all forms of violence, abuse and exploitation of children, MYTILINEOS supported actively as 'Great Panhellenic Sponsor' the organization of 12 training seminars, entitled 'Protect your Child from the Electronic Crime' in 10 cities in the country. For the company, this initiative is part of high social value actions since 3,166 students, parents and teachers had the opportunity to be informed about the safe use of Internet, phenomena of our times, addiction, high risk behaviors, ways of coping with the digital world challenges and to get answers in more than 200 different questions regarding their daily life submitted by the retired Police Lieutenant General of the Hellenic Police and President of Cyber Security International Institute Mr. Manolis Sfakianakis, who was the action's main rapporteur.
The Company also supported the campaign 'ONE in FIVE' of the Council of Europe in Greece on the elimination of child sexual abuse. Aimed at informing and sensitizing the Greek society, in order to transmit the message of the campaign with greater intensity, MYTILINEOS undertook the reproduction of 20,000 DVD copies containing the information material of the initiative, with the approval of the Council of Europe and a positive opinion by the Institute of Educational Policy of the Education Ministry. The campaign visited more than 85 municipalities from 50 cities in the territory; it was hosted in 164 TV shows.
In the context of developing important partnerships for the attainment of the Global Sustainable Development Goals, MYTILINEOS participates in G.E.F.Y.R.A. program (Greek Enterprises For Youth Reinforcement Acceleration), seeking to create qualitative jobs for 'employment preparation'. In 2018, under this initiative, the company developed 6 new forms of cooperation with higher educational institutions, while it continued the application of a successful program of 12-month salaried in-service training 'ENGINEERS IN ACTION' that constitutes an important
option for young people who find themselves excluded from the labor market. In total, 81 new quality vacancies were created for occupational training, in-service training and apprenticeship, while 5 of these new posts were converted into new jobs in the METALLURGY sector.
The company's suppliers and associates play a decisive role in its effective operation, supplying a wide range of products and services from the mining activity and the production & maintenance of aluminium industry, the manufacturing and the purchase of equipment for EPC projects execution, until the operation and maintenance of Energy Centers, the development, construction and maintenance of Renewable Energy Sources. Given that the demand for products with a longer life-cycle and reduced environmental impact becomes increasingly higher, the company invests in seeking solutions that would satisfy its customer needs with the lowest possible environmental encumbrance. To this direction, the role of key associates and supplier is pivotal since they are an integral part of this effort. As a result of this policy, a wide range of specialized materials and products are produced/manufactured in Greece, serving the needs of all Business Activity Sectors.
Major risks and relevant risk control practices: MYTILINEOS acknowledges that its supply chain affects the attainment of its Sustainable Development objectives. In this respect, the Company faces the following risks:
| Major Risks | Risk control practices | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Any non-responsible practices (business, environmental and social) by suppliers and the company's associates, with a direct impact on the production process (products and projects undertaken) as well as on its broader operation and reputation. |
During suppliers' selection process in the Metallurgy Sector, meritocratic procedures are applied, on specific criteria regarding health and safety at work and environmental responsibility, besides the quality requirements, the compliance with technical specifications, issues of reliability, competitiveness and localization. Moreover, the company's Code of Conduct has gradually started becoming a key prerequisite since 2017 for the conclusion of a commercial cooperation with new suppliers and contractors. |
||
| In EPC Sector, in the countries where it operates, there is close cooperation with the competent Authorities for the regulatory framework implementation. As regards the management of environmental issues, the company notifies to subcontractors a project-specific Environmental Plan to be implemented; based on the work contract, they shall be bound to apply this plan |
in order to minimize the environmental impact. Similarly, the management of health & safety issues is governed by a series of actions that should be implemented for proper implementation of employees' Health & Safety system and appropriate measures' taking. In the contracts signed with contractors and suppliers, an explicit provision is mentioned about the Code of Ethics to safeguard the protection of human rights and to prevent conditions of corruption and bribery.
Management: MYTILINEOS has made a commitment it invests in and will continue to invest at local, national and international level; this is to develop and uphold efficient and fruitful relations with suppliers and associates. MYTILINEOS forges longstanding forms of cooperation with a number of suppliers, while others are being treated on a short-term basis, depending on the market competition. The object and the type of the required supply will determine the priority to be placed on local suppliers, based on their economic, qualitative and time-related solvency, the cost of products or their services and their ability to ensure the required quality and to cover the procurement needs, in line with predetermined specifications, set by the company's Business Activity Sectors.
Moreover, MYTILINEOS' Suppliers Code of conduct, includes the description of minimum requirements/expectations of the company from its supply chain, in Responsible Entrepreneurship related issues. The sections of this code cover Environmental and Social issues as well as issues of governance.
By 2025, a key company target is to include requirements of Sustainable Development in the selection process of the basic suppliers and the commitment on their behalf to good and responsible practices, a fact that will yield two-way benefits.
The non-financial KPI presented below have been defined in accordance with the GRI STANDARDS.
| Supply chain indicator | 2017 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of suppliers assessed for environmental and social impacts | 5 | 146 |
In 2018, MYTILINEOS carried out the 1st official self-assessment of its main suppliers, as they were defined by each Business Activity Sector, through a structured questionnaire. The aim of this initiative was dual: 1) to investigate whether the company's suppliers own a recognition and management procedure of the most important and existing and potential negative effects (environmental and social) stemming from their activity and 2) to take stock of these effects to allow the company assess them and plan any corrective actions, in the framework of its goal to develop a responsible supply chain.
A total percentage of 53% (146 basic suppliers) responded to this first attempt of bringing closer the company's suppliers with Sustainable Development issues. Based on the survey findings:
In conclusion, following the study on results and the practices declared by suppliers, the company designed specific improvement actions (b' cycle of self-assessment with non-responding suppliers, training conferences, sending incentivizing letters etc) which are still under approval in view of a stepwise implementation starting in 2019.

The election decision is submitted to the publication formalities referred to in art. 7b of Codified Law 2190/20 and is announced by the Board of Directors to the immediately following General Meeting session; the General Meeting may replace the elected members, even if no such item is included in the General Meeting agenda.
In case of resignation, death or forfeiture, in any other manner, of director status, the remaining directors (BoD members) may continue to run and represent the company even without substituting the members in question as per the preceding paragraph, provided their number exceeds one half of the number of members as it stood prior to the occurrence of the said events.

Evangelos Mytilineos
Chairman & Managing Director MYTILINEOS S.A.
This Statement of Corporate Governance forms a special section of the Annual Board of Directors Management Report and has been prepared in accordance with the relevant provisions of C.L. 2910/1920, as substituted, as of 01.01.2019, by articles 152 and 153 of Law 4548/2018, and concerns the following:
A significant part of the corporate restructuring involved the full review of the overall Corporate Governance framework, namely of Executive Governance and Board Governance.
Up to and including financial year 2018, MYTILINEOS S.A. (the "Company") has subscribed voluntarily to the "Hellenic Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies" (hereinafter the "Code"). The Code was drafted at the initiative of the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV) and was subsequently amended in the context of its review by the Hellenic Corporate Governance Council (HCG Council) in October 2013. The Code is posted on the website of Hellenic Exchanges: As of 01.01.2019, following a relevant resolution of the Company's Board of Directors, adopted on 15.11.2018 and aimed at ensuring transparency and responsible operation in all areas of activity, the Company will voluntarily adopt the UK Corporate Governance Code (THE UK CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE - 2018), https://www.mytilineos.gr/en-us/corporate-governance-code/presentation, which is posted on the Company's website. Based on the highest international standards of entrepreneurship, the Company strives for closer engagement with its investors, with the ultimate aim of unlocking further value for its shareholders. Drawing on the best corporate governance practices, the Company formulates its strategy and develops the general directions, policies, values and principles that govern its operation, while ensuring transparency and safeguarding the interests of its shareholders.
Deviation (Article 3.3): Concerns the non-appointment by the Board of an independent Vice-Chairman.
Explanation: The Board of Directors has elected a Non-Executive Vice Chairman A', as well as a Lead Independent Director who is charged with coordinating the Board's Executive and Non-Executive Members and ensuring effective communication between them. He also chairs the procedure concerning the evaluation of the Chairman by the Board Members, as well as the meetings of the Board's Non-Executive Members. Finally, he is available and attends the General Meetings of the Company's shareholders, in order to discuss matters pertaining to corporate governance, as and when the need arises.
Partial deviation (Article 1.5): Concerns the lack of procedures to allow Company personnel to voice their concerns, with due observance of confidentiality, about potential unlawful acts and irregularities in financial reporting or about other matters pertaining to the Company's operation. The Audit Committee should ensure the availability of procedures that will allow such matters to be investigated effectively and independently, as well as to be dealt with as appropriate.
Explanation: In countries with a high risk of corruption, the Company ensures that a Grievance Mechanism is put in place, to which all employees (direct or indirect) have access in order to submit, either in their name or anonymously, complaints of violations in connection with the policies on personal data protection, bribery and corruption, human rights or violations of the Company's Code of Conduct. The Company protects the complainants from retaliation, on condition that the complaint is made in good faith, even if the result of the investigation does not confirm the said complaint.
The Executive Μembers of the Board deal with the issues involved in the day-to-day Management of the Company and supervise the implementation of the Board's resolutions.

The Independent Non-Executive members are the members that have no business transaction or other commercial relation with the Company which could influence their independent judgement. In that sense, it is not possible to consider as an Independent member of the Board of Directors any person that: (a) has a business or other professional relation with the Company or with one of its associated companies within the meaning of article 42e par.5 of C.L. 2190/1920, as applicable in each case, which influences its business activity and especially when this person is an important supplier of goods or services or a key customer of the Company, (b) is Chairman or General Manager of the Company or is Chairman or General Manager or Executive member of the Board of Directors of one of its associated companies within the meaning of article 42e par. 5 of C.L. 2190/1920, as applicable in each case, or has a relation of dependent or paid employment with the Company or with one of its associated companies, (c) has a second degree kindred relationship with or is the spouse of an executive member of the Board of Directors or a senior executive or a shareholder holding the majority of the share capital of the Company or one of its associated companies within the meaning of article 42e par. 5 of C.L. 2190/1920, as applicable in each case, (d) has been appointed in accordance with article 18 par. 3 of C.L. 2190/1920. The Independent Non-Executive members of the Board may submit separate reports to the General Meeting.
The rules regarding the representation of the Company and the persons authorised to bind it are defined by special decisions of the Board of Directors.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors coordinates and directs the Board's meetings and overall functioning. He heads the Board of Directors and is responsible for convening meetings, determining the agenda and ensuring the proper organisation of the Board's activities and the efficient conduct of its meetings. The Chairman is also responsible for ensuring the provision of timely and accurate information to the Board members, as well as for effective communications with all shareholders, seeking to guarantee the fair and equitable treatment of the interests of all shareholders. In the event that the Chairman is absent or prevented from attending, he is replaced in all his responsibilities and powers by the Vice-Chairman A', who is in turn replaced, when absent or prevented from attending, by the Vice-Chairman B'.
The Board's Vice-Chairman A' replaces the Chairman of the Board in all of the latter's responsibilities and powers, in the event that the latter is absent or prevented from attending. The Vice-Chairman A' also chairs the procedure cornering the evaluation of the Board of Directors. Finally, he follows up on and ensures the smooth and effective collaboration and communication between the Board Committees and the Board of Directors.
The Lead Independent Director is charged with coordinating the Board's Executive and Non-Executive Members and ensuring effective communication between them. He also chairs the procedure concerning the evaluation of the Chairman by the Board Members, as well as the meetings of the Board's Non-Executive Members. Finally, he is available and attends the General Meetings of the Company's shareholders, in order to discuss matters pertaining to corporate governance, as and when the need arises.
The CEO follows up on and checks the implementation of the Company's strategic goals, monitors its dayto-day management and sets out the guidelines for the Company's Business Units and Central Functions. He supervises and ensures the smooth, orderly and effective operation of the Company in accordance with the strategic goals, the business plans and the action plan, as these are specified by the resolutions of the Board of Directors and of the General Meeting of the Company's Shareholders. The CEO sits on and reports to the Board of Directors and implements the Company's strategic choices and key decisions.
The Board of Directors appoints a Corporate Secretary. The Corporate Secretary is charged with minuting the meetings of the Board of Directors and of the Board Committees. The responsibilities of the Corporate Secretary include ensuring the efficient flow of information between the Board of Directors and the Board Committees, as well as between the Executive Management Team and the Board of Directors. The Corporate Secretary formulates the induction programme intended for Board members immediately after their election, and ensures that they are provided with ongoing information and training on Companyrelated matters. Finally, the Corporate Secretary ensures the efficient organisation of the shareholder's meetings and the good communication in general of the latter with the Board of Directors, with a view to ensuring the Board's compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Soon after the merger, the Company evaluated the structure of its Board of Directors, taking into account best corporate governance practices, and proposed a new Board which was elected by the Annual General Meeting of 07.06.2018. More specifically, in considering the Board's structure the Company set as a goal to maximise the independence and strengthen the capabilities of the Board as a body and the relevant practices applied, by attracting members that collectively could contribute the functional and industry competences required, so that the Company could tackle the challenges in its business development going forward.
In line with the above, the Company sought to achieve the optimum diversity of skills, views, competences, knowledge, qualifications and experience, including gender representation, in the composition of the Board.
Support and assistance was provided by Egon Zehnder, who advised on the process of identifying needs, candidate assessment and selection of directors.
The selection and assessment process that the Company adopted was as follows:
The process of need identification involved profiling the required skill set and projected needs, key competencies functional skill sets and industry backgrounds for the members of the Company's Board. Based on these, role specifications were prepared and the search strategy was defined.
The identification of potential candidates included individual early due diligence and background checks, in order to prepare a list of candidates who were then interviewed by the Company.
The core competencies used for assessing all individual candidates were the following:
In addition to the core competences, account was also taken of the following experiences, skills and qualities, so as to ensure that the Board as a whole would be credible and knowledgeable with sufficient business acumen, and able to properly evaluate corporate performance and support the Management, as well as to provide directions and guidance where and as required:
• Understanding of finance, strategy, technology, marketing, leadership and international know-
how
After reviewing the potential conflicts of interests of the nominees, the Company cane to the conclusion that no such conflicts existed.
The final list of nominees submitted unbundled to the General Meeting of the Shareholders for approval. Elected Board members serve a term of four years.
According to the Company's Articles of Association, the Board of Directors should be composed of no fewer than seven (7) and no more than fifteen (15) members.

The Board Members – with the exception of the executive ones, who engage exclusively in the Company's activities – are professionally active in their individual fields of specialisation, as also evidenced by their CVs which are given in the following.
Mr Mytilineos is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MYTILINEOS S.A., one of Greece's leading industrial groups. Born in Athens in 1954, Mr Mytilineos holds a BSc in economics from the University of Athens and an MSc in economics from the London School of Economics.
In 1978 he took over the family business, which was founded in 1908 and represented metal and steel product manufacturers.

Concerning the number of Board meetings, we note that pursuant to the Greek Law, the Articles of Association of the Company and the relevant resolutions of the General Meetings of the shareholders regarding the delegation of authorities within the Board of Directors, collective action by the Board is required for a number of matters, such as for providing a corporate guarantee in favour of any third party, including companies associated with the Company. Taking also into consideration the Company's extensive activities in Greece and abroad via its EPC, Metallurgy, Electric Power and Gas Trading Business Units, the Board of Directors must often act collectively, in the sense that there is a requirement for a relevant resolution which must be reflected in the minutes of the respective Board's meeting. However, it should be noted that no administrative or other costs incur for the Company as a result of these resolutions. The relevant minutes of the Board's resolutions are drafted and are signed by circulation by all members of the Board, without a prior meeting of the Board taking place, pursuant to art. 21, par. 5 of C.L. 2190/1920. More specifically, out of the total number of 58 minutes of the Board's meetings during 2018, 26 of them were drafted and were signed by all members of the Board without a prior meeting of the Board taking place, pursuant to art. 21, para. 5 of C.L. 2190/1920 (as stated at the end of each individual minutes).
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee which was established on 07.06.2018 is also responsible for the periodic evaluation of the size and composition of the Board of Directors, as well as for submitting proposals on the desired profile of the Board for the latter's consideration. This procedure is chaired by the Board's Non-Executive Vice-Chairman A'.
On 07.06.2018, a new Board of Directors was elected, consisting of eight (8) new members and only three (3) old ones, namely the Chairman and CEO, the Lead Independent Director and one non-executive independent member. Therefore, the Board in its new composition did not to proceed to evaluate itself, as the time remaining until the end of 2018 was not adequate.
Until today, the evaluation of the Board of Directors is mainly based on the latter's Management Report and is performed by the General Meeting of the Shareholders. Furthermore, the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board and of its Committees focuses on the examination and analysis of their work, as presented in the Management Report, against the Company's business targets as well as against the degree to which the Company's overall strategy was achieved and the progress made in this respect.
Immediately after the new Board members assumed their duties, an induction programme specifically developed for them was implemented: this included visits to the Company's production sites, informative meetings, presentations and discussions with key members of the Management, aimed at helping new members to understand the purpose and nature of the Company's business activities. The programme also relied on support provided by the Board's executive members, as well as by previous Board members, so as to ensure the fullest possible briefing and swift integration of the new Board members.
More specifically, during the second half of 2018, the Induction Programme consisted of extensive briefings by the Chairman & CEO on all activities and on matters of critical and material significance for the Company, as well as on individual matters covering strategy, operations and Management, as well as detailed presentations of the Company's Business Units by means of corresponding briefings by the General Manager Strategy, Mergers & Acquisitions, the Chief of Staff, the General Manager Electric Power and the Director Gas Trading. A visit was also organised and attended by all new Board members to the Company's aluminium plant in Aspra Spitia, Viotia, where they were given a guided tour of the plant by the General Manager of the Metallurgy Business Unit and had the opportunity to discuss with the local plant managers. The new Board members were also briefed by the Legal Department Manager and the Corporate Secretary on their obligations in accordance with the Code of Conduct, the Company's Internal Regulations of Operation, the stock exchange legislation, the policy on the protection of personal data, the Company's corporate governance framework and the overall policies and procedures which govern the operation of the Company.
Finally, individual meetings of the new Board members were also held with the Company's General Managers, as well as special meetings of the members of the Audit Committee and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee with the Directors responsible for Internal Audit, Compliance, Finance, and with the Chief of Staff, the Human Resources General Manager and the External Auditors of the Company.
The Board of Directors is assisted in its work by the following Committees, which, in order to ensure the best possible performance of their tasks, may retain the services of financial, legal and other specialist consultants.
The Audit Committee, in accordance with the Company's Internal Regulations of Operation and with the Committee's own Regulation Code, which was approved and put into effect by the Committee's Decision dated 3.11.2009 and subsequently amended by the Resolution of the Company's Board of Directors of 11.05.2017, following a relevant proposal submitted by the Committee, reports through its Chairman to the Board of Directors by means of drawing up and submitting regular or ad hoc reports and works closely with the Company's Internal Audit Department.

The members of the Committee and its Secretary are prohibited from undertaking activities external to the Company, which might hinder independent decisionmaking and give rise to conflicts of interest. Every member of the Committee is provided with appropriate information and training and is appropriately remunerated in relation to the time devoted to the Committee's work.
The Audit Committee meets at least four (4) times per year and its key responsibilities are to monitor the statutory audit of the Company's individual and consolidated financial statements, the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of the internal control systems, including the provision to the Internal Audit Department of general guidelines on the audit framework and the activities to be audited, to examine the activities of the Internal Audit Department, with a view to assessing its effectiveness, to receive regular updates on the progress of the activities of the Internal Audit Department and to confirm that significant problems and weaknesses identified, as well as the related recommendations, have been notified to and discussed in a timely manner with the Management, which has taken the necessary corrective actions. Additionally, the Audit Committee has the right, when it considers this to be necessary, to request from the
Internal Audit Department or from third parties any information it deems necessary in order to properly carry out its work.
The Audit Committee is today composed of two independent non-executive members of the Board of Directors and one member, who was elected by the General Meeting of the Company's shareholders o0n 07.06.2018 and, according to the statement made by the Company, meets the requirements of article 44 of Law 4449/2017 and the provisions on independence of Law 3016/ 2002.

The reliability of the Company's Financial Statements is ensured by the application of Internal Control and Risk Management Processes. The Company has put in place separate procedures for the monthly, interim and annual Financial Reports.
More specifically, every month the Management Information Systems Department of the Company receives from the Finance Business Partners financial data and information, which it proceeds to check and then use to prepare reports for submission to the Management of the Group. This information is produced in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards. Every month, the Management of the Group is updated on the changes to the consolidated key financial indicators by means of relevant management reports. This monthly monitoring approach, coupled with the checking of the consolidated financial statements and the
analyses performed on the latter are the key tools used in the quality and consistency control of the financial results.
With regard to the Interim and Annual consolidated Financial Statements, the Company employs an advanced software tool to consolidate the financial results and statements, as well as to generate reports for the Management as well as for investors and other interested parties. This software tool is automatically updated with data from the Group's accounting monitoring program and includes controls to ensure accurate transfer and accounting recognition of the input data. The Management Information Systems Department ensures the smooth operation of the software tool and checks the integrity and correctness of the consolidated Financial Statements and other reports, providing the Chief Finance Officer, the External Auditors and the Management of the Company with all necessary information.
The External Auditors examine the consolidated Interim and Annual Financial Reports and report to the Audit Committee on the progress and results of their audits for each reporting period. The Audit Committee is informed of the procedure and schedule for the preparation of the Financial Statements by the Group Chief Finance Officer and holds meetings with the Management / the responsible executives during the preparation of the financial reports. It obtains from the Chief Finance Officer the necessary information on the Group's performance and consolidated Financial Statements and reports to the Board of Directors accordingly. During these meetings, the Audit Committee is also informed about the management of financial risks and assesses the effectiveness of the risk management system. The Financial Statements (Individual and Consolidated) are approved by the Board of Directors, following a relevant report from the Audit Committee.
The Company has defined risk as a set of uncertain and unpredictable situations that may affect all its activities, its business operation and its financial performance, as well as the implementation of its strategy and the achievement of its goals.
In line with this approach, it has established a specific risk management approach in all its areas of activity where certain risks have been recognised. This approach consists of the following steps:
The Company has established specific and comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) processes. All senior executives are involved in the identification and initial assessment of risks, so as to facilitate the work of
the Executive Committees of each Business Unit, as well as of the Board of Directors of each legal person, in the planning and approval of specific actions in the context of the approved ERM processes.
With regard to Non-Financial Information, since 2010 the Company has introduced a specific Stakeholder engagement process for evaluating the materiality of the sustainability issues which are related to its activity sectors. This process, combined with the corresponding prioritisation of these issues by the Company's Business Units, is at the core of the accountability policy applied by the Company.
The process for determining the material sustainability issues is an ongoing exercise that is constantly developed and improved. The purpose of this process is to highlight the issues that reflect the Company's significant environmental and social impacts and influence substantially the decisions of its Stakeholders.
By identifying and understanding the material sustainability issues, the Company formulates and develops its uniform business strategy and its aims, targets and social and environmental initiatives.
Last but not least, the Company conducts regular internal audits to ensure the appropriate and effective implementation of the risk identification and assessment processes and of the management policies for such risks.
Moreover, the following are examined and analysed on a continuous basis:
Cases of conflict between the private interests of the members of the Board or executives of the Company and the latter's interests.
Relations and transactions of the Company with affiliated companies as well as relations of the Company with companies in whose share capital members of the Company's Board of Directors participate with a percentage of at least 10% or shareholders of the Company participate with a percentage of at least 10%.
In accordance with the company's Articles of Association, the terms of the Board members' remuneration are set by the Board and submitted to the Annual General Meeting of the shareholders for approval.
From the current Board members, only the CEO and one executive Board member have a salaried employment relation with the Company.
The Board members do not receive any other compensation or benefit. For the period from 01.01.2018 to 31.12.2018, no share options were granted and no share benefit plans were in force.
The Company has adopted a specific policy for the remuneration of the members of the Board, with the aim of enhancing its corporate values and its long-term interests. The remuneration policy conforms to the Company's business strategy, which ensures that the organisation's business objectives remain aligned with those of its stakeholders – such as its employees, its management and its shareholders.
The remuneration policy is based on the following principles:
The alignment of the Board members' remuneration policy with the strategy of each core business activity of Company is a continuous commitment. The procedures used in determining the remuneration amounts are clear, documented and transparent. The remuneration policy is designed by the Human Resources Central Support Function, with the support of the Finance Central Support Function and the Legal Service Department , and is submitted to the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. In addition to a fixed part, the structure of these remunerations may also include a variable part, ensuring that remunerations are linked to the short and long-term business profitability and efficiency.
With regard to the fixed remunerations of Board members, these must be competitive, in order to allow the Company to attract and retain individuals with the capabilities, skills, experiences and behaviours it requires. The aim is for the remuneration amounts to be commensurate with the time that the members devote to the Board meetings, to reflect the actual performance of the duties assigned to them and to be close to the market average established by the relevant salary surveys. Higher remunerations are foreseen for Board members with special roles of increased significance or in cases of outstanding experience and performance.
With regard to variable remunerations, these are linked to the performance of the Board member and of the Company in general. The achievement of the objectives at the aforementioned levels is a core element of the corporate culture of the Company. The level of the variable remunerations paid depends on the actual performance according to a number of quantitative criteria. These include the medium and long-term Company strategy, ensure the alignment of the objectives with the said strategy and secure the interests of the organisation and of its shareholders, and are related to the following indicative Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):
KPIs are defined annually on the basis of the Company's business plan and the level of the Board members' variable remunerations is calculated on the back of the evaluation process for those KPIs, always considering the general economic environment.
It is noted that the non-executive members of the Board receive fixed remunerations only.
The new Remuneration and Nomination Committee will propose the development of a remuneration policy in line with Law 4548/2018, to be completed during 2019.
The Company acknowledges the significance of promoting the principle of diversity in the composition of its governance bodies as well as in its executives and administrative personnel.
Managing and capitalising on diversity represents a major organisational business challenge for the Company, which the latter, as a modern-day business, will have to address in the next two years, following the completion of its corporate restructuring and in the framework of its responsible operation. In 2017, the Company paved the way in this direction by introducing a specific Diversity Policy with clearly defined vision and objectives.
1.1 MYTILINEOS S.A. (the "Company"), remaining engaged in its commitment to the implementation of best Corporate Governance practices and in compliance with the provisions of article 2 of Law 4403/2016, aims to apply the principle of Diversity (based, among other basic parameters, on gender, age, experience, skills and knowledge) to the composition of its Board of Directors, of its executive management team and of all direct employees in all its activities, where this is feasible. To this end, the Company hereby adopts the present Diversity Policy (hereinafter the "Policy").
5.1 The Policy is applied to the procedure for the selection of members of the Company's Board of Directors and is taken into account in the procedures for searching for and selecting senior executives as well as personnel at all other levels of the Company's hierarchy.
6.1 The Committee for the nomination of candidate Board members is charged with the revision of the present Policy. The Committee may examine any revisions which may be required and propose them to the Board of Directors for approval.

The information required in accordance with article 10 par. 1 of Directive 2004/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council is contained, as per the stipulations of article 4 par. 7 and par. 8 of Law 3556/2007, in the Explanatory Report, which is presented above.

To the Shareholders of "MYTILINEOS S.A."
We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of the company "MYTILINEOS HOLDINGS S.A." (the Company), which comprise the separate and consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2018, and the separate and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow for the year then ended, as well as a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) as of December 31, 2018, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation. Our responsibilities under those standards are described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements" section of our report. During our audit, we remained independent of the Company and the Group, in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) as transposed in Greek legislation and the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements in Greece. We have fulfilled our responsibilities in accordance with the provisions of the currently enacted law and the requirements of the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the separate and the consolidated financial statements of the current annual period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Group and Company's revenues arose from differentiated operating segments. Given the complexity of the volume of transactions, the use of IT systems as well as management's judgements and estimates, which include an uncertainty, revenue recognition has been considered as a key audit matter.
More specifically, Group revenues arose from electricity retailing are determined though IT systems and include judgments and computations in areas as unbilled revenue from customers. Moreover, Group's construction revenues are determined based on their percentage of completion, as the fraction of actual cost to total estimated cost until the completion of each construction.
Group and Company's disclosures for the accounting policy, judgements and estimates used for revenues are included in explanatory notes 2.1.1, 2.2 , 2.5, 2.20 and 3.1 of the financial statements.
Our audit approach included, among others, the following procedures:
As at December 31, 2018, the Group has recognized goodwill of €209 mil. (Company: €0), intangible assets of €235 mil. (Company: €87 mil.) and tangible assets of procedures:
Our audit approach included, among others, the following

€1.142 mil. (Company: €796 mil.). In addition, as at December 31, 2018 the Company holds investments in subsidiaries of €239 mil. and investments in associates of to €17 mil. (Group: €23 mil.).
Goodwill and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, while intangible assets with definite useful life, tangible assets and investments in subsidiaries and associates are tested for impairment whenever there are related indications.
Taking into consideration the significant amounts of the non-current assets mentioned above and the use of management's assumptions and estimates for the determination of the relative recoverable amounts, we consider this area as a key audit matter.
Impairment testing requires the determination of recoverable amounts based on the value in use of the assets. Value in use is derived from the discounted cash flow method, based on business plans which incorporate key management's assumptions and estimates.
Management's assumptions and estimates are mainly related to the future prices of LME, petroleum products, gas and electricity. They are also related to the estimation of future exchange rates and discount rates. Furthermore, macroeconomic environment's volatility, competition as well as regulatory developments could affect the operating performance of the Group's cash generating units.
As at December 31, 2018, no impairment loss has been recognized for the Group and the Company in relation to the above categories of non-current assets.
Group and Company's disclosures for the accounting policy, assumption and estimates used for the analysis of the above non-current assets are included in explanatory notes 2.2, 2.4, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 of the

As at December 31, 2018, the Group and the Company are engaged (as defendant or claimant) in numerous and complex litigation claims and arbitration procedures in the course of their operation.
The determination of provisions or disclosures of contingent liabilities and contingent assets which relate to litigation claims and arbitration procedures has been considered as a key audit matter as it includes significant management judgments based on legal advisors' estimations. The estimations relate both to the outcome of each claim and the potential economic impact for the Group and the Company.
Group and Company's disclosures relating to provisions and contingent liabilities are included in explanatory notes 2.2, 2.19, 3.17 and 3.37 of the financial statements.
Our audit approach included, among others, the following procedures:
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information is included in the Board of Directors' Report, as referred to the "Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements" section, in the Declaration of the Board of Directors Representatives but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the procedures performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein; we are required to communicate that matter. We have nothing to report in this respect.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the separate and consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as endorsed by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee (art. 44 of Law 4449/2017) of the Company is responsible for overseeing the Company's and the Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

significant doubt on the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
Taking into consideration that management is responsible for the preparation of the Board of Directors' Report which also includes the Corporate Governance Statement, according to the provisions of paragraph 5 of article 2 (part B) of L. 4336/2015, we note the following:

Taking into account that management is responsible for preparation of the separated financial statements, which include the separated per activity statement of financial position of the Company and the Group as at December 31, 2018 and the separated per activity income statement before tax of the Company and the Group for the period January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 in accordance with the provision of L.4001/2011 and the decision No.43/2014 of Regulatory Authority of Energy (RAE) we note that in our opinion the separated financial statements, as presented in the annex I of the notes of the financial statements of the Company and Group, have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of L.4001/2011 and the decision No.43/2014 of RAE.
Our audit opinion on the separate and the consolidated financial statements is consistent with the additional report to the Audit Committee referred to in article 11 of EU Regulation 537/2014.
We have not provided to the Company and its subsidiaries any prohibited non-audit services referred to in article 5 of EU Regulation No 537/2014.
The allowed services provided to the Company and the Group, in addition to the statutory audit, during the year ended December 31, 2018 have been disclosed in Note 3.20 to the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements.
We were appointed as statutory auditors for the first time by the General Assembly of shareholders of the Company on June 25, 2003. Our appointment has been, since then, uninterrupted renewed by the Annual General Assembly of shareholders of the Company for 15 consecutive years.

Mytilineos Holdings S.A. is today one of the biggest industrial Groups internationally. The Company, which was founded in 1990 as a metallurgical company of international trade and participations, is an evolution of an old metallurgical family business which began its activity in 1908. During the last decade the Company's has gradually expenses its operations from traditional sectors of international metal's trading to metallurgy in the domains of Integrated Projects and Infrastructure and Electricity and Natural Gas. The Group's objective is to develop synergies between three different operation segments by assigning the role of management and strategy to Mytilineos Holdings S.A.
During FY 2017, corporate restructuring was completed through absorption of the subsidiary companies ALUMINUM OF GREECE, METKA, Protergia and Protergia THERMOELECTRIC AGIOS NIKOLAOS by Mytilineos Holdings S.A. The only change arising following the Corporate Restructuring is conversion of the non-controlling shareholders of METKA into shareholders of the new entity.
Devoted to continuous growth and progress and aiming to be a leader in all its activities, the Group promotes through its long presence its vision to be a powerful and competitive European Group of "Heavy Industry".
The group's headquarters is located in Athens – Maroussi (8 Artemidos Str., P.C. 151 25) and its shares were listed in the Athens Stock Exchange in 1995.
The financial statements for the year ended 31.12.2018 (along with the respective comparative information for the previous year 2017), were approved by the Board of directors on 27.03.2019 and the approval of the Annual General Meeting of shareholders is pending.
During the last ten years the Group's activities have expanded from the traditional sector of international metal's trading to those of construction and energy. The group aims in the development of synergies between the three different areas of activities, by delegating the role of management and strategy formation in Mytilineos Holdings S.A. Following the decision of the Regular General Meeting of the Company's shareholders as of 01-06-2017, its corporate objective has been amended as follows:
a. Participation in other entities capital, b. Production and manufacture in Greece of alumina and aluminum and their marketing in any country, c. Industrial production of metal structures of various kinds, d. Design, construction, operation, maintenance, management and operation of power plants from every source; e. Production, marketing,
supply, transportation and distribution of electricity, f. Performance of all types of construction, repair and dissolution works regarding vessels and defense material in general, g. Production, extraction, acquisition, storage, gasification, transmission, distribution and transfer (including sale/supply) of natural gas, h. Conduct of studies, construction of public and private technical works of any kind, assembly and installation of manufactured constructions and products produced by the Company in Greece and abroad, i. Construction, operation and exploitation of plumbing, sewerage and other related facilities that will serve the purposes of the Company and/or third parties that cooperate with it; j. Production and sale of steam, water (demineralized, for extinguishing etc) k. Rendering various services to third parties cooperating with the Company, such as a) anti-pollution services, b) fire fighting, c) monitoring and recording of air quality, d) collection, transportation, disposal and management of solid and liquid wastes and storm sewage, l. Preparation of feasibility studies, production processes, operation of power stations and thermal production of all kinds, m. Acquisition, construction, sale and resale of real estate and all types of rental leases, installation, construction and exploitation of mines and quarries, factories and industrial departments, n. Rendering consultancy services in the domains of organization, administration and business management, risk management, IT systems, financial management, o. Rendering services in respect of market research, analyzing investment plans, performing studies and projects, commissioning, supervising and managing related projects, risk management and strategic planning, development and organization, and p. Performing all types of business transactions and undertaking all types of operations either directly or indirectly related to the above corporate objective.
The group monitors its performance on Metallurgy & Mining Sector through the subsidiaries "Aluminium S.A." (Alumina–Aluminium) and "Sometra S.A." (Zinc–Lead). Zinc – Lead Sector was the first which effected from the negative economic environment mainly due to the decrease on demand, the increasing prices of coke and the difficulty to find appropriate Raw Materials. All the above mentioned reasons lead the General Assembly of the company on 26.01.2009 to suspend temporary the production activity (note 3.27).
The Group through its subsidiary METKA is the leading and most specialized EPC Constructor in Greece and expanded in competitive markets abroad with value of pending construction contracts amounting to €984 mio.
With a portfolio of 1.2 GW of installed capacity from thermal plants operating since 2012 and over 1,000 MW RES in different stages of development , the Group is established as the as the country's largest independent energy producer.

The consolidated financial statements of MYTILINEOS S.A. as of December 31st 2018 covering the entire 2018 fiscal year, have been compiled based on the historic cost principle as amended by the readjustment of specific asset and liability items into market values, the going concern principle and are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and their interpretations that have been issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB.
According to the IFRS, the preparation of the Financial Statements requires estimations during the application of the Group's accounting principles. Important admissions are presented wherever it has been judged appropriate.
The reporting currency is Euro (currency of the country of the domicile of the parent Company) and all amounts are reported in thousands unless stated otherwise.
The accounting principles and calculations based upon under the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied for the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for FY ended as at 31 December 2017 and successively applied to all the presented periods, apart from the below mentioned amendments, adopted by the Group as at 01/01/2018. The Group proceeded with the first time adoption of IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments". The nature and the effect of all the amendments are analyzed in the following paragraphs.
The following new Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are adopted by the European Union, and their application is mandatory from or after 01/01/2018.
In May 2014, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 15. The Standard fully converges with the requirements for the recognition of revenue in both IFRS and US GAAP. The key principles on which the Standard is based are consistent with much of current practice. The new Standard will supersede IAS 11 "Construction Contracts", IAS 18 "Revenue" and several revenue related Interpretations.
As at January 1, 2018, the Group and the Company adopted IFRS 15, applying this Standard retrospectively, with the cumulative effect of the original application recognized on the date of initial application. Therefore, it recognized the cumulative effect of the transition to the account "Retained Earnings" while the comparative amounts were not restated. However, the Group and the Company did not have any impact on their profitability or financial position during the first application of IFRS 15, with the result that no adjustment was made to "Retained Earnings".
The Group's and Company's revenues come mainly from Construction Contracts (Construction Sector) and sale of goods and services (Metalworking and Power Sector).
The Group and the Company recognize income when (or as) they fulfill a performance commitment by transferring a promised asset or service (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer acquires audit of that asset. The customer acquires audit of an asset (good or service) when it can direct its use and receive virtually all the remaining benefits from it.
The amount of revenue recognized is the amount that is allocated to the performance commitment of the contract that has been settled. The performance commitment of the contract can be fulfilled either at a specific time or over time. For over time performance commitments, the Group and the Company recognize revenue over time by choosing the most appropriate method to measure progress in fulfilling every performance commitment. Appropriate methods of measuring progress include both output methods and input methods.
In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9. The package of improvements introduced by the final version of the Standard, includes a logical model for classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking "expected loss" impairment model and a substantially-reformed approach to hedge accounting.
IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" replaces IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" for annual periods beginning as at or after 01/01/2018. The Group and the Company have applied the new standard from 01/01/2018 retrospectively without reviewing comparative information from previous years. Therefore, the adjustments resulting from the new classification and the new impairment rules do not appear in the Statement of Financial Position as at 31/12/2017 but were recognized in the Statement of Financial Position as at 01/01/2018.
IFRS 9 eliminates the previous categories of IAS 39 for financial assets: held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. The adoption of IFRS 9 had no impact on the Group's accounting policies for financial liabilities. The effect of IFRS 9 on the classification and measurement of financial assets is presented below.
In accordance with IFRS 9, financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income. Classification is based on two criteria:
Financial assets (equity investments) that the Group had classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39 are now classified as other financial assets and measured at fair value through the statement of other comprehensive income. Changes in the equity valuation are included in items that will not be classified in the income statement in the future. IFRS 9 allows entities the irrevocable choice to measure an equity investment that is not held for trading at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include equity instruments that the Group has not irrevocably chosen to classify in the statement of comprehensive income upon initial recognition or transfer. This category also includes securities whose cash flows do not meet the SPPI criterion or the Group does not own them in the context of a business model for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows or collecting contractual cash flows and selling them. The profit or loss on financial assets at fair value through income is recognized in the income statement.
The adoption of IFRS 9 led to a change in the accounting treatment of impairment losses for financial assets as it replaced the treatment of IAS 39 for recognizing realized losses by recognizing the expected credit losses.
Conventional assets and receivables from customers: The Group applies the simplified approach of IFRS 9 for the calculation of expected credit losses, according to which the provision for impairment is always measured in an amount equal to the expected credit losses over the lifetime for customer receivables and contractual assets. To determine the expected credit losses in relation to customer receivables, the Group uses a credit loss projection table based on the historical data of the Group for credit losses, adjusted for future factors in relation to the debtors and the financial environment. In particular, to determine the expected credit losses in respect of contractual assets, account shall be taken of the estimated rate of early termination of contracts, the amount of the clauses in the case of early termination and the relative rate of collectability. The provision for impairment for the Group and the Company increased by € 17.2 million as at 01/01/2018. Increase in the projection resulted in the respective adjustment of "Retained Earnings".
At the date of the original application of the Standard, all existing hedging relationships of the Group can be classified as continuing and hence the application of the new standard has no impact on the financial statements. The Group's risk management policies are in line with the requirements of the new standard and hedge accounting continues to apply. Derivative financial instruments to the extent that they are not classified as effective hedging instruments are measured at fair value through the income statement.
The table below shows the adjustments made for each separate line item of the Statement of Financial Position due to the application of the requirements of IFRS 9. Any lines that were not affected by the changes introduced by the new standard are not included in the table.

In April 2016, the IASB published clarifications to IFRS 15. The amendments to IFRS 15 do not change the underlying principles of the Standard, but clarify how those principles should be applied. The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation in a contract, how to determine whether a company is a principal or an agent and how to determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a point in time or over time. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate financial statements.
In June 2016, the IASB published narrow scope amendment to IFRS 2. The objective of this amendment is to clarify how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. More specifically, the amendments provide requirements on the accounting for the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments, for share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligation, as well as, a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate financial statements.
In September 2016, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 4. The objective of the amendments is to address the temporary accounting consequences of the different effective dates of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and the forthcoming insurance contracts Standard. The amendments to existing requirements of IFRS 4 permit entities whose predominant activities are connected with insurance to defer the application of IFRS 9 until 2021 (the "temporary exemption") and also permit all issuers of insurance contracts to recognize in other comprehensive income, rather than profit or loss, the volatility that could arise when IFRS 9 is applied before the new insurance contracts Standard is issued (the "overlay approach"). The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate financial statements.
In December 2016, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs – 2014-2016 Cycle, a collection of amendments to IFRSs, in response to several issues addressed during the 2014-2016 cycle. The issues included in this cycle and are effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018 are the following: IFRS 1: Deletion of short-term exemptions for first-time adopters, IAS 28: Measuring an associate or joint venture at fair value. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate financial statements.
In December 2016, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IAS 40. The objective of the amendments is to reinforce the principle for transfers into, or out of, investment property in IAS 40, to specify that (a) a transfer into, or out of investment property should be made only when there has been a change in use of the property, and (b) such a change in use would involve the assessment of whether the property qualifies as an investment property. That change in use should be supported by evidence. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate financial statements.
In December 2016, the IASB issued a new Interpretation, IFRIC 22. IFRIC 22 provides requirements about which exchange rate to use in reporting foreign currency transactions (such as revenue transactions) when payment is made or received in advance. The new Interpretation has a non-significant effect on the consolidated and separate financial statements.
The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but their application has not started yet or they have not been adopted by the European Union.
In January 2016, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 16. The objective of the project was to develop a new Leases Standard that sets out the principles that both parties to a contract, i.e. the customer ('lessee') and the supplier ('lessor'), apply to provide relevant information about leases in a manner that faithfully represents those transactions. To meet this objective, a lessee is required to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease. The Standard was adopted by the European Union and is effective on 01/01/2019.
The Management has examined the expected effect of IFRS 16 application on 01/01/2019 as well as its estimated effect on the financial statements.
Under the transition, liabilities arising from the effective operating leases will be discounted through applying the relevant discount rate. The arising present value will be recognized as a lease liability. The rights to use the assets will be measured in the same way as the lease obligation, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued rentals.
The Group will apply the new standard using the cumulative effect method, under which comparative sizes for the previous year will not be restated. At the same time, explanations regarding the reasoning behind changes in the financial statements will be provided as a result of first time IFRS 16 application.
The final effect arising form IFRS 16 application will depend on the discount rate effective as at 01/01/2019, determination of the lease agreements, falling within the scope of the new Standard as at that date, the final evaluation of the lease term, in particular with respect to the exercise of any renewal and termination rights, and incorporation of new acquisitions into consolidation.
In general, based on the current estimates made by the Management, the effect of first time IFRS 16 application is expected to be as follows:
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 01/01/2019 is expected to record an increase in total assets due to capitalization of assets with rights to use and a corresponding increase in the lease liabilities fluctuating between € 58 million and 68 million.
In respect of the consolidated Income Statement for FY 2019, depreciations are expected to increase from € 6.7 million to € 7.7 million and the amounts recorded in the item "Interest and related expenses" are expected to increase from € 1.9 million to € 2.2 million. Decrease in rental expenses is expected to lead to an improvement in "Operating profits before financial and investing activities, depreciation and amortization" of approximately € 7,3 million.
In October 2017, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 9. Under the existing requirements of IFRS 9, an entity would have measured a financial asset with negative compensation at fair value through profit or loss as the "negative compensation" feature would have been viewed as introducing potential cash flows that were not solely payments of principal and interest. Under the amendments, companies are allowed to measure particular prepayable financial assets with so-called negative compensation at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income if a specified condition is met. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2019.
In June 2017, the IASB issued a new Interpretation, IFRIC 23. IAS 12 "Income Taxes" specifies how to account for current and deferred tax, but not how to reflect the effects of uncertainty. IFRIC 23 provides requirements that add to the requirements in IAS 12 by specifying how to reflect the effects of uncertainty in accounting for income taxes. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2019.
In October 2017, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IAS 28. The objective of the amendments is to clarify that companies account for long-term interests in an associate or joint venture – to which the equity method is not applied – using IFRS 9. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2019.
In December 2017, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs – 2015-2017 Cycle, a collection of amendments to IFRSs, in response to several issues addressed during the 2015-2017 cycle. The issues included in this cycle are the following: IFRS 3 - IFRS 11: Previously held interest in a joint operation, IAS 12: Income tax consequences of payments on financial instruments classified as equity, IAS 23: Borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In February 2018, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IAS 19, under which an entity is required to use updated assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after an amendment, curtailment or settlement to a plan. The objective of the amendments is to enhance the understanding of the financial statements and provide useful information to the users. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In March 2018, the IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework), the objective of which was to incorporate some important issues that were not covered, as well as update and clarify some guidance that was unclear or out of date. The revised Conceptual Framework includes a new chapter on measurement, which analyzes the concept on measurement, including factors to be considered when selecting a measurement basis, concepts on presentation and disclosure, and guidance on derecognition of assets and liabilities from financial statements. In addition, the revised Conceptual Framework includes improved definitions of an asset and a liability, guidance supporting these definitions, update of recognition criteria for assets and liabilities, as well as clarifications in important areas, such as the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In March 2018, the IASB issued Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework, following its revision. Some Standards include explicit references to previous versions of the Conceptual Framework. The objective of these amendments is to update those references so that they refer to the revised Conceptual Framework and to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In October 2018, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 3 to improve the definition of a business. The amendments will help companies determine whether an acquisition made is of a business or a group of assets. The amended definition emphasizes that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and others. In addition to amending the wording of the definition, the Board has provided supplementary guidance. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to its definition of material to make it easier for companies to make materiality judgements. The definition of material helps companies decide whether information should be included in their financial statements. The updated definition amends IAS 1 and IAS 8. The amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied by including in the definition guidance that until now has featured elsewhere in IFRS Standards. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In May 2017, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an interim Standard, IFRS 4. The aim of the project was to provide a single principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an insurer holds. A single principle-based standard would enhance comparability of financial reporting among entities, jurisdictions and capital markets. IFRS 17 sets out the requirements that an entity should apply in reporting information about insurance contracts it issues and reinsurance contracts it holds. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
Preparations of financial statements under IFRS requires the management to apply judgments, make estimates and use assumptions that affect publisized amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as at the financial statements preparation date and publicized amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting period. The actual results may differ from estimated.
Estimations are reassessed on an on-going basis and are based on both – past experience and other factors, such as expectations of future events deemed reasonable under the current conditions.
The applied accounting principles and judgments of the management, apart from those pertaining to estimates, that have the most significant effect on the amounts, recognized in the financial statements, mainly pertain to the following:
Allowances for doubtful receivables are based on historical date on recoverability of receivables and take into account the expected credit risk. The method, applied by Company, facilitates calculating the expected credit losses over the life of its receivables. The methods is used on past experience, but is adapted in order to reflect projections for the future financial condition of customers and economic environment. Balancing historical data and future financial conditions with the expected credit losses requires applying significant estimates. The amount of the allowance is recognized as an expense in other operating expenses in the income statement.
Adequate allowances are made for obsolete, useless and slow moving inventory. Impairment in net realizable value of inventory and other losses are recorded in the income statement for the period when incurred.
Estimating specific amounts, included or affecting financial statements and related disclosures required making assumptions in respect of values or circumstances that can not be known with certainty at the time of financial statements preparation. Significant accounting estimate is defined as an estimate significant to the company's financial position and results, which requires the most difficult, subjective or complex management judgments, often arising from the need to make estimates regarding the effect of assumptions that are uncertain. The Group assesses such assumptions on an on-going basis, taking into close consideration historical data and experience, discussions with experts, current trends and other methods considered appropriate, under the effective conditions, in line with the projections as to how the change in the future.
Significant accounting estimates and judgments of the Management applied under the preparation of the current financial statements are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements as of December 31st 2017. The following issues are to be noted following the above and in particular, regarding the financial statements as of 31/12/2018:
The Group tests goodwill for potential impairment on annual basis and whenever events or circumstances indicate that impairment may be effective (ex. a major adverse change in the corporate environment or a decision to sell or dispose of a reporting unit). Determining whether an impairment is effective requires valuation of the respective reporting unit, estimated applying a discounted cash flow method. When deemed available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples are applied in order to verify the results arising from discounted cash flows. When applying the particular method, the Management relies on a number of factors, including actual operating results, future business plans, economic projections and market data.
Should this analysis indicates the existence of goodwill impairment, its measurement requires estimating fair value of every identified tangible or intangible asset. In this case, cash flow approach is applied, as recorded above, by independent appraisers, whenever deemed appropriate.
Other identified intangible assets with defined useful lives, subject to amortization, are tested for impairment through comparing the carrying amount to the aggregation of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment on annual basis applying a fair value method such as discounted cash flows.
The Group tests goodwill for impairment annually, in accordance with the accounting principles recorded in Note 3.3. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations, which require the use of accounting estimates.
The accounting treatment of revenues and expenses of a construction contract depends on whether the final result of the contract can be estimated reliably (and is expected to generate profit or loss for the beneficiary). When the result of a construction contract can be estimated reliably then all the respective revenues and expenses related to the contract are recognized during the term of the contract. The Group uses the percentage of completion method to determine the appropriate amount of the respective revenue and expense to be recognized in every period. The percentage of completion is calculated as the contracted cost realized over the total budgeted cost of construction for each project. Therefore, significant management estimates are required with regard to the gross result regarding the completed construction (estimated cost of execution).
The Group and the Company are subject to income tax in numerous tax jurisdictions. Significant estimates are required while determining provisions for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group and the Company recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of the extent, to which additional taxes will be imposed. When the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the initially recorded amount, such differences will affect the income tax and provisions for deferred tax in the period when the aforementioned amounts have been determined.
The Group operates in the sectors of Metallurgy, Integrated Construction & Infrastructures, Electricity and Natural Gas Trading. The environmental impacts, potentially to be generated by the aforementioned activities, may cause rehabilitation costs. For the determination of environmental rehabilitation costs and the time they may occur , the Group performs the relevant analyzes and makes assessments using specialized technical and legal consultants. The Group makes a provision in its financial statements for the estimated environmental rehabilitation costs when these are considered probable.
In the ordinary course of its business operations, the Group gets involved in litigations and claim. The Management estimates that none of the resulting settlements would materially affect the financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2018. However, determining contingent liabilities relating to litigations and claims is a complex procedures, involving s judgments as to potential outcomes and interpretation of legislations and regulations.
The Company Mytilineos S.A. which resulted from the merger of its subsidiaries METKA, ALUMINUM OF GREECE, PROTERGIA and PROTERGIA THERMO AGIOS NIKOLAOS presents separately the result from discontinued operations as described below. In 2009, applying IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale & discontinued operations", the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary company SOMETRA S.A. were presented separately, regarding which a decision was made on January 26, 2009 on temporary suspension of the production activity of the Zinc-Lead production plant in Romania, and presents also the amounts recognized in the income statement separately from continuing operations. Given the global economic recession, there were no feasible scenarios for the alternative utilization of the aforementioned financial assets.
Consequently, since 2011, by applying par. 13 of IFRS 5 "Non-current assets Held for Sale" Zinc-Lead («SOMETRA S.A.») production ceases to be an asset held for sale and is considered as an asset to be abandoned. The assets of its operations
returned to continuing operations while at the same time, it continued to show separately the result of the discontinued operation in the income statement.
On 31/12/2015, SOMETRA S.A., contributed the Zinc-Lead activity, through a spin – off process, to its newly established subsidiary Reycom Recycling S.A. (REYCOM). The said spin - off is part of the "Mytilineos Group" restructuring process, regarding the Zinc-Lead discontinued operation, targeting on the production of Zn & Pb oxides through the development of a recycling operation of metallurgical residues.
Within the same frame, on 29/11/2016 the cross-border merger of the subsidiary REYCOM and the subsidiary company ALUMINUM OF GREECE (ATE) was completed.
(a) Subsidiaries: Subsidiaries are entities (including special purpose entities) in which the Group holds more than half of the voting rights or has the ability to direct the financial and operating principles followed.
The existence of potential voting rights that are exercisable at the time the financial statements are prepared, is taken into account in order to determine whether the parent exercises control over the subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are consolidated completely (full consolidation) using the purchase method from the date that control over them is acquired and cease to be consolidated from the date that control no longer exists.
The acquisition of a subsidiary by the Group is accounted for using the purchase method. The paragraph "2.8 Intangible Assets - Goodwill" presents the accounting treatment of goodwill. The acquisition cost of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets given as consideration, the shares issued and the liabilities undertaken on the date of the acquisition plus any costs directly associated with the transaction. The individual assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that are acquired during a business combination are valued during the acquisition at their fair values regardless of the participation percentage. The acquisition cost over and above the fair value of the individual assets acquired is booked as goodwill. If the total cost of the acquisition is lower than the fair value of the individual assets acquired, the difference is immediately transferred to the income statement.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized profits from transactions between Group companies are eliminated in consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated except if the transaction provides indication of impairment of the transferred asset. The accounting principles of the subsidiaries have been amended so as to be in conformity to the ones adopted by the Group.
Transactions with minorities: For the accounting of transactions with minority, the Group applies the accounting principle based on which such transactions are handled as transactions with third parties beyond the Group. The sales towards the minority create profit and losses for the Group, which are booked in the results. The purchases by the minority create goodwill, which is the difference between the price paid and the percentage of the book value of the equity of the subsidiary acquired.
(b) Associates: Associates are companies on which the Group can exercise significant influence but not "control" and which do not fulfill the conditions to be classified as subsidiaries or joint ventures. The assumptions used by the group imply that holding a percentage between 20% and 50% of a company's voting rights suggests significant influence on the company. . Investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently valued using the Equity method. At the end of each period, the cost of acquisition is increased by the Group's share in the associates' net assets change and is decreased by the dividends received from the associates.
Any goodwill arising from acquiring associates is contained in the cost of acquisition. Whether any impairment of this goodwill occurs, this impairment decreases the cost of acquisition by equal charge in the income statement of the period.
After the acquisition, the Group's share in the profits or losses of associates is recognized in the income statement, while the share of changes in reserves is recognized in Equity. The cumulated changes affect the book value of the investments in associated companies. When the Group's share in the losses of an associate is equal or larger than the carrying amount of the investment, including any other doubtful debts, the Group does not recognize any further losses, unless it has guaranteed for liabilities or made payments on behalf of the associate or those that emerge from ownership.
Unrealized profits from transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated according to the Group's percentage ownership in the associates. Unrealized losses are eliminated, except if the transaction provides indications of impairment of the transferred asset. The accounting principles of the associates have been adjusted to be in conformity to the ones adopted by the Group.
(c) Investments in joint ventures: Investments in joint ventures are classified according to IFRS 11" Joint Arrangements", or "Joint Operation", or "Joint Venture". The classification is based upon each participating parties' rights and obligations arising from the joint arrangement. The Group by assessing the nature and the special characteristics of the investments, classifies, as at 31/12/2017, an investment in joint venture recognized based on the equity method.
Investments in joint ventures according to the equity method are initially recognized at cost and are then adjusted to the Group's share of profits or losses and other comprehensive income of the joint ventures. When the Group's share of losses of a joint venture is equal to or exceeds its interest in that joint venture, the Group does not recognize any further losses unless it has entered into commitments or has made payments on behalf of the joint venture.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and joint ventures are eliminated by the Group's participation in the joint ventures. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless there is evidence of the transaction for impairment of the asset transferred.
MYTILINEOS Group consists of three main operating business segments: a) Metallurgy and Mining, b) EPC and Infrastructure and c) Electric power and gas trading. According to IFRS 8 - Operating Segments, the management monitors the operating result of each business segment individually for decision making regarding resources allocation and performance appraisal.
(a) Functional currency and presentation currency
The measurement of the items in the financial statements of the Group's companies is based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (operating currency). The consolidated financial statements are reported in euros, which is the operating currency and the reporting currency of the parent Company and all its subsidiaries.
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to the operating currency using the rates in effect at the date of the transactions.
Profits and losses from foreign exchange differences that result from the settlement of such transactions during the period and from the conversion of monetary items denominated in foreign currency using the rate in effect at the balance sheet date are posted to the results. Foreign exchange differences from non-monetary items that are valued at their fair value are considered as part of their fair value and are thus treated similarly to fair value differences.
The Group's foreign activities in foreign currency (which constitute an inseparable part of the parent's activities), are converted to the operating currency using the rates in effect at the date of the transaction, while the asset and liability items of foreign activities, including surplus value and fair value adjustments, that arise during the consolidation, are converted to euro using the exchange rates that are in effect as at the balance sheet date.
Operating results and equity of all Group's companies (excluding those opening in hyperinflationary economies), that their operating currency is not the same as Group's, are translated to Group's presentation currency as follows:
(i) Assets and liabilities are presented and translated according to the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
(ii) Sales and expenses of the Profit and Loss statement are translated according to the average exchange rate of the balance sheet period.
(iii) Foreign exchange differences arising from the above are registered at equity account "Translation Reserve".
Goodwill and fair value revaluation arising from subsidiary acquisition, operating abroad, are registered as assets/liabilities at subsidiary accounts and are converted according to fixing rate at each time.
Fixed assets are reported in the financial statements at acquisition cost or deemed cost, as determined based on fair values as at the transition dates, less accumulated depreciations and any impairment suffered by the assets. The acquisition cost includes all the directly attributable expenses for the acquisition of the assets.
Subsequent expenditure is added to the carrying value of the tangible fixed assets or is booked as a separate fixed asset only if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and their cost can be accurately and reliably measured. The repair and maintenance cost is booked in the results when such is realized.
Depreciation of tangible fixed assets (other than Land which are not depreciated) is calculated using the straight line method over their useful life, as follows:
| Buildings | 25-35 years |
|---|---|
| Mechanical equipment | 4-30 years |
| Vehicles | 4-10 years |
| Other equipment | 4-7 years |
The residual values and useful economic life of tangible fixed assets are subject to reassessment at each balance sheet date. When the book value of tangible fixed assets exceeds their recoverable amount, the difference (impairment) is immediately booked as an expense in the income statement.
Upon sale of the tangible fixed assets, any difference between the proceeds and the book value are booked as profit or loss to the results. Expenditure on repairs and maintenance is booked as an expense in the period they occur.
Self-constructed tangible fixed assets constitute an addition to the acquisition cost of tangible assets at a value that includes the direct cost of employee's salaries (including the relevant employer's contributions), the cost of materials used and other general costs.
The intangible assets include Goodwill, the rights of use of Property, plant and equipment, software licenses, licenses for the production, installation and operation of renewable energy assets and thermal energy assets, the environment rehabilitation expenditure.
Software Software licenses are valued in cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Costs that improve or prolong the performance of software programs beyond the original technical specifications or software conversion costs are included in the cost of acquiring intangible assets with a prerequisite that they can be measured reliably. Maintenance of software programs is recognized as an expense when the expense is incurred. Software licenses are valued in cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method during the assets' useful life that range from 1 to 3 years.
Production, Installation and Operation Licenses of Renewable Energy Assets and Thermal Energy Assets: The different types of licenses entitles the group either with the right to construct an energy asset or the right to produce and sell energy. Current market conditions provide adequate evidence about the recoverable amount of such licenses.
The Group, upon acquisition, recognized these permits as intangible assets at their fair value and then measured them using the cost model, according to which the asset is measured at cost (which is the acquisition cost of the asset value as described above) less depreciation and any impairment provision. Therefore the Group has recognized licenses as intangible assets at fair value less depreciation and less any provision for impairment. Depreciation is carried out using the straight-line method over the useful life of those items, which is 30 years for gas-fired power plants and 20 years for renewable electricity. The Group runs impairment tests on a yearly basis using the following methodology:
i) Attach possibility factors according to management estimation regarding the construction of assets under license.
ii) Runs Discounted Cash Flows (DCF) methodology using assumptions prevailing at the energy market. The period regarded by the management for provisions exceeds the five years encouraged by IAS 36 as, especially for the renewable energy assets, there is satisfactory visibility for a substantially longer period.
iii) The final recoverable amount is calculated for a total portfolio of either renewable or thermal energy assets by multiplying the overall possibility factor with the outcome of the DCF valuation.
iv) Finally, the Group compares the recoverable value calculated to be the value-in-use of the assets with their carrying amounts.
When the recoverable value is less than the carrying amount an equal impairment provision is charged to the income statement.
Legal rights to explore mines: The legal rights to explore mines concern rights that the group has acquired mining mineral reserves in several geographical areas. In cost of the mining rights, apart from nominal value of the rights, any cost that relates to the initial evaluation of the rehabilitation cost of the area where work has been done, the commitment of the Group either during the acquirement of the right or as a result of its use for a certain time period. The depreciation time period that is adopted by the Group does not exceed 10 years.
Right of Use of Tangible Assets:. Rights of exploitation of tangible assets that are granted in the frames of conventions of manufacture of work (compensative profits) are valued in cost of acquisition, which equals their fair value at the date of their concession, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the "production units method".
Research and Development Expenses: Research and Development expenditures are recognized as expenses when they are realized. The expenses which arise from the developing programs (related to the design and the test of new or improved products) are capitalized if it is possible to produced future economic benefit. The other development expenditures are booked as an expense in the results when they are realized. Previous years' development expenditures recognized as expenses, can not be capitalized in the future fiscal years. The capitalized development expenses are depreciated from the beginning of the product's economic life using the straight line method during the period of the product's future economic benefits. The Group's depreciation period doesn't exceed the 5 years.
Land Stripping & Restoration expenses: Land Stripping & Restoration expenses are capitalized and amortized using the unit of production method.
Goodwill on Acquisition: is the difference between the asset's acquisition cost and fair value and the net assets of the subsidiary / associate company as at the acquisition date. During the acquisition date, the company recognizes this surplus value, emerged from acquisition, as an asset and presents it in cost. This cost is equal to the amount by which the acquisition cost exceeds the company's share in the net assets of the acquired company.
After the initial recognition, the surplus value is valued at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The surplus value is not depreciated, but is reviewed on an annual basis for possible decrease in its value (impairment), if there are events that indicate such a loss according to IAS 36.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. A cash generated unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets generating cash inflows independently and represents the level used by the Group to organise and present each activities and results in its internal reporting. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units, to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount (typically the value in use) of the cash-generating units is less than their carrying amount an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 December.
In the case where acquisition cost is less than the company's stake in the acquired company's net assets, the former recalculates the acquisition cost and valuates the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired company. Any difference prevailing after the recalculation is recognized directly in the income statement as a profit.
Assets with an indefinite useful life are not depreciated and are subject to an impairment review annually and when some events suggest that the book value may not be recoverable any resulting difference is charged to the period's results. Assets
that are depreciated are subject to an impairment review when there is evidence that their value will not be recoverable. The recoverable value is the greater between the net sales value and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognized by the company when the book value of these assets (or cash generating unit- CGU) is greater than its recoverable amount.
Net sales value is the amount received from the sale of an asset at an arm's length transaction in which participating parties have full knowledge and participate voluntarily, after deducting any additional direct cost for the sale of the asset, while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows that are expected to flow into the company from the use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its estimated useful life.
A financial asset or financial liability is recognized in the statement of financial position of the Group when it arises or when the Group becomes part of the contractual terms of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are classified at initial recognition and are subsequently measured at amortized cost at fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss.
Initially, the Group measures financial assets at fair value. Trade receivables (which do not contain significant financial assets) are carried at transaction price.
If a financial asset is to be classified and measured at amortized cost or at fair value through comprehensive income, it shall generate cash exclusively pertaining to capital and interest repayments of the initial capital. The business model applied by the Group for the purposes of managing financial assets refers to the way in which it manages its financial capabilities in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will arise from collecting contractual cash flows, disposal of financial assets, or both. Acquisition or disposal of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a timeframe specified by a regulation or a contract is recognized as at the transaction date, i.e. as at the date when the Group makes a commitment to acquire or to dispose of the asset.
To facilitate subsequent measurement purposes, financial assets are classified into the following categories:
a) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated at initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for sale or repurchase in the near future. Derivatives, including embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading, unless they are defined as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows referring not only to capital and interest payments are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.
b) Financial assets at amortized cost
The Group measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met: (1) the financial asset is held in order maintain financial assets for the purposes of collecting contractual cash flows; and (2) the contractual terms of the financial asset generating cash flows at specified dates only pertain to capital and interest payments on the balance of the initial capital.
Financial assets which are measured at amortized cost, subsequently apply the Effective Interest Rate Method (EIR) and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired. c) Financial assets at fair value through total comprehensive income
Upon initial recognition, the Group may decide to irrevocably classify its investment participations as equity instruments designated at fair value through total comprehensive income when they meet the definition of equity and are not held for trading. Classification is determined per financial instrument. Profits and losses from these financial assets are never recycled to profits or losses. Equity instruments designated at fair value through total comprehensive income are not subject to impairment test. The Group has decided to classify its non-listed shares into this category.
A financial asset is derecognized when:
The Group recognizes provision for impairment for expected credit losses regarding all financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are based on the balance between all the payable contractual cash flows and all discounted cash flows that the Group expects to receive.
Regarding trade receivables, the Group applies simplified approach in order to calculate expected credit losses. Therefore, at every reporting date, provision for losses regarding a financial instrument is measured at an amount equal to the expected credit losses over its lifetime without monitoring changes in credit risk.
Fair value of financial assets traded on active markets (stock exchanges) is determined by the quoted prices effective as at the balance sheet date. Fair value of financial assets not traded on active markets is determined applying valuation techniques and assumptions based on market data at the end of the reporting period.
Inventories are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and net realizable value. The cost of finished and semi-unfinished products includes all the costs incurred to locate them at their current storage and processing point and consists of raw materials, labor, general industrial costs and packaging costs. The cost of inventories is determined by operating segment and by their nature, using acceptable measurement methods that are consistent with the financial statements preparation framework. The cost of inventories does not include financial expenses.
Net realizable value is the estimated sales price during the normal course of the company's business less any relevant sales expenses. Provision for slow moving or depreciated stocks is made when deemed necessary.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in the bank and in hand as well as short term highly liquid investments such as money market products and bank deposits and overdrafts, as well as other high liquidity investments that are directly convertible to specific amounts of cash that are subject to a non-significant risk of change in value.
For the purpose of preparing the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash available include cash and balances with banks as well as cash as stated above.
The Group classifies a long-term asset or a group of assets and liabilities as held for sale if their value is expected to be recovered principally through the disposal of the items and not through their use.
The key prerequisites for the classification of a long-term asset or a group of assets (assets and liabilities) as held for sale are the asset or the group available for direct sale in their current state and the completion of the sale depends only on from normal and formal conditions for sales of such items and the sale should be highly probable.
Immediately prior to the initial classification of the asset or group of assets and liabilities as held for sale, the asset (or all of the assets and liabilities included in the group) are measured using the IFRS applicable in each case.
Long-term assets (or groups of assets and liabilities) classified as held for sale are valued (after initial classification as above) at the lower of their value in the financial statements and their fair value less direct costs disposal, and the resulting impairment losses are recognized in the income statement. Potential increase in fair value in a subsequent measurement is recognized in the income statement but not in excess of the impairment loss initially recognized.
From the date when a long-term asset (or long-term assets included in a group of assets and liabilities) is classified as held for sale, no depreciation is accounted for on such long-term assets.
Expenses incurred for the issuance of shares reduce, after deducting the relevant income tax, the proceeds from the issue. Expenses related to the issuance of shares for the purchase of companies are included in the acquisition cost of the company acquired. Where any Group company purchases the Company's equity share capital (Treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs is deducted from equity attributable to the Company's equity holders until the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is included in equity attributable to the Company's equity holders. Treasury stock does not hold any voting rights.
The tax for the period comprises current income tax and deferred tax, i.e. the tax charges or tax credits that are associated with economic benefits accruing in the period but have been assessed by the tax authorities in different periods. Income tax is recognized in the income statement of the period, except for the tax relating to transactions that have been booked directly to Equity. In such case the related tax is, accordingly, booked directly to Equity.
Current income taxes include the short-term liabilities or receivables from the fiscal authorities that relate to taxes payable on the taxable income of the period and any additional income taxes from previous periods (tax audit differences).
Current taxes are measured according to the tax rates and tax laws prevailing during the financial years to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the year. All changes to the short-term tax assets or liabilities are recognized as part of the tax expense in the income statement.
Deferred income tax is determined according to the liability method which results from the temporary differences between the book value and the tax base of assets or liabilities. Deferred tax is not booked if it results from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, except for a business combination, which when it occurred did not affect neither the accounting nor the tax profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued based on the tax rates that are expected to be in effect during the period in which the asset or liability will be settled, taking into consideration the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been put into effect or are essentially in effect up until the balance sheet date. In the event where it is impossible to identify the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences, the tax rate in effect on the day after the balance sheet date is used.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that there will be a future tax profit to be set against the temporary difference that creates the deferred tax asset.
Deferred income tax is recognized for the temporary differences that result from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except for the case where the reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it is possible that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
Most changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as part of the tax expense in the income statement. Only changes in assets or liabilities that affect the temporary differences are recognized directly in the Equity of the Group, such as the revaluation of property value that results in the relevant change in deferred tax assets or liabilities being charged against the relevant Equity account.
Short-term employee benefits (except post-employment benefits) monetary and in kind are recognized as an expense when they accrued. Any unpaid amount is booked as a liability, while in the case where the amount paid exceeds the amount of services rendered, the company recognizes the excess amount as an asset (prepaid expense) only to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction of future payments or to reimbursement.
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group's liabilities for retirement benefits concern both defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. The accrued cost of defined contribution plans is recognized as an expense in the period in question. Retirement plans adopted by the Group are funded partly through payments to insurance companies or state social insurance funds.
According to the defined contributions scheme, the (legal or implied) obligation of the company is limited to the amount that it has been agreed that it will contribute to the entity (i.e. pension fund) that manages the contributions and provides the benefits. Thus the amount of benefits the employee will receive depends on the amount the company will pay (or even the employee) and from the paid investments of such contributions. The payable contribution from the company to a defined contribution scheme, is either recognized as a liability after the deduction of the paid contribution, or as an expense.
According to laws 2112/20 and 4093/2012 the Company pays to their personnel benefits for employment termination or retirement. The benefits are related to, employment years, remuneration amount and whether the employment was terminated or due to retirement. The maturity of the right to participate to these schemes, usually depends upon service years of the employee till retirement.
The liability that is reported in the balance sheet with respect to this scheme is the present value of the liability for the defined benefit less the fair value of the scheme's assets (if there are such) and the changes that arise from any actuarial profit or loss and the service cost. The commitment of the defined benefit is calculated annually by an independent actuary with the use of the projected unit credit method. For discounting 2016 the selected interest rate is related to the tendency of iBoxx AA Corporate Overall 10+ EUR indices, consistent to IAS19 guidelines and suitable for long term provisions that consists of bonds corresponding to the currency and the duration relative to employees' benefits.
A defined contribution scheme, defines based on several parameters such as age, service years, remuneration amount, certain obligations for defined benefits. The provisions relating to the period are included in personnel cost at company and Group P&L statements and consist of current and past employment cost, the pertinent financial cost, the actuarial gain or loss as well as any additional charges. Regarding not recognized actuarial gain or loss, amended IAS19R is adopted, that includes a series of amendments regarding accounting treatment of defined benefits scheme, amongst other:
The Group recognizes Government Grants that cumulatively satisfy the following criteria: a) There is reasonable certainty that the company has complied or will comply to the conditions of the grant and b) it is probable that the amount of the grant will be received. Government Grants are booked at fair value and are systematically recognized as revenues according to the principle of matching the grants with the corresponding costs that they are subsidizing.
Government Grants that relate to assets are included in long-term liabilities as deferred income and are recognized systematically and rationally as revenues over the useful life of the fixed asset.
Provisions are recognized when the Group has present obligations (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, their settlement through an outflow of resources is probable and the exact amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are reviewed during the date when each balance sheet is compiled so that they may reflect the present value of the outflow that is expected to be required for the settlement of the obligation. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed, except if the probability that there will be an outflow of resources that embody economic benefits is very small. Contingent claims are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed provided that the inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Income: Income includes the fair value of goods and services sold, net of Value Added Tax, discounts and returns. Intercompany revenue within the Group is eliminated completely. The recognition of revenue is done as follows:
The expenses that refer to the contract are recognized when occur.
Revenue from construction contracts is recognized based on the stage of completion of the project on the reporting date of the Statement of Financial Position.
The completion stage is measured based on the contractual cost that has been realized up to the balance sheet date compared to the total estimated construction cost of each project. When it is likely for the total contract cost to exceed the total income, then the expected loss is directly recognized in the period's results as an expense.
For the calculation of the cost realized until the end of the period, any expenses related to future activities regarding the contract are excluded and appear as a project under construction. The total cost that was realized and the profit/loss that was recognized for each contract is compared with the progressive invoices until the end of the period.
When the realized expenses plus the net profit (less the losses) that have been recognized, exceed the progressive invoices, the difference appears as a receivable from construction contract customers in the account "Customers and other receivables". When the progressive invoices exceed the realized expenses plus the net profit (less the losses) that have been recognized, the balance appears as a liability towards construction contract customers in the account "Suppliers and other liabilities".
In cases where initial estimates may change, revenue, costs and / or completion rates are revised. These revisions may lead to increases or decreases in estimated earnings or costs and are presented in the results of the period in which the reasons for the revision are disclosed by the Management.
- Sale of goods: Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of the Group's operations, net of discounts, VAT and other taxes related to sales. The Group recognizes in the income statement the sale of the goods at the moment when the benefits and risks associated with the ownership of those goods are transferred to the client.
- Provision of services: Income from the provision of services is accounted for in the period during which the services are rendered, based on the stage of completion of the service in relation to the total services to be rendered.
Revenue from electricity generation: Electricity sales are recognized on the date when the relevant risks are transferred to the buyer, namely, according to the monthly electricity production provided to the Greek network and confirmed by the Energy Exchange Group and DAPEEP (ex LAGIE) (Operators of the Electricity Market) and ADMIE (Independent Power Transmission Operator). Revenue also includes ancillary services received from ADMIE.
Revenue from cross-border trade: Revenues from the sale of electricity to the domestic and foreign markets are based on the monthly measurements of the System Operators, Energy Exchange Group (ex LAGIE) (Greece) and the managers of other countries, which are announced to the Group. These monthly measurements include the total of imported and exported quantities sold to domestic and foreign markets. For these quantities sold, the Group issues the corresponding invoices every month.
Revenue from retail electricity sales: Revenues from electricity sales in the retail market are recognized during the period in which electricity is provided to customers and is measured on a monthly basis, according to the ADMIE and HEDNO measurements for medium voltage customers and with estimates based on the historical consumption that HELLENIC ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION NETWORK OPERATOR S.A. (HEDNO) announces for low voltage customers. Based on these measurements provided by ADMIE and HEDNO projections containing unit consumption and in conjunction with the contractual terms, each customer receives a monthly bill per meter. For low-voltage customers, the bills are up to HEDNO to send the actual consumption of the period, and then a clearing account is issued.
Income Interest: Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis using the effective interest rate. When there is impairment of assets, their book value is reduced to their recoverable amount which is the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted using the initial real interest rate. Interest is then booked using the same interest rate calculated on the impaired (new book) value.
Dividends: Dividends are accounted for as revenue when the right to receive payment is established.
Expenses: Expenses are recognized in the results on an accrued basis. The payments made for operating leases are transferred to the results as an expense, during the time the lease is used. Interest expenses are recognized on an accrued basis.
Group company as Lessee: Leases of fixed assets with which all the risks and benefits related with ownership of an asset are transferred to the Group, regardless of whether the title of ownership of the asset is eventually transferred or not, are finance leases.
These leases are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is apportioned between the reduction of the liability and the finance charge so that a fixed interest rate on the remaining financial liability is achieved. The relevant liabilities from leases, net of financial expenses, are reported as liabilities. The part of the financial expense that relates to finance leases is recognized in the income statement during the term of the lease. Fixed assets acquired through finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life and the lease term.
Lease agreements where the lessor transfers the right of use of an asset for an agreed period of time, without transferring, however, the risks and rewards of ownership of the fixed asset are classified as operating leases. Payments made with respect to operating leases (net of any incentives offered by the lessor) are recognised in the income statement proportionately throughout the term of the lease.
Group Company as lessor: When fixed assets are leased through financial leasing, the present value of the lease is recognized as a receivable. The difference between the gross amount of the receivable and its present value is registered as a deferred financial income. The income from the lease is recognized in the period's results during the lease using the net investment method, which represents a constant periodic return.
Fixed assets that are leased through operating leases are included in the statements of financial position's tangible assets. They are depreciated during their expected useful life on a basis consistent with similar self-owned tangible assets. The income from the lease (net of possible incentives given to the lessees) is recognized using the constant method during the period of the lease.
The distribution of dividends to the shareholders of the parent company is recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements at the date on which the distribution is approved by the General Meeting of the shareholders.
Pro forma figures (EBITDA, EBITDA margin, free cash flow, net debt) are not governed by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Thus, these figures are calculated and presented by the Group in a way that provides a more fair view of the financial performance of its Business Sectors. The Group defines "Group EBITDA" as the Operating Earnings before any interest income and expenses, investment results, depreciation, amortization and before the effects of any special factors. "Group EBITDA" is an important indicator used by Mytilineos Group to manage the Group's operating activities and to measure the performance of the individual segments.
The special factors that affect the Group's net profit / (losses) and EBITDA are the following: a)The Group's share in the EBITDA of associates when these are active in one of its reported Business Segments.
b)The Group's share on the profit from the construction of fixed assets on account of subsidiaries and associates when these are active in one of its reported Business Segments.
It is noted that the Group financial statements, prepared according to IAS 1 and IAS 28, include:
The Group's profit realized in connection with the construction of fixed assets on account of subsidiaries and associates, when these are active in one of its reported Business Segments. Such profits are deducted from the Group's equity and fixed assets and released in the Group accounts over the same period as depreciation is charged. Consequently, for the calculation of EBITDA (operational results before depreciation), the Group does not eliminate the profit from the construction of fixed assets as its recovery through their use will effect only the profit after depreciation.
The Group states that the calculation of "Group EBITDA" may differ from the calculation method used by other companies/groups. However, "Group EBITDA" is calculated with consistency in each financial reporting period and any other financial analysis presented by the Group. Specifically financial results contain interest income/expense, while investment results contain gains/loss of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, share of results in associates companies and gains/losses from the disposal of financial assets (such as subsidiaries and associates).
CO2 emissions are recognized according to the net liability approach through which, the Group recognizes liabilities from CO2 emissions when the actual emissions exceed the distributed emission rights from E.U. The liability is measured at fair value to the extent that the Group has the obligation of covering the deficit through the market. Emission rights acquired over the required quantities for covering the deficit are recognized as intangible assets at cost.
The Group uses Derivative financial instruments such as Commodity Futures and Currency Forwards in order to mitigate the risk related to its business activities along with the risk related to the funding of such activities.
At inception of the hedging transaction, the Group validates the hedging relationship between the underlying and the hedging instrument as far as its risk management strategy is concerned. The Group also verifies the hedging efficiency from the beginning of the hedging relationship and on a continuing basis.
All derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value as at the date of settlement and are valued on a mark to - market basis on each balance sheet date. The result of this valuation is recognized as an asset when positive and as a liability when negative.
When a derivative financial instrument is no longer regarded as hedging instrument any difference in its fair value is recognized in profit and loss.
Fair value hedging is regarded when hedging the exposure in the fluctuations of the fair value of a recognized asset, liability, contingent liability or part of them that could have a negative impact on results.
When hedging accounting, concerning fair value hedge, is followed then any profit or loss from revaluation is recognized in profit and loss. For non-derivative hedging instruments used to hedge foreign currency risk, only the foreign currency item in its book value will be recognized in profit or loss - the entire instrument needs to be re-measured. The gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk should be recognized directly in the income statement to offset the change in the carrying amount of the hedging instrument. This applies to items recognized at cost and available-for-sale financial assets. Any compensation ineffectiveness is recognized directly in the income statement.
The Group enters into Cash Flow Hedging transactions in order to cover the risks that cause fluctuations in its cash flows and arise either from an asset or a liability or a forecasted transaction and the change will affect the results. Examples of Group cash flow hedges include future foreign currency transactions subject to exchange rate changes as well as future sales of aluminum subject to changes in selling prices. Changes in the carrying amount of the effective part of the hedging instrument
are recognized in Equity as "Reserve" while the ineffective portion is recognized in the Income Statement. The amounts accrued in equity are transferred to the income statement in the periods in which the hedged items are recognized in the income statement as in a prospective sale. When a hedging instrument has expired, sold, settled or does not qualify for hedging accounting all accumulated profit or loss recognized in Equity, stays in Equity until the final settlement of the underlying. If the underlying is not expected to be settled then any profit or loss recognized in Equity is transferred to profit and loss account.
Hedging of a foreign investment is regarded for accounting purposes in a way similar to cash flow hedging.
The effective part of the hedging result is recognized directly in Equity while any ineffective part is recognized in profit and loss. Accumulated profit or loss recognized in Equity is transferred in profit and loss account at the time of disposal of the investment.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent with the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each accounting period, excluding the average of ordinary shares acquired as treasury shares.
The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the accounting period and for all the periods presented is adjusted for events that have altered the number of ordinary shares in circulation without a corresponding change in resources.
MYTILINEOS Group is active in three main operating business segments: Metallurgy and Mining, EPC & Infrastructure and Power & Gas. In identifying its operating segments, management generally follows the Group's service lines, which represent the main products and services provided by the Group. Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each of these service lines requires different technologies and other resources as well as marketing approaches. The Group's activities, which do not meet the criteria and the quantitative thresholds of IFRS 8, in order to form a reportable operating segment, are aggregated and reported under the category "Others".
The Group has applied IFRS 5 "Non Current Assets Available for Sale & Discontinued Operations" and present separately the results of the discontinued operations of the subsidiary company SOMETRA S.A.

The Group performs annually impairment tests for goodwill.
The recoverable amount of the recognized goodwill, related with the separate CGU's, was assessed using value in use and calculated using the DCF method. The "value in use" was determined based on management's assumptions, which management deems reasonable and are based on estimates from international rating agencies on Financial Statement's issue date. No need for impairment arose from impairment tests.
The recoverable amount of each CGU is determined according to the calculation of the value in use. The calculations for the CGU's recoverable amount were based on the present value of the expected future cash flows. The basic estimates the Group uses to determine the value in use divide in:
o Capacity rate and total demand of energy system for the energy sector
The WACC method reflects the discount rate of future cash flows for each CGU, according to which the cost of equity and the cost of long-term debt and any grants are weighted, in order to calculate the cost of capital of the company. Since all cash flows of the business plans are denominated in euro, the yield of ten-year German government bond was used as the risk-free rate. Assumptions of independent sources were taken into account for the calculation of the risk premium.
Betas are evaluated annually based on published market data. The Company's WACC was estimated at 8.83%.
Apart from the above considerations concerning the determination of the value in use of CGUs, no other changes that may affect the rest of the assumptions have come to the Management's attention.
The Group analyzed the sensitivity of the recoverable amounts per CGU through change in a percentage point of 0.5% in the discount rate. From the relevant analysis there is no amount of impairment.

All derivatives open positions have been marked to market. Fair values of the "interest rate swaps", are confirmed by the financial institutions that the Group has as counterparties.
The Group manages the exposure to currency risk through the use of currency forwards and options and thus by "locking" at exchange rates that provide sufficient cash flows and profit margins. Furthermore, the Group manages the exposure to commodity risk through the use of: a) commodity futures that hedge the risk from the change at fair value of commodities and b) commodity swaps that hedge fluctuations in cash flows from the volatility in aluminum prices.

On 29.08.2017, MYTILINEOS announced its justification to the International Arbitral Tribunal against Serbia. Following an international arbitration process lasting several years, the International Arbitral Tribunal to which MYTILINEOS had recourse against the Serbian company RTB Bor requesting compensation, vindicated the Greek company. The award amount of 24.6 € mio has been included in other operating incomes.
Operating expenses from services were charged due to the case of "BOTAS PETROLEUM PIPELINE CORPORATION" (see note 3.37.2).
In the other operating expenses and specifically in compensations, the Company had recognized the amount of € 17.4 million in the year 2017 for the state aid case against MYTILINEOS (see detail note 3.37.2).

During 2018, the Group paid dividends of € 46 mio to its equity shareholders.
Also during 2018, the directors proposed the payment of a dividend of € 0.3600 per share). As the distribution of dividends requires approval at the shareholders' meeting, no liability in this respect is recognised in the 2018 consolidated financial statements. No income tax consequences are expected to arise as a result of this transaction at the level of Illustrative Corporation.

The Group, since 2009, applies IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale & discontinued operations", and presents separately the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary company SOMETRA S.A., following the suspension of the production activity of the Zinc-Lead production plant in Romania, and presents also the amounts recognized in the income statement separately from continuing operations. Given the global economic recession, there were no feasible scenarios for the alternative utilization of the aforementioned financial assets.
Consequently, from 2011 and on, by applying par. 13 of IFRS 5 "Non-current assets Held for Sale", the Zinc-Lead production ceases to be an asset held for sale and is considered as an asset to be abandoned. The assets of the disposal group to be abandoned are presented within the continuing operations while the results as discontinued operations.
In December 2015, SOMETRA S.A., contributed the Zinc-Lead activity, through a spin – off process, to its newly established subsidiary Reycom Recycling S.A. (REYCOM). The said spin - off is part of the "Mytilineos Group" restructuring process, regarding the Zinc-Lead discontinued operation, targeting on the production of Zn & Pb oxides through the development of a recycling operation of metallurgical residues.

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk, cash flow risk and fair value interest-rate risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of commodity and financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge the exposure to certain financial risks.
Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group Treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group Treasury operates as a cost and service centre and provides services to all business units within the Group, co-ordinates access to both domestic and international financial markets and manages the financial risks relating to the Group's operations. This includes identifying, evaluating and if necessary, hedging financial risks in close co-operation with the various business units within the Group.
The Group is activated in a global level and consequently is exposed to foreign exchange risk emanating mainly from the US dollar. This kind of risk mainly results from commercial transactions in foreign currency as well as net investments in foreign entities. For managing this type of risk, the Group Treasury Department enters into derivative or non derivative financial instruments with financial institutions on behalf and in the name of group companies. In Group level these financial instruments are characterized as exchange rate risk hedges for certain assets, liabilities or foreseen commercial transactions.
The Group's earnings are exposed to movements in the prices of the commodities it produces, which are determined by the international markets and the global demand and supply.
The Group is price risk from fluctuations in the prices of variables that determine either the sales and/or the cost of sales of the group entities (i.e. products' prices (LME), raw materials, other cost elements etc.). The Group's activities expose it to the fluctuations of the prices of Aluminium (AL), Zinc (Zn), Lead (Pb) as well as to Fuel Oil as a production cost.
Commodity price risk can be reduced through the negotiation of long term contracts or through the use of financial derivatives.
Group's interest bearing assets comprises only of cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, the Group maintains its total bank debt in products of floating interest rate. In respect of its exposure to floating interest payments, the Group evaluates the respective risks and where deemed necessary considers the use of appropriate interest rate derivatives. The policy of the Group is to minimize interest rate cash flow risk exposures on long-term financing.

The Group's exposure in price risk and therefore sensitivity may vary according to the transaction volume and the price level. However, the above sensitivity analysis is representative for the Group exposure in 2018 and 2017.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk with any single counter party. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale customers.
Concerning trade accounts receivables, the Group is not exposed to significant credit risks as they mainly consist of a large, widespread customer base. However, the atypical conditions that dominate the Greek market and several other markets in Europe are forcing the Group to constantly monitor its business claims and also to adopt policies and practices to ensure that such claims are collected. By way of example, such policies and practices include insuring credits where possible; pre-collection of the value of product sold to a considerable degree; safeguarding claims by collateral loans on customer reserves; and receiving letters of guarantee.
To minimize credit risk on cash reserves and cash equivalents; in financial derivate contracts; as well as other short term financial products, the Group specifies certain limits to its exposure on each individual financial institution and only engages in transactions with creditworthy financial institutions of high credit rating.

Liquidity risk is related with the Group's need for the sufficient financing of its operations and development. The relevant liquidity requirements are the subject of management through the meticulous monitoring of debts of long term financial liabilities and also of payments made on a daily basis.
The Group ensures that there is sufficient available credit facilities to be able to cover its short-term business needs, after the calculation of cash flows arising from the operation as well as cash and cash equivalents which are held. The funds for long-term liquidity needs ensured by a sufficient amount of loanable funds and the ability to sell long-term financial assets.

The Group is constantly and vigorously monitoring capital controls, stemming from the Legislative Act (L.A.) of June 28th 2015 and any subsequent ones, taking every necessary measure to safeguard its going concern. Through the strength of its international profile and export orientation, the Group copes with existing difficulties, supports the liquidity of the Greek system and achieves a smooth and normal operation for all its sectors of activity.
The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the significance of inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement.
The Group's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy for 31/12/2018 and 31/12/2017 as follows:

On 17.12.2014, Independent Power Transmission Operator S.A. (IPTO or ADMIE) sent briefing notes to MYTILINEOS (henceforth the "Company") as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME due to merger, requesting the issuance of a credit invoice for the amount of €17.4m relating to the Excise Tax (ET) on Gas consumed at the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plant for the period of 28/11/2012 until 31/10/2013 (henceforth the "Reference Period"). Said ET was invoiced to ADMIE during the aforementioned period, pursuant to its related debit notes.
In relation to the above, we note the following:
The CHP station is a dispatchable cogeneration unit, part of which qualifies as highly efficient (High-Efficiency Combined Heat and Power/ HE-CHP) under the Code's provisions, but also under the specific operational terms which were approved by way of RAE's Decision No. 700/2012 (as amended by Decision 341/2013).
According to Article 197(2) of Law 4001/2011, from 1/9/2011 onwards, all HE-CHP stations, regardless of their installed capacity, gain priority for the allocation of their loads. In particular, in accordance with Article 197(3) of the above Law, HE-CHP stations with an installed capacity over 35MW are to be compensated with the tariff which derives from the table displayed in Law 3468/2006, plus the Natural Gas Clause Coefficient (CC), which is calculated using the following formula: CC = 1+(AGP-26)/(100 x nel)
• AGP: the monthly mean average unitary selling price of natural gas to NG users in Greece who are also electricity customers, in €/MWh using the gross calorific value (GCV). This value is determined by the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change's Petroleum Policy Directorate and is communicated to Hellenic Transmission System Operator S.A. (HTSO or DESMIE) on a monthly basis.
• nel: the electrical efficiency of the provision for High-Efficiency CHP based on the gross calorific value (GCV) of natural gas, which is defined in accordance with the station's technical information, as reported by the relevant Operator.
The CC value cannot be lower than one (1) and is determined on a case-by-case basis by way of a decision made by the Minister of Environment, Energy and Climate Change (henceforth the "Ministerial Decision") following consultation by RAE. RAE's opinion must also take the plant's installed capacity into account, in a way so that the determined value generally decreases as the capacity increases.
Moreover, the AGP is displayed in €/MWh and includes the ET, as specified in the letter sent by the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change's Petroleum Policy Directorate on 2/11/2011.
The High-Efficiency CHP station owned by the Company has an installed capacity of 334MW, of which 134.6MW has priority in entering the system (HE-CHP) in accordance with the aforementioned decisions which approved the Specific Operational Terms. From 1/9/2011 until 31/10/2013 (which ADMIE set as the final date for settling the ET), the CC value, as defined above, had not been established because the relevant decision had not been issued by the Minister of Environment, Energy and Climate Change, despite the fact that the Regulatory Authority for Energy had issued two relevant opinions in accordance with the provisions of Article 197(2) of Law 4001/2011 (RAE 3/2012 and RAE 5/2013). Consequently, the Subsidiary's HE-CHP neither issued invoices nor received a tariff in accordance with the provisions of Law 4001/2011. Instead, following the signing of a Private Agreement between the Company and the Operator of Electricity Market (LAGIE) on 26.4.2013, HE-CHP issued temporary invoices, for the entire aforementioned period, at the minimum price which could have resulted from the application of the mathematical formula established by Law 4001/2011 (if the CC value was set at the unit price, i.e., if the AGP amounted to 26€/MWh). According to the Private Agreement, the final settlement was to take place following the establishment of the CC by way of the issuance of the relevant Ministerial Decision, so that dispatched HE-CHP energy would be compensated in accordance with the provisions of the "Supplementary Agreement for Transactions relating to Electricity from the Dispatchable High-Efficiency CHP Station" (Government Gazette B' 3108/23.11.2012) which was concluded between the Company and LAGIE on 28.11.2012.
The aforementioned provisions of Law 4001/2011, in conjunction with the provisions specified in the letter sent by the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change's Petroleum Policy Directorate, as well as the provisions of both the Company's Private Agreement with LAGIE and the "Supplementary Agreement for Transactions relating to Electricity from the Dispatchable High-Efficiency CHP Station" between the two parties, require that the Natural Gas ET is recovered to the extent that the natural gas was consumed in generating electricity. Therefore, the Company also recognized the part of the Natural Gas ET which corresponded to consumptions made in generating useful heat (steam for the Alumina production process) as a liability (deducted from ADMIE's receivables balance), the total value of which amounted to €9.1m.
Regarding the remaining balance of ADMIE's relevant briefing note, which amounts to €8.3m and relates to the Natural Gas ET which corresponded to consumptions for electricity generation (HE- CHP), it is noted that this does not constitute a liability for the Company. Specifically, in accordance with IAS 37, "a liability is a present obligation of the entity arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits". Based on the above and given that the Company has not received a final compensatory price for the Period (by way of the CC, see above), while, based on the Private Agreement between the Company and LAGIE, the final settlement will take place following the issuance of the relevant Ministerial Decision regarding the establishment of the CC (which has not been issued), the Company believes that it has no commitment which would legally constitute an obligation to return the amount of €8.3m. A relevant liability may arise once the aforementioned Ministerial Decision regarding the establishment of the CC is issued, in which case the Company estimates that the final compensation that it will receive for electricity dispatched to the system as High-Efficiency CHP will exceed the amount of €8.3m. Therefore, it is not expected that a loss will result for the Company .
Finally, in respect of the final settlement of the CHP pricing for 2013 it is noted that, on the 4th of June 2015 the Company, sent a letter to the Operator of the Electricity Market (LAGHE) asking the convene of the Dispute Settlement Committee as provided in the article 16 p. 2 of the "Supplementary Agreement for Transactions relating to Electricity from the Dispatchable High-Efficiency CHP Station" signed between the parties. The dispute in consideration concerns the imposition of a 10% special tax plus an extra 10% of one-off discount on tariffs, both regarding the financial year 2013.
Following negotiations, the parties have reached a mutually acceptable draft arbitration agreement, so as to jointly apply for the resolution of the dispute by the special arbitration of the Regulatory Authority for Energy (RAE), in accordance with article 37 of L.4001/2011. At 07.02.2018 the two parties signed an agreement to continue the dispute with the help of the arbitration of the Regulatory Authority for Energy .
According to IAS 37.14: A provision shall be recognised when:
(a) an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
(b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and
(c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If these conditions are not met, no provision shall be recognised.
No provision has been made for this matter, since according to the relevant opinions of the Company's legal advisers and the management of the Company: (a) the existence of a commitment has not yet been finalized; and (b) there is no probability that there will be an outflow of financial resources.
According to the information provided in previous Financial Statements, the General Court of the European Union has turned down the Company's appeal with the decision dated 13.03.2018. The Company is going to institute proceedings against the above stated decision, before the competent courts of European Union which have the final judgment on the nature of the difference in the selling price of electricity as illegal or non-State aid. As a result, the Company has recognized the amount of 17.4 € mio plus 4.2 € mio of interest expenses in the profit and loss statement of 2017.
DEPA claim against the Company (as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME and Protergia Thermoilektriki Agiou Nikolaou Power Generation and Supply S.A. due to merger) and Korinthos Power S.A.
DEPA S.A. demands:
Regarding charges that arose from the retrospective revision of the contract price due to the revision of the prices charged by DEPA's supplier, the Turkish company "BOTAS PETROLEUM PIPELINE CORPORATION":
The Company and Korinthos Power S.A. contested the existence of the said amounts.
The Company (as universal successor of Protergia Thermoilektriki Agiou Nikolaou Power Generation and Supply S.A. due to merger) and Korinthos Power S.A. filed arbitration lawsuits against DEPA S.A. in order to resolve the aforementioned disputes. The arbitration limited DEPA S.A.'s claims to 24 months and it was decided that the company as well as KORINTHOS POWER S.A. owe to DEPA S.A. a compensation only for the years 2012 and 2013, i.e. € 4.2 mio the Company and € 3.2 mio KORINTHOS POWER S.A., while the two companies do not owe DEPA S.A. any compensation for the years 2011, 2014 and 2015. Moreover, the Arbitration decided that the two companies do not owe DEPA S.A. the invoiced interest on the claimed amounts (for any year).
Finally, discussions are ongoing between the Company (as universal successor of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME) and DEPA S.A., with respect to the case of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME. It should be noted that the arguments of ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME are considerably stronger than those of both Protergia and Korinthos Power, not only due to the terms of the agreement that were applicable for ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME, but also due to the calculation method regarding the compensation for the CHP power, which was injected by ALUMINIUM OF GREECE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL SOCIETE ANONYME to the system, during critical period. The aforementioned calculation method did not include the additional amount which was calculated by DEPA regarding the BOTAS agreement. Consequently, the Group's financial results experienced a negative effect of € 6.4 mio, out of which € 3.4 mio had already been recognized in previous periods, while € 3 mio have been recognized during 2018 as provisions.
After the termination of the agreement between the Company (as universal successor of METKA S.A. due to merger) with UBAF (Bank) to keep cash of the Company amounting initially to € 59,7 mil. within a term deposit account, followed the refusal of UBAF to transfer the aforementioned balance it maintained to the Company's current account. During 2017 the amount of 32 € mio was released, while during 2018 the two parties have reached a mutual agreement for the use of the remaining amount for the operations of the Company and the granting of credit lines.
ENTREPOSE ALGERIE SPA as a subcontractor of the Company (in its capacity as a universal successor of METKA S.A. as a result of merger) on the basis of a relevant contract (No A-7449) entered into on 1 June 2014, concerning the execution of part of the works relating to the construction of Hassi R'mel II power plant in Algeria, referred to arbitration against the Company before the Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), claiming payment of the amount of EUR 6,968,496.39 plus interest, as compensation for damage suffered on the basis of that contract. The Company (as a universal successor of METKA SA due to merger) intends to respond to the abovementioned application for arbitration by submitting a claim against ENTREPOSE ALGERIE SPA for the payment of damages and penalties amounting to approximately EUR 8,650,000 due to non- compliance of the contractor with its contractual obligations under the same contract. As a result of the amicable settlement of the two parties during 2018, the aforementioned claims have been abolished and there are no counterclaims.
There are other potential third party claims of € 4.3 mio against the Company for which no provision has been made.
According to IAS 37.14: A provision shall be recognised when:
(a) an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
(b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and
(c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
If these conditions are not met, no provision shall be recognised.
No provision has been made for this matter, since according to the relevant opinions of the Company's legal advisers and the management of the Company: (a) the existence of a commitment has not yet been finalized; and (b) there is no probability that there will be an outflow of financial resources.
Moreover, there are claims of the Company against third parties, which totally amount to € 12.8 mio.

The Company Mytilineos S.A., as an integrated company operating as producer and supplier of electricity and supplier of natural gas, taking into account provisions of Law 4001/2011 (Government Gazette A '179) and Directive 2009/72/EC, Article 31, on specific rules on unbundling of accounts of integrated electricity and natural gas companies, maintains separate accounts, Balance Sheet and Income Statement, for Electricity Production and Supply as referred to in article 141 of Law 4001/2011 and the No. 43/2014 authorization decision of the Regulatory Authority for Energy, as well as for Natural Gas Supply , as referred to in article 89 of Law 4001/2011.
The Company also operates in non-electrical industries, for example through "Metallurgy and Mining" and "EPC and Infrastructure" sectors.
At the end of the financial year, the Company publishes according to the IFRS its separate profit and loss statements and balance sheet per electrical energy business area (Balance Sheet and Income Statement before tax), in accordance with the relevant provisions of Law 2190/1920. Income, Expenses, Assets and Liabilities relating to non-electricity sectors are allocated to the Separate Consolidated Balance Sheet and Income Statement in the "Other Operations" category. The aforementioned statements are included in the Notes to the Company's annual financial statements, which are approved and contain a certificate issued by Chartered Accountants. The certificate makes reference in the regulations approved by the RAE, in accordance with Article 141, paragraph 4 and Article 89, paragraph 5 of Law 4001/2011. It is mentioned, that the Company did not reform the comparative separate financial statements of the previous year.
The methods and accounting rules followed by the Company are dictated by the general accounting principles and the articles of the International Accounting Standards (IFRS), which must be mandatorily kept.
The Accounting Department of the Company is fully computerized with a valid and properly configured accounting plan and software (SAP), which ensure that separate accounts are maintained and that separate profit and loss statements and balance sheet are prepared for each activity.
In particular, the mandatory registration of all accounting records per business area (in SAP) is currently applied, as designated by the Company in accordance with the above General Principles, as follows:
(a) Business Areas / Activities
(b) Business Areas apart from electricity and natural gas
• Other Activities
During every document or transaction entry, as well as any other record pertaining to electricity and natural gas industries, the amounts are classified per business area. Subsequently, the corresponding accounts referring to expenses, revenues, assets and liabilities are automatically updated. The software has a security key on the basis of which, no registration is allowed without the above classification.
This way, documents and transaction entries that concern only one of the Company's business areas or indicate a discrete amount per business area, update the separate accounts of every Business Area (a) directly. The rest of the documents and transactions are allocated to each business area, with the use of an allocation key.
Thereafter, the Company prepares the annual profit and loss statements of each financial year per business area.
The entries updating the Assets and Liabilities Accounts, such as fixed assets, reserves, customers, other receivables, suppliers, liabilities and loans are allocated based on the business area to which they relate.
At the end of each financial year, the total Equity is allocated based on the difference between Assets and Liabilities of each business area, which is designated as "capital allocation to business units".
Cash and cash equivalents, financial assets, tax receivables and liabilities, provisions and deferred taxes, are allocated based on the aforementioned "capital allocation to business units".
The annual separate Profit and Loss Accounts for each activity include the Company's transactions with third parties. Specifically, each business area includes the following:
This business area includes Income, Expenses, Assets and Liabilities, which are derived solely from the business area of power plants.
Specifically,
This activity includes Income, Expenses, Assets and Liabilities, which are derived from the trading and retail of electricity. Specifically,
This activity includes Income, Expenses, Assets and Liabilities, which are derived from the trading and retail of Natural Gas.
Specifically,
This activity includes Income, Expenses, Assets and Liabilities arising from Renewable Energy Sources in operation.
This activity includes Administrative Income and Expenses of the Company's Energy and Natural Gas sector.
Other activities include Income and Expenses from Other Sectors, where Mytilineos S.A. operates, such as "Metallurgy and Mining Sector" and "EPC and Infrastructure Sector"..
